My name is First Summer Uika. The only fan club I have ever joined in my life is NEVERLAND, and watching i-talk while having a drink is my daily joy and healing. I had the honor of participating in the chorus of 'どうしよっかな'. This summer, when i-dle came to Japan for a music program, I happened to be recording in the neighboring studio, which led to this opportunity. I was surprised and delighted by the unexpected offer, feeling like I was in a state of 'オットカジ'. I feel that many coincidences, such as my past activities in a group named 'IDLE' and the name of my current agency being 'CUBE', have come together to create this connection. I hope that through my participation in this song, more people will get to know i-dle, and it will be a chance for new fans to be born. I was, of course, nervous and conflicted about whether I was the right person, but I sang with all my love and feelings. During the music video shoot, I honestly wanted the members to be on screen for as long as possible, but I was truly honored to be able to participate. Utilizing my experience playing a female fisherman in a drama, I made sure to splash the water nicely while supporting the net, but I made sure not to splash the members. Please pay attention to the innocent and cute expressions of the members! i-dle always brings happiness and emotion. I love them dearly! I want to protect them! I am filled with gratitude. Thank you so much! I am still a rookie fan, but together with the Japan fans, I will continue to support i-dle's activities with all my might. Thank you very much!
