Good evening!
Sorry for updating so late at night!
I’m Matsuda Rina aka Matsuri-chan
Sakurazaka46’s 2nd generation member from Miyazaki.
Thank you very much for opening my blog.
Surprisingly…!!
It has been announced that I, Matsuda Rina,
will be releasing 1st photobook
published by Gentosha-san!!
I myself was surprised by it
I’m sure it must be shocking for all of you too
but I think that I was the most shocked by it
If I could ever release a photobook, I’d feel incredibly happy, and I’m sure it’ll lead me to having more confidence~
But surely, that isn’t something likely to happen to me
It was something that I always dreamed of, but I gave up on it as I thought it’s impossible
And then, unexpectedly an offer came from Gentosha-san, and I was so shocked about it
I was so happy that I immediately replied with, “Of course, I’d love to do it!”
But I gradually became worried, and I voiced them out by asking things like, “Will it really be alright for it to be me? Is it really fine?”.
But, everyone in the team gave me so many kind words, and encouraged me!
So I thought, “Everyone are encouraging me so much like this, so I can’t keep worrying without confidence like this!”
“I want to do my best for this team! I want to create this work together with them!”
With that in mind, I was able to resolute myself.
Thanks to the many warm, kind words that I received before, during, and even after the photoshoot,
I was able to face the photoshoot with confidence!
I am truly filled with gratitude to all of the team staff!!
The filming location was in Auckland and Rotorua in New Zealand!
It’s a cozy place, where the people are warm and kind, full of nature, it’s a wonderful place I’ll never forget!
The time I spent in New Zealand was so much fun, that I felt sad at the end of every day…
This photobook is a book that is filled with much love and thoughts!!! こ
So, I would be very happy if all of you who get a copy can love it as well!
I gave it my all!!
Sakurazaka46’s Matsuda Rina 1st Photobook
