Matsui Rena Fans

"To Seira.
Since I can’t take part in today’s last Stage, I’ll express my feelings through this letter.We started together as 1st generation members, but you kept working hard as research student, unable to appear on Stage, didn’t you?Which is why, seeing you work so enjoyably after becoming a KII member, seeing you dance in such a cool way and do the gorilla as an S member, made me realize how wonderful you are.If you’re so well liked by members, is because you’re a great person and you pay attention to your surroundings more than yourselfBut the words you say, without any hesitation, happened to shine even during SKE shows.What I think is really amazing about you is your attitude towards dreams.Because you want to do gravure, you constantly try to keep your body in shape so that you would be ready to wear a swimsuit any time.And I find it so cool, that you straightforwardly express how that one is the path you want to follow.Which is why, I think that the happiest thing, in the future, will be to see your gravure! I remember how, in the past, you told me you were not even yet on the start line.This is the start.Chase after your dream from a new place, okay?Congratulations on your graduation.
Matsui Rena.”

The Re-Formation is over.
The changes exceeded my
expectations and
I myself feel very shaken right now.
I still haven’t managed to put order
to my feelings, but as a part of Team
E, I want to support our leader Akarin,
Suuchan and Marika.
Also, I got a concurrent position in
Nogizaka46 and well, there’s nothing
but things I don’t understand yet but
first of all I want to work hard so that
I’ll be recognized by both groups’
fans.
Well then, allow me to put my
feelings together and write something
more tomorrow.

This will be the final post for the look back at Nagoya Dome.

Lastly, I’m going to talk about the new song.
On Nagoya Dome’s stage, we filmed the MV
for our 14th Single: Mirai to wa?

However, this one was different from the usual MV shootings, and so was the song performance…because everything, from the song to the dance, were done in reverse! 

I bet everyone in the audience was confused when the clip was shown and it got that we were going to film in reverse lol 

The reversed choreography was very hard.
For the step in which we had to kick the leg around, it was not from the inside to the outside, but from the outside - that was normally supposed to be the arrival point - to the inside!
If we wanted to proceed forward then we had to walk backwards! 
And all this had to be done while listening to a music that could’ve barely been considered music in the first place, and that made me feel like fainting lol





From the central stage we walked backwards to the passage stage.



There were lots of effects in the middle of the performance, 
such as baloons falling from above and fireworks!




We marched and ran facing backwards!

Then in the end, on the main stage, we did the reversed choreography.




Also thanks to your cooperation the shootings ended without any problems and I got to watch the finished clip one step ahead everyone else.
The reversed performance turned into a very interesting result, so much I could get addicted to it!

The song is a very positive message song.
A wonderful melody and song that can make you perceive how the future is not far away but it’s actually really close to us. 

The release date is March 19.
Everyone, please look forward to it!

All right, with this I’m done talking about the Nagoya Dome, that allowed us to take a look at the future.
We’ll face forward and move our steps towards the next stage.

Good morning.

Yesterday, after I finished my work, I got to know about Sayachan and Yuuyu’s graduations.
Not sure if calling it a shock, but I still can’t find words.
It was so very sudden that I believe it’ll take me some more time in order to accept and understand the fact that Yuuna and Sayachan will quit their activities…

I wanted to appear with them in the Yokohama Arena and in the Nagoya Dome…
There also is that frustration but, of course, I think what they have chosen has to be properly supported.

Sayachan is such a gentle and soft presence, so much that talking with her would soften my feelings as well.
Still, she has a firm attitude and I love and find charming how she’s honest and frank towards her own feelings.
I wanted to have more occasions to stand on the stage with her…

I think Yuuna has been searching for her own answer…
We talked together about a lot of things.
I particularly want for her to be smiling in the future.
She’s a cute junior that was so kind to adore me, so I want to cheer on her back as she does her best.

There’s a hand-shake event todat.
I believe you’re all having lots of different feelings right now, but I hope for the expression of as many people as possible to turn into a smile.

Good morning.

Sorry I made you worry yesterday.

Today I can work at ease so I’m properly going to rest when I’ll have time!
I’m alive hence I’m all right!
I’ll be sure to fully restore my condition in some way, so please don’t worry!

Yesterday - maybe because she was worried - Ruby kept sticking to me all the time!
Dogs really do understand when we don’t feel well, don’t they?
The pic is a very old one.


I kind of feel restless If I don’t keep updating the Official Blog.
I guess it’s a matter of habit!

Because of my poor condition I was absent from today’s handshake event.
After resting and sleeping all day, I’m somehow able to move again.
Seems like the constant dizziness I had been experiencing lately wasn’t totally harmless.
Truth being told, I had an outbreak of fever just before Request Hour but since I coped with it thanks to intravenous drip I thought it was no big deal. Looks like I was wrong.

My head spins and I feel sick whenever I board a vehicle or look at my phone.
I’ll have to remain quiet for a while.

Sorry to make you worry.

Matsui Rena
Team E Leader’s retrospective on SKE48’s  recent growth
from Nikkei Entertainment August 2013 

------


Matsui Rena who ranked 7th in last June General Elections, entering the sacrosanct “Kami 7”. At the same time, a large number of SKE48 members ranked in the elections, ensuring the group to gain fame of national scale. Looking one year back, as a first generation member and core existence of the group, she tells us what have been the major events that punctuated this year.

Rena - With Maeda Atsuko graduating last year, chances for young AKB48 members  have multiplied and they’ve been gradually advancing toward the spotlight. While AKB48 was going through this transformation and SKE48, NMB48 and HKT48 attacking, I think this year clearly revealed what kind of group each of us is.

One of the most important event in this regard for SKE48 was when in April, during Budokan concert, we showed a more powerful visage than ever by singing 31 songs in a row without MC. When we got all together to plan the concert, we were very glad to hear from the staff 「SKE48 is the only one that could pull something like that」, all the members got really enthusiasts. *smiling from ear to ear* If I had to word it very simply, I’d say performing 31 songs in a row was fun.
Looking at the audience I could tell that once the 「When is there gonna be an MC」bewilderment washed away, replaced by 「They ain’t gonna stop!」 they were even more fire up than usual.

I still vividly remember last summer, when we performed in the large scale female idols festival 「IDOL NATION」. After our performance on the first stage had ended, unfortunately, I felt the audience didn’t quite enjoy it. I think that’s because we lacked experience in this kind of environment, where the audience isn’t composed of our fans only like in the theater, but people who were there to see other idols. We faced different way of cheering and had to forget what we thought were common practices, so much that when the members met during the break, we all changed our MCs. For the second stage, we changed our approach 「I’ve confidence in how powerful our performances are, what would you say about we see who of you or us have the more energy? (tln : talking to the audience)」. Doing so it felt the live was a much bigger success. Until then we had been going forth by leaning on AKB48’s legacy, but it felt we had just opened a new path for SKE48 to walk, and I could see the difference in responses.

I think we also managed to display our own charm during SKE48 first solo apparition in last year 「NHK Kouhaku Utagasen」. At first murmurs in the venue were something like 「It’s the turn of one of AKB48 spawn」and the applause was scarce too. But with Akarin (Suda Akari) doing ballet moves, the now graduated Fujimoto Miki doing back-flips, cheers arose from the audience and when it was over we got wrapped in strong applause and acclamations. I took it as the proof we had been approved of.


Her attachment to SKE48

On March 2012 it was announced that Matsui Jurina would hold concurrent position with AKB48’s Team K. Matsui Jurina being even more absent from Nagoya, something switched in Matsui Rena’s heart who had been hauling SKE48 as part of WMatsui.

Rena - The biggest change I experienced this year was the full bloom of my profound attachment to SKE48. I think the apparition of kennin members has been a stimulus and a plus for AKB48 group as a whole. But as someone entrusted with the duty to guide SKE48 forward, I can’t let go of my conviction that 「SKE48 is number one」. Sometimes fans will tell me during handshake events 「I hope Rena-chan will be in concurrent position someday」, but I always answer them 「SKE48 is where I belong」.


In her speech during this year General Elections, she announced 「This year I’ll go all out」, showing a confidence in herself unheard of before.

Rena - This year my solo works have increased, fans reported 「I’ve seen you on TV in this CM!」 and overall I can feel there are more people aware of my existence. I think it played a major role that I was finally able to tell my fans openly, related to last year elections, 「I was disappointed with my rank. I want to stand at the top.」. In response, everyone push me up and bestowed me this chance. I want to make all my possible so that one year after it will appear to have been the right choice to give me this 7th position.


In AKB48 Group, teams remodeling in called 「Shuffle」. On April SKE48 went through its first shuffle and Matsui Rena went from Team S to Team E, where she took the function of Leader.

Rena -  With so many S members graduating, I think the shuffle was necessary so that everyone would be ready to give it’s best once again.
There are a lot of young, 5th generation members in Team E, so I’m looking forward to see how they’ll grow from now on. SKE48 new era starts with the 5th generation, or so is the image they have attached to them. Looking at the elections, ranking members go as far as the 4th generation however, meaning SKE48’s alternation of generation is still ahead.
I was extremely surprised as I didn’t imagine to become Team E Leader. Fans tell me 「Do your best as leader」, but I don’t think it should be about me, rather I think my role is to create an environment where I can tell members with confidence 「Let’s go forth all together」. There are members in E who are  still hesitant to step forward during recording with their seniors. There I tell them 「You can moderate your reserve 」.

SKE48 12th single to be released on July 17th 「Utsukushii Inazuma」is a striking title, which marks the start of a new, reborn, SKE48.

Rena - I was expecting a cute, cheerful summer idol song, so i was dumbfound when I first heard the demo. It’s the most adult music SKE48 ever had. We also have serious expressions in the video, I think it’s perfect to introduce the new SKE48.

It’s Rena(・ω・) 


Just like yesterday, today as well I’m taking part in AKB’s hand-shake event.
Thanks to everyone who came yesterday!

I had everyone congratulate me, and that made me very happy.
Also, since you all talk about lots of things - also related to yourselves - I had really fun being able to talk about so many different topics!♪

Oh, right!
Yesterday there also were some people going to their former oshi saying that they changed oshi. (tln: You know, the oshihen)
Welll, you know…
I myself have been told many times, until now, “I changed my oshi from Renachan to someone else”, and well…one would feel down-hearted being told such a thing directly…

Instead of saying it with words, if you could just nonchalantly do like this, everyone will understand anyway! 



Just saying lol


In my case, anyway, I’m actually happy to be able to talk both with people supporting me and with those supporting other members.
When I see goods or T-shirts of other girls I end up talking about nothing but them lol

Oh, I was about to forget!
As I was thinking I would want Airi’s GekiOshi towel…

…Nanako already goooooooooooot iiiiiiiit!!!
I was too laaaaaaaaaaaaateeeeee!!!

I guess I have no other choice but to buy it…(*゜ロ゜)!!

That’s what I was thinking when…

…Sa-Sasshii gave me her GekiOshi towel!!!
So well, I guess that maaaaaaaaybe I might be having this towel around my neck at some point during today’s hand shake event…(-ω-)


But, of course, you’re all…





RenaOshis, right? ・*・:≡(　ε:)
