I sang and danced once in the musical for my début work “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon”, was blank for the 10 years since, and at the time the worst at it out of the five (笑), so I was greatly aware that I’m not good at singing and dancing during the lessons, but the coaches responsible for Momoclo were really courteous and kind in teaching me allowing me to enjoy it. It was also a great help that the members of Momoclo accepted this beginner and cheerfully advised me.

As for the outfit, absurd as though it was, when I put it on for the first fitting, as I wasn’t otherwise bothered, I grumbled when I changed that the choker moved a little too easily and had to be 1 cm smaller to keep it from shifting, and that the boots didn’t quite fit so I couldn’t fight in them unless they were 5 mm smaller, and then I came to my senses, “Eh… this isn’t Sailor Moon.”

It’s like I have no resistance to the outfit at all, strangely enough.
I unconsciously think, “Hey, I’m a Guardian”, when I wear that kind of costume. (笑)

I appreciated my fellow Guardians once again while we were filming,
because while in formation with Momoclo I had this delusion that Sawai-san, Rika, Komacchan, and Mew were around me, and I thought, “Dancing in the centre or forming up is pretty hard. Sawai-san, you sure were amazing”. That I only still use a honorific with Sawai-san must be because I’ve always had this respect towards this “middle position”.

I keep talking about Sailor Moon, but when I watched Momoclo it was as if I watched the true friendship we had 10 years ago and I keenly felt with nostalgia how nice it was to be young.
