Aikatsu!: Manga & Mangaka Atsudou! (2014)

Then I better work hard and pull more ahead so you won’t be able to catch up.

I believe that there’s no such thing as a fan you can’t see!

Back then, I would have never imagined that I, someone like me, could become an idol!

I wanted to become an idol, a Starlight Queen who could bring people smiles. Even off the stage, I wanted to Aikatsu that would make everyone smile. I wanted to become an idol who could look for fun and inspiring things together with you. This all comes from how big a crybaby I was when I was younger, as well as seeing Ichigo-chan do her best for the sake of her friend. The sight of Ichigo-chan bringing a smile to her friend’s face was incredibly awesome! If, like her, I’ve become able to ease someone’s unpleasant feelings or bring them a smile, then that’s all I could ask for. I’ll work harder and harder – even if something bad happens, even harder – always doing my best!

The best thing about Ichigo-chan? Without a doubt, that would be … how she taught me to dream!

Gracias, in other words, thank you.

Gurashiasu, tsumari arigatou. (グラシアス、つまりありがとう.)

Love you!
