💬 SPOTLIGHT — I Can Change in 30 Seconds
If you watched Minami Umezawa's
farewell solo "Mou Hitotsu no Taiyou,"
there's a scene near the end —
she stands facing the camera,
and the costumes of every era
change on her, one after another.
That scene wasn't going to be filmed.
Director Shuto Ito had done the math.
About 25 costumes.
On top of the costume changes,
there was hair and makeup to manage.
Say five minutes per costume,
times 25 —
there wasn't time.
But the staff, every one of them,
said the same thing:
"全部着せたいよね."
We want her in all of them.
The director felt the same way.
There just wasn't time.
So later,
he brought it up with Umezawa —
half as a joke.
She answered right away:
"やりますよ."
I'll do it.
"30秒で着れますよ."
I can change in 30 seconds.
And she changed into every single one
in 30 seconds.
And so it was filmed.

When she was first introduced,
her sharp features

She said on their radio show
that a lot of people first assume
