A work where turmoil homosexuality, jealousy, bullying, robbery, lust and violence. Tell us about your role in this story Rena-chan.

Rena – My character is in love with Jurina. But Jurina is a wicked playboy or rather playgirl, the Madonna* of the school. She has many girls who like her and she makes a move on many of them in return. There, Jurina notices I like her and she makes a pass at me too.

Then, why the slapping?

Rena – In the end, Jurina runs to Matsurina to frolic (TL : “play” in the text) with her… Which results in a reciprocal slapping scene. The theme of the song is 「as bad feelings grow stronger, let’s confess to fulfill this unrequited love」, the MV story in the other hand is 「one-sided feelings are unveiled, one love dies 」. And then every and each of the members are involved in some love affairs, that makes for an interesting video in my opinion.

Is there any anecdote about the shooting you could tell us about ?

Rena – There is a scene where I’m by myself in a suzune field. That field was really beautiful, I was delighted to shoot that scene here 「Ah, wonderful~」. I started walking holding on some suzune. But immediately my nose started itching really bad, I felt an headache coming and my ears started felling blocked. I wondered 「Why ?」and turned out I was allergic to suzune. Still this scenery was really beautiful and I made good memories there but I ended up returning from Okinawa with an allergy. And so, for now, suzune are no-no…. (laugh).

*Italian term used in Japanese to describe a beautiful and popular girl.
