More Keyakizaka members are aiming to be centre

I had begun to think that Techi (Hirate Yurina) was the fixed centre in Keyakizaka46. But it turns out that other members have ambitions to rise to that position.

In an interview in Bubka magazine, Mona (Shida Manaka), Risa (Watanabe Risa) and Sugai-sama revealed their ambitions.

Risa:
  • Mona asked if she was competitive. "Uh-huh. I hate to lose."
  • There's no way she could be satisfied with her current position
  • She thinks it would be good to stand at centre someday, but she doesn't have the inner strength for that (yet).
Sugai-sama:
  • She does want to move forward.
  • Mona: "Surprising." Sugai: "Does it not seem like it?"  Mona: "You want to go there?" Sugai: "Uh-huh. As long as I'm good enough."
  • But she doesn't have the image for centre now. Her ability is not there yet.
  • She thinks her age (20) is a handicap. The lack of time makes her impatient.
  • She'd like to be in a sub-unit, with "Akanen or Habu-chan." Three people would be okay, too.
Mona:

  • She does want to stand in front, but she wants to move there in the natural course of things.
  • She'd hate to step out front before she was up to it, and wreck things.
  • She can't imagine any of the current front line moving back.
  • But it wouldn't wreck the image, would it? Mona: "Yes, I think it would....  And not just me, anyone else would be the same.... Present company (included).... Lol."
Elsewhere, even Yone-san has expressed the hope she could be at centre...someday. And Nijika has apologized to her fans for being in the back row. It's normal for an idol -- for anyone in show business -- to be ambitious.

I suspect Zuumin (Imaizumi Yui) wants to be centre: her singing is excellent, and her dancing is pretty good, too. I don't know if Yui-pon (Kobayashi Yui) wants to be centre, but she could definitely do it: her singing may be even better, and she seems to be a natural dancer.

My own thought is that only people whom you could imagine being centre should be up front. That goes for everyone who's there now except Berika.
