May it be loved by many 🌸 (Sato Neo) (2025.06.28)

 

Thank you for opening my blog ♡

 

I’m Sato Neo, 18 years old, and from Saga Prefecture 🌸

 

I received the relay baton from Haru-chan~🥕

 

 

As Haru-chan also wrote in her blog, 

she and I made stir-fried vegetables together during cooking time at the training camp ☺︎

 

The stir-fried vegetables we made together had just the right seasoning and a nice crunchy texture, making them really delicious ♪

 

Haru-chan was in charge of cutting the cabbage, and it was full of surprises! Lol

 

She said, “Cutting cabbage by hand makes it crispier!” and kindly did it for me, but the pieces were way too big 🤦🏻‍♀️ ̖́-

Some were nearly 15 cm long! Lol

 

So, I secretly cut it into bite-sized pieces.🤫

 

There were other things too… like putting the cabbage core into the same bowl as the cabbage we were using, so Haru-chan gave us so much to poke fun at.

(You can see it in the documentary, so definitely check it out ☺︎)

 

The time I spent making stir-fried vegetables with Haru-chan went by so quickly, and it was so much fun and truly unforgettable ♡

 

I  want to make stir-fried vegetables with again (Mata*)~
(T/N: また (又) which also means “again / another time”)

“Make or Break” was released on June 25th✨️

 

We, the 4th generation members, are also participating!

Buddies! ☺︎

Have you listened to the 4th gen song “Shindafuri” yet~?

It’s such a great song and it really gets stuck in your head, doesn’t it? ♪

 

I’ve been listening to it on repeat every day  🎧

I’d be happy if all of the Buddies enjoy it just as much ❤︎

 

 

The other day, I had the opportunity to visit “SHIBUYA TSUTAYA”!

Just like our seniors, the fourth gens also had our own panel displays and more, thank you very much for that!

It really hit me that I am now a member of Sakurazaka46 too and I was deeply moved by it 🥹

I am truly filled with gratitude🌸

 

Did you notice that only one side of a heart was drawn on my panel~? ♡

 

That was actually a tip I got from Endo Hikari-san 🙌

She told me, “If you draw it like this, Buddies will complete the heart for you~!!” 💜

She’s a thoughtful senior who kindly taught me so! Thank you very much!!

 

Would you complete the heart with me? ♡

I’d be so happy if you did 🫶

When I took the selfie, Haru-chan ended up in the shot…

Sorry for the half-face Haru-chan…

 

Thank you very much to all the CD shops across the country for featuring and supporting Sakurazaka46 ♪

Reading the messages on display makes me so happy! Thank you for putting so much time and effort into making them 😭

And the music video for “Shindafuri” is now available on Sakurazaka46’s OFFICIAL YouTube CHANNEL🌸

 

Now, I’d like to talk about the MV~

 

When I first watched the “Shindafuri” music video, all the anxiety and nervousness I had been feeling disappeared in an instant, and I felt like I could say with confidence, “Please take a look! This is our first music video as the 4th generation members, ‘Shindafuri!!’”

 

I believe this MV captures the energy and passion that only we can express, as we are now,  so I hope you could feel the fourth gen’s heartfelt emotions through it. 🌸

 

We tried a lot of different things in the MV for “Shindafuri”!

Things like breaking beakers, shouting, pouring water over ourselves, and even cutting hair! It’s the kind of  MV that’s worth watching no matter how many times you watch it♪

Everyone looks cool and different from their usual expressions, so I hope you’ll pay attention to that too♡

 

As for me, by the way, I got to experience being hit with strong wind and jumping into a pool ✌︎

 

To be honest, I’m really bad at swimming… I can’t swim at all… 

I had never jumped into a pool in my life, so right before diving in, my heart was pounding because of my nervousness, but once I actually did it, all the nervousness and the cold disappeared, and I was able to enjoy the shoot so much!

 

I think this might be my first and last time in a pool in 2025… 🫢

 

Many of us 4th gen members are often seen as soft and gentle, but we approached the making of this music video with the desire to show a different side of ourselves!! That’s what we wanted to convey when we worked on the MV.

 

Our very first song as fourth gen members,  “Shindafuri”

I hope it will be loved by many people.
