Naturally I wanted to make the project a little more personal and combined my love of Japanese trains with the idea of spreading information about them and the adventures you can have through them!

A personal idol project, bringing together two things I love, I want to have fun on stage while also spreading knowledge about trains! This project started after I finally overcame my fears and returned to the stage for the first time since school at the Amecon Omake 2018, performing a dance medley. I had so much fun a fire was lit and I needed to get back on the stage. I have loved idols for so long and wanted to experience that shining feeling more.
I decided to design my first set list and outfit around the E7 Shinkansen. The E7 series is a Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train type operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). I got to ride the E7 when I visited Toyama Prefecture, travelling from Omiya Station in Saitama prefecture. It wasn't the first bullet train I ever rode, that would be the N700 Series which travels from Tokyo to Kyoto, a popular route for tourists. I decided to go for the E7 rather then the N700 as I wanted to bring light to trains that people might not have heard of before.
My friend Jasmine made the dress come to life!
​
From the very beginning I had plans for different outfits and themes based around other trains. I get a different feeling from different trains and hope to convey that in my set lists. I was only able to perform twice in 2019, both with my E7 dress however with 2020 I hope to bring more trains to life. I've written more in depth posts about my current and upcoming outfits and the planning that goes into them and the set lists.
