Hello!
I’m Matsuda Rina,
Sakurazaka46’s 2nd generation from Miyazaki
Thank you very much for opening my blog
It’s been very late but…
Together with Sugai-san, the two of us went on a hit prayer campaign for our 2nd single “BAN” on behalf of the group!!
I wished to go on a hit prayer campaign one day, so while I feel happy, I also feel really nervous about it, and I wanted to take on the challenge with while carrying everyone’s thoughts!
The first day consisted of worship, zazen [zen meditation], samu [work in a Zen temple] (cleaning), and cooking dinner!
The second day consisted of morning otsutome [reading of scriptures before a statue of Buddha], a visit to the gohyakudomairi [hundred times worship, walking back and forth a hundred times before a shrine offering a prayer each time], samu, and mountain asceticism!
In these two days, I was able to face myself, gain various insights, and feel the importance and greatness of the members [presence].
Through this prayer campaign, I was able to be even closer with Sugai-san!
Sugai-san is reliable and dependable, and once again I thought about how glad I am that Sugai-san is our Captain, and how I want to continue to follow her
What I always think about during the training,
Was how I want to make the the 2nd single “BAN” a big hit, how I want to do my best for the members!!
This thought gave me so much strength!
No matter how hard it was, I could do my best because this thought was always in my mind!
It was a very meaningful two days for me!
Truly thank you very much to everyone at Toukaiji temple!!
And thank you very much to everyone who already has purchased [the single]!!
I’m very thankful that you could get your hands on it!
It’s thanks to everyone involved in the production of our second single, “BAN,” that we were able to produce this wonderful piece of work and put it in someone’s hands!
I am truly grateful to a lot of people!!
Thank you very much!!!
2nd single
“BAN”
Thank you for your ever continued support!!
And in the bonus video for “BAN”,
“Sakura Banashi ~ Ima, Hanashitai Koto ~”,
I talk with Sugai-san, with whom I went for prayer campaign with!
I was very happy to be able to talk with Sugai-san like this, and I hope we can talk about many things in private again!
After recording, we roasted and ate marshmallows together~!
This is one is taken by Sugai-san!!
Speaking of which, at the night of the first day of training, we talked a bit before bed,
and Sugai-san told me “You don’t have to call me Sugai-san~” (She actually said that already before 👀)
Although I can call her “Yuuka-san” or “Yuuka-san”, I can’t seem to bring myself to say it |ω・`)
Yuuka-san…
Yuuka-san…
Yuuka-san!!
I’ll mentally prepare myself to be able to call her “Yuuka-san” the next time I see her 🔥
Well then!
Thank you very much for reading this blog
See ya☁️
