Toyama: the first time sarina-chan sees her, she went, "your face is so small! you are so cute!"
sarina: i went, "gosh you are so adorable!"
Toyama: wait, have the two of you ever meet before?
sarina: i seen her perform on the stage several times before, but this is the first time we ever meet face to face like this
Toyama: then shizuki-chan, what do you think of sarina-chan...?
sarina: does she even know who i am?
shizu: ofc! i even pulled you from pc set before. i still have your picture at home
Toyama: from her hinatazaka time!?
shizu: that's right~
sarina: oh my! please excuse me~!
shizu: i have looked at it a lot~
Toyama: so, what do you think of her, shizuki-chan?
shizu: she is someone truly kind, with a wonderful smile, and i thought of her as a sun-like person. seeing her today, i thought that it is true
sarina: i'm so happy to hear that!
shizu: she's truly so cute
sarina: thank you very much! i will use it as a source of motivation from now on, "shizuki-chan thought of me as a sun-like person!"
Toyama: shizuki-chan not only does group work but also her own individual work, such as the brody magazine from the other day
shizu: right, the one with sakurazaka youtube feature
Toyama: where was it taken again?
shizu: the photoshoot was done in suehiro ramen store at takadanobaba, and i had my photoshoot taken as i was actually eating it. it was a really fun one
Toyama: i used to visit that area often in the past, and if i recall correctly, they used to play Tokyo fm all the time, so people would talk to me. so even this might currently being played in that area... what about you say a greeting to the store?
shizu: it was delicious!
jgjtk -> iwtc
shizu: two years have passed since then
Toyama: time flies by!
shizu: it sure is...
Toyama: a lot has been happening, even recently
shizu: right, and since it was one after another, it was a really intense time which then flies by... it really surprised me
to: though jgjtk was released in 2024, i am sure that there will come a time for you to perform it again 2026, and is there anything different compared to back then? or does it feel the same way?
shizu: i always have the sense of desperation in wanting to show something different in my performance, but when i looked at past videos, there are things that i thought are somewhat different
to: as in having different interpretation than before?
shizu: that's right. it makes me think that i have become able to grow a little
[jgjtk played]
to: listening to this song brings back many memories. i still remember well how cool shizuki-chan when you performed this at Tokyo dome
shizu: i'm really happy to hear that. thank you very much!
to: this is a very stupid question, i watched video of you and murai yu-chan dancing yoasobi's undead like 46 million times already, and as someone who doesn't understand dancing, how is it possible for the you to dance it in such flexible but stable way?
shizu: is that how i seems to you? maybe because of muscle training? i'm very muscular
to: you're into muscle training? how much are you doing?
shizu: i train my core by doing planking. in my school dance club i've been taught that strengthening your core would allow you to dance in a stable way
to: you're really muscular then?
shizu: yes
sarina: so that's why she's able to dance any kind of dances steadily!
to: you both made it seem so easy!
sarina: they both looked so cool, aren't they!?
toyama: she kept saying that
sarina: yes, i do
tgut
to: what did you feel when you first heard this song?
shizu: sakurazaka has been doing a lot of intense and cool songs, and this song is so cheerful with a strong youthful vibe and refreshing feeling, it made me happy
to: karin-chan and ten-chan appeared on SOL the other day, and i listened to it, but there karin-chan said that at first she had some confusion with the song; but she slowly has a grasp of it, and i thought that is very karin-chan-like. but shizuki-chan can already see it from the beginning?
shizu: that's right. even among our other title songs, this one is quite bright, and I've been hoping to be able to show many sides of sakurazaka-- our cool, our refreshing aspects, and it made me thought that it could be a song that will shine in concerts. i'm sure that fujiyoshi-san will be showing a different expression each time, and i hope that it could be a song that everyone can look forward to while paying attention to that highlight
to: certainly, in the op and ed of the mv, it shows concert-like scenes as it is
shizu: it's really great, it seemed that they made it with scenes of a concert in mind. and seeing that made me feel excited as well
sarina: the lights at the end looked like penlights to me, as if the buddies are in front of you all, and it really made me can't wait to see this song performed live. and the mv on itself, you all performed with a shining mic stand, and i thought of it as something that shines the path we walked on. i really felt of how we light up someone else's life
to: i get it. the worldview is also very youthful. as shizuki-chan mentioned before, it's a song that sakurazaka never has before as a title song, and i am sure that it is also meant for national stadium in April. "youth"... what do you think it is, shizuki-chan?
shizu: "youth"?... i think that it is something that everyone has regardless of age, for example, it is something that i am keenly feeling right now
to: as sakurazaka member?
shizu: yes, and i'm happy about it
to: in what moment do you feel it?
shizu: i really love the members, there are many times where i feel i could do my best because i have everyone else with me. i'm a pretty passionate person, so i often told everyone, "i'm really glad to have met you all"
sarina: how lovely!
shizu: i think that meeting everyone brings the most "youthful" energy to me, and every day i look at everyone' faces to savor it
[tgut played]
to: i can see it
sarina: what is it?
to: what shizuki-chan mentioned earlier, what this song meant to be, i can see the shape of it
sarina: there is a part of the lyrics that matches what shizuki-chan said, which is also what i love, "life is wonderful, you made me realize". i really love it. and when i think that this is what shizuki-chan meant, it kind of... becomes the kind of tearjerking song
to: i'm sure that it will become like that in national stadium
shizu: i look forward to it
to: 70k audience x 2 days
shizu: amazing
to: you think so too?
shizu: i really think that is something amazing. from the day we first heard about to now, as we start with our preparations, i still doesn't feel real to me yet. that is how dream-like that place is. i really look forward to it
to: it might end up being something crazy. surely this song will be performed there, right?
shizu: w-well i wonder?
sarina: there you are with your questioning! don't force her to say "for sure"! let's look forward to it together!
to: this is the first concert of a female group since the renovation. an hour before this, the ippan ticket sales for the concert was opened, and though it's selling out in a fast pace, there is still a chance to grab one. what would you like to say to those who will be coming, who are interested in coming?
shizu: we'd like to make it into such a legendary concert that people would want to come and attend another sakurazaka concert, and so we'd like to work hard for the sake of each buddies, please do come and visit us!
to: I've been watching their concerts, and such is something that one would definitely come to think. "i will definitely see the next one too!". i seriously think that each performance is a new peak. i really look forward to april
shizu: we will hit another peak, so please do come and see it
Toyama: please do come and visit us again!
shizu: i would love to! thank you very much!
