I intended on doing an 'actual' translation but as I don't think I'll manage to make time to sit down, I'm just going to read it and 'summarily translate' it below:
Shimakura Rika (17)
20th August 2010, Tokyo, 1 Year 3 Months
Fiesta! Fiesta! - JUICE=JUICE
(Debut confirmed)
1. I wanted to perform something that will leave an impact and something that was completely different to the image that I'd made for myself up until now. At the last recital I worried that I "don't have sex appeal" (haha) and I decided to choose a dance and a song that had a more mature vibe. 2. I think this has been my best performance to date, though when I listened back to it I did think that the singing was a bit lacking. Investigator (I can't remember what this has been translated to in English before) Shimizu Saki said she remembers me from a year ago and said I'd really made progress, that made me very happy. When I received the best performance award I was really surprised, it was like a dream. This is something I'll remember forever. 3. I like dinosaurs and sharks and I like being outdoors in nature. People say I'm surprisingly boyish (haha). Karate is something Maeda Kokoro is known for but actually, I also studied it in the past! 4. Last year I didn't have much experience with dance and singing and I felt really anxious but now I really enjoy performing and I feel like I can do these things now. I want to become an idol, like my Hello! Project seniors, that can dance and sing in cool and cute ways. I want to sing on a big stage someday!
I translated this very quickly by going back and forth between two tabs so apologies if it's incomprehensible. I will try to do Matsubara's shortly!
