AISubs v3.7
Oh, it's such an old story.
Well, when I was a kid, my personality didn't change much as it is now, and I didn't like to go out in front of people or stand out.
I tend to be shy and I think I'm pretty similar to myself now.
I tend to be pretty shy, but on the contrary, when I get a job switch, it changes again, but when it's really private, I'm not involved with people at all, and even if we're really good friends, if we have time for a few weeks or a few months, I don't know what to do, I'm the type who can't talk at all.
Dark? Well, I don't want to admit it, but if you ask me if it's bright or dark, it might be a dark color in essence.
What kind of music do you like?
Well, I've always loved hello! project and kyuto-san, and that karaoke contest was a karaoke contest of a small group of berrykyu-san and kyuto-san.
At that time, I really love kyuto-san and as a fan, there is a kind of giving up in myself that I will never win the grand prize.
So, I wanted a signed poster as a prize for the grand prize, and when I happened to go to karaoke box just because I really wanted a poster, there was information that I was doing such a contest in a dam machine.
So, ah!
"Then I'll give it a try", like that, with a light heart, "If I can get something later, I'm lucky", like that kind of tension, I applied for it, and it's the reason I'm here, isn't it?
No, well, when I forgot something, well, I got a call at home, and well, "Congratulations", I got a call like that, "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't go out", like that, at first,
and well, I was embarrassed, so I said, "Well, I'm grateful for that, but is it okay?" But well, they did apply for it and won it, so well, it's a commemoration of being picked as the best singer, well, it's like we're just standing on stage together, and so on, we got to sing on the stage of Nakano Sunplaza, and well, that caused me to enjoy singing, and well, up to now, I sang in karaoke, but now I'm singing on stage using a professional microphone.
I realized how fun it is to sing in front of an audience, and from there I took another audition and came here.
No, maybe it's not at the level of being good at it at all.
Especially when I just joined Juice=Juice or when I just joined Harajuku Pro Detection Team,
I always compare myself with other members, such as my bad microphone skills, so I'm always disappointed.
But I tried hard to think about how I could improve my singing skills and asked for a lot of voice training.
I happened to sing with my sister and my sister's friends, and it felt like I happened to be there, and my friends who sang with me happened to be amazing, so I was able to come out.
That's right. Well, there is also the fact that I originally liked it purely as a fan, but don't you look at the back of standing on the stage?
During the rehearsal, I also held the microphone during the rehearsal and received an explanation that it was like this, and Miyabi Natsuyaki called me and said, "Don't be nervous, it's okay."
Everyone was busy, and even that day, I was asked to stand in front of the live as an opening act, but after that and during the rehearsal of the live, I was really kind to me as an ordinary person, and I wanted to sing a little because I thought it was wonderful to know that it was sparkling even behind the sparkling side of being an idol .
Well, I didn't know about events or live performances in the morning, so I came all of a sudden and sang a little lightly, but I think I did about this and went on stage, so I didn't do a lot of work from that early on, and I didn't expect the members to start rehearsing.
Rather than that, there are staff members who have been in front of me for a long time, and in a good way of such an entertainment industry, I was seen behind the scenes, and there was a little bit of consciousness as a professional, and I was supported by so many people. I understand deeply that there is a performance because of such practice time, and it was a good stimulus for me.
I didn't know it before, and I thought it was really nice when I realized that there was a stage above the thoughts of not only the sparkling part of the world that I was supporting as a fan, but also the pain and difficulties that I was experiencing.
Well, I realized not only the sparkling part I was looking at, but also the goodness of this world, so I feel like I've come this far just because I'm purely happy and want to do it.
Q. Have you ever thought about making a debut?
That's right! Well, even if I joined HaroPro Training School, it doesn't mean that my debut has been confirmed. It's been said since I joined HaroPro Training School, so on the contrary, I didn't have to put pressure on it.
Rather than saying that I was desperately trying to make my debut, I honestly wanted to make my debut in the world I like rather than saying that I had thoughts of doing something desperately for my debut.
I was able to know both the inside and the outside of my heart, and I thought that there was something like a meeting or friendship there.
What is it? It's true that I joined Haropro Detectives on the extension of my studies and club activities, so when I was told that I would make my debut, I was very pressured.
While there are many seniors who are younger than me, I felt for the first time that I could make such a debut.
What was your impression of Haropro Detectives?
Well, as for my age, there was Yuka Miyazaki, me, and the other three, so I was higher up in the group.
I've been active as a sub-leader since the beginning, so in that sense, I can clearly see the difference between Miyamoto Karin-chan, Takagi Sayuki-chan, and Uemura Akari-chan, who have been training for a long time and their own abilities.
Until now, I wasn't aiming for comparison because I was in a large number of people, but when I saw it as five people, I had myself who would compare it, so it was painful for me to have a skill difference that I couldn't do anything even though I was an older sister.
What is Haropro Detectives?
That's right. I had Yuka Miyazaki and Akari Uemura teach only the three of us, or we asked them to teach us dance lessons, and I don't know what it is, but the basics are different for everything.
For me, singing was just fun and there was only a rating in karaoke boxes, so I didn't know how the rhythm was or the 16 beats were coming in without knowing anything, so I was frustrated that I didn't have a foundation and I thought I had to work harder, and in a way it was also a motivation.
※This video is a derivative work of Touhou Project.
I practiced rhythm training with the same song, and that's when I was in the indies. I practiced so much that I can't compare it with now, and I was desperately saying that there was only a repetition practice.
※This video is a derivative work of Touhou Project.
I think there may have been some frustration or something like a side that I hate to lose, but I had a feeling that I couldn't stand it as long as my family, relatives and friends told me that I didn't have to overdo it and that I didn't have to quit whenever it was hard and difficult.
There are fans who support me from the timing of my debut, and I was just a girl who was a fan of HaruPro and liked cute girls until recently, but they found value in me and I was very happy about it, so I had a strong feeling of wanting to meet that expectation.
※This video is a derivative work of Touhou Project.
I was under pressure like practicing every day while crying, but I think I was really blessed with the environment around me, and even though the members have different abilities, they worked hard to fill the gap together.
I don't want to wait for the top to fall, but I want to grow while shrinking the distance together.
At that time, Karin Miyamoto, who had the longest career at the time, taught us various basics, and of course it was before I was decided as a leader.
I think that, beyond Yuka Miyazaki, Karin Miyamoto led the group and led it.
That's right. I was surprised.
When I heard that I would be decided as a leader or sub-leader, I somehow thought it was a standard, so I somehow decided that I had nothing to do with it.
But I felt the pressure of becoming a sub-leader in a good way and the impatience of having to work harder, and I think my posture changed from there.
Until now, it was a stance of "I will follow you" or "I will do my best not to be late for children with a long career", but not only that, but also the feeling that I might be pulled in terms of age has also sprung up.
That's why Karin Miyamoto, Sayuki Takagi, and Karin Uemura teach me a lot about this world,
and there have been things I've experienced as an ordinary high school student, so I hope I can support you in such things as studying.
When did you realize your debut?
That's right. When I realized it.
Personally, there are parts that don't change my feelings when I say that I will make my debut in many years.
Even if I have a junior group or have more juniors, I'm not a newcomer yet, but I'm still at the bottom of the haropro.
It's not like I'm running away, but I've been conscious of it for some time, and the moment it changed significantly was when I was in Juice=Juice.
When my juniors came in, I thought, "Oh, I can't do it like this."
What did you think of when you first met?
Well, that's because, for better or for worse, the five of us have been active for a long time, and we knew all about each other's good and bad points, so there was a place where we could be spoiled.
"Leave it to her here." Or, "If a fake comes, leave it to Sayuki Takagi." Or, "Dance, solo part, yes, yes, leave it to Kanichi Miyamoto."
That kind of role distribution has been decided by the five of us, and it's like, "Then Tomoko will do the talk here." It's like everyone's specialty field, and I avoided what I wasn't good at.
So, when my juniors joined the group, I thought, "Oh, I have to overcome what I'm not good at."
That's when I first realized it for the first time, and I thought I had to face what I've been running away from a little more straightforwardly.
Well, when my juniors joined me for the first time and we talked about what we should do as original members, for example, "I'm not good at talking, so I'll do my best with my performance." There was a place like that, but it wasn't like, "I'm not good at it either, so I'll do my best with my performance." We talked about it like, "Let's do our best with the talk too."
I'm not good at it at all.
No, no, I'm really not good at it.
I'm not good at it even now. I'm nervous.
Well, I don't know what to say, but isn't it difficult to say "practice" when it comes to talking?
So basically, I'm worried about what kind of tension I'm going to talk about, and of course I'm worried about the content I'm going to talk about.
I'm the type of person who is anxious if I don't prepare properly.
"If you ask me like this, I'll answer you like this." I always thought about it before work.
That's what I've been thinking about since I graduated and what I've been asked about since I graduated.
Oh, you asked me about it.
But on the contrary, I thought I'd be asked about my childhood stories, and I thought it was my own history as a jujutsu player, so there are moments when I'm surprised.
However, I don't have that kind of freedom or weirdness in me, so I have to prepare in advance and decide what I want to talk about or what I want to tell you as a point of reference, otherwise I'm the type of person who gets impatient if I say "I have an interview now" all of a sudden, so I have a longing for people who can talk freely and happily about what they came up with on the spot.
As for me, I want Akari Uemura to do it, and she's been working with me as an original member since the beginning, and she's the kind of person who thinks about the group a lot.
At first glance, she looks sloppy or playful, but she's a lot hotter than anyone else and she can think emotionally, and on the contrary, she can calm down and give opinions, and I think that kind of balance is a very good girl, so I've always thought that she was more suitable for a leader than me,
and I've been talking about how I want to see Uemura be the leader for a long time, and I'm excited that it's about to take shape.
That's right.
On the contrary, I'm jealous of him, but I think it's cool that we can talk about such trivial things like this.
It's not cool, but from my point of view, it's a little cool, and I don't think I can keep the feelings at that time as they are.
If you fight with someone and feel awkward for a few days or think about it, you'll feel like you can do anything.
It doesn't matter which one is good or bad.
While we were talking about the performance, there was a time when the whole group felt like a fight rather than a fight with someone.
That fight was only once, and I don't remember anything else other than that one.
This is Juice=Juice's first Nippon Budokan performance.
Juice=Juice loves live performances and has toured all over the country on live house tours compared to other groups.
There were a lot of live performances themselves.
The reason why there were so many live performances was because they thought about what they needed for their inexperienced selves to aim for Nippon Budokan.
I talked to the company about doing a lot of live performances and delivering live performances.
From there, we talked about improving our skills for Nippon Budokan.
In one and a half years, we're going to do a tour that costs 220 yen.
To be honest, I don't know if that period will be one and a half years, and I don't know how long it will actually take, and I don't know if I'll be able to do a Nippon Budokan performance after that, but the five of us talked about making a big word "Nippon Budokan" and doing a live show from the beginning.
So, during that tour, I've been dreaming only of the Budokan and doing my best, but to be honest, it's so hard that it can't be compared with now, and there are a lot of tough moments physically and mentally.
But at that time, I just found out that I was sick, so I ended up spending 220 yen in various troubles and saw that Budokan scenery, and I was so moved that I wouldn't forget it even if I became an old woman.
I've been to Budokan as a viewer, but I felt like we were standing on our own stage and it was a completely different scenery, and I think that moment was the most fun time of my life.
I cried. I really cry. I'm the type who can't stand crying. I just cried. I'm sorry.
The hardest thing was the double tour, wasn't it?
Even though we like live performances, we've never stepped on fire so much.
We've been all over the country, and we've had opportunities to know reality in many ways.
The venue doesn't fill up easily.
And then, well, every day, really silver week, five days in a row, two voices a day, or five days and ten voices.
I had that kind of physical problem, and while I was doing that, I actually broke my throat.
On the contrary, even if I'm fine, other members get sick.
A lot of things like that started happening little by little.
But during the tour, I learned how to spend my time off.
Not only the consciousness of performance during the live performance, but also when I rest at the hotel, I'm a snack lover and an otaku.
Well, what is it?
I think it was a tour where we all shared information like, "This throat medicine is good," or "This honey is good," and made our bodies.
It was really hard, but thanks to that tour, I think the bond between Juice=Juice has deepened.
That's right. It was shining.
I watch it. The first video I saw was Juice=Juice's first Budokan performance.
Oh, I'm still nervous about the first song, the second song, and the third song.
I look at my expressions in detail.
I'm holding back my tears at this moment.
You know that because you're a witness, don't you?
It's the same with my own memories.
And I didn't realize it at the time.
I've seen her coolness in a sudden moment, and I've seen her holding back her tears over and over again.
Who supported you the most?
It may be difficult for me to give you the best three, but who really supported me the most?
When I was about to give up and my heart was about to break, the reason why I didn't give up was because I thought it was the existence of everyone in the Juice=Juice family without joking.
The moment I thought, "I can't do it anymore, I'll give up," has happened several times so far.
At that time, there were times when I was in bad shape and couldn't go out all of a sudden, but even though I came to the venue and paid for the ticket, I was in a position where I could complain, but I was fine, so I'm waiting for you.
There were many moments when I thought I had been waiting for you, and there were many moments when I regretted it even now that I could have done better at that time, but I'm sure there will be many moments in your life in the future that will remind you of the strength of your words that you said, "It's okay, I believe in you."
That's right. I often see comments on blogs, messages on Instagram, and comments in writing.
That's where I get my strength. The timing to be able to give more strength than I originally have is the fans' comments, and I don't want to break the "Kanazawa Tomoko" that you think of.
There are times when I have no choice but to do my best.
I can only guess.
I was wondering if Tomoko Kanazawa on stage and Tomoko Kanazawa in private were exactly the same, but they were different.
I've also talked about being shy, but I can't do anything if I'm shy on stage.
I used to be nervous and shy, but now I like live performances.
I want to answer your expectations like "Do you want to see me like this?"
For example, I'm red, so I want to be a woman who looks good in red.
Tomoka Kanazawa and Ema Takisaki.
I see!
I've only been with Tomoka Kanazawa for about four months since I joined Juice=Juice, but I'm very happy that she talks to me like a member I've known for a long time.
I like Tomoka Kanazawa's father-like side more than her mother's side.
At first, when the members said that, I didn't understand it well, but as I started talking to you, I began to understand the meaning of it and it became more and more fun to talk with you, but when I heard that you were graduating, I was very sad, but I'm happy that you will continue to watch over me because I want to do my best for you.
I'm rooting for you too, Tomoka Kanazawa!
Thank you very much!
That's cute.
You're rooting for me too, aren't you?
You're kind.
I'm Irii Risa.
I couldn't talk at all with Tomoka Kanazawa when we first moved in, but now that we're spending time together, we're getting better at talking little by little.
I've learned a lot from Tomoka Kanazawa about radio work, other events, and shooting, so I hope I can properly express what I've learned a lot about my Juice=Juice activities in the future.
It was a short video, but the time I spent with Tomoka Kanazawa is a treasure for me.
Thank you for watching until the end.
That's all for today.
I'm happy to get comments like this.
I'm Arisawa Ichika.
I love you, Kanazawa.
There are many reasons why I love you, but I can't tell you all of them, so I'll summarize them in one.
There is a point or episode that I love you.
When I make strange movements or do strange things like this, you always give me a comment, so I can speak comfortably and normally.
Your comments are always helpful.
I'm looking forward to your sharp comments in the future.
I love you.
From Arisawa Ichika.
Is it a letter?
I'm happy.
Thank you for saying "I love you" many times.
What's up with her?
I'm Inamere of Juice=Juice.
You will graduate from Juice=Juice this time.
When I joined Juice=Juice and started my activities, it was a short period of time, but I thought it was a very deep period of time.
At first, I had the most opportunities to talk with Kanazawa, the leader of Juice=Juice.
During my YouTube project, I sang with Kanazawa for the first time and took a video of it.
We were in the same studio and we couldn't talk at all.
We used to know and know each other so well that we couldn't think of it now.
But now we can talk about even the smallest things we had this morning.
I'm so happy to be friends with you.
As I joined Juice=Juice, there were more and more juniors.
When I was thinking about what kind of back I should show as a senior, I thought Kanazawa's way of doing things was really cool and I was really impressed.
I was able to see Kanazawa's values and attitude towards work even in the shadows.
I learned a lot and I think I was able to grow in a human way.
Thank you very much.
Even if you graduate, I would like you to contact me.
Even if you send me a message about the smallest things, Kanazawa will definitely return it.
Even if you don't send it, Kanazawa will definitely return it.
While waiting for your reply, I would like to send you various events.
Congratulations on your graduation.
I will do my best as a member of Juice=Juice.
Even if you graduate, I hope you will keep an eye on Juice=Juice.
Congratulations on your graduation.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
It's nostalgic. I couldn't talk at all.
I couldn't say a word.
It was awkward.
I'm calling you every day, so I'm reporting how my body temperature is from morning to morning.
I'm calling you hard and hard like "I went to see Tsumaki Factory-san's live show today", so you know my current situation.
I know you're doing well, but I have a lot of memories with you.
I joined the company four months ago and hugged you. I think we had something in common.
At first, I called you "Kanezawa-san", but I feel like we've grown apart.
We became a team every May and I was really tired of you, so we were together all the time.
After that, I called you "Kanezawa-san" again at the concert of "Safaria" and "Ruby".
Even after graduation, I still call you "Kanezawa-san" all the time.
My recent "Kanezawa-san" information is that I learned your address and asked you about it.
Since then, I've been thinking about going out with you.
I went out with you the other day.
Do you remember, Ms. Kanazawa?
Yes, I do.
I remember it vividly.
You two had a serious talk.
I was so excited that I almost cried.
It was a shocking and chaotic situation.
I think we were able to talk about a lot of deep things.
I've told you a lot of things I've never told anyone before.
Please keep it a secret.
After you graduate, I will contact you again and visit you again.
Please don't ignore me.
If you ignore me, I'll call you.
Please reply to me.
I'll do my best.
Please hang out with me.
Bye-bye.
It was Miyai.
I know.
I've been here about twice already.
I'm Yumi Kugawa.
Oh, you're cute.
I've been helped by you in many ways.
When I and Miyai joined, you graduated at the same time.
I've been working with you for more than two years.
When you performed, you were on stage with your words.
I felt a little lonely without it.
I'm a very shy person.
Sometimes it's too late for me to show myself.
I'm a shy person.
I'm sorry for that, but I think I'm doing a lot of crazy things these days, so I hope I can make people laugh more and more.
I will do my best to perform so that you can rest assured in the future, and I will do my best, so please continue to support me.
That's all for today!
I'm leaving my words for Mr. Kanazawa.
After Mr. Kanazawa graduated, I said it properly on my own radio.
It was the first time I had Mr. Kanazawa say that he was graduating.
At that time, I couldn't stop crying.
I have to announce a concert at Yokohama Arena, but I'm a little stuck.
I'm sorry, please wait a moment.
I'm worried about what I'm going to say to Mr. Kanazawa now.
I think everyone is talking about what they like about Mr. Kanazawa.
I have a lot of things to say about Mr. Kanazawa.
When I joined Juice=Juice, I was full of anxiety.
I never thought I would join Juice=Juice.
It was a sudden incident, and I was told that I would join Juice=Juice because I already had a camera.
I said, "What are you talking about?" and said, "I'm going to meet the members."
At that time, it was very impressive that everyone welcomed me warmly.
I think I had various thoughts.
I felt very relaxed.
I said a lot of things while I was stuck, but I couldn't forget everyone's smile that welcomed me like "It's okay, it's okay because everyone is there."
Mr. Kanazawa is really kind.
He is kind and serious.
There are many parts that I respect and admire.
I respect your stoic and serious attitude towards work.
It's natural, but you're doing your best to keep your schedule and deadlines.
You're doing your best to do things you can't do because you're busy.
You're not telling me what I have to do, you're telling me what I have to do.
I've always thought you were a good leader in making me think I had to do it properly.
I've always been like that before I became a leader.
And I love the gap in the dressing room.
It's really fun in the dressing room.
When we were on a live tour, we spent more time together than we do now.
You talk about a lot of interesting things every day.
Even if you ask me what I just talked about, I can't think of an episode.
You always talk about fun things.
I love your smile so much that I can't forget your face.
It's not such an eternal goodbye, so it's not that intimate.
There were a lot of parts that I thought helped you exist.
And when I was chosen for your solo live, I also participated in the back dancer and chorus.
At that time, I was able to see your greatness up close again.
I felt again that you are a very attractive person and I love you more.
After all, I like your song.
At that time, I really felt that you are a very humble person, so you often said "I'm not like that at all" or "No, no, no", but it's not like that at all, and it's really amazing.
On the other hand, I often saw you saying "My song is" or something like that, but that sense of stability, everyone except you, everyone says that your singing voice is wonderful and I like it.
But you still seem to be a genius, but that's why you're getting more and more attractive singing voice, or you're working hard without trying, so you can feel that it's such a wonderful singing voice, and I was able to see you working hard right next to you, so I think it was a very good experience.
Well, there was a corner called "Manaka, are you okay?" on Beyfm's "We are juice juice" radio and corner, but it was a corner that came up because you were worried about me in the morning, and I thought it was amazing, and there weren't many times when you called me "Manaka-an" or "Inabacchon" or "Manaka-chan", so I felt like the distance was shortened at once.
You called me "Manaka" in the morning and your face is not "okay" but "Is it okay?" That's why you're like a father. I love that kind of thing and I like it so much! I'm doing my best! Thank you! It feels like the best rose quartz.
Honestly, I do feel lonely, but it's what you decided and you wrote on your blog before that you're happy that I chose to take care of my body and I think it's really true and I think I can make a lot of memories in the future, so I hope you'll stay with me for a long time! Thank you!
And thank you so much for everything! I love you! Bye-bye!
Thank you! Tension!
It's amazing! Is rose quartz making fun of me a little? Is it okay?
I'm Yamaruru! Congratulations on your graduation! Thank you!
Kanazawa, who was always too firm, graduated and I was worried about what would happen in the future.
I still have a lot of things to do, but I will do my best so that you can graduate with peace of mind and I hope you will continue to watch me!
so thank you! Kanazawa! Thank you! I love you! Thank you!
No, Lulu is too firm! I really don't want you to overdo it! Do your best!
I'm Akari Uemura of Juice=Juice! Yes, I've been dating Kanazawa and Tamako-chan for a long time, and I think it's Juice=Juice!
Thank you!
I've said it with me dozens of times, hundreds of times, maybe thousands of times, and tens of thousands of times, but I think it's amazing that we've said a lot of Juice=Juice!
Even if I'm gone, even if I'm away for a while, I'll say Juice=Juice! Instead of that, I'll say it in various places, so don't worry!
Tamako is Tamako and she's fun and anything is fine, but I think she's a little shy and a little difficult to invite, so I'll talk to you actively, so please say anything like a meal for a moment, or I'll definitely take you!
I'd like to end with that! That's all from Kei Uemura! Thank you!
I'd like you to take me with you for anything! It's painful!
Is it over? And has another person sent you a message?
I'm Takui Nakajima.
Congratulations on your graduation, Tomoko Kanazawa.
We decided to make our debut with "Juice=Juice".
Our agency posted a lot of "Juice=Juice" debut single posters in various places.
We were told by various staff that we would make our debut this time, as if it were yesterday.
From there, we wrote a lot of songs for "Juice=Juice" as well.
It's not a lot of songs, but we wrote a lot of songs for "Juice=Juice".
In the end, we wrote a solo song for you, Tomoko Kanazawa.
I am very honored.
You came to my live performances many times.
And I'm grateful for your promotion of my album and new songs on your blog and SNS.
There were various physical conditions and various feelings.
I think there were times when a lot of difficult things happened.
I think you've been working hard on a very long tour.
I think you've had a lot of responsibility since you became a leader.
However, I don't think this graduation will be the end of your career.
I think you're taking new steps.
Of course, life is longer from here.
I hope you enjoy it.
Please continue to go forward as you like.
If you have anything to say to me, I'm always welcome.
Congratulations on your graduation.
I'm TAKURI NAGAJIMA.
Thank you very much.
I'm honored.
I was so surprised.
what?
I was surprised.
Oh, please do this later.
I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I was surprised. I'm sorry.
I respect you very much. I admire you very much.
Originally, I joined UPFRONT.
I started listening to the songs of my seniors as a means of studying.
I had a chance to listen to Takagi's songs.
First of all, I fell in love with the charm of the song.
I asked Takagi if he would like to go and see Takagi's live performance with me.
Then we decided to go together.
I went to see the live performance.
I've always loved HELLO! PROJECT.
I've only seen live performances of female idols.
It was my first time listening to rock and punk songs of that genre.
My soul was shaking.
It was my first time going to a live performance.
Even though we were related, we raised our hands and cheered for each other.
There was a song where we got together and swung towels.
I didn't have a towel, so I swung a handkerchief.
I've never seen such a fun live performance where my body moves with the momentum of the place.
I was so excited that I saw it for the first time in my life.
I think there was also an atmosphere of the song and the song selection of the live performance that day.
From there, as a junior, I have a lot of respect for Takagi.
Not only that, but as a fan, I'm cheering for him and announcing it on my blog.
That's how much I've been following him.
I was surprised.
Who was it?
I remembered when I was young.
When Yuka Miyazaki and Karin Miyamoto graduated from high school, I remembered this kind of thing.
I learned that I was shown like this for the first time.
I think it was a good life experience.
Each member has their own personality, such as the length of words, the order of things, and so on.
Manaka Inaba talks about love for a long time.
On the contrary, Ruru Yamada is very simple, but the feelings she wants to convey come to her heart confidently.
That's why Ruru is a hard worker.
Even when I talked about graduating as a member, I was worried about Ruru the most.
She's so firm.
In the comments, I said I was firm.
Rather, from my point of view, Ruru is too firm.
I'm worried if I'm going to punk because I'm working too hard.
Sometimes I want you to relax and work hard.
As I was reading the comments, I felt like I was a parent again.
What do you want to say to Ruru Yamada?
There were children who cried more than me and said, "I'm lonely."
There were children who said, "It's okay."
There were children who hugged me while I was a junior high school student.
I don't mean to deny what I've chosen.
If everyone and everyone have decided, if Kanazawa-san has decided,
pushed me on my back, or said "let's work hard together until the end"
I was happy.
Do you have any regrets about graduating?
Well, well,
well,
in the world, I graduated has been announced,
well, there have been many people's reactions,
in that, until now, until it was announced,
there is something like a hesitation somewhere,
like "is this okay?" I was really worried about it,
but well, since it has been announced,
well, it may be a bad way of saying it,
but since I have come out into the world like this, I have no choice but to take this path correctly.
It was also a point that I was able to split up like that, and
more than when I decided to graduate, when it was announced,
I was able to split up like that, and I think there was a big change in my feelings.
Originally, I entered this world because of the karaoke contest, and I still have a strong feeling of singing that I like to sing, so I still have hope that I want to sing, but I also have a physical condition, so I think I have to think about what kind of activities I can do in the future while consulting with my body.
It was lonely.
It was the first time for me to graduate from the same group of members, and it was my junior, Nanami Yanagawa-chan, but it's not a sad farewell that the child who came later than me leaves first.
There is a proper path for me, or a future prediction diagram, and I am steadily taking one step towards it.
The appearance of that junior is very sad and cool, and it really feels like a journey to my school.
And again, when the same group of members, Yuka Miyazaki, graduates, there is a different loneliness that comes with Nanami Yanagawa-chan.
I think that the period of being together for a long time was longer than being with my family, but it was not like I couldn't see you for the rest of my life, but it was incredibly lonely that people who used to be normal suddenly disappeared.
Well, I'm the moment I joined Juice Juice, right?
Well, first of all, I'm the type of person who wants to know in advance that there are many painful things, so I'd like to tell you in advance, but there are many painful and difficult things like that, but there are many more happy and fun things than that, so I'm happy and happy about it.
Do you want me to tell you that you should do only what you should do without forgetting your gratitude for that?
The fact that you shouldn't think about extra things makes me think a lot of negative things, so I'd like to tell you.
I might be like that. When I'm at home, I might not be so kind.
Nice to meet you. I'm Juice=Juice's leader, Tomoko Kanazawa.
I, Tomoko Kanazawa, will graduate from Juice=Juice and Hello! Project on November 24th.
I love Hello! Project and have been supporting it as a fan for a long time before joining.
I've had such a precious experience for a long time, and I never thought I'd be on stage and make a lot of memories with you.
I was able to do my best during this period of time because of your support. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much that I can't thank you enough. I've received a lot of encouragement and power from you.
I've had a lot of trouble wondering if I couldn't repay you all.
But I want to repay you all of it by the time I graduate.
I think I have to work hard enough to repay you, so thank you for your support until the end.
I don't know what I'm going to do after graduation and what I'm going to do in the future.
I'd like to think about my body and my future while thinking about it.
I hope you'll keep an eye on me.
I hope you'll continue to support and cheer for me even when I'm gone.
The members are a little tough, and that's cute.
I know you're cheering me on, but there's a lot of conflict and anxiety.
I think I'm holding it now, so I'd like you to support my juniors and my classmate Akari Uemura again.
Thank you very much for everything you've done for me.
I'm Tomoko Kanazawa.
Thank you very much.
It's like a talk fire.
There's something about it.
We've been getting along well with each other lately.
We've been getting along well with each other.
We've all been screaming at each other in our new song "familiar" music video.
We don't know how it's going to turn out, and we haven't seen the finished product yet, so we don't know how it's going to be used, but that's the kind of scene it's going to be.
And this time, I happened to see it in an AV magazine.
There's a story behind it.
If you look at it from a distance, it's kind of like fire.
I think it's either fire or water.
If you ask me if it's fire, it's fire.
I was like, "Is it okay? I'm scared."
I've been in charge of the ATV for a long time before I got the camera, and I've been taking care of it for a long time.
It's too typical.
I was scared and kept doing this.
I was determined to protect myself like this, but my blood pressure went up a lot.
I can't forget it.
I can't forget it, right?
That's right.
I'm pretty familiar with MV shooting, too.
I think it's the most memorable of all our shoots so far.
It's pretty deep.
But it's amazing, isn't it?
We had decided on a song for Tomoko to graduate from a long time ago.
I was surprised at this timing.
I thought it might lead to something.
We often end up as "shinmei" (new faces)
We do that a lot.
Well, yes.
We are called "kamite no tomoko, shimote no atari" (god-hand Tomoko, left-hand Akari)
We are not called like that.
It's not like that.
But like...
Like...
Not like "mitsume", but like "shinmei" (new faces)
We are like "shinmei" (new faces)
When I say "la la la la la", I want to cry with a beautiful smile.
So I don't think about it with my left hand and say "la la la la la".
It's not like I'm crying because I'm sad, but I think it's strange that the moment when I'm with everyone is precious and I'm crying because I love it.
That's what it's like to have a family that you want to be here.
But it's a little different from family and friends, isn't it?
That's right.
That kind of new genre is one of the members.
I'm glad I met people like that.
That's what I mean by emotions.
I feel like I'm singing.
You don't usually cry while shooting a music video, do you?
I usually sing with Yume-chan.
There is a part where we sing together.
Yume-chan was like me. She cried more than me.
We couldn't look each other in the eye because we were crying.
I don't know if we were crying for each other.
It was like acting like we were crying for each other.
I felt her kindness.
The song is really wonderful.
I want you to listen to it a lot.
That's all for our business talk.
We want many people to watch it.
We feel the same way.
But I think it's different now.
We've been called out for a long time.
What do you mean "two of us"?
We have original members who have been around for a long time.
I think we should talk about this a lot.
That's right.
I think viewers should watch it.
I want to talk about things we couldn't talk about in the past.
When new members joined us,
Tomoko was the first one to graduate from high school.
She cried a lot before joining us.
It's like a segue.
When we were shooting "FAMILIA", we were shooting together.
Tomoko was the first one to leave.
We finished shooting "FAMILIA".
When Tomoko left, we were shooting "FAMILIA" together.
We were like "poro poro poro"
We were proud of ourselves.
We were like "aren't we great?"
We were proud of ourselves.
The girls who join Juice=Juice are like juniors in a good way, but they don't feel like juniors.
They don't look like they are great or anything like that.
They don't rely on their seniors.
They think "let's do our best" and do their best.
That's why there are a lot of spoiled girls.
We couldn't create that environment for them.
But there are a lot of girls who think "let's do our best"
They are strong, aren't they?
They are!
That's right! That's right!
They are strong!
That's right!
They are strong, aren't they?
But even so, when we go up to them and ask "are you okay?" they are like "oh my god" and cry like "are you a baby?"
So juniors should be like juniors.
That's right!
Don't push yourself too hard!
That's right!
Since we are juniors, we can only be juniors now, so we have decided to become more seniors.
That's right!
It's better to be juniors now, isn't it?
That's right! That's right!
That's right!
More and more!
Since I was the youngest, I've been trying not to cause any trouble, but I'm sure I've caused a lot of trouble.
I'm not doing it because I want to, but I don't want to push myself too hard.
I think juniors should be like juniors.
That's right!
They are really cool, aren't they?
They are cool, aren't they?
What is it?
I don't know.
When we decided to graduate, we got encouraging messages from everyone.
What kind of messages? I don't know.
It's okay, Mr. Kanada.
I thought they were supporting me a lot, but on the contrary, I thought "are you okay?"
I don't want you to be a bad girl sometimes, but I want you to be a good girl and live freely.
That's right, that's right.
Everyone has their own ideas.
That's right, that's right.
I think it's okay to have time to do what you want to do intuitively.
That's right, that's right.
It's completely different.
Our early days...
14, 15, 16, 17 years old...
We were already children.
We were more selfish.
We didn't know when a fight would break out.
And it was a super stupid fight.
You might think it's really stupid, but it's like "where is the mandarin?"
"Where is the mandarin?" "I won't tell you."
From one word to "what?"
It was like a sibling fight.
It was really trivial.
Isn't it like that song?
Black Butterfly's "umare te te te te"
modoritaito
At that time, you couldn't look each other in the eye.
There's a move where you hold hands and pull or push each other's bodies.
I felt a little awkward during the fight.
Our hands were supposed to be like "umare te te te te"
But during the fight, we were like...
Isn't it bad to do that during a performance?
But we ended up doing it.
The fans noticed and were worried about us.
What's wrong? Did you have a fight?
Again?!
We had a handshake after the performance.
Regardless of that...
At the end of the show, I had a fight with one of the members.
I want to make up with her now.
I'll make up with you now.
Apologize to me.
Why do I have to apologize?
It's like a fight on the stage.
I don't think people know this, but we are so nice that we think we should fight more.
We are so nice.
But we have to say something.
There are ten of us now, so I think we should do our best.
We don't have the same method.
I don't think we do it in the same way.
We don't have to do it.
We only fight about our performances.
Except for "mikan".
"mikan"?
We don't fight that much about our performances.
For example, we made a mistake during the performance.
We haven't said this before, but we made a mistake during the performance.
And we have time to change our clothes.
But we all change our clothes in the same room.
So we say, "Sorry, we made a mistake here."
But now we say, "Oh, I see. Let's be careful next time."
We say, "Let's be careful next time."
If we don't raise our spirits, we will make the next mistake.
But we used to say, "Sorry, we made a mistake here."
Why?
Yeah.
When we made a mistake, it was like hell.
We didn't say "Sorry" with this kind of spirit.
"Sorry"?
We didn't say "Sorry", we said "Sorry".
On the contrary, we were worried about it and made mistakes again.
Yes, yes, yes.
A series of mistakes.
Yes, yes, yes. That wasn't good.
That wasn't good, really.
But I think we really took advantage of the atmosphere at the time.
But on the contrary, we had a strange sense of professionalism.
Because of our major debut, we had to work harder.
That's why we were trying to make it more intense.
But I think that's really the case.
We dare to do that.
That's why we were able to say a lot of things about ourselves and about others.
Like "This is how it's supposed to be", right?
Yes, yes, yes. That's why we were able to perform better and better.
That's true.
That was one of the reasons.
That's right.
Even if you get along well, there are times when you have to say what you have to say.
Right.
I guess that's another difference between friends and acquaintances.
I'm probably someone who doesn't fight with my members that much.
That's right.
I haven't had much of a fight with my members.
I wonder why.
What's the difference?
I'll probably tell you where the oranges are, so I'll meet you there.
I guess that's why.
I don't think that's why, but I guess you'll tell me where the oranges are.
I don't know.
But on the contrary, even though we were juniors, we were older than each other.
I guess you had that cool side of you that made me want to hit you.
Oh, "buriko"? "Buriko"?
It's not "buriko"! "Buriko"! "Buriko"! "Buriko"!
Huh? Did I say "buriko" before?
Was it a mischievous side of me? Was it a mischievous and cute side of me?
A little...
Oh, you might have been a little mischievous.
You might have been a little mischievous.
That's true. I might have been mischievous and cute at the time.
No, you're not.
Which era are you from?
But I guess you might have wanted to be older than me.
Oh, is that so?
Yes, yes. You might have wanted me to keep an eye on you.
What do you mean?
You might have wanted me to keep an eye on you.
Like, "It's okay, it's okay."
But really...
Like, "Calm down, calm down."
I think it was Tomoko who did it for me.
Yeah, well...
There are times when you just say it out of the blue.
Like, "I'm hungry."
We used to fight about simple things.
Like, "It's early in the morning."
I'm hungry.
Really...
Like, "Hey, hey, hey."
Like, "Hey?"
Was it like that?
Yeah, it was.
Yeah.
It really was.
It's silly, isn't it? When you think about it.
But now that I think about it, that fight was lovely.
No, it wasn't! It wasn't!
I can't do it now!
Yeah, but...
I couldn't do it back then either.
I think it's really no good now.
That's true.
If you did it now, I'd be like, "Hey, you!"
I'd call you names.
But I don't know...
Our seniors and juniors know each other pretty well.
So it's not like we're in the same generation.
That's true.
We're in our 30s, of course.
And we have honorifics.
How about after you graduate?
After you graduate, what do you want to be called?
You don't like it, do you?
I don't like it.
What do you like?
I don't know.
But like, for example, in private...
When you meet up with your former members...
When you look at them from the outside...
Obviously...
Well...
At the bottom, like 12 or 11...
Is it different?
Like that...
And those two at that age...
Like...
I don't know...
Hey, Tomoko!
If you walk around like that...
Even if you look at them from the outside...
Is she weird?
Like that...
No, but like my sister...
Ah, are they brothers?
Like that...
Yeah...
They used to be brothers.
I wonder what's good about it.
But like, for the girls who used to call you "Kanazawa-san"...
Calling you "Tomoko" is like...
Suddenly...
Isn't the hurdle too high for you?
Isn't it like that?
But like, when I was in Beyonce...
They called me "Tomoko-san"...
Yeah.
I was happy.
"Tomoko-tan", I'm happy.
Yeah, I'm super happy.
It's a long way off, isn't it?
Yeah...
Like, for me too...
When I was in elementary school and middle school...
Like, I was in the same class as kids who weren't really close to each other, and we'd all put "san"s on each other's faces.
Like, we'd use honorifics for our classmates too.
"Ah, Mr. Takahashi," or "Mr. Suzuki," or something like that.
It was like that, so...
Like...
It felt like a distance for me, you know.
I was also careful about it and put "san"s on my face.
That's nice.
Yeah, so I wonder what's good about it.
Oh, I'm not saying it's bad as it is.
It's not bad, but...
I think it's a little lonely.
See? It's lonely.
It's lonely, isn't it?
What's good about it?
On the contrary, what's good about it?
If you were me.
You know...
The name you use at a maid cafe...
Stop it!
I love maid cafes in Canada.
What do you usually get omelet rice with?
Tomopyon Ojou-sama.
Are you kidding me?!
No, "Tomopyon" isn't enough.
"Tomopyon Ojou-sama" is more than enough.
"Tomopyon Ojou-sama"?
Yeah.
- Really? - That's me as a set.
- That's me. - Really?
Yeah, that's fantasy.
Like...
You all go to dreamland and stuff, right?
It's the same for me.
I go to theme parks.
- Hey, I'm not making fun of you. - Yeah.
- I'm not making fun of you. - I go to dreamland.
That's why I exist in the world I live in as "Tomopyon".
- Okay, okay. - "Tomopyon Ojou-sama".
- Is that world enough? - Yeah.
We get involved...
- Oh, "maki"... "maki" means...
- No, you don't have to get involved. - Oh, "maki"... "maki" means...
Because, you know...
When you say "Tomopyon-san" like "Evataki Saki-chan"...
It's awkward, isn't it?
It's not "Tomopyon-san", it's "Ojou-sama"!
"Tomopyon Ojou-sama", isn't it?!
- Scary! - You're too scary, senpai.
Scary! I don't want to meet you! I don't want to mistake you for a fan!
- On the contrary... - Oh, no...
How about "senpai"? Is it too far away?
- "Senpai"... No, but you're cute, aren't you? - Right?
- Isn't it scary? Doesn't it make you nervous? - "Senpai"...
"Kanazawa-senpai"...
- "Tamako-senpai"... How about you? - Oh, but if it's "Tamako"...
- Does that mean I can join you? - No, I don't like that!
- I don't like that! - I don't like that!
- It's weird and creepy. - It's fine if it's "Tamako", right?
- Why is it "senpai" of life?! - Eh...
- Well, you'll get lost, won't you? - Right? "Senpai" is nice.
It might make you nervous. "Tamako-san" is fine, though.
- "Tamako-san"? - "Tamako-san".
- But "Kanatomo" is too far away, isn't it? - "Kanatomo"...
- It's a little far away, isn't it? - It's about the same nickname, isn't it?
- I guess "Tamako-senpai" or "Kanata-senpai". - Can you add something?
- I'm seeing more and more... - I can see something different.
- The settings have changed a lot. - I can see something like "shoujo manga" in the background.
- Kanji-san, have you met your fans in the city? - Yes, I have.
- But they don't notice me. - What do you mean?
- They notice me, but they don't notice me even though I'm wearing my goods. - What does it mean?
- It's like "kataomo", isn't it? - Sometimes they notice me, but they don't say "hey, it's me, Kanatomo".
- It's weird. - It's weird.
- If my members are around me, I can say "hey", but when I'm alone...
- I can say "it's okay". - It's okay.
- Basically, I'm not an active person, so I can't talk to people.
- I can't do it, but if someone is around me, I can get stronger.
- I'm sure you'll be able to say "thank you for coming to see me" when you're alone. - Of course I'm happy about it.
- I'm sure you'll be able to say "thank you for coming to see me" when you're alone. - I'm sure you'll be happy about it.
- I think it's essential. We're just hanging out. - I'm pretty Indian.
- I'm sure you'll be able to say "thank you for coming to see me" when you're alone. - I'm sure you'll be happy about it.
- I'm very happy about it, but there's one thing I want to say about this. - What is it?
- When I'm walking in the city...
I don't mean like I'm talking too loud or anything like that...
But like...
When I'm walking and I'm asked something...
I don't really respond.
Why?
Um...
It's like...
If it's with an older person...
Like "Hey, hey!"
- Ah! - "Hey, hey!"
So it's like...
She doesn't look like a fan or anything like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- That's a little scary, isn't it? - Yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm a girl, so...
- I might have some kind of interference. - Yeah, it's scary, right?
- Right? Like "pick up" and stuff. - Yeah.
- That's why I always ignore it. - That's true, that's true.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So one time... - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that day...
I was just walking around and I didn't...
Ah, that hurts! My eyes are watering!
- Um... - All of a sudden?
Um, I wasn't...
Like...
I wasn't really going to the station...
I was just walking around and...
Well, I was headed for the station's platform.
And I was about to go in...
And like...
- "Hello!" Like that. - Yeah, yeah.
And I was like "Hmm?"
- Like that. - You were just walking around.
And I was about to get to the platform...
But I got into the train and I was at the platform.
- So you were scared? - Yeah, I was like "What?! I'm scared!"
- Yeah, yeah. - And like...
And I was like "toko, toko, toko, toko, toko, toko," and then the train...
- Just opened and I went in and out of the train. - Wow.
- It's scary, you know? - Yeah.
- I went out of the train and I was like "Ah, thank goodness."
But I wasn't in the train.
And when I went in...
I was standing and a person I know came up and...
What?!
- And called my name? - Yeah!
If you say "oh, okay" or something like that, right?
If you say it, like "hello" or something like that, I'd be like "eh, hello, who are you?"
But I can't warm up.
I thought about it and it's already too late for that.
Isn't it sad? So I want you to call me by my name for now.
Name, right? I see.
I want you to call me by my name.
Knowing that you're calling me by my name means that you want me to know it with just one word, right?
That's right, it's scary.
That's right.
But there's a lot of information about us from fans.
I think you know a lot about fans.
That's right, it's been eight years since I've been active as Just Just.
It's amazing to have friends for eight years.
It's amazing if you're over seven years old.
It's pretty amazing.
You've already made a bond there.
I think that's the first thing you think of when you think about graduating.
That's what you said.
There's something that fans have done for me so far, so I don't want to suddenly quit.
I don't want to break that bond.
Of course, I want you to be convinced of it.
That's why I don't want you to say goodbye to me right now.
That's why I've been talking with the company for a long time about how much I can do and how much I can do.
I'm grateful that Upfront gave me that time.
I'm grateful that you listened to my selfishness and gave me a chance to end the live show.
I've said I like live shows.
I wanted to end the live show.
It's amazing, isn't it?
At first, it's not a lie or anything like that.
When you decide something, there's a difference between you and your fans.
It's like we can announce it to the world when we start preparing for a new song or something like that.
At that time, I hope we can talk about it.
The first thing that comes up is about the fans.
It's not about family or anything like that.
Oh, fans... What should I do?
Which one do you like better?
That's amazing, too.
Normally, you don't care about other people's opinions that much.
Myself and my members and stuff like that.
Coming out of there is based on that much of a trust relationship, isn't it?
It's amazing.
No, but I'm really grateful.
To be honest, everyone in this world has their own reasons for entering this world.
There are many girls who came into this world because they wanted to be, but there are also girls who came into this world for weird reasons.
It's like I'm here now by chance.
I'm really grateful that girls like us in the countryside of Saitama are cheering for us with such passionate feelings.
There are many other cute girls like us in Haropro.
We can sing and dance.
We can rap and have a good voice.
I'm very confident that they support me in that situation.
Sometimes you wonder, "Why me?"
It happens.
When we shake hands, girls come up to me and say, "Oh, you should check out other girls, too."
Some girls say, "You're cuter."
I'm like, "Why are you wearing a red T-shirt?"
There are a lot of girls like that.
I think it's a miracle that we met and cheered for each other for some reason.
I don't think it's a lie that I don't want to forget how grateful I am for you until I graduate.
It's not just for fans, it's for the company and the members.
I'm a woman who can't live without my family.
It's like I have a family.
One family called Juice Juice Family is like that.
It's a real family.
I'm really grateful for my mother, father, and brothers.
When I had a problem, Uumuu talked to my sister.
It's like you're talking to your sister more than me.
Are you okay, Tomoko?
My sister doesn't say that to me.
"I'll ask you later." "Really?" "Really?"
Did you keep in touch?
My sister doesn't worry about me.
She always supports me.
She's surprisingly gentle.
In front of me, she says, "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm glad you're okay."
Surprisingly, she's moving behind me.
That makes me happy.
I know.
I'm glad you're okay.
We've had a lot of support.
From the early days of Orimen to now, we've worked hard together.
I'd like to thank Uumuu again. Thank you.
I'm sorry. I heard a bonfire.
Why? You heard it, didn't you?
I'm sorry. I really heard a bonfire.
I'm talking loudly outside.
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
I didn't expect Uumuu and me to stay like this until the end.
I was surprised.
I didn't expect Uumuu to be the last one.
Wait a minute! I'm the youngest in the group.
I don't know where you're looking at.
You're right. I don't know where you're looking at.
I don't know where you're looking at.
But I'm glad you stayed until the end.
I'm sure you'll continue to lead us in the future.
No, I'm not worried about that.
Why?
I'm sure you'll continue to lead us in the future.
I'm not going to eat it myself, but I'm going to do my best as a serapirock.
I'm not a leader, but I'm doing my best.
I don't know, leader.
Maybe you're a temporary leader.
I think you'll know by the time you're out of here.
I don't know which one is used.
I took a picture of my family around here.
I was sitting on my right foot like this.
We were talking about our roles.
I asked her who she thought I was.
She said, "Wan..."
chan?
She's underestimating me.
Even though I'm going to be a senior in the future.
She said, "Wanchan!"
She's not my dad or anything like that.
"Wan..." "chan!"
I think that distance will be a place in everyone's hearts.
