WHITE SCORPION Serialization [Part 3] NICO: “I jumped in thinking it was my last bet.
A special series of articles on the true faces of the idol group "WHITE SCORPION," produced by Akimoto Yasushi, has begun!
─ Being a member of WHITE SCORPION also reunited me with NATSU, a colleague of mine from my WAgg days.
I bumped into him at the third round and said, “Why are you here? ” I think NATSU was also surprised to see me. We were rivals during the audition period, but since we were originally members of the same group, we were willing to support each other when we could. Now that we are working together again, I feel that WHITE SCORPION has various types of songs and 11 different singers with 11 different voices, but with NATSU’s presence, the quality and strength of the songs really come out. I think her voice is a weapon that NATSU possesses.
─ ─ Even so, it was a fateful reunion, wasn’t it?
I think it was fate…… inevitable. At the time of WAgg, even though we were in the same group, each of us was in a personal competition to be promoted from the training group to belong to the senior group, so I always felt rivalry with NATSU. But now we are working together as WHITE SCORPION, aiming for the world, so I have a strong feeling that we have become true friends here.
I feel that we have become true friends here.” “WHITE SCORPION has unique members, and other groups have idols with a wide variety of charms. What do you think is your strength in your performance?
Powerful. Because I am tall, if I am not careful even a little, I look sloppy and my dance becomes uninspiring. I’ve had the mindset to give it my all since my days at WAgg!
─ What is your dream as a group?
I think WHITE SCORPION can make it happen.
─ What are your personal goals?
I hope to achieve results as a group, and then someday I would like to be able to perform as a solo artist. My recent dream is to become a model for purikura machines! I love taking purikura pictures.
