When I was in the 5th grade of elementary school, I was able to grow physically and mentally
I was born earlier than my due date, in the presence of my father. I was a very dangerous child, falling out of my cot and putting my face on the fence.
As a child, I loved picture books and would listen to the same book over and over again and memorise it. My father and I also liked to go cycling together. My father and mother are both tall, and my younger brother, who's five years younger than me, will soon surpass me in height, so I'm the only small one in the family. I have a lot of likes and dislikes about food, and I didn't drink any milk when I was a baby, so I wonder if that has affected my height... ?
It may be hard to imagine it - because of who I am now - but when I was a child I was shy and had difficulty expressing my own opinions. That changed dramatically when I was in the 5th grade. My homeroom teacher at the time was very passionate and funny, making puns in class. I envied them for being able to laugh no matter how many puns they made.
I wanted to be cheerful too, so I started to speak up myself, just like I do now. I grew 5 cm taller at that time, to 150 cm.
In kindergarten, I took jazz dance lessons, piano lessons in the 1st grade of primary school and started playing the guitar in the 6th grade, under the influence of my homeroom teacher. In junior high school I was in the brass band and I always liked music and dance, but I had little interest in playing the guitar.
However, when I was in the 6th grade of primary school, I stumbled across Morning Musume。's '"Souda! We're ALIVE" MV. The moment I saw Takahashi Ai-san, I was instantly fascinated by her and thought, "How cute!". At the time, I liked Maki Ooguro and the Carpenters because of my parents' influence, so I think it was fate that I came across this song. I decided to audition when I saw Morning Musume。was planning one. From there, I went from thinking that "I could just support Morning Musume。as a fan" to "I wanted to be a member of Morning Musume。too!".
I decided to apply for "Morning Musume。'16 Shinseiki Audition" on my own, but my parents thought I wouldn't get in, so I was just left to my own devices. I had some experience of dancing, but I wasn't very good at singing so I wasn't confident. But I decided to give it as much as I could! I took on the challenge. From there, I was accepted into the Hello Pro Kenshuusei and within three months, I was selected to join Morning Musume。 as a member of the 13th generation.
It's been two years since I joined the group and I'm gradually getting used to the group activities and now I want to be able to go forward as an individual as well. I am the type of person who pursues what she loves to the end, so I want to use that as a weapon and connect it to my various activities!
