I was honestly surprised when it was announced that 櫻茉日ちゃん would retire. Her drive and good personality — ask any director at any company and there's no one who dislikes her. It was clear she would get more work and keep stepping up. She's also, in a way, clever; because of her ambition and intelligence, she's likely retiring to take on her next challenge. We experienced the greatest excitement during her final shoot.
