INDEX
The “cultural first” of 2023 is an idol audition show
Celeina:Today’s program introduces “cultural firsts” in 2023.
Kudo: For the first time in my life, I got into a survival idol audition program. I’m really into “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS”.
Celeina: Have you been following the show from the beginning?
Kudo: Yes, I have. I was originally a “Hello! Project” geek, and when I saw that Momona Kasahara, formerly of Angulum, was in the show, I was hooked.
Celeina: What do you find attractive about the show?
Kudo: Not only the technical aspects of being an idol, but also the mental growth. There are times when you want to deny yourself, but you overcome that and follow the process of expressing yourself with confidence, which I think is filled with important things in life.
Celeina: Ms.Kudo, rather than pushing for a particular girl, do you want to support everyone?
Kudo: There is one, but I am an all-affirmative geek who supports everyone, no matter who they are.
Celeina: Do you think you will want to watch other audition programs in the future, not just “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS”?
Kudo: I think so.
Takano: I would like to talk about that again.
Celeina: It will be interesting to hear from a different angle. Today we welcome Mizuho Kudo, editor-in-chief of the web media “soar. Thank you very much.
