H.K.T.48 Natsumi Matsuoka
Newly born gravure queen, H.K.T.48 Natsumi Matsuoka.
H.K.T.48 Natsumi Matsuoka is 17 years old.
She is the same age as Matsui Jurina and Kodama Holka.
She is one of the members aiming for the next generation.
H.K.T. had an audition in my hometown.
I took it as an opportunity.
It went well.
Matsuoka also has regrettable feelings.
When H.K.T. was first announced,
Kodama Holka and I were in the center position.
I think people had high expectations of us at first.
Then H.K.T. came in and we are in second place now.
Even now, many fans say they want to see me in the center position again.
It's frustrating, but it's a win-win situation.
And H.K.T. is aiming for...
I think it's individualism.
I want to work in magazines in the future.
When I went to a book store, I saw people riding on every cover.
I think it's enviable.
I want to ride in fashion magazines.
Matsuoka is said to have become more mature recently.
Her activities in gravure have increased and her presence has increased.
I've done gravure several times this year.
I can't count all of them.
I can do a job I couldn't do last year.
I think it's a progress.
What is the response of gravure?
There are more people who say "nice to meet you" at handshakes.
Even outside of Fukuoka, when people say "nice to meet you" at handshakes in Tokyo, Nagoya or Osaka,
they say "I've seen you on TV" or "I've seen you in magazines" and I'm very happy about that.
Even when I'm actually on TV, it's hard for me to hear their voices directly, so I'm happy that they're watching me.
This year, they say they have a strong desire to be called by their names.
Last year and the year before that, the people who voted for me didn't get anything in return,
so if I think that vote was in vain, I'd like to get in.
She was 57th place in the quick-fire poll.
Being in the quick-fire poll gave me confidence, but there were more members of the same team who were called later than me,
and I was frustrated about that, so I wanted to be called higher up in the finals.
I had a lot of emotions, and I found a possibility of getting higher up in the finals.
I really wanted to do my best.
What is her goal?
I was 57th place in the quick-fire poll, but I want to be in the next girls' center 33rd place.
I want to go higher up in the finals, and I've never been in the center 33rd place before,
so I think I have a chance, and I'll do my best.
I want to look forward to seeing Natsumi Matsuoka's ranking as an adult beauty.
