We Still Subbing

Tamura Hono “First of all, I would like to thank you for creating Keyakizaka46 which I fell in love with. Risa-san, I don’t know how many times the group and also myself were supported by your unwavering figure no matter what the situation may be. The early days when I was sitting behind watching the seniors rehearsing is something that I won’t ever forget, and it will always be a very precious memory for me. I remember all the kindness and words that I have received from you, Risa-san. When the formation I was participating in for the first time was announced, you always took care of me and stayed by my side when I was having a difficult time, and you would also call me out to ask me “are you okay?”. It made me really happy and I will never forget it. I am forever grateful to you. Also, it would make me very happy if we can go out again sometime. I was never able to tell you “I want to go out together” …… I will always love you.” Risa:  After Hono-chan joined Keyakizaka46 as a 2nd...

  Inoue Rina “I was so happy that I cried back when I managed to get a photo with Risa-san for the first time. When we took a photo together recently, she told me “You cried out of joy back then, didn’t you?”, meaning that she remembered about it. Plus, the way she said it was so cute. Of course, even now it still makes me happy when we are taking pictures together. There are still many things that I want to talk about with her and the sadness still lingers, but I hope Risa-san can do a lot of things that she wants to do. I’m also wishing for her happiness. I will always cherish the time we had working together in the group. Risa-san, congratulations on your graduation. Thank you very much for everything.” Risa: I recall that when Inoue joined us as a 2nd generation member, she told me that she likes me (lol). I’m honestly happy to have a girl like her joining the group. Right now, she is an indispensable presence for us in variety shows. She always makes us laugh with her funny r...

Uemura Rina “Risa, I remember we first started talking when I invited the quiet you, like “Let’s go home together!” and you went along with me. That was so long ago~ You and I both like similar things, and thinking back to whenever I was with you, I think we were always laughing. Like when we went to theme parks, to eat, and when we went home together. I enjoyed the casual days and have fond memories of all of them. I thought it was amazing how alongside our group activities, you became an exclusive model, and published a photo book! In fact, I like Risa the model so much that I’d sneak a look at your pages in “non-no” every month, so I hope you will continue your modeling work. Even though I’ve seen you cry in the early days, you’ve gotten stronger and stronger and I’ve always respected that about you. I’m sure that you’ve been through a lot too, but thank you for staying with the group up until now. Let’s continue to be good friends, and please let me visit your house. Thank you very...
