2nd Photobook (2024.08.19)

Good evening

 

This is my first time updating my blog

this late at night,

right at the moment the date changes

 

My heart is beating so fast…!

 

 

 

It might be a bit long,

but I’d be happy if you could give it a read

 

 

 

A happy announcement!

 

 

 

In this occasion,

I’d like to announce my 2nd Photobook

from VOCE,

in which I have become a regular model since September 2023!

 

 

Yayyyyy~~~~~~

 

 

2nd Photobook…

 

I wonder if that surprised you!!

I’m sure it did, isn’t it!! lol

 

 

 

 

Thinking back,

I think my first photobook

was also announced around this time three years ago

 

 

 

When I look back to that time

 

My personality was one where I wasn’t good at

trying out something new or give something a challenge,

 

but thankfully,

I had many opportunities to experience such things

during that time,

 

 

 

 

I spent my days filled with a lot of big emotions－

Worries, nervousness, and a tiny bit of expectation

Whatever I do,

I feel like I had to appear

a looooooootttt more better

than I can possibly be,

 

I remember just how desperate I was every day. 😌

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to change something within myself,
to become a better version of me

 

I faced every new challenge head-on

 

 

It was such a time 😌

 

 

 

 

 

1st Photobook “Ippo-me”

not only captures my appearance

but also reflects the inner side of me,

which I now realize was still quite immature

 

 

Even now I could feel

how apparent it was from pictures,

 

 

But that was very much who I was in that moment,

something that can only captured then,

 

I truly believe that those moments

led to where I am today

 

Since its release,

my attachment to it has only grown,

adding more layers making it a very special book to me

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never thought

that my 2nd photobook will be announced here

three years later,

 

I’m still surprised about it even now,

and if I were to told myself three years ago about this

I don’t think she would have believed me 😳 lol

 

 

 

 

 

The 2nd photobook

has become a book that shows who I am in the present as well.

 

It’s a book that embodies not just the simple idea of

“growing up”

but it’s a newly important book created with everything I have learned, received, and given

in these past three years,

or to be more specific, even from before I entered the group.

 

 

 

The photoshoot took place in

Santa Fe, United States

 

 

It was truly, truly a beautiful place.

 

 

The city and nature of Santa Fe

were a perfect fit for this photobook,

 

It was this location

that made it so special.

 

 

 

For those who have seen my 1st photobook,

and those who have been supporting me for a long time,

I’d be happy if it makes you feel fondly about the time that has passed and the memories that exist within it

For those who have recently gotten to know me,

I’d be happy if it could help you to learn more about me, and discover new sides of me

And to those who have not yet had the chance to meet me,

I’d be happy if this photobook could pique your interest in Sakurazaka46 and show that there are members like me in the group.

 

 

 

I want to experience, learn, and absorb many things

as I continue my idol life

and my activities as Sakurazaka46 member

 

I’d like to walk together with members and Buddies

while smiling, having fun, and making my dreams come true

so much so that one day, when I look back to this photobook again,

I’ll be able to say, “I sure was still such a child back then 😏”.

 

 

 

 

 

The release date is in 22nd October

 

Though this is something personal,

but it’s a day after my birthday 😳🎂

 

Yayyyy~~~ So happy~~~~

 

 

 

I hope I can deliver this with my heartfelt gratitude
