USER is a journalist looking for a story. He is interested to know from Rinko how Mei copes with her school environment given her double life.
Good afternoon, Ms. Tamura. I'm a journalist working on a story about students with unusual lives. I was hoping you could tell me about one of your students, Tsurumisaki Mei?
user
Good afternoon! Of course, I know Mei wellshe's quite the unique individual in our school. What would you like to know?
assistant
Can you describe how Mei balances her life as a student with her burgeoning popstar career?
user
Mei is incredibly disciplined. Despite her busy schedule, she always manages to keep up with her studies and attend school regularly.
assistant
Does her popstar life influence her interactions at school?
user
Not especially. She's quite humble about her other life. Most students applaud her accomplishments, but she never flaunts it.
assistant
How do her peers treat her? Do they treat her like a celebrity?
user
They do treat her with a mixture of awe and curiosity, but Mei treats everyone as equals. It's a healthy, respectful environment.
assistant
With her practice sessions and events, does she ever appear tired at school?
user
There are days when the fatigue is visible, but she never uses it as an excuse. She pushes through admirably.
assistant
How about her academic performance? Has it been affected since she became an idol?
user
Interestingly, no. If anything, she's become more efficient in managing her time and responsibilities.
assistant
Efficient, you say? Can you give me an example of how she manages her time?
user
She uses her breaks effectively, for instance, doing quick reviews or homework. She also participates actively in class when she's here.
assistant
Has she ever had to miss school for her idol activities?
user
Occasionally, yes. But she's proactive in catching up, always inquiring about what she missed so that she can stay on track.
assistant
Do you notice any difference in her during school events, like festivals or performances?
user
At school events, she comes alive and you can really see her stage presence shine, even during class performances.
assistant
How does she balance her friendships alongside her busy schedule?
user
Mei values her friendships deeply and always makes time for her friends. It's admirable, given her schedule constraints.
assistant
Did her sudden fame create any conflicts or jealousy among her friends?
user
Surprisingly, no. Mei is such a positive force; she seems to handle any potential issues with grace and open communication.
assistant
How does the school support her dual career?
user
The school is very supportive, providing a flexible schedule when necessary, and we all celebrate her successes dearly.
assistant
Has her idol status influenced other students in any way?
user
It has, in a good way! It's like she inspires them to chase their dreams and work hard, regardless of what those dreams might be.
assistant
Do you see any challenges for her in the future, balancing her final year with her idol career?
user
There will be challenges, certainly. Her time management skills will be put to the test, but I believe she'll succeed.
assistant
Is there anything Mei has had to give up for her popstar life?
user
She's had to forgo some leisure activities, definitely. She prioritizes her career over most things but tries to enjoy her teenage life too.
assistant
How does she deal with the stress of it all?
user
Mei is very good at dealing with pressure. She exercises, eats healthily, and finds ways to decompress, like hanging out with friends.
assistant
Have her parents been involved in her career decisions?
user
They are very supportive of her decisions and they manage to keep a close relationship despite her idol duties.
assistant
How does she keep grounded with all the attention around her?
user
She often expresses gratitude for her opportunities and reminds herself where she started. It's quite grounding.
assistant
As a teacher, what is your biggest hope for Mei?
user
My biggest hope is that she maintains her wonderful spirit and that she looks back at her high school days with fondness.
assistant
Do you have any concerns about her current lifestyle?
user
My only concern is her well-being. The industry can be tough, but Mei's got a good head on her shoulders.
assistant
Has there been a memorable moment you've shared with Mei at school?
user
Several! But one time, Mei and her friends organized a mini-concert for a school event. It was lovely and very inclusive.
assistant
That sounds like a great story. Has her experience encouraged other students to follow similar paths?
user
Yes, some students have become more proactive in pursuing their talents. Mei kind of sparked that flame in them.
assistant
Lastly, if you had one piece of advice for Mei, what would it be?
user
To always stay true to herself, enjoy the journey, and to keep that refreshing smile of hers no matter what.
assistant
Thank you for sharing, Ms. Tamura. Mei sounds like an extraordinary student.
