This last three weeks must be very stressful for her. The audition, new single release, Sayuki's situation. I can imagine she's worrying about a lot of things right now.

About what she said in that first video, concerning not knowing her place in the group, doesn't she know that her voice is quite unique? That's why she's my #2 since their first year, behind Maa-chan, only because Maa-chan is ... Maa-chan.

^ That’s the same as questioning why a woman you consider extremely beautiful would look in the mirror and and think she’s ugly, or have insecurities about her appearance. Just because other people appreciate aspects of you doesn’t mean you appreciate them in yourself (even if you should!).

Tomo always seemed to be a “sub-vocalist” to me, so I’m surprised she felt like she wasn’t important or didn’t have a proper place. She was always a part of the vocal triangle with Karin and Sayuki in their 5nin era. Similar vocal position to what Kumai or Momo had in Berryz, or Risa and Eri had during the platinum era. Chisa had this role in the second half of °C-ute’s career.

I loved the one with her and Asakura, where she talks about how she got into H!P (or was scouted, in her case). I used to think it was a random karaoke contest she entered and some guy from UF just happened to be there (or was there for scouting purposes), but if there was a signed °C-ute poster as the prize than I guess it was like... one that was run by UF themselves? That would make more sense as to why there would be someone there on the lookout for talent. Does anyone know for sure? I’m very intrigued by this lol

I think it was a collaboration between DAM★Tomo and Up Front, since the winners also got to sing Chou HAPPY SONG during an H!P concert with Berryz and °C-ute.

 

And after that she took part in an audition, the "OCEAN MUSIC AWARD Newcomer Discovery Audition 2012", which was sponsored by Up Front :) That one's similar to the Forest Award New Face audition which was tied to Satoyama (and discovered Miyazaki Yuka, by the way). So basically Tomoko never auditioned to become an idol, she auditioned to become an artist ^^;

Tomoko's idol story is one of my favorites in all of H!P.

Here the video with Kiki.

On stage with her sister and her friend.

Oh wow! Does UF hold things like this often??? I’ve never seen them have auditions that weren’t H!P-related (aside from the PINK CRES and Lovendor auditions... and I guess also all the UUG-related ones, but those are all somehow adjacent to H!P/idols). Or maybe I guess it’s that they don’t get promoted the same way the H!P ones do so they go under the radar?

I don't know if they still do that, but at that time they had several collaborations running, especially with the Satoyama theme. That's where Eric as well as Tasaki Asahi and Hasegawa Moemi (Bitter&Sweet) came from :)

But other than that it's true, Up Front works in mysterious ways that aren't always easy to see, especially for us oversea fans ^^;

^ Thank you so much for answering my questions! That’s a great way of putting it — UF is often confusing, but it sounds nicer to call them mysterious lol

For more insight into the "Kanazawa story" what better to hear from the horse's mouth? She has one of the more interesting stories in H!P, being she was a late entry (2nd year of high school!), had very little training w/ no previous experience (3 months in KSS), and wondered often if she really blonged. (Aina Otsuka is also on record saying she never really wanted to debut, she merely wanted to meet her favorite H!P members.)

Oh, and in this interview Tomoko says she has no intention of quitting!

Thanks so much for sharing those translations, I enjoyed binge reading that person’s translation threads lol.

Tomo posted something on her story about turning 26 this year, and it’ll be interesting to see how long she’ll stick around for after that… I think she’ll be the first H!P idol to be actively in a group and be over 25?

I thought Yuko left around 25 but apparently she graduated at 27 or 28… but I think H!P has changed a lot since then, because girls pretty much always leave around 25. I mean Juice made a whole song about the 25-year old limit rumour but Yuka graduating at 25 kinda seemed like an ironic confirmation of it rather than dismissing the rumour.

The point of the whole song is that it's a zombie-theory that just never dies no matter how many times it's refuted.

 

OTOH, Even as Kanazawa says, "I'm not thinking of leaving due to my age, I am thinking more seriously about what I'll do in the future with the rest of my life" (very loosely translated from her appearance on Young Town)

 

Also, Nakazawa joined MoMusu already in her 20s, which is unheard of these days.... before H!P even existed and all that...


What I've learned about Japanese so far, is that you must first pay attention to these 2 things: Rule #1 and Context. After that, just pray they remember their high-school English class.
