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...

A Dreaming Girl (Tamura Hono interview with B.L.T graph vol 101 May 2024 edition)

  Sincere, genuine, and positive—these were the qualities that emerged from Tamura Hono's words, highlighting that the group is currently in its best condition it has ever been. However, this is not their final stop. Rather, it is seen as just a milestone. Now, they are ready to go beyond full bloom. Q The other day, I was able to watch the 2nd of “4th ARENA TOUR 2024 Shin Sakurazensen - Go on back? -” performance in Kanagawa. It might just happen to be something that happened that day, but I had the impression that there were a lot of women in the audience. What do you feel from the stage? Hono: Right… I have always got the impression that there are a lot of women coming to our events, but I think that people around me have been mentioning it more often recently. Such as, “There sure is a lot of women in Sakurazaka46’s concert audience”. My parents also came to watch, and it seems that they saw the fans taking pictures together with the individual member flags in front of the venu...

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...
