As I was being selfish
many memories flooded over me
That’s why it’s difficult to choose one
And while I could pick the words to say
but the truth is that I can’t seem to get it out
For about 7 years
you warmly held everyone’s hands
at any time, be it happy or painful moments
A gentle heart that tightly hugs one with your whole body
How you have always unchangingly given your all at everything since the beginning
How there is an energy in your every word
it has saved me numerous times.
You have always given your all to protect the group
I can’t thank you enough
As genmates, we have grown into adults together, haven’t we?
Now, even the trivial chat we had on our way home
has become an irreplaceable treasure for the two of us
And the reason I could trust myself
and stand back up
was because of Yuuka’s important words
To be honest,
we just parted so… I miss you.
But graduation is a new start,
so I’d like to continue to protect
the “precious things”
that Sakurazaka46’s Sugai Yuuka has left in the group.
You are not Japchae the vegetable dish
but you were a great captain
Truly, thank you very much for your hard work of 7 years and ~2 months
I love Yuuka, who continues to remain in everyone’s hearts
I hope that you may have wonderful days ahead ♡
Truly, thank you very much
to everyone who came to the venue,
to everyone who has watched the stream,
of 2nd TOUR 2022 “As you know?”
Two years have passed since we changed our name to Sakurazaka46,
and as the 3rd generation members
are about to join us,
I feel that we are about to start anew again.
I hope that you can look forward
the story of the group from now on.
♡
