To me, Kei Yasuda, the title of my first solo song is
"LOVE -Keisan Chigai-."
Miscalculations happen often.
For example, you decide, "Karage boxed lunch!"
but it ends up being sold out.
Everyone makes miscalculations.
And if life went by all your calculations, it wouldn't be fun at all!
Don't you think so?
A good "miscalculation" since I entered Morning Musume:
That is, me becoming a Morning Musume member.
Because I didn't think for one second that I would be chosen!
But this miscalculation has greatly changed my life.
So this is a "miscalculation," in a good way.
Oh, and one more.
My name.
When I was younger, I used to hate the name "Kei."
Because you could mistake it as a boy's name
and because it's rare, you could misread it.
[???]
"Kei" was the name of my dad's favorite comic book character,
and it seems that he wanted me to be just as wonderful as that character.
But there is also another name I could have gotten.
"Erina Yasuda."
It doesn't fit me at all, right?
I'm glad my dad didn't miscalculate!
Right now, I love my name.
I gotta be a cool girl so I can live up to my comic book namesake!
I'd like to leave an imprint in the 21st century with the name "Kei Yasuda,"
so I would like to continue singing great songs.
And I want to walk towards the 21st century holding hands with our fans.
My best regards from now on as well!
Kei Yasuda.
