Summer is here! (Katsumata Haru) (2025.07.06)

(t/n: I haven’t been translating it since there’s not really a good way to carry it over to English, but since she’s seemed to make it a theme in her blog titles I’ve decided to explain it here: all verbs in Japanese end with a syllable that ends in “u” and the most common ending is “ru.” In each of her blog titles, she inserts “ha” before the “ru” of the last verb in the title to make “haru”)

Summer is here! (Katsumata Haru) (2025.07.06)

 

With July finally starting, summer has officially come~

And with summer comes fireworks!

What kinds of fireworks do you guys like? 🤔

 

The fleeting bloom of a fireworks display in the open sky has its charms, but the soft light of a sparkler flickering near you has an unforgettable warmth to it, you know?

 

I may not have the flair of a fireworks display myself either, but just like a sparkler, I want to be someone that gently stays close by your side, lighting up the path before you. 

 

 

 

 

 

    Uchimata, Sotomata, Katsumata                  (t/n: Toes inward, toes outward, Katsumata, from her intro on Sokosaku)

 

                                          I want to become your legs.

 

 

 

Thank you for opening Katsumata Haru’s 3rd blog

 

👣・👣・👣・👣・👣・👣・👣・👣・👣

 

 

Anyway, today will be the

 

・”Soko magattara, Sakurazaka?” 4th gen debut!
・Haru (Age 5)
・Thank you for our online meet & greet

edition!

 

 

 

 

__Have you all watched it?__

 

6/29 (Sunday) 24:50-
Soko magattara, Sakurazaka?
An Exciting First Appearance! Welcome, Sakurazaka46’s 4th Generation! (First half)

 

 

The 4 of us that were introduced this time were Konomin, Hina, myself, and Neo-tsun!

Even though Konomin was up first, she came out very confident and reliable.
It’s amazing how Hina-san is so versatile 😳 yuyuyuyuyu
The imbalance of Neo-tsun saying Picasso’s real name in such a clear, proper voice hit me so good😂

 

 

For my introduction,
I used the “precisely measuring weight” skill that I learned 
through my part-time job I had at the butchery that specialized in chicken

The plan was for me to weigh out 300g of beef

 

 

uhhhhhhh..

 

 

Well, chicken is my specialty, so it’s only natural that a different kind of meat would prove difficult🧐

 

But the day before the recording,
When I practiced at home, I got it right

 

I bought what I determined to be 300g of 🍠            (t/n: sweet potato)
and when I checked my own weight on a scale

【🍠+🙍‍♀️(Me) 】 − 【🙍‍♀️(Me)】 =
                                     it was 300g for real!!!!

 

 

Since I was able to do it then, I’d really like to take the challenge again🙇‍♀️

 

 

And so today, 7/6 (Sunday), starting at 24:50
The 2nd half will finally air
Chii, Wakochi, Hiiro, Ui, and Momo-chan
their introductions will be on the show!

I was sitting in the stands the whole time, but watching each of their personalities coming out was so funny, I was laughing the entire time, from start to finish
Please be sure to watch! I’m really excited myself🙌

Since this is a good opportunity for it, let me talk a little bit about my childhood self

 

Childhood dream: Comedian

Around the time I was in nursery school, I really liked imitating the funny faces Korokke-san would make, and because of that there was a period of time that I really yearned to be a comedian myself.

And actually, I’ve been told that during my kindergarten graduation ceremony, at the part where we say what our future dream is, I shouted “Comedian!”loud and clear lol

 

What I like: Other than Bam and Kero… 
I want to find things in common with all of you! So I’ve listed all the things I’ve liked since I was little✏️

 

・Bam and Kero
            “Bam and Kero’s Frosty Morning” is one I really like in particular
・Ojamajo Doremi             (t/n: Magical girl anime, romanized as Magical DoReMi in the west)
            Doremi and Kotake are my ship
・Werewolf Game
            I like the Psycho role in particular            (t/n: In this role, you’re technically a villager and the Seer will even reveal you as one,
            I do like playing as well,                              but you’re meant to actually help the werewolves (without knowing who they are))
            but what I really love is watching 1+ hour long streams of pros playing it
・ZARD-san           (t/n: Japanese pop band from the 90s)
            “Natsu wo Matsu Sail no you ni” and “Eien”

 

 

How’s that?
From now on, I want you all to tell me about the things you like as well🙌

 

 

 

__Online Meet & Greet__

Our first online meet & greet was on 6/29 (Sunday), thank you so much🙇‍♀️

People told me their impressions of the First Showcase,
we talked about our shared interests,
and sang songs together

I was so sad once it had to come to an end
My time with each and every one of you was so much fun and made me so happy

 

Next time will be on 7/12 (Saturday)

I’m so excited to be able to talk to you all, both the people I’m meeting for the first time, as well as those of you I’m seeing for the 2nd time!!!!

 

Oh, I wanna do Sessan as well
Anyone wanna take me on??

I ain’t losin’!!!🔥💪

 

 

 

 

__Tomorrow’s relay blog will be…

The girl who mistook the name of the variety show
“Kiseki taiken! Unbelievable” for
“Unbuhreivable”       (t/n: the proper katakana spelling is “anbiribabou” but Neo thought it was “anberibabou”)

 

                             Neo-tsun🤯

 

I’m sure her blog will be unbuhreivable!👋

↑ This is from the time I was supposed to watch the Doraemon movie with Hina and Chii, but I messed up the date and time so we had to quickly pivot to seeing a horror movie instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was so scaryyyy aaaaaaaaaa😱

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My next blog will be on 7/15 (Tuesday)

Good job on the work you do every day.
Let’s do our best again next week, but keep it within a reasonable limit!

 

Thank you for reading until the end
Bye-bye~💫🙌
