Untitled (2024.3.12)

 

I thought I realized

That life might be a series of ways to kill time

 

Since it’s easier to be alone than with someone

And because I can kill free time by myself

 

When the time to meet up with someone approaches,

Meeting up becomes a chore and I’m hopeless

 

 

 

 

Even if you ask me why

“Somehow” is the only thing I can answer

 

Because it really is just something somehow

 

So I don’t like being asked why

 

The things I do, the choices I make, the thoughts I have, I can only answer them somehow

 

Somehow, I chose to kill time that day

In the middle of the crowd trying to go home from Shibuya PARCO

By chance, I met eyes with the person I like

“Why are you here?”

We were both surprised and laughed

 

Because you said that since high school this is a place you go to often

 

Even for me

 

I have a feeling this will be a place I come to more often from now on

 

I find myself trying to see you again

 

It’s not because I somehow want to see you

 

It made me realize I want to see you because I love you

 

 

Imagining the two of us like that, imagining the main character’s feelings,

 

I wasn’t sad that it was our last performance in symmetrical positions

I felt excitement when we were walking side by side

 

 

 

 

“Guuzen no Kotae” comes from a meeting by chance

I’m grateful to TAKAHIRO-sensei who taught me that the song is about the moment I realized my feelings

 

 

 

 

If I didn’t know that,

I think I would have ended up doing it with my own feelings rather than the main character’s

 

 

 

 

 

 

The two of us are similar

I’m sure we both feel the same

 

All you need to move on to the next relationship is a chance

 

*I* should be the one brave enough to start

 

(T/N: Rei uses the main character’s 僕/boku here)

 

 

Thinking of that made me want to hold hands

I could imagine the two of us walking together

 

I thought it would be selfish and embarrassing so I stopped myself

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want the two people in the song to hold hands

I want them to promise to meet each other next time

I hope they get together*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Yui-san’s junior, the time we spent together is my fortune

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want to make a promise to meet you again

 

 

 

 

Even I end up using “somehow” as a reason without much thought

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t think you can find many things that you can do just because you like them

 

 

 

 

It seems that the only way to find something that you can get into and stay into for a long time is to go further than that

 

 

 

 

Buddies found us

And they’re pouring a lot of time and energy into things for us

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We want to be worthy of being the reason for something

 

We want to put added value and deliver more than expected

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much for the tour in Fukuoka as well

 

 

 

 

Wanting to deliver more than expected…

is what I felt

When looking at the Buddies

 

 

 

 

 

 

An additional show at Tokyo Dome was also announced,

The reaction of the Buddies at that moment was so lovely*

 

 

 

 

As the Shin Sakura Zensen goes north

We want Tokyo Dome to be in full bloom! 🌸

 

 

 

 

With the power of Buddies, I truly feel the circle of Buddies is expanding

 

Thank you for sharing so much

 

Those who are fellow Buddies, those who aren’t Buddies yet, those who are watching a Sakurazaka concert for the first time… I’d be happy if you’d invite them a lot 🫧

 

 

 

 

We want to exceed your expectations

Even during meet and greet!

 

 

 

 

I know that being able to talk one-on-one is not a given

 

 

Wanting to do meet and greets, taking further action from there, making those few seconds count

 

 

 

Thank you〜((♡))

 

 

 

 

Every time we perform

“Ikutsu no Koro ni Modoritai no ka?”

 

 

 

 

I want Buddies to think that being Buddies right now is the most fun

 

 

 

 

I want all the members and everyone involved with Sakurazaka to feel the same

 

 

 

 

I hope you’re enjoying your time here

 

 

I don’t want anyone to feel lonely〜

 

When I’m with everyone, I feel like I want to protect them

 

That’s how I feel these days*

 

 

 

🌷I am on the cover of the February-March issue of Nippon Cultural Broadcasting’s PR magazine “Fukumimi”

Please check it out 📻

 

 

 

I said it in my previous blog

These are the behind-the-scenes photos from“Gravure Champion”!

 

 

I’m glad that a lot of people said during meet and greet and wrote in their letters that they got the magazine 🌷

 

Thank you very much! I’m happy〜

 

 

A while ago, somehow

I made a butterfly because I wanted to give it to Karin-chan

 

Osaka Day1✨
