4TH GENERATION
Konomi: Inoue-san, please allow me to speak as the representative of 4th gen! First of all, congratulations on your graduation! And thank you for your hard work in the past ~ 7 years. It's only been 8 months since 4th gen has joined the group, which is just a short time in Inoue-san's idol career, but we are very happy to have been able to work with you.
This Summer, we were able to join tour for the first time, and even though I am bad at initiating conversation, we were able to take two-shot for the first time together. When I told you, "I feel lonely”, you replied "I'm still here" with your usual smile. Even now, I still remember that smile of yours. While there is a side of myself who wished that time could last forever, if I were to say what I truly feel, I do feel very lonely... but so that 4ki can one day become a support for Sakurazaka, the group that Inoue-san has so carefully brought up... we will keep within our hearts the important things and warmth that Inoue-san has shown to us until now through her actions as we move forward.
Inoue-san's beauty that is called with "first love", your wonderful smile... your natural kindness that filled my memories, if I try to say it all there is no end to it, but I love everything from you, Inoue-san. And this is a personal thing, and I have mentioned before how I have always loved "On my way", I was so happy to have been able to hear Futarina's last "On my way". I have received much courage, energy, and power from your singing, performance, and from Inoue-san herself as a person. I really love Inoue-san's smile, so I sincerely pray that Inoue-san may live a happy life full of smiles! Truly, thank you very much until now!
Inoue: Thank you! Truly. Please sing "on my way" one day!
Konomi: Ehhh! No, no, I can't! Thank you very much

3RD GENERATION
Rika: Please allow me to say my greeting as 3th gen's representative. First of all, Inori-san, congratulations on your graduation!... There is this saying "I can be who I am now because of you", right?... And it is not something that I can say directly, and even if I do I'd be really shy about it, but Inori-san is that kind of a presence for me. The way Inori-san faces her work, how to build a foundation for one’s activities... You taught me a lot about those things. But those are... Not something that you taught with your words, but something that I learned from watching Inori-san's actions and figures as we worked together. It is the first time I was moved from [seeing] the figure of someone facing over something.
The reason I can be stronger and believe in myself is no doubt, because I was able to work with Inori-san, who has created who I am now. I don't know if I was able to say it nicely, and though I seriously think of that, I think that Inori-san will just wave it off lightly. But even now, it makes me happy that I've come to know you [well enough] to know that Inori-san would do something like that. As we didn't have that chance, I'd like to look at you in the eye and convey it directly: I really respect you, Inori-san, you're an idol that I want to be.
The actions and figures that you showed in your activities... I think that 3rd gen members felt something from it, and we'd like to continue to improve and work hard, and we'd be happy if you could continue to watch over us. Once again, congratulations on your graduation!
Inoue: Thank you! Of course I will always be watching!
Rika: I love you
Inoue: I know, thank you

2ND GENERATION
Ten: It's me! [Because so far the rep is the first in name order, and Ten is supposed to be last]
Inoue: Ehhh! You!? That’s unexpected!?
Ten: It's me! Please allow me to speak! First of all, thank you for working hard until now for ~7 years together with us. I wonder if you remember this, Ino, but in the last round of audition, we sat next to each other, didn't we? My first impression of you was that you are someone quiet.
7 years have passed since then, and we become so close we know each other's meat doneness preference. From 2nd gen's pov, Inoue is little sister-like. There is a side of you that is a bit spoiled, and when the members are gathered together you are always the quickest to fall asleep, and you have such a cute side of yourself. and I think that Inoue is the savior of many.
Ino is kind and quick to ask what is wrong and extend your help to those who are having trouble, also learned a lot of general knowledge about the world from Ino. Ino is so observant that she would notice things that others didn't, to have such a wide perspective. You are someone beloved. And your smile, which is truly the cutest in this world, has saved many people not just in this place but all around the world.
Ino is a genius who can make other people happy even without being aware of it. This is something that I truly think about. In the future, I am sure that the people around you will be happy, and their life [it is something] filled with smiles. If the day where Ino can't smile ever comes, please leave it to us 2nd gen! We will run right away and give our best to make you smile! Inoue Rina-chan...!
All 2nd gen: We love you! (Group Hug)
Ten: Starting tomorrow, let's get along well as friends!
Inoue: Oh right! Friends! Besties! Thank you!
Ten: Well, see ya!
Inoue: See ya!
