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 who was dancing to alter ego... it was so unbearably cute
hikaru: karin kept practicing for it~
airi: they shot morita-san as you danced to natsuchika last chorus and i was like, "sooo cuteee"
hikaru: we learned 4ki's and 3ki's Sakura poses for the first time, and we were like, "should be make our own too?" lol... as for funny stories during rehearsal, personally what made me laugh is... perhaps because she was hungry, ten-chan ended up seeing the patten on the floor (tile) as food. it was so cute and funny, i took a picture of it. perhaps one day i will release it somewhere
airi: it was quite hot and there were a lot of members who taken actions toward the heat, and the members were split between those who takes it really seriously and those who doesn't care and doesn't even wear a hat. it was so sakurazaka-like and funny
hikaru: that sure happened
airi: right? those who dressed up fully you had no idea who they were. the rehearsal was fun, too!
Q please tell us your honest thoughts when you first learned that sakurazaka will be performing at national stadium. please also tell us which member or song is the most memorable to you
airi: it sure was a shock, wasn't it? there are not many artist who have been able to perform at the national stadium, and to know that sakurazaka will be doing it was... it was mix of shock and happiness, a quite complicated feeling. but i sure was happy
hikaru: it's such a huge place that i didn't even dare to name it as a dream, but when i heard it i was so happy that i exchanged look with hono-chan and felt like crying. of course i was shocked, but the happiness was even bigger, and i felt at ease now that we have done it
momomi: 4ki were told about it separately, and everyone just froze up. we were like, "eh...?", so much so that we were told that they were expecting a bigger reaction. it was just... unbelievable, but then it slowly started to become real. i was so happy that we all could safely do both days together
airi: it was so much fun. i was happy to see that scenery, to see so many buddies
hikaru: at first i was worried, but to see so many people coming, i'm so grateful for it
airi: as for member / song that is memorable to you... personally, seeing 4ki's nakagawa chihiro-chan joining samidare yo, made me thought "she's so cute...". on d2, she asked me, "what hairstyle do you think i should do today?". when i said, "i love braids", she said, "then i will do that!", and she actually did. i think that a lot of members were worried about the kind of hairstyle they should do at kokuritsu, so i was surprised that she immediately went and do it. it made me happy, and she looked cute and soft too, very much matching it
hikaru: the member who left the most impression is, after all, takemoto yui. she really worked hard for it, and i was so happy to be able to dance the dance track she made together with everyone else. it was so fun and all the buddies were excited, it was just an amazing moment
momomi: as for me, masumoto-san in nazekoi. her eyes sparkled so brightly, which of course she does in many other occasions too, but when i saw the video i feel for her right away. i rewatched that part many times
Q which concert costume do you like?
momomi: this is difficult... i love everything, they each have their own concept... but i guess the last, black one. the decorations on the shoulder, and it also has a new shoulder design too. i performed while thinking of how much i like it, and how cool it is
airi: i was so scared that it will broke off...
hikaru: didn't it break off for real?
airi: right!? something did fell on stage!
hikaru: i think it was the flowers from the first costume...
airi: i was so scared that it will get caught on my hand and broke off on stage... i kept thinking about it while performing. but if i have to choose... the first one. each members has different design, such as the length of the pants, of the coat. it's so cute. the way the skirts float when skirt-wearing members turn was so cute, i love it
hikaru: the skirt-wearing members looked so elegant. and the flowers were carefully made too, they made it up right until the very day before the show. it's a costume filled with much love, i would love to wear it again
airi - momomi: yeah!
hikaru: while of course i love everything, many members told me that the second costume really suited me, so i'll go with that!
airi: the second costume was cute too, with the ribbon. ever costume looked good in every member. let's ask the staff to allow us to wear them again!
hikaru: and at the end of d2 encore, 15th single, national tour, 6th anniv live, and asia tour 2027 were announced!
airi: info drop lol
hikaru: i'm sure the buddies must have been shocked lol
airi: we will be visiting places we never really visit before for the national tour, it made me happy, and of course how we will be holding one at hiroshima which is near my hometown
hikaru: and for anniv, we will be doing it at zozo
momomi: i never been there before, so i look forward to it!
airi - hikaru: it will be cold~!!!
momomi: i need to take preparations, huh?
airi: it's a nice, beautiful venue. how to put it... it's easy to see them whole, please look forward to it
hikaru: and it will also be our first time doing double a single... it sure was a surprise at first. i'm sure that it will be something that will be twice more exciting than usual, and we'd like to work hard to deliver excitements to everyone
airi: and there is also the asia tour, it was a shock
hikaru: yeah lol
airi: we were told just right before the concert too. and we were all like, "asia tour??? overseas???". we still doesn't know the places we'll go to, but we look forward to it!
hikaru: we will finally be able to go and see the buddies who have been supporting us overseas
airi: i'm so happy! i'm really excited for it!
hikaru: please wait for it excitingly!
Q what is a "concert" for sakurazaka46?
hikaru: we have answered this question (from ENCORE) twice before, but as for sakurazaka46 who just completed national stadium and is heading toward 6th year...
all: for sakurazaka46, a "concert" is a "release (解放)"
hikaru: it is a place of release. a place that allows the members and buddies to release feelings that they have been keeping inside. it is also a place that let you loosen up
momomi: we are always feel released
airi: we always have fun, that's why we love concerts
momomi: finding a new part of ourselves
hikaru: we hope that it can continue to be a place where we exchange many emotions, and release many emotions!
final messages
momomi: first of all, thank you for listening to ENCORE. following the end of national tour, we are now entering our 6th year. we will of course continue to work hard, and i hope that we will continue to see many wonderful sceneries together with the buddies. please give us your continued support in our 6th year as well
airi: such a solid message! then, from me... i'd be happy if you could feel the afterglow from listening to ENCORE. i was truly so happy to have been able to see such wonderful sceneries together with everyone in such a big venue, and i'd be happy if you continue to give us plenty of your support from now on. i can't wait to perform a concert again!
hikaru: thank you very much for listening until the very end, truly. there were many things that we only talked about here, and i think that you can also enjoy many new stories of what goes on behind the stage while looking back to this concert, so i'd be happy if you could listen to this again and again. we will continue to work hard to deliver many exciting things to you without stopping in our 6th year, so please give us your continued support!
all: please do!
