Members” reactions to Mariko’s speech

Sayaka Yamamoto on her blog

Mariko-san ignited my sprit. As she dared to give her words to us, I will respond her by my action.

I’ve never admitted the fact that I feel chagrin as honestly as I did this time. So, I don’t want to lose to anyone anymore.

Jurina Matsui on her blog

If there will be an election next year, I will aim at Kami7.

Mariko-sama said “Challenge senior members with determination to crush them.” This is the word that not many people can say, and because it was said by Mariko-sama, the word resonates with everyone’s hearts including me.

Mayu Watanabe

In the interview with Sankei

“I talked to Yuko san that “We made it! 1-2 finish of Oshiri-sisters !!””

in her speech

“If there will be an election next year, I want to win No.1,”

Rino Sashihara on her blog

No matter how my result turn out to be, I’d been scared that how audience react to me.
“Sashihara shouldn’t be in top positions?”

And after I heard the result, I was scared that how my fans react to my result.
But…. I was so moved by your warm comments,
and figured that you cheer for me no matter how and where I am.

It sounds like a cliche, but don’t you think this is the start line??

I’ll be striving forward!!
Thank you so much!
