高嶺のなでしこ、初の韓国ワンマンライブ！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#6】

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 cusp 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 her dream was even realized. She then re-debuted as "Takane no Nadeshiko," but she says, "I don't think I'm cut out to be an idol." This time, we accompanied her on her solo concert in Korea, "TAKANE NO NADESHIKO LIVE 2025 SUMMER in SEOUL." We followed the group closely as they performed in Korea for the first time. What does it mean to be an "idol" as a profession? What lies beyond the sea of ​​penlights? A QJ-produced documentary.
