“To all those broken or hopeless, I have learned this: Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story. The ones that hurt you. The ones that helped you. The ones that came, and the ones that left. They all taught you. Don’t think for a moment that any of it was random. There are no oversights with God. Only perfectly crafted chapters in each unique journey.” - Yasmin Mogahed

SHUNKAN BUNSHUN

In order for Nounen’s acting to blossom during sophomore, she took acting lessons during her first year of high school, LesPros entrusted a teacher to guide everyone. Nounen who was often awkward in speaking, would ask the teacher after the rehearsal, sometimes it takes her 2 hours long. With the teacher’s explanation, she would carry out the exercise after understanding things herself, gradually releasing an outstanding light. After that, she got rid of her kansai ben, lose weight, cut her hair and slowly produced changes. As a result, the success rate for the audition started to increase.

During the 2012 Amachan selection, Nounen was sent by the company for the selection. The agency’s main push was Kawashima Umika, she was the president’s favorite new star.

When Nounen started filming for Amachan, originaly she was given fifty thousand monthly, the filming period was long, no time to work to earn a living, there were more and more work, she had no choice but to ask for help to be able to continue with her life at home. The earliest event was in 2012/11 when she came back from filming at Iwate, Nounen was with her new manager, while riding the shinkansen, because Nounen was going to stay in Iwate for a long time, she held a backpack and a suitcase. As they were heavy her walking was unsteady that she stumbled, hurting her right leg’s tibia, after the bleeding was noticed, they rode the shinkansen until the next stop, called an ambulance to the hospital, she had a deep wound with exposed bone on her right leg, and received seven stitches. For her filming afterwards, clothing which exposed her legs were changed to trousers.

But, filming period was the happiest time for Nounen. With a morning drama schedule, reciting lines was a great challenge. At that time, Miyamoto Nobuko gave her much help. When exhausted, she asked the staff to arrange a break time for her to rest. Before Miyamoto gets into the role, she would re-confirm the lines with Nounen, and even suggested to prepare a room for the child (t/n: the way she addresses rena is just like her own grandchildren. ) , the small room which used to be for dressing up near the powder room, later on became known as the “seclusion room”. Nounen received lots of care from the casts and staffs.

2013/2 her father got into a traffic accident, two more months until the drama cranks up, at that time Nounen was in Kuji when she received a call from her mom, she ran to Koizumi’s room and apologized for adding up trouble to everyone. Koizumi and everyone else comforted her and said that it was okay.

But, the outside world of Amachan is very harsh, after the rehearsal, her agency did not arrange any car, NHK staffs gave the assistance instead. Filming is often until late at night and only when filming continues for eight hours long before they help her arrange a car. Amachan started to be broadcasted, after Nounen received attentions, they started asking NHK to help her call a cab or prepare a car, the reason is it would cause them trouble if any accidents happen while she’s heading back. Back to Tokyo, filming is even more in full swing. She gets back at her dorm late at night, and starts to prepare for her script the next day. She couldn’t keep up with her worn costumes and laundry, she doesn’t have money too, and her monthly expenses must be carefully planned out. There was a day, Nounen gave Takizawa-sensei a call at night, crying “ my dryer is broken, I don’t have any panties to wear tomorrow”, Takizawa told Nounen to buy in the convenience store, but Nounen said she only have 200 yen in her wallet. Takizawa felt that if the dormitory helped her with the laundry, Nounen could then rest for her filming the next day. After Takizawa talked with Nounen’s mom, she helped taking care of Nounen.

In this case, Nounen’s foreboding mistrust for her agency increased. The on-site manager that accompanies Nounen were mostly junior newcomer, often replaced, she was not even informed prior to leaving, the effect of this is reflected on the screen and often arises during the filming, Nounen in the end have to also continuously apologize to her co-stars and the staffs.

While giving her words of appreciation after the shooting for Amachan, Nounen didn’t mention anything about her agency, and instead thanked Takizawa-sensei who was an outsider. A few days after the thanksgiving dinner party, Nounen was called to the company and was informed of her future. Manager S said, because Rena’s attitude is bad, there won’t be any offer for her, even if she wants to leave she won’t be allowed to. Threatening her on the spot.

Rena: “I told my manager that if I have no work, I will quit. but was informed that I cannot resign but won’t be given any work too. ”

President: “ There was no such thing, must be your delusion. I asked the manager and nothing like that was said, you’re wrong. The reason of you wanting to quit, let me hear it.”

Rena: “I’m already 20 years old, without any work at this time would mean I’m finished, i’ve reached the limit. if you’re not willing to listen to me speak, then there’s no point in explaining myself. ” (3 hours worth of debate, there were also on other days, sometimes she even cried.)

This is my own translation from the Chinese translated version[+1] of the article of Shunkan Bunshun. I might have made a mistake on some parts, feel free to correct me. I just had the urge to translate this and share to others…
