I've known her since she was in (Elementary) 6th grade
To start with she was really not a good singer
Completely hopeless
But the more she did it the better she became
And thanks to her I've realised that if you put the work in a person really can change.
That girls, idols, young kids - they all have no limits
and that's what Matsuno Rina taught me.
She struggled more than anyone else
And to be honest I think she just did her absolute best
[They're the kind of group that would've risked their lives for Matsuno?]
(For the 7 of them) going forward, I hope that they become bigger and bigger [on her part? I'm not really sure what he means].
(I too) with might from somewhere or other must repay her
As the 7 girls overcome this, I would like them to be a group that's as big as 8
I, too, have to repay her by giving some kind of effort [<- thanks to Amagi822]</div>
