Juice=Juice's Blogspot: [Translate] Taguchi Natsumi's Interview

         She’s really excited Funaki joined because she’s shorter than her. When she and Hamaura joined, they were about the same size, but Hama-chan has gotten much bigger and she has not so she was worried she would always be the smallest.
         Her generation mates are good at dancing and they both got support from fans pretty quickly, so she hopes she can rise up to their level.
         She takes a while to learn the dances, but when she has to do them alongside singing and expressing she gets really nervous and starts forgetting her dance moves. Because she’s small, she draws attention to herself, so if she messes up then people might think that that’s how the entire program is and might toss them aside. She thinks she needs to improve herself as part of the quality of the program.
          Her rival is Ogawa. She reminds her of herself, since they have the same weaknesses and get told the same things, but after getting criticized Rena will pick herself up and has an attitude like she will work harder the next time. They’re friends, but Taguchi still doesn’t want to lose to her.

Tsunku’s comments: I want a little more strength in your dancing, so you need to work on your muscles. Your sense of rhythm often still comes across as unstable, so I want you to work hard so as to improve your self-confidence.
Her dream is to debut from KSS and have a lot of people see her singing and dancing. She’ll work hard to be able to stand on a large stage when she debuts.
