- Make a playlist of songs you like from AKB. - Isn't it good?
- It's like... - It's like...
- At first it's like "kyon!" and then "pyon!" - If you were to date someone...
- Who do you think you'd marry first? - Siri...
- Ah! Siri... - Ah! Siri...
[What do you think about when you dance?]
What do you think about when you dance?
- "What do you think about when you dance?" - What do you think about?
I'm...
- The type of person who thinks about lyrics. - Ah...
I'm the type of person who has facial expressions and movements that go with the lyrics.
That brings back memories... What was I thinking about?
But back in the day...
There's this thing called "mobile mail" that AKB members send to each other.
- I used to write a reflection every time after a performance. - I know, I know.
I used to write a reflection and say, "I made this expression when I sang this song."
- I know! It's like a reflection book! - It's like a reflection book!
- You wrote it like a diary. - I wrote it!
- That brings back memories! I even wrote it today! - Today...
- "Today's performance didn't go well here." - I wrote it! I wrote it!
It brings back memories! I think I thought about lyrics a lot back in the day.
- You two were stuck in class and talked a lot about the lyrics of my favorite song. - Did we? What was it?
- You were talking about how you, Takeuchi-senpai, and Kono Akiri and DJAL were connected. - What was it?!
- But I thought about the meaning of the lyrics a lot and thought, "Eh, so that's what it meant." - I remember you two practicing a lot.
But you two were really confident.
- You always went to the theater early. - We practiced early and got serious.
Is there anything you're glad about being Minervis Children?
- There's a lot! - There's a lot! There's so much!
- I definitely want to be Minervis Children. - I know.
- Even now. - Even now we're Minervis Children.
If it weren't for Minervis Children, we wouldn't be where we are now.
It's quite a big deal in life.
If Minervis Children hadn't come to our lab at the time...
- I don't think we'd be where we are now. - I don't think we'd be where we are now.
There's a lot of things...
But you know, recently I've been thinking...
- When I was your age, I was in your age group. - Really?
- I thought you were amazing. - I was amazing.
- You were like an older sister to me. - I was like an older sister to you.
- When you think about it now, you can't run and dance with a middle schooler. - No, no, no.
- And you had to hold hands while dancing. - It was so refreshing.
- Yeah, you had to put your arms out, stomach out and legs out. - That's not something a 20 year old can do.
- I can't say it because it's embarrassing, but when I think about how you worked hard and how you put us together... - I know.
- I've been thinking about you a lot lately. - Yeah, when I see you...
- Of course, your brilliance on stage is important, but I also think you raised us with humanity. - I know.
- I grew up watching you and your humanity. - Yeah, you really raised me.
- Mom? - Tell me about the moment you realized you were saved.
- When I was in grad school... - Yeah, yeah.
- I had to say something really serious before I could say it. What was it? - There's a charity song called "Tenohira ga Kataru Koto" in East Japan.
- And you had to say how you felt about your recovery while dancing to the song. - Yeah, yeah.
- You had to talk about people. - Yeah.
- I was about 14 years old at the time, and I was being pushed around and pushed around by adults. - Yeah.
- I had a good position, and I was in charge of saying those important lines. - Yeah.
- But I couldn't remember the lines. - Yeah.
- I cried so many times that I couldn't remember them, and in the end, Mako and Nana said most of the lines for me. - Yeah.
- Mako Kojima and I said about ten lines. - Yeah.
- And in the end... - Yeah.
That's all I can say.
There were many other things that helped me, but...
- Yeah, that was really helpful. - Yeah.
For me and for Miki, you always supported me in everything I did.
- Yeah. - Miki's attitude towards performance was always the most positive.
- Yeah.
- She always cried after a performance. - Yeah, she always cried.
- She couldn't do it well. - Yeah.
- She always cried at the sound check. - Yeah, at home.
- She always asked the staff how it was. - Yeah, she always asked the staff.
- "How was today's performance?" - "How was it?"
- I'm serious. - Yeah, so...
- When I see you like that, I want to do my best too. - Yeah, I'm happy.
This part of the song was like this, so I fixed it.
Even if it didn't fit during rehearsal, I fixed it.
- Like that. - Yeah.
- The members at the time were a little bothered by it. - Yeah.
- "That's enough! Don't make me do it!" - "That's enough! Don't make me do it!"
- It was too detailed. - Yeah.
- "How can you be cute?" - Huh?
- Nada didn't have hair back then. - She didn't.
- She was like a beautiful girl. - I'm happy.
She became a cool and beautiful woman.
- Yeah. - Beautiful.
I couldn't think of anything like that.
- She was like an angel. - Yeah, like an angel.
- She was so thin. - She had such a pure face.
- She didn't know anything. - Yeah, I was surprised.
- I didn't know what was going on. - She became like a woman now.
- She gradually became a good woman. - How did she become a good woman?
- She started dieting. - She started dieting and...
- Dieting and... - Dieting and...
- She gave up on thinking. - She became a woman.
Half of her life, she didn't want others to say she's cute.
She wasn't interested in being called anything.
She gave up a little bit on being known as a cute and pretty person,
but her heart never gave up.
- In order for me to become really cute, I have to make up my eyebrows first. - Oh, that's right.
- I can make them fixed by your teeth. - Yes!
- It's important to fix your teeth and eyebrows. - It is important!
If you fix your eyebrows properly, people will change, right?
Do you know?
That's right.
If you have beautiful nose and eyebrows, you will change your face.
I think so.
It's amazing.
Realistic.
Tips for auditioning.
But I didn't audition.
Did you audition with the feeling that you were going to be an idol?
Yeah, I liked singing, so I wrote it in the documents to become a singer.
I thought it was a miracle.
A person who looks like a country person came to me and said, "Oh no, I'm in trouble."
A member of Shizuoka.
I didn't have the enthusiasm to become an idol.
What kind of interview did you talk about?
I sometimes say, "I like Ikebe."
Did you say your dream was to become an idol?
Did you say it like that?
In order to stand out.
Oh, in order to stand out.
But I have a great image of Nanawa.
When I was a dance teacher, my mother was very surprised.
I thought I would definitely pass.
That's how different my aura was.
No way!
When I auditioned for Nanawa, I wore a white shirt and black denim like I like it.
It might have been cool.
Your eye makeup was also dark.
That's right, my makeup was dark, black hair and straight hair.
My mother always said that my aura would definitely pass.
I looked like a gyaru, my makeup was dark and I had black hair for a long time.
But I sang a chorus song that I practiced at school for singing test.
Do you know it?
I sang it.
What is it?
"Summer Day's Gift" chorus song.
I sang it.
I don't think there are many idols who sing chorus songs in auditions.
I don't think there are many people who sing chorus songs in auditions.
I sang Maeda's "Flower" in September.
But Akino-sensei stopped me before the chorus.
Did you sing it until the chorus?
No, I sang it in the middle of the chorus.
I was stopped by Akino-sensei in September.
When I realized I had fallen, I realized it was good.
I practiced a lot of karaoke.
I think I was really bad at it.
I think it's all about motivation and confidence.
Confidence is important.
Do you want me to ask you one last question?
That's nice.
This is what I personally want to ask you.
Did you have a favorite member of AKB right now?
Favorite member...
I found it.
Who is it?
It's that girl.
Jurokisei.
Taguchi-chan.
Oh, not yet.
I often watch Mii-chan's concert videos.
At that time, I thought, "This girl is really cute."
She's cute.
She's cute and she can talk a lot.
Oh, I see.
I saw her on programs like "Nemons".
Wow!
She's also good at singing and dancing.
She can do anything.
She's cute.
That's why I like her.
I'm happy.
I'm proud of you.
I got a comment saying, "I want you to get together for the 14th anniversary next year."
How is it?
It's all up to you.
There are six members of the 14th generation.
There are only seven active members now, but on July 14th of next year, everyone will make their debut and celebrate their 10th anniversary.
There are people born in July 9th and 14th, and it's important for everyone to make their debut.
So on that day, I want to do something like a 10th anniversary performance, but there are only seven of us, so I don't know how persuasive we can be.
But I want to do it around that time.
Six of you? About two hours?
Yeah, about two hours.
That's a lot of time!
I can only dance to "lucky".
I'm not good at dancing, so I can only dance to "lucky".
I can only dance to "lucky".
It's been 10 years since we met, isn't it amazing?
It's amazing.
You've been in the entertainment industry for about half of your life.
I'm 22 years old now, so I want to do it for about half of my growth.
But it's not easy for fans to do it for themselves unless they want to see it.
If you say you want to do it, it will be easier for you to do it.
Please do it!
Please look forward to it!
That's all for today.
Instagram is amazing!
That's right!
There are so many questions!
I couldn't answer all of them, but thank you for all the great questions!
Well, everyone, I'd like to do another question corner again!
Oh, it's not dry yet!
It's wet, isn't it?
It's like a bath.
Bye-bye!
