Aqours 3rd Live Pamphlet: Aida Rikako Interview
Team Onibe brings you Translations of Rikyako’s and Riko’s parts of the third live pamphlet.
I hope to become a gentle wind that can embrace your heart at all times.
My wonderful experience was going back to my childhood home of L.A. thanks to Love Live! Sunshine!!
I’ll stand on stage and put on a performance as Sakurauchi Riko that will bring back the emotions from the second season of the anime!
Interview with Aida Rikako:
Q1: What do you think about these costumes? And tell us your thoughts on the music!
What I particularly liked about this costume was the white that everything else was built upon. Whenever I wear it, I become more tense! A particular phrase that I like from the song was the “Honki wo butsuketara~” from the bridge. It’s a phrase that sounds reckless, yet conveys the feeling of not giving up until the end, and also the latent potential held by Riko-chan and the others. It motivates me to do my best as well.
Q2: A story about shining as brightly as possible—what does it mean to “shine” to you?
It’s the fact that I was able to meet all the other members, the staff, as well as all the fans, thanks to Love Live! Sunshine!! I love you all so much, and the time spent with everyone is the true meaning of “shine” to me.
Q3: Anything you want to do during this live tour?
Saitama: I wasn’t able to do this during 2nd Live, but I want to run around the dome at least once!
Osaka: I’ve been in Osaka for quite a few events, and I’ve gone to USJ, eaten takoyaki, and made many memories with all the members. I don’t think we’ll be able to leave the venue for that long this time, but I want to taste the gourmet in Osaka. I’m aiming to taste the meat buns and siewmai in 551 ♪
Fukuoka: I went to Fukuoka once for a fan meeting. The ramen there was really great. This time, I want to eat lots of mentaiko and white rice! (laughs)
Q4: Please give us a message to all of your fans!
We started with our 1st Live, then our 2nd Live Tour, and after that was our fan meetings and the Unit live, and now we’ve cultivated many things, but I still want to reach out to everyone in an even bigger stage. Hopefully, our constant impetus to advance forward can be felt.
