To you (2025.12.03)

Good evening

This is Sakurazaka46’s fourth-generation Matsumoto Wako

Thank you very much for reading my blog today🌸

 

We have completed all 10 performances for Shinzanmono✨

To everyone who came to the venue, to everyone who watched the livestream or live viewing, and to everyone who sent us words of support, thank you, thank you so, so much!!

 

The seat I had when I got to attend the third-generation members’ Shinzanmono two years ago

(I don’t remember exactly, so this is roughly the location.)

 

 

It was a place I admired, a place that seemed close but was far away.

 

After leaving the venue, I loved how the world seemed a little kinder after Sakurazaka46’s live

I like experiences that make the world feel a little different after they’re over, like movies or theatre

 

I love songs that stay close to your heart,
I love powerful dances that reach out to you,
I love all the members,

 

And… were you able to feel the love I have for Sakurazaka46’s live shows, which I’ve loved so much myself?

From the stage, I could see your faces more clearly than you might think-!

 

I am happy to be able to wear a lot of costumes as well!

 

 

I still have the feeling that I wanted all of the fourth-generation members to run through this together until the very end, and I’m sure that feeling will never truly fade

But during this period, the fact that the nine of us were able to move straight forward together toward the same goal was an incredibly precious experience for us

Wanting to make the place that Hina and Momomin could return to feel warm and bright, the seven of us did our best to carry on somehow, even in the performances without them

 

I have come to love all the fourth-generation more, and they have become even more precious to me

 

All eight of them are overflowing with charm and shining so brightly, and there were many times when I wondered if it was really okay for me to stand alongside them.
But when I saw everyone waving their glow sticks at the venue, and when I received your warm words of support through letters and meet & greets, I was able to perform with confidence!
Above all, it was just so much fun.✨

Truly, thank you so much

 

 

From here on, too, I want to keep connecting the people I love and respect with Sakurazaka46

Day 2 of the performance！！
Please make sure to watch the backstage of fourth-generation members who were still nervous♩

 

 

During Shinzanmono, I was able to feel more emotions than I have ever before, and I am happy that I could share it with you

From now on,
I hope I can share with you many emotions, both that I know of and those I do not know yet

 

 

See you again
