―Do you usually have the opportunity to come to Shinsaibashi PARCO?
Kojima: “In fact, I often come in private. I especially like the 4th floor where PUBLIC TOKYO is located, and I often shop in USAGI ONLINE STORE, ADAM ET ROPÉ and mimi33. As I get older, my taste has changed little by little, and I feel that the width of the clothes I wear has expanded. If you think that you are changing and growing every day, it will be fun to come from now on.”
―From January 2nd (Tue) to 14th (Sun), "NMB48 Costume Exhibition 13 Years of Love Nanba" will be held in PARCO GALLERY on the 14th floor. Do you have any costumes that have impressed you so far?
Kojima: "It's the costume of my first solo song, 'The Most Impaired Atashi'. Speaking of NMB48, I made it by incorporating my ideals while combining the leopard pattern with the red color in charge. I've met many times and packed my attention. The bold cutting on the side and the transparent feeling of delicate lace are very sexy."
―During the event, about 100 pieces will be lined up, including CD jackets, live costumes, and graduation dresses. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of exhibition it will be.
Kojima: "When you look at the costumes, you can see the changing times, so I think you can enjoy it as well. In the early days, it was supermini skirt, but now it has a lot of long length. There was a time when the simple design of monotone increased. Please feel the history of the 13 years of NMB48 running through.”

―What kind of costumes are there for Kojirin?
Kojima: “It’s an essential thing to make yourself an idol. It is also a "sign" of being a member of NMB48, so I would like to take on it with pride. We have evolved with our costumes, and we have a lot of memories. I am happy to have the opportunity to show you these 13 years of costumes. I was originally a fan of the group, so I want to enjoy half as a member and half as a single fan.”
―Kojirin is from Saitama Prefecture. Do you have any favorite places in Osaka?
Kojima: "I like all the people in the city being warm and people who don't know are talking. Namba, the activity base of Namba, has a particularly strong Kansai color, and I feel comfortable with its cosy atmosphere. I love the local shows in Kansai as well.”
―Finally, please give a message to the fans.
Kojima: "Thank you for giving me so much love over the past 13 years. I think NMB48 is a pretty core idol. That's why I'm really grateful to the fans who have always supported this group. The costumes lined up at the exhibition are packed with the love of not only members but also fans and staff. I would like to take that thought firmly and work while cherishing it. Please come and visit the NMB48 costume exhibition!” 。
