Matsui Jurina 16th birthday theater celebration 2013/03/08
To Matsui J-chan
Congratulations on your 16th birthday.
Even though its embarrassing I’ll write down my true feelings here. I’m sure I’m speaking for everyone when I say the most important for us is for Jurina to be healthy. I’m relieved when I see you cheerful and being just a little bit overboard. I’m thinking「Ah, that’s our Jurina~」.
When we perform in the theater together, I’m always watching your back. The sweat dripping off your hair, the shirt sticking on your back, pushing yourself a bit too much, to your upper limits. But that makes you who you are, someone who always gives everything she has, physically and mentally.
It’s that same back which always lead us all forward.
On her journey, Jurina has been carrying more on her shoulders than most people will ever do and turning 16 your field of work will expand, so I’m sure you’ll be burdened with an ever greater load than before. Like I told you before when we talked together, it’s a precious experience you can only gain now. I know you must be experiencing tons of frustrating moments, but I won’t tell you to “give your best”. Because Jurina is already working too hard without being told, isn’t she?
May Jurina remain full of energy all this year.
Thank you for everything.
P.S : Don’t become too adult because you turn 16. Adulthood is long enough has it is in one’s life. For a year without failures nor parenthesis.
From Matsui R.
