Good evening
It’s Yuuzu
Sakurazaka46’s 11th single
“UDAGAWA GENERATION”
This time, I’ll be doing my activities as a BACKS member
Thank you as always for your warm support
I love this group
I love doing my activities
But, to tell you the truth, I’ve never had confidence in myself
The thought “Why am I here?” came to my head countless times
I’ve been running with all my might, desperately trying not to get left behind by the incredibly fast-paced days,
And when I suddenly have to stop, I realized that I didn’t know who I was anymore
Before, there was a time when I said I was frustrated that I didn’t get selected as a substitute member
[T/N: This blog]
But before I knew it
I was finding myself wondering more and more,
Why did it have to be me anyway?
But, I’ve always resolved to be someone you can be proud of supporting, and I’ve never given up on getting stronger
It’s because as a part of the group, I want to mean something to it
It’s true that I’ve been trying to accumulate experience, but what I’ve accumulated is still not yet tangible. I’m the one who knows that the most
It’s not about my position, or me comparing myself with others, but just how I feel about myself
And I was confronted with this reality each time, during the 8th, 9th, and 10th single senbatsu announcements
I was just maintaining the status quo, and that was really frustrating for me
And this time too, there are still emotions within me I can’t put into words
But because I’ve been struggling in the same place for so long, I understand the value of being able to have new experiences
Truthfully, I’ve always wanted to ignite a change from within
And this time, I’ll really try my best to step out from my comfort zone firmly
I want to face this with a positive mindset
Please take care of me for the 11th single too
Sorry that it wasn’t coherent
Thank you very much for reading
Wishing you nothing but good things 🌻
See you
From Yuuzu
