Sashihara Rino Produce ‘1st Yubi-Matsuri’ (Updated)

Sashihara Rino produce “1st Yubi-Matsuri ~Idols Emergency Meeting~” will be held today, on 25th June at Tokyo Nippon Budo-Kan. All casts attended the joint press conference held before the show.

Total 105 idols from 10 idol music acts will join the show, including Idoling!!, Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, SUPER☆GiRLS, Tokyo Joshiryu, Nogizaka46, Pasupo, Buono!, Momoiro-Clover Z, Watariroka Hashiritai7, and not to mention, Sashihara Rino. 2 members from each group and Sashihara attended the press conference.

“I’m so sorry to you for causing trouble. At first, I was not sure whether I can hold the event or not….. But we managed to be able to hold it. I hope you will enjoy the show today.” Sashihara greeted. Following this, they conducted a survey with handing “Totalizer” (Small switch you can push without being seen by others. Often used for survey in TV shows)” to all groups but Sashihara, asking “Do you look forward to today’s event?”, then all 9 groups answered “yes”.

Following question was “Are you putting expectation on Sashihara, the producer of the event?”. 8 groups answered “yes”. As one group didn’t push switch for the quetion, Sashihara reacted, doubting if it’s her fellow member Mayu. “E???? Who??? Mayu???”, she said, though Mayu simply answered “No. I pushed (the switch).” Sashihara then said “So I will host the show with this awkward feeling as I know the fact one group doesn’t expect much from me….” drawing laughter.

Afterwards, each group gave a comment, expressing their will on the show and their appealing points.

To Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku (average age: 13.7), who, unlike their usual image, were dressed in hard rock taste costume and make-up, Sashihara said with a surprise, “Ebichu-san went way too far!!!

Ebichu’s Hirota Aika quipped, “This is our formal costume.”, “If so, it’s alright.” Sashihara answered, though she looked not fully convinced.

“A little while ago, when Sashihara-san battled against Nogizaka46-san, for some reason, we were made to join in Sashihara-san’s team before we knew it, and I remove all posters of Nogizaka-san in my room. But then today I found she is really friendly to Nogizaka-san!!!! What should I do with removed posters of Nogizaka-san?? ” Momota Kanano from Momoiro-Clover Z asked to Sashihara. “Then please put it back!!” Sashihara answerd, which made both Momo-Clo and Nogizaka pleased.

When asked “Title says this is 1st one. So who you want to invite as this event continue to 2nd, 3rd ones…?”, Sashihara answered “I’m not sure they can accept my offer but some day, I want my dear Morning Musume-san to guest the event. Also I hope my fellow members of AKB48, HKT48 and SKE48 etc. to appear the show. I want idols who still don’t make appearance on TV to use this event as an opportunity, too.” “I think everyone is busy with their own work. It may be difficult to invite them to Fukuoka, so I want to hold the next event in Tokyo, again.” When asked about highlights of the show, “I’ve prepared one thing which you can rarely see. And… personally, because I won’t often have a chance to sing solo at Budo-Kan, I want to enjoy the performance to the fullest”, with a smile.
