Finally got around to Ayumu’s Q&A in Famitsu App~ This felt even longer than Kasumi’s, though I’m not sure if that’s actually true… Let me know if you have errors or corrections to report.

Being frank, how has it been, working with Famitsu App?

Have you gotten used to helping out at Famitsu App?

Am I… used to it? If I’m really helping everyone out here, then I’d be glad, but is that so? Am I being useful here?

On the other hand, if I’m just dead weight, would you please tell me? Because I’ll try even harder if that’s so!

What are your thoughts on working with us?

I always read these articles on a casual basis, so to see how they’re made has been really informative!

I’ve only been helping out a little after school, so I haven’t seen all of the process behind writing these articles, but seeing bits of work coming together to become incredible pieces gives me the courage to work hard.

I’m the type that can’t help but move forward a step at a time, so when I look around, there’s this feeling of impatience, but once everything is complete, I get this feeling of “wow, that’s amazing!”.

What motivated you to work with Famitsu App?

Lately, my friend and I have been playing a lot of mobile games and reading about them on Famitsu App, so it shows up in my life the most.

But a bit of it was also just to see if I could learn anything about new games… ehehe.

When you’re working at Famitsu App, what do you talk about with Ai-chan and Rina-chan?

With Ai-chan, I talk a lot about new apps. Ai-chan’s incredible! She knows so much about them! When we talk about things like how to best make use of social apps, it’s really exciting.

With Rina-chan… we don’t really talk that much, but she puts a smile on her board, so maybe she’s having fun when we talk…?

Once you started helping out at Famitsu App, were your studies still fine?

Yes! I’m saying that so energetically, but I might not have been able to deal with this alone.

Actually, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with school once I started working, so my friend ended up studying with me…

Having the opportunity to work here, to learn so much, and even more, to study together with my friend… I’m really glad, now that I think about all this.

It seems like people are enamored with your wonderful smile and hard-working nature.

T-that’s not true! Oh no, my face is getting red—. *fans self*

I’m happy to hear people say that! Thank you! But, I’m smiling because everyone around me is smiling as well. So, I’m really happy to be able to work here! Though it’s only been a short time, I’ll be trying my best from here on out, so I look forward to continuing to work with everyone!

What do school idols mean to Ayumu-chan?

Why did you start being a school idol?

To be honest, I wasn’t really good with doing things in front of people, but an important friend taught me about school idols.

She’s playing a supporting role to me right now, but we have the same goal, and when she talks about reaching for that dream, it makes me very, very happy…!!

When I decided that I want to try my best with her, that’s when it started!

Being honest, what are your appeal points as a school idol?

Appeal points, huh…? My friends would say that “she puts her all into everything”, but anyone can be like that, you know.

And when I look at the others, I think that I really have to practice singing and dancing more…

Ah, when it comes to my desire to delight our fans, I think I won’t lose to anyone on that front! I definitely can’t lose to anyone there.

What kind of school idol do you want to become?

We’ve been able to bring a lot of energy to the friend that taught me about school idols.

So I want to be able to make the people who come to see us really excited like that—that’s the kind of school idol I want to become!

From now on, what activities do you want to do as a school idol?

A live show! After all, it’s an opportunity to get close to our fans, so I think it really is important!

Becoming one with our fans, creating a dream-like atmosphere with our concert… wouldn’t that be a wonderful experience!
