“I think performance is deception. So I am just myself in the film.” Far from "performing" a character, she convinces the audience that she is showing her true personality without reservation in the film and fusing her character and persona.

Two forms are crucial to the ‘dynamic characterisation’ of an abstract character: developmental and chronological. The character’s personal traits are ramified over time so as to highlight its shifts.

The star is born only when the reciprocal interpretation of the character and the real person manages to occur. In Hibiki, the superimposition of the character and Hirate’s defiant personality makes this film successful, leaving each of her movements open to discussion: whether it is performance or her true self-expression.

[Fan comments] on “It is not interesting”

Hirate told the director Tsukikawa that her first impression on Hibiki's scenario was 'it is not interesting', which is considered quite courageous for a new actress to challenge the experienced director. But Tsukikawa improved several scenes according to Hirate's advice.

Yurina Hirate appeared on TV show "Gyouretsu no dekiru houritsu soudanjo" on Sep.16th.
Then she talked a episode at shooting HIBIKI and it is becoming a topic of conversation as Yurina is a real "HIBIKI" among her fans.
In this episode, it turned out Yurina Hirate told her first impression of HIBIKI's scenario as "It is not interesting"!! to this film director!! I think normal teenager couldn't say such a thing if they were on the same situation.
Film director noticed that her point of view was right due to her opinion and they could improve this sinario better than past one. It is too cool episode...

[Comments] by ShoTsukikawa (Film director) on the theme song of HIBIKI

# data[].attributes.body
The director Tsukikawa commented, "this lyric is like Hirate and Hibiki overlap each other". Unlike other film's theme songs, Hibiki's song was not promoted separately, in order to avoid the feeling that this film is only for promotion of Hirate. This concern indicates the resemblance between Hibiki and Hirate.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
HIBIKI's theme song "Kado wo magaru" was released to accompany releasing HIBIKI today.
Regarding this song, comments of Sho Tsukikawa is film director of HIBIKI was released in HIBIKI's HP today.
It turned out why this song's information kept secret until opening day.

I quated and translated this comment as follows.
Let's check it out.

コメント：月川翔（監督）
Comments :Sho Tsukigawa (Film director)

主題歌に関しては迷いがありました。通例に従って何か主題歌をつけるのか、歌声のない劇伴のままエンドロールを迎えるか。当初は劇伴のまま通すことがこの作品にとって適切な形に思えていました。平手友梨奈に意見を求めると彼女も同意見。僕は安心したものの、何か順調すぎる、と違和感が残りました。現状で100点の満足度はある。けれど120点を目指してないんじゃないか。
I was unable to make a dicision about theme song. I should add a certain theme song as usual or a song has no voice. First I thought we should choose a song has no voice for endroll and it was the most proper choice for this movie. When I asked Yurina about it, she had same opinion with me then. I was releaved to hear that. However I felt uneasy simultaneously since everything was going too well. I felt current situation was perfect. But I thought we should aim high at the same time.

それでふと、平手友梨奈の歌声で主題歌をつけたらどうか、と提案しました。平手さんは自分が前面に押し出されていくのは望ましくないのではと懸念しました。僕にもその不安はありました。けれどそれは宣伝時に主題歌をどう扱うかの問題にも思えました。作品自体はもう一段高みを目指したい、と伝えると、平手さんは「作品にとって必要であれば」と言い、こう続けました。
Suddenly, I proposed why we don't add the theme song with Yurina's song. Yurina was worried she stands out by it. I had a same worry. However I thought it is a only problem how to deal with it when we promote this movie. I told her I would like to aim high with this movie. After that, she said "If needed for this work, I will do it" and keep talking as follows,

「聴いていただいて、良くなければ遠慮なくナシにしてもらって構いません。出来上がった曲で判断してください」 そうして120点を目指して出来上がった楽曲が「角を曲がる」です。15才の鮎喰響と現在の平手友梨奈が重なり合ったような歌詞。いくつもの騒動を経てなお角をひとつ曲がっただけ、という鑑賞後感を支え、響と出会った人々の人生の転機にも思いを馳せられるエンディング曲になりました。
"If you listen my song and don't feel good, it is no problem not to use it as a theme song. Please decide wheater you adopt it or not after listening it."
"Kado wo magaru" was created through these process to aim high. This ryric is like Yurina and Hibiki overlap each other. It supports the feeling of finishing watching is she turn a corner only through many troubles. and become a ending song as we can think about pa turning point of persons Hibiki met.

通例に従うなら、然るべきタイミングで「情報解禁」され、"主題歌は平手友梨奈ソロ曲！"といった形で押し出されていくものだと思います。しかし今回それは控えたほうが良いと話し合いました。映画全体が平手友梨奈のためのプロジェクトなんじゃないか、というような予断を与えたくなかったのです。それで公開前の試写会では、エンドロールに楽曲情報などを載せない形で上映しました。公開日を迎えた今、この映画に触れた方々が、主題歌に関しても本編の一部だと感じていただけたらと願っております。
Usually, theme song like it is relelased before opening date and it promotes as "theme song is Yurina's solo one!". However we discussed the promotion and decided we should not do like below. We didn't want you guys to feel this movie is only for promotion of Yurina Hirate.
So we removed the information of this song from endroll when we held the preview.
I hope you watched this movie feel this song is also one of the part of HIBIKI.

The author of the original manga used Hirate as the prototype of Hibiki and invited her to play this role in the film. The comments on Hibiki in this trailer, such as "destroying the common sense""genius""'charisma", are also suitable on Hirate.

The characters of genre are personification of the values and imperatives in the generic world. In fan works, like the cyborgs governed by the forces in the cyberpunk world, Hirate revolts against modern technology and everything that exploits the individuality of human beings in the industrial setting.

The unity and transparency of Hirate's on-screen and off-screen star identity matches the 'clear' concept of Anrealage's new concept movie. Her character as a pioneer of the group also conveys the avant-garde brand image.

[Comments] Twitter searching results of "Yurina Hirate" "Rei Ayanami" from 19 April 2016 to 12 Feb 2019

# data[].attributes.body
Many fans comment that Hirate and Rei Ayanami are too alike. Ayanami is the clone man in the Japanese mecha animation Neon Genesis Evangelion. Hirate's star identity as the misfit and pioneer shares the similarity of Ayanami's taciturnity and strong fighting capacity.

# data[].attributes.body
In this manga, the cyborg protagonist Motoko searches for the meaning of her own existence. This theme is similar to the content of Hirate's works. Connected with the Japanese cyberpunk genre, her struggle object is expanded to advanced technology and anything that exploits human individuality in an industrial society.

This MV adopts the typical cyberpunk visual style: cold tone, neon lights and warriors in helmets. The powerful but alienated character is the epitome of Hirate’s previous roles as a pioneering and lonely rebel. The conflicts between humanity and mechanical forces is enhanced again here.

This advertisement is a montage ofHirate's documentary footage and the scene of her overlooking the city from the viewing platform in Shibuya. It also uses the typical visual style of cyberpunk to portray Hirate as a detached recalcitrant against the concrete jungle.

# data[].attributes.body
The wet street reflecting neon signs is the typical image in cyberpunk works. This series of photos in Shibuya, Tokyo, is taken in a peeping perspective to add a sense of reality to the street-style pictures. Hirate's alienation from the city is highlighted through this photography style.

Hirate dances lithely in front of a burning machine beside the forest, in contrast to other robot-dancing members. Impelled by her, others escape from the factory and dance flexibly. This MV exhibits the opposite between human and machine. It therefore facilitates Hirate's personification of the genre, cyberpunk.

Hirate got dyspnea in this accident. In the MV of Break the Glass!, she watches herself breathing heavily in the TV, then kicks the screen into pieces, feeling angry about 'being observed' and her own weakness. The reconstruction of the real event in the MV enhances the fusing of her character and persona.

Three members of Keyakizaka46 collapsed during their performance of "Fukyouwaon" on Kouhaku. This is their second performance of the song featuring a collaboration with main host Uchimura Teruyoshi. During the performance, Hirate Yurina was already seen shaking and breathing hard. In a pose with Uchimura, her hands were trembling hard and could not pose properly. At the end of the performance, Suzumoto Miyu fainted during the final triangle formation. Hirate Yurina and Shida Manaka also collapsed in the end.

According to NHK, the three members were diagnosed with hyperventilation and were attended by a nurse and physical condition recovered. They were not transported to the hospital and rested in the dressing room.

After the program, the official twitter account of Keyakizaka46 posted a commemorative photo. The three mentioned members show off their smiles in the photo although fans are still voicing out their worry over their condition.

Hirate also hurt her right arm in the accident. She makes her comeback by burning the bandage in the MV of Break the Glass!, which is just the one she wore in the real life. This bandage is another link between her persona and character.

Wearing a different colour, Hirate is surrounded by other members in a circle and shouts to wake them from the state of slavery. Her "Mose" pose appears again in this MV, as the continuity of her pioneering role  in Silent Majority.

# data[].attributes.body
Confronted with enemies, Hirate attacks while her companions keep silence, hence she is overthrown by her others. This character repeats her character of the pioneering rebel in Silent Majority, but the bitterness of being objected by the companions is added to this one.

In the blog, the theme about 'being myself' is very similar to the lyrics of Solitude of Daybreak, adding authenticity to the song. She practices this concept by stopping updating blogs after this one, deepening the fusing of her persona and character.

Feelings are different every day...

Each day, each moment, seeing that moment's scenes, colours, objects, people's actions, their expressions.
Each day, each moment, one's body touched by that moment's wind, by its objects,

By the voices and sounds one hears.

There is much, much more, and I think a person's feelings will continue to casually change, as the days and months go by.

I want to treasure that heart.

Living in a world

Where time never stops...

I want to be honest with myself.

___________________________________________________

written evening 171214, posted 171215 00:25h

A recent photo from the Girls Locks radio show:

Techi went five months without posting to her blog, and when the post came, it was a poem that caused confusion and some alarm. The post was translated just after it was posted, but since I'm translating all her posts, I decided I had to do a version.
People worry that what she writes suggests she may follow her feelings away from Keyakizaka. This is possible, but I think mainly it just refers to her determination to stay true to her immediate and momentary feelings. Maybe she has to really feel things honestly to perform with the emotional intensity she does.

This post may be her non-apologetic apology for the summer. I don't want to go overboard, but, "Here I stand, I can do no other," is what she may be saying.

People have been worried by her use of boku for "I" in the last line, since it is generally a masculine pronoun. But many Keyakizaka songs use that pronoun, so it probably has no special significance here. One Japanese comment suggested that she chose it because it felt a bit less personal, and therefore less direct, than atashi/watashi.
People were also worried by the "much, much more," but I'm not reading it as referring to bad things, in particular, just the exciting and unsettling flow of daily change.

The poem seems to me mainly to refer to her own changing feelings, but it could also be talking about the changing feelings of others toward her, and her determination not to be untrue to herself just because other people don't like what her true feelings lead her to do.

People say it sounds like the lyrics of a song.

The post is not that easy to interpret, and my understanding of it is both tentative and slightly different from the translation we already have. Poems are like that, I guess.

There's lots of talk around about her dropping back from centre, or even graduating, but I myself expect (and hope) she will be there again for the next single. And the emotional roller-coaster ride may continue -- hopefully in a form that doesn't include her waking up in the morning feeling that she can't perform a certain song that day.
In a recent post, Neru said something that struck me: "When we have something, we don't want it. When we don't have enough of something, we come to desire it more!!! Aren't human beings strange!" This is probably just a general (and accurate) observation. But I couldn't help imagining Techi, perhaps contemplating getting away from all this, realizing she actually wants to be centre in Keyakizaka46 and do more amazing things with them on stage.

Just as a little addendum, I see that Hirai Ken has said that Techi didn't talk much during their collaboration, but it struck him when, as someone born in the 2000s, she referred to him as "someone born in the 1000s." He laughed that it put him in the same category as Minamoto no Yoritomo (~1200 AD).

Hirate sings that the nature of life is loneliness, which can only be understood without others' protection. Matched by the scene of wandering alone in the wilderness in the 24h Cosme advertisment, this song epitomizes Hirate's feature as a self-exiling rebel.

@Dill interesting idea about the prequel of Hiraishin. watching the 24h Cosme CM gave me a feeling from Hiraishin. (the hoodie and skirt)

got a few more screencap and they got some cool angle on Techi. She could be selling a new sneaker . (climbing out of the window, hiking on the trail and even soloed a big tree with a sneaker

After watching Techi's CM several times I still can't believe thats a CM for cosmetics brand, lol. I love the way Techi used and throw her lipstick at the end, slightly intimidating but so cool.

Anyway, while I'm on roll here, let me say I'd like to see Techi and Ske's Yuna together sometime. Not passing by in a TV show but on a project. I'm really curious to see what those two very promising teens would make.

That would certainly be something interesting. Also a Yin & Yang situation if you ask me. There's a completely different theme/style of performance I connect with either of them.

@Dill Which Yuna are you talking about? I'm assuming Obata, but I'm not sure.

I would love to see more SKE and Keyaki interactions though after Neru and Akarin appeared on Cream Quiz Miracle 9 together.

@ukifune interesting to know that's how Techi would like to spend her day

I don't know enough famous japanese people but I also wonder if you guys would like to see Techi (or anyone else, really) working with some specific person. Just curious though

I'd like to see her doing acting job? i really want to see her with hirose suzu. For me they give me sisters-vibe. And their shortcuts .

@Endu completely agree. And again we have Techi who has this cool/dark(?) image and is so shy and cute in private and Yuna, whom always smiles and is enthusiastic but gives me the feeling to be more mature and way more reserved than her image would suggest.

@Furukawa_Akane I have to admit Obata is the only Yuna I know from SKE. I often watch KII lods but I mostly recognize the faces, the songs and forget names and titles lol

@Hiraishin I just searched for Hirose Sizu and... whoa They do look alike with that haircut

That fan art is the cutest lol

@Dill Just confirming. lol I would love to see Ego (who's in the same team as Obata) interact with someone from Keyaki as well.

But somehow I really love the 24 cosme ad. And the song as well

Techi center again! Congrats! I listened to the radio rip of the 6th single and it sounds pretty good, and I've seen the dance preview, it's so "Techi" haha Now I think I have a good feeling about this single, and I'm ready to see powerful & cool Techi killing it on stage like usual >.<

well
well.. sadly there's no MV for her song

I feel really sad seeing people dislike techi. She doesnt deserve all these hates from other people. I mean those are management's. Why she always get blame?

^
agree,but sadly a girls who got over push from management intent got bashed from peoples,same as jurina at her early days.not just in 48/46G world only,i remember when this happen to ayame gouriki as well in 2013 iirc.Also theres a few KYK46 members who good at dance,but no one have a good aura as techi imo

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference/apathy." So, if fans said they hate Tecchi, but they're still bashing her, read news about her, and watch her video, that means...

@Dill interesting idea about the prequel of Hiraishin. watching the 24h Cosme CM gave me a feeling from Hiraishin. (the hoodie and skirt) got a few more screencap and they got some cool angle on Techi. She could be selling a new sneaker .

After the release of Lightning Rod MV, Hirate starts to wear the hoodie frequently in various public occasions. Its connotation of rebellion and isolation in the MV character is brought into the persona of Hirate.

Hirate walks alone from the tunnel to the lake, wearing a hoodie written with “Nature/culture”. Then other members follow her to the lake and dance in the water. This MV marks the transition of her character from the misfit to the pioneer.

Hirate considers the misfortunes in 2017 as inspiration to her performance. The confession about her mental state when recording Monday Skirt shows that she blends her real-life experience into the performance, making it authentic self-expression rather than role playing. Therefore, the boundary between her persona and character is eliminated.

Hirate Yurina of Keyakizaka46

120-minute interview talking about her encounter with Fukyouwaon, the first national tour, her feelings toward the other members, and the new single, Kaze ni Fukaretemo.

I guess this was a year in which I faced myself. And came to understand myself a bit

-- Our previous interview was in February. Since then, you have had your first outdoor live, you have produced numerous works, and above all you have had your first national tour. In asking you about these things one by one, I very much want to know what Hirate-san has been thinking over the almost eight months since our last interview, as you continue to stand there in the centre of Keyakizaka46. Now I hope to hear from you in detail about these things.

: Really, all kinds of things happened. I feel as if even more things happened than at the time of SaiMajo ( Silent Majority) last year. Last year, all kinds of things happened for Keyakizaka46 as a whole. This year, it was to Hirate Yurina that things happened.

-- Thank you very much for appearing at Rock In Japan this summer.

-- So you never think: "I'll just do it the way I always have."

: No, they didn't. One period of time ends and things suddenly change, but then other worries come to hound me, and I still can't get any relief (laughs).

-- Over this year, maybe you gradually came to accept that that's your nature, and this is your profession, and there will always be something you can't escape.

-- If that's how you are, do you like it or hate it?

: Because it's so difficult, I hate it. But when it suddenly shows up in song lyrics, I really feel like: "What's going on here?" Just when I'm thinking something, I find myself singing a song about it, so it's easy to express what's in the song. People say I become someone, or recently that I'm possessed, but it's not that I turn into anything, it's that the song fits me. It's like I'm just being myself

this -- Up to now, as far as the self you want to become is concerned, the feeling of "if it isn't way, it's no good" has been pretty strong. Over this past year, perhaps you have become aware of things like, "If I just work as hard as I can, things around me will catch up to me," or:"The situation will catch up to me and solve the problem."

: As for that, in doing School of Lock, I came in contact with high-school students like myself, and middle school students. Being in high school was important, I guess. The me in Keyakizaka is a different self...although it's connected. High school is the time when your feelings are the most changeable, and lots of people tell me it is "an important time," so I think I have to treasure it.

There are a lot of things I would prefer not to think back on. But as I think about it now, those things were definitely important for me.

was the easiest song to sing, and I had been working on it all along, but it was only by getting into the mood with Fukyouwaon that my voice finally emerged. The first time, my voice was terrible, but I gradually got it back, and two or three days later I did the recording. So that song is big for me. Because I was angry, my voice came out (laughs). That happens to me a lot. I often get power from being angry, etc.

-- So you're someone who doesn't evade her own emotions. It's tough to be moved by anger. Although I think people can be moved by enjoyment, it seems Hirate-san is going to continue to be like this.

We recorded Getsuyoubi no Asa, Sukaato wo Kirareta as soon as my voice came out, so probably there was anger built up in me. At the point where I was saying "What do you know about me?" I was told I could go ahead and just let out all my feelings, and I got a lot of praise for it. My Coffin ( Jibun no Hitsugi) was like that, too. If I hadn't gone through all that, I don't think Getsuyoubi no Asa, Sukaato wo Kirareta could have happened. I don't think I could have performed it like that. Thinking about it now, it may have been a very important experience.

: I don't know at all. I just don't remember. There were times when I really felt the gaze of everyone around me. I felt as if people were telling me things all the time, and I really didn't want to talk to anybody. It was then that the song Fukyouwaon came along. I didn't think: "What is this?" I just naturally felt "uh-huh, uh-huh...this is just how I feel," and went ahead and sang it.

Fukyouwaon-- Sometimes you need to work to get closer to a song's world. But with , your feeling was: "This is me right now."

: Ever since SaiMajo ( Silent Majority), the songs have felt like exactly what I'm thinking at the time. There was no feeling of having to become anything. I don't remember this, but apparently around the time of Futari ( Futari Saison) I was saying "I want to fall in love" all the time. I didn't notice this, myself. I was just doing it unconsciously.

: I guess without getting into the feelings of Fukyouwaon was like that, but to put it the opposite way, Fukyouwaon, there was no way I could get into its world . So generally I knew when I could do it and when I couldn't. When I was thinking, "Today I can't do it" [a live performance], I wouldn't have the confidence to do it. I was in a different mode. Because of that, it was really tough.

Fukyouwaon is an amazing song. Because if the singing just followed the words, it couldn't have become the song it is. I mean that if you didn't wear yourself down doing it, the song wouldn't work.

Yes. Maybe performing "that kid" suits me best. I think things like "that kid is amazing." So live performances are very difficult.

It's not that I turn into anything, it's that the song fits me. It's like I'm just being myself.

Fukyouwaon-- At Rock In Japan, you were wondering right up to the last minute whether or not to perform .

From time to time. To compare it with current lives. Like: "The dancing was so together then, but now it isn't." I show that to the members, and we do our best to achieve it.

album Masshiro no Mono wa Yogoshitakunaru, the key songs were probably the very Keyakizaka songs Getsuyoubi no Asa Sukaato wo Kirareta and Eccentric, and your solo song Jibun no Hitsugi. I think perhaps these three songs were in Hirate-san's mode.

Eccentric was surprisingly difficult. In the course of the tour, I came not to be able to perform it, and had all kinds of problems. Eccentric and Fukyouwaon are songs of a kind I am good at, in which I let loose my feelings. But I came not to be able to express anything but the songs in which my feelings are bottled up inside me. Do you know Dance Track 1? Throwing shoes, climbing stairs -- those are the kinds of feelings I am good at. But Eccentric is a difficult song.

Fukyouwaon, -- You said before about "that kid is amazing." Were you looking at someone like that, a self who isn't you, in Eccentric?

In Eccentric, what was inside me was a male protagonist. There were parts that I understood that way, where I was running away from things I hated. And there were places where it ended up as if I was thinking: "Let's just go for it."

When I'm able to do it properly, maybe I do become my Eccentric self. But right now I'm not sure what feeling I have. Now I think I get the feeling: "Okay. Eccentric. Here it is."

Jibun no Hitsugi -- Personally, I think that is an extremely accurate expression of one side of Hirate-san. What kind of song is it for you?

-- What's it like to perform?

-- At this point, I'd like to talk about the tour, particularly to hear about the performances you put forward your own ideas for.

Jibun no Hitsugi to Fukyouwaon made for a very heavy sequence, it seems to me. Rather than the pure motivation of "I want to do this no matter what," I think this was accompanied by a bit of a realization that "if we don't do this, it won't be Keyakizaka." What do you think?

​​​ ​I didn't want to end with W-KEYAKIZAKA no Uta. And everyone said the same thing. During the tour, I had been helped by everyone, and in getting closer to them I heard many ideas about which I thought: "Yes, that's true." I wanted to repay the kindness of all the support I had received up to then and fulfil everyone else's dreams, too. I thought my own dreams would be part of it, so I told them everything I wanted to do. When the performance began, I was very nervous. But it was great how everyone had such enthusiasm. We really wanted to astound the audience.

​​​ ​​​​​​ ​​There may have been some of that. When I was doing the live, I wanted to surprise people -- to give them goosebumps, even. There would definitely be some fans there who had come to every performance, and I wanted to shock even them. So on the last day only, we did a double encore. We wanted to do something different from the usual Fukyouwaon. We'd said we wanted to try it ever since Keyaki Republic, so that was wonderful. If we hadn't, maybe I wouldn't have wanted to go on stage.

It's not that I have those kinds of feelings toward things that wear me down. It's probably just that I'm always wanting to really do things. I say: "If we're not going to do something amazing, I don't want to go out there."

I definitely wanted to do it. I thought it felt real. And I wanted to think up something even better for the next time. Although I was still at a loss how to do it (laughs).

People who come to our lives aren't just seeing idols. We want to make lives where people feel we are "trying to convey something"

-- When you get a song, you have to memorize it, then memorize the choreography to sing it with, and you have to think deeply about every aspect of how to get the song's appeal across, and what you want the song to convey. You have to put your utmost energy into it. And if you don't do this, Hirate-san can't perform, correct?

-- This may be a grandiose way of saying it, but you take responsibility. As far as "this is what Keyakizaka is," I think this is one of the most important aspects of its essence. And you do not want to turn your eyes away from it. But I think there must be other things said than just the personal thing of "I want to fulfil my own desires and my ideal."

Jibun no Hitsugi-- In going from to Fukyouwaon, a shot rings out, and you're smeared with blood, and then Fukyouwaon starts, with its line "shot at by my friends." And from there, "The End" appears on the monitors. There aren't many artists who could perform this, and Hirate-san was there to carry the core of it. It wasn't a matter of "this staging is good," but of "it had to be this way." It had a feeling of necessity.

-- Was the image of that staging always there? In Hirate-san's mind?

-- To return to what we were saying before, it was a really exhausting tour. The schedule was tough, and as we said before, it carried right on from making the album. But you were able to overcome all this and produced a terrific show that was like you, that really showed you at your best. I think this experience must have great meaning for Hirate-san. What is it that remains with you from this tour?

It was the first time I had told the members what I really felt. "I can't perform this. I'd like you to help me." And they all helped me enormously.

So what does that mean? The song was something new for Keyakizaka, and in a way it was very difficult for me. In thinking about the male protagonist, I thought, "He has been a bit in love before," and: "She has probably blown away somewhere?" I thought: "Something must have happened." I wanted to meet him and see.

Eccentric-- So this was different from how you faced earlier songs like and Fukyouwaon, then.

I wasn't used to it (laugh). I wasn't used to it and it felt strange. I thought: "Maybe I'll stay like this."

-- Up to now, I doubt that "to enjoy things is a victory" was something you would say, or even think. I really doubt that you would think you could live in that way.

-- In a sense, this song has a positive message. But there are various things beneath the surface, and various kinds of life. Aren't you singing about having gotten through the kind of time we've been talking about?

It was good that this next song was like that. After the tour was over, I felt a bit relieved. Whether my what we call "bonds" with the members are right or not, I don't know. But I feel as if we got through something together. And this song was right in the middle of that, so I think we all enjoyed singing it. But it's true that there is a me who can't relax if the song doesn't have a strong message. In Fukyouwaon I looked into the camera and delivered messages like "I hate this" and "resist more!" This time I did sometimes wonder: "What should I be trying to communicate here?"

-- Up to now, you'd say: "My feelings just don't go along with getting up in front of people and singing a positive message like this." I think there was always a self that would say: "I can't go in front of people and sing something like: 'Keeping things vague is so cool!'" But now you can sing it. Especially over the past year, when you have experienced pressure and pain and exhausting difficulties, and have gotten through them. There must be some kind of savings account of life in this song. But when you sing a positive song with a smiling face, there aren't just the words on the surface: beneath them, everything spreads out and you have to convey it all. Isn't that somewhat how it is?

-- A song that doesn't wear you down?

: To say it in a word, the beings called "members" may be huge here. To be seen by the members, to be able to talk with the members, to be accepted by the members. I can't explain it very well, but I got through the tour by talking with the members. Maybe it was by opening my heart to them.... Up to now, maybe I didn't properly look at them. It's probably connected with Fukyouwaon and Getsuyoubi no Asa Sukaato wo Kirareta. During that period, all kinds of things happened. It really felt long. Now I think how much fun it is to be with the members.

: You could say that. But if another song like Fukyouwaon came along, everyone would know the me from around the time of Fukyouwaon, and I'm sure they would understand. I would want them to understand. I told the members my honest feelings for the first time. "I can't perform this. I would like you to help me." That took a lot of courage to say. But from there everyone helped me tremendously. The tour was the first time I had spoken my real feelings. Many times, members came to the dressing room and said: "I want to speak with Hirate." And I spoke with them honestly. "I can't do it," I said. They truly all supported me and saved me, on this tour.

-- Hahaha. And you really did it.

: I just naturally rebel right away. If someone tells me, "Do this now," I say: "No, now I'm doing this!" (laughs)　I can't live in a straight world.

-- Maybe Hirate-san is actually too straight .

-- Previously, I wrote: "Writing lyrics and writing music are amazing. But those have no necessary connection with Keyakizaka46. Writing is wonderful, it's an amazing thing, but those are in a sense being made to order , and I think what is really being expressed is, more than anything, the way of living of the person called 'Hirate'. "

-- I see. I thought the same thing during this interview. Thank you very much for today.

Sorry for the long delay in getting this out. The magazine came out on 30 October. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my own copy of the original text. This follows a Chinese translation.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On her KochiHoshi radio show last Friday, Hirate Yurina came clean about how much she hates class and studying, and how bad she is at it.

A letter came from a listener: "I'm a high school girl from Tokyo. We recently had a test at school. I ended up with a mark of 19 (I'm crying)...and of course a make-up test. What can I do to be able to study? If you know, please tell me."

Hirate: To be frank, I'm terrible at studying, too. (laughs)

It's really no good (laughs). I'm also worrying what I should do (laughs).

But you wrote that you got 19 on the test. I think that's totally okay.

I've recently been thinking how much fun school is. Talking with everyone and so on.

But I really hate studying in class. I just hate it. What I hate most is those print-outs you get passed, and the test-papers to fill in that we got right from the start.

The worst thing is that from the beginning, I was put in the very front seat. I hate it so much that I wrote the line from the beginning of Getsuyoubi no Asa, Sukaato wo Kirareta: "Why do I have to go to school?" (laughs)

I really deeply hate it. After that there's the line: "A teacher with a forced smile talks about fake love." I wrote that, too.

I really don't know why my seat has to be there. Right when I entered the school, the teacher put me in the middle of the front row, right up against the teacher's desk. Right in the middle.

I wondered why I always had to be right in the middle, and so on. I just hate studying. Maybe my marks are so bad because it's a private school.

But my attitude isn't that good, either. I've said some pretty bad things (laughs). Really.... But I think it's okay. Being eccentric is good, I think.

In the answer column on a print-out, I wrote straight out: "I think this is wrong. This doesn't get across what you want to get across to the students." I don't know what the teacher thought when they read that (laughs). But I think it's good to be eccentric.

So then, here's Keyakizaka46, " Eccentric".... (song plays)

Um, high-school girl from Tokyo, let's both do our best to study! As for studying, I think...Japanese is important and I will work hard at that.

And I'll do my best to improve my attitude toward studying. We all have difficulties in our lives. Let's do our best!
________________________________________________________________

Techi seems to be just the student every teacher fears. Not able to do the work, not willing to try, and cheeky about it all. I hope she does learn to do enough to get by.
I understand why they want to keep such a difficult student up where the teacher can keep an eye on her, but I wonder if giving her a little anonymity might be a good thing: putting her back among the other students. Maybe she would settle down. And maybe not.
Japanese commenters put her down with words like "rebellious period" and "chuunibyou" (middle-school sophomore disease).

But I must admit to a sneaking admiration of how Techi is living her songs. Lots of commenters loved it, too -- while others made fun of her for believing the songs and talked about her getting over it and becoming an adult. Those latter comments made me feel sad: people expressing pride at having been beaten down. I guess that's the point of the songs: adults are defeated and false and kids act freely and honestly. It may be necessary to become more like a responsible adult, but how much freedom and joy do you lose when you do that? Akimoto-sensei?
Here's the radio show. And here's a news post with the transcript of this part of it.

At a handshake event for idol group Keyakizaka46 on June 24, a flare was ignited and the local fire department was contacted, Sanspo reports.

According to the group's website, the event was held at Makuhari Messe venue in Chiba City to commemorate a CD release.

The Municipal Fire Department reported that fire extinguishers were used to quell the flames and no one was injured.

According to Chibanishi Police Station, the man ignited the flare at the designated storage area. He was initially arrested under suspicion of violating established firearms laws, but once apprehended, he was found to be in possession of a paring knife*. Fans that attended the event claim the flare was thrown into one of the handshake lanes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkckg4dTjC0

At the entrance of the hall, there were security measures in place via metal detector, but no careful inspections pertaining to the contents of bags were had.

The man in question was identified as a 24-year-old unemployed man from Sapporo City. He revealed the female member he intended to harm, though her name has not been released publicly.

" I wanted to stab and kill her," he told officials.

The event was temporarily suspended due to the problems, but resumed shortly after.

In the past, events like these have been put under scrutiny for endangering the members of idol groups. In July 2014, AKB48 members Rina Kawaei and Anna Iriyama (as well as a staff member and fans present at the event) were attacked by a crazed man wielding a saw. In May of 2016, idol Mayu Tomita, formerly of Secret Girls fame, was at an event in Koganei City when a man stabbed her over 20 times before an event, putting her in cardiac arrest.
*A paring knife, or fruit knife, is a small all-purpose knife with a plain edge blade that is ideal for peeling and other small or intricate work.
