I don’t really understand. But, I want to do my best in living (Suzumoto Miyu B.L.T December 2017)



People often say that “Keyakizaka46 are close with each other” but i don’t think it’s just like that. You could say it’s a relationship where we’re able to express and discuss our ideas with each other.
The reason that we’ve become this way is due to the many things that happened during the national tour this summer, for me personally there were a lot of complicated feelings.
There wasn’t a lot of time to learn the choreography for the album songs, but we did our best to memorize it. We started the tour while feeling anxious but after each performance, Fuuchan (Saito Fuyuka) and I watched the recordings and we put together the interesting points which Fuuchan would to convey to the members before the next performance.
The feeling, “As long as everyone’s together as Keyaki, we can do it”, is something that I want to say with my own mouth but I’m not good at putting it into words…. (laughs).

The cheerful dance of Kaze ni Fukaratemo was different from our songs until now, right? For me, the songs I have fun dancing to are intense ones like (3rd single coupling) “Otona wa shinjitekurenai” but when i dance “Kaze ni~”, I naturally start to smile.
When we are performing on a music program on TV, members are having fun making appeals that they have never done before, like pointing their fingers at the camera or winking. Seeing that happen makes me happy too.
And, the dance was more difficult from those in the past, but i think that it is a step that we must take so that Keyaki could go toward a new place, so i did my best to move my feet (laughs).

2017 was…. I won’t say that it’s a “good year” for us in it’s entirety, but it was a necessary and positive year for us.
When going through a bad situation and having everyone come together to overcome it, that turns it into a really meaningful experience to carry onwards, doesn’t it.
I really want to continue with Keyakizaka46 to my utmost limit. I want to be with everyone.
Keyaki is a group where we support each other, a group where someone is always needed someone by else. Personally, I feel like Hirate’s (Yurina) existence is a big one.
We don’t have the relationship where we go to each other for advice, but we support each other.
So if someone wasn’t there, the member who supported that girl will be broken hearted. I started to think that maybe being too connected is a bad thing. I have thought about it personally, and I feel like crying fearing that I wouldn’t be able to continue if someone disappeared. That’s why. Everyone is important to me, I really love them.

Sugai Yuuka and the members' message to each other [Sugai Yuuka's Graduation Memorial Book] Part 1 / 2

Image
  Uemura Rina “Thank you very much for your hard work in the past 7 years, truly. I’m sure that there must have been times when you just wanted to run away, so thank you very much for staying this long. I am very grateful. As our well-spoken and courteous Captain, Yukka has always done the greetings on behalf of the members. There were a lot of members who used Yukka’s blog as reference when we were at a loss on what to write in their own blogs. I think that she was the best role model for everyone, both as an individual and as an idol. But when Yukka slipped on her words at a very tense moment, we all burst into laughter, and it created a good atmosphere (laughs). From now on, live as you want, Yukka. Let's continue to be friends!” Yuuka: Lately, there are many moments where I feel that Rina has “grown mature”, and she has become someone I could talk about the group with. As she became such a person to me, it makes me happy how we have built a comfortable relationship, like how be

Kobayashi Yui interview in Tokyo Calendar March 2024 edition

Image
The interview was conducted after the end of Sakurazaka46’s 3rd Anniversary Live, and right after Kobayashi Yui announced her graduation. The month of December. Kobayashi-san, who exudes a mature atmosphere, blended in with the streets of Ginza in no time. That was the picture at the beginning, taken on a street corner. First, I asked her about her impression of Ginza. “I have the impression that it’s quiet and calming. I feel that most people there are those who are working nearby rather than youngsters” she explains, but also adds that she’s not knowledgeable about Ginza. “There are so many stores here that I feel like exploring. I’ve never been inside a brand-name store before, so I’ll start from there (laughs)”, so she aspires. She sounded as if she would feel more satisfied with her first visit to a brand-name store than with anything she would purchase inside. She also mentions that she rarely eats outside. She used to go out with foodie ex-members Harada Aoi-san and Ozeki Rika-s

Habu Mizuho and the members' message to each other ["Destination" photobook] Pt 1

Image
  Question for members: In all this time you worked with Habu, which moment left you the most impression? What kind of presence is Habu for the group? What part of Habu makes you go “I love this side of hers” or “This side of hers is so lovely”? Please tell us “A secret about Habu only I know about.” Please give a message to Habu, who is moving toward the next stage of her life. --- Habu comment on 1st gen members: The 1st generation member with whom I have spent eight years with. The presence of my “genmates” always reassures me at any given moment. They have saved me countless times. I’d like to convey my gratitude and “thank you” for the four of them who would understand and accept me no matter who I am, and for giving me the push I needed to set out for the future. Uemura Rina Habu comment: A kind person who, in a good way, never changed in the past eight years. She would lend her ears and comfort people with an approachable atmosphere. She feels like “an eternal Idol” not just for
