Interview with images

After graduating from the idol group "SKE48", she took on the challenge of acting as an actress, performing in a recitation drama in "The Eraser in My Head 14th Letter", in a comedy in the stage play "Ability Eleven", and as a voice actress in the TV anime "Kizuna no Allyl". Nao Furuhata will release her first solo single after graduating, "Kagi no Arika", on August 16th. This single, which also includes "Moonlight parade", which she tried to write lyrics for the first time, will start solo artist Nao Furuhata!

──You graduated from SKE48 on September 30, 2022. It's been about a year since then, and during that time I think I've faced many new challenges as an actress, such as comedies and voice work. What was the last year like?

“There were many challenges, and up until now, I was living my life as an idol, Nao Furuhata, but from now on, I’m going to walk my own life in the truest sense, or rather, I’ve walked while thinking, I think it was a year that changed the way I deal with

──With the business card <SKE48's Nao Furuhata> gone, I think there are more opportunities to pursue responsibility, and more opportunities to choose what you want to do.

Like you said, you can really make a lot of choices for yourself, and that's something I've never done before, so there are a lot of things to worry about when making choices. Until now,
　I felt like I was going to choose from among the things that were given to me and move forward.Now it's more like I'm going to grab it myself.There are more options than ever before. There's a lot of it, and that's why I get scared sometimes, but no matter what I choose, no matter how I fall, I'm doing it while thinking, 'It's what I decided, so it's okay.'"
