What was your favorite song?
AKB48's song?
The song called River, which was sung by Kohaku Utagasen.
That's how I got to know idols.
I made a music video for River.
Is that so?
I liked it the most.
I think it was difficult at that time.
It looks difficult.
But I like it.
It's unusual, isn't it?
Really?
But that's also a cool song, isn't it?
So I think it started from there.
To be honest, everything was too fast.
I didn't have time to be impatient.
At that time, I had a lot of work to do one after another.
I was asked to release a single.
I was asked to do a drama.
I was asked to go to a festival.
I had no choice but to face it with everyone.
There are a lot of people who pay attention to me, but there are also parts that I couldn't meet their expectations.
There are performances and so on.
Well, our...
I don't know if we were able to run at a good speed or not.
Was it too fast?
I was very grateful for the environment, but...
When I look at Mr. Nogizaka,
he was really sweet compared to that.
That's what I'm thinking right now.
I really didn't have time until the 4th single.
I was finally able to see it.
I was finally able to think about the group.
I think it was from the 5th single.
Until the chorus?
That's right.
From the 3rd single,
to the 4th single, to the 5th single.
The members started to stand in the front.
It was my first time to stand in the 5th single.
All I could think about was standing in the front.
I couldn't think about the performance.
From the 5th single, I started to stand in the front.
In the 3rd and 4th singles, all the girls in the front stood out
I saw them growing up with each other
So I wanted to give them a chance
How did you feel when you first saw them?
They really have changed
The way they put their feelings into their performances has changed
Up until now, it was something that they had to leave to the members
I always think that I have to stand in the front and deliver that song
on the stage.
That's why I became aware of the camera
in the singing program.
I think it was a chance to review my activities from the beginning.
Without that experience,
to be honest,
I feel like I've been left behind if I hadn't had that experience.
I think that's why I started to hate this activity.
That's why I'm here now.
I've changed my attitude towards live performances.
I've become more determined to deliver my work.
Do you want to go back to that position?
I'm still not confident.
I'm really worried.
Do you mean that you're moving forward as an artist?
Yes.
I'm not sure what to say.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to meet him or not, so I'm not confident.
So you're talking about the future?
Yes, the future.
At that time, I received a message from Hirate one by one.
At that time, I was told,
I'm sorry.
I was told, I'm sorry for being like this.
That word...
I've been thinking about it all this time.
But...
How should I put this?
I wanted to be as cheerful as possible at the end.
I have the personality of Kochi Hoshi on the radio.
I told her, I'll do my best.
She told me to do my best.
That's what I thought.
I was determined to do my best at that time.
She is really cute.
It's like I'm looking at myself when I was a beginner.
When I was a junior high school student, I rarely went to club activities.
I didn't have any juniors, so I wanted to take care of them because they were my first juniors.
As for TEN, he is the member that I talk to a lot since we were in the first year of the group.
When we were in the first year of the group, he was a very energetic person.
He used to say that he would lead us to the top.
But now, I'm not that bright.
When I look at it from a fan's point of view,
I sometimes feel like I don't want to do it.
I'm worried about my real self.
I feel like I don't fit in with my real self.
That's what I was thinking when I was shooting.
It was exactly the same as when I first started.
That's what I was thinking when I was shooting.
At that time,
I couldn't find the right answer.
If I had stayed as I am now...
I would have said, I think it's a good idea, and I would have stayed as I am.
But recently, I've grown up in a good way.
I think I've been getting better at dancing.
You're a strong person.
You're strong. You don't bend. You have your own opinion.
When it's different, it's different.
I really respect that.
The timing when the second generation came in
There are members who graduate
To be honest, I thought it was difficult to do it with only the first generation
I'm very grateful that they came in
I thought you were younger than me, but you were younger than me
Matsuda and Tamura
I'm a little frustrated, but I think it's because the second generation is like that
I don't know, it makes me feel old
On the other hand, I feel like I'm on fire, so I think it's completely different when I'm with or without Niki.
Yes, but this year, I think that if we don't put our individual efforts into it,
I don't think anything will change.
Each of us has our own characteristics.
I think it would be great if this year would be more clear.
Thank you very much.
