Don't look back!!! (Seimiya Rei & Tsutsui Ayame; Platinum Flash, 26.08.2021)

[Platinum Flash]: Nogizaka46 4th generation Special Feature: Session 5; Seimiya Rei x Tsutsui Ayame - Don't look back!!!

The duo that always is together no matter what, the lively highschool girls "Ayarei" combi made up of two close friends, uses their bus pass to get to and back from school! In this issue, we're bringing you a photoshoot & interview with an overwhelming & youthful feeling of friendship!

26.08.2021

Q: The two of you are known as the close-friends duo 'Ayarei' but, when exactly did you get close?

Seimiya: I think it was around the time of the [4th generation's] '3nin no Principal' stageplay (April 2019). During those days, we were learning our lines together. By that year's National Summer Tour, we were always around each other. Either way, I don't think there was one specific significant event [to make us get closer].

Tsutsui: It feels like we became friends effortlessly~

Seimiya: Our friendship is effortless still- (laughs)

Q: Do the two of you often hang out?

Tsutsui: Yes, we're together almost all the time.

Seimiya: By now, [we're together] every day! I know what Aya-chan is doing, and even what she's eating.

Q: When you say 'I know what she's eating', what do you mean?

Seimiya: We tell one another all about what we're having for a meal. From dishes to sweets, we'll be taking photos and sending them to each other.

Q: Is that meant to prevent overeating?

Seimiya: In the beginning, that was the goal, but nowadays it's just become force of habit. (laughs)

Tsutsui: Hehehe. I send her photos every day!

Q: Well then, please tell us what 'Ayarei' has been up to these days.

Tsutsui: Recently, we appeared in two different stageplays in just about the same time frame (June-July). While walking together, we talked about the troubles we had been facing there. Had I been alone in this, I probably wouldn't have been able to overcome [these hurdles], but since Rei-chan was doing her best, I think I was able to give it my all, too.

Seimiya: Yeah. On the other hand, since she had to be on stage for her stageplay, there was one time when Aya-chan couldn't attend the recording of a [group] programme. Maybe it's because every day I would spend so much time by Aya-chan's side, but. Up until then, I had always thought 'I can rely on myself [only], Aya-chan [merely] is next to me', but it was only then that I realized just how much I depend on her. I thought of myself as the lone wolf type, but it seems like that's not the case at all.

Tsutsui: Eh, is that so? I'm glad...!

Seimiya: What am I to do? Can't bear being apart [from you], can I?

Tsutsui: Mhm, I can't bear being apart either.

Seimiya & Tsutsui: (looking at each other and smiling) I'm in trouble~!!!!!

Q: (laughs) Well then, what do you think is great or admirable about the other?

Seimiya: I admire Aya-chan's ability to naturally do her very best [without having to hesitate]. Quite often, I can't get started on my practice until I set my mind to it, [having to hype myself up, like] 'Okay, let's do this!', and at times I end up just putting it off. Aya-chan is always able to give it her best shot, so I think that's great.

Tsutsui: Rei-chan is very kind, and she'll never turn anything down. I've never seen her - not even once - disagree with something when talking to the 4th generation members, and seeing her always up for [anything], I thought that was amazing.

Seimiya: It's not that I'm always agreeable, it's just that I get swayed easily. (laughs) I'm happy to hear it regardless!

Q: By the way, out of the two of you, Seimiya-san is one year older, so would you say that your relationship is reminiscent of that between an elder sister and her younger sister?

Seimiya: That's right. I try to act like an elder sister in front of Aya-chan.

Tsutsui: Eh? If anything, Rei-chan seems like the younger one out of us.

Seimiya: Eh~? Instead, here I was thinking 'Maybe I've been acting like too much of an elder sister lately...'

Tsutsui: [Elder sister?] Where? You're always wandering around aimlessly and you're not calm in the slightest. (laughs)

Seimiya: (laughs loudly)

Q: How's the 4th generation's atmosphere been like lately? Some things must have changed from the early days.

Tsutsui: It feels like everybody's independent. We'll get together to work on getting the dance and choreography right and so on but, since I'm now able to do certain things on my own - to some extent - I feel like my perception has changed, too.

Seimiya: Certainly. On that note, recently - and all of a sudden - Yakubo (Mio) sent us an old photo with everyone in the 4th generation, accompanied by the message 'I love you!'

Tsutsui: Indeed she did~

Seimiya: When seeing that, I found myself thinking that I really love everyone as well, so I replied with 'LOVE'!

Q: So, what are the goals for each one of you, from here on out?

Tsutsui: I feel lonely seeing our seniors graduate one after another, and I have all sorts of worries, but...

Seimiya: It for sure makes me anxious too. But I also get that in this situation, there's no use in complaining, so that's exactly why I want to aim high! I think that the higher the goal, the better, so I want to do my best to make it happen.

Tsutsui: Yeah, that's true. As my own person, I've had many worries these days about appearing in a stageplay, but it actually ended up being lots of fun, so from now on, I'd like to try acting again.

Seimiya: I recently got the opportunity to appear in Otona Keikaku-san's play, too. Because we've had discussions centered around stageplays, I got the chance to talk to Ikuta (Erika)-san more often as of late, to the point where I now think 'I want to become someone like Ikuta-san too!'

Q: As 'Ayarei', what is something you would like to do in the future?

Seimiya: I want to go sightseeing! I've never really gone sightseeing in Osaka or Kyoto, so I'd like us to do it together. We've also talked about creating a photobook for just the two of us.

Tsutsui: To tell you the truth, these days I've been addicted to taking photos with my disposable camera in my private life.

Seimiya: I've been thinking about going to a shop, getting the photos developed and putting them together in a book. It's a photobook meant for only us two to look at, but if its quality is good enough, I wonder, would it be okay to show it to our fans? (laughs)

Tsutsui: Hehehe. I want us to go on trips and eat delicious food, and from now on too, I want to be with you every day!
