Too Much Idea

 https://mdpr.jp/interview/detail/4740897 Q What kind of song is “Dried fruits”? Takemoto: When I first heard it, I thought that it’s such a stylish song. There is the “girly” feeling that can only bring out having us, women, singing it; it is cute but also sexy. I thought that we received a song that has both a mature and a cute feeling. I’d be happy if people could enjoy not just the music, but the lyrics as well.  Q The center is 3ki’s Murayama Miu-san, but what kind of person is she for Takemoto-san? Takemoto: I see Murayama as someone who can get things done when she has to. I always got the impression that she’s the reliable kind of person who can make decisive decisions when she has to, so I wasn’t worried at all. When Murayama looked anxious, I relayed to her, “You will definitely pull it off, so don’t worry” Q Please tell us memorable stories from the MV filming Takemoto: We were split into three teams for the filming, so the group dance scene was relatively short and...

I understand that this single will be an important one, and feel pressured from it,” so she said honestly. Toward the concert, she said, “I am sure that we will shine the brightest if we can perform this song at the National Stadium while thinking of how much we have worked hard as Sakurazaka46 until now. I hope that it’s not just us, but that our fans could also listen to this song while thinking about their memories with us.” She also resonated with the messages carried within the lyrics. “There are lyrics in the second verse that goes ‘Life is wonderful, you made me realize’; I think that the members and all the people around me that I’ve met through my activities as a Sakurazaka46 member have made me realize it. Before I joined the group, there was a period of time where I didn’t know what to live for or the point of it, and ...

  mc Miyake ken (ex V6) ken: it's amazing that you girls are performing at national stadium, more over for two days. how are you two feeling? rei: we were able to perform a song there once, for a music show, and the scenery there... hono: it was amazing rei: it was so wide... it was a shock... but if the fans filled it in, with their penlights and all, i'm sure that it'll look even magical. i can't wait hono: it's a shock for us too. we felt worry and like at first, but now we are feeling excited and motivated to do our best ken: amazing, and it is all thanks to the fans hono: truly so ken: speaking of sakurazaka, the group is known for their "messy hair", but what do you think of it? hono: i got the impression that female idols tend to use lip gloss, and their lips looks cute, but in sakurazaka if you do that... because your hair will keep moving about, it will stick on your lips and just won't get off. so it's very rare for members to put lip glo...

  airi: if i were to describe my role in one word, it would be "decisiveness (決断)". this character makes a lot of decisive decisions, and i'd be happy if you could pay attention to that yu: i don't really wear something vintage like this (costume), so it's a new experience for me! what i like about this rock t-shirt is this American footballer-looking man reina: my character has a high twintail hair and bold make-up, which is something i do for the first time. in the story, my character is someone whose true intentions are hard to read and chilling, but when i was at school i was someone who put up a cool act, so this role feels quite right for me. when i looked back to it, i think she was easy to act mc: the other members seemed surprised too, but you were someone who put up a cool act? what do you mean exactly? reina: like doing... stuff that i think are cool... mc: everyone started to laugh itoha: the character i acted as is someone very cheerful and the heart ...

SOURCE Right after she learned that she was selected to join her first senbatsu, she said, “I felt happy, but my feeling of anxiety was great as well. As I had the opportunity to see the figure of my seniors from up close, I couldn’t help but to wonder if I possessed the necessary ability to join them there?” But her feelings gradually changed as they progressed through the production period, such as the MV filming. “This song is one that has a lot of smiling. In the MV there are scenes where I shared eye contact with seniors and we smiled together,” so she said happily. “The seniors welcomed me so warmly, and the Buddies gave me a lot of kind words. I received support from everyone around me, and I’ve become able to sincerely enjoy it. Now I feel more excited than I am anxious.” The newest title song greatly differs from the previous single with its refreshing melody, and she commented, “It’s completely different from all the title songs so far, and I think that it is a touch differen...
