Good evening everyone 🌸

 

It’s Matono Mio

 

 

The formation for the 10th single,

was announced on “Soko Magattara, Sakurazaka?”

 

I will be participating in the 10th single as a senbatsu member.

It is thanks to all of you who have always supported me.

 

Thank you so, so much as always.

 

 

Having been selected as a senbatsu member,

for the 8th single, and the 9th single thus far

 

Every time I stand on stage,

I am reminded of the weight of performing the title song as a senbatsu member, 

and just how significant the presence of everyone who supports me is.

 

Keeping what I set out to do when I started in the back of my mind, I will be giving it my all again moving forward, so I would appreciate it if you could kindly watch over me.

 

 

 

And this time, I will take up a position in the front row for the title song for the first time.

When I heard my name being called for the front row,

the first thing that went through my mind was the feeling of gratitude to everyone around me.

 

Thank you truly for your warm support all the time.

 

And especially with being next to the center, a position where I will be even more visible,

 

I want to be more determined than ever before,

 

and above all, be thankful for this wonderful environment,

 

cherishing every moment and doing my very best.

 

 

As our activities continue,

I think it is inevitable that there will be many different thoughts and opinions.

 

I am prepared to face them head-on,

 

and I am conscious that my every move reflects on the image of the group.

 

I feel the strongest desire to give everything my all and work like there’s no tomorrow.

 

 

But, in the corner of my mind, am I the right person for this position?

Can I really live up to everyone’s expectations?

 

I’ve been asking myself these questions over and over again,

 

and I feel a tightening sensation in my chest at times.

 

Perhaps from here on…

There may be times when my mind will be clouded by anxiety or hesitation

 

And many times when I will feel inadequate

 

And many times when I will run into obstacles and worries, more than ever before.

 

But each time I do, I will remember everyone’s support

And be grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given

 

And I will summon my courage and keep going forward!

 

The love I’ve received from all of you is more than words can ever express,

And I will never be able to thank you enough.

 

I can’t express just how much your smiles and cheers have powered me

 

And just how much it all means to me.

 

 

But I also don’t want to just rely on your support.

 

To be able to give back to everyone I treasure even more,

And to be able to put my everything into expressing performance and song,

 

I am determined to overcome myself and continue to improve myself and grow.

 

Through this single,

No matter what kind of road awaits me,

 

If it’s together with you, I can look forward to the sights that lie ahead.

 

I hope to have lots of fun with you all during this 10th single too!

 

And I would appreciate it if you would continue to support me as always.

 

I will do my very best!!

Uemura Rina-san

Saito Fuyuka-san

 

The way you both always smile so brightly no matter the situation

 

I will always admire you forever.

 

I can’t express just how so, so much I will miss you.

 

But,

For my seniors who will be walking down new paths of their own,

I want to support them forever and ever!

 

I hope to cherish the time we have left working together,

and savor every moment of it.

 

Thank you so much for reading!

 

See you
