Thank you for opening my blog ☺︎
I am Sato Neo, 18 years old, from Saga Prefecture 🌸
I received the baton from Haru-san~
Today is my last time taking the baton from Haru-san…
I kind of feel sad about it ( ; ; )
Every time Haru-san talked about me on her blog,
I’d realize something new about myself like, “I didn’t know I had this side of me!”
Haru-san ♡ thank you so much for sharing so much with me~
Since this is my last relay blog, I hope you keep reading until the very end ☺︎

The other day, Inoue Rina-san announced her graduation.
I was so shocked when I heard about her announcement…
Being the first among the fourth gens to be featured in her radio show “Sakurazaka46 Kocchira Yurahucho Hoshizora Housoukyoku” made me so happy. It was so much fun, I was laughing nonstop.
Even when I would make a mistake during the show, she would kindly support me and even turn it into fun jokes. Inoue-san’s kindness has always stayed with me.
Although we haven’t had much time working together,
Inoue-san always talks to me with such warmth, friendliness, and a sense of fun.
She is one of the seniors I truly admire. ♡
I hope to learn a lot from her during the remaining time we have left together.
I look forward to your guidance!

Have you checked out the November issue of ViVi that came out on September 22~??
Konomin and I paired up in the photoshoot 📸
Konomin also mentioned it on her blog, but since we don’t get paired up very often, we were both like, “It’s rare for us to get paired up, huh~”
Konomin seemed to really love the cardigan she wore for the shoot, she was completely captivated and was like, “This is really cute~” ♡♡
Konomin looked so cute, as she fell in love at first sight with the cardigan~☺︎
They took some cool and stylish photos of us, and also captured us chatting and having fun. It was a really fun moment🍀.*
There’s also a group photo of all nine of us, so if you haven’t seen it yet, please check it out~!

The November issue of B.L.T will be released tomorrow, September 27th ✨️
All nine of us 4th gen members got to feature on the cover! 🌸
Thank you very much for the opportunity!
We were featured across 50 pages and even took on the 46 Questions and 46 Answers challenge, so there’s a lot of content!
During the outdoor shoot, whenever bugs appeared we would run away together, and we would fan each other to stay cool, really soaking up the summer vibes while shooting🎐 𓈒𓏸
I think you’ll get to see sides of us, 4th gens, that you haven’t seen yet, so be sure to check it out~♡

The new 4th gen song “Alter ego” has been released today 🙌
Did you get to listen to it~??
It’s a bright and cute song, completely different from “Shindafuri” ♡♡
If you have a strong impression of us from “Shindafuri,” you might be surprised by this different side of the 4th gens😏
I was preparing the song thinking, “It would definitely get everyone hyped if we could perform this live~” ☺︎
I hope it reaches lots of people🌸
The Music Video for “Alter ego” will be released today at 10pm!

My last relay blog ended up with a lot of announcements…
Finally, I want to answer a few of the questions you sent me🫶🏻
✿What books do you recommend?
▶ “Confessions” (告白) and “Every Moment Was You” !
“Confessions” is a very mysterious story, so it’s hard to read calmly…
But I absolutely love the thrilling excitement and suspense you feel while reading it!
“Every Moment Was You” is an essay book 😌
This book is very soothing and touches the heart.
If you’re feeling a little tired, reading it can lift your spirits and give you the motivation to tackle tomorrow 🍀.*
✿What do you do when you want to relax?
▶ I light candles!
I’ve loved candles since I was little, and it’s become a routine for me to dim the lights in my room and light one before bed.
It’s so relaxing and soothing, so I definitely recommend it︎👍🏻 ̖́-
Make or Break’s official merch released an “aroma candle,” and I was so happy to get one ^^
✿Do you have a recent story you have with Ui?
▶ Ui and I haven’t gone out with just the two of us, but we have been in touch every day lately~ 🤍
I hope we can hang out sometime ☺︎
Ui celebrated her birthday on September 19th 🩵
Happy 20th birthday!!
Ui is truly a positive angel, talking with her makes me feel so reassured and relaxed 👼
I just feel like I want to be with her all the time~
I also love how she laughs and comments on me and Hiichan when we act all silly🫶🏻
I hope this year will be a wonderful year for Ui✩.*
✿What made you happy recently?
▶ It’s when Matono-san said that she loves my smile!
On September 17th, I was watching the SHOWROOM livestream of Odakura-san, Kojima-san, and Matono-san, and they mentioned me 🫣
I was like, “Did they just say ‘Neo-chan’!?” as I was freaking out by myself lol
Actually, recently, I’ve been feeling really down because all my seniors and peers are way cuter, and I’ve been losing my self-confidence…
I kept worrying about the things I didn’t like about myself or how I wished things were different…
But I knew I couldn’t continue like this, so I had to work hard on improving myself a lot, gain confidence, and learn to love myself more!!
At that time, when Matono-san spoke to me, it really saved me, or rather, it made me very happy 💙
Even though I’m far from perfect, it made me think, “Are you really sure?” instead.
Matono-san… I’ve never once thought you were weird or anything like that!! Lol
On the contrary, my heart is filled with happiness ♡♡
Thank you so much for saying such kind things about me 🩵
I’ll keep working hard every day too, so that I can have more confidence in myself!!
If you’re okay with someone like me, please go on a date with me someday ♡♡
That’s all for now~
As always, thank you so much for your questions 🫶🏻
Tomorrow’s post will be from Chii 🐥⸒⸒
Today is the last time I’ll be handing the baton to Chii ( ; ; )
It’s quite sad…
Chii and I made lots of plans like, “Let’s go to 𓏸𓏸~” but we haven’t actually done them yet…
We’ll definitely go before next year 🤝🏻
This has gotten long, but thank you very much for reading to the end 🌸
Here’s a bonus photo!
It’s a behind-the-scenes photo from the B.L.T. shoot~
Even on my personal blog, I hope you’ll continue to support me🌸
I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow☘️
