Kiyoko's interview:
IDOL BASED QUESTIONS]
How and why did you decided to become an idol?
- I've decided to become an idol so to further improve my singing and dancing, and having heard some idol music I've become interested in it.
Was there any difficulties on the beginning? Did the people around you offered you support or did you hided from them this thought?
- Yes, quite a bit. I mostly hid this thought, but my family knows it and offered support for me.
How did you feel about dancing and singing before you turned a idol?
- I'd move along to the music I listen to, but didn't really dance. Singing was something I also done when listening to music, following along with it.
How did you feel initially about your abilities as a idol?
- I felt nervous, and realised that meant having to overcome my fears. But I'm getting there, slowly.
Do you think you are a good idol?
- Not really. I don't like these kinds of questions as it insists that one is better in something than everyone else. I don't think like that!
Is there any subject that you're really bad at? (singing, composing, dancing, dealing with fans, training, making a schedule, etc)
- Dealing with fans, because socialising is not my strong suit.
And is there a subject that you're really proud of your performance? How did you managed to get so good at it/them?
- My music tracks that I've created. I've been producing music for quite a while now, even before getting into idols.
What attribute is your favorite? Do you think your attribute suits you?
- Cool attribute is my favourite, and it suits me perfectly.
Is there any fellow idol that you really admire?
- Not really, sorry.
What types of music do you like more?
- This is such a difficult one to answer. I love to listen to music from around the world and from a wide variety of genres! If I had to choose, it would be Metal, especially the Death and Heavy Metal, and Trance. Other main choices include Experimental Electronic, like the kind Flying Lotus and other similar artists like him do; Eurobeat, like the ones heard from Initial D; and remixes of video game music, specifically from Touhou Project. I also love Indietronica...
Do you play any instrument?
- While I create my music by use of computer programs, I do like playing the drums.
Do you compose lyrics or songs (in your free time as well)?
- Yes I do, a lot. However I like to create music without any lyrics as well.
[UNITS/SUB-UNITS BASED QUESTIONS]
How do you feel about the unit you're currently in?
- My own solo unit? It's amazing!
How do you feel about the sub-unit you're currently in?
- Not in one.
Did you belonged to a unit before this one? If so, why did you switched?
- Nope.
How do you feel about being a solo idol? Do you miss having other members?
- It feels great, because I get to create the music I want, from my main favourite genres and from other genres as well, and I don't have to worry nor feel restricted with what I want to do. It does feel lonely at times..
[SCHOOL BASED QUESTIONS]
Do you like your school?
- It's okay, I guess.
What is your favorite place in the school grounds?
- Somewhere where it's quiet. Not outside though.
Do you have a club? Do you like it?
- If there's a car club, I'd love to join it!
Who are your friends? With who do you most hang-out with?
- Uh, I don't have any.
Do you have a crush?
- Nope.
What is your favorite teacher?
- I don't have one.
What style of uniform do you prefer?
- Long skirts, and also professional.
[PERSONAL QUESTIONS]
How is your relationship with your family?
- Great, actually.
Do you have a pet?
- No, but I wouldn't mind having a cat.
Did you have a romantic interest before? How did it go? And now?
- Never, and still no.
Do you have any childhood memory that you're fond of/hunts you to this day?
- I remember when I got my first console, it was great. Happiest day of my life.
Did you ever experienced a scary situation? How was it like?
- I got lost once when I took a wrong turn on my bicycle at night, and took me to realise when I was in a different part of town. I managed to find my way back but it sure did took a while.
Describe your house and you bedroom!
- It's a nice, large two story house. My bedroom, also decently large, contains a TV with four consoles (two of them actually set up); a desk with laptop, and a bed.
Do you consider yourself a happy person?
- Sometimes, mainly when I listen to music I like and playing games.
What are your hobbies?
- As I mentioned and described before, music! I also love to ride my bicycle everywhere. Furthermore, I love motor sport and cars, especially the drifting scene, and like playing games, watching shows and films, and reading manga about/include them; and driving sounds great! Other hobbies include Japanese Mythology, and experiencing different cultures, though with the latter I'm more interested in trying out food from their culture. That's how I grew a love for German and Italian food, and some others!
What is your favorite food? And your least favorite?
- Schnitzel and Pizza, though I love most German and Italian cuisine, and their candy! I also like hamburgers and French fries. I hate most fruits and vegetables, and I despite seafood! There are only very few fruits and vegetables I'd eat, and a few others as flavours or mixed into drinks, like orange juice for example.
What attracts you in people(romantically-wise or not)?
- I have no idea, I don't really pay attention to that kind of stuff. Sorry!
What are you good at, non-idol related?
- Well, I create music that isn't idol related as well. I'm really good at video games too, and also do well at racing on my bicycle! Sometimes I do take it a little to far with the latter, and tire myself out.
What is your favorite animal? And what animal do you think resembles you?
- Cats all the way, and I think they resemble me!
Can you tell us your backstory?
- I was raised normally and have no health issues, more or less. I tried to make friends in the past but it was pointless, so I just stopped and begun to isolate myself. It was for the better! Also, my mother owns her own business, a food/bakery store that specialises in delivering across the city and into the countryside, and I plan to help out part time with it someday! I really would love to drive and deliver food. What? No, I would never drift in the mountain side! I'd still obey the rules of the road!
How do you feel with your appearance?
- I feel fine with it, though I do like changing my hairstyle a bit and colours. I wear what I want though.
What do you do when you're upset? And when you're angry?
- I listen to more darker music, such as Death Metal, Punk Rock, and Experimental Electronic. When I'm angry? I'd wait to go home and play violent games and release my rage in the game and also listen to darker music. Otherwise I don't say anything and keep it to myself.
Do you enjoy talking about yourself?
- I do get carried away when I do, so not really.
