Good evening, everyone 🌸

　

　

It's Matono Mio

　

　

　

On 31st January, 1st February

Sakurazaka46's "Kobayashi Yui Graduation Concert" was held

　

Truly, thank you very much to everyone who have come, to everyone who watched through stream!

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

I had to be absent from Day 1

due to COVID infection.

　

I am truly sorry to everyone who have looked forward to my appearance.

　

　

　

I truly regret it.

　

　

　

　

Since I had to rest, a lot of the other members were suddenly asked to do something in my stead

　

and I have caused a lot of inconvenience and worries

　

to the members, staff, and all of you Buddies

　

　

　

I am truly sorry.

　

　

　

　

On Day 2, I have recovered and really wanted to at least be there for Yui-san's ceremony

and was able to participate in just the graduation ceremony.

　

I was truly, truly glad to have been able to see Yui-san's final appearance as a Sakurazaka46 member with my own two eyes.

And when the curtain of the graduation concert has come down like this,

　

I am filled with emotions that could not be expressed in words

　

　

　

When I see Yui-san's beautiful figure shining on the stage,

　

I once again felt how much I admire and love Yui-san

　

　

　

　

　

　

When I look back to my memories with Yui-san, all I remember how I always seemed to be having fun

Yui-san's graduation has made it feel like a large hole has been left open in my heart,

　

　

　

but I also think that it's a new beginning for me.

　

　

　

We will continue to devote ourselves while keeping what she has built and what she has shared with us within our hearts

　

　

　

I hope to become a person admired by someone someday, just like Yui-san

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

I think that I could be who I am now because of Yui-san.

　

　

　

　

　

No matter how far Yui-san's new path might be,

　

I will always, always cheering for you

　

　

　

　

Truly, thank you for your hard work!

　

　

And truly thank you very much for supporting the group for so long!!

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

I hope that Yui-san's next stage from now on

　

　

will be filled with happiness as well.
