I translated another
interview of Kuu-chan in GINGER magazine (issue: 2010-06).
She talks about the tough times she had at the start of her carrier and during the 'rotten fluids' scandal.
These parts stood out to me:

“To tell the truth, I didn’t believe in myself before that point in time. I would always wear pants to cover my legs. Because of that big turning point, I’ve finally become able to grow self-confident.”

There wasn’t a single positive result. People would tell me, “Quit already!”. All I could do was wonder why I wasn’t selling even though I had such good songs. [...] I didn’t even have the money to buy new clothes."

Quote:
[regarding the scandal] "I felt I was cast out of society and started to think about everything. When I suddenly started to listen to my own CD’s, I remembered the times when I had persisted and kept going. And my tears started to flow.
I realized again how I loved seeing people happy more than anything and how I had chosen the path of music in order to make those people happy. I also realized that there were people who would support me even when I was at rock bottom.”
