Introducing yourself is your real weakness~ (Laughs).

>That’s right, though I can introduce myself pretty fast at school or something like this! Before this I thought “How about coming late”, I thought about this up to a point, when I’ve decided that ‘I won’t do it this time’ and so I came here on time. Though there are times, when I come late. (Laughs).

But in Berryz Koubou, you’re really working hard, overcoming lots of difficulties, which can be evidence of your seriousness, right?

>Well since this work is extremely fun, whichever hardship comes in my way, it doesn’t really matter. Though I have really weak will to do something I don’t like. (Laughs). Since I don’t have enough strength, I thought I wanted to do sit-ups or something. Well at least I started to do it…….

But it didn’t last.

>“At first, when my muscles started to ache I lost my spirits. I had a feeling that ‘I’m working this hard’ (laughs). But as my muscles stopped aching and I lost this feeling, then bam I stopped doing it. I thought my stomach would explode… That’s why this year’s autumn is, so to say, sports autumn, like I-want-to-do-sit-ups-autumn.

Sounds good~ (Laughs). Though you said that this job is inevitably fun, can you tell us when you’re working to the max?

>It’s of course live events or concerts! When I sing cheerful and bright songs, I can say that this is real original me there at these times, at such times, I, so to say, am in my utmost myselfness there. Live events, are really places, where I can reaffirm my own objective point of growth.
