Too Much Idea

 nagi explained that she usually wear earphone on one ear to keep track of what the radio staff are saying to her, and after a kochi Hoshi recording she went back to the office first, where she met and converse with 3ki for an hour or so. and at the time, she felt like something odd is stuck in her ear. nagi said it's normal for her to get tinnitus when doing a nervewrecking job, and it usually return to normal after finishing said job. then they are supposed to head to the next job, but nagi's ear still ringing, and she should do something about it before the important recording she is about to do next. at first she thought it might be a bug flying by, and as she looked around her ear suddenly can hear clearly again as something fell off it... nagi: it was a round, rubber thingy... it was the "squishy" earphone thingy (ear tips) from kochi Hoshi! i ended up conversing for 1~1,5 hrs without realizing that it was in my ear. at first i was so surprised that my mind didn...

  hono: we usually interact... wait, isn't this our first time working together? just the two of us? amazing! nagi: it really does feel like "finally!". ever since i entered four years ago, i have always mentioned here and there how you're my oshi and that i respect you... and finally, now i get to do a job with hono-san! hono: you told me that you have always liked me since before joining-- nagi: yes! still do! i still love you! seriously! hono-san tend to ask, "for real?" but i truly still do love you  hono: thank you very much! tbh all these time, whenever someone ask me who my sakurazaka oshimen is, i can't really answer that question... like, how is a member supposed to answer that? but I've come to realize that nagisa-chan IS my oshimen. in fact, i told nagisa-chan about this already, just that i never spoke about it publicly. sometimes during rehearsal i get to watch you, such as during songs that i am not part of, and i always watch nagisa-...

 free to listen in the 15th single special page run: because the title has "lonesome" at first i thought that it's going to be a ballad, or something mellow... ito: but it ended up being really intense lol run: when i first heard it, i was like, "oh... this gonna have an intense dancing" ito: when i first heard the intro, i paused it for a moment... "hold on, this gonna have an intense dancing", then i listened to it again. because the title is in English, i looked up what i means. and the title is also in the part of the lyrics that need to be sing at a fast pace, so it was quite difficult run: because it feels similar to manhole, the first thing that came to my mind was the image of when we perform this in a concert, rather than what the mv might look like ito: i'm sure that it will be exciting run: and that it will def get some fires lol. we also filming the mv while talking about how the buddies will def like it mail: i work with animals, and t...

 renachi: i heard that your junior told you about this radio? rena: yes, my junior, Yamashita shizuki made a solo appearance in this radio. she said she was very nervous, but yamazaki-san helped to expand even trivial topics, and it made her very happy. she also said that you are very kind and has a lovely voice renachi: ah! i'm glad to hear that! rena: i was really looking forward to this day as well renachi: speaking of which, how does moriya-san see yamashita-san, as her senior? rena: that girl is seriously so cute renachi: right, she's like a small animal rena: yeah, she's like a cat. she is one of our azatoi member and I've been able to feel it recently renachi: is this something that she usually does in front of the fans? or just something that she do in backstage? rena: i'm not really sure whether she does this in front of the fans. among us members, we often talk about how azatoi she is renachi: eh? what kind of things does she do to the seniors? rena: like ...

 TMI note: might update again with translation of the fan letters... --- itoha: how does chuke-san sees the two of us juniors? chuke: very cute rika: really? i feel like my feelings never really reach you chuke: no!!! it does!!! both of your very heavy feelings! but i think that the two of you have really grown stronger. i feel that you two have overcame so many things, and you have become able to let yourself take on new things. when things happened and you are feeling overwhelmed, you become able to control yourself too. i can tell just by watching, how the two of you have become professionals. that is what i think whenever i see you two working rika: and do you know what makes that possible? ito: tell her! rika: that is because we have Takemoto yui watching over us chuke: nah, that's not true at all itoha: there was something that made me angry just now. chuke-san just now said that rika-chan was the first junior she speak with rika: sorry, thank you ito: and rika-chan has been ...

Good evening Having finished all my activities as Sakurazaka46 member, this morning, for the first time, the realization that I have graduated hits me; my heart ache with loneliness When I was writing this blog, I was crying while watching ChokoSaku. I got a video call from the members I was happy at how perfect the timing was. Lol They really know Yui well! CDTV was great, wasn't it? The MV was amazing too, right? I'd love to try dancing that too, it's so cool I guess I will be watching the group from the outside like this from now on~ Once again, I have graduated from Sakurazka46. This will be my last blog. Please allow me to write my thoughts on my activities. For the past eight years since the audition, I have spent every day thinking about all sorts of things and being driven by all kinds of emotions, but my mind has always been occupied with the group. But the other members around me are also completely focused in the group too. That is just how much everyone loves Sa...

 they record this (and the one next week on 260524) right after the grad ceremony itoha: i'm determined not to cry! chuke: but you're not meeting me in the eye. your eyes are teary already! rika: even though yui-chan is sitting right in front of her, ito-chan is looking my way instead. please properly look at yui-chan in the eye as we do this radio until the very end! itoha: right... i can only bring myself to look at chuke-san a little. i think it's pretty dangerous for itoha...  chuke: is there any other radio personality who is like this? lol "i think it's pretty dangerous for itoha... " itoha: but you see, the two of us are really indebted to chuke-san rika: seriously! ito: during 8th single backs live, and that period was really difficult. there were so many songs to remember, and they all difficult songs, but chuke-san really took a great care of all of us!! rika: even though i'm sure she wanted to focus on her own tasks, she kept holding the hands o...

 Source TMI note: I did not translate everything --- Q I got the impression that Sakurazaka46 has many energizing songs, but is there a particular song that makes you feel positive when you listen to it? 1    We do a lot of jumping in the performance of the 11th single “UDAGAWA GENERATION”. It has an energetic and powerful choreography that is unusual for Sakurazaka46’s title song, and everyone dances it with a big smile on their faces, so listening and dancing to it makes me feel powerful and positive. If I had to say what songs I enjoy performing, then I enjoy hyping up the crowd during performance. Because I’d be able to shout in such a loud way like I never do in my daily life (laughs). Q When you hype the crowd in ”Ikumodo” and “Mou Ikkyoku” , it really heats up the venue, right? Yeah. The Buddies responded to the words I shouted, and it really does feel fun to hear the venue going “Wooooo!!” and it makes me happy. Q Are there any songs by artists other than Sakuraza...

 nagi: your genmates, the other 4ki, are calling you with "hiichan"? hiiro: that's right, everyone calls me so nagi: can i call you that too? hiiro: really!? i'm so happy! nagi: it feels like your nickname hasn't really been set in stone, so i've been mostly calling you with "meguro-chan" or "hiiro-chan" hiiro: sometimes make-up artists would call me "megu-chan" nagi: hmm which one would be better? hii: morita-san is also called with "hii-chan" ... nagi: right, like tamura-san hii: so that's why i wonder if it overlaps... nagi: i see! then let's go with "megu-chan" hii: i'm so happy! i'm fine with however you choose to call me nagi: how have you been recently? we've been doing 14th backs live rehearsal every day, and 4ki are really going through a hard time! hii: there are so many songs to learn every day, it feels like my brain is going to start smoking! nagi: right, even when you still str...

Thank you very much for opening my blog. I'm Endo Riko from Saitama. ☺︎ The formation for 15th single "Lonesome rabbit / What's “KAZOKU”?" has been announced, but I will be doing my activities as  senbatsu member for What's “KAZOKU”? and BACKS members for 15th single! And, I have been selected as the center for "Coin Laundry". I have experienced a countless number of things from the time I joined the group until today. 　 I can feel that the place that is Sakurazaka46 is one where, no matter what position you are in, you will face different struggles and challenges. I have seen many times how the members hit against the wall, and then continue to work hard as to overcome them. I love Sakurazaka46. They have kind consideration toward others, and become passionate when creating something together. I am truly happy to be able to work together with such wonderful members. But at the same time as I feel happy, because I sincerely respect them from the bottom o...

  hono: yuzu~ this is your first time, right? yuzu: thanks for waiting! lol I've been wanting to guest here hono: and this is not a lie. ever since her appearance is confirmed, she has repeatedly went like... "hono-san, i'll be in your care for talk about" yuzu: lol right, i went to hono-san during rehearsal hono: she was really cute. i think that yuzu is someone very affectionate to the seniors. You are one of the older one among your gemmates, right? But you are acting very... little sister-like, so to say, toward the 2ki members. you're really good at getting yourself spoiled yuzu: really? but i do like the seniors hono: you mentioned that in the elevator too lol yuzu: "i'm someone who really love the seniors, so i always feel really down whenever someone graduates", so i said lol hono: right. speaking of, what kind of role, of character do you have in the group? for me, you have an older sister-like visual, but your personality is... to say ...

Good evening! Thank you very much for opening my blog 🐈‍⬛ I'm Sakurazaka46's Masumoto Kira 🌸 How have you been, now that it's getting a lot warmer recently?☀️ Summer is coming soon, huh I have welcomed many new seasons with all of you who I love so much Though I've been takin it as something for granted, now I realize that those were irreplaceable moments I will be graduating from Sakurazaka46 with the end of 15th single activities. I took the audition at 16 years old, and now I am 24 years old. I grew up on this place and become an adult. I've been deeply moved so many times in both Keyakizaka46, Sakurazaka46. The countless experiences I wouldn't be able to do anywhere else, the emotions I didn't know. They are each something that I will treasure for life. There are many things that came true through hard work, and there are many things that didn't come true despite working hard for it. I think that this is something that everyone experience in their ...

theme is interview, so chuke "gets interviewed" by questions send by listeners! Q what is your fav sakurazaka song? the song that you enjoy performing, the song whose melody and lyrics you like, the song that you listen often, it can be any of it! chuke: the song i listen to the most is sakurazuki. i really like it, it's rare for us to have "Sakura" in the title song, and the song hits harder in this season. i love it. i really like it for its melody and lyrics, but it's different for the one i enjoy dancing to. the song i enjoy performing the most is shoninyokkyu. we share a symmetrical position in that song, right? and there were times when i perform it while looking at macchan matsu: ??? you did?? chuke: i think we exchanged look matsu: ah, right! in the interlude, right? chuke: yep! it was fun. so yeah, i think this is the song i enjoyed dancing to the most Q when you were struggling to balance you academics with your activities, or when your activitie...

translated my friend's report  (not everything) > ten and Karin both had green OP costume, but they decided to change to make it more balanced by swapping miu's pink with ten's > karin stumbled when climbing in start over, but it went well because ten lifted her up. apparently she felt sorry to other girls so a lot of the time she intentionally choose to step on ten-chan instead lol > yu was the one who asked for the bridal carry, so Karin did it > there is almost no mc, and even when there is one they was faint music playing, so it felt like the music kept going which is great > Karin likes arashi no mae, because the choreo is not intense and she can sing while properly think about the song > Karin: i was waiting backstage during nightmare, and i could hear the crazy screams from the girls the whole time > on hikaru kicking the trash can and clicking her tongue in manhole OP ten: "i could hear the squealing really well. it's not often you'...

  Q 2ki, please tell us your thoughts on performing 3ki 4ki songs in encore! i'd be happy if you could tell us funny stories that happened during rehearsal too! hikaru: we performed alter ego and natsuchika for the first time. the choreos were so hard all 2ki were like... astonished by it! airi: alter ego was difficult! there were a lot of detailed movements! hikaru: it looked cute and everyone does look cute when dancing to it, so to learn that it was actually so complicated and difficult...! momomi: the 4ki had to be quite careful about it too hikaru: everyone was worried about it on the day of performance too momomi: i saw (2ki) kept dancing alter ego lol hikaru: we ended up practicing alter ego so much that natsuchika became worrying instead, we got scolded for it lol. but it was a song that i have always wanted to try, and it was fun to dance. i would love to perform it again airi: it felt fresh, to be able to perform it together momomi: everyone were so cute. fujiyoshi-san ...
