Tanimoto Ami

Interview of Tsubaki Factory (Camellia Factory) members by UFL-Staff: Ami Tanimoto
To celebrate their major debut, UFL interviewed all the members of the group!

UFL-Staff: First of all, please introduce yourself.
Ami Tanimoto: I am Ami Tanimoto, 17 years old, from Hokkaido.

UFL-Staff: How did you feel when you heard you were going to have your major debut?
Ami Tanimoto: I was soooooo happy, but directly thought about what will we have to do after. Now, I feel only happiness.

UFL-Staff: Did you have the chance of going overseas? If yes, where? And where would you like to go in the future?
Ami Tanimoto: Not yet... I would like to go to Los Angeles! If I think about anything concerning overseas, Los Angeles directly comes to my mind! This is just my image! (Laughing) I also would like to discover Germany with all the castles.

UFL-Staff: What is your goal from now?
Ami Tanimoto: Of course improving in the choreographies and singing parts but I also have to improve my way of talking during the MCs. I have to be careful at the way I talk and how I express my feelings with my body. I also need to pay attention at which vocabulary I need to use at the right moment (In Japanese, there are several ways of talking really polite, a bit polite, not polite, etc.).

UFL-Staff: Please describe yourself in two words.
Ami Tanimoto: Positive! Because whatever happens, I think about things in the positive way. Thanks to this, if any bad thing happens, I will forget about it. I am the most positive member of the group. And the second word is “gap”. There is a huge gap between my appearance and my inside. Some people told me my outside look adult but in fact, I am still childish and noisy.

UFL-Staff: A last word to the foreigners and people who discover you?
Ami Tanimoto: Is it ok to not speak English? (Laughing)

UFL-Staff: Of course, because I will translate in English your answers!
Ami Tanimoto: Thank you! (Laughing) Please support us, we would like to have fans all over the world!
