■How did you feel after finishing the stage?

I had made a live appearance at TGC 13 years ago, but this was my first time walking down the runway. I was very nervous, especially since I was wearing a dress. However, as I was a guest at the SBC Shonan Beauty Clinic SPECIAL BEAUTY STAGE, I was able to undergo skin iontophoresis treatment and a facial slimming massage before the actual event, which allowed me to walk with confidence.
I think TGC is a place where people who are highly motivated about trendy fashion and beauty come together. I personally love cosmetics and fashion, so it was fun to be able to share such a wonderful space with everyone.

■About job satisfaction

As I walked down the runway, I spotted someone holding a fan with my name on it. There are many cast members appearing at TGC, but I was very happy to realize that there were people there who were supporting me.
I've been active in AKB48 for 16 years, and now I'm in the position of the most senior. As many of the members are middle and high school students, I consult with them and sometimes even give them guidance. When I do so, I try not to share too much about my experiences or advice. Regardless of age, I try to see things from the same perspective as fellow members, and when there's something I don't understand, I put aside my pride and ask my juniors, so as not to let the relationship become too "senior and junior." I find it rewarding to work towards the same goal with a wide range of members.

■ Future dreams and goals

Our goal as a group is not just to be known as a group, but also to have people know the names and personalities of each of our members.AKB48The unit that debuted fromUNLAME" experienced their first stage performance at this year's TGC. I hope to be able to create a place where they can perform with peace of mind in the future.
And as an individual, I want to work hard on my own brand,upink" I love cosmetics, so I often posted cosmetics-related videos on YouTube, but I've finally been able to launch my own cosmetics brand. I want to share my idea of ​​"cute" with everyone, and do my best to make sure that the cosmetics I create reach as many people as possible.

■Message to students

I've been active as an AKB48 member since junior high school, and I still feel like I should have enjoyed the things I could only do while I was a student. I've never been to a school festival or a school trip. I think many people take school events for granted and don't realize how irreplaceable they are. I hope that all students will make the most of the things that are right in front of them now, the things they can only do now.
