Japanese Plums and Peaches are both a kind of peach! (Nakagawa Chihiro) (2025.07.17)

T/N: Title is “Sumomo mo Momo mo Momo no Uchi”, a Japanese tongue twister

 

Hello!

I received the baton from Neo~

 

I’m Nakagawa Chihiro

17 years old from Nagasaki Prefecture!

 

It’s already mid-July right~

Yes… it’s the season of sumomo (Japanese plum)!

 

The other day, I suddenly felt like eating sumomo and at a supermarket I stopped by on the way home, there was a pack of seven being sold, I ended up eating them all by myself

I love the sour part near the seed!

It was so good that I ended up going as far as adding a whole box to my online cart while debating whether to buy it or not…

 

Someone, please stop me.

Thank you very much for the Online Meet and Greet on Saturday, July 12th🌸

 

It was so fun being able to talk about all kinds of things~

I want to talk with you all again! I can’t wait!

 

There were some people I couldn’t talk with smoothly because of bad connection too, I felt bad about it and was thinking, “I actually had so much more I wanted to talk about” ( ; ; )

If you ever come again someday, I really want to talk a lot with you next time 😭

 

 

Recently, I went shopping after lessons, and when I found some cute clothes, you all popped into my mind…

 

I was thinking, “Should I wear this for Meet and Greet? Would they be happy?”

Even though I actually just wanted to buy clothes for lessons~lol

 

I’m still undecided about when and which outfit to wear, but I’ll be giving it my all again next time, so wait for me, okay!

I was given the opportunity to watch

12th Single BACKS LIVE!! 🔥

 

Of course, I was captivated not only by the seniors’ singing and dancing, but also by their facial expressions

During lessons, I’m often told that my expressions are stiff, and it’s something I’ve been struggling with, so this was a great learning experience. I want to be able to express myself in a way that fits the worldview of the song just like the seniors!

 

I love Ishimori-san’s voice and expression in the line “Let’s fall in a tingling, electrifying love” from ‘Minato-ku Parsley’

 

(I also love the choreography in the second verse!!)

 

It was a song I had already listened to many times since it was released, but after seeing the live performance in person, I love it even more 🌿

 

I’ll be learning a lot more from now on so I can get even just a little closer to the seniors!

Now it’s time for the corner where I answer questions I received in fan letters and Meet and Greet (・‧̫・)

Most of them are from Meet and Greet where I got asked questions but couldn’t answer them in time 🕰

 

 

Q: Tell us your favorite songs besides ones by Sakurazaka46!

• Nemurihime by SEKAI NO OWARI-san
• Mou Watashi o Suki ni Natteru Kimi e by Rirunede-san
• Sharin no Uta by BUMP OF CHICKEN-san
• Kimi ga Omoide ni Naru Mae ni by Spitz-san
• LOVE WHISPER by GFRIEND-san

 

Q: What have you tried to win recently with the UFO catcher?

Since around last winter, I’ve been totally obsessed with “Hanamaru Obake”, so I’ve been playing every machine that has Hanamaru Obake stuff, but I haven’t managed to win a single one…

But recently, I did manage to get two “Curious George” plushies!! (. ̫ . )

During the Meet and Greet, a lot of people gave me tips and recommended good YouTubers as references, so I want to go try them out in practice ✨️

 

Q: I want to see a two-shot with Ui-tan!

If you insist…

Here’s a relaxed, sigh of relief shot right after our first recording!

 

Q: I fell shy to call you “Chiitan”, is there any other nickname you’d like to be called?

Maybe calling me by my name without honorifics? I’m happy with anything!

I was also thinking it might be fun to come up with a nickname that’s just for the two of us during the Meet and Greet… 🫢

 

Q: Is there any food you don’t like?

Seaweeds-kind food like wakame or mozuku 🌊

Even though I love kaisendon, I wonder why…

(Thank you so much for telling me many kaisendon places! I’m definitely going to go as a reward for something!)

 

That’s all for today!

I read every single fan letter carefully and treasure them 📔🤍

I also stopped by the office right after work to pick up some new letters! Thank you!

I’m really looking forward to the letters from those of you who said you’re planning to write soon~

 

Tomorrow is Wakochi!

Wako-san always shows me her blog photos in advance and asks, ‘Which one do you think is the best?’

You must be jealous, right~?

 

Look forward for tomorrow’s too 🫢

Look look, I wore a yukata for the first time since middle school~

I was so happy I got to do a cute hair arrangement too ✨️

 

Thank you also for letting me know you got the merch!

 

Come read again okay🍀
Bye-bye!
