Story and interview after her appearance at the "Tokyo Tower Taiwan Festival 2019" held on February 10.

"It was snowing when we arrived in Japan, "What if we were tomorrow if it was snowing, I was worried that the customers would come to the event," but today it was sunny and a lot of people came I was really happy.

- I usually work in Taiwan, do you have anything you would like to eat in a shop that is open today?

I love radish rice cake, but in Taiwan it is only sold at the morning meal shop. The shop is doing from 4 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock in the morning, so you can eat only when you get up early. So, I have not yet eaten today, but I am looking forward to see if I can eat it later (laugh)."

And about Kanji vs Chinese characters:
"- In today's MC, the appearance that Taiwanese words and Japanese are mixed is impressive, "Is that what it will be?"

Both of them use the same kanji, so there are cases in which the Japanese does not come out "What is this?" (Laugh). I did not expect it to be like this, so I am surprised myself."

An interview. Here are a few excerpts.

"――What kind of activities does Team TP do?

Abe:　48 group is basically a theater performance, but there is no theater yet and it is a lesson every day. When I have no work, I attend lessons.

There are 33 members now, and they made a single debut in December, but 12 selected members (more than 16 in Japan). But the media on the other side is not used to large groups, and when it comes to television it is six or two people. As all the staff in Taiwan do not know much about AKB 48, I explain that I am such a group.

--- How did you learn Chinese?

Abe:　I went to the temple about 2 hours a day. But the teacher can not speak Japanese! So he teaches in English, but I can not speak English in the first place.

--- It has been about half a year since it debuted as Team TP. How is it?

Abe:　I did the handshake event, but in Japan, only uncles came to me, but in Taiwan many girls came to visit. My student's friend brings me only one handshake ticket. Happy. In AKB, it was natural for a handshake event, but after releasing a CD in December of last year, it seems that I finally became able to communicate with the fans at the handshake event and realize that the members are also idols."

It depends on the language. Google sees the page as being in Chinese, but she wrote in Japanese.

Translate this from "Chinese" in translate.google. Then translate it from Japanese.

わたしは小さい頃からカッコイイ女の人に憧れる傾向にあり、私自身もカッコイイ人、憧れられるような人になりたいと思ってきました
