Keep your gaze slightly downward. Hold your hands elegantly... Whenever I get cameras pointed at me, I usually just smile, hold my hand out in a peace sign, and yell out “Flower!”, but... For today's photoshoot, I need to control myself... I need to be as well-behaved as a rabbit being carried. That way I can be a beautiful woman befitting a kimono!

Now where are you~♪ Oh, I must've gotten absorbed in what I was doing, huh? I was bouncing this ball. This is called “Kaga temari”. It's a traditional bridal item from Kanazawa. The patterns are so colorful and beautiful, right!? You know, every time I learn about Kanazawa's traditions, it makes me wonder how much tradition there is in Nagano, where I used to live. Maybe I'll go to the library there and research it for myself next time I come home!

I mentioned this to you, right? My mom actually graduated from Hasunosora. When I went home recently, I asked her, “Why did you pick Hasunosora for high school even though you've always lived in Nagano?” Apparently, she went to Hasunosora because she always wanted to be a singer! I was really surprised to find out she used to be in the choir club! My mom's always had a really nice singing voice... Maybe that's why I started to love singing so suddenly. Right now, I really do love Hasunosora and Kanazawa! So I'm gonna bloom in this city even more than Mom did! Ehehe!
