 こんにちは。// Hello



今年も残すところ、// There is only today left

本日のみとなりました。// in this year



2020年は誰もが思うように色んな事が出来ず、もどかしさを感じたり、悔しさを感じる1年であったのではないでしょうか。// The year 2020 was probably a year where you feel frustration and regret from not being able to do things as you wanted



私にとって上半期は特に // For me, it was particularly on the first half

今年に入ってすぐに色んな出来事があり、// There are various events happening right at the start of the year,

ファンの皆様に不安や心配をかけてしまっている中で、世界的にも大変な世の中になり何も出来ない自分へのもどかしさや、悔しさでいっぱいになる期間でした。// It was the period where I full of frustration and regret to myself who cannot do anything due to the difficult situation of the world, while the fans are feeling anxious and worried


いつもならあまり見ないネットニュースなどもその期間は色んな情報を取り入れようと自然と見るようになって、その中でグループのニュースがいくつか目に入ってしまい、見たくない言葉だけが色濃く見えて、その言葉たちばかりが目に飛び込んできたり。// During that period I naturally started to look at internet news, that I don't usually do, trying to get various information, and amidst of that I saw some news about the group in it, and I only see many words that I don't want to read, and those words keeps popping out into my eyes


その言葉の刃がその時はより鋭く感じ、深く心に刺さり、辛くなってしまった時もありました。// There are times when I could feel how the blade of words felt sharper than before, piercing deeply into my heart and making me feel painful



そんな時に皆さんから頂いたレターや、// At that time, the letters I receive from you,

ネットなどでハッシュタグを付けた、たくさんの愛で溢れる言葉は自分にとっては凄く心の支えであり、救いであり、糧でありました。// the words filled with many love with hashtag on the internet and such, was really a great support, saved me, and my source of encouragement



こんな時だからこそ、今自分が出来ることは全て皆さんに届けたいと感じたり、自分には足らない事がまだまだたくさんあるのでこの期間に少しでも補えるように勉強したり、動いてみたり。// And it is exactly because of time like this, I feel that I want to do everything I can to deliver (something) to everyone, and since there are still many things that I lack, I try to study and work to make up for it as much as possible during this period



気付いたら、見てしまった鋭い言葉たちが自分にとってはやる気や、「ここで負けてたまるか」という前向きな気持ちに変化するようになっていたり、自分にとっての新たな目標が小さなことから大きなことまでたくさん出来たりしました。// And when I realize, the sharp words I seen changed into a motivation for me, into positive feelings such as "I can't lose here", and created many goals from me from a small one to a big one



そしてこの期間に一番自分が感じたことは、// And what I feel the most during this period was,

今まで自分が思っていた以上に // How I truly love the group and the members

グループとメンバーのことが本当に大好きなんだな、と。// more than I every thought



そしてどんな時も支えて下さり、// And just how big you, the fans, existence is for me

グループがどんな姿であっても応援して下さっていたファンの皆さんの存在が自分の中でどれほど大きな存在なのかと。// Who always supported us at any times, no matter what form we are in



だからこそ自粛期間が開けた時は今まで以上に頑張らなくてはいけないと、自分にとって大事なものは自分で支えて守りたいと、この場所で自分が出来ることを全うしたいと強く思うようになりました。// That's why when the period of self-restraint was over,  I began to feel strongly that I have to work harder than ever before, that I want to support and protect what was important to me, and that I want to do all I could in this place

 


そして私たちにとって大きな転機となった、// And what have become a big turning point for us,

グループ名の改名。// The renaming of the group



「櫻坂46」に改名するという大きな決断をし、心機一転、もう一度新たな道を歩むという事はただならぬ覚悟が必要でありました。// It takes an incredible amount of determination to take the big decision to change our name into "Sakurazaka46", changing our mind and walk on a new path


そして本日。12月31日。// And then today. 31st December



今年はお家で来年に繋がるものを // NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen that I thought

沢山学ぼうと感じていたNHK紅白歌合戦。// I could learn many things that lead to next year by watching at home



まさかデビューして間も無い私たちが // I was filled with surprise and nervousness

年末の大舞台である紅白歌合戦に出場させて頂けるという事を初め聞いた時は驚きと緊張とでいっぱいでした。// when hearing that us, who just barely debuted, is allowed to participate on the big end of year stage that is Kouhaku Uta Gassen



櫻坂46の1stシングルである、// In Kouhaku Uta Gassen, we will be performing

「Nobody's fault」を // "Nobody's fault"

紅白歌合戦で披露させていただきます。// that is Sakurazaka46's 1st single



今の自分にとって、// For the present me,

"誰のせいでもない"というタイトルは、// the title that is "It's nobody's fault"

強く心に残る言葉でありました。// was a strong and memorable words



"誰のせいでもない"からこその、// There are surely pain and frustation

苦しさやもどかしさもきっとあるのです。// because it's "nobody's fault"

そんな中でも進まなくちゃいけない事は // And I think it takes quite a lot of courage

かなりの勇気が必要な事と思います。// to still have to continue to move forward in such situation



だからこそ、この曲を歌とパフォーマンスで // That is I hope that this song could be delivered to many people

たくさんの方に届けられるように、// through singing and performance,

私たちの新たな一歩目を歩む姿が観て下さる誰かにとっての勇気に繋げられればと思っています。// And I hope that the figure of us taking new steps forward could give courage to someone who is watching us



今も緊張していますが、// I'm feeling nervous right now,

このような状況の中でありながらも // but I am grateful that all 26 members of Sakurazaka46 could appear in Kouhaku Uta Gassen, despite the situation we are in,

櫻坂46、26人全員で紅白歌合戦に出場させて頂けることに感謝をし、たくさんの方にこの楽曲が届けられるように精一杯頑張りたいと思います。// and we will do our best to deliver this song to many people



そして、いつも応援して下さっている // And with the feeling of gratitude

ファンの皆さんへの感謝の気持ちも込めて。// for the fans who are always supporting us



是非、NHK紅白歌合戦観てください。‪‪☺︎‬// Please do watch NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen



この一年間も本当にありがとうございました。// Truly, thank you very much for this year

So, what's up with all the English tweets recently from SF and Sony? (...But I guess now we know?)

If you come here for an answer, then you'll find none, because honestly, I don't know for sure myself. But, I do have an idea. In the latter half of 2020, after so many years, Keyakizaka46 YouTube finally removed region restrictions on its latest uploads. One of which is the performance video from Darekane. Overseas fans quickly noticed and used the chance to write their thoughts and feelings, posting them in the comment section just like other fans would do. Then, when "Bessatsu Kadokawa Keyakizaka46 and Sakurazaka46 1013/1209", members shockingly made a mention of it in their interviews, like Ten . Perhaps encouraged by the comments the members made, overseas fans showed their support again in the comments section for "Nobody's fault" and other videos. Yamasaki Ten then made another mention of it again in an interview released in early January 2021 ! Since then, comments from overseas fans continued to pour in, and thankfully perhaps even increases wi

Imaizumi Yui: Likes to collect seals that gets you a plate Manaka: She really likes collecting seals that gets you a plate something like this Oda: That certainly happens (laughs) Manaka: Ozeki also collecting it, she always take the seal from things members bought (laughs). I always give mine to Imaizumu Oda: It’s good that members are divided between those who gives to Imaizumi and to Ozeki. I also gives mine to Imaizumi. The reaction she gives to Shida when she get her seal is cute. Imaizumi would say “Thank you!!” looking very happy Watanabe Risa: Frolic when everyone are together Fuyuka: There is a huge different between Risa on TV and the usual Risa Manaka: She’s awfully frolic when we gathers Fuyuka: She doesn’t show it in Keyakake, right? To Miichan she feels spontaneous but she can also gives gentle response, there’s also time when she gives cold responses to everyone else. Manaka: Lately she’s strict to Oda Nana (laughs).  Ju
