Announcement (2026.09.15)

Good evening

 

 

How are you doing?

 

 

 

I have an announcement

that I would like to make here.

 

 

I will be graduating from Sakurazaka46

with the end of 16th single activities.

 

 

 

 

There was also the graduation announcement

of Captain Matsuda Rina

the other day,

 

And I feel sorry

that our announcements have overlap…

 

 

 

 

 

I passed the audition at 19 years old,

and was assigned to Keyakizaka46 at 20 years old

 

And that same me will also

turn 28 years old this October.

 

 

 

Ever since I joined,

I have shared and thought of many dreams

especially with my genmates

 

 

There are those that came true, there are also those that not.

 

 

 

 

Because we have always supported one another,

and be there for each other

 

We were able to stay positive

and make it this far.

 

 

 

The daily life with the members,

and the moments when we race toward our dreams together,

 

it’s truly, truly been fun!!!!!!! ☺️

I was so happy.

Saying “thank you” is not enough,

but truly, thank you as always. ☺️

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meeting the members,

meeting the Buddies,

who are cheerful, positive, and always makes me smile,

 

I’ve grown to like myself

more than I did in the past. ☺️

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To not have one more thing that I want to do,

and to have no regrets,

when the day eventually comes,

 

I have spent each and every single day

of my idol career with that mindset.

 

 

 

 

To be honest,

there are moments when I feel like giving up

 

but precisely when I think of that,

 

I was determined to enjoy the present

so that even if it all turned out to be my last

I would still spend my time with no regrets

 

I intend to give my all tothis work that is

an “Idol” in my remaining time,

so that I can cherish it much more deeply in the present.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have already

slowly start to experience “the last job” here and there,

and it has started to sink in.

 

 

By announcing it to the Buddies like this,

I think that it will hit me harder at once.

 

 

 

Regarding the time of my graduation,

 

the timing of my final day

as a member of Sakurazaka46

will be announced again at a later date

I’d be happy if you could wait until then.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I won’t ever forget

everything that I have received from Buddies.

 

Truly, thank you very much as always

for the many smiles, courage, and power.

 

 

 

 

I was happy. Even now I feel happy.

 

 

Truly, thank you for meeting me.

 

Truly, thank you

for finding and coming to like me!!!

 

 

I hope I was able to make you all feel happy too.

 

 

 

 

 

I would be very, very happy

if you would continue

to stay connected with Sakurazaka46

through this bond we share.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will continue to give my all

as a member of Sakurazaka46

in the 16th single period.

 

 

So that even more people

may come to know how wonderful Sakurazaka46 is.

 

 

So that it could become a work that may lead to the future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will always, always love

Sakurazaka46 and Buddies~~ ♡

 

 

I will write another blog ☺️

Thank you very much for reading until the end!

 

 

 

See ya!
