Emi's best known as a teen idol and singer, though her acting credentials are basically nonexistent. She landed a movie role at some point, but it became pretty clear pretty fast that acting wasn't her thing—and honestly, she didn't seem to care much about improving either.
That changed when she watched her co-star Maya actually put in the work during training. Seeing that kind of dedication lit something in her. Emi started feeling genuinely ashamed of how half-assed she'd been about the whole thing. By the time filming wrapped, she was telling reporters she'd gotten it wrong: "If I had one more chance to play, I would have done it in a proper way." It's the kind of thing that suggests she actually learned something from the experience, even if she wasn't great at it.
