when I look back at myself from long ago, sometimes I would think 'that was kawaii'. So that is why, even though things that I cannot do has increased,I don't think i have changed much from the past. but now ,the feeling of being embarassed. when small, you can do many things without feeling ashamed right. When I progressed in the school years,there are thoughts about 'I want to let the juniors say this', and wanting to entrust them more. Kikuchi: During those days I felt that I could freely say what I want. but that was also quite a frantic thing I think. At interviews, you were able to give fantastic comments. Q: 'MoaYui' is small, but they are able girls, was the impression of both of you at that time. it meant to motivate), Yui from there onwards, also did her best to follow through without dragging her feet. they transmitted burning feelings towards the festival to us(literal translation. Mizuno: Ayami chan and Ayaka chan extended the lessons for us. Moreover, we were watched by many people.Since we had only appeared before on TIF stage, I did not expect that people would gather for our live.

it was then, during those periods where our bonds tightened. Being noutenki (frivolous and simplistic)I also did not try to rush into things (Lol).But, during the lessons towards the festival, everyone had cried etc. Kikuchi: moa (until joined sakura gakuin) totally could not dance, and also never sang before, so at firstI didn't know what I should start working on.

After it was all over, all I had was memories of how much fun I had! Mizuno: Hello Ivy, School days and others were added, including various things like club activities and a play, it was very hectic. Q: how was the first independent performance (Sakura Gakuin festival 2010)? though I was small, I understood how blessed I was and thought a lot about how well we can deliver the performance of that 1 song. Even though Sakura Gakuin had only 1 song, I was very happy that we were allowed to performon the main stage. I went out with my hair rubberband tied around my hand, which was really embarassing. Kikuchi: Moa was also overly nervous at the first stage event. I remember vividly the words 'at the end, let's display the flags perfectly!' and about how much we practised before the performance. At that time, we only had Yume ni Mukatte,so with this 1 song, I focused on pouring my efforts into how well I can perform this song to the audience. I was dokidoki(nervous/anxious) while only doing that, I have lots of memories of the 10 of us being complete on that stage. But I understood that I needed to continue smiling.

Mizuno: At that time I was gachigachi (tense and stiff), and when standing on stange my face and muscles were bikubiku (shaking with nervousness). Q: how was the first stage performance? (Tokyo Idol Festival 2010)? Q: that is how the 'YuiMoa' combination came to be. Mizuno: I don't know since when, Moa was always next to me.

Mizuno: Yui also wants to quickly enter Sakura Gakuin and join in the activities, but if I can be together with my admired Ayami-chan and Suu-chan, that alone made me satisfied. Well,since the feeling of 'it will be good if I can enjoy doing it' was greater, and that we were the first generation of transfer students, now I feel glad about it. But, the 8 members other than Yui and Moa were announced first. Since we practised together as fellow peers, I thought that we could start together. Kikuchi: When I first heard of that, I thought ' I dislike/disagree being a transfer student.'. with the 4 girls who graduated last year. Q: Kikuchi san and Mizuno san, although it was announced only in Aug 2010 that you will be transfer students, you were already attending lessons together with the other Sakura Gakuin members after the school's opening in April right. Note: Some of this is a direct rough translation, so it will not be in grammatically correct, beautiful English. 'Though separated, our hearts are as one'Įvents will be discussed in chronological order. Interview Kikuchi Moa, Mizuno Yui, Taguchi Hana, Notsu Yunano
