Member of Rain Tree, Noa Mizuno. Mizuno: “The day after the announcement of that audition result, a new idol group audition produced by Yasushi Akimoto (later known as ‘Boku ga Mitakatta Aoizora’) was widely announced. However, I had lost my confidence and didn’t have the energy to apply, so I didn’t participate. Later on, I really regretted not applying. Because of that experience, when I found the ‘IDOL 3.0 PROJECT Audition,’ I decided to make this my last attempt and applied.”
