After 16 years of idol life…Misuzu Furukawa of Denpa Gumi Inc. reveals the “surprise” after her last live.

“My three-year-old…”

So that gravure is finally coming out.

Inc.’s closing live, Ms. Misuzu Furukawa was at Dear Stage Inc. in Shin-Okubo.

Mirin-chan” is a founding member of the group and has carved out her own unique path as a unique idol who continues to be an idol while married and raising a family. In the current issue of “FRIDAY,” Mirin is taking on the challenge of her first and last “serious photogravure” and has achieved a surprising release of her achievements.

In this first installment of a special interview commemorating her gravure debut in FRIDAY, we ask her what the two days of her closing live show were like for her after 16 years of idol life.

Thank you for your hard work on the ending live performance.

It was a very hard live performance. It was a lot of work, so I can honestly say, ‘You did a great job. I thought that if the ending was successful, everything would be fine, so we put everything we had into it.

Q. How did you spend your time before the day of the concert?

We rehearsed until late December, and then had about a week off during the year-end and New Year’s holidays to make sure we didn’t get the flu. I had time to spare, but I couldn’t play the games I usually play, I couldn’t eat, and things weren’t as normal as they usually are at this time.

Perhaps sensing my condition, my three-year-old started crying at night. Normally she can sleep by herself, but at night she started crying and saying, “I’m so lonely, I’m so lonely. Even after I put her to bed, she wakes up every two hours crying like “Mommy! ‘ and she would cry and call out to me.

It was like a running light at the concert.

How did you spend the night before the concert?

I ate curry with pork cutlet the night before. The day before the Budokan concert in 2002, I ate curry with pork cutlet. I usually don’t do that, but since it was the last time I was going to do it, I thought I would do it!　I thought.

I always have trouble sleeping the night before a big concert, and I went to the first Budokan without sleeping (laughs). This time, my family was very considerate and let me sleep, even though my child was waking me up at around 4:00 a.m. crying at night, saying, “Mom, it’s a big day today. In the morning, I said bye bye to my child, “I’m off,” and headed for Makuhari.

The venue was the Makuhari Messe Event Hall.

I always go to the audience before a concert. “I always go to the audience before a concert because I want to get a sense of the scale of the venue and how it looks from the audience. Every size venue has its advantages, but an arena like this one feels like a milestone live performance.

On the stage, there was a bar of costumes from the past (note: about 400 costumes from the past were lined up). The staff had gathered the costumes, packed them in boxes, brought them in, and the whole company had been working from 24:00 the day before the concert to get them ready. The stage team also came together, everyone from the old staff to the more recent ones. I felt deeply that this was the culmination of all the people who had made Denpa-gumi.inc what it is today.

Inc. was born, the shutter of the store “Dear Stage” was also set up on the stage.

Inc. producer Maiko Fukushima had been thinking about how to use the shutters for a long time. The live concert was also on January 5, but we had all the new content out by January 4. We also put out the music video for the new song “W.W.D ENDING” and we did the graduation ceremony for OG Mogami. Now we just have to get to the final day.

After the first day’s live, we took pictures with all the OGs and had a little reflection meeting, then went back to the hotel. I was so tired that I fell asleep while ego-ing my impressions of the event.

How did you feel on the second day of the closing live when the last performance started?

I was thinking that each song would bring back memories for the fans and make them cry. There was almost no MC, no surprises, no new elements. The only thing left to do was to listen to the songs. I felt like a samurai (laughs).

Q: Toward the end of the concert, there was a scene where you were in tears while singing “Orange Rium” and couldn’t sing.

When people really cry, they say, “Ehhh. Everyone in the audience waved orange penlights and psylliums, and it was a particularly beautiful sight to see in this song. Since it was the last song, I thought I would try not to forget this scene, so I sang the song while looking at the audience firmly, and suddenly I cried out.

On the second day of the closing live, there was an unexpected surprise after the show.

After the show, all the OGs and their children came to see us, and the backstage area became a chaotic and heartwarming space. Afterwards, Mofuku-chan gave us a surprise graduation ceremony.

She had made graduation certificates for all the members and gave them to me in a black tube saying “Congratulations on your graduation. I hadn’t graduated from high school, so I was crying a lot, thinking that this was my first graduation ceremony since junior high school (laughs). (Laughs.) I cried when I thought that it was the last time I would see everyone. I felt sad thinking, ‘I guess some of us won’t see each other again,’ but I was able to shed tears only because we were able to end the ceremony properly.
