“Everyone”
Thank you for always supporting me.
I chose to announce it via the blog because I wanted to compile my thoughts into a text.
The more I thought about it, the stronger my feelings towards the group became. The more I thought about it, I questioned the meaning of life. The more I thought about it, I just became more and more confused.
- “Singing. Dancing. I want to continue doing stuff like that.” And they told me: It made me happy.
“I’ll look after my dreams inside the group;” “Everyone walks their own path in life” It’s hard for me to grasp.
Thinking about the group, about its future, also influenced the way I think regarding myself. I didn’t come this far for nothing. I’m kept moving forward because I wanted to. That dream that we were all chasing, wouldn’t it be possible if it’s with ANGERME? I held on to these expectations. The ANGERME I’m trying to create is but an idealization of my personal desires. But being able to take a hold of me to this extent Furthermore, the members of ANGERME are also part of what’s kept leading me astray.
I’ve already gotten my share of life lessons from this. From here on out it’s better for them to step forward and express their own opinions and desires, and I really hope they feel that way too. It’s when all ANGERME’s original members are gone, that ANGERME will truly begin.
No matter what people might say, I’m ready to continue on as an idol. I dislike the idea that the label “Idol” has to follow some pre-determined set of conventions. I want to become someone who surpasses those; I want to show the world an idol can be so much more. That way, I can say that from here on out is the real beginning. I’m excited to discover my own expression. But more than anything, I want to continue being a girl who can provide people with courage, and lift them up no matter what kind of troubles might be weighing on their mind. I hope my future activities would come to be beneficial for Hello! Project as well. Hello! Project who reached its twentieth anniversary this year; It’d be nice if it’d continue this trend from now on as well.
It’s only one more year, but I’ll doing my utmost to present to you the best group there ever was, so I’d be happy if you’d continue to look after us. Thank you for your continued support.
