Too Much Idea

toyama: so before the kougen (in 4ki live), didn't you cry a bit...? konomin: ah, this feels embarrassing... but yeah, that happened... Toyama: what were you feeling that the time? konomin: i'm the center of the song, and there are parts of the lyrics that i can sympathize with, it's like... there was another me who is not an idol there. that moment was... it's difficult to express, but i can be free? like, i can express what i feel within, and suddenly... it started flowing. it wasn't something that i planned. on d1 i teared up a bit, and the stage director also pointed it out with "that's amazing". but yeah it wasn't something that i planned, but with how the stage production went, i suppose it ended up being something impressive sarina: and you are just in your first year, right? first year is when one is still overwhelmed by everything, such as your position in the songs or thinking on what song is to perform next, so to be able to immerse your...

theme is usagi neko acting as angel and demon reacting to listeners mail, with itoha deciding whose opinion she agrees with shizu: before we start, may i say something? at the opening talk, you said that there is a huge expectation for this episode, i could feel it too... but if this episode ended up being a flop, i will think of it as caused by boring mails sent by the listeners yu: but of course! we are thankful that you sent those mails to us! mail sender apologizing for pulling prank on their uni friend, by deliberately messing password and locking the friend out of their phone whenever the friend takes a nap in class angel yu: as long as you apologize for it already, everything is all right demon shizu: once is funny, twice is boring. once might indeed be funny to see how they would react, but doing it so many times is just being annoying angel yu: can't they reflect on it now? demon shizu: if they are reflecting on it already, then no need to bring police into this angel yu: ...

 Source TMI Note: I skipped Lonesome rabbit part (Because it's similar to what members talked about in other interview before) and summarized a few questions. --- Q About What’s Kazoku Taniguchi: It’s the next 2nd-3rd gen following “Addiction”, and as the 4th generation joined last year, we put even more heart into this song while getting inspired by the senior members. Kira: Filming for MV can be difficult at times, but when I look back at the completed work later, the time I spent with the members in-between takes would often make for fun memories. It’s rare for us to be able to film with such a large group, and the more members there are the more fun it becomes, so I was happy to have been able to film with all 2nd-3rd gen members. Q Riko-centered “Coin Laundry” Kira: Riko-chan is truly a hardworker, she always checks her choreography while looking at the mirror, she still practices even when told it’s okay for her to take a break. Seeing that, the 4th generation members also pr...

 nagi: in the preview, it's mentioned that it will talk about my late night activities. just so it happened, i had a sleepover at matono mio's place just last night! though i am a regular, there are other members who also usually sleep over at her place. this time the members were me, mio, Nakashima yuzuki and murai yu-chan. murai had a job in early morning, and since she doesn't really play games, she slept first. then after that, matono, Nakashima, Kojima played Minecraft together until quite morning. we were planning to pull an all-nighter, but we still slept. murai slept alone, Nakashima - Kojima on a different futon, and for some reason the home owner-- matono, slept on sofa instead. she's so kind!! we told her to sleep (on the futon), but she's so kind and ended up sleeping on the sofa. you might think it must be tough for me and Nakashima to sleep together on a single futon, when we are both already over 20 yo, but we both felt like students. we both slept so...

 nagi: i heard that today is your last day in sakurazaka? GAWD I'M GONNA MISS YOU... chuke: i'm very happy that my last appearance is going to be kochi Hoshi! nagi: this is recorded right after her graduation ceremony. what did you do after that? i'm sure you must have felt free chuke: i ate the largest cake in my 24 years of life. it was like as big as three fists. my mom and the others came to watch, and when i sent them off in Tokyo station, they found this huge cake. and they were like, i should eat it since i have been holding back for diet nagi: seriously, you looked so pretty when wearing your dress! you were a princess airi: i have always wanted to be the princess that i admire, and when i asked for it, they made it as i wanted. for my grad ceremony, a lot of members came to watch. our seniors, genmates, my parents, and there were many of my relatives as well. before the ceremony started, when we were still doing the main show, i found my dad during the last song. i...

 SRC Q You two are from the 2nd and 3rd gen of the group. Please tell us how you became friends? Kira: It happened when Airi-chan joined Sakurazaka46’s variety show, “SakuraMeets”, that I am a part of. As we have more opportunities for a deep one-on-one talk, I’ve come to enjoy the time we spend together even more. Now we are really close friends. Airi: I’m happy to hear you say so (laughs). Q If there are any memorable stories from making the show together, please tell us. Kira: In “SakuraMeets” event, we once performed an original drama that I wrote the script of. I wanted Airi-chan who just joined to stand out, so I gave her a challenging role with long lines. The lines were difficult to remember because it has deliberate repetition of words, but she acted it out in the exact way that I envisioned, which made me trust her immensely (laughs) Q I would also like to hear what Taniguchi-san felt when you challenged those long lines. Airi: I was certainly surprised when I received a ...
