Recently, I was watching a video of capybaras jumping on trampolines and thinking, “So cute!”, and then Inaguma told me “That’s an AI video, you know” it made me speechless
AI can do anything huh~ scary! 🏊♂️
But it’s so cute I can’t help but watch it!
Thank you for opening my blog again today! I’m happy we could meet ( . .)”
I’m Chihiro Nakagawa, 17 years old, from Nagasaki Prefecture!
Today I also received the baton from Neo~ ♡
Lately, Neo really cracks me up 😹 I hope more people can get to know just how funny that girl is!
𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃
Today’s blog is about sharing some happy news & answering lots of questions that I received 🍀
First, here’s a photo from the anan magazine shoot!
I was so nervous with the wonderful styling… ♡
The ribbon hairpin was super cute♩
⟡.·
All of 4th generation members were featured together in anan issue 2459 released on August 20th!
I’m really happy that we were able to appear in an issue where our seniors are on the cover ✨️
And then there’s also Asai’s solo gravure! She was so cool that I completely fell for her ՞ ܸ. .ܸ՞
Please tell me lots of your thoughts!
And there are still more announcements today!
- non-no October issue
I was featured in the non-no October issue, which was released on the 20th! I never imagined I would receive a media award from non-no, a magazine I’ve always admired, so I’m really really happy ( ; ; )
I was nervous on my first solo job, but I’d be so happy if you checked it out ♡
Torikichi is also featured in the magazine, so Torikichi fans please take a look too 🐤
I was surprised because it didn’t feel like me!
This dress was so refreshing and beautiful~
- Up To Boy October issue
I was featured in the Up To Boy October issue that was released today! Actually, Up To Boy is a magazine I had bought several times even before joining, and I admired its clear, transparent atmosphere which I really loved✨️ I feel so happy to be chosen for a media award by Up To Boy 🍀
↓ This sofa was super fluffy ( ᷇ ᵕ ᷆ )
The photo chosen for the back cover, it’s my favorite because the natural light looks so beautiful~
Please check it out 🤝🏻
- B.L.T. SUMMER CANDY 2025
I’ll be featured in B.L.T. SUMMER CANDY 2025, which comes out on Friday, August 29! I got to do a photoshoot in a school uniform in all kinds of situations!
I was able to enjoy lots of summery things 🍉
Since I’m now a third-year high school student, please take a look at these valuable uniform shots
My fellow 4th gen member Yamada Momomi will also be featured!
I loved the preview cut of Momo-chan that was released the other day so much it almost hurt, I was so shocked, like, “Momo-chan can really make such a delicate, fleeting expression…!”
I’ll share some behind-the-scenes shots in my next blog, okay 🌱✨️
I’m so happy that so many of you are reporting to me like, “I ordered it!” and “I’ll check it out!”
I’ll work hard so I can be invited again!
Even though I’m a high school student, I was feeling a little sad that I hardly ever get the chance to wear a uniform, but surprisingly I’ve had quite a few opportunities lately, and that makes me really happy~ ☺️

[Full Power Mode] Q&A Corner Part 2
This time, I tried answering a lot of questions!
(Photo requests will be for another time 🙇🏻♀️)
Q: During the in-person meet and greet, did you buy any souvenirs in Kyoto?
→ I bought chirimen sansho (tiny dried sardines with Japanese pepper)~!
By the way, I haven’t eaten it yet 🐤
Q: Have you ever been to Osaka?
→ Just once!
From tomorrow I’ll be in Osaka… I’m excited!
Q: What Osaka food do you want to eat?
→ First, takoyaki. And then I looked up what other Osaka foods there are, and found “negiyaki” (a type of savory green-onion pancake) 🌿
Q: Have you watched any movies recently?
→ “Aru Otoko” (A Man), it was interesting!
My taste in movies often matches with Momo-chan~
Q: How old is Torikichi?
→ He’s 3 years old, and would be 33 years old in human years
Is anyone of the same age?
Q: What nicknames have you been called so far?
→ The nickname I was happy to be called was “Nakagawanwan”*
But it was too long, so it never really stuck 🐶
[T/N: “Wan wan” as in “Woof, woof”]
Q: Who’s your favorite character in Shaun the Sheep?
→ Shaun is my favorite. Next would be Timmy’s mom, and Lula who appeared in the movie!
Q: What do you like about Nagasaki?
→ The night view is beautiful 🏙
The observation deck on Mt. Inasayama, which I visited when filming the vlog, is sparkling and gorgeous at night, you know~
Q: Which are you more confident in, sports or academics?
→ Hmm, honestly I don’t have confidence in either…
But, I do have the desire to try my best!
Especially, if I could take 1st place in a physical fitness test by beating Yamada Momomi who’s a track & field athlete, that would be so cool, right?
Should I start training from now?
Q: Did you do anything summery?
→ I went to eat shaved ice with Rika-san 🍧
It was such a happy time…!
Q: What’s your favorite shaved ice flavor?
→ Lemon! But I probably like all shaved ices that have lots of fruit on them
Q: What’s your MBTI?
→ I just tried it and I got ISFP 🧚♂️
Apparently, it’s the type that loves freedom, it’s probably right
Q: What songs do you sing when you go to karaoke alone?
→ I feel like I sing Seiko Matsuda-san’s “Akai Sweet Pea” almost every time! And I think I also often sing songs by Koresawa-san~
Q: Are you good with spicy food?
→ I love putting lots of mustard on oden and eating it! But, how should I put it, I might not be so good with “hot” kinds of spiciness…!
Q: Have you gotten used to life in Tokyo?
→ Yes!! But I still occasionally get lost, so I rely on all the 4th gen members 🤝🏻
That’s all for this time!
I tried answering questions I got through meet & greets and letters, thank you so much for sending so many 🧸💌
Thank you so much for last week’s online meet & greet! Now that all the individual meet and greets for the 12th single have finished, I feel a bit lonely 🥲
During this time, I got to talk with so many people and it was really fun ☺︎
I’m not very good at talking, so I was often really anxious, but at recent meet and greet, I often felt like, “Right now I’m really able to talk as my true self,” and that’s all thanks to you all! But I want to get to know all of you even more, and and I want you to know more about me too ( . .)”
There were so many first-time meetings, it made my heart race…! 🫢 Since I’m shy, I was worried about whether I could talk with someone I was meeting for the first time, but because everyone shared so much love with me, I was just so, so happy 💭 I feel like I’ve overcome my shyness!
Until the next time I get the chance to talk with you all
I’ll keep polishing my conversation skills, so please wait for me!
On September 7th, there’ll be a pair-lane meet and greet
And also my first online signing event!
It’s still early, but I’ve already decided what I’m going to wear ( ¯꒳¯)⟡
I’m looking forward to it!
𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃
Finally, tomorrow is the “5th TOUR 2025 ‘Addiction’” Kyocera Dome concert!!
Once again, we 4th gens, who only recently joined, without forgetting to be grateful to be able to stand on such a huge stage as Kyocera Dome, will aim to deliver a performance that will make all the Buddies think, “I’m glad the 4th generation joined.”
Without losing to my past self, I’ll stand on stage with confidence tomorrow, showing a version of myself that has grown and leveled up
And on August 24th, there will be a live stream of the concert
I’d be so happy if many people could watch Sakurazaka46’s performance 🌸
Tomorrow is Wakochi!
There’s a restaurant in Wakochi-boshi (Chiba) that I want to try, so I’m thinking I’d like to go there with Wako sometime!
Looking forward to the blog!
And let’s have fun together tomorrow ( . .)”
I’m heading to Osaka~ 🐙
I’ll post my favorite selfie☺︎
This time ended up really long
I’d be happy if you could take your time reading it when you have a moment, like before tomorrow’s live!
( . .)” ← This is my recent favorite emoji
See you again
