Good evening, everyone 🌸
It’s Matono Mio
On 31st January, 1st February
Sakurazaka46’s “Kobayashi Yui Graduation Concert” was held
Truly, thank you very much to everyone who have come, to everyone who watched through stream!
I had to be absent from Day 1
due to COVID infection.
I am truly sorry to everyone who have looked forward to my appearance.
I’m filled with much frustration.
Since I had to rest, a lot of the other members were suddenly asked to do something in my stead
and I have caused a lot of inconvenience and worries
to the members, staff, and all of you Buddies
I am truly sorry.
On Day 2, I have recovered and really wanted to at least be there for Yui-san’s ceremony
and was able to participate in just the graduation ceremony.
I was truly, truly glad to have been able to see Yui-san’s final appearance as a Sakurazaka46 member with my own two eyes.
And when the curtain of the graduation concert has come down like this,
I am filled with emotions that could not be expressed in words
When I see Yui-san’s beautiful figure shining on the stage,
I once again felt how much I admire and love Yui-san
When I look back to my memories with Yui-san, all I remember how I always seemed to be having fun
Yui-san’s graduation has made it feel like a large hole has been left open in my heart,
but I also think that it’s a new beginning for me.
We will continue to devote ourselves while keeping what she has built and what she has shared with us within our hearts
I hope to become a person admired by someone someday, just like Yui-san
I think that I could be who I am now because of Yui-san.
No matter how far Yui-san’s new path might be,
I will always, always cheering for you
Truly, thank you for your hard work!
And truly thank you very much for supporting the group for so long!!
I hope that Yui-san’s next stage from now on
will be filled with happiness as well.
Thank you very much for reading until the end!
See ya
