It\u2019s breakfast. Of course I\u2019ll eat breakfast on performance or choreography training days, but I also make sure to eat breakfast even on days off. If I don\u2019t, I feel like my voice won\u2019t come out properly and I won\u2019t be able to concentrate, but this has been my habitual routine ever since I was little, so I don\u2019t really know what would happen if I skipped breakfast (laughs). I prefer rice in general, so what I\u2019ll always eat is white rice and natto. Besides that, sausages or a boiled egg or something\u2026 On days where I\u2019ll be working really hard I\u2019ll have meat, and eating curry gives me a lot of energy, I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel like if I don\u2019t retain some objectivity, I don\u2019t be able to react to everyone else\u2019s performances or get a feel of the atmosphere around me, so it\u2019s 80 or 85%. I think in order to be the most effective in this situation, I need a third party perspective so I can realize how the audience would be seeing my performance. When I was a junior actress, I was giving my all to just my own performance, but during the shinjin kouen of Don Carlos, and through acting with Chigi-san (Sagiri Seina), that\u2019s changed a lot, I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That wouldn\u2019t be enough time to go abroad, so I think I\u2019d like to go on vacation to Okinawa or one of the remote islands. I could see the beautiful sea and stars, and also get some forest therapy! Even during holiday, I\u2019ll keep thinking about the upcoming performance, so I\u2019d like to take some time to slow down and relax without thinking about anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Playing with a dog! I totally love it. I\u2019ll go to hang out at someone\u2019s house and get them to let me play with their dog, or I\u2019ll watch animal TV programs I\u2019ve recorded or videos online, and it always makes me so happy. They\u2019re so fluffy and comforting to touch, and that defenseless feeling is also really soothing somehow. It\u2019s so cute seeing a dog playing with a baby; even without any words the dog will be able to understand exactly what the baby\u2019s about to do! I\u2019m always struggling over whether or not to get a dog (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studio Ghibli anime. I don\u2019t have to think about anything while I\u2019m watching them, so I\u2019ll turn them on a lot when I just want to space out. The music is really comforting too\u2026 The ones I watch the most are Spirited Away<\/em>, My Neighbor Totoro<\/em>, and Howl\u2019s Moving Castle<\/em>. Once in a while I\u2019ll really pay attention while watching, and then it feels like I\u2019m actually in the world of the movie (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the rehearsal starts, first I\u2019ll practice alone and work against myself. Generally, I\u2019ll head to rehearsal after going for it in my own way first.
Gratitude – 20%<\/em>
Being able to perform onstage requires help from so many sources, most importantly the audience. I try to make sure I don\u2019t take it for granted.
Emotions and sensitivity – 20%<\/em>
I try to treasure how things happen that day in that moment. I always try to keep my antennas up to be attuned to what\u2019s going on.
Freshness and flexibility – 20%<\/em>
I try not to get so used to things that they turn into a routine, so I try to keep feeling like everything happening is fresh and new, and I try to be flexible towards the performance of the people I\u2019m acting with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I\u2019m tense a lot of the time, I\u2019ll try to relax with aromatherapy or scented candles.
Shopping – 20%<\/em>
I like shopping a lot, so I\u2019ll often just randomly go out. I\u2019ll go looking for things to use in photoshoots, or birthday presents for people.
Appreciation (driving and night scenery) – 20%<\/em>
I feel like it\u2019s good if I can absorb a lot of things from watching movies and theatre productions. I also like driving, so I\u2019ll go out to look at night scenery.
Sleep – 10%<\/em>
During rehearsals I\u2019ll be stressed a lot of the time and so I\u2019ll sleep poorly. I\u2019m trying for good quality deep sleep (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
