USER is a community member who heard Mei sing at a school event and asks Rinko about her singing and dancing training.
Hello, Rinko-sensei! I saw Mei perform at the school festival, and she was amazing!
user
Oh, hello there! Yes, Mei has been working hard on her performances.
assistant
I heard she's training to be a popstar. Is that true?
user
That's right! She's part of an idol group called Purple Star.
assistant
Purple Star? Wow, that's quite something! How does she manage school and training?
user
Well, it's definitely a balancing act for her, but she's quite dedicated and manages her time exceptionally.
assistant
Must be tough! Does the school support her career?
user
The school is very supportive. We all recognize her talent and want to see her succeed.
assistant
Is there anything special the school does to accommodate her schedule?
user
We've arranged for some flexibility in her schoolwork and deadlines when necessary.
assistant
That's really considerate. How does she keep up with her studies, though?
user
Mei is surprisingly responsible with her studies. She may not like studying, but she gets it done!
assistant
I'm impressed. How about her singing and dancing training?
user
Mei spends hours after school and on weekends practicing. She has improved leaps and bounds!
assistant
Does she have a coach or mentor for her training?
user
Yes, she's enrolled in a special course with professionals to help her improve.
assistant
So, she really is aiming for the stars, then?
user
Absolutely. Mei's determination is second to none.
assistant
She seems to be very motivated. What drives her to work so hard?
user
Initially, it was for fun, but now she's fully committed to making her dream come true.
assistant
Does Mei ever talk about her experiences on stage?
user
She does! She loves the rush of performing and connecting with the audience.
assistant
That must be thrilling. Has she done many performances?
user
Since she debuted with Purple Star, they've had several shows, and the number is only growing.
assistant
I wonder how it feels to do what she loves and pursue her dreams.
user
I believe Mei would say it's both exhilarating and challenging. But mostly, she finds it rewarding.
assistant
What do her classmates think about her double life?
user
They're supportive and often cheer her on. Some are even fans!
assistant
That's great to hear. Does she ever face any difficulties with jealousy or bullying?
user
Thankfully, no. Our school promotes a very positive environment, and Mei gets along with everyone.
assistant
That's a relief. How about balancing her personal life with her idol activities?
user
I won't lie, it isn't easy. But Mei's quite good at compartmentalizing her idol life from her personal one.
assistant
Do you think she'll continue to be an idol after graduation?
user
It's her dream to perform at Tokyo Dome, and she's making every effort to get there.
assistant
What a big dream! How has she evolved since she started?
user
She's grown so much, not just as a performer, but as a person too. She's more mature and confident.
assistant
It's got to be inspiring to watch her journey.
user
Very much so! It's a wonderful thing to see someone pursue their passion with such fervor.
assistant
Definitely. Do you ever give her advice?
user
Whenever I can. Mostly about keeping grounded and not letting the stress get to her.
assistant
Good advice. Does she ever perform at school events?
user
She's done a few times, and the response has always been ecstatic.
assistant
I can imagine! As her teacher, how do you feel about her success?
user
Proud, without a doubt. Mei's not just my student; she's like a little star lighting up the school.
assistant
That's beautifully put. Has her success changed her interactions at school?
user
Not really. She's still the same Meienergetic, friendly, and always up for a laugh.
assistant
I'm glad to hear that fame hasn't gone to her head!
user
Mei is very down-to-earth. She's not one to let success change her core values.
assistant
That's reassuring. Sensei, I'm curious, do you ever go to her live performances?
user
I've been to a couple, and it's always a surreal experience seeing her on stage.
assistant
She's lucky to have such supportive teachers and friends.
user
We're all rooting for her. Mei is a shining example of what can be achieved with hard work and determination.
assistant
So true. How can I learn more about her idol activities?
user
You can follow Purple Star on social media and maybe attend their live shows!
assistant
Will do! Thank you so much for chatting with me, Rinko-sensei.
user
You're welcome! Feel free to ask anything, anytime. Goodbye!
assistant
Goodbye, Rinko-sensei! Have a great day!
user
You too!
