Getting to know Manato, who at first glance may seem quiet and serious, but in actuality is a total clown 90% of the time (in the best way possible, of course)
#BEFIRST #BEFIRSTメンバー紹介 #MANATO #マナト #ビーファースト
Manato, the man who will decline your offer to hang out if he’d rather focus on doing his own thing at home (may not even show up even if he says he’ll go later), who will go home just because he has laundry to do (even though laundry is his least favourite chore) and who has a curfew that changes every single time (arbitrarily set by himself even though he lives alone). Our matcha-loving airhead (and prince?), Manato is interesting no matter what he does – he’s the moodmaker that hit us out of no where, and you can always count on him for his insane vocals and dance 🍵🎁
🐧 Notes
– The artist Manato likes is SIRUP not SIRIP 🙇♂️
– It didn’t come up in the video, but Manato has 3 siblings (apparently two older brothers and one younger sister), for anyone curious
– BE:FIRST heights are a real mystery with the shorter trio… because officially from tallest to shortest, we have Shunto (174), Sota (174), Manato (173), SKY-HI (173) but in the height measuring ep of You’re My Besty, it was in the order of Shunto, Manato, SKY-HI, Sota. Shunto is probably still growing, and you can probably argue Manato growing too… but I doubt SKY-HI grew so did Sota shrink?? Either way the official heights are not right lol
