ISSHUN NO HANABI RELAY INTERVIEW - OTSUKA NANAMI

"I want to be someone who fits as a center."

The first interview is with Otsuka Nanami, one of the triple center members.

Ⓠ How did you feel when you were chosen as one of NGT48's first triple centers? Nanami: I was genuinely happy to be selected as one of the senbatsu members and as one of the triple centers; it made me feel that what I have been doing until now wasn't wrong. I'm excited to see what colors the 10th single "Isshun no Hanabi," which is filled with so many firsts, will take on from here. I will do my best so that the position of the center, which I have been given this time, will be recognized by the fans and members as soon as possible.

I have always aimed to be the center, and I have worked hard together with the fans to stand in this place. When I first heard the news, I was very surprised, but I was truly happy to have been chosen. At the same time, it motivated me to become a person who fits the role of the center.

Ⓠ What was your first impression when you heard the single "Isshun no Hanabi"? Nanami: The beautiful and bright melody that naturally touches the heart, combined with the slightly bittersweet lyrics, is very characteristic of NGT48, and I was deeply moved. Once you hear it, it gets stuck in your head!

Ⓠ How would you describe the outlook of the song? Nanami: This song is like a firework with a sense of speed from the intro to the outro. Just like how the memory of fireworks remains in your heart, I want to deliver a performance that makes the memories and time spent with me unforgettable, even after many years.

Ⓠ What was your impression of the coupling track? Nanami: This time, I will be participating in "Namida ga Kareru Made Soba ni Iru". When you listen to this song, it gives you the feeling that you can overcome anything! It's a song that gives you power.

Ⓠ Could you share any memorable episodes related to the recording or music video (MV) shoot for the 10th single? Nanami: During the MV shoot, the three of us as the triple centers jumped into the pool while still in our school uniforms, and the 11 of us played with handheld fireworks. We really got to experience "youth"! I think the mood and structure of the video are unlike any MV we've had before.

"I want to work hard to become the face of the group."

Ⓠ Can you tell us about your special skills or something you won't lose to anyone in? Nanami: Right now, I still have a lot to improve, but I want to be able to proudly say that my talking skills are second to none. I enjoy talking to people and conveying things through words, so I want to gain a lot of experience in hosting and reporting work to make people and things shine through my words. Ⓠ What is your charming point? Nanami: It's my performance in theater shows. No matter what position I stand in, I always try to be the protagonist in my mind while on stage. I enjoy reading the lyrics thoroughly and thinking about how I want to present each song. I'll keep working hard to improve my singing and dancing. Ⓠ What are your dreams or goals for your future activities? Nanami: I want to take on more challenges in TV and radio work. Since I like hosting and reporting, my goal is to first become well-known in Niigata and eventually have my own regular show! Right now, I'm fully committed to each job I receive, striving to achieve good results, and working hard to become the face of the group. I also want to become someone who can continuously stand at the center of NGT48.

Currently, I'm performing in our theater show called "Omoide Ippai Kouen," which consists entirely of NGT48's songs. It's full of great songs, and the MC parts are always friendly and fun, making every performance a blast. Please come and enjoy my comments!

Ⓠ Can you recommend some spots in Niigata? Nanami: This spring, Niigata Station was renovated and now has an even better selection of restaurants and eateries. Among them, as a member of NGT48's Ramen Club, my top recommendation is "Tsubame-Sanjo Shumentei Jun." It's a sublime bowl with rich soup full of back fat and chewy noodles, which really hits the spot after a live performance. I highly recommend you try it!

Ⓠ Which NGT48 member are you paying attention to? Nanami: 3rd generation member Rua Isobe. Her dance skills are incredibly high, and lately, I've often seen her guiding her juniors during rehearsals. I hope she'll take the lead in driving NGT48's performances from here on! Ⓠ What TV shows and music do you like? What do you like about them? Nanami: I often watch morning news programs. I love how they always introduce new things and make the day ahead feel exciting. As for music, I mostly listen to idol songs! (LOL) I always find myself realizing how much I really love idols. Ⓠ A message to fans and readers? Nanami: Thank you for reading all the way to the end. We're putting our all into making the 10th single "Isshun no Hanabi" (A Momentary Firework) the best it can be! I hope you'll come to love NGT48. Please continue to support us!
