Debut☆



It's been 6 years since I won the HoriPro Scout Caravan and debuted in the movie "My Grandpa" the next year.

During my student days I had various works to do and it was difficult manage both, work and studying at the same time. I was still a teenager, but I was surrounded full of adults at that time. They got angry at me, they praised me and they encouraged me... The kind words of the people around me always helped me a lot.

One thing especially remained in my memories...
"It was really a good thing that your parents raised you very strictly. When I look at you, I think that you will become a wonderful mother someday."

Somehow I've never been happier or more touched than after those words.
I think as child I already felt that it is all thanks to my parents, that I am able to live such an healthy, positive and fun life. For people to see me as such a wonderful person, it is me who should be the most happiest and thankful person more than anyone else.

And now I'm 22,
the age difference between me and the people at work shrunk and we are able to talk about various things while having a drink.

There is nothing like a perfect adult.
However, I encounter more various experiences and feelings year after year more than most of the other people.

Respecting people from the bottom of my heart
Appreciating everyone's individuality
Being able to understand the worries of others

I think the difference between a child and an adult is that
you start to become aware of all those small unconscious things.
You are no adult unless you are able to realize those things.

I don't think that I'm already an adult myself,
but those words from earlier and people's gestures make me believe that I'm on the right way.

That was a long text just now, although I already left some things out,
but I looked back at the interview about my debut I've done for the monthly magazine "De-View" and I just had to write down all those things that came to my mind. (>_<) "De-View" has a nice article about me, so please try to find some time to read it ☆ In this picture

I'm together with sixth grader Takara Hikari who won last year's TSC (talent scout caravan).
She's extremely cute...
Her voice and her behavior! Not to mention her sparkling smile...

I privately went to inspect Hikari-chan after she won the first place.
For some reason my manager and me cried when she won (*bitter smile*)
Somehow just seeing her putting in all her effort touched me a lot.
Just don't be satisfied with what you already achieved, stay down-to-earth and keep on challenging yourself, Hikari-chan. (*^_^*)

No matter how many years will pass, never forget the feeling you had during your debut and keep on remembering it at times like today.

Alright!
I'll do my best today as well!!
