Inoue Blog (2025.12.31)

Good evening.

I’m Sakurazaka46’s Inoue Rina.

 

 

Buddies Kanshasai 2025 EX
Inoue Rina Graduation Ceremony

Thank you very much.

 

I truly, truly had fun.

 

On the first day, I had a blast with everyone! 

On the second day, there was the public session of Kochi Hoshi!
To think that I’d be able to do it at the end! I was so happy!

I was able to read messages from members, goes wild with my delusions, I had lots of fun! 

 

 

And then, my graduation ceremony

 

It is filled with everything that I wanted to do!

 

I am filled with much gratitude for making many of my wishes come true, and for holding such a wonderful graduation ceremony! 

 

“Samidare yo”

My beloved song.
I especially love “Samidare yo” when performed in concerts.
It feels like a story that is sad yet filled with love unfolds, and the love that Sakurazaka has spread out and wrapped the entire venue.

I performed that beloved song of mine with everyone. 

The interlude has a different version than usual, as I asked to be able to dance together with everyone, and they created a wonderful interlude dance for me!

I was so happy to be able to see everyone in the eyes lots.

 

“ULTRAVIOLET”

It’s a very refreshing and dazzling song!
The first time I heard this song, I came to really love it, and when recording with the other members I kept talking about how good the song is!

I requested to be able to dance the interlude as InoChuke, and they made it for us! 

I was happy when everyone mentioned “It’s their era…” at the end. 

I especially love the part where we held each other hands, it went perfectly! 

 

“Isabelle ni Tsuite”

We reaaaaallly nailed it at the end, didn’t we!

When I mentioned during the meeting that I’d like to do a comedy skit, I wondered how would it turn out, but the lines just came to me seamlessly like “It should be this!” lol 

Thank you very much to the staff for giving it an OK lol

I hoped that with this song, we could show our history and our contrast! 

When I watched the footage later, I felt relived to hear the sounds of laughter!
The acting of the two juniors were great too, right! 

 

“Zutto Haru Dattarana”

The moment where I sing this at the time of graduation has finally come…
I was able to start the song by singing alone, and it hits the emotions inside me even deeper. 

 

We did adjustments on the performance after the end of day 1, and thought I felt exhausted, it was a very enjoyable and happy time of being able to seriously face performance until the very end. 

Some parts of the lyrics resonated with my graduation,

and it reminded me the days of shining youth won’t last forever

I will never forget these dazzling days.
It’s my treasure.

 

“On my way”

The first unit song that I received!

We both love to sing, and I was happy to be able to perform it while feeling Maachan’s voice to the fullest! 

The two of us always had our own way of performing this song, didn’t we?
We gave it our all until the very end.
I’m sure that the power of this song has reached many people! 

Even if it is only just one person, I hope that it reaches them! 

 

“Kakushinteki Croissant”

It’s a song that I have performed many, many time.

The voices of the Buddies going “Inori!” always powered me up in every performance, and I was happy that the Buddies delivered it to the fullest on this day as well.

I was also happy to be able to do the Croissant pose many times.

It’s a song that I really, really love!

Thank you!

I’d be happy if this song could continue to be performed a lot!
I hope there will come a day where I can see it as a Buddies 🥐

 

 

My last stage with the other members.
We’ve stood on the stage together so many times until now, but it continued to be fun until the very end.
Everyone’s words really brought me to tears. Lol
I’d like to convey my many thanks to them a lot!

 

At the end, I rode a trolley and got close to where the Buddies are, and I was able to hear everyone’s voices; I wanted to hear it better, so I took off my in-ear monitor, 

So many people called my name like “Inori!” or conveyed their many feelings by saying “Thank you!”. 

 

I was able to show everyone my final performance in my best form!
I was able to give it my all. 

 

Truly, thank you very much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The beautiful dress that is the only one in the world!
I thought a lot on what to pick, but when I heard that it’s themed “everyone’s first love”, I thought that there is no other choice!
My name is written on the ribbon at the back.
I was truly so happy.
