Q how did your aobazaka promotion tour went? did you have fun?
ten: it was SO fun! at first i was feeling worried, since i'm the only one from sakurazaka. nogi-san had two members, and yoko-chan from hinata. i call her "yoko" now. apparently that is how she want to be called, so i ended up calling them with their last names. "yoko-chan", "mao-chan", "nao-chan". it was so fun! we appeared in and recorded various shows since early morning, and we gradually become close with every break time. i don't know why, but we just started conversing, that by nearing the end of it we were like "nooo is it really ending?" or "don't go, you guysss". nao-chan had a radio work at Tokyo that evening, so she has to go back with how packed her schedule is, but we exchanged contact detail! i have more friends! i only had nogi's saku-chan as a friend outside of sakura, so i was like, "yikes! this isn't good!". so hono-chan somehow set it up as my goal as a 20 yo, she said: "ten-chan, please make friends outside sakurazaka". i made it!!! just barely!!
matsu: i believe you can do it, ten-chan
ten: really!? well, i suppose we doesn't have that much opportunity to interact
matsu: inter-sakamichi group doesn't meet, or speak, as much as you guys are probably imagining... there is no time to... i'm sure that those with communicative skill can probably do it..
ten: but yeah, we need more interactions or opportunities to work together like this... but yeah, i made it!!! all three of them!! kukuku!! i'm so happy! i met mao-chan and nao-chan at girl's award the other day, and yumiki nao-chan said, "i miss you already! i'm missing ten-chan already!! I've been waiting to see you again!!". then for some reason nao-chan pulled my hand and brought me to nogi-san's dressing room, and while still holding my hand, she showed me to tamura mayu and kaki while saying: "TA-DAH~! i made a new friend! it's ten-chan!"
matsu: hshshs but we are genmates!?!?!?
ten: isn't she so cute?! she was so funny. i also got to visit nogi-san's dressing room during TGC, i visited nogi-san's dressing room quite a lot
matsu: rare occurrence, tho
ten: yeah, very rarely. i feel kinda sorry, they might say, "for some reason sakurazaka's Yamasaki ten came into nogizaka's dressing room"
matsu: i kinda want yo to start familiarize yourself and hyping things up there. become nogizaka's dressing room leader
ten; that'll be crazy
matsu: you are already one for Sakura, then maybe try to be one for nogi too
ten: i was so nervous tho!! even someone like me!! to be in THE nogizaka46-san's dressing room. everyone were so kind, truly! everyone were so nice! did matsu do seminar or such?
matsu: no, i didn't
ten: oh right, you wouldn't be able to work with the aobazaka girls... how are you feeling!?
matsu: i'm kinda feeling frustrated about it! being unable to meet the future girls... they will also be doing their own activities with quite long, for a year, so there is a long time until they come to join us. but i'd be happy if they could be girls who want to work hard for the sake of the group
ten: these are the words from sakurazaka's captain...!
matsu: we are waiting for you!
ten: yeah! truly! so there are still two days until the application deadline... how did you apply, Matsuda?
matsu: my sister recommended it to me, and i applied on the last day when they extended it. i think it's definitely better to apply when you still have the leeway. don't send it too close! just send it if you have interest! and it's better to talk about it to girls that you think should give it a try, because that is how it happened to me! to you who are listening, give that girl a push! it's pretty important!
ten: a CM...!?
matsu: if it weren't for my sister, i wouldn't know that the audition is happening at all, and i wouldn't apply for it. so be their push!
ten: and that girl even become a captain now! isn't that shocking!?
matsu: tbh i wasn't even someone who knows about idols, but now i'm a captain! i think it's okay to think about the details after you passed
ten: think of it as life experience
matsu: and how about ten-chan? you started young, right? that's amazing. how? why?
ten: on my elementary school's graduation ceremony, we were asked to declare "what do you want to be when you are an adult?" in order to receive our graduation certificate. everyone had big dreams like "soccer athlete", but i never thought of anything like "i want to be a florist!". i was only sure that i cannot be an office worker (salaryman)
matsu: wow, you already thought about it since then? isn't that way too fast?
ten: yeah. crazy, right? i did thought of giving it a try... but yeah, i thought there is no way. i can't operate a laptop, i can't bear wearing suits and then work at the same hours every day
matsu: right, since school is basically like that
ten: yeah. i really respect you guys office workers... since that is impossible, i was wondering on what i should say, so i said, "i will decide on it in middle school". i should've given a basic answer lol
matsu: lol you could've just said whatever!! "a patisserie!" but you probably thought about it seriously, huh?
ten: yeah, i don't want to lie. because of that, as i seriously thought about my future in middle school, the audition happened during the summer vacation. and i was like, "i like keyaki... so maybe i should give it a try?" so i applied
matsu: so you decided yourself?
ten: yeah
matsu: isn't that amazing!? you were just a first year middle schooler! and you already know that you want to apply
ten: my parents were against it, yknow? especially my dad. they were like, "entertainment world is tough!". despite knowing the reality, i still said, "i'm applying!"
matsu: that's the kind of sentence a high school senior should be saying lol
ten: but it's not like i thought i will pass. i did also feel like casually applying since it's during summer vacation
matsu: i also took it casually, but of course, i can't be like that anymore once i pass. but yeah, even though we were like that, we work hard after passing the audition. there is no need to overthink about the distant future, but indeed there are various aspects of reality to consider
ten: i think it's amazing how they are considering it that far, that means they are serious about it
matsu: you should just apply. we are waiting for you! sakamichi group is truly a great place!
Q mail sender said was shocked to hear her graduation and will miss matsuri in the group, will cherish the time chatting with her in miiguri. curious to know if she have memorable story with ten or hikaru
ten: your graduation... it's still some time away, but how are you feeling?
matsu: hearing this makes me happy, the time i spent chatting with everyone are also cherished memory of me, i feel helped and supported by everyone's words as well. it made me feel my graduation deeper
ten: wait. after you graduate, you might no longer do miiguri?... there is non zero chance that you might never do one again in your life...
matsu: yeah...
ten: eh
matsu: eh
ten: isn't it so weird...
matsu: yeah... we get to hear words that makes us happy, that we take for granted...
ten: you won't be able to get them anymore
matsu: i've been spoiled...
ten: you won't get them anymore once you graduated... "this was so cute"...
matsu: GIMME!!
ten: "i love this matsuri-chan"...
matsu: GIMME!!!
ten: nope. never
matsu: are you fr... everyone... please take care of me in our final miiguri sessions... please convey your words to me... i will do the same!!
matsu: but yeah, stories with ten-chan and hika-chan...
ten: run-chan suddenly gets mentioned lol but yeah, i even went to get a meal with matsu's family before lol isn't that so weird?? but i'm close with matsu's family~ with her papa mama~
matsu: ten-chan's communicative skill is crazy!! my dad and mom came recently, and we planned to go have a meal with them after work, and i thought, "maybe i should tell ten-chan about this?". i don't even know why!! i just thought i should mention it. so i said, "i'm going to go out and have meal with my parents after this", and ten-chan said, "eh!! i wanna come!!"
ten: i don't really get to meet them!! it's pretty rare!!
matsu: right, you didn't get to meet them the other day too. and then ten-chan finished work earlier than me, and there are still a long time until i can go, so i said, "ten-chan, you can go to my place first"
ten: i went to matsu's place ahead lol
matsu: so yeah, ten-chan hung out with my parents for 30~40 minutes at my place... like it doesn't make sense!!!
ten: and it's not like i'm related to anyone lol
matsu: i told my mom, "sorry still have meeting, text ten-chan first"
ten: we spent that ~40 minutes talking endlessly
matsu: it was amazing. the moment i stepped into my place, i could hear the sound of laughter already... like, what are these people are even that excited about!?
ten: they are so funny and kind! i love matsu's mama papa!
matsu: i'm glad to hear that, thank you
ten: np. we talked about serious stuff too, they said they don't hear serious convo about work with you
matsu: ... I DO IT THO???
ten: right lol, but they said they feel like they can't really step in because they are your parents. they listened to everything i had to say
matsu: that's so funny. i guess now i have to meet ten-chan's parents regularly, i would love to meet them too! then after that the four of us went for a meal
ten; and we spoke with you mama until very late at night, right? her dad went to bed first
matsu: we went back to my place, and we spoke like... until three?
ten: 3 AM, yeah lol then since we have work the next day, we ended up going together lol and amazingly it happened to be work with just two of us
matsu: and there is another trip between us, right? i don't think we ever talked about this...
ten: omg yeah. i don't think we talked about this!
matsu: wait there is not enough time
ten: right!? what are we going to do!?
*sfx playing*
robot announcer: in the middle of discussion~
[at this point they are talking for 18:30 minutes already]
robot announcer: confirming schedule~
matsu - ten: let's talk about it~
matsu: i went... to Okinawa with ten-chan! we did sent pictures to mobame, so there might be those who are already aware of it. but yeah, we went to Okinawa for 4 nights and 5 days?
matsu - ten: such a long trip~
ten: i think it might be the longest trip i ever went with a member
matsu: you went overseas (with members0 before
ten: yeah, but this is just in Okinawa! that time we went to like 2~3 different countries! but we stayed for 4 nights and 5 days in Okinawa!! we did talk about moving to tohoku, but we thought that we are wasting time...
matsu: "let's enjoy Okinawa to the fullest"
ten: "let's take a trip around Okinawa!"
matsu: and we ended up staying for 4 nights and 5 days
ten: the typhoon... directly hit...
matsu: but Okinawa was pretty okay! there was no rain, it was just cloudy
ten: we didn't enter the sea, because it was dangerous, and we're too scared. we only stayed in the pool. we went to hamabe a bit, take pictures, then went back
matsu: we only looked at the sea
ten: we looked
matsu: and we also swam in the pool
ten: we swam
matsu: we put on googles
ten: we put on googles
matsu: we dived
ten: we dived. please imagine this: we both put on googles, then as we are in the pool, we screamed
matsu: we try to guess what each other are saying
ten: i can hear it, but just a bit of it!
matsu: i worked so hard to open my mouth to say the words. it was so funny
ten: can i say another funny story? we both love bicycles, right? so we rented one, but it was raining really hard on the way home. we were drenched! then in that moment, someone in the streets-- perhaps a tourist said, "is that Yamasaki ten-chan!?". i was like, "how did they even recognize me while i'm drenched like this!?" and i did my best to run away. it didn't feel as though they fully recognize me
matsu: maybe thought you are just someone who just looked alike
ten: so i ran!! isn't it embarrassing to be seen when i'm cycling while being so drenched? if you are listening, i'm sorry for showing you such figure... if they had realize it was truly me, it's even more embarrassing since they also see me running away
matsu: if they seen you, it's already over. they will remember, "oh, that was indeed ten-chan"
ten: but it was fun, the way something like this even happen
matsu: the steakhouse was delicious too
ten: yeah!
matsu: we were there for like 1,5 hours?
ten: we were the for like 2 hours. we ate steak for 2 hours
matsu: no way... i don't remember our hands stopped moving...
ten: we didn't...
matsu: that's so scary!?
ten: there was an eat-as-much-as-want blue seal ice cream... i think i ate like 5 cups...
matsu: it was small, kid-sized cup, but you had like three scoops per cup
ten: yeah. i don't remember what flavor i ate
matsu: i had like 3 cups, but it was so delicious
ten: yeah
matsu: we also got soup...
ten: the salad bar too...
matsu: we can refill the rice too...
ten: and then two hours just happened...
matsu: we just kept eating...
ten: before we knew it, the sun is already setting
matsu: and! ten-chan drove for me! thank you!
ten; hey, you also have driving license!
matsu: true
ten: you really supported me!
matsu: that was the only thing i can do...
ten: "take the next right" or "we'll turn right soon" or "watch out for that car"
matsu: i said everything out loud. "ok! you can park right in!"
ten: i was very thankful
matsu: likewise, as you drove for me
ten: that was the first time i had a member as a passenger. i didn't want to!! i'm scared! i worked hard!! i'm glad you're alive!!
matsu: even your parking skill was great! all these time i never parked perpendiculary, it's always slightly angled. but ten parked them all like that!!! i was like, "she's so cool!! that's so smooth!!"
ten: thanks! i practiced, yknow, before we went to Okinawa. i went back home and practiced, and i thought, "oh, i think i'm pretty okay with parking"
matsu: you were good... you even drove us for quite long time, like, 1,5 hours
ten: i enjoyed it!
matsu: the road was pretty easy to drive around, right? and ten-chan dropped too much money on hibiscus-shaped clip
ten: i really wanted that...
matsu: there was this big, as big as the real flower, hibiscus-shaped clip that screams Okinawa in the claw machine. and she just kept going for it!
ten: i used so much money to the point it's better for me to just buy, but it wasn't sold in any store!! if there is one, i would've gotten it already. i want it so bad...
matsu: in the end she gave up... then next, we found one that have a small hibiscus one lol and she went at it again. she said "i want this pink one!", and when she got a different color she said, "no, this isn't it" and she just kept going
ten: i don't remember how much i spend for it
[ten and matsuri proceeded to describe the hairclip and ask fans to tell them where to buy one lol]
ten: we were planning to ride banana boat and such too, but since it was raining, we ended up just relaxing
matsu: especially on the last day, we were really chilling
ten: we just slept until noon
matsu: we also cooked. bbq, or rather, hot plate. we went to supermarket to buy the goods, cooked them. then the next morning ten-chan made french toast, toasted sandwich
ten: we did nagashi soumen too, right?
matsu: on the last day. it was so tasty...
ten: yeah...
[whispering about how delicious the fruits are]
matsu: thank you okinawa
ten: we'd love to come again when the weather is nice. but i would love to go to tohoku!
matsu: i wanna eat persimmon!
ten: let's enter onsen too!
matsu: let's go!!
Q as the captain, i think that you have seen the group from many different angles, please tell us what do you think is the charm of sakurazaka46 and what do you like about the group!
matsu: sakurazaka have so many charm, of course! but as captain, as a member... i think it's lovely how warm and kind everyone are. each member would say "this is amazing!" or "this is so cute!" to each other, and as someone who received those words too, it makes me happy and want to convey to others what i found to be nice from them. it's like a cycle of goodness in sakurazaka. and i feel that it might also lead to our vibe, the way people perceive us from the outside, and i think it has become another charm of ours. of course, our performance as well, but i think how kind everyone are is our charm
ten: i'm happy to hear that. how many months do you have left in the group?
matsu: this is october, so about three months? so short, huh?
ten: so short...
matsu: it just flies by
ten: i can't believe it. like, we've been together for eight years! isn't that crazy? it feel so sudden. everyone are suddenly disappearing. "huh? where did Inoue go to?"
matsu: "huh? yui-chan disappear?"
ten: "eh? kira-chan disappear", one by one, everyone disappear
matsu: right, i get it. it just happen
ten: you feel satisfied? though there are still some time left
matsu: it's complicated, like i'm satisfied, but i'm not. because i'm still going to be around, let me in! i want sakurazaka to be a group who can continue to aim even higher, so... i'll entrust it to you. let's work hard together
ten: this is probably not your sakumimi, but is there anything that you'd like to say to buddies? something that you'd like to say before your grad ceremony
matsu: then... if you have the opportunity to meet and speak with me, please do tell me your fun memories with me, or what you found to be nice. i would love to hear lots about that. i want to be praised!
ten: please praise her lots! you have worked so hard
matsuri: thanks. ten-chan too, you really work hard
ten: let's enjoy it together!
[they were planning to invite hikaru to okinawa too, but she had other plans]
topic: audition
ten: the choreographer is seishiro-san, who usually choreograph for nogizaka-san. it uses muscles that we don't usually use, all sakurazaka members got sore muscles the day after the choreo lesson! but when we told him that, he said, "that is the proof that you dance it well". he's so kind!! seishiro-san's team is so kind!! they'd go "that's perfect~" or "how wonderful~". it was really fun. we got to dance a choreo that we don't usually get to, it was so much fun and fresh. made me feel like, "wait omg am i a nogizaka (member)?". it has nogi-san's color, but there are also parts that are sakurazaka-like here and there, we also got our solo choreo
