AISubs
I've always liked idols since I was a kid.
I first got to know about the new Akimoto-san group from Nogizaka- san,
and that's how I started to like them.
Is there anything you want to do?
I was really into volleyball,
so I never thought I wanted to become an idol.
I've been watching them all this time.
I think it was in the middle of an audition.
There is a seminar called Osaka Road Coordination Audition.
I used to like idols.
I went to see them at a handshake event.
I'm from Osaka.
Nagizaka-san, Saito Asuka-san, Sakurai Reika-san and Yoda-san
came to Osaka for a seminar.
I went to see them.
There is a thing called a seed ticket, which means that the one-time screening will be held on the spot.
I happened to have a chance to see it, and I was able to think about it from there.
It's a great number of times, isn't it?
It was amazing.
Do you remember the number of times?
How many tens of times?
3400 times.
Do you remember the number of times you received it?
I don't remember at all.
It was 120,000 times.
9,182 people.
It's 130,000 people.
It's like a small area.
Amazing.
What should I do?
I've been accepted.
I've always admired the SAKAMICHI group.
I used to be like that, but now I'm more afraid of entering the group.
But you liked Keyakizaka the most, didn't you?
Yes, but I didn't have a favorite part.
I liked the whole group, but I wanted to join Keyakizaka if I could.
But why?
I don't know.
I've been asked this question a lot.
When I was asked where I wanted to go for my audition, I always said I wanted to go to Okiyaki- zaka.
But every time I was asked why, I didn't really know.
But I like Nogizaka-san, and I admire her.
I really like Hinata-san, but I want to go to Okiyaki-zaka.
But I don't really know the reason.
When I first heard that I would be performing a non- commercial song,
I thought it was going to be really hot.
I was really happy about that,
and I thought that the fans would be happy too.
But I wasn't really...
I wasn't really aware of the role of the one who says the lines, or the one who screams.
I just thought that it was Nel-sanpoji.
But the members told me that they didn't like me, and I realized that it was true.
I was worried from the very first day.
I didn't know what the right answer was.
I didn't know if I could really speak out in the actual performance.
It was scary.
I could feel that everyone was expecting a lot from me.
I was really scared that I would have to change that feeling.
There was a time when we talked a little.
At that time, I was ready to do anything.
,"Please talk to me."
,"You're thinking a lot, aren't you?"
,"You noticed me."
,"Yes..." I laughed.
,"If something happens, please say anything."
,"Please talk to me."
,"You said."
,"I've been talking to you all the time."
,"I've been in touch with you all the time."
,"I haven't been able to talk to you."
That's the kind of personality I have.
But one day before the Dome,
during the last rehearsal,
I thought to myself,
I don't know if I can really do it.
I was on my way home by bus,
trying not to get caught by anyone.
I don't think I got caught,
but I was hiding in the curtain,
and I couldn't stop crying.
And after I got home,
I called Hirate-san while crying.
He said, I don't know, I don't know if I can do it, I'm scared, and he said a lot of things like that, and then he said, I understand.
It wasn't like, I should do this, I should do that, or something like that.
I was very happy that he sympathized with me and was very close to me.
Q. How did you feel when you heard that you were going to perform at the Dome?
It's the same for all of us, but when I and the other 2nd graders were having a hard time,
especially at the Dome, I couldn't afford it at all.
At that time, even during the live performance, there was a slight gap in the choreography.
That's why I couldn't perform at the Dome.
He held my hand, hugged me, and looked at my face.
He didn't just care about me, but he also cared about the group and the 2nd generation.
I really respect him.
What kind of dance do you remember?
During the 2nd season, I was next to Ozeki-san.
There was a part where Ozeki-san held my hand.
There was a part where I was next to him, but it was close.
He held my hand and hugged me.
I was in the line of silent majority.
Shonri-san was behind me, but she hugged me.
Just before the chorus, Sugai- san always held my hand and said,
What? She said it with a very kind smile.
I think I have to do it.
As everyone says, you've put your whole life on the line for Keyakizaka
You've been thinking about the group and the music more than you've been thinking about yourself
I think it's because of that ー
I'm grateful for the group ー
but when we're in a state ー
I'm grateful for the group ー
ー I'm happy ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー
She said,
I'm done for the day.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to say that to Hono.
We've been together for a long time after Kouhaku.
Until then, I've been...
Thank you very much.
I didn't want to go back to the past
So I said to myself,
Let's do our best for the next year
But now that I think about it, nothing has changed
She held my hand tightly and hugged me
I think that's how it was
This is the first time you've worn this outfit, right?
Yes, this is the first time I've worn this outfit.
I don't think I'll ever wear this outfit again.
This is a uniform I wore when I was blown away by the wind.
When I was looking for something to wear,
I wondered what this would look like.
I don't mind changing my name, but I've always wanted to be in a group called Keyakizaka, and I've always liked it.
So at first, I didn't know what to think of it.
Do you have any resistance?
Well, it's not resistance, it's more like...
It's not resistance, it's more like...
I couldn't accept it right away.
I couldn't understand the truth.
That's what it's like.
What was the reason?
I like Keyakizaka, so that's the only reason.
I really like Keyakizaka.
I know that it's not going to change or change forever,
but I think that the current members, including those who graduated, are Keyakizaka.
To be honest, at that time, I was lonely that it would change.
Yes.
Keyakizaka Keyakizaka
I hope we can show our new colors in a good way.
I've seen a lot of good things that only Kiyakizaka had.
Thank you very much.
I want to keep improving myself.
I don't want to throw away my kyayakizaka-like personality.
I want to be in a group where I can show what only we have.
