AKB48!
Let's get along! Let's push! Let's get healthy! Meeting!
The 14th "Let's get along!" meeting is attended by this guest.
Please introduce yourself.
Call me "Itomomo" when I ask you a question.
The hint you can spend every day happily is...
Itomomo!
Thank you.
I'm Itomomoka, a 21-year-old middle school student from Saitama prefecture.
Nice to meet you.
Itomomo!
Nice to meet you, too!
Thank you for listening!
I'm happy, too.
Were you nervous just now?
No, I wasn't! I was nervous and made a mistake!
You don't usually make mistakes like that, do you?
No, I don't.
You came to our first "Let's get along!" meeting in 2025 as a guest.
I've been watching you as a fan.
I'm really looking forward to my appearance.
Really?
We haven't had a chance to talk face-to-face like this, have we?
No, we haven't.
We have interviews and performances.
But we don't talk alone.
No, we don't.
I hope we can talk about various things today.
I'm a little nervous.
Are you nervous?
No way!
You always seem to be in good shape.
I don't see you nervous much.
I've noticed that I'm a nervous person since I joined AKB48.
People say I look fine.
No, you don't.
But I can't see you nervous.
Then it's okay.
I'm a pro.
You've been doing entertainment before you joined AKB48.
Why did you start it?
I've been doing entertainment since I was in elementary school.
My seniors told me so.
Really?
I joined AKB when I was in the second year of middle school.
I was scouted and I've been scouted since I was little.
You're cute.
No, I'm not cute at all.
As a child, I had a longing for something wonderful.
I've always wanted to do it.
I like standing on my own two feet.
I've been playing ballet since I was little.
That's where I started.
Oh, I see.
That's nice. You're interested in movies.
That's right.
But you joined AKB from there.
The genre is different, isn't it?
Yes.
How did you decide to join AKB?
When I was active before, when I first joined AKB, I started with the idea of doing anything.
That's right. It's a world you don't know.
That's right.
So I thought, "Well, I'll do anything for now."
Before I knew it, I was on my way to acting.
I was on stage.
I like singing and dancing and saying "Yeah!" in front of everyone on stage.
And I had a chance to collaborate with idols.
At that time, I saw an idol close up and my eyes were stolen by their brilliance.
I thought, "I wish I could be like them."
So I quit my agency and decided to join an idol group.
Out of all the idol groups out there, why did you decide to join AKB?
For me, AKB is like "idol" = AKB48.
It just came out of my head.
But it's a generation.
That's right.
I used to dance and sing in elementary school.
When I found an audition, I decided right away that I had no choice but to take it.
When I quit my previous office, I wanted to be an idol, so I quit for the time being.
I didn't quit because I was stuck, but because I thought I would quit if I couldn't be an idol.
That decision is pretty amazing, isn't it?
The age was also the age, so there are many idols who audition at the age of 19, right?
At that time, I was already 19 years old, so I quit at the last minute and had nothing left.
Because AKB48 is not recruiting all the time, it comes suddenly.
But it's a miracle that there was a timing like that, isn't it?
And I was up to 19 years old, but I wasn't 19 years old because I wasn't celebrating my birthday.
Is that so?
I see.
It's December, so I'm still...
So I took the audition and became 20 years old in the middle of it.
So I think I was probably the most popular among those who took the audition.
It was at the last minute, wasn't it?
It may be a question, but have you ever been accepted other than AKB48?
I haven't been accepted.
Wow, I see.
Once AKB48 falls or wins, until the result comes,
I'll put it here for now.
Wow.
I was accepted when I was accepted once.
No, no, no.
That's amazing, but...
I see, you weren't accepted.
That's right.
It was a miracle.
I know it's a miracle.
I see.
I've liked AKB48 myself since I was little.
Just before I joined, I was 17 years old.
Wow, you were watching it properly.
That's right.
I see, I see.
You're the oldest among us, and you joined when you were 20 years old, right?
That's right.
So you've already finished it well.
I have a lot of impressions like that. I'm happy.
I think everyone will come in with that kind of feeling, such as a sparkling world for this world, but I think it's because I've experienced it that I have to do my best.
Yes, it's my second attempt in the entertainment world for me.
So there's something I can't leave behind, and it's something I've always wanted to do as an idol, so now I'm in AKB like this is really a miracle for me.
I'm here for a choice, and I feel like I'm blessed right now, so I'm ready to do everything I can for GAMUSHARA.
No, it's amazing. It's really transmitted. That resolution, feelings, enthusiasm, and that kind of power that you do is really good stimulation for me as a member.
I'm so happy.
By the way, you also did it on HOSHIKUZU TELEPATH, right?
I think it was a challenge that I joined and challenged quite soon, but how was it during that period?
Yes, it was my first time doing a video, so it was completely different, and it's basically early in the morning for a drama set, so I feel like I've overcome that month of fear now.
But when I just joined, there were Aichan-san at the front, and Narumi-san.
It's not Narumi-san!
Why do you call me like that!
I haven't called you like that before.
I was a little nervous at first.
Can I call you "Naru-san"?
Can I?
I'm happy.
Then I'll call you "Naru-san".
Cute.
What is this time?
It's my first time to be with seniors.
It was as soon as you joined.
Even though it was my first time, I had a lot of things to study.
You had a lot of things to do.
I didn't know what AKB48 was like on the scene.
That's right.
Especially because it was a scene with four of us, we had a lot of interactions.
At first, I didn't know how far I should step in.
That's right.
You've had a very strong start.
That's right.
But I had a great experience there.
That's right.
I feel like I'm making each and every experience into something.
Have you been able to do that?
I think I've been able to do it.
I'm happy.
and such.
Yes!
By the way, I also knew what kind of person she was.
Yes!
I thought she was diligent.
I felt like she was following me around.
If it were me, it'd be the first time I'd felt like I was abandoned more than I did.
Because she's a girl who can make an effort, I think that kind of thing is posited.
I'm happy.
Some of them are younger than me.
I have to do it.
I don't think I can do it anymore.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't have to say that.
You're always trying hard.
I've been thinking a lot about how you're facing each other lately.
I'm happy.
But you have a hobby, right?
Yes.
It's my hobby.
What does it have to do with your hobby?
I'm curious about it.
What do you mean?
My dad likes rakugo.
When I was in elementary school and middle school, my dad didn't have any friends to go see rakugo.
He brought me here.
You went to rakugo with him.
At first, I thought it was boring and I didn't know what it was.
Because you're a kid, you don't know anything.
It's hard for you to say.
But as I got older and older, I started to like it.
From there, I started to go alone.
Do you go alone?
That's right.
I did a rakugo performance at an AKB48 audition.
You did it at the audition, didn't you?
I have to leave a mark.
I like this soul.
I feel like I'm going to do it.
Everyone dances or something like that, but only one person stands out and does rakugo.
That's a good impression.
You have a lot of courage in that environment.
I want to be a rakugo character.
I think you're used to it.
You're making it up now.
You do it every time at the mystery park.
I don't know much about rakugo.
Is there a rakugoist you like?
I like Shintaitenichinosuke.
He's also featured in "Shouten".
For now, I think his story is interesting.
There's also a rakugo "yose" team.
Every day, like an AKB48 theater, there's a storyteller.
- Like a park? - Yes, like a park.
He's a very busy person who has a lot of TV and radio, but he's always in the qualifiers.
And that overlaps with the AKB48 theater.
He's like an idol who cares about the park.
That's funny.
I've never heard of anything like that.
I think it's wonderful that he cares about the park.
I want to be like him.
- I hope we can perform together someday. - Someday!
I should study rakugo a little.
We can perform together, but I hope we can do a concert or a theater together someday.
- I'll practice for about a year. - Practice hard.
- Speaking of solos... - Yes?
- You got a solo song for your album, right? - Yes, thank you for saying that.
"Kawaii Kute Gomen" (Cute and Sorry)
It was perfect for you.
When I first heard about my solo debut, I didn't know the song at first.
- But when "Kawaii Kute Gomen" came out, I thought it was perfect for me. - What?
- Not "perfect", but "perfect"! - "Perfect"!
I thought it was amazing.
I felt it even when I first heard it.
- When I put "gomen" in it, I thought it was "kawaii". - Oh, "kawaii"!
- It was really cute. - How was it when you sang the solo song?
Before recording, I listened to the song a lot.
- For example, I looked up "gobi" and studied it. - I see.
- The same phrase comes up a lot, so I thought about how to sing it one by one. - Wow!
- It's expensive and cute, isn't it? - Yes, it's very cute.
- In order to get closer to it... - Yes.
- You went home and practiced right away, didn't you? - Yes, I practiced.
- I see, you put in a lot of effort. - It's amazing that you can pursue something so cute like that.
- It was really cute, so I hope you listen to the album. - I hope you listen to it.
- Speaking of recent topics, you are selected for the 65th single. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
- As soon as you announced it... - Yes.
- I thought I should ask you about it right away, but... - Yes.
- I've been thinking about doing it since then, but... - Yes.
- What do you think about it? - Yes.
- As the phrase "selected" means... - Yes.
- Among the wonderful seniors and members... - Yes.
- You were selected. - Yes.
- At first, I didn't know if I was okay with it. - Yes.
- After all, I got to be with my seniors at a new performance. - Yes.
- I realized how amazing it was. - Yes.
- It was just when I thought I wasn't good enough. - Yes.
- I'm happy about it right away, but... - Yes.
- I'm more scared than that. - Yes.
- But since you chose me... - Yes.
- I want to repay you in a sparkling way for all the fans who always support me. - Yes.
- I want to make sense of the fact that you chose me. - Yes.
- I want you to say, "It's okay because you're here." - Yes.
- I want to be like you. - Wonderful.
- There are probably many people who don't know me yet. - Yes.
- I hope you can find me and recognize me. - You're all working hard, aren't you?
- It seems like it will end with just joy, but with that first selection. - No. - But I think it's one step above when you're already growing up and want to do more or want to stand where you are now.
[I want to stand where I am now.]
- But like I said, I'm grateful that you chose me even though I think I'm in a situation where it doesn't make sense for anyone to choose me.
- It's great that you're glad you're here. - No, no. - I think we should do it with that feeling in mind.
- Let's liven up the 65th one as well. - Please do! - Let's do it!
- It's our 20th or first single, so please support us as much as you can! - Please support us!
