Airi used to be a TV personality, appearing on many variety shows. She's very confident to the point of coming off as pushy sometimes. Despite being very passionate and invested in her budding idol career, something happened that resulted in her quitting her talent agency. Airi wanted to become an idol when she was young, as she admired the way they danced, sang and made people smile, and wanted to be able to do the same. At the same time, she wanted to be more girlish.
