Excited and thrilled (2023.03.18)

Recently, pollen has been alive and well
I’ve been taking damage…

 

 

 

 

 

 

For those who can’t be friends with pollen
try drinking medicine
and let’s get along somehow!
I’ll do my best too while sniffling☺

 

 

 

₍ᐢ‥ᐢ₎ ♡

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much for opening my blog.

 

 

The second round of the 3rd gen blog relay has come!

 

 

I wonder if there are people who have been waiting for 10 days…
I wonder if there are people who have been looking forward to it…
If there are, I’m really glad…♡
Thank you very much ☺️

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today

 

 

It’s Ishimori Rika. ☺

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Messy hair

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve been looking forward to reading everyone’s blogs every day as wellー！
Everyone’s personalities show and it’s fun to read♩
I hope you all continue to look forward to it
₍ᐢ‥ᐢ₎ ♡

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was really worried
about what I should write today…

 

 

 

 

 

Let me tell you why I applied!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I first encountered the group 7 years ago

 

 

 

When I was in junior high, I would always go to bed early

 

Everyday I would sleep around 9pm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But there was one night when I couldn’t sleep for some reason,
I woke up in the middle of the night and went to the living room

 

 

My mom and older sister go to bed late, so they were both awake…
They happened to be watching a program called

 

“Keyakitte, Kakenai?”

 

 

 

At that time, I didn’t know that they were a sister group of Nogizaka46

 

I talked with my mom and sister while watching the show
I wondered if these girls were idols
But I found myself recording the show every week

 

 

Now that I think about it, I wonder if it was fate that I decided to record every week at that time… ( ˶˙ᵕ˙˶ )

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that
I saw their debut of Silent Majority

 

I’ve loved the group ever since

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The current group, now called “Sakurazaka46”
is no different,
I love them.

 

 

 

 

For some reason, I’m drawn to them.

 

 

 

Instinctively

 

 

 

I just came to

 

loveー!!!

 

them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love them and I won’t stop loving themー!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always thought that there was no way I could become an idol or anything
It wasn’t even an option

 

 

That’s why I didn’t even apply
But this time,
It was really my last chance.
I figured I’d just apply even if I didn’t have any chance of passing.

 

When my name was called at the final screening
My head went blank
From that moment on, every day I wondered if it was a dream.

 

When I passed the 4th screening
I cried the most!
I was so happy that I could go all the way to the final screening. ₍ᐢ‥ᐢ₎

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It still feels like a dream to be able to join as a 3rd gen 💭

 

 

When I meet the seniors, I couldn’t help but wonder if it’s real or not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little by little, I’ve come to experience all kinds of new things,

 

 

 

And,
I am really, really happy
to have met all the Buddies…♡

 

I’m so happy!

 

 

Without all of you who support us,
we can’t do anything.
We are what we are because of you.

 

 

 

 

 

I received fan letters!
This is the first time in my life that I received fan letters.
I cried when I read them.

 

 

 

I received so much love from all of youー!!♡
Thank you so much ( ˶˙ᵕ˙˶ )

 

 

 

 

 

The day of Natsu no Chikamichi MV filming📸

 

 

 

 

 

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

 

 

 

 

 

It’s also written in Yuu-chan’s (Murai Yu) blog but
along with Riko-chan (Endo Riko)
we sang “Natsu no Chikamichi” at karaoke🎤

 

 

 

 

 

Do you like singing〜?

 

I like singing a lot!

 

 

I also like karaoke,
I often sing aiko-san’s and Sheena Ringo-san’s songs!
I sing at least 3 songs each 🎤

 

I often sing
aiko-san’s “Boyfriend”
and Sheena Ringo’s “Koko de Kisushite” ☺

 

 

I also like songs from the 80’s and 90’s
“DIAMONDS” by PRINCESS PRINCESS-san
“Maji De Koi Suru 5byoumae” by Hirosue Ryoko-san
are songs I also often sing ₍ᐢ‥ᐢ₎

 

 

 

During the audition,
For third screening, I sang “Friends” by REBECCA-san
And for the final screening, I sang “Hanabi” by aiko-san!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The melody, lyrics, and the way of singing can shake your heart to the core
Songs
are really amazing, aren’t they? (  ⦿‎⦿  )

 

 

They must have power 〜

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please let me know your favorite song next time ☺
I’d love to talk about your favorite Sakurazaka46 songs too 〜〜

 

 

 

 

I love “Seifuku no Ningyou”,
It’s my dream to perform it someday… ₍ᐢ‥ᐢ₎ ♡

Today was the first meet and greet we’ve had in a while!

 

 

It was our first meet and greet after the Omotenashikai so
it’s been a while

 

I was so excited and thrilled…

 

Today I wore the apron I wore for the 2 minute show at the Omotenashikai ☺
I forgot to take a selfie, so I’ll take one next time ( ¨̮ )

 

 

 

 

I got to talk to you all againー!!
I’m so gladー!!
I had so much funー!!
I’m so happyー!!

 

I’ve been looking forward to it for a long timeー!!

 

I was so happy to hear so many comments about the Omotenashikai ( ;  ; )
Thank you for giving me so much healing, happiness, and power☺
I’d be glad to be able to give that to you all as well…

 

 

I can’t believe I get to talk to you all again tomorrow (ToT)♡

 

 

 

There are still days available for meet and greets so let’s have fun together ( ˶˙ᵕ˙˶ )

 

 

 

Straight hair…! It’s quite rare.
I’ll be posting more about my hairstyles on my blog ₍ᐢ‥ᐢ₎ ♡

Tomorrow is Riko-chan’s 2nd blog!
I often just stand around and talk with Riko-chan on the way home, but I quite like that time ♩
Oh, and Riko-chan’s singing voice at karaoke was so cute…♡
