Members of Morning Musume, who will celebrate their 20th anniversary before long, appear by turns. This time, Sato Masaki(17) of 10ki, “the unknown genius!?” talks about herself and the group from her special point of view. 【until joining】 One of the motives is that although I studied with my father until midnight I forgot everything next day. I guess my father thought that he should give this girl a musical education, not a normal one. I’ve learned piano since 2 years old, and after that I started to learn drum. I hate studying but loved playing the instrument.About an audition, my father arbitrarily applied for it because he thought I can learn about music in Morning Musume. In fact my family wouldn’t let me watch a TV, so I didn’t know about Morning Musume and Tsuku-san. I did hide-and-seek at the training camp because my mother said “Never mind about passing the audition, just enjoy it. Those who enjoy is a winner”. But I was scolded for that by staff-san and I was late for the next day’s meeting. At that time everyone’s eyes were so scary.(laugh) 【Knowing nothing of the world】 I really know nothing of the world. I didn’t know about a relationship. In hometown, everyone listend to what I said. They said making me angry was scary. (laugh) So, I was like “what??” when Harunan said “do it yourself” in response to me telling her “Harunan, do that” as usual. The atmosphere was rapidly changed since joining Morning Musume. Maybe about 380 degrees(Iikubo, who was sitting next to her, said “180 degrees”). Eh? Well, then a bit more than 180 degrees. It was a little hard. 【10ki】 Harunan wrote all lyrics in Hiragana for me at the audition. She’s type of person who pays you back double about bad things. I can’t expect when the fearful Haruan will come out. I’m worried that for now, she makes herself agreeable to others, but at that time she will leave others behind. Duu is strong-minded and has her own belief, so she knows what she has to do. She is weakhearted sometimes, but you don’t have to worry about her. Ayumi never says die to others. So, we have to notice her feeling first. She pretends to be tough sometimes, but that’s why she shines.We, 10ki, are scared. We don’t know when the things will change. Though someone from the management isn’t supposed to hear this(Iikubo said “one is here right in front of your eyes”), I have to say that bad things will happen if they seperate 10ki. 【about the graduation of two 9ki members】I was loved by Tanaka Reina-san and Michishige Sayumi-san, so after their graduations I was painful for a while. It was Yassan who filled my empty heart. I’m not still used to her absence. Yassan was so big to me. Suzuki Kanon-san has the cutest face. She has big eyes, full lips and a shapely nose. Michishige-san also praised it. She used to liven up the mood, so after her graduation I think the atmosphere will change totally. I’ve also changed since Yassan’s graduation. Formerly, I put on my earphones and closed a shutter during break time. But recently I’ve changed my mind and thought “Let’s change and get along with everyone.” My goal for this year is to talk more with the members.*Translation by tadahitorinoningen from H!O
