Anai Chihiro: (translation) interview from UTB+ May 2014 vol.19
If we could go to better direction with mutual competitive spirit
It is your appearance since SashiTB serialization!
It was very fun! I rarely experienced solo photoshoots so I was really happy!! When I do gravure photoshoots with the other members, there are so many of them done with cheerful impression but it was one with unadorned sense today so it was easily done. Furthermore, it was on tatami!
Eh, is it important!?
I love tatami! I always sleep on tatami at home. I am glad that I was also able to challenge it wearing mature-looking swimsuits in a peaceful ambiance. Because I will become a university student soon!
A blooming female university student starting from the April… Still, having the childish impression is Anai-san’s appeal, isn’t it *laughs*. Although Anai-san is nicknamed “Ponkotsu Captain”, with the 3rd generations joining, the scale of the group is getting larger.
From the 3rd single, 2 new members who are 6th graders joined. …I, honestly, am fairly poor at (taking care of) little kids *whispers*. I don’t dislike them!! I am just extremely weak in playing with little kids
For real?!
But since there are Sasshi, Natsu and Chiyori looking after them, it is fine
Relying on the other members, eh *laughs*! But the impression of the two 6th graders focused on being noisy, we who are watching are also cured *laughs*.
Akimoto-sensei has also told us “Please make closeness (tl note: of friendship) as HKT48’s selling point”. At first, I thought, “Eh, such an image?!” but after the juniors joined the group, we also get along well. Even now, I believe that not only getting along well, it would be great if we could go to better direction with mutual competitive spirit
Not just a group that gets along well with each other, eh.
We were told by the staffs that HKT48 has the image of everyone overcoming a huge wall together with all their might. I would like the group to be one that people want to support and face forward.
