Rena Interview from MyoJo Magazine March 2012


Rena interview from MyoJo magazine, March 2012.

Where we learn that :

-Rena is totally ok if you’re a girl and you confess to her, but if you’re a guy, better not comment on her fashion sense. Because then she won’t give a single crap.

-She couldn’t love Nene as much as Airin and gave up on love altogether

-She is currently competing with Jurina in a quest to get the larger 48 harem. If Jurina is a kissing demon, Rena is staaaa~ring at her preys to make them fall for her. Such perfidy behind this innocent look (Ψ`∇´)Ψ.

—-

Would you rather date someone much older or much younger than you?

Rena - Much older. Even 10 years older is completely ok.

One thing your boyfriend should never see : you without make-up or your mobile?
R - My phone! In comparison me without make-up is no big deal. I don’t like wearing make-up anyway. But the mails I exchange with my friends are basically all about anime, those are mostly lenghty debates  between otaku, so that would be embarrassing somehow.


Do you prefer someone ugly with money or a good looking guy who is a NEET?
R - Ugly with money. I decided on the one who would work rather than on the one wouldn’t work. I like the fact than an adult works properly. I don’t care about the appearance.

Do you receive confessions from girls? Yes? No?
R - Oh yes! The question to go out or not with a girl put aside, I totally accept those confessions. It’s not “love”, but my chest often tightens when a girl tells me things like 「You’re beautiful」.

If there were a boy you like, would you want to confess or be confessed to?
R - I’ll wait to be confessed to! There is absolutely no way that I could do it. What I would do in order for the other one to confess to me? I… could only think that’s a joke… it’s the same with the members I like. I fix her, our eyes meet again and again and we end up breaking on a laugh together. Even if our eyes meet, it still end up like this.
Lately, the members I’ve grown liking are NMB48’s Jou (Eriko)-chan and AKB48’s  13th generation of research student (Mitsumune)    Kaoru-chan!

Between a guy who is madly into 2 dimension (manga, anime) and a guy who doesn’t know the 1st thing about 2D, which one do you pick?
R - The person who likes 2 dimension. Because I too love the 2D culture. Even if there are other aspects of that person I like, if he/she can’t share my love for 2D I don’t think that’s can do.

To take care or being taken care of? Which one?
R - From being taken care of to being the one taking care of.  
I’m not good at approaching people, it’s easier if the other one comes to me. When we’ve become close “I want to do something for you ♥” is how I’d turn out to be.

Friendship or love, which one do you pick?
R - I choose friendship. In the past, I’ve come to like the same character from a dating game simulation than a friend. We had a contest with that friend to find who knew that character better. But, I lost this contest…

Your sense of fashion, more popular among girls or boys?
R - I would say girls. I tend to wear plain colors such as beige and ivory, even though during handshake events female fans I receive praises such as “it’s cute”, but male fans tell me “wear pink” or “wear more dress”…      
Today my civilian clothes are made of a caramel and white stripped shirt, black short pants and sheepskin boots.

The most attractive, suit or white coat?
R - Suit. People who wear suits look level-headed. Also, I like looking at figures wearing suits. When I stare at someone in suit who stands firmly, my chest tightens.
Ahhh— so embarrassing!

Which one would you let slip, infidelity or domestic violence?
R - Infidelity. I hate violence. But there could be reasons behind being infidel. A chain of events for example, but I despise that too (laugh).
If it was because of someone else evil influence, I could forgive infidelity once, maybe.

TL : Rena answered to all questions in a gender neutral way, even when the question specified “boy” : )

Rena from Prima donna Shooting




While Jurina constantly repeats she wants to put SKE before her own career, Rena  is showing an other approach. Nothing surprising if you consider she is already 20…

Page 1
I don’t like looking at my own pictures…
My favorite colors are ivory, pale purple and lately green too.
Before I knew it, all the cloths I was buying were green. 


Page 2

I want to stand there someday, acknowledged by the people surrounding me. To stand with their blessing.


Looking back  at this hectic year that was 2011 but where you ranked 10th at AKB general election, what are your thoughts?

Rena - Since the elections, I changed radically, my work increased considerably, people who have their look on me changed. But among the members nothing changed, it stayed the same. It has been a fun year during which I learned a lot about myself.

Tell us about your goal for 2012

Rena - This year I want to greedily take over many things / attract to me a lot of people.

Gree— Greedily?

Rena - I need to become greedy to succeed at making a lot more people know about 「Matsui Rena」 as a person. I want to become prominent and from there lead people to know about 「SKE48」!

* Defined in this page  “Prima donna”, a solitary figure. Never showing her weakness to others, the epitome of dignity.

Translation of Rena and Jurina from FLASH 2012.01.24


Same-sex love, bullying, violence… Insight from SKE48 members about the MV packed with shocking scenes of their new single 「片思いFinally」.
In those pages, the famous “two top”  present us with the 「Forbidden Love gravure」.

Jurina : Normally I’m the one who hug tightly the other members, but today, Rena(chan) startled me* when she suddenly approached my ear. 

Rena : Rather than simply drawing closer, I thought I would take advantage of the situation. I’m probably extremely selfish. When I feel like being spoiled, you should let me do as I please, when I’m not in the mood (not feeling like being spoiled) you should leave me alone. That’s how I am (lol).

Q : Now, about the long awaited new single PR (preview release?)

Jurina : Until now SKE48 had a “genki” image (full of pep, positive, easy going etc), this single carries a more adult image, appropriate for 2012. And because the members get along well, we could realize such a MV.

Rena : I’m sure those who already knew about SKE48 will be greatly surprised by the MV, but using this new song vigor/momentum, I want 2012 to become the year when SKE48 will meet with major success**.

Q : Rena has celebrated her entry in adulthood (Coming of age ceremony), Jurina will enter high school this spring. Next time, what type of gravure do you want to deliver.

Jurina : As I enter high school, I think I’ll be given the chance to wear a wider range of clothes*** , I want to overcome my embarrassment and deliver a mature image / pose like an adult****. 

Rena : I want to ty to cosplay seriously based on a anime or a manga character. Fans often tell me 「You should try it」. I’d be really happy to do it (cosplay) for a gravure.

* there is a wide range of possible interpretations for ドキッと like “being extremely surprised/taken aback/ to panic” or…”to be flustered”.
** may your wish become true Rena-chan! Let’s break 1 million sales with KataFai!(☄ฺ◣д◢)☄ฺワシャー
*** call me prude, but I certainly hope she doesn’t imply “sexier cloths”, that could wait after she graduate HS.
**** I’m officially worried about that kid…

———

It’s now clear that in the WMatsui relationship, it’s when Rena wants, if she wants and how she wants it (*TωT) Jurina is such a cute little uke when confronted to Rena

Interview of Jurina, Rena, and Akane by Sponichi Annex


Interesting interview of Jurina, Rena and Akane by Sponichi Annex regarding the future of SKE and how to someday surpass AKB.

SKE48 new single 「片思いFinally」 to be release on the 25th.  Last year their 3 singles became n°1 of Oricon Single chart and their popularity is still rising. For a certain time the members have claimed 「We want to surpass AKB」, how close from that goal are they now?
Let’s hear the honest answer from Jurina Matsui (14) , Rena Matsui (20), Takayanagi Akane (20).

Q - What needs to be done next to surpass AKB?

Akane - Something AKB haven’t try yet… What about baseball?!

Jurina - Ohhh, sounds good! *sparkling eyes*

Akane - I like baseball.

Jurina - We haven’t done much regarding sport until now, isn’t it?

Akane - There are lots of athletic members in SKE, that would be great if we could do something related to sport.

Jurina - I want! I want!

Akane - And then when we become strong enough, they will certainly report it in the news. If we reach the point where they think 「How can some idols be that strong?!」, we will certainly gather a lot of attention.

Jurina - Should we really? What if everyone ends up brawny (lol).

Q - If you had to choose, which sport would you select Jurina?

Jurina - I want to play dodge ball. Form a team and if there was a tournament, that would be great fun.

Q - … what about you Rena?

Rena - I’m not fond of sport *gloomy face*.

Akane - Table tennis?

Rena - I can’t play it either.

Jurina - But you can swim right?

Rena - Me, I can’t swim. *even more gloomy face*

Q - So Rena could not enter “SKE sport election”?

Rena - I would not participate.

Akane - Then you would cheer us by singing (lol).

Rena - I will be the manager.

Jurina - But indeed it would be weird/unpleasant  if Rena-chan had to go all out during a game (lol).


Q - In your chase after AKB, did you get closer yet?

……silence of the 3……

Q -  So?

Rena - I don’t think the distance between them (AKB) and us (SKE) has shorten. Or at least, we can’t spontaneously answer 「Yes, we got closer to them」.

Jurina - But SKE is given more and more chances to do things that have been done by AKB before, it’s a step forward in my opinion.

Q - What should be done to get closer to AKB?

Akane - Our activity as a group is one thing, but there is a need to increase the individual popularity of the members.

Q - Indeed, there are a lot of popular members inside AKB.

Akane - And among them a number of outstanding members keep appearing. I believe we will see an increase of them (AKB members) offer to star in drama.

Jurina - I think the point is that we do things that differ from what AKB has done. Because today you ear people say 「SKE is the Nagoya version of AKB」. I want SKE to show it’s own true color, AKB is AKB, SKE is SKE. I want to be judge for what we are worth, independently.

Q - In my opinion, a good proof that you’ve reach AKB level would be, for example, for your new single 「片思いFinally」 to win the Japan Record Award*. What do you think about winning JRA?

Rena - Until now I had not considered it, but last year when AKB claimed the prize, it seemed like the fans’ awareness changed and we were told 「Do your best as SKE to win JRA too」. 
It’s a path AKB have opened for themselves, I wonder if it’s suitable to become our goal.

Q - Jurina?

Jurina - Award? Let’s take it! (lol) [TN:  賞ですか!?獲りましょう!-> shiou desuka? torimashiou]

Q - That sounds like a pun…

Jurina - The Award may be too much of a dream, but I would like SKE to perform for Kohaku (as SKE).

Q - Last year you performed as part of AKB, among a total 210 members right?

Jurina - We’ve been told by fans 「It was hard to find you」, earring things like this brought us down a bit, I want SKE to perform at Kohaku.

* won in 2011 by AKB with Flying Get. Rena was there to receive the prize and perform as part of senbatsu member (curfew was enforced for Jurina though).

—-

They’ve got it all right. Be yourself, follow your own path.
There is no need for a second AKB. SKE is SKE and we love it because of its uniqueness =).
