Happy Tuesdayđ
I am Odakura Reina
18 years old, from Tokyo.
A new school yeară»new daily life
has finally begun!
When people are challenging something, they tend to hesitate taking the first step.
All of you working hard right now, youâre all truly great.
Everyone,
Take care of yourselves and go at your own pace~!
By the way…
I forgot to introduce myself with my name in my last blog!
If you didnât know whose blog it was and read it anyway, thank you so, so much.
Iâve already beaten myself up over being such a scatterbrain
so please forgive me……
I can remember being like this ever since I was little.
Iâm the type that would forget their summer vacation homework existed until the very last day and cry while doing it.
Have you all experienced this as well?
Itâs gotten warm lately, so Iâve been going for walks.
Ever since I was in high school, I’ve enjoyed wandering around without a destination in mind. There are even times that I’ve crossed the street at a crosswalk and became lost when I reached the other side.
I have 0 foresight.
My recommendation is Tokyo Tower at night.
I love the dissonance between the warm colors it gives off when looking at it from afar and the cold appearance of its steel frame when looking up at it from close by.
You canât look out over all of Tokyo from the lower part of the tower, but you can see the faces of people walking the streets
From the upper part you canât quite make out the faces of people walking the streets, but you can look out over all of Tokyo
Which is obvious, but somehow Iâm attracted to how those two aspects donât overlap with each other.
I donât have the vocabulary to put this into writing but… how can I put it… Tokyo Tower is almost like something I yearn for.
Thatâs tough to understand, huh…
Emotions come in a far greater variety than words, so Iâm eternally questioning how one can convey raw emotion.
Thatâs the kind of thing I think about while Iâm taking a walk.
Well then, first of all…
âAbout the 3rd gens
The 3rd generation members Iâll be introducing to you today are Rika (Ishimori Rika) and Airi (Taniguchi Airi).
Rika has a cowlick on her bangs.
It makes her bangs fluff up and apparently they wonât droop down no matter how much she sweats. Theyâre bangs meant for live performance. No matter when you look at them, they always look pretty and super cute.
She has a gentle image, but she actually has a strong will and her own beliefs, so sheâs someone I really respect. Sheâs an older sister you can rely on.
All of Airiâs mannerisms are lovely.
When someone finishes speaking, Airi will begin talking with âAiri wa ne~â and the way she pronounces it is so cute itâll make your heart flutter. This is the part of Airi I recommend taking note of. Please be on the look out for it.
While Airi is the smallest of the 3rd gens, she has a very large presence, and I find that gap to be appealing.
ă»Trivia
Until very recently, the yoshi impression was popular among the 3rd gens.
peron~ peron~
Airi and Yuzu are pro yoshis.
ă»Natsu no Chikamichi
Natsu no Chikamichiâs MV has passed 2 million viewsđž
Thank you so much everyone. Iâm very, very happy about it!
Iâd like to talk about Natsu no Chikamichi in my next blog.
Super close up
âAbout our seniors
Masumoto-san is really kind.
Whenever Iâm feeling depressed, she comes over, sits in my lap, gives me a hug, and chats with me for a looong time so that nobody will notice. She always picks up on it.
I hope I can become someone like Masumoto-san.
Of course, there are examples of each of our seniors being kind, too many to write about here, but each time my love and respect for them grows.
My feelings of love for my Sakurazaka seniors are strongly tied to my feelings of respect for them.
Entrancing people with their dancing and expression, my seniors are extremely important people to me, having taught me about a world I didnât know existed.
The tour is starting tomorrow.
This will be the first time we the 3rd gens will be on stage together with our seniors.
During dance practice, I was able to see our seniors performing super close up, and I was immediately overcome with so much emotion that my vision became blurred with tears.
Every time I see them practice, it strengthens my respect and admiration for them.
For my first tour, Iâd like to absorb as much as I can and improve myself so that I can become even a little closer with my seniors.
Have fun everyone~!!
I took a photo with the cute cream puff that Onuma-san gave us during meet & greet!
Thatâs all for today.
I hope to be the brightest star in your heartđ«
This was Odakura Reina!
Tomorrow will be Nagi.
I wonder what Nagi will write about in her blog for the first day of the tour~ Iâm looking forward to it.
