#225. To live is to change (2025.03.22)

Thank you very much for opening my blog.

I'm Sakurazaka46's 2nd generation Endo Hikari.

Sorry that it took me a longer time to write blog than usual 🙇‍♀️

Thank you very much to everyone who have attended,

who have watched through live viewing or streaming

19th March, "SAKURAZAKA46 Live，AEON CARD with YOU！Vol.4"

and 20th March "Buddies Kanshasai 2025" and "Koike Minami Graduation Ceremony".

I was truly glad to have been able to send off the last 1st generation member of the group, Koike Minami, in the concert and end her activities with a smile.

I was happy to share Mii-chan's moment of departure and her figure wearing a beautiful dress with Buddies.

And then, in "Koike Minami Graduation Ceremony", Mii-chan and all 2nd generation members performed Keyakizaka46's song "Futari Sezon" together.

This was my first Futari Sezon performance since the Sakamichi Trainee tour.

I'd never thought that I'd be able to dance it again, so I was very happy.

Thank you very much for your many consideration, Mii-chan ☺︎

And thank you as always for the flowers 😌♡

And lastly, there is something that I'd like to talk about a bit.

Some of you might have already guessed from the letter read during Mii-chan's graduation ceremony,

but just recently, a staff we are very close with passed away.

It happened so suddenly that I still couldn't believe it, it hasn't sunk in as well.

He was always concerned about me during my hiatus and after my return, and encouraged me by saying, "Take care of your body and mind. Let's work hard so that you can feel at ease as a woman before being an idol".

When I was able to greet him for the last time, I felt like he would wake up again and say, "Hikari, don't cry!!".

I still haven't sorted my feelings right now, and as I'm slow to notice my own emotions, I am sure that the bigger emotions and shock will come later.

However, I believe that the best way to show my gratitude is to continue to work hard as a pillar of the group as one of the eldest Sakurazaka46 member, now that the 1st generation-san is no longer in the group.

As I already talked about it in mobame, I was unsure whether I should talk about it in blog as well, but since he was someone I have been closely working with since the beginning, I decided to write about him here as well.

I hope that he could continue to watch over Sakurazaka46 from the sky.
