Interview from BUBKA
Translation about the concurrency part

BUBKA : Shiraishi-san, if you were offered the concurrency position, what would you do?
SHIRAISHI : Maybe I would reject it. It’s painful for Nogizaka46

BUBKA : The time when shuffle was announced, what kind of time it was?
SHIRAISHI : We were working that evening. During break time, Ikuchan asked “Maiyan, did you see it?”. With curiosity, I was shown the news from internet. That’s how I knew. After that, everyone were given the information. I couldn’t even raise my head.

BUBKA : You couldn’t understand it immediately, right?
SHIRAISHI : Ikoma-chan told with her own mouth the reason behind the concurrency. With her saying that, I felt that I want to support her. Matsui Rena also got a lot of trouble. That’s why I want us to be a better group that what we are today.

BUBKA : After Rena-san come. What if she suddenly become the center?
SHIRAISHI : Unn…That’s possible..Things will be kinda complicated

BUBKA : Have you talked directly to Ikoma-san?
SHIRAISHI : I have. But, Ikoma-chan, with her nature character, said something like “Because I’ll do theater performance, I need to do make-up by myself~! I’m thinking of any good make-up tool~!” (LOL)

BUBKA : Nogizaka46 members really love Nogizaka46. They have strong feeling of “This is our place”
SHIRAISHI : Right. The shuffle is already happened, but it can’t erase the color of Nogizaka. From now on, I want to cherish Nogizaka more than before.
