She spent four days shooting for this back in the latter half of July, after several months of muscle training and a protein diet. She couldn't say what it was for at the time, but she did promise it was something even long distance fans would be able to enjoy.

'm Really Grateful" for Late-Night 30-Minute Shows, First Selection Last Year, AKB48 Taniguchi Megu Tells Us Where the Group is Now
December 10, 2022 10:00a.m.

AKB48's activities, which have been restricted by the corona disaster, are gradually approaching a "pre-corona" state. One of the members who "got a chance" due to the corona disaster is Megu Taniguchi (24).

Taniguchi, who passed an audition in 2013, was selected for the first time as a member of AKB48's first song in a year and a half, "Rumor of Roots and Leaves" (2009), and her fans increased as her media exposure increased. It was shot over four days and three nights in the summer of 2010, and was filled with "my natural and healthy self. We asked her about her thoughts on the photo book and her enthusiasm for her future activities on November 18. (Interviewer and composition: Hiroshi Kudo, J-CAST News Editor)

The 15th term of the versatile group, the first active member to publish a photo book
-- Taniguchi is a member of AKB48's 15th term, and her classmates include group general manager Mine Mukaiji (24) and former Team K captain Haruka Komiyama (24). Among them, Taniguchi is the first current 15th term student to publish a photo book.

Taniguchi: It was unexpected! I never imagined that I would ever publish a photo book while I was in AKB48, and I was not the type of person who could do photogravure work with confidence. I thought I would graduate without releasing a photo book, but I was really surprised and happy to hear about this opportunity. A photo book is something that will stay with me forever, so I am happy to have been able to leave behind a tangible representation of who I am today.
-- The first thing that catches the eye is the title, "The Reason for the Cuteness. The first thing that catches the eye is the title, "Reason for Cuteness. I heard that Taniguchi-san chose it from among several candidates.

Taniguchi: Well... I don't want people to think, "You think you're cute?" (laugh)... (laugh)...but I chose it on a hunch because it was the title that seemed to ring the most bells and shine the brightest.
-- In the message from Yasushi Akimoto, the general producer, on the obi, he says, "Just as it is difficult to explain well why you like someone when you like them, it is difficult to explain well why Megu Taniguchi is so cute. It could be said that this title is a condensation of Ms. Taniguchi's mysteriousness.

Taniguchi: I feel very blessed and happy that Akimoto-sensei wrote the title in this way. I wonder if she thinks it's cute? I don't know if I should think so, but I am still happy.
I wanted to take a shot of the princess child frolicking in the meadow, even if I had to change the location.

-- In a November 17 broadcast on the video distribution service "SHOWROOM," she said of her requests for the photo book, "I said so much. I thought he would hate me, but I'm glad I said so. What kind of suggestions did you make, and were you glad that your suggestions were accepted?

Taniguchi: The cut of the earth and grassland. When I was asked in the planning stage, "Where would you like to shoot? I asked for a shot of "a vast meadow, wearing a white dress and moving around, like a little girl in a foreign country. The photo book was shot at the end of July in the Boso Peninsula for four days and three nights. At first, a different location was planned, but the staff found that place to fulfill my wish and we decided to shoot on the Boso Peninsula.
-- So the grassland element was the most important.

Taniguchi: I really wanted to shoot a cut like a little girl who longs to be a princess overseas...
-- Taniguchi: So it's not a foreign princess frolicking in a meadow, but the "child" in question.

Taniguchi: I thought that if I was going to publish a photo book at a young age, I wanted to include an element of childishness (rather than the princesses themselves), and that would be more in keeping with my personality.
-- What other requests did you have?

Taniguchi: The bath cut. I was told to imagine floating flowers, but I said, "I want a duck (toy)! I said, "I want a toy duck! The ducks he prepared for me were cuter than I expected, and they became my favorite cut.
-- In the October 12 delivery, he said, "Rather than a 'kimekimeki' (sharp) 'bang! and "my natural and healthy self" rather than "sexy" and "cute.

Taniguchi: There are many open cuts. I thought I could show a healthier version of myself. I wanted to make a photo collection that would fit the words "natural," "fresh," and "healthy.
-- There are some shots in swimsuits and lingerie, but you put "healthy" at the forefront of the collection. I think people of all ages, both men and women, and from all walks of life will enjoy viewing these photos.

Taniguchi: Yes, I am sure that female fans will also enjoy this photo book.
-- I heard that the location shooting was generally sunny. （Did you have to wait for the weather to improve?

The sunny weather was a blessing in disguise, "You've got a little bit of it!"
Taniguchi: No, it wasn't! It was as if I was the one who cleared it up (laughs). The first shot I took in the photo book was a shot of the ocean. It was raining lightly when we started preparing, but I thought to myself, "I'm a sunny girl, so it will definitely clear up! I thought, "I'm a sunny girl, so it will definitely clear up!
-- I'm a sunny girl...!

Taniguchi: On the first day, we shot about three pieces of clothing, and it gradually cleared up. By the evening when we took the last shot of the yukata, it had cleared up completely. I was able to capture a nice sunset and thought to myself, "I've got a little bit of talent! (laughs). (laughs). It really was a great location for the shoot.
-- The end of July is also a very nice time of year, isn't it?

Taniguchi: It was like a summer vacation! Taniguchi: It's like a summer vacation, and it's very refreshing. The staff found some spots during the shoot, and we were able to take some fantastic shots in the cave.
-- There are many very healthy shots in this photo book.

Taniguchi: Around May.
Dieting while holding out for precious doughnuts
-- About two months before the shooting. I think I worked hard for the past two months, dieting and so on. I heard that you held back from eating some of the food that you normally love to eat...

Taniguchi: I had to wait in line for an hour for the "I'm donut ? Taniguchi: I once received a doughnut as a gift that I had to wait in line for an hour to get. Normally, I am so greedy that I am the first one to go get them, but since I did not go get them, I guess some members noticed that I was on a diet for the photo book. (Laughs) Ayaki (Yuri) is a very perceptive member when it comes to such things, so she asked me if there was anything going on. (laughs) Ayaki (Yuri) is a very perceptive member when it comes to such things, so I told her at that time.
-- So you put up with the precious doughnuts and worked hard at the gym introduced to you by Anna Iriyama (26, graduated in 2009).

Taniguchi: I had never been to a gym before, so Anna (Iriyama) introduced me to one, and I have been going there continuously since the photo book shoot ended. I've worked hard to get back into the shape I'm in now that I've toned up.
-- In the comments section of the SHOWROOM, it seems that many fans noticed your diet.

Taniguchi: In AKB48 Mail (a paid e-mail service for fans), I received messages like, "I worked out again today! I'll definitely have something happy to report, so please wait for me!" I wrote things like "I've been training today! I worked hard on my diet and muscle training to report to my fans.
-- Have you shown this to your family yet?

Taniguchi: I did! My grandmother especially said, "I'm so glad you got really beautiful pictures of me. I'm glad you're alive," and she cried. I didn't expect her to cry, so I am glad I was able to do something for her. My mother was very complimentary of the cut we took at Yoro Valley. It was fresh, the weather was beautiful, and the scenery was one piece in the forest. She said, "I feel like I'm in Ghibli."

-- With the release of her photo book, Taniguchi's field of activities seems to be expanding. On the other hand, the activities of her AKB48 group seem to be at a crossroads, as she said in her November 16th delivery, "Rather than feeling regret or saying 'I'm sorry,' I'm feeling positive and saying, 'Let's try harder next time. His most recent Kohaku appearance was in 1919, immediately after which he entered the Corona Disaster. How have your activities changed over the past two years? In terms of delivery.

"It was quite significant that I met people who came back out and new people who supported us. I wonder if AKB48 is gradually gaining recognition now."
He said. You were selected for the first time for "Roots and Leaves Rumor. How do you perceive your recent situation?

Taniguchi: Being selected for "Rumor" was very significant. I think this song is one that has gained renewed enthusiasm among AKB48 members, and I was very happy to be selected for this song, which has been the talk of the town on social networking sites and danced to by many people on TikTok. （I was at the very back of the line (standing position), but thankfully, I was in a position where the camera was able to capture me in close-ups, and there were many people who became interested in me after watching the music program. Meeting new fans was the most gratifying thing for me. It is frustrating not to be able to perform at the Reco Grand and Kohaku, but in my mind, I am more than happy that I have more fans who support me, so I am trying to stay positive and do my best.
-- I think the way the group has changed considerably, including the influence of the Corona disaster. For example, after "Roots and Leaves Rumor," only AKB48 members began to participate in AKB48 songs. What do you think of this change in structure?

Taniguchi: After being selected as a member for "Roots and Leaves Rumor," we were able to have two AKB48-controlled programs, which was significant. AKB48 Sayonara Mouri-san" (NTV) and "Have you heard about AKB48 lately? Why don't we do something together? (TV Tokyo). I often appear on the former program in particular. It is truly amazing that AKB48 can do a variety show, and that AKB48 can have its own TV show now. I am really grateful for the 30 minutes of late night time.
-- In the past, there was Rino Sashihara (30, graduated in 19) in Fukuoka (HKT48), Sayaka Yamamoto (29, graduated in 18) in Osaka (NMB48), and Jurina Matsui (25, graduated in 21) in Nagoya (SKE48), and that was how "AKB48's program AKB48 program" had been established. Now, the program is made up of only Tokyo (AKB48) members, which seems to have expanded opportunities for Taniguchi-san.

Taniguchi: Well, since the Corona disaster, I have been on the receiving end of opportunities, and I was very happy to be selected as a member of AKB48 after it became an independent organization.
The role I would like to play in the future is "a normal girl like a friend.

-- What do you want to do in the year 2011? What would you like to do as a group or as an individual? What goals, if any, do you have?

Taniguchi: I would like to try many new things as long as there is an opportunity. I think I can still challenge myself, so I would like to do various jobs, but in the future I would like to work as an actress. I would like to do my best to appear in dramas and on stage, and I hope that the 23rd year will be a year in which I can enrich my personal work in addition to my activities in AKB48.
-- In the drama "Majimuri Gakuen" (NTV, 2006), you played "Zwei," a member of the student council that rules the school. I was impressed by how scary and sharp he looked. Would you like to gain experience in that kind of acting?

Taniguchi: Yes, but I would also like to try my hand at playing ordinary girls, like playing a friend. （I have played many scary and scary roles, like in "Majisuka Gakuen 5" (NTV, 2003), in which I played the role of the president...
-- When you announced the release of your photo book on SHOWROOM, some fans were worried that it might be a graduation announcement. Can I understand that that seems unlikely for the time being?

Taniguchi: I still want to stay in AKB48 and stay as long as I can. Of course, I still think about it (graduation), but there are still people who say, "I love being an idol, Megu," so I will do my best as long as I can.

Some bad news from Megu of an injury :
https://twitter.com/o_megu1112/status/1620268743225147392

Google translation:

After the flu, I couldn't stop coughing, my ribs hurt, and when I went to the hospital, I was diagnosed with a costal cartilage fracture. I'm really sorry that I have to take a break from HADO this time. It's sad that I can't perform because my heart is so healthy, but I'm going to rest now so that I can recover quickly.
