「Until recently, I spent most of my time overseas on my world tour, but no matter how tired I was, I always made sure to go out on my days off. If I just stayed cooped up in the hotel, I couldn’t really shake off my gloom, but as I went out telling myself, «I’ll make an effort to have fun,» I started to feel more positive, and each day became something precious.」

「This jacket is one of my absolute favorites.The fleece lining is brown to match the floral pattern, which shows how much thought went into the design. It’s fluffy and warm on the inside, and it feels amazing to wear!」

「When I’m performing with the group, I guess I’d go with pink – which is also my member color? But when I’m working solo, I’d like to try out some darker, more distinctive colors, like black, brown, or blue. I prefer comfortable styles and usually stick to pants, but a little while ago, while on tour in Europe, I happened to pop into a shop and bought a long silk skirt. This fall and winter, I’m looking forward to trying out styles that are a little different from what I’ve worn before.」

「The subdued, nuanced colors are absolutely gorgeous! I also love the striking silhouette. The charm-like shoelace detail is so cute, too. It’s easy to use for everyday wear, and I think this bag will really make a statement when I’m going for a simple look.」
