Thank you very much for opening my blog.
I'm Sakurazaka46's 4th generation member, Katsumata Haru.
Today is 31st March.
The new year begins tomorrow.
The students will be moving up a grade, and there might be many working professionals who found themselves in a new environment due to job reassignments or other reasons.
And at such a turning point, I have an announcement to make.
I have graduated from university this March!!
Hooray
When I look back to it again, the past four years had been more intense than I imagined.
Especially the last two years.
I applied for Sakurazaka46's audition when I was in my third year.
I didn't expect to be accepted, so there was a time when I did job hunting,
but as my desire to become a member of Sakurazaka46 even stronger, there were nights that I spent thinking of things such as what catchphrase I would use if I were accepted into Sakurazaka46, even when I had an interview scheduled with a regular company.
Then I passed, and started my activities as Sakurazaka46's 4th generation member in my fourth year.
Compared to those who balanced their idol activities and academic studies for several years, I only had to do it for just my fourth year, so I have much respect to them.
Even then, as some of you may have noticed, I am a clumsy person,
As I experienced many new things in my first year as an idol, I struggled to balance it with my graduation thesis, where I need to address an issue in a long-term and planned manner.
On the day where we did location filming at FujiQ,
I was not only pressured by the roller coaster I have to ride in several minutes, but also by my assignment that was due for the next day.
(As a result, even though I have fear of heights, I was able to enjoy the roller coaster as a breather...)
On top of that, I also started to get worried for no reason such as, "I should've given more reaction" lol
Because I am someone clumsy who struggled so many times as such, I really felt the support of everyone around me.
My genmates, whom I spent the most time together with.
I often opened my laptop in the dressing room, and frequently turn down invitations for meals and outings,
but the moment I closed my laptop, they would casually say "Good work today",
they also said things like, "You can started going out for meals from the next year, right? I'll wait for it!! New year, hurry up and come!".
I was truly so happy that they always treat me so casually like that.
Can I be the one to invite you all our in the future...!?
My seniors.
"Good work with university" or "Congratulations for your graduation",
When I returned to Sakurazaka46's work place from university, even though they all must be tired, they spoke to me so thoughtfully while looking at me in the eye that I feel very grateful for it.
Every words and expressions remains vivid in my memory even now, and they gave me the strength to push through the rest of the work that day.
Managers-san, staff members-san.
I have truly caused so much trouble for them until now, but whenever I rushed to Sakurazaka46's work place after school and say "I'm sorry for being late", the first thing they say to me was always "Thank you for your hard work" with a smile.
They not only helped me with scheduling, but also provided constant emotional support.
And to all of you who have always supported me.
Ever since I revealed my university in January, I have received many kind words in many different forms such as through letters, miiguri, and such.
I wonder if all of you are feeling pleased reading this right now?
I've been looking forward to this moment, as I imagine the expressions in each of your faces!
I also also able to attend my graduation ceremony,
as you can see from my radiant expression, it was a clear and fine weather, perfect for a graduation ceremony☀️
I aimed for this university because I thought that it would allow me to challenge many different things.
But in the first place, being able to think "I want to try" and actually get to do so is not something that should be taken for granted, but a privilege.
High school entrance exam, university entrance exam, idol audition
To my family who I have surprised a lot, but continues to always support me.
My university classmates, club members, hometown friends who live their lives true to themselves and given me so much inspiration.
I can work hard in Tokyo with a peace of mind because I have these people who still treat me in the same casual way as before I joined the group,
and say things like, "I watched that thing from the other day~".
I am filled with so much gratitude for so many people that I can't possibly name them all here.
Truly, truly, thank you very much.
Then,
starting from tomorrow, it's all dedicated to Sakurazaka46!
I would like to express my feelings of gratitude that words alone cannot fully convey in various ways, one by one, from now on.
And so,
Please do accept it!!
I'd appreciate your continued support from now on 🌸
