Thank you for the happiness! (Sato Neo) (2025.08.21)

Thank you for opening my blog☺︎

 

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

 

I received the baton from Haru-chan ☺︎

As Haru-chan mentioned on her blog,

she took some photos of me 📸

 

It’s at the end of the blog,

so please look forward to it~

 

Thank you very much for the online meet & greet on August 16th and 17th!

 

It was the last online meet & greet for the 12th single, so I felt a bit sad 😭

 

Even though I felt sad that it was coming to an end, the time I spent talking with all of you was so much fun and it just went by so quickly ♡

 

There were so many of you who made time to see me in-between work or while traveling. Thank you so much for coming to see me even with your busy schedules! It made me so happy~♡

 

Lately, besides talking about the concerts and Sakurazaka46 stories, so many of you have also been sharing little moments from your daily lives with me ✨

It makes me feel like we’re getting closer together and that makes really happy ♡

 

Meet and greets are really fun because we get to talk about all kinds of things!!

 

Thank you so much for the wonderful time 🫶🏻

 

Next month, I’ll get to see you at the online signing event and pair lane event ♡

It’ll be my first time, so I’m going to be a little nervous, but I’m really looking forward to it!

(It’s my first time wearing this pants-style outfit! I really like the color since it’s pretty unique!)

 

(Just like Haru-chan, I went for an autumn vibe with this cute ribbon dress that looks like chocolate!)

Also, I’ve been reading every single one of your letters 💌

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me ☺︎ 

I can feel all of your thoughts and feelings in your letters, 

and it makes me so happy! 

Thank you so, so much!

 

Today, I want to answer the questions you wrote in your letters~

 

So, let’s get started 💨

 

❀What dramas do you recommend?

 

⇢ ・All of Us Are Dead (Highly Recommended!)

    ・Happiness

    ・Squid Game

    ・Mr. Queen 

    ・Goblin (Guardian: The Lonely and Great God)

    ・Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo 

    ・Ship of Theseus 

    ・Dearest 

    ・Guilty Flag

 

I narrowed it down quite a bit, but I still have other drama recommendations, so I’ll share them with you another time~

 

❀What’s your favorite ice cream? 

 

⇢ It’s Black Mont Blanc! (A Saga specialty)

It’s crispy and very delicious!

 

❀What drink are you really into right now?

 

⇢It’s corn tea!

I was really into corn tea before~

When I went out with Hii-chan the other day,

I bought some and got hooked on it again ☺︎ 

 

Also, there’s this drinking vinegar from Saga, 

and the yuzu vinegar flavor is really delicious!

It’s full of vitamins, and when you mix it with carbonated water, it tastes amazing!

I drink it everyday~

 

That’s all for now ♪

Let’s talk more next time ☺︎

 

𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄

 

A quick announcement🌸

 

I was honored to receive the Media Award from “Nikkan Sports” ✨️

 

I was featured on “Sakamichi no Tuesday,” 

published in Nikkan Sports on August 19th!

 

I never imagined they would choose me, so I was really happy! Thank you so, so much!!

 

I talked about lots of things, like the audition and the First Showcase!

 

Please be sure to check it out ✨

 

Also, the gravure of the nine 4th gen members was featured in the August 20 issue of “anan”!

 

The senior members are on the cover, and Konomin’s personal gravure is included too, so it’s packed with content 🌸

 

The senior members’ cover look so cool and wonderful ♡

 

Konomin also looks even cooler than usual ♪

 

For us, 4th gen members, we have a soft, fluffy feel, and I hope everyone enjoys us in our pastel colors ♡♡

 

So please check this one out too!

 

Also, I appeared on “Sakurazaka46: Kochira Yurakucho Hoshizora Broadcasting Station” on August 17 ★

 

I was a little nervous because the 4th gen members who are usually by my side weren’t there this time, but I had a really fun time with Inoue-san ✩.*˚

 

I couldn’t stop laughing the whole time, and I got to talk a lot with Inoue-san over the radio, so I’d love to do this more often!

 

Thank you so, so much to everyone who sent in so many questions ✨

 

I talked about a bunch of things I haven’t shared before, so I hope you can get to know me a little better through “Sakurazaka46: Kochira Yurakucho Hoshizora Broadcasting Station” ☺︎

I got to take a photo with a senior member!!

This time, I snapped one together with Masumoto Kira-san 📸

 

I really love Kira-san, she’s funny and cute ♡

 

𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄

 

Thank you for waiting!

 

Here are the photos Haru-chan took of me~

 

Haru-chan always takes photos of me smiling! 

She captures expressions I can’t get on my own, so it makes me so happy ✨

 

Thank you always, Haru-chan~

 

Let’s take photos together next time ♡

 

 

Tomorrow’s post will be from Chii!

 

Chii and I went out for sushi together 🍣

 

It was the first time since our trainee days we got to eat out together,

so I’m really happy ♡

 

I was so surprised to see her eating a lemon like it was an orange 😳

 

Thank you for your hard work today 🍀.*

 

I hope tomorrow will be a wonderful day for everyone.

 

Thank you so much for reading all the way to the end!
