Hirai Miyo's Talk Event "Harosho 1001 Nights - 69th Night"


50 Questions for Hirai Miyo (Q1 to Q10)


Q1. You mentioned that Morning Musume’s Help Me MV made an impression on you. What specifically made an impression?

I got to know Morning Musume through my elder sister. For me it was this crisp movement (started doing dance moves) 

and the formation dance. It was really cool. It being an EDM song impressed me. Also, Oda Sakura-san’s solo part "Kokoro ja..." made a big impression. 


Q2. If you were to scout for a new junior member to join the Haropuro Dance Club, who would it be? 

Tamenaga Shion-chan. Her dance is powerful and mature-looking.


Q3. If you could freely change your hair for a day, be it long or a different color, what would it be? 

The longest hair I’ve ever had was during middle school. It was below the shoulders length. I wish to have it longer than that, around waist length. I want to try brighter colored hair like whitish blonde. When I dance I want my hair to go SWISH~ SWISH~. That’s one of my dreams.  

(T/N: You want to be Sephiroth right?)



Q4. What drives you everyday?

The members of BEYOOOOONDS. I feel a sense of relief whenever they’re around.  


Q5. In your profile, I read that you like the movie “Leon”. What other movies do you like or recommend? 

Shimakura Rika-chan also likes the movie “Leon” and we often talk about it. Another movie that Rika-chan and I like is “Begin Again”. Initially I like fantasy movies but this is probably the first Slice-of-Life type of movie I got into. The movie has nice and stylish songs. It also shows how the power of music influences people and how to sell music, which is relevant to us who are in the music industry. It is a wonderful movie so please watch it.    


Q6. The kanji of your name “Miyo” (美葉) is lovely. Were there other kanji candidates for your name? 

The meaning of my name is to be like a leaf shining brightly under the sun. When fall comes, it’s beautifully red; When winter comes, it withers but a new life will begin once more. It is like a continuous cycle without any break. I haven’t heard of other candidates for my name before, so that’s it and... I like my name. 


Q7. I have the impression that the members often call you “azatoi”. Please let us know which other BEYOOOOONDS members do you think are “azatoi” too. Also, if you may, please show us your “azatoi” pose.

Well, Shiorin is the queen of “azatoi” but there are many members who are quite “azatoi” too. Rika-chan shows her “azatoi” as a joke whereas Honoka-chan, who has a cold-hearted vibe, will show her “azatoi” when she praises the members. This made the members fall in love with her. This person is quite the schemer. 


(Finally, somewhat unwillingly, she did an azatoi pose)


Q8. Among the new Hello! Project members, who catches your eyes most? (Tsubaki/J=J/ Kenshusei new unit)

Hmm I haven't had many chances to talk to the new members... Personally I think it is Yofuu Runo-chan. I watched her Shindan test and I think she has a great singing voice. I am curious how she’ll use her talent in Tsubaki Factory.


Q9. What are you looking forward to this summer?

I want to play with sparklers. Go to festivals or do summer activities since I haven’t done them in years. Lately, I bought a hand sized musical instrument, the kind where you press the keys(showing movement using her thumbs) to make a sound. I want to practice it with BEYOOOOONDS’ song and upload it to social networks some day. Please look forward to it.

(T/N: From her gesture, the musical instrument could be a Kalimba)


Q10. Which perfume you use? What kind of scent do you like?

For me, perfume is kind of a secret. I have two perfumes at the moment and one of them is the same as what Angerme’s Takeuchi Akari-san uses, called "Aux Paradis Savon". Once I came across Takeuchi-san and asked what was that good scent on her. It was a coincidence that we’re using the same perfume.  The other perfume I’m using is a secret. As for the kind of scent I like… I prefer floral over fruity. I’m not too fond of strong scents, so something gentle like bath salt.

Songs Magazine vol.4: BEYOOOOONDS / SeasoningS Interview (2022/2/15)

This single has expanded the range of expression of BEYOOOOONDS! 12-person idol group BEYOOOOONDS is embarking on their first solo hall tour and a concert at Nippon Budokan this spring. In anticipation of their big performance, they have released a transcending controversial work, "Eiyuu ~Waratte! Chopin Senpai~", a Japanese cover of a famous song by Chopin. And "Hamkatsu Mokushiroku," which is guaranteed to make you want to eat ham katsu! We asked the members, Hirai Miyo, Kobayashi Honoka, and Satoyoshi Utano, to tell us about the untold stories behind the production. (Hirai Miyo x Kobayashi Honoka x Satoyoshi Utano in Songs Magazine vol.4) --- What was your impression when you first heard  "Eiyuu ~Waratte! Chopin Senpai~"? Hirai : I was surprised that a famous Chopin song that everyone knows is our new song, but then we heard the shocking lyrics that begin with "Hey, why are you so hungry?" (nee...nande saa onaka ga suku no?) . Everyone was so

Weekly Famitsu's "Monthly Harodori" features Hirai Miyo / BEYOOOOONDS / SeasoningS (2021/11/4)

"My goal is to become a performer who isn’t confined in a single genre." - Hirai Miyo (Hirai Miyo, a member of BEYOOOOONDS with a reputation for her dance, showcases her versatile skills) ---- In BEYOOOOONDS, Hirai-san often plays a boyish role, but today we photographed you in both a boyish and girly look. Hirai: It's true that in our group activities, I often play male roles, or I'm asked to sing the low notes, adding cool accents into our songs. I admired the male roles in Takarazuka and aspired to become a Takarazuka performer myself, so I am happy to be asked to perform in this way in the group. However, from now on I would like to show that I can do cute things too, but I can't completely swing that way (laughs). There are lots of other cute girls in the group, so I feel inferior.  ---- In the group, Hirai-san is known for her dance! Hirai: I've learned classical ballet for 14 years, so it is one thing I’m confident in. I self taught hip-hop dance becaus

Harosho 1001 Nights: 50 Questions for Hirai Miyo (Q41 - Q50)

50 Questions for Hirai Miyo (Q41 to Q50)   Q41. For theatrical work, you are often casted for a male role. If you’re casted for a female role, what kinda role would you want to act? From your past work, which female character would you want to act?  Back when I was aiming for Takarazuka, due to my height I thought it was impossible for me to be casted for a male role, so I was really aiming for a female role at that time. As for the female character in Engeki Joshibu I want to act, it is Ichioka Reina-chan’s role in Arabeyooooonds Night, Princess Nurennahar . Q42. What is your favorite movie quote and why?(T/N: She couldn’t think of a movie quote so she answered the movie she likes) I like James Bond 007: Skyfall . I like spy movies in general. I’m sorry I drifted away from the question, please forgive me.   Q43. I like the hairstyle you had at the audition. Is there another hairstyle you want to try next time?  I answered a similar question earlier but it is difficult to have such li
