Rain Tree member Rika SatoSato: “Before starting my activities, I thought that expressing my individuality was the most important thing. Of course, that’s necessary, but I realized that before that, it’s crucial to think about the fans and act and speak with them in mind.” Mizuno: “I have deeply realized the importance of the behind-the-scenes effort. Before starting my idol activities, I only had a lighthearted feeling of thinking that idols are cute and I wanted to be like them. Now, I realize how naive that was.”
