■Dream: to become a world-class singer

My dream is to become a world-class artist. Through all the hours I spent practicing for the Utahime audition, my determination got stronger and stronger. I didn’t want to have any regrets no matter what the outcome, so I overcame my fears and anxieties and diligently practiced each song until I was satisfied. When I heard that I’d won, I trembled with joy for the first time in my life. With my voice, I’ll sensitively express the many messages of love in DEEMO to make it into a great film. Thank you to all of you who supported me!
