A Secret Just Between Us (2026.05.07)

Good evening 🌙

I’m Katsumata Haru, Sakurazaka46’s 4th generation member.

 

Thank you so much for coming to miiguri!

 

It had been a few months since the last one, and this time I also got to take part in the fourth blocks and autograph session for the very first time, so I honestly had such a lovely time that I’m still absolutely buzzing.

 

This was in Makuhari 🧶

 

There are so many things I can only say to you,

so many feelings, thoughts, and moments that only the two of us can share.

 

Whenever we meet, I can’t help but smile!

 

I absolutely love this time we get to talk, listen and get to know each other a bit better. 

 

Which is exactly why,

once it’s all over,

I end up feeling a little lonely, too.

 

I wonder if you feel the same way?

 

I’ll do my best until the day we can meet again! 

For the second half, I even wore a headband!!

 

And in Kyoto,

since it’s my hometown,

I tried wearing something in a slightly unusual shade, red? Burgundy, maybe?~

 

It was quite a striking colour, so while walking around, I actually kept covering it with a jacket because I felt a bit shy about it,

 

But I was absolutely so happy to receive so many compliments! ❤️

 

Thank you for saying I looked more grown-up 🫣

 

And thank you as well for all the flower stands! 💐

The flowers I received in Makuhari,

and the flowers I received in Kyoto

I could really feel the thought and care you put into every single one, and my heart is just brimming with happiness  ☺

 

Also!!!

There was something during these two days of miiguri that made me especially happy for the first time.

 

During the autograph sessions, I happened to notice people queuing in my lane chatting a little with the person in front of or behind them!

 

Seeing convo naturally spring up between people all enjoying the same moment somehow made me really happy ☺

 

I’d be happy if , the connections and circles between people expand even just a little bit with me as the starting point  💭

 

And if everyone can enjoy it together, I’d be so delighted  🙌

 

Finally, about last night’s “Cream Quiz Miracle 9” and this morning’s “Love It!”… 

 

Thanks to everyone who tuned in, and to those who had plans but were rooting for me in spirit! 

 

This was my second appearance on “Cream Quiz Miracle 9”, so I was over the moon to be invited back! I really want to win next time around!!! 🔥

 

As for “Love It!”, during my entrance, I tried to do my “Uchimata, Sotomata, Katsumata (Toes inward, toes outward, Katsumata)” routine, but my legs weren’t in shot at all, so I just ended up looking like someone doing a mysterious little sideways shuffle… 

 

Let’s keep that as our little secret, right?
