During kindergarten I was someone really attention seeking. I was good at sports, so I was quite popular among students in my year. And I played the leading role of events. I wasn’t shy at all, thus I ended up talking to everyone. Whenever I stood in front of people like that, I kinda thought it would be nice to be able to work being cool like that. Looking at it realistically, I thought it was too hard (to realise), but if there was the chance ever, I wanted to challenge it. Before knowing about PRODUCE101JAPAN, I didn’t really listen to the K-POP genre nor to idols or artists. Since I was a student, I worked as a demolition worker. Yet I didn’t feel that it was the kind of work I wanted to do all my life, both physically and otherwise. Because I was confident in my athletic abilities, I wanted to aquire a skill that only I could do and in turn increase my own value. Thinking like this, I started to search for something. Back then, I was confused and worried about everything. And then, I came to know about PRODUCE101JAPAN.
I grew up in a single mother household, so it would have been better to work. But when I graduated from highschool, I asked my mom “Please let me challenge auditions for a year”. “Please wait one year. If my flower doesn’t bloom during this year, I will work.” My mom understood. Hence, I was risking this audition. Even after the program had started I had never been in the debut zone, so I said “It’s quite impossible. Once it’s over I’m gonna search for work.”
What my mother had pointed out during the audition is that I struggle in creating new personal relationships. My personality is careful and I consider myself as selfish sometimes. Even when I’m not causing trouble to others, there might be a part of me which thinks of me as selfish. I’m aware that I’m also at fault despite starting to think that it can’t be help since everyone grew up in a different environment.
If I’m troubled and hit a wall, I try to see the purity children have. I go to meet my niece and nephew. The words of my mother also encourage me. Since I was a child she told me a lot of things over and over. She told me that I shouldn’t become such an adult, and I should be careful what I might become. She was strict but kind. I want to give my best not to forget gratitude and to be considerate to others. If there is someone in trouble, I want to help them. Maybe that’s why I like people who are caring just like me.
I had no experience in singing and dancing, so after debuting with JO1, I started to memorize a lot of songs and choreographies in a short time and I had no clue what to do in the beginning. I’m still nervous to learn dances in a limited time span. During the audition I had 2 weeks or a month to learn those, but now I try my best to learn those in two days which is hard but that’s what a pro does.
In JO1 I’m not talking much and I have become a cool character, but actually I talk a lot. But it’s difficult to show that. If I suddenly started to talk, people might end up being surprised. I feel I have to see the member’s balance. I'm still not used to the talks in live broadcasts and programs, so I re-listen to the radios I have appeared in. I also properly take up the advices from my family who have watched those programs. I enjoy things such as shootings for magazines. I’m excited to work wearing clothes like a model. Also the bit of acting in the MV is fun. I would like to try modeling or acting if there is someone who thinks they need me for this.
I’m the black pepper in JO1. I want to be like a spice of which you add a bit and the flavor widens. It’s not good to add too much, but if you taste it once you will want more. I want people who like such an addictive feeling to look at me. The member who might be my polar opposite is Syoya. Syoya cares a lot for the things I don’t care about and also makes negative comments from time to time (laughs). That's exactly why Syoya is interesting. It’s often that Syoya makes me aware that he is thinking even about these things.
If I described myself as a color, it would be a clear sky blue. When I chose a color in the past, it was blue. When we chose the color of the toothbrushes in my family, I went with blue and my younger brother with green. What I like about myself is… my singing voice. Yes, my voice. Because my family and my fans tell me it’s good. In the past when I sang at karaoke, I used to really hate my voice. Even when I heard my talking voice, it didn’t feel right, but when my singing was played in the audition, the number of fans increased in an instant, right? When the fans told me “Your voice is great”, I started to like the my voice that I used to hate. I’m truly thankful to the fans (for this).
