1. Your favourite food and food you dislike?
I really love Yakiniku and hamburgers! What I dislike are marine products and aubergines.

2. Your favourite fashion?
I like black and white, so I often wear a monotone style. My taste depends on my mood.

3. Please tell us your charm point!
Lately, I was complimented on my dimples that I only have on the right side (laughs). The fans have pointed this out. Also, I have a pouty mouth/duck face like my father.

4. Your strengths and weaknesses?
I can see things from an outsider perspective, so my strength is my calm side. But my weakness is that I end up building walls towards people because of my anxiety towards strangers.

5. Your favourite phrase?
I like something that my friend told me.
“The best time to start is when you think it’s too late”
It means that you only live once and it’s never too late to do something.

6. Is there something you dislike?
When I was in elementary school I dreamed that bugs turned big while humans became small and since then I really dislike all kinds of bugs!
7. Your recent boom?
Studying! In order to study acting, I watched dramas and movies, and I got into the studies to create music. Also, I’m a photo freak, so I always liked taking selfies or pictures of the scenery.

Shiroiwa-kun wanted to say that “I like vegetables, but I dislike aubergines, but he mixed up the “ya” of vegetables (yasai) and the “su” of aubergine (nasu) and ended up saying “Yasu”. Him being embarrassed about his slip was too cute 🤍

8. Your recent emotions? (喜怒哀驚 -> happiness, anger, sadness and surprise)
Something happy: I changed to a new smartphone model!
Something angry: I got angry at myself for not being able to do something well when I studied.
Something sad: Something I ordered online wasn’t delivered and it’s not available anymore…
Something surprising: So far I always took medicine with cola, but I was surprised to find out that’s not good!

9. What was your dream as an elementary student?
A soccer player! I played soccer 7 times a week as an elementary school student. I continued a daily life of being absorbed into soccer until my 3rd year of middle school.

10. A JO1 song you want elementary school students to listen to?
A song I want them to listen to after waking up early in the morning or during lunch break is “Run&Go”. It has a cute melody and gives you energy so I really recommend it. Also, I recommend “Dreaming Night”. You will surely have sweet dreams if you listen to it before sleeping at night!

11. How would you describe the group JO1 in short?
An innocent and mischievous group! Everyone, including me, doesn't forget their child-like heart besides being an adult and after all we are big idiots (laughs). Because even now, we love playing tag ♡

12. What do you think about your first time acting in “Short Program”?
It was my first time acting, so the detailed gestures and expressing myself just with my eyes was more difficult than I expected. Also, we shot the same scene at least 5 times, but it was hard to be aware of the connections. But after finishing it, the motivation to try acting again was born!

13. Tell us a secret episode from the drama filming!
My episode was shot in the middle of the summer and the temperature was more than 30C! Then, there was a scene when I had to run up a hill with all my might (laughs). Going down the stairs, going down the hill, going up the hill, going up the stairs… I was so exhausted doing this! 14. What is your frank opinion of the movie “JO1 THE MOVIE ‘Mikansei’”?
To be honest, my desire to show perfect things to the audience and fans is strong, so I’m actually not good with documentaries and being closely followed. So far there was also fear regarding showing the other side, but when I saw the finished work, it was really good, so I hope you will watch it.

15. A message for the readers of Nico⭐️Puchi♡
I touched the topic a bit already when I was asked what my favourite phrase is, but you only live once, so please do what you want until you are happy with those. Your current efforts are absolutely connected to the future, so please do your best without giving up! Also, I think it would be romantic if I could meet everyone who has seen this somewhere in the future 🤍
