So the MC I've pieced together from the various videos (a very general translation, not word for word):

Around the time of her debut just over 20 years ago, when she was really struggling and feeling like she didn't belong, she went to Nichome.

Since that time, she has always gone to Nichome, when she was struggling, when she was celebrating, always knowing that she would be accepted, and be warmly greeted by the mamas*.

Nichome is a place she goes for all occasions, whether happy or sad.

She also stated that she doesn't believe and has never believed that the "majority" is always right and that she will always stand up for uniqueness.

NOTE: *Mama is a term for a bar owner/manager, usually an older woman but not always. In the the LGBT community, gay men can also be referred to as "mama".
