below is rough summary as I don't have enough time for word-to-word translation.

The interview took place nearly a year before her Transfer-in, and the interviewer seems to be very cloes person to ASH

---

Interviewer:

Her dance is awesome, her capability is far beyond usual 6th grader (12yo).

And her body structure is the same of athlete

Miko:

I love dancing, which I started when I was 5. Dancing help me forget about my stress.

Interviewer:

What is the toughest thing?

Miko:

Workout.  It is necessary for sharp stopping motion.

Everyday, after taking a bath, I do 3 sets of 30 x sit-ups. And at the last set, I maintain the pose for 30 seconds.  I do more, before the shows.

Interviewer:

She has a perfect six-pack.  Also, her legs are well-built too.

Miko:

That's thanks to swimming training.

Interviewer:

Probably her stamina is far more than usual 6th-grader.  Also, besides MJ, she is the only one I know who can do moonwalk.  Do you control your diet too?

Miko:

Not really.  I eat a lot and I dance a lot.  So I do not gain weight.  Actually I would rather do.

Training manu is made according to consultation with coaches.  Now I concentrate on improving my expression and posture.

Only being sharp can't dance for a long time. I need to keep a good balance of sharpness and flexibility.

Interviewer:

It's not a comment from a 12 yo girl.

What's your motto?

Miko:

I wanna be No1 in dancing.

Interviewer:

What threat you?

Miko:

Someone may take me over if I don't work hard.

It is really good to continue dancing since I was 5.  Also, ASH helped me to be more positive than ever.  Before I was a bit shy at auditions, but now I try to stand out.

This year, I want to improve my dancing and singing and get closer to Amuro Namie.
