~ Sasaki said Mao's solo dance was cool.
I saw it in the front row at the rehearsal, and I was like "wow!" I thought the dance was great, and it was more polished.
~ Rikako called Maopin on stage. Akiyama : "I'm Akiyama Mao and I will be 21 years old tomorrow."
~ Akiyama said she was happy to be able to dance together. They usually get along well with each other, but they also get along well with dancing. They move when they go shopping, but they were happy to be able to dance together on stage.
~ Rikako suggested that everyone sing the birthday song at this point and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" together. After the song, Maopin said that she was turning 21, but she always liked being 20. Rikako agreed and said that 21 is fun too!
- Theme Talk corner : Both of them will talk about the theme they have chosen in advance from the box.
~ The theme was "What we think is cool about each other." The two answered "All the time!".
~ Rikako answered that she had seen Tsubaki at a festival on video and that it was great.
~ Maopin answered, "The expression on her face when she is on camera." Akiyama: "The expression on your face when you are caught on camera is outstanding. No one can beat it."
Rikako : "Is that what you really think?"
Maopin : "No one can beat her! It's difficult to get the right look while singing, but Sasaki-san is really amazing".
~ Theme : "About our future together"
~ Maopin : "When you become a grandmother or a grandfather"
Rikako : "Which one of us is the grandfather?"
Maopin says she wants to be friends even when she gets old. Sasaki says that if they work in the fields, they would share vegetables with each other.
~Theme : "Which do you like best, spring, summer, fall or winter?"
The answer was "summer".
Maopin says that summer is hard but the hotter the better, and that she has summer clothes and can go to the beach.

~ Rikako said that although she was able to celebrate Mao's 21st birthday, it was only because she was able to meet her, and that it was a day that made her feel grateful for the encounter.
Sasaki said she could feel everyone's love for Maopin and asked them to support her, and said she loved the relationship between everyone and Maopin.
~ Maopin said that she had done many birthday events in the past, but every time she was nervous and sometimes things didn't go as she had practiced, which was frustrating, and she practiced to overcome the frustrations.
~ Maopin said that this time, Sasaki-san came to the event and we asked for song requests from the audience, and that she had put everything she wanted to do into it. She said that feeling everyone's warm support made her realize that she was not alone and that she wanted to enjoy her life as an idol.
~ She said that she is still in the process of singing and dancing, and that she hopes to grow by learning from everyone in the group and from Sasaki-san, so please watch over her.
