Sukimakaze Yo (2024.08.31)

 

Thank you very much for

all three days of 9th Single BACKS LIVE!!

 

 

 

 

 

It was a concert

filled with so much energy

from both us and all of you Buddies

 

 

 

 

Because you have been waiting for it,

I could change my worries into strength

and get through everything until the day we met again!

 

 

 

And the day we met again, on the of the concert

I had so, so much fun

My heart was filled with so much joy!

 

 

 

 

Truly, thank you very much

for your constant cheering and support!!

 

I am always saved by your presence!

 

 

 

 

We were able to complete all three days

while encouraging each other,

I really adore and love all the members!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I was given the chance

to center “Sukimakaze yo”.

 

 

 

 

And important song that was centered by Kobayashi Yui-san

 

 

I performed this song with her

in the original line-upas well

 

It’s a song that always stirs my emotions throughout the performance.

 

 

 

 

I love Yui-san’s performance,

so as I learn by watching a lot of videos

 

I was also worried on how

I should deliver this song

 

 

 

 

And because I can relate to this song,

I wanted to perform it

with my own genuine emotions

 

 

 

 

 

While feeling the lyrics of the song,

I imagined my own feelings like a dark cloud that I can’t tell anyone,

like winds from a gap

 

And I performed while imagining

an hourglass and how its sand

gradually decreasing little by little

 

 

 

 

 

 

“The air of hope I sneaked into me”

 

 

 

In the second half of the song, I felt so much lighter

 

Especially on the 3rd day, I felt the bottled up feelings go away like the wind

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think as us, me included, get used to being hurt

we gradually stopped to feel the pain

and makes it easier for us to handle our own selves

 

 

 

 

 

 

But only you can notice your own true feelings,

 

 

 

what would happen if you keep suppressing it?

 

 

 

 

Will you be someone stronger?

Or will you be someone else entirely?

 

I am sure that I will lose who I am

and my true self will die.

 

 

I’m sure I won’t even notice the hope.

 

 

 

 

That’s why

I hope that you all doesn’t kill “yourselves”

I wish that I could live in that way too

 

 

 

It might sound like a lip-service,

but I performed it

with my most sincere wish

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d be happy if it could reach you, no matter how little

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was fun to be able to

perform in my own way!

 

Thank you very much!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The costume was so cute~~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rika-chan the chairman ♡

She was truly a reliable and kind

cute and cool chairman ✨

 

Rika-chan’s solo performance of “Kakushinteki Croissant”

was truly, truly so beautiful; my heart fluttered in each performance ♡ When I listened to it at the back, it fired me up to do my best for Kakushinteki’s performance~!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rina-san ♡

 

Just by talking with Rina-san makes me feel fun and relaxed

It feels like love!

 

Rina-san centered “Natsu no Chikamichi”

was so cute~~~ ☺️💕

 

It was so fun to be able to dance it while looking at everyone in the eyes

from the time of rehearsal!!

 

 

Did you notice my

super mad furious dash in the song~~~? lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mii-san ♡

 

Her performance is really, truly so cool,

Every song is filled with my admiration for Mii-san ✨

 

I really love Mii-san’s “Sonia”!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Riko-chan ♡ When I was sitting while hugging my knee, she came and did the same next to me, it was so cuteeee!

 

The adult-vibe Riko-chan in

Riko-chan centered “Shakankyori” was so cool~ ✨✨

I like Riko-chan’s “Try me” so much I listened to it so many times!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reina-chan ♡

 

 

Reina-chan centered “Don’t cut in line!”

was so cool and impressive~~~ 〜✨

I also loved Reina-chan’s opening and singing!

 

I was also able to

dance to this song for the first time

I practiced a lot while keeping in touch with Kira-chan

night after night!

 

This is probably my first time performing with a hand mic

ever since my time as trainee,

I practiced at home using my TV remote in place of the mic,

 

and when I practiced, my hand would tense up before the last chorus and my TV is turned on 🎤 lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much

for always giving me wonderful flowers!!

I always get encouraged when I see it before the show starts ✨

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d like to continue to give my best

to show to all of you

how much I have grown!

 

 

 

 

 

Please continue to give me your support!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much for reading until the end!

 

 

 

I really look forward to see you tomorrow ♡

 

I’m hitting the bunk!

 

Good night 💤
