Good evening
Thank you very much for opening my blog
From Okayama 🍑 2nd year high school student, 17 years old
I’m Yamada Momomi
I received the baton from Ui-tan~
During the Kyocera Dome performances, we shared a hotel room, and even after we turned off the lights to sleep we continued to talk about trivial things
I was happy to discover a side of Ui-tan I never knew before ✨

First of all, the final performance of “5th TOUR 2025 “Addiction””
was held the other day
Truly, thank you very much!
The 4th generation members participated in 5 out of the 11 performances, starting from the Tokyo Dome concert
The 4th generation are only participating from the Tokyo Dome concert , which was held about a month ago, but it has been a very valuable period for me
After seeing their Aichi performance in late April, until the time it was announced at the First Showcase that we will be participating in the Dome performances, I never thought that I’d be standing on those stages
To be honest, I felt a big pressure from suddenly being made to stand on such huge stages
I was feeling a bit sorry, wondering if it is really okay for us who just joined for a few months to stand on these stages
However, this valuable opportunity to perform is not something that should be taken for granted, and so I decided to give everything that I can at the moment and go all out
I feel that I have definitely improved after finishing these five performances
I think I have also grown as a person, gaining the ability to analyze footages of me and thinking of things like, “So this is how I looked this time, let’s do it more like this next time”
Thanks to that, I’ve become able to try many different things, and I enjoyed it *:.｡.
We were able to perform “I want tomorrow to come” with the seniors
I think that this experience was very valuable and inspiring for us right now
In the future, it might be normal to us to perform with our seniors, but I’d like to create something wonderful while not forgetting my beginner’s mindset and build on my own experience
This period felt long as it is short, and it has been an intense one!
At first I felt restless, as it was the first time I saw the backs of my seniors from up-close, but I was able to absorb a lot of things
I will continue to work hard so that we can once again see those large venues in full bloom, covered in Sakura Pink just like a cherry blossom tree!
Thank you very much
🌸

From here on, please allow me to talk a bit about the Kyocera Dome performance in Osaka
Actually, this is the second time I’ve been to Osaka, and the commemorative first one was for Sakurazaka46’s audition
I applied for the 1st round of audition just about one year ago,
And the third round was held in Osaka
And to think that my second time going there would be for a Dome performance,
I don’t think I could’ve imagined it back then 💭
When I think about it carefully, I never thought that my life will change so much in just one year
A year of time is really amazing
At the time of the audition, I immediately returned to Okayama on a day trip and couldn’t enjoy Osaka
But this time I was able to enjoy takoyaki, ramen, and 551’s pork buns 😋
I guess in a way, it was my revenge
Wish I had taken pictures of them!!
Well, I guess I will just keep it in my memory
Also, I took a two-shot with Matono-san!
I already succeeded in inviting her to take a picture with me in real meet & greet event the other day, but as I mentioned in my previous blog, I made the promise to take pictures with seniors at the Kyocera Dome performance so I tried asking her again!!
[T/N: This blog post]
She kindly gave me the OK and I was able to take pictures with her 📷´-
After that, there was a time where we happened to be two of the few people in the dressing room, and I was alone with no other 4th generation present, and she invited me to get food with her, which made me really happy ·͜·ᰔ
Truly, thank you very much ෆ.*･ﾟ
After the end of Day 1 📷´-
Also, following the Tokyo Dome performance, I also talked in the MC session on Day 1 of the Kyocera Dome performance in Osaka 🗣️
Of course, I was feeling really nervous about speaking in front of tens of thousands of Buddies
My mind became blank!!
I want to improve my vocabulary so that I can speak smoothly like my seniors and be of help during MC sessions✊🏻 ̖́-
And for all five performances, I was given the position of being the last to bow before leaving the stage!
At the end of every performance, I always look around the entire venue, and no matter how many times I saw it, I always feel moved to see the scenery filled with Sakura Pink
I always burn it into my memories
It was truly wonderful 🌸💓
I’d like to see it again
4th generation
The way we appeared was so cool, wasn’t it?
Everyone is so funny and rich with individuality, so we never run out of things to talk about in the dressing room
Being rich with individuality is a good strength, isn’t it?
Each person has their own color
Please take care of us from now on as well ¨̮
There are things that I’d still like to write about, but I’d also like to keep them locked in my heart
If I ever feel like writing them again, I might write things like, “So actually this and that also happened”´-
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ー
Starting from today, the nine 4th generation members will be doing a relay of solo YouTube live streams on Sakurazaka Channel 4️⃣🌸
The first one up is Nakagawa!
Let’s watch Chii’s stream together~
The second person onwards will be revealed during the stream!
Please look forward to it
That’s all for today
Tomorrow is Konomin’s turn~
She’s swimming while wearing the octopus headgear
I took this picture while retorting her,
“That’s not how an octopus swims!”
Of course, she’s cute so I forgive her 🐙
Thank you very much for reading
My next one will be posted on 4th September! It’s already going to be September, huh… so fast!
Please come again~
Bye bye
P.S. 🐙🍑📷
