Also, talk about the new single “ Ishi ” which will release on April 10, and taught about the episode when she is puzzled choosen as the Senbatsu Member
~ When recall the memories, Everyone is crying during the recording for the Music Video ~
Q: The 12th single “ Ishi” is likely to be so important single for HKT48 right ?
Mio : First of all, Its about my personal story, I am really surprised when was informed that i was selected as part of Senbatsu member for 12th single.
Because at that time, I am not expect to be selected as Senbatsu member, on the previous single i was out of Senbatsu since i got injury, this time also i am still cannot fully dance,so i thought that impossible for me to selected as Senbatsu member.
When they informed me about being part of Senbatsu member, Me like " Is really okay for me to get choosen?“
Q: This is the last single for Sashihara-san which already announce graduation,
Mio : However, I am who’s that still cannot dance but still be part of Senbatsu member is likely make a trouble for everyone.So as the result for thinking about it too much, I told Staff and Sashihara-san directly by said ” Is that would be better if I was not part of it “
And then, they give me a warm words such as ” Please lending me your power “, I am very happy, that even with my condition which cannot dance like this, everyone still needs me. So i change my mind and thought that I will doing my best with what i can do.
Q: Also, How about the recording ?
Mio : When i first heard it, I thought it was my first time listen such a song. Until now, It was like not so HKT48, there were many pretty and lively songs, This time reflected with the tittle ” Ishi / Will “,
So its feel so heavy about this song,The song itself gonna be a fast tempo, but it’s very powerful because it has full of messages in it.
I felt that the feelling from Akimoto-sensei is spelled out for Sasshihara-san and HKT48
The coupling song tittled ” Itsu datte soba ni iru" gonna be Sashihara-san graduation song, but this time it was sung by all of members of HKT48. When take a shot for the Music Video, during the lipsyinc scene, everyone is crying.
Q: For HKT48, Sasshihara-san is such an big pressence, Do you have any special episode with her ?
Mio : Talking about memories, on the early days when she took me around for greetings, That i was able to letting people know about me as an Idol. I am really thankfull for Sashihara-san, such an kind senior. So, If we play this song at the concert, i must be crying instantly.
~Into the New world Jumped to see the Idols World~
Q: From here, I would like to ask about your work, do you have a part-time job experience?
Mio : Since i have doing this from 2nd Junior High school, So I have no experience about part time job, but if i had chance to do it, since i love Melonpan, i would like to work as an bakery ( lol )
Q: Thankyou verymuch ( lol ), Then, Please tell me the time when you wanted become an Idol
Mio : I am really admire Shinoda Mariko from AKB48 when im applied for an audition,But at first i had no sense of work and wanted to see the world outside the school then applied for it, Since im lucky enough “ Lets work and make a Job”, from that time, “ Its like I found the new me” that was what i feel.
~ I was able to find myself who hate to lose~
Q: The environment is quite different with the school life , isn’t it?
Mio: It was totally different, I remember felt like “I’ve entered the adult world”. The lesson time was so hard that i thought “I didnt doing it quite well” that when i thought about it now it feels so tired,at first when i was interested on it, when finished the lesson and going home, i thought, “ If you stop here, You Lose ”
Q: Was there any event about work when you felt that way ?
Mio: I think that was lot of it, Because we all come together as HKT48 2nd Generation that dont want to lose or always doing their best. In the end there’s a fight with myself, but i think it would not last if it were alone. The goal was to secure our position,so the dont want to lose feel is comes because i had a fellow member which would compete together towards it ( lol )
Looking back it now, I think it was good to have a tough lesson that time
~Because there’s someone who support me,that circumstance has changed myself~
Q: So, While doing the Idol activity, When did you recognize that has changed yourself?
Mio : What has come to my mind is the moment when Sousenkyo and meeting fans at the Handshake Event, i felt like an Idol because i felt that there are fans who always support me.
For example, In the handshake event, fans come to meet me, because its impossible on the normal situation, So i always want to showing my best by sing and my performances, and i would like to express my appreciation in words directly when i have an opportunity by meet them at the handshake event.
Q: Your relation was changed by those who support you right.
Mio : Yes, but at the begining, because im so shy, there’s time that it didnt doing so well……。I am still nervous when talk with someone that first time i saw, but its also little by litlle changing and the environment has changed myself.
Q: How is it changing?
Mio : Even until now, i had to create a wall, but, “ I will go ahead step by one step ”. Even if you can’t get it right away, you can often overcome it or get it by yourself, If you don’t start, it won’t change.
Q: Its important to keep trying do your best anytime with positive feeling right
That’s right,
Mio : Also, For me its a big thing that Sashihara-san came to HKT48. Seeing how the methods for MC and how natural senior doing handshake event with fans, by “ Thankyou for always be here” there were many things to see and learn from the Seniors.
Q: Becoming an Idol, Mio-san life has changed a lot right.
Mio : I think I have spent a very deep year, By jumping into the new world, there’s also full of lost and hesitation, but at that time i think it was good to be auditioned and join this group.
Q: Until now, you have been posting lot of videos as an idols, are you gonna expand your opportunities, what’s your future goal ?
Mio : I’ve hurting my leg,so i can’t do my daily activities like before, at that time i am starting to posting a video, I am totally self-taught about editing, People who watch the video also giving an advice,at first i made a video for showing my favorite fashion and cosmetics,but now has created a new tools for communicated with the fans.
By entering this group, I was able to meet members and fans who’s changed myself. I am also learned to start posting a video , There are still many things that i think stil not confident about, but i would like to step ahead with a courage.
