Talk between AKB48’s next ace candidates…’s … is very cute! A candidate of our center! (words on the right side)It’s Mayuyu and Paruru this time. So I think I would ask about AKB48 in 2013!(M=Mayuyu, P=Paruru)M: Sure enough, right after Maeda-san had graduated, AKB48’s first chapter which was up until now have ended. Now it’s the 2nd chapter, so I want to do my best so that I could grab fans’ hearts firmly.P: For me, I think that I want to be widely active like Akimoto Sayaka-san so that everyone who doesn’t know about AKB48 would have interest in us.Hoho.P: Definitely because the fans now mostly have the image that “So the senpais have increased”, so we need to be newly developed.Wonderful! By the way, I want to ask about the center theories, Shimazaki-san said “Center shouldn’t stand out too much” before, right?P: Yeah. If the center were to be like Matsuko Deluxe-san, then it would be only that person to be outstanding.M: Like to the extreme! (laughs). The image of a center for me is an existence that even in a large amount of people, she would still shine conspicuously. Hoho. Like “She would still be sparkling that would make your eyes go boom wherever she is”, right?P: Oh yeah, my younger brother is very sparkling to Mayuyu-san, right?M: Yeah! Paruru’s younger brother’s sparkle is very amazing! He’s very cute!Eh? How old is your brother?P: 8 years old.M: He’s very cute! Pure! Elegant! A candidate for center position! We want to take him!What do you mean! (laughs). By “we”, you mean AKB48? Or do you mean your family?M: Eh~? (smiling)P: Being pure and elegant is definitely cool, right?M: Yeah! Your brother is very cute!Somehow I’ve understood it. Thank you~!
On February 1st, in the moment Tomochin announces her graduation, Paruru were crying. We chought such a news and put it on this newspaper, it will featuring Itano Tomomi (21)’s graduation announcement, and first interview with Shimazaki Haruka (18). They went to the first shrine of the year together, addressing a topic of such a surprising relationship of “ChinParu”, the truth about this one, we hit their actual mental state. Both appeared (n://for the interview) wearing the clothes of the new song “SO LONG!” (releasing Febraury 20th) harmoniously. It got uttered by Tomochin in what way Paruru resebles Maeda Atsuko consecutively, and the talk became even deeper of what we could expect. (S = Shimazaki Haruka; T = Itano Tomomi)—-Recently, it’s been talking about Tomochin and Paruru’s relationshipT: we actually are friends since quite before. S: yep!T: but what was the thing which made us to approach?S: what was it? I can’t remember. Ufufu—-Who’s the one who first asked for mobile-phone number?T: I was the one. Let’s exchange phone-numbers, Paruchan!, that’s what I said her. But I don’t know when it was that I asked her. S: I can’t remember at all〜 (laughs)T: before we became so close friends, when it was being said: “who’ll become next center after Atsuko graduation”, I answered Paru.S: ehh〜!T: the first time when I noticed her it was as a viewer, when she appeared on AKBINGO!’s corner of “scribble on the face” I thought: “so cute”.S: aahh, that one〜. HeeT: then, I tried to approach to her, like after the JANKEN tournament or when we appear together in music-shows with “UZA”, maybe we gradually became so close friends. It’s like Atsuko’s left, and Paru joined the Election and I kinda started to think what’s something which resembles her to Atsuko.—-I can’t impagine the conversations between the two of you.S: eh〜, it’s a normal conversation. T: we ordinary talk. Like we talk about… food. S: like: “I want to eat panckakes”.T: because Paru likes sweet things, when we’ve break in work, we’re like: “let’s go to have a meal together”…—-Did you go out to visit together the first shrine this year?S: no, before that there’s once…T: what was that?S: I’ve forgotten for where we went but… (the choreographer) Maekawa-senpai was with us. T: that one! Last year, because of the “BEST HIT FESTIVAL” I went to stay overnight in Kansai and the day after I must have been in Okinawa. Then, Makachan who’s the one in charge to take care of choreography was staying overnight there. And it seems that Paru too, she was saying there, and the 3 of us went to eat… Kansai-meat? Uh? Kobe-beef? It’s Kobe-beef, we went to eat Kobe-beef and then we went to take a PURIKURA, we had fun! S: yep!—-It seems you […] a lot at the shrine to worshiper(s). (n://didn’t get the verb ‘cause I can’t read properly that kanji, I can’t see it. I’m blind. D:)T: when the show at CDTV got over for the New Year’s Eve, we moved from TBS to the nearest shrine, and we went to buy our meal to a branch shop, and people of the store were very helpful. S: that’s right. “You won the Japan Record Award so let’s celebrate that”, they said and we got a lot of food.T: like grilled IKA NO TAKA.S: like cooking it with Motsu〜. It was delicious.—-It seems you cought fortune several times.T: 2 times. At the beginning it was luck and there were written good things, it pleased me, but I want to get it once again (laughs).S: it was luck to me too. I got 2 of them and I don’t know to which one should I believe, so it was only one time for me (laughs).—-From I’d like to try to go to the heart of the episode. The day of Tomochin’s graduation announcement at the greeting stage, when Tomochin announced it to members in the backstage, Paruru couldn’t stand up and broke down.T: Ufufu. Paruchan cried for me. —-What was Paruru’s mental state?S: like: “seniors are quickly graduating, I don’t want〜”…T: you’ve been saying this since before, right?S: yes. Usually I’d think to graduation announcements at huge concerts, but I didn’t think about an announcement in the documentary, it surprised me. —-You don’t let to leak out your emotions at all, it was unusual for Paru to do that, wasn’t it?S: when I heard it, I didn’t want that. I felt sad.T: about me, I told that to Takamina a lot before, and the day before I met with all 1st generation members. But I didn’t have the right time to can say that to juniors, so I came to think if it wasn’t better to not say that. I’ve also consulted with Akimoto-sensei, I decided about that at the last moment. In such a documentary movie there’s a scene with my announcement, but at the time of the preview-meeting that scene has been get edited the whole time. And no one of members did know about that at all. —-What about the announcement in the backstage?T: I told in front of them: “that editing part, there’s my graduation announcement…”. At that time, I was able to look at 1st generation members eyes, but I wasn’t able to look at juniors’ eyes. Paru has been always so firm, but she has taking feelings lightly by hints. Me too, in my memories of my 7 years ago I cried, but I got told by Takamina: “past is hard, so we’ve to raise up somehow”. S: Ufufufu.T: when I turned around there was Paruru who was crying so hard, she was breaking down crying (laughs). I said her: “Paruchan, sorry〜” and I comforted her.S: ufufu.—-They’re cute jurions who came to cry for yourself, don’t you think the same?T: in fact, right because they’re so cute, I became to have such a grief feeling. But, even if I said them it before, it would have been painful as well. However, it made me really happy that she cried for me.—-At the greeting stage, Paruru made her appear on the stage while crying, but until that time…?T: isn’t Paru someone who doesn’t get out her emotions at all? So, because she was like that, I thought like: “she must be feeling very sad, doesn’t she?”, I was like: “feelings of love are being conveyed”.S: that’s right, I felt lonely. But there’s still time ‘til the graduation, so I’m still OK (laughs). T: yeah, let’s create other memories.—-There’s a talk which has been worrying us ‘til now, the point about the fact that Paruru resembles Acchan a little bit. Tomochin, which parts of Paruru do you think resembles Acchan? T: eh〜, she’s charming. It’s like… Perhaps, I think Paruchan isn’t such a child who think in her heart to want to become center. Atsuko always said: “I wonder why I am the one who must be center” too at the beginning. But Paruchan has charm, she has an aura, she has the power to can attract people, that’s why I’d like her to become center. But for that you’ve been having a lot of pressure too, am I right?S: (while nodding) ufufu.T: she has been troubled a lot. I don’t think you want to take it by youself, but I wonder if you won’t be able to take AKB48 and move forward. S: I’m really grateful to seniors who say me such a things. But well, I don’t know. How’ll be it? (laughs).T: but, although I may say that she resembles Acchan, won’t it be said by fans that it isn’t so? That’s why it can’t be said by people around at all. —-Few days ago, you two sang: “kimi to boku no kankei (the relationship between you and me)” at the REQUEST HOUR. Paruru taken Acchan’s position several times, doesn’t she?T: perhaps, people who decided about that must be like Akimoto-sensei, or people of the staff, I think. It’s said very often by staff: “really, Paruru can do looking at anyone else but Maeda”. It’s not only on the stage, she usually does all things like Atsuko.S: it’s said often. Since long time ago. It has been saying since when Maeda-san was here.—-Like that they eat only the upper part of Sushi?T: yes, yes!S: that’s right (bitter smile).T: before that, when there was daifuku, they got it with strawberries above it. And then, they ate everything taking only strawberries. S: this doesn’t mean that I do Maeda-san’s imitation (laughs).T: I could do such a thing, about Atsuko and Paruru.S: that’s a strange thing.T: I say what I think. I can’t reserve myself. But I love it. It’s because I’m like that too. I don’t care at all, and it feels good. —-Because since before graduation Acchan and Tomochin have such a relationship which make them able to consult without problems.T: “we has even more anties than fans, right?”, we also had such a talk before her graduation. I was worried. “they’ll be fighting you a lot. It will be for sure, anties who’re even more than fans… like, won’t fans not be there?” (bitter smile). We really talked a lot. Like even when we came out on TV, we both were saying like: “I don’t want!”, there have been a lot of times. —-What do you think Paruru listening to such a talk?S: I kinda feel like that now… (bitter smile)—-Are you troubled?S: it’s a little scary, the fact to betroubled. T: Paruru has been Acchan’s under (who get in replacing the standing position) many times, that’s said even by fans, so I feel her like poor Paruru. Although you didn’t choose such a standing position personally, it’s hard. —-You clearly said on last day’s MC: “for REQUEST HOUR’s first day I’ve been taking Acchan’s positions many times, and anties didn’t agree with that”, am I right?T: did you say that!?S: yes, I did (laughs).T: cute〜 (laughs). I think it’s completely OK to speack without holding back anything. Because I do that too.—-It’s unusual for Paruru to count on the hand: “1st, this has said by anties about Acchan’s position; 2nd, it was said it was a fixed match although the JANKEN tournament is so honest; 3rd, it came in my mind suddenly, but I’ve been joining AKB48 for 3 years”.You’ve spoke about these 3 things so fluently, didn’t you?S: I’ve said that, didn’t I? (laughs)T: you’re so cute〜, really.S: I’ve decided. I’ll talk about these 3 things for sure!, I’ve thought. I’ve kept them to myself. Ufufu (laughs).Together: (burst into laughter)S: I got said by people of the staff: “this time’s CM will be in a hurry, so whatever you’ll say they’ll take it at easy…”, and when I asked for confirmation: “they’ll take it at easy for sure?”, I got as respons: “yeah, they’ll take it at easy”. And so, let’s say it!, that’s what I said (laughs)T: ahh, it’s so! So cute〜. You’re super cute.
Paruru’s charmSashihara Rino-san (HKT48)The first impression I got about Paruru… I’m sorry! I can’t remember it at all (laughs) But because I think she has such a very cute face, I think that face is the most charming point of hers. She isn’t only cute, because I love her personality very much as well, I want to talk with her more! Time ago, we went to see the Hello! Project concert together, but let’s go to much more places together! Paruru’s charm.Matsui Rena-san (SKE48)My first impression about her was “white”. It was a cool impression, but looking at her trying to remember dance-choreography while she’s busy with work, I really thought she’s such a hardworker. Also, I had the impression she’s someone who likes to eat (laughs). Paruru’s charm point is to be an unaffected person and to be honest. That’s why I say that Paruru’s praising words are for real and I can believe to her. Her smile is charming as well, but when her face becomes like: “buー”, like angry face, it grips my heart (n://how the hell can I translate “KYUN” in English?!?! D:). A memorable episode is when after the shooting for the MV of “MANATSU NO SOUNDS GOOD” we went to have a meal all members together, and Paruru was: “I want to eat grilled meat, but it’s difficult to grill the meat!”, so for some reason I got to grill the meal for her (laughs). I love such a free person how is Paruru! Please keep laughing like Paruru does. We promised to go out together, but our schedule don’t coincide at all, so I want to go to eat yummy things (like RAMEN) together!Paruru’s charmYokoyama Yui-san (AKB48 ・NMB48)Paruru and I were in KKS as same generation, because we have been friends since always, we shared happy things, funny things, painful things, frustrating things, we really shared a lot of things. She’s very honest, but there’s also a face/part of hers which is surprisingly prone to worrying, when we stayed in a hotel together in the same room, she told me about things she was worried about, “Paruru thinks a lot, doesn’t she?”, it’s something I felt. Her Team also got disbanded, but recenlty we’re having a lot of opportunities to can work together, and I’m glad about this! Until now there haven’t been opportunities to can work together at all, so now I’m trying to do much more things together with Paruru like on radio-programs, like on series of magazines, like in units together during AKB48 concerts! Actually, I’ve a feel that I’m going to spend my whole life with her hereafter. And, I don’t usually say that, but… I love Paruru![Picutre with Shimazaki only and the bag]This year’s New Year I bought a bag by COACH. When I went to travel abroad with my family, I found it in a shop,I liked the pink color and it was very cute, but it was a little bit expansive, so I had troubles. Then, my mother told me: “it’s better to buy it here than Japan, you’re working hard with your job, so you can buy it, don’t you think?”, so I decided to buy it! It has a quite design, but it also has a vivid color, so it give you a dressing accent, that’s why I’m using it a lot recenlty.Q&A [the picture with red background]Question1: you joined AKB48, what are the hardest memories you have?the compatibility when I went to school. Because there were days in which because of the work I came late at night at home, but I decided that I wouldn’t take any rest from school.Question2: who’re the members you get along with the most in the group?(Yokoyama) Yui and (Matsui) Renachan. Recenlty I’m getting in good terms also with Itano (Tomomi)-san. Question3: what’s the song you like the mont in AKB48? (the song and the PV)the song I like the most is “RIVER”, as PV Maeda-san is very cute, so “IIWAKE MAYBE” is the one I like! Ah, of course, I like “EIEN PRESSURE” both as song and PV (laughs). Question4: if you didn’t join AKB48, what do you think you’ve been doing now?Maybe I’d have been going to the beauty professional school. Question5: what’s something your good to cook? (n://dunno if it is used in English, like: “speciality in cook”?? )omelet. When I was a high-school student and I made my lunch box by myself, I put it too.Question6: what’s the happiest memories you have since you joined AKB48?When I was able to go overseas by work. And that I was able to become friend with SKE48 and NMB48 members. I think if it was in a normal life, there wouldn’t be opportunities for become friend with Nagoya and Osaka girls at all. Question7: what was a dream of yours when you were a child?to become like a veterinary, or to be a clerck in a rental video shop, or to be a clerck in a cake-shop. Question8: who would be your lover in AKB48?Kitahara Rie-san. (n://WHUT?! Why?! O_O” LOL)Question9: in which times your tension rises up?when I got mail by menager: “tomorrow is your day off”.
HARUKA SHIMAZAKI Special INTERVIEW—-This time it’s your first appearance in SMART, what are your thoughts?It’s the first time I appear on a front cover of such a fashion magazine, that’s why I got a little bit anxious, but it was enjoyable that they let me wear clothes that I usually don’t wear! Whatever front cover it becomes, I enjoy it!—-Previously you also appeared in “FAVOURITE GIRL!”, the January issue, and it got very popular too. There were some reactions/repercussion?I got told by fans: “I always buy “SMART”, so it made me happy!”, I always get taken (n://in pictures) in a sightly different atmosphere, and the coordination, the photos, my body, I like they all a lot. The photo-shoot in Harajuku for “KUCHIKE” was funny as well, and I’d like to appear in that corner again, so please keep me into account (laughs).—-Well, the interview to Shimazaki-san is started, and I’d like to ask you a lot of things about you activity until now. They have passed 3 years since you joined AKB48, but what’s the reason that made you think: “I want to join AKB48”?When I was an high-school student, I got invited by a friend who was in my same class: “let’s get the audition for AKB48!”, when I went to check for some informations on the internet, it was written: “urgent recruitment”, and I thought that if it was urgent, then we had to do it quickly, and so I subscribed me too. I hadn’t confidence to get the audition it at all, but when I passed it I remember it surprised me a lot. —-Originally, you liked AKB48 and you wanted to join it?At the time of the formation of AKB48 I got it as a news, but I started to be interested in it because of the influence of this my friend’s and the invite to the audition. I thought that it seemed that idol have a lot of fun, but I’ve never thought to become an idol myself. —-In autumn of the year 2009 you passed the audition and become one of the Research Students, but what kind of activities you’ve done when you were a Research Student?As Research Student I took part to stage performances as senior members’ under at the Akihabara theater, so as first thing I had to memorize seniors’ songs and dance, so I had to do practice every day in order to do that. Until that time I haven’t had experience in dance and sing at all, but I had to make my body to memorize a lot of dances and positions in a short period of time, so when school got over I went to the lessons-location and had practice with members, then I kept practice with DVDs by myself since when I got home. It was very hard at the beginning every day to get used to it. Actually, even now I’m not so good to can remember the moviments of the choreography of new song (laughs)—-After that, you got the promotion as official member, in spring 2011 you become the center of newly estabilished Team 4, you got activity, but in spring 2012 you starred in the drama “Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou”, and you became one of the Senbatsu members in “MANATSU NO SOUNDS GOOD” for the first time etc., you became someone in the spotlight all at once, didn’t you?It become like that right when I graduated from school and I could focuse myself on work, so for me it was a very perfect timing. You said that I’m in the spotlight and should be enoying something of happy, but honestly, as myself I think nothing has changed at all. —-A lot of attention is being paied to Shimazaki-san, after Maeda Atsuko-san, who was the immobile center of AKB48, announced her graduation, it has being said a lot: “next center candidate”.Such a said thing has increased, but I’m trying to not feel it at all. I’m not so determined about this “center position”, so for me anyone would be OK as center, and I think we should support each other.—-While you think that, on September it was hold the JANKEN tounament and you got a splendid victory, and you played the center role for the first time, “Eien Pressure” is surely the song in which Shimazaki-san plays the role of the main character. It made a big hit. That’s thanks to “MECHA IKE” (laughs). In that program a lot of people came to know me, Yabe-san also thought about me a lot, and 1000 people came to the event as well, I think I was able to grown! Also, the fact that I was selected among “Team Surprise” members is important. I think that a lot of people came to know me by chance thanks to these 2 things. And I’m happy!—-A while ago “Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou” became a movie, you also starred in the drama “Majisuka Gakuen”, moreover it was broadcasted at the beginning of the year the SP “ATARU” where you also took part, your work as actress is increasing as well, right?I think it’s a difficult job, but to play different people and not myself it is enjoyable. In “Bakaleya” and “Majisuka” I co-starred with AKB48 members, but in “ATARU” there were nothing but people who I met with for the first time, because I had to take part in the middle of a team which was already completed, that’s why I felt anxious at the beginning, but everyone were so kind that I was able to get along the set. The lines/speeches were long and it was difficult, but I really had fun and it was a good experience, that’s why I’d like to try to challenge it again!—-I’d like to ask you about your private as well. What’s Shimazaki-san’s usual fashion style?Recently I’m liking cute patterned tights, so I’m thinking a coordination (n://of clothes) focusing myself on tights, so skirts and one pieces are inevitabily becoming a lot. I like to feel like a girl (n://dunno if “atmosphere like a girl” is the same D: ), that’s why I also have denim jeans, but I won’t wear them at all maybe.—-What kind of item did you buy towards the spring?As well as tights, I’m also into detachable collar, and when I find some cute of them, I end up to buy them. I like to go to shopping and I’d like to go and get spring things in a hurry, but I don’t know very well what’s fashionable yet (laughs) that’s why I didn’t buy anything yet. I want to study trend reading fashion magazines.—-You’re busy every day, but how do you do to can relax?I slowly enter in the bath, and while I’m in the bathtub I read script and watch DVDs. Sleep is also important, that’s why I try to sleep as much as possible, but since the beginning of this year I’ve been so busy that I haven’t slept at all, my head is getting panic (laughs) Even if it is for the same song, my position in a TV program changes depending of the TV program, that’s why I’ve to remember everything and it’s really hard. But overcoming such an experiences, recently the speed with I can memorize choreography, it’s increasing a little bit!—-Then, please tell us AKB48’s goal for the future and Shimazaki-san’s goal for the future.As future of AKB48, I think it would be OK if the group keep to be around as idol group for about 10 years still. Personally, I want to be selected for the General Election of singles but I’m not interested to be center (laughs) If I’d get the opportunity to can work as an actress again I’d try to do my best! —-As last thing, please give a message to people who’re reading “SMART”.Thank you very much for keep supporting me as always. I think there are people who don’t know Shimazaki Haruka yet, but if you came to be interested in this just by chance, it makes me glad. I’ll do my best in order to be able to appear in “SMART” again!
