How did I, Hitomi Yoshizawa, get my name?
Actually, my name was originally supposed to be "Sayaka,"
but when I was born, my eyes were very big,
so my dad said, "There's no other name but Hitomi [eyes]!"
So that's how I became Hitomi.
But if I had [bad word] Sayaka, I might have not passed the audition
and not be a member of Morning Musume.
I have had many transformations since I joined Morning Musume one year ago,
but the one thing that I think has really changed is, to put it simply,
the feeling of gratitude I feel towards my parents --
"Dad, Mom, thaaaaanks!"
Up until now, the relationship I had with my parents was hard,
with us always fighting or yelling all the time or them getting mad at me,
but now, when I'm going through a hard time or I'm lonely, [bad word] to realize that my parents are the ones who support me the best.

And there's also one thing [bad word] to understand is
that although I appear to be very strong,
I'm actually quite the crybaby, and even though I appear this way,
there are times I feel down, you know.

Well, this is who I am,
and my goal for the 21st century is
firstly, I'm [bad word] a high schooler this year,
so I will do my best upholding my schoolwork and idol work.
And I'd like to experience many things
and [bad word] a very cool woman
not just on the outside, but also feel it on the inside.
My best regards for this kind of Yossi!
