[Press Liaison Desk] An idol born in the note world: A direct interview with her mother-producer
Good morning ☀︎
I'm Chill Mommy, chief reporter for the Home Press Department 🫡
The theme of this report is
an idol born in the note world.
Her name isArara.
And there is someone who could be called the
“producer”who introduced this idol to the world.
She is her mother and a content creator,
Ms. Hitomi Kumano.
The Home Press Department interviewed her about
the behind-the-scenes of the “Arara Project”this time.
■ How the idol was born
Reporter:
What was the trigger for deciding to make Arara the center of your content?
Ms. Hitomi Kumano:
It wasn't any special trigger; I was just writing about daily events.
But as I kept writing,
Arara's actions and words
started to seem a bit interesting.
It feels like I'm just
recording that as it is.
When you actually read the articles,
there isa characterthat
truly exists there.
Unexpectedactions.
Uniqueideas.
Words that make youlaughunintentionally.
All of these are recorded as
the Arara of today.
It is no wonder that her fans are increasing.
■ Mother and producer
Reporter:
While reading, I felt a perspective somewhat like a producer's.
Ms. Hitomi Kumano:
It's nothing so grand, but I do want to convey Arara's charm.
An idol always has a producer.
Someone who finds their charm,
puts it into words,
and sends them out onto the stage.
Ms. Kumano's writing naturally exudes that role.
She
observesArara's actions,sometimes
laughs,and sometimes chooses her words while
recordingthem.That accumulation is what shapes
“the idol image of Arara”
.
■ Turning unevenness into a “story”
Developmental unevenness is often discussed in the context of
“how to support it.”Of course that is important, but a different view emerges from Ms. Kumano's words.The unevenness is not just a problem, but appears as
a story unique to that child.
Standing by her side as a mother, sometimes laughing like an audience member, and sometimes choosing words like a producer.
Perhaps that is how the idol Arara was born.
On the stage of note, one little idol is standing on stage today, shining brightly.
