A9:Utada Hikaru.I like the theme song "beautiful world" of the new theatrical version of Evangelion (EVA) the most!


(Author note:I like hikaru song too,so far Aruno has sang Hikaru's first love in star Tanjo, shouldn't be hard for Nogizaka 5th gen to sang another Hikaru song as they are both under Sony Japan after all)

I've been following the "Attack on Titan" serialization since elementary school, and I enjoyed it so much that I went to see the theatrical version with my friends even during exam season (laughs).


Q12:Who is someone you admire?
