As a result she could harvest ideas from fans such as offering Hiyashi-Chuka for coming summer season, to which she added “It’s nice to let AKB Cooking Club to engage in this limited-time menu!”. She also declared her club to collaborate with Cooking club and Fine Arts club to design shop’s original desserts.

60-minutes-long event finished so soon that she jokingly said ‘Honestly It’s too short and I wich I could continue this event over alcohol til night.’ Though her solo event was successful, in backroom after finished the event, she revealed that it was tougher than it looked.

She said “It was hard. It’s difficult (to fully communicate with all 50 fans alone by herself). I tried looking at fans’ eyes and talk to fans who weren’t talkative today. Fortunately all of fans were considerate people, so things went on smoothly.” She’s already thinking of the next event, said “I’ll hold 2nd session of this event, and I will try to show at least one idea we got today has materialized.”
