Blouse with ribbons (Yamakawa Ui) (2025.07.02)

Good evening 🌙

 

I’m Yamakawa Ui, a 19 year old from Miyagi.

 

My second turn of the relay blog! I’ve received the baton from my corn tea friend, Hiiro🌽 lol

 

I feel like I spend the most time with Hiiro among my genmates. Don’t you think we looked close even in the documentary? ☺︎

 

Especially, on the 8th episode when we were doing the MV watch party 🎬
I was almost glued to Hii while watching the MV. Haha

 

Doing activities with Sakurazaka always makes my heart pound, but having Hii by my side makes me feel at ease ☁️

🌸12th Single “Make or Break” Online Meet & Greet

 

Thank you to everyone who came to meet me through the screen!! ✨

 

It was so much fun that it all went by in a flash, and I felt the frustration of still wanting to talk more with you!
Was it fun for you too…? 🥲

 

Even in the limited time we have, I felt really happy to be able to hear your words and see each of your faces!

 

I want to know more about everyone.
Please do tell me ☺︎

 

For everyone who couldn’t talk to me this time, I’ll be looking forward to meeting you in another chance!
Let’s make lots of memories together from now on, alright 💌

 

I talked with Kira-san while getting my makeup done!! ✨
Apparently, she ate her lunch heartily, and so she let me touch her belly 🤭♡

 

I also took a two-shot with Endo Hikari-san after the meet & greet ✨✨
She looked so beautiful wearing her flower-patterned one piece in the photos, which she also posted on her blog and Instagram!!

🌸12th Single “Make or Break”
Was released on June 25th!

 

We the 4th gens participated with our first ever song, “Shindafuri” ✨
I’ll be happy if you could pick up a copy. I hope it will reach a lot of people 💫

 

And the other day, I visited SHIBUYA TSUTAYA-san and signed the panels and posters!

 

I was so happy, it felt like a dream to see us 4th gens on the wonderful panel display（ ; ; ）
Truly, thank you very much 🥲✨

 

 

I was so excited to wear the blouse I just bought that I didn’t realize the tag was still attached,,,

 

I’m sure it was visible from behind me,, so embarrassing,,, 💧
Did anyone notice?

 

This kind of thing will definitely happen again, so to my genmates, please do tell me in secret if you notice… 🤫

 

Lately, when I go clothes shopping, I choose them while thinking about meeting you all 💭

 

Until now, I didn’t have the courage to choose cute things for myself,
But thanks to everyone, I’m gradually adding more cute clothes to my closet and I’m really happy 🌸

 

While I was looking at cute things, I suddenly realized that I like ribbons!

 

The blouse I wore for the personal outfit fashion show on the First Showcase had a light blue color similar to my penlight color with a big ribbon attached,
And even though I’m normally super indecisive, I immediately decided that this is the one ✨

 

You can’t see it on the photo, but the blouse I forgot to take the tag off of also had ribbons you could tie yourself 🥹

 

Also, for the divider separating the sections in my blog, I also put in my beloved ribbon, symbolizing me “tying up” the topic.
Please pay attention to it next time 🎀

 

What kind of outfit will I wear at the next meet & greet~?

 

Please come to see me often.
I’ll be waitingーー

Did you find it?🍀

From here on, I’ll be talking about the First Showcase, which I wasn’t able to write about on my last blog 🥲
It’s going to be long, so I’d appreciate it if you could at least read my message at the end 🌸

 

I hope you’ll read it leisurely when you have the time to ☁️

 

Now that some time has passed since we successfully completed our First Showcase, when I look back on that day, it feels like a dreamlike time that passed by in the blink of an eye.

 

During the rehearsal stage, we were in a space with just the staff and ourselves so we didn’t really get the feeling that we were in a live performance, so strangely, I wasn’t nervous at all.
Still, when the show started and I felt the enthusiasm of Buddies from the wings of the stage, it all suddenly hit home, and I felt like I was being swept up in a wave of emotions all at once.
The moment I stepped on the stage, my cheeks got all stiff and I think I wasn’t able to smile properly.

 

However, as I slowly looked around the venue, taking in the light of the penlights filling my field of view and the warm atmosphere of Buddies, my anxiety and tension suddenly disappeared.

 

From then on, I was able to relax and run through everything at full speed with the support of Buddies!

 

During “Drone Senkaichuu”, which I was appointed as the center of, I tried hyping up the crowd for the first time in my life…! 🫢
When I tried to let out a loud voice, it came out lower than I expected, and I was shocked myself when I watched the clip. Lol
I’ve never really raised my voice, so I was worried about whether I’d be able to handle it, but thanks to everyone’s loud cheers, it turned out to be a great performance! Thank you very much ✨

 

And I was very happy to receive so many compliments on the cheer dancing that I showed off as my special skill 🥲

 

I’ve been extremely nervous to stand up alone on a stage that has been filled by a lot of members up until now.
However, the enthusiasm from Buddies helped to liven things up and erased any worries I had, allowing me to truly enjoy the atmosphere!
I was so happy to be able to create the performance with you all ✨ 
I hope I was able to bring a little smile and energy to everyone! 💭

 

The space filled with the penlight colors of all my beloved genmates was an unforgettable and precious sight, but the venue dyed in the white and pastel blue colors of my penlight was truly beautiful, and I did my best to burn it into my memory in the limited time I had.

 

This combination of colors was also the penlight colors of Sakurazaka46’s first captain, Sugai Yuuka-san.
Since I’m being illuminated by such a special light, I’ll do my utmost best to become a splendid member worthy of these penlight colors!

 

I also forgot to mention this last time,
But thank you very much to everyone who sent me congratulatory flowers!! 😭✨

And, thank you very much to everyone who sent flowers to all the 4th generation members（ ; ; ）

 

Even just you having the thought of sending us flowers already makes me happy, and they were truly wonderful gifts, including the time you spent thinking of what kind of flowers you want to send 🥲🥲

 

I’m gradually realizing that I’m such a lucky person. I will give back all the happiness I received from everyone!

Well then, it’s about time I pass the baton to Momo-chan, who will be in charge tomorrow ✊🏻
Thank you very much for reading 🌸

 

What kind of Momo-chan will we encounter next~?
I’m really looking forward to it! Let’s wait together ☺︎

 

My next blog post will be on Friday, July 11th!
I feel like this blog turned out to be a bit stiff, so I’ll try to write it in a more relaxed manner next time ☁️

 

Please read it at your own pace ☺︎

 

[Text: The days continue to be hot, but are you pushing yourself too hard? Let’s keep ourselves cool and take it easy tomorrow! 🙂]

You’ve done your best today as well 🌙
I hope tomorrow will also be a wonderful day.
