Ishida Anna
~Today she makes her entry on a field covered with snow…~
Q - Seems like it’s your first time seeing this much snow, you never go skiing?
Anna - Only once, I went when I was in my fifth year of elementary… I was going down the piste, gradually gaining speed and I fell, still rolling on the ground I suddenly saw the pillar of the lift getting dangerously close 「I need to stop! I could get seriously hurt!」. It ended up alright but it was a close call and since then I’ve never been skiing again.
Q - This kind of trauma explains everything (laugh).
~A few steps in the snow to display of her highly praised dance skills.~
Q - Since last fall you’ve been put in concurrent position with AKB48 and SKE48, did you feel a difference between AKB’s and SKE’s dance?
Anna - In SKE we don’t pay much attention to cameras when we dance, while in AKB the instant the camera is on you, members immediately shift their attention from the dance to their expression. They’re peculiarly professional when it comes to this. But then looking objectively at SKE’s dance from an AKB point of view, I could reaffirm SKE’s force, and mine too.
Q - This year SKE appeared independently in Kouhaku and comments have been unanimously eulogistic.
Anna - Right after our performance, I had to appear with AKB so I needed to hurry backstage to change, so I was running along (Matsui) Rena-san, (Matsui) Jurina-san and Kitarie (Kitahara Rie)-san. I was thinking 「I’m so happy!」and tears rolled down my cheeks while I was sprinting toward the changing room. I think people on my way must have been slightly startled at this sight (laugh).
SKE48 Interview I/
Q - This wasn’t the first time our magazine played with the theme of sisters to present SKE members but rarely did we see such realistic portraying of three sisters.
Takayanagi - Yesterday I informed Kanon「Tomorrow we’re posing together. The theme for our shooting will be “three sisters”」. To which she replied 「Eh? Who will be playing the youngest daughter?」(laugh).
Kimoto - I want to be an adult already. And yet I’m always given the youngest child role (laugh).
Q - According to the script Rena-san is the eldest daughter, Takayanagi the second and Kanon the 3rd in line, does that match your personalities?
Matsui - I’m a free spirit so I might better cut to be the second daughter (laugh).
Takayanagi - It’s true that I myself am more of a meddlesome person, I’d fit the elder sister role better. But there is no doubt about Kanon being youngest one.
Kimoto - Ehhhhー I can’t wait to be called the elder sister!
Takayanagi - Don’t fret. One day you’ll be among the eldest, but there won’t be turning back then. The 6th generation is already joining us so your days as the big sister will come.
Kimoto - The 6th generation… I wonder if we’ll get along. How am I supposed to connect with younger girls….?
Takayanagi - You’d make a poor eldest sister! (laugh)
Kimoto - But, I’ve had enough of being the youngest child. What should I do?
SKE48 Interview II/
Q - Your new single 「Choco no Dorei」is a Valentine song, how do you celebrate Valentine’s Day in SKE?
Matsui - The sweets Churi bakes are especially delicious. She even writes the member’s name on top of her cookie.
Takayanagi - Around the time I joined, I used to bake around 4 different types, I wrote the names and drew small illustrations on each of the cookies, but doing the same now would be terribly difficult. That would require to launch a mass production (laugh). Still this year I’ll bake a lot. I was thinking that maybe I could offer some to all the 6th generation members when I go to properly introduce myself to them. Truth is, since I’m shy it will make a good excuse to talk to them.
Q - This time the lyrics tell a story from a boy’s point of view, who is restless as Valentine’s Day approaches, wondering if he will receive chocolates.
Takayanagi - In my imagination, this boy is pretending to not care. (lit : he is playing tsuntsun) But lyrics make it clear he is obsessed with the chocolates in the bag and if they are for him he is ready to kneel down to receive them immediately.
Q - Do you think there are such boys out there?
Takayanagi - Nope, tsuntsun boys are cute but… To go as far as prosternate himself is a bit….right? (laugh)
SKE48 Interview III/
Q - As part of the “receiving faction”, can you tell us what kind of chocolates you like?
(tln : Rena said before she isn’t one to offer chocolates, she would rather receive them)
Matsui - I prefer sweet over bitter ones. Ahー choco’ ice! Vanilla with chocolate coating. I love it so much that when I eat it it feels like there is no greater joy in life.
Q - Ice… It might be a bit complicated to hand it before it melts (laugh). Well now, since this edition features members from all teams, can Rena-san tell us how she perceives Team KII and Team E?
Matsui - Since 「Ramune no Nomikata」started, KII’s power of unity has become stronger and stronger. On the other hand E, in a good way, is more loose. They remind me of the old Team S, during the interval between our 2nd and 3rd stage. Not only do I get their state of mind, but it gets me curious for the future.
Q - About the 6th generation which will be joining very soon.
Matsui - Not too long ago, they presented themselves to the public. They were all nervous, but since we are all equals once we stand on stage, I want them to forget all restrains and step forward. Just like Akarin (Suda Akari) or E’s Furuhata Nao-chan, when I see girls like them being assertive I think 「SKE is still in the game」. (tln : literally “SKEはまだ頑張れる”/”SKE keeps fighting”)
Q - Rena-san too, when you debuted you refused to stand in Jurina-san’s shadow.
Matsui - Ahahahah, that’s true (laugh). But you see, Akarin for example. Yukko (Kinoshita Yukiko) and Ogi-chan (Ogiso Shiori) entered senbatsu before her and yet she decided she didn’t want to lose to them and fought her way through. Nao-chan too, even if her rival Nanako entered senbatsu already, they still want to give their best together. I think it’s wonderful how, exalted by this feeling and as they discover themselves*, they’re making such great efforts.
(*tln : “as they discover themselves” -> I wasn’t perfectly sure what Rena meant here, but given the topic it must be something like “as they get to learn about themselves, their boundaries and what they’re really capable of” )
Q - Even if they become WMatsui rivals?
Matsui - It actually makes me happy when I hear Nanako and Nao-chan who keep repeating 「I want the two of us to become center」.
Q - Your goal of performing independently in Kouhaku has been reached, for SKE what will 2013 be about?
Matsui - I want to hold many lives. We had the chance to perform in Gaishi Hall in Nagoya, but I also want to fill large venues in Tokyo and Osaka. I want to keep moving forward, every time. Going for bigger venues. Like having an arena tour for example. I also want to appear in Kouhaku again. I want us to have such merit and force that people won’t merely wonder 「Is SKE going to make it this year? 」but to make them say「I knew they would be invited this year too.」.
Even your ITP (Infinitely Tormenting Pairing) can bring you joy and fulfillment and when that day finally comes, ya betta’ gif it!
OMG Kid! Why you undress Shawako too?! ∑（`・д´・ ；）
Even your ITP (Infinitely Tormenting Pairing) can bring you joy and fulfillment and when that day finally comes, ya betta’ gif it!
I promise I’ll be a good WMatsui shipper so please, Santa, can we have more of this like… everyday? Please! ( o*°^°*o)
~Merry Kiss-mas everyone~
Short doujin by saku.
She explains on pixiv she gave those pages to those who bought her new doujin during Spark7 yesterday. She thanks everyone who came and visibly she never sold that well (JR getting pretty popular I see~).
For anyone interested, she will participate to those events and sell JR doujins there (among others) :
2013/3/17 HARU COMIC CITY 18
2013/5/4 SUPER COMIC CITY 22
Edit : rurei pm’ed me about the last panel and yeah, it was actually Kumi and Ogi’mama, not Ju and Rena (totally not getting used to Kumin’s short cut ^^’). So I fixed it.
Edit 2 : Instead of asking for scans, why not trying to get your hand on a copy of the doujin? (´‐ω‐）=з
「なんてったって、栄ドル」byれなひょん♡ A frog with no recollection of the 1st time it saw SKE perform live in early 2011... Making up for it now? Maybe.
