Excerpts from
Kobushi Factory's 27th July 2016 interview with Me magazine, where Kobushi Factory members Fujii Rio, Ogawa Rena, and Hamaura Ayano promote their single Samba! Kobushi Janeiro / Bacchikoi Seishun! / Ora wa Ninkimono.
⚾⚾⚾
Firstly, let's have you introduce one another! How do the two of you see Fujii Rio-san?
Hamaura: Fujii-chan is our subleader, the oldest in the group! She keeps making puns, and she doesn't tire of it (
laughs). The other members may give her the cold shoulder, but she doesn't get discouraged, so she's got a strong heart.
Ogawa: I personally like her face! Besides that, she's smart, and she's got good reflexes! Even though she's the oldest, she often plays around, but that contrast makes her cute.
Fujii-san, please give us your current favourite gag!
Fujii: My current number one is '
Kono isho, iissho~!' (This outfit is great)! I highly recommend it!! (
laughs)
Hamaura: I like Ogawa Rena-chan's singing, just listening to her singing calms me down. Also, when she gives me a
tsukkomi with a '
What is it~', she's really strong! While she possesses girlishness, she also got this boyishness to her... (
laughs).
Fujii: She looks like a cool-headed beauty, up until she opens her mouth (
laughs). The things she says are truly miraculous! While we're doing a talk, she'll be the only person talking nonsense. It's funny how she'll deviate from the rest. Hamaura Ayano-chan is stoic, a real perfectionist! However, she becomes useless when she loses steam, it's really cute~.
Ogawa: With her good figure and skilful dancing, she doesn't have a single flaw! What's more, she's recently been saying that I'm cute, so you know, I think she's fallen for me~. She looks at me a lot.
Hamaura: The heck are you talking about? (
laughs)
