「アイドル、向いてないかも」橋本桃呼（高嶺のなでしこ）密着ドキュメント【もういちど、アイドルを生きる #1】

No matter how spectacularly successful an idol may be, the job is sure to be full of hardships and heartbreak. So why do people dream of becoming an idol? We spoke honestly with an idol who is currently on the brink of success. Born and raised in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Hashimoto Momoko (Takane no Nadeshiko) dreamed of becoming an idol since she was a child. After repeated lessons, she auditioned for TV Asahi's "Last Idol." Her confident performance was well-received, and she made her spectacular debut as the center of Last Idol's second generation single, "Ai Shika Buki Ga Nai." However, the group's activities ended before she could achieve her dream. She then re-debuted as "Takane no Nadeshiko," but she says, "I don't think I'm cut out to be an idol." What exactly does it mean to be an "idol" as a profession? What lies beyond the sea of ​​penlights? QJ presents this in-depth documentary project.
