・You were born and raised in Tokyo, right?

Rina:I was born in Nagano and raised in Tokyo.

・What kind of child were you at your early age?

Rina:I teased each other endlessly with my friends.
I used to say. "Unchi(poop)"
My friends called me crazy. lol

・What did you like?

Rina:I was a huge fan of "Precure".

・You were discovered at Omotesando by a talent scout when you were a 1st year elementary student.

Rina:Yeah. I went to Omotesando with my mom, my friend and my friend's mom on that day.
I was discovered twice at Omotesando by Stardust's talent scouts on the same day.
My friend's mom said to my mom. "She should be made her debut in show business."
If my friend's mom had not said, I could not have made my debut.

・Did you know something about show business?

Rina:No.
My mom said. "Show business is like Oshare Majo Love and Berry(anime)."

・What was your dream when you were little?

Rina:My mom is a patissier, so my childhood dream was to become a patissier.

・Did you enjoy your job?

Rina:Yeah.
I went to zoo for McDonald's CM. I remember that it was very fun.

I appeared in movie and TV drama with Nakagoshi Noriko san and Ueto Aya san.
They are very kind and are good actresses. I want to be a good actress like them.

・You joined the Mini Cheer Bears when you were a 5th year elementary student.
You met Ayaka chan, Hirono chan and Nacchan for the first time there.

Rina:Ayaka was really adult-like. I was especially close to Natsu.

・You graduate from the Mini Cheer Bears

Rina:Hirono and Natsu were the graduation age at the Mini Cheer Bears. But I was not the graduation age.

・Why did you graduate from the Mini Cheer Bears?

Rina:I was already 160cm tall. I was not "mini", so Mini Cheer costumes were not my size. lol
If I had been shorter, I would not have jointed the EbiChu.

・You joined the EbiChu in May, 2010.

Rina:I knew Mayama from before. But I had never really talked with Mayama until our majior debut.
Mirei is not shy of strangers. So she talked to me pleasantly.
Aiai was adult-like. Aiai and Ayaka had been close since that time.(Rina-Hirono, Mirei-Natsu)

・Kashiwagi Hinata joined.

Rina:I think that you have already heard that episode from Mirei, right? lol
I got close to Hinata little by little.

・How was EbiChu?

Rina:Anyhow concerts were very fun for me.

・After that you started to have an interest in idols?

Rina:I was interested in Momoclo chan and became a big fan of Akarin.
I become an idol. But I have pretty much never thought that I was idol.

・3 girls left the EbiChu in December, 2013.

Rina:I didn't want them to leave the EbiChu.

・Have you ever thought that you leave the EbiChu?

Rina:I would be lying if I had never thought it before. But I had absolutely no intent to take action.

・That is because EbiChu was fun?

Rina:The concerts were especially fun.
I was not good at standing up in front of people until just a little while ago.
I got a bright personality by those experience.

・Kaho and Riko joined the EbiChu.

Rina:Kaho has a cheerful personality. I had never met such an interesting girl until now.
Riko was very tense and was frightened.
I(Ayaka, Aiai, Rina and Hinata) was the youngest of the EbiChu, so I didn't know how to deal with younger girls.
As we work together, Riko gradually opened up to me.

・What has changed since then?

Rina:I think that the many things have changed.
Mizuki was the leader of the EbiChu. Mayama was depending on her.
She didn't used to betray her weakness, but now she is opening up to us.
I have hardly ever spoken with Ayaka until Kaho and Riko joined us.
I became close with Ayaka because I came to go Juice=Juice's events with her often.
Hinata was a spoiled coward. But now she is Kaho and Riko's older sister.

・What are thinking for your future?

Rina:I want to have many people know about EbiChu.
In the future, I want to be successful as a fashion model and an actress.
