Do you know how many times
I’ve met you all through my blog with today’s entry?
Apparently this is already the 10th time!!🎉
I realized this after looking at Konomin’s blog the other day, just like Hina did
It really did just fly by though😲😲
It feels like my first blog was just yesterday,
but if we count by days, it’s been about 3 months since the 4th gen relay blog started
I hope the 9 of us have slowly started to reveal our individual personalities to you all🙌
Thank you for continuing to read Katsumata Haru’s blog though to this momentous 10th entry!!

__Summer Memories
I think today, I’ll talk about some of my personal summer memories.
First of all, like Momo-chan, I went back to Kyoto to visit home~
Now that I’ve been away from Kyoto for a little while, I’ve come to miss everything about the town and culture more than when I lived there..
So with me going home, I decided to go out to eat with a friend of mine. When they asked me what I wanted to eat, I told them I wanted to eat “something that would make me feel like I’m in Kyoto!” which was a pretty difficult request.
Plus, this girl only came to Kyoto for university,,
so maybe that’s not something I should be saying, who have lived in Kyoto for about 12 years💦
But she found us an amazing obanzai shop and it was super delicious.
(t/n: obanzai is a Kyoto speciality which is comprised of an assortment of small side dishes which can change depending on the season)
This girl is always keeping up to date with my idol activities,
and she told me
“From the screen, you seem like such a older sister type now. You used to be so much more carefree!”
😲
I wonder if that’s true~
Because I also met up with another friend while I was visiting home, and she said “You haven’t really changed at all.”
It felt kind of refreshing to hear for the first time how people’s impression of me has changed between before and after I joined the group. I also found it very interesting that different friends had different ways in which they felt about it🌿
Either way,
I’m very grateful that I have friends that will come hang out with me like this just like before I joined.
🍵🍘⛩️🍡
For our summer in Tokyo, the 4th gens often went out to eat acai bowls together!🫐
I’m not what I’d call a very proactive person, but it’s a totally different story when it comes to acai bowls, you can be sure I’ll always show up.
I made a promise to go with Ui next time since she likes acai bowls just as much as I do~

This is Ui on the day I was in a pair lane with her for online meet & greet!
We didn’t discuss it beforehand, but we ended up matching by both wearing something that has ribbons on the shoulders!
It made me happy🎀
Whenever I get to talk to you all
thanks to you, each and every time I can just be myself and have fun♡
I’m really happy we could talk again for the online signing event✨
On a sad note, today’s event is the last time I’ll get to talk to you during our 12th single activities🥲
Thank you all again for supporting me and coming to meet me!

I’ll continue to work hard throughout the 13th single as well so that you’ll want to meet me🌸
Also,
I had so much fun that I deluded myself into thinking we were just hanging out in our personal time (in a good sense)…
Fuji-Q Highland!🎢
You’ve all been waiting for this, right!?
Today, Sunday 9/7, after midnight at 24:50
Soko magattara, Sakurazaka?

__Q&A Corner
Like I mentioned earlier, when I was visiting home, hearing the different ways my friends see me made me wonder,
“Well I wonder how everyone else sees me then🧐 It must depend on the person, right~?”
So with that…
Opening of my very first Q&A Corner🎉
I’m thinking of answering some questions that I’ve gotten in letters you’ve sent me.
“This is exactly how I imagined it was!”
“Eh, that’s unexpected!”
I hope you can have these kinds of reactions as you learn more about me than you knew before☺︎
Q.1 If you had to pick among all of Sakurazaka46’s songs, which would you want to perform the most?
Every song is so wonderful that I can’t decide, so let me choose 2 please🖐️
「Sukimakazeyo」
「Ikutsu no koro ni modoritai no ka?」
I’d really like to perform these if I ever get the opportunity.
Q.2 Are you an indoor person or outdoor person? Morning person or night person?
I’m an indoor, early bird person.
On days that I don’t have work, I usually take it easy at home without going out at all. Generally, I go to bed at midnight and wake up at 7am✨
I like waking up early and enjoying a cafe au lait in the morning.
(Coffee is too bitter so I usually can’t drink it)
Q.3 Has anything shocking happened to you recently?
I bought boiled eggs at a convenience store, but when I left I only took my change and forgot the item at the register.
But then the person working the register stopped me and said
“Ma’am, you forgot your things!” …
Ma’am..
That’s all for now! How was it, did you see an unexpected side of me?🤔
And of course, thank you for sending me questions in your letters.
Your letters truly encourage me in my activities, and I’m always happy to learn more about all of you too. I always enjoy them so much and read them as soon as I get my hands on them😙💌
Lastly.
Q.4 Is from me → to you
I have one question, or should I say a quiz!
You WERE paying attention, right?Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)
Tada~

\Who do you think wrote each of these cards!!/
[T/N (Top left to right): “Love Wako”, “Dog”, “Powerful!!”, “Dinner”, “Leaf”, “Nandeyanen~“, “Planet Wakochi”, “It’s only just getting started~”]
I used these for the NG word game I played for my turn on the Solo YouTube Stream Relay, which I had each of the 4th gens think up beforehand.
They’re all quite unique, right?😲
I’ve already mentioned some of the answers in the video, but can you get all of them right~?
For those of you who amazingly managed to get everything correct
I present to you the title of “4th gen Master” (unofficial)🎊
__Tomorrow’s blog
Neo!
I love Neo’s voice, so whenever she calls me by Haru-san⤴︎, it brings peace to my heart💝
I want to make it into the sound for my alarm clock, but hearing it feels so good I think it’d just make me oversleep instead😴
And so, well done on finishing off another week everybody!
Let’s keep it going after tomorrow too~🔥
See yaa!
