■Legend Interview
◇Hono-chan♡ (8 years old)

I was a little nervous on this "Student Runway" but it was fun. I especially enjoyed walking with a smile. I worked hard to come up with cute poses so that I could get a high vote.
I have two dreams for the future. The first is to become a nurse who can help injured people, and the second is to become a cute idol. Thank you to all my fans for your support.


◇Seanne (11 years old)
I was very nervous before walking down the runway this time, but once I did, it was so much fun. There were so many people, I couldn't find my mom or friends from the stage.
I'm not good at smiling, so I practiced smiling in the mirror a lot in preparation for this. My dream is to become an idol, actress, or influencer in the future. To achieve this, I'm working hard on posting on TikTok and Instagram. The people I admire are "NiziU" and "Nene Tokita." To my fans, thank you for your continued support. I look forward to your continued support.



◇Fukuoka Claire (12 years old)

I was nervous, but it was so much fun to walk the runway. Everyone was filming me, which made me really happy. In preparation for this appearance, I worked hard on taking care of my skin. I especially made sure to use a face mask after my bath and apply moisturizing cream. In the future, I would like to be able to stand on stage with the models I admire. One person I admire is Hosokawa Aisa, who appeared in "Kyou, Suki ni Narimashita." In order to achieve my future dream, I am always conscious of improving my posture so that I don't slouch.
I'm grateful to everyone who has always supported me. I hope you'll continue to see me grow.


◇Yuzuna (13 years old)
I was nervous walking down the runway this time, but I was able to enjoy it because there were people waving at me and taking pictures of me. The view from the stage was dazzling at first, but when I reached the top I was happy to see so many smiling faces. In preparation for this competition, I put on my shoes and practiced in my room every day after school and club activities.
In the future, I want to become an influencer or idol. People I admire are Mini Nijiba from iLiFE! and Hoshino Aiba, who appeared in Suki ni Narimashita. To make my dream come true, I am currently working hard to post once a week on Instagram and daily on TikTok. I am able to work hard every day thanks to my fans' constant support. I hope you will continue to watch me grow.



◇Chino Kuroda (15 years old)

I had a great time walking the runway this time and had no regrets. I could see a lot of the audience from the stage and many people called out my name. I was particularly conscious of fashion when competing this time. The theme of my costume was Curly Girl, and I wore two belts and layered them, which is a recent trend.
My dream for the future is to become an actress. My favorite actress is Haru, who also appeared in a morning drama. I would also like to become number one in the country in Taekwondo. I only started two months ago, but my teacher encouraged me by saying, "You'll be able to go to the national tournament soon," so I am aiming for that goal. However, I am currently taking exams, so I am refraining from participating in activities. Thank you to everyone who came to the event and to those who watched the live stream, as you always support me. I hope you will continue to support me.
