    I’ve said it before on LINE Live that I graduated from the group to become from an idol to an actress. To be an actress, I thought that the role required (the hair) to be dyed. I want to fully live up the role that was given to me. But whatever I look like, I am still who I am
    It’s not gray, okay? (LOL)

    Turning Point

    I’m sorry because it’s been a long time since I posted

    Thank you for Tokyo Girls Collection 2017 yesterday!

    [​IMG]
    I was allowed to walk through the runway during Kimono “Itsuwa” stage

    The stage of TGC that I look up to since I was a child, I was really really nervous because it was too glorious, but it was a great honor to have my name placed like this with all of the wonderful casts. It was over in blink of an eye I will do my best to be famous again as an actress and return to this place!!

    Together with Kojima Ruriko-san who was appointed by Itsuwa-san, I will be appearing in the catalog so please get it

    [​IMG]
    As I was the only one underaged, I was prepared with a colorful kimono full of freshness towards the Coming Of Age ceremony on the upcoming year ♡

    I’ve also made my hair very short, by the wonderful magic of the stylist and the make-ups, I turned into a flamboyant furisode form

    It made me feels good (LOL)

    [​IMG]
    I met many people during yesterday’s TGC so I’ll post the photos ☆

    [​IMG]
    Brother Obata-san whom I went to Mugendai Hall to see his performance live when I was in AKB!
    At that time, Obata-san was still active as a combi, but I was surprised to see his big break on TV!

    Well

    [​IMG]
    Been into Shizuru-san’s live one, but co-starring with Shizuru-kan? Trendy Angel’s Takashi-san who made me laughs! I was glad that he remembered me, but when I said that Ishida Anna-san was here, he said「Anna-chan? Anna-chan is here? Where is Anna-chan?」and left,,, (laughs)

    I like the usual Takashi-san who loved Idols (LOL)

    [​IMG]
    Itagaki Mizuki who fought alongside me during the long audition for the movie 「Solomon’s Perjury」. Mizuki splendidly won the main cast audition, he played the role of Kanbara in the movie. The 2 of us Solomon Team that didn’t look younger (LOL), having this different kind of bond is amazing after all, we both spoke as if we met our childhood friend somewhere. (LOL)

    Seeing everyone who passed the Solomon audition starting to appear on TV more and more gave me encouragement everyday. Mizuki is also one of them. I will also do my best not to lose from everyone!

    It seems that there were several Team 8 members, but due to the timestamp I wasn’t able to meet them, but it’s really a pleasure to be able to meet the people you know in the same workplace.

    And then what everyone told me was,,

    「Eh!? Karen-chan!? I didn’t noticed!」

    Like that

    Yesterday was actually the first time I showed my very short hair. Leave the fact that my lips was blue,, LOL Everyone didn’t seem to notice my transformation. (LOL)

    So, I have been reborn!

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    I always had a bob haircut, but I cut the hair that has been growing recently. It’s the first time in my life that I cut it this short.

    To be honest it was quite a challenge for me and I was worried whether everyone would accept it.

    The people whom I worked with told me that if it’s too short, wearing a wig is also okay. But I talked about it with my agency, since the role was given to me, I told them that I wanted to do it. Fortunately, there was no work-related ties that required to be in my previous hairstyle, and because the person in front also wanted it to be my real hair if possible,,

    So in this occasion! So I resolved.
    I wanted to shorten my hair like this once, to be able to also dye it for the role makes me happy

    However, as expected, everyone has a lot of opinions that the previous one was better.

    I was able to do works as they were before. If I continue to walk the secured path that I’ve been walking until now, nobody is going away and I might be supported as usual.

    However, it’s not surprising. I cannot convey my feelings.

    “A lukewarm water that cannot excel”

    I wrote this a little bit on Twitter before, but it’s frightening to change. Challenging new things is frightening.

    But even so, I chose this.

    I’ll be happy if everyone understands that feeling even if it’s just a little.

    I think that there are thoughts like the previous one was better, I love the fluffy Karen-chan. But for me, it’s not about whether it fits or doesn’t fit, cute or not cute, I thought about what I should do now and decided.

    I’m sorry, but there are so many pretty girls who have fluffy black hair like in 48G, if you don’t like my current self no matter what, you may as well switch over now. You’ll do it even if I didn’t tell it. (LOL)

    I’m sorry, I will swing into the future
    I want you to see the various faces of the actress Iwata Karen.

    Iwata Karen, weak and troublesome, stubborn and doing crazy things, there are a lot of people who believe and follow such actress who is too tiring to be supported. By the way, it’s “Iwata Family”. I’ll say IwaFami for short. These people, no matter how much I’ve changed, no matter what happened, they will follow me as long as I am being who I am. That’s why I believe these people and I love them.

    By the way, anyone can enter IwaFami as long as you liked me even if it’s just a little. (LOL)

    It’s always the blog that is used to say what I want to say. (LOL)
    Twitter has a fixed number of characters, because I often turned around when I missed some words, blog is the best way to do this kind of thing.

    I am worried if the words I’ve written so far produced weird misunderstandings, though. (LOL)

    Of course I’m not denying black fluffy haired woman. I have been mostly like that until now (don’t mind whether it’s fluffy or something else ←), because I also love cute girls. ← Hey

    Well, when that role comes, I might return to long black hair, so please support me again when that time comes. (LOL)

    I might become rainbow mohawk, too (laughs)

    This time, the role that requires me to cut my hair, I will put my soul in it, I hope this turns into a nice wind direction!

    Because there will certainly be people who said that this one is better than before, please follow me from now on!! Thank you very much for reading my blog which only says things that aren’t cute every time!!!

    Of course, to much our surprise, she cut her hair really short, like she has said on her twitter and blog, it was for the role that was given to her. I'm curious of what's her next work that made her cut and dyed her hair, must've been a work that she hasn't had before. Hopefully something like a movie or a drama. :omfg:

    Now she looks full ikemen mode, Harem King Iwataka Ren returns. :lol:

Projection mapping and the directing was also wonderful. After I was this kind of work, I think I wanted to be born as a man (laughs) I wonder if people wanted to see the female version of Messiah. I want to do a sword fight!

    The moisturizing cream that was introduced by a friend of mine who is a make up artist feels really good! It’s about 3 days after I started using it but it continues to moisturize and acne also starts to disappear (*´꒳`*)

    The blog of Miyagi Reconstruction has also been updated!

    Source: http://www.fukkomiyagi.jp/report/【いわたかれん復興フォトvol-4】無私の心-広がる東/

    【Iwata Karen Reconstruction Photo VOL.4】Selfless Heart Spreads through Tohoku

    Good afternoon! This is Iwata Karen ^ ^
    This year’s summer was gloomy, wasn’t it (>_<)
    This time, it was actually raining during the day when I was shooting. But when I shut the shutter, the rain temporarily stopped ^ ^
    With the help of the Gods, we can carry on with the shooting this time!

    The first place that I went to this time, is this person’s house. Even so, no one lives there now.

    [​IMG]
    Suzuki Eiji-san, 76 years old, who lives in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture. Suzuki-san, before the earthquake back in 1996, built one big house in a village in the land that can be seen from Sendai airport to the sea side at that time.

    The height to the second floor is about 10 meters.
    But the dark wave during that day couldn’t reach that height.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    The waves hit Suzuki-san’s house mercilessly, the cars parked outside were swept to the room in the middle.

    Suzuki-san evacuated to the airport building, all his relatives were safe, but in Kitakama District where the damage of the tsunami was enormous, 56 residents lost their lives.

    Even though it was hit by such tsunami, Suzuki-san’s house was standing firmly without being swept away. The insides were messed up. Seeing that the only thing left from the house was only the framework, Suzuki-san decided to leave the house.

    Suzuki-san told me that he will help the reconstruction for Natori City in the future. As part of this plan, he proceed to plant approximately 500,000 pine trees as the coast revitalization project in 10 years from this 100 ha of Suzuki-san’s old house to the sea.

    There are words that left an impression to me in Suzuki-san’s story.

    「Even if my own fortune was hit, I will work hard for this town」

    There was a similar word in the movie “The Magnificent Nine” * , about the true story that happened in the Tohoku region of the Edo period, which I had previously appeared.
    I don’t think about my interests for the town.
    It was a movie with a theme of selflessness.

    (*note: “The Magnificent Nine” is the international title for “Tono, Risoku de Gozaru!”)

    Again, I’m proud of being born in Tohoku, witnessing the “selflessness” still being transmitted to Tohoku since the Edo Period.

    As long as there’s someone like Suzuki-san, I think that the reconstruction of Tohoku will proceed in a good direction.
    And then we don’t rely just on 1 person like this, we have to convey this will to future generations.
    Suzuki-san’s old house is still standing largely along the coast of Kitakama District.

    Next I headed to Sasanao’s old office and factory.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Sasanao was founded in the fifth year of Taisho Period, it’s a long-established shop that was manufacturing and selling sasa-kamaboko in Yuriage District.
    Before the earthquake, there were about 110 people who worked in this factory where many people worked.

    However, this old Sasanao office was hit by 8.5 meter of big tsunami, and its appearance was turned to be horrible.
    In the 32th year of Heisei Period, the restoration work in Yuriage district is planned to be completed, unfortunately the plan seems to be demolished in the meantime.

    The cloudy sky suddenly became clear.

    [​IMG]
    It’s been 6 years since the earthquake.
    Reconstruction of the affected area has advanced considerably, and places that seems to have never had that tragedy have increased.
    It seems like a good thing, but even now, there are still too many places are left behind since that day.

    But even in that place, the sun rises and light shines.

    I’ve made up my heart to continue to transmit Tohoku “As it is now” through the photographs in the future, behind the remains of the earthquake lit by the sun below the blue sky.

    Iwata Karen
    Actress from Miyagi Prefecture. Graduated from AKB, I want to tell about the 「Present」 condition of the disaster area, so I started to learn about photography.

    She ranked 10th in the ranking of Young Musical Actress (under 25)!! Alongside Tano Yuka (9th) and Ikuta Erika (2nd)

    I'm glad they are being recognized and that is what matters :):)

    Iwata Karen Reconstruction Photo VOL.5】Arahama Elementary School and Mount Hiyori

    Good afternoon everyone. This is Iwata Karen.
    It’s been cool recently, it’s totally autumn ^ ^

    This time I visited Miyagi Prefecture Sendai City Wakabayashi Ward, earthquake remains of Sendai municipality, Arahama Elementary School.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    This Arahama Elementary School was hit hard by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and this year it began to be released publicly as an earthquake disaster ruins.

    On the day of the earthquake, before the school ends, all the children were evacuated to the schoolyard.
    However, by the Principal’s decision, who has heard about the tsunami warning, all the students and staff went to the roof of the school.

    Shortly afterwards dark waves hit Arahama Elementary School, the school was flooded up to the second floor.
    The Principal’s instant decision has saved the lives of 320 children, staffs and residents.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Now as the earthquake remains, the rescue of all 320 people who evacuated has progressed, they have gathered the image and displayed the scenery before the earthquake as a model.

    There’s also this space.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    It is a reproduction of the state inside the classroom on the day of the earthquake.
    Since I also temporarily lived in evacuation center, my memory of six years ago is revived.

    A few rice balls.
    Kanpan that was shared with everyone.
    An inconvenient toilet.

    In such situation, everyone were desperate of how to live tomorrow.
    Even with one grain of tasteless rice, we felt so much gratitude.
    There were also areas where rice balls and food were not enough.
    It was extremely cold during March in Tohoku.
    It was definitely snowing on the day of March 11th. We gathered together at the cold gymnasium and kept body temperature even a little.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    When I went to the classroom, strong messages were received from the blackboard.

    「Thank you for protecting the children」「Thank you, don’t lose!」「We always love you! Arahama Elementary School」「Revive, Arahama Elementary School!」

    There were a lot of messages that would make my heart warm just by reading them.
    Arahama Elementary School that protected the children even if it has become messy.
    I met the local residents, including the guardians, who will continue to love the earthquake remains forever.

    Next I headed to Gamo District, Miyagino Ward, Sendai City where there is「The highest mountain in Japan」!!!
    … not, it’s 「The “lowest” mountain in Japan」. (LOL)

    [​IMG]
    I was also wondering how it is,, when I see it doubtfully,,

    [​IMG]
    I arrived at the start of the mountain path!!!

    Okay! I’ll do my best and climb it!

    [​IMG]
    Huh?
    I reached the summit in 7 steps.. (LOL)
    I see, so this is the lowest mountain in Japan,, (LOL)

    Mount Hiyori’s height is only 3 meters.
    It’s Japan’s lowest mountain which name is also written in the topographic map of the Geographical Survey Institute.

    However, there was an unknown story of Mount Hiyori that overcame the earthquake

    Mount Hiyori was long recognized as the lowest mountain in Japan, 6.5 meters above sea level.
    However, after that, Mount Tenpo in Osaka was supposed to be 4.5 meters and Mount Hiyori’s top spot was taken.

    [​IMG]
    And then it’s March 11th.
    The tsunami in Gamo district was so terrible, most of the houses and big trees were lost.
    Of course, Mount Hiyori also suffered a lot of damage.

    However, it was not all bad.
    According to the survey by the Geographical Survey Institute in 2014, the height of Mount Hiyori was confirmed to be 3 meters. Mount Hiyori returned to the first place for the first time in 18 years.

    [​IMG]
    「Mount Hiyori that worked hard」, indeed.
    Mount Hiyori is still reassuring people in the Gamo district.

    Till then! :fear:

    Due to my agency’s policy, taking photo with customers and signing are not allowed, but I myself am glad to hear your voice, shake hands, and talk to everyone, I will respond as much as I can. I was glad to hear a lot of voices today, I think it’s better than just only coming ✨→

    To be able to appear in the event with other casts on a stall like this time, to be able to meet everyone in close distance more than usual, I was really happy. But today, there’s something that was a little bit disappointing. In any situation, I think being considerate to each other at the minimum is important. It’s just one person’s behaviour, so for others→

    There’s also the possibility that we can’t meet at a close distance. I hate that. Certainly, I often refuse to be photographed. I’m sorry about that. That was my agency’s policy.

    For other performers as well, I think that being considerate at the minimum is necessary, in order to make it a place where people could interact, to make everyone comfortable, please cooperate with each other to protect the manners so that everyone is comfortable. Nevertheless, almost all customers nicely protect the manners, so it’s a very pleasant 2 days→

    So she had a talkshow in Vietnam Culture Festival 2017 in Kurihara, while the event went well, apparently some people caused Karen to post several tweets about being considerate and to have manners during these kind of event. What a good girl!

    There's a fancam of the talkshow of 15 October:


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    In a related agency news, former AKB48 14th gen Uchiyama Natsuki joined HoriPro! More 48 OG joined in!

    Karen will be in HoriNS 2017, the annual HoriPro event which will be held on 14 December.

    Also, like Karen has tweeted before, Photographer AKIRA who took the pictures for her DVD posted 5 previously unreleased pictures of Karen, and they are lovely.

    Such Iwata who did facial expression, but recently, I thought that dehydration

    【Iwata Karen Reconstruction Photo VOL.6 】「Living with the Sea」

    Good afternoon everyone! This is Iwata Karen,

    This time I will introduce you Kesennuma City in Miyagi Prefecture.
    Speaking of Kesennuma, it’s a city with lots of seafood and the sea is beautiful, too.

    It’s a city that has conveyed the beauty of the sea and the charm of seafood to many people up until now.
    On the other hand, due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, the whole road was damaged by the tsunami.

    However, Kesennuma is gradually restoring its original beautiful cityscape.

    The first place I headed to was 「Shark Museum」in「Kesennuma Umi no Ichi」
    In Kesennuma City, the amount of shark catching is number one in Japan.
    Sharks and Kesennuma City have a long relationship from long ago.

    [​IMG]
    This Shark Museum uses a lot of exhibits and images to convey the horror of the earthquake and the bonds that Kesennuma and the sea have built up.

    The first thing that jumped into my eyes as I entered the entrance is a screen that shows messages sent by many people.
    A lot of voices wishing for the recovery of Kesennuma were received.

    [​IMG]
    And then the Shark Zone, where the powerful shark models that looked real were lined up. With the shark researches, we were introduced to the discoveries and the mysteries of sharks.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    In this way, by seeing various exhibits up close, you can experience the bonds with the sea that the people of Kesennuma have nurtured.

    [​IMG]
    Because it’s a museum where people of a wide age can enjoy, please drop by when you come to Kesennuma ^ ^

    The next place I headed was the “Dragon Pine”.
    What kind of pine, I wonder? I arrived on site with that question in mind, I can’t believe my own eyes.

    [​IMG]
    There’s a dragon in Kesennuma’s sea.

    Even until now, I was often taken away by the appearance that it was going to rise to the sky.

    This dragon pine seems to have appeared due to the miraculous remnant of a part of the pine trees which trunks and branches were damaged by the Tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

    It’s a mysterious thing.

    I have visited numerous Tohoku areas until now, but this was not the first time I saw a mystical earthquake remains due to the damage caused by Great East Japan Earthquake.
    Every time, I am surprised by the power of nature.

    People cannot resist disasters.
    The power of nature is much bigger than we think.

    It sometimes robs our smile without mercy.
    Ironically, however, the moment when our smile is back to us, is also the power of nature.

    Kesennuma is a city with a beautiful ocean.
    People in Kesennuma must have lived for decades, hundreds of years, thanking the blessings of the sea. However, on March 11th, 2011, that sea suddenly showed its fangs.
    Lots of things were certainly lost.

    But 6 years from that, today the sea of Kesennuma are sparkling gently like this.

    It’s not the sin of the nature.
    Our human race will perish without nature.
    That’s why, from now on, we will not lose to the disaster, we need to make use of this experience and prepare for countermeasures in case of emergency.

    I will live with the nature.

    I will live with the sea.

    Tohoku will not lose.

    Because it is the hometown that I can be proud of.

    IMO her writings are good and it made me moved somehow..

    Also, her best friend (read: waifu) Suuchan has announced graduation from SKE48 and showbiz..

    I think the reason of her retirement is....

    She wants to be a fully dedicated wife of Iwataka Ren. :hehe:

    Her tweet:

    Looking at the positive side, perhaps they can meet each other more often :1st:

    Also bonus two shots with other kouhai.

    【Iwata Karen Reconstruction Photo VOL.7】「To reserve」

    Good afternoon, this is Iwata Karen.
    It is completely winter and cold days continue.
    When this time comes, I greatly feel that I need to go back to Tohoku.

    The 7th year of Great East Japan Earthquake, March 11th, has been approaching again.
    Winter in Tohoku will be tough cold. Even though it’s piercingly cold, but the nostalgic time when the north wind shrugged, I remember the coldness of that night.

    It was also a cold day in Minamisanriku Town that day.
    On March 11th, 2011, during the wedding ceremony at 『Takano Kaikan』, the senior citizens were in the middle of performing art recital.
    Fierce tremors stroke the elderly people and the staffs who were on the 3rd floor. The story from that time was told by Ito-san who is currently preserving and managing the 「Minamisanriku Hotel Kanyo」as earthquake remains.

    [​IMG]
    It seemed that some of the elderly people were trying to go back home and trying to leave the evacuation site, but the staffs told them 「It’s not good to return, tsunami is coming. Let’s evacuate to the rooftop.」

    It’s the decision under the circumstances of cannot wait for the big tsunami warning announcement.

    Everyone was all hurried to the rooftop.
    The others, too, including local residents, there were about 327 people who evacuated in Takano Kaikan.

    And then, the dark wave that reached the height of the 4th floor hit the Takano Hall.
    The neighbouring hospital was swallowed.
    It seems that 74 people, including patients and staff, were sacrificed.

    The 327 people who were staying at Takano Kaikan were safely rescued.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    There are lots of things that were swept away in the Takano Kaikan.

    [​IMG]
    This is a picture of a toilet. The toilet that was separated between boys and girls, the walls have been washed away by the waves.

    An unusual sight that I haven’t seen before is telling about the horror of tsunami that is not fading away.

    Ito-san who has guided us up to here, also has a family.
    Her wife, and a daughter who has just born at that time.

    Despite escaping from the tsunami, living in the evacuation site as a family with a small child was really hard. But the ones who helped with that are the supplies from the people in Japan and all over the world.

    Besides diapers, milk, even food, people outside the prefecture sent a lot of supplies to the afflicted area.
    Because of everyone’s help, his daughter survived, as told with his tears on his eyes, Ito-san’s smile was overflowing with gratitude.

    I left the former Takano Kaikan, and set my feet to Minamisanriku Town Hall’s new government office.
    Utilizing the experience of the earthquake disaster, the new government building was built on a hill.

    [​IMG]
    You can feel the warmth of the wood of the building made out of the local wood 「Minamisanriku cedar」, it is built to allow the light from the outside to enter.

    It seems that it has acquired the 「Whole Project Certification」from the International Certification System FSC ® for environmentally conscious forest management.
    To obtain the Whole Project Certification, the FSC material accounts for more than 50% of the wood used for buildings, interior decoration and furniture, whereas the new government building uses 90% of the whole, and the Whole Project Certification is the first in the country as a public facility.

    The assembly hall also becomes a wonderful breakthrough place, too.

    [​IMG]
    It is the reliable hall where the people of Minamisanriku can comfortably live their life ahead in relief and firmly protect Minamisanriku Town.

    Reminder that Drama -Saki- Achigahen has started airing since yesterday. It will be a 4 episode short drama and will continue to a movie in January 2018. Karen will appear in both, although she hasn't appeared yet in the drama.

    Till then! :fear:

    It’s a usual thing, but even when I quit from AKB, the 48G anti threads are not stopping, but please don’t mind about that ( ˘ω˘ ) (laughs)
    Sometimes it’s impressive to be able to ignite fire in the place with no fire, but I’m just grateful that it became a topic ( ˘ω˘ ) I am loved ←

    It’s just that ego searching is a hindrance so I wish that my name is not put in the thread title (it’s not like that)

    I was moved to tears by the rose-colored MC. I didn’t expect to see the 4 members of The Yellow Monkey gathered live while I’m alive.
    Thank you for the great night.

    She put a lot of nice photos of herself <3

    She also congratulate AKB48 for the 12th anniversary and fellow musical cast Yamauchi Mizuki for her promotion to Team 4! :banana:

    She was interviewed in BOMB January 2018 Edition about her role in drama & movie -Saki- Achigahen:

    Transcript here

    ===================================================

    Blooming from cute character to unique character in 『-Saki- Achigahen』

    Compared to actresses, idols are chattery after all (LOL)




    Appeared as the role of Matano Seiko the vice captain of Shiratodai High School, the rival school in 『-Saki- Achigahen』. For the sake of creating the role, it’s the first time she cut her hair really short and colored the black hair that she protected.

    「Seiko in the original work has a very short hair almost like a monk and her hair color is mint green. Personally, I was ready to color my hair green, but this time the original creator has the intention to have a life-size feels to it, so I dropped the color and keep it like this. In the work where there are a lot of cute girls, I received the role of a little bit unique position, so the performance itself will make female fans aware of it」




    The director seems to express that it’s the role that only Iwata Karen can do, but what kind of person is Seiko?

    「I thought that she’s boyish, blunt, thinking of her juniors, has a good manner, and has a strong sense of responsibility. The fans of the original work analyze Seiko in details, that really helped a lot. Seiko is aware of herself, if she met someone greater than her, she got a strong mind. In addition, I think of myself as a late bloomer, and that part is really similar. I also believe that I can be popular in my late 20s (LOL)」



    What are the difficulties during the shooting?

    「It’s the mahjong scene after all. I was doing it with an application, but I had no hands-on experience. I am nervous because I can only take hands. I practiced with everyone about a month before the shooting… It was really fun. I never met them in the shooting even once, but there are people that became good friends with me during mahjong practice. Sakura Nao-chan from Team Syachihoko is strong (LOL). Our captain Hibi Mikoto is also strong. I was playing around with RaMu-chan the whole time. Compared to actresses, idols are chattery after all (LOL)



    Speaking of idols, HoriPro’s annual event 『HoriNS Thursday Festival 2017』 will be held on December 14th!

    「It’s obvious if you look at the members, but I think that it will be 48 festival. It is almost like an alumni association (LOL). Personally, this will be the last stage with Suuchan (Sato Sumire), so I want it to be memorable」

    She announced that she will be in a new stage play in 2018 as a main role! It also features Nakaya Sayaka as well.

    She will also appear in RAKUTEN Live Program tomorrow at 8pm JST, set a reminder!
