He also revealed some “painful memories” from his past. ……

I went to see a movie with a friend. I went to see a movie with a friend of mine, and while my friend was taking pictures of the poster, I ended up taking a picture with someone else who wanted to take a picture of the same poster.

Then he pointed at me and said, “How do you say that? I said, “Se-no,” and he said something like, “You call me fat. ……

She was suddenly bombarded with slurs about her “appearance” from a “total stranger. It was a slur on her “appearance,” hurled at her out of the blue by a complete stranger.

At that time, rather than being shocked myself, I felt sorry for my friend. I felt like it was my fault that they said those things.

After that, I couldn’t watch the movie at all. I couldn’t stop crying from the trailer on. ……

After that incident, Sasaki decided to go on a diet. Once she started losing weight, her singing changed as well.

People who listened to my songs told me that I sounded much better when I lost weight,” she said. I hadn’t recorded for “Karaoke Battle” in a while, so it was my first competition in a long time. I had lost a lot of weight at that time, maybe 20 kilograms.

At that time, people were talking about it. People said, “You’ve gone on some kind of diet,” or “You’re not ready for this. I got a score of 100. That gave me confidence, and I thought, “Well, I’m going to be more beautiful. I decided to go to …… and try to be more beautiful and sing better. I wanted to look back at the people who judged me based on my appearance.

Compared to when she was at her heaviest, Sasaki has lost a total of 45 kilograms. Perhaps it is because of this that her singing voice has become even more polished than it was when she was scoring 100 points in “Karaoke☆Battle”.

Despite the innocent smile she shows in her debut song “Yakusoku Misaki,” her singing voice is filled with joy, sadness, frustration, and much more. That is why Ms. Sasaki’s songs have moved people’s hearts and helped her capture her debut.

I am really looking forward to seeing how far her songs will grow in the future.

Ms. Sasaki held her debut event on September 20 at “FIRST STAGE” on the 2nd floor of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower in Tokyo.

Perhaps because of the location of the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, foreigners also stopped to listen to her songs. ……
She was called the “strongest junior high school student” on “Karaoke☆Battle” after scoring 100 points in a row.

The stress of changing schools and singing combined, and eating became a way for her to relax. ……
