2024 is ending. May your heart and body be warm #nagisablog (2024.12.31)

Hello everyone!

It’s Sakurazaka46’s Kojima Nagisa

 

Now that Christmas is over, we are on the last day of 2024

This year, I spent Christmas with the members again. I was also able to meet Santa-san, and I had so much fun!

Did you all have a wonderful Christmas as well? ☺︎

 

 

And then,

when it comes to closing,

there is Kouhaku Uta Gassen on this day, 31st!

Let’s have fun together in front of the TV~ 👍🏻

 

Turning back time, the 10th single BACKS LIVE‼︎ was held at the start of December!

I am truly happy that we were able to held the show safely until the final performance

Truly thank you very much to everyone who have came, to everyone who watched through streaming

 

🐶 3rd day was the graduation ceremony for my beloved Fuyuka-san

“Thank you for taking care of us” is not enough to express how she has warmly and carefully raised us 3rd generation members

When we first just started, we (obviously) had no idea how to sing, to dance, to show ourselves; We felt sorry to be standing on the same stage as them,

But now we have grown so much that we could enjoy performing with Fuyuka-san

During this rehearsal period, there was no sad mood at all in a good way, and as Fuyuka-san’s powerful cheerfulness brightened up the space

we headed into the actual show in a very bright mood

Fans often say to me during miiguri and such, “Lessons are hard, aren’t they? Please don’t push yourself to hard” and such,

While of course there are a lot of difficulties,

but above all, I like the vibe of BACKS LIVE,

I like to spend time with the members

and without joking, enjoy performing BACKS LIVE every single time,

but it was all truly because of how the seniors, Fuyuka-san included, really closed their distance with us 3rd generation members

Especially in front of Fuyuka-san, I feel like I can just be myself as it is just like how I am in front of the other 3rd generation

Also in a personal level, I was happy to be able to sit next to Fuyuka-san in the dressing room in a usual manner, to be able to chat and spent irreplaceable time with her

Once again, congratulations on your graduation!

I’d like to do my best to evolve day by day while continuing to protect everything that Fuyuka-san has left behind for us!

I will always love you!!! It’s LOVE~~ 🫶🏻

 

🐰 And continuing on, about DAY 1 & 3~

From here I will be repeating what I wrote in my blog before, what I have said during the MC session of the concert,

But from the moment it was decided she’s going to be the chairman, I have made a promise together with Yu-chan that we will make this concert into a good show for sure

Those are sincere words that can be said because I was with Yu

“A good show” might seem like a abstract words, but I think that if all the Buddies could smile and we can all have fun together to the fullest from the bottom of our hearts,

then we can say that was “a good show” (I was able to hear a lot of cheering during the show!)

So if everyone who came and watched could project their voice and have fun, then I think that my goal with Yu-chan has been achieved

How was it~?

I had so, so much fun!

The rehearsal for every show are serious, but the actual show is fun

But in addition to that seriousness and fun that are present, the warmth of the members are also present every time,

And this time in particular, as Yu-chan was also the chairperson, there were many times when her gentle and kind atmosphere flowed, which soothed and warmed my heart

 

And DAY 3 has no streaming,

but it was also our first show following the graduation of Fuyuka-san and Rina-san

On the morning of DAY3,

We weren’t really able to check the changes in third day as a whole, but Marino-san’s “Nando LOVE SONG no Kashi wo Yomikaeshitadarou” was perfect from the rehearsal, it was so great I wondered if she had any sleep

She was already shining since the rehearsal!

She was so cool

The same is true with “Natsu no Chikamichi” and “Anthem time”,

but it always fills my heart to see the ourselves practicing and performing 3rd generation songs with our seniors

 

I remember the day Marino-san and I went home together in the middle of the rehearsal period, and we were talking things like “I can’t believe it’s December soon”, “Time flies by”, and other trivial chit-chat,

how we couldn’t believe that the concert would be over in a week, and how we went home while singing and dancing to Nanrabu together

 

I feel sad that the three-days concert has come to an end, but of course there is also a sense of accomplishment.

 

Especially during the hectic days from ZOZO Marine Stadium to the BACKS LIVE,

there were many occasions where I thought that Yuu-chan is truly “the coolest idol in the world”

I am sure that the same also applies to all of you,

but when you are experiencing many firsts, you might not be able to keep up mentally.

 

Even so the cool Yuu-chan repeatedly said she wanted to do her best, and never complained.

I hope that this period able to convey Yuu-chan’s strength and coolness who didn’t stop with just “That was tough”, and the charms of BACKS members.

(I sure wrote a lot, but the point is ‘Yu-chan, thank you! I love you!’)

 

After it’s all over, I went to Ichiran with Rika Riko Yuu 🍜

A big meal as a little celebration

I was happy to see the joy in everyone’s faces

Let’s go out again

 

 

 

 

🩵 And lastly

In 2024, BACKS held the 7th Single BACKS LIVE in January and since then have had four BACKS LIVE, songs for BACKS also received MV that we previously never had before, holding graduation ceremony, and I was able to experience a lot of valuable experiences.

 

I’d be happy if I could experience new things together with Sakurazaka46 and Buddies in the year 2025 as well!

 

I hope that 2024 has been a year that makes you look forward to the future of Sakurazaka46 as well.

Let’s make 2025 another wonderful year~

 

I wish you all a happy new year!

 

With my beloved Akiho-san 🐶

 

 

🎄 Status update~

The cute sisters who are cooperating in game

We are so bad at games, it was funny how they are not making progress at all~ lol

 

Riko might be the best of us

Let’s play again

 

And,

I appeared in year-end “Sakumimi” with Takemoto-san again on this year!

I appeared with Takemoto-san too at the end of last year, and it made me happy to feel how closer we have become

She made me laugh so much and made me reflect a bit on the amount of laughter recorded in, but that was just how much I had fun

Please do listen to it~ ☃️

(And we’ll be going out for sure!!)
