 &#8212;In June this year, you graduated from NMB48, which you had belonged to since you were 12 years old. Did your feelings or lifestyle change after graduation?
 Yuzu Hongo: &#8220;Immediately after graduation, I didn&#8217;t really feel it at all. I just kept checking my LINE to see what my schedule was like today.　I would check my LINE to see what my schedule was today, or I would think about what time my lesson was.　I was thinking, &#8220;What&#8217;s the schedule for today? It was hard to get out of my usual routine, and after about a month, I finally got used to a different routine.
 &#8212;You mentioned that you have much more time to yourself now.
 You mentioned that you have much more time to spend alone. &#8220;Until now, I had to spend a lot of time with a lot of people because we had to perform at the theater all the time, and I had to do a lot of physical activity. But since graduating, I have been spending more time by myself, just relaxing. I realized how precious it is to be able to spend time without thinking about anything. Recently, I have been trying new dishes in my free time.

 &#8212;You have always loved cooking, haven&#8217;t you? What did you cook recently?
 I have been experimenting with healthy food recipes I found on social networking sites!　I made soup stock from scratch with lettuce, pork belly, and bean sprouts, and I made vegetable foil pancake with lots of enoki mushrooms. I&#8217;m trying to expand my repertoire of healthy diet meals.
 &#8212;There are other things he wants to do. &#8230;&#8230;
 Yes, I do!　The thing I want to do most right now is to take a &#8220;family vacation!　I want to travel with my father, mother, sister, and grandmother. My father, mother, sister, and grandmother all want to travel together. When I move to Tokyo in the fall, I am planning to invite everyone to Tokyo and show them around (laughs). I&#8217;m looking forward to it.

 &#8212;Was your family surprised when you told them about your move to Tokyo?
 Everyone was positive. When I told my grandmother, &#8220;I&#8217;m moving to Tokyo! She said, &#8220;You can save money on accommodation when you go to Tokyo!　Let me stay here! My father also said, &#8220;I used to dream of living in Tokyo, too, so you should go! I&#8217;ll come see you once a month at &#8230;&#8230;. What&#8217;s that?　Is he a little worried?
 &#8212;So this is your first time living on your own, right?
 Yes. I&#8217;m worried that I won&#8217;t be able to keep up with the housework, but I&#8217;m really looking forward to it. Until now, when I was tired and went to bed, one of my family members would do the laundry or clean the house for me, and they helped me a lot. I think that living alone is a good opportunity for me to realize how much I appreciate things that I did not realize.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The same goes for my work, since I will be alone from now on. &#8230;&#8230; I would like to continue doing gravure more, and I also love variety shows, so I would like to be invited to more of them. Then there is acting!　I participated in a musical once. As we rehearsed more and more, I was able to see myself in ways I had never seen before, and I was surprised to see that I could also make such a face. I want to experience that joy again. I want to experience that joy again.
 &#8212;I want to experience that joy again!
 My dreams are expanding! I&#8217;m so happy to be back so soon! I will do my best to live up to the expectations of my fans who said, &#8220;Thank you for coming back so soon! It would be great if I could show you all a side of me that you don&#8217;t know yet, too!
