Is this the tradition of AKB48? Sato Kisei, Ito Momoka, Omori Maho, and Yamazaki Sora taught me the importance of courtesy.

Yamazaki Sora, Sato Kisei, Ito Momoka, Omori Maho AKB48’s Sato Kisei (20), Ito Momoka (21), Omori Maho (25), Yamazaki Sora (20) 1 We interviewed them on the 28th of the month, and I was surprised to see that all four of them were very polite. This was a press conference held at the same station in Tokyo to celebrate the release of the Blu-ray and DVD of the TV Tokyo drama “Hoshizuku Telepath,” starring Sato and the other three stars as the main cast. When they entered the press conference, all four of them stopped once and bowed their heads deeply. After walking about 10 meters and waiting in a row, I bowed my head again and greeted him with a deep look on my face, “Thank you very much.” It’s probably the instruction from the agency and the seniors, but AKB48, which marks its 20th anniversary, is a group that has long cherished politeness. Before its popularity sparked, I remember what was said by an executive from an entertainment agency where many big-breasted idols belonged to. “A group called AKB holds regular performances in Akihabara, and they are very polite. I still have a lot of skills in dance and singing, but they are very hard work and I want to support them. I also give my talent that attitude I want to emulate you. Please go and see it once.” It was from someone I trusted, so I was interested in AKB48, who I had never seen or interviewed, asking, “Would I praise you so much?” It’s been nearly 20 years and of course there are no members from that time. It may be the usual for the four of them in front of them, but I was honestly impressed by their politeness. It’s particularly large of the four of us. During the Q&A session, I said at the beginning, “It’s a large portion,” and then started talking. This was supposed to be because there would be some reporters whose faces and names do not match. I also felt attentive here. Even after the press conference he bowed deeply and said, “Thank you.” At the exit of the venue, they turned to the reporter and did the same thing. It reminds you of the etiquette that will be performed before and after a match in judo or karate. After all, courtesy is important. This was an interview site where young people were taught this again.[Matsumoto Hisashi]
