What does their first documentary tell about them? Asking the 6 members Keyakizaka46’s documentary movie “Our Lies and Truth: Documentary of Keyakizaka46”. From going around CD stores before debut, nervously showing an awkward smile to their first One Man Live, their first appearance in Kouhaku Uta Gassen, their first National Tour, and then the Tokyo Dome performance that they arrived at after three and a half years, behind the scenes of the postponed 9th single, until the sudden withdrawal of Hirate Yurina who has centered all singles. Now as the group heads toward the 4th anniversary of their debut on 6th April 2020, how do they perceive the meaning of releasing the first documentary of the group?

Watanabe: There was an opportunity for me to talk about things I never said before in interviews and such, and I wondered if there is something that could be conveyed more by watching the videos never made public before. The movie begins with the sc

It seems that at some point her negative emotions became repressed. However, sometimes anger could become the trigger. Now that the seal of  her heart has been broken, she is different from before. Come at me if you want. Such state of mind.   The experience that you obtained from the days of working on the stage play “Hiryuuden2020” , it undoubtedly became your flesh and blood right? That’s right, it’s the first time I’ve been given the main role in a stage play, there was an incredible amount of lines and I suddenly entered amongst a group of people who really seriously put themselves into theatre, so  at first, there were feelings of “I’ve got to do this” and that I desperately needed to catch up to them.   Apart from Sugai-san, it was a company of males, that’s quite unique isn’t it. My usual activities are in a female group and I grew up in all-girls schools, so as expected, at the start I felt a bit awkward. But it wasn’t just about the males, as the role of Kam
