Opening Talk :
~ I am OCHA NORMA Hiromoto Ruli and I turned 21 on June 18th. Nice to meet you today."
~ She explained that she was looking forward to her birthday event so much that she would make her own setlist, so it was hard to narrow it down after thinking about this song or that song a year in advance.
~ The first song was "Identity" by Airi, which was a personal challenge for Ruli. She said, "Suzuki Airi's songs are difficult, sometimes in a high key, sometimes in a low key, but I love this song, and when I noticed that the music video looked like denim and tulle, I chose a denim outfit for this event, I thought it was fate, so I practiced a lot and was happy to perform in front of everyone."
~ The subject of the talk was "What have you challenged or changed recently?"
In terms of performance, Ruli says that she has been watching live videos of various artists in particular recently. She says that she gets a lot of things from watching them, and that it makes her want to do things this way and that way, and that she has tried to change the way she sings and performs.
~ I think everyone loves OCHA NORMA, but if you haven't seen them live, please come and see them because they are all so cute and give the best performances," said Hiromoto.
~ Ruli said that last year she had her mother make her a white costume because she was 20 years old. This year she wanted to go with denim, but her mom told her it would be difficult because they don't have a denim sewing machine, so this time she asked OCHA NORMA's costume designer to make it for her.
"I suggested that I wanted to wear something like this, but I was also saying the exact opposite because my brain wasn't organized, but they were able to grasp the idea and put it together to create such a cute outfit," she said. She explained that the key point was the incorporation of denim and tulle, and that she likes the American casual fashion worn by foreign gals, so she had it made cute in that taste, with glittering stars attached.
- VTR message from Maeda Kokoro and Yamazaki Yuhane
- "Singing with Ruli!" Corner :
~ She started out by saying that she wanted to sing a chorus with everyone and decided to sing "KAERU no Gasshou," a kids song that she had dreamed of singing in a circle.
Hiromoto : "Does anyone not know it?"
In the back? (raises hand)
Hiromoto "You're kidding, right? ...I know who you are talking to later..."
Dividing the audience into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seats to determine the parts for the round singing.
Hiromoto: "Did you know where to sing?"
In the back? "Yes!"
Hiromoto "You have a nice voice. Madopi and Nachu are number 3." (Saito Madoka and Nakayama Natsume participating as the audience)
3. My Days for You (Mano)
4. Suki Sugite Baka Mitai (DEF. DIVA)
5. Massara Blue Jeans (C-ute)
- "Let's ask Ruli anything you want" Corner : Questions solicited in advance and will be pulled from a box and answered.
Question: "Have you gotten better at winking? I'd like to see how you've improved.
Ruli "Nothing has changed, but please see my bad winking," she demonstrated, and wota said, "Wooooooooo!"
"Nanachan was a genius at winking, and while my eyes didn't move an inch, hers snapped shut, and Ruli said both eyes would be closed."
The system is such that when the next question is drawn, a chime rings and you go near the person who asked this question and answer it.
Question: "What are you conscious of and what do you want people to pay attention to in your live performances now?"
Ruli "I can't tell you what I'm conscious of now because I'll cry, but I had a performance the day before yesterday, so I hope I can absorb a lot of things from that and give a performance that conveys the message."
6. Mou Ippo (ANGERME)
7. Suki-chan (S/mileage)
8. Renai Rider (Buono!)
Ending Talk
Ruli asked "For those of you who came for the first time, did you have a good time?" and "Did you have a good time if you came again this year?" Ruli cheered for them.
~ "I'm still in my infancy, but I hope you'll follow me," said Hiromoto, "I want to give my best performance at every performance."
~ "I don't know how much I have grown since last year, but I'm going to do my best to grow as a 21-year-old." She smiles.
