On 2.7, episode 47 of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger aired.
I’m not very good at writing, but I’ll try to communicate my feelings to everyone in this post.
A year before I was chosen to be in sentai, I was 17 and playing a bad girl on the FIRST CLASS drama.
At 18, I graduated high school and became a working adult.
Ever since elementary school, I’ve run towards work. With this year of this role standing behind me I think I can work towards a leading role.
There’s a lot I want to do. There’s a lot I want to see. In the middle of all these plans I heard I’d gotten past the preliminary round for sentai casting.
So, to be honest, I couldn’t just be happy about landing the role. That was my start as a hero.
Filming, in the beginning, was always early and I was scared of the staff and I never really wanted to go to set. My manager told me I was acting like a child every day.
The time I spent with the 5 Ninningers was really peaceful and I grew to love it.
So I changed myself and my thoughts from the inside out.
At some point I really embraced the special feelings the show and my character, Momochi Kasumi, gave me.
Ninninger’s set was like school.
Every morning I go into the makeup room and sit in my specified chair. Even though we all had our own mirrors, Shunsuke would come use mine and be a total bother.
On the bus in transit to location, all the good-for-nothings would doze off. Hiisama and Yano were always so energetic and would talk, but the other 4 would stay quiet due to their low blood pressure.
Lunch was first come first served. Yano was always quick to eat and would rib at us, asking us what time did you eat? and so on. After we finished we’d play games with the staff. Gakkun is really good at games and I always thought that was great.
After filming was over we’d all ride the bus back and then the good-for-nothings would sit on the studio sofas and talk. An hour was a given. After we got tired of talking the 6 of us would just fall over on each other. Usually I had Yano and Kaito on either side.
Later. See you tomorrow. Of course we’d say that.
In the end, I realized that was not so usual.
We’d get angry together and apologize together.
If we fought, saying good morning the next day was hard.
Before events, we’d all go out to eat and discuss it.
I couldn’t say enough but I’m just so glad I had this experience with the 6 of us.
Something that’s not just friends or family.
In the future, the first I’ll tell happy news to or the first I’ll go to for a shoulder to cry on will be these comrades.
I’m so glad I met the 5 of them.
And Momoninger, Momochi Kasumi.
In this year playing her we both grew together.
My first older sister role.
I’m not an idol, I’m an actress.
So for those 30 morning minutes, I wanted to really show that even for this children’s programming.
I wanted to properly face acting and this show and teach those around me.
I really loved Kasumi-nee, who hated losing, who was actually a bit of a crybaby, who had a sharp tongue but a nice heart, who really reminded me of myself.
Momoninger was the strongest.
When you fail, please think of Kasumi-nee.
There’s no setback you can’t overcome.
If you want to cry, you should cry.
I believe that Kasumi-nee will continue to live on in all of your hearts.
Thank you for loving Momoninger/Momochi Kasumi.
Thank you so much for this year.
So, even though she’s graduated from Ninninger,
Momoninger will keep burning hot!
This was Momoninger/Momochi Kasumi’s actress, Yamaya Kasumi.
