Drawn to it again (2026.4.18)

 

5th YEAR ANNIVERSARY LIVE

Thank you so much ⟡.·

 

 

 

To Sakurazaka46 and all Buddies

 

Thank you for meeting me

Happy 5th Birthday!

 

 

Without a hint of lies of exaggeration

the group Sakurazaka46 has been my reason for living.

 

 

I’ve loved the group for so, so long

And even after joining, that feeling hasn’t changed, it only keeps growing to the point where it almost hurts

 

I’ve found the people I want to cherish more than anything, the Buddies and the members

 

 

 

I am truly happy

So happy that it sometimes scares me, and I’ve wondered ‘what if these feelings overflow any more than this?’

 

But rather than fearing the parting that will someday come, I want to enjoy the present

 

 

Regardless I am completely captivated by the present

Thank you for letting me encounter something I can be this devoted to

 

 

Five years of Sakurazaka46

 

I still have so much to learn before I can truly speak on it, but I want to express my deepest gratitude

to the seniors who built this group and to Sakurazaka46 itself.

 

 

I am truly happy to be a member of Sakurazaka46.

 

 

It’s been three years since I joined.

There must have been changes for both me and for you

 

 

And yet thank you for staying by my side without changing and for continuing to love me

 

Recently at Meet and Greets and similar events, I’ve heard people say “It’s been a while!” or “It’s been X years!”

I even spotted people at the National Stadium who I hadn’t seen in a long time

 

Things like that have been happening often lately

And while I can’t put it into words well, it makes me so happy

 

 

Whether it’s you who supports me by my side right now, or you who is now walking a different path in life, you are all precious to me and I will love you forever!

 

 

With you, we can make any dream come true
