W-KEYAKI_FES.2021🌳 Thank you very much (2021.07.14)

Good evening πŸŒ™
 
 
“W Keyaki Fes 2021” that was held for three days
have safely finished!
 
 
Truly, truly thank you very much
to everyone who has come despite the difficult situation
and to everyone who cheered online ✨
 
 
Have you gotten home safely ☺︎?
Are you well rested?
 
 
It’s been about two years since my last live with audience
I was really looking forward to finally meeting you!
 
 
Since we couldn’t meet for a very long time,
I realized how truly happy it is
to be able to share the same moment
with the many people in front of me!
 
 
There are so many people who support us.
 
 
I want Ohisama
and Buddies
to enjoy it to the fullest!
With that thinking, I did the live.
 
 
During the live I was able to find lightstick with sweet potato colors
Sugai Yuuka towel and other support goods, which gave me a lot of power 🐴

Thank you very much ✨

We were also blessed by the weather, which was worrying,
and it has become an unforgettable three days 🌻
 
 

 
When I first heard of this festival, I was happy, but at the same time I thought that it was too early.

There is not even a year after we renamed as Sakurazaka,
and everyday I feel that our color as Sakurazaka has yet to permeate.
 
 
I thought that it was important to at least increase the number of Sakurazaka songs,
and experience a solo live.
 
 
But, there was also the opinion that we don’t know whether all the current members who have walked through the history of KEYAKIZAKA will be together next year, as we don’t know the future.
 
 
It was decided that the first day will be a solo Sakurazaka46 performance,
so as long as there are people who are waiting for us
I want to make it a success.
 
 
If there are people who have doubts about Sakurazaka
I want to make them like us through this joint live.
 
 
For that reason, I discussed with members,
and we decided to challenge this live with a strong feeling,
to give everything that we can do right now!
 
 
 
 
The first day of outdoor live with audience
which is our first as Sakurazaka 🌸
 
 
Ozeki, who was taking a break,
thank you for coming back!
I’m happy that we are all together ✨
 
 
A gathering of 1st generation after a long while🌱
 
 

 
I love everyone!

Because we went through so many hardships together
there are many feelings that could be understand with 1st generation even when it’s not said.

I am happy if they could laugh from the bottom of their hearts
so I want to do my best to create such a future.

Of course I love all the 2nd generation too ✩
 
 

Through this live,
I can rely on the 2nd generation even more, they are such a reassuring presence!
 
 
I hope that they can continue to do their activities without worry.
 
 
 
 
The relationship between Akane and Kirabou
is so funny to observe!
 

 
 
Congratulations on Run-chan who turned twenty πŸŽ‚
 

Run-chan’s pure appearance and fleetingness makes me want to protect her 🌱

She’s always dexterous, but there is hard work behind it
I think that Run-chan’s back, who stand at the forefront at center, is cool.

From now on too, leave the foot part of “Kimi to Boku to Sentakumono” intro to me! lol
 
 
I really liked the day 1 opening costume β™ͺ

This time too, thank you for making such wonderful time
in such a short time.
 
 
I was able to ride a very cool car with Risa-sama,
it was an invaluable experience!

That was the first time I ride such a flashy car! lol

I found a horse in the car and I got excited from it 🐴
 
 
Performing “Buddies” outdoor in the same space as you who we haven’t met in a while was amazing!
I hope to sing this together with you someday!

When the live on first day was over and the curtain came down, everyone looked so bright and full of accomplishment.

I realized that we managed to come over something together as Sakurazaka.
I wonder if it’s important to accumulate experiences like this 🌸
 
 
And
as Sakurazaka, I want us to gain more and more power to be able to convey to the world!
 
 
Our first national tour as Sakurazaka has also been decided✨

I’m already excited!

We will be visiting Fukuoka, Aichi, Osaka, and Tokyo
So please do come and watch!
 
 

I also watched Hinatazaka’s live on the second day β˜€οΈ

It was fun because there’s so many exciting songs, isn’t it!
Even after the live, I can’t help but to hum it!

It was also really cute how Poka was watching over from the sky the whole time!!

Truly thank you for your hard workβ˜€οΈ
 
 
Katoshi who is from Rekomen family ✨

She’s soft,
but she leads everyone with her performance!
I have always liked her singing voice. It’s not out of tune lol
I want to do “Neko no Name” together again!
 
 
Please listen to the radio “Rekomen”
on both Monday and Tuesday!
 
 
Nibu-chanπŸ’›

When I meet her after a long while, the Nibu-chan-likeness that I have always loved since beginning
hasn’t changed, which relieved me!
She’s working hard on variety as well, I think that’s amazing!
 
 
Sari-chan πŸ’œ

I’m happy that we have a matching penlight color 🍠
Even now I still remember how wonderful is her portrayal of Futaba Sana-chan in “Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka β˜† Magica Gaiden” stage play back in Hiragana Keyaki time ✨
 
 
Although I didn’t take pictures,
I was also able to talk with many other members after a long while πŸ’™
 
 
We are sister groups, but our opportunity to couldn’t really meet each other
I’m happy to be able to interact with many different members
so much that I forget my own shyness 🌱
 
 
I talked a lot with Captain Kumi
in preparation of the first joint live!
 
 

I had a meaningful time from working with Kumi-chan, who is my age and easy to speak with!
 
 
W-KEYAKI pose🌳

Thank you Kumiten!!
 
 
And “W Keyakizaka no Uta”
that was performed at the end of day 3

Thank you very much for showing us the sight of green lightsticks that filled the venue 🌿

I was very touched.
 
 
Seeing the overly beautiful sight I had seen many times before in Conifer Forest in front of me
My heart overflowed with the feelings for Keyakizaka that I had kept covered.
I was filled with emotions that couldn’t be described by just happiness.

It seemed that the other members felt the same.
 
 
By reconfirming that Keyakizaka continues to live in our hearts,
I felt that we must work hard,
so as to make many more memories with Sakurazaka,
and so that one day we can all take in this sight with satisfaction with a different feeling.
 
 
A three days where we took on each other’s “now” head on.
It was very fun,
but it was also unforgettable like an trial.
 
 
I was able to clearly see the amazing qualities of everyone in Hinatazaka
and our individuality and potential as Sakurazaka.
 
 
I hope that we can grow bigger and gather again one day.
 
 
Once again, truly thank you very much
to everyone who watched the live ✨
 
 
This live couldn’t be done without the support of countless people
who worked so hard during the live
who worked so hard under the hot weather and others.
 
 
Truly thank you very much.
 
 
I hope that Hinatazaka46 and Keyakizaka46 can continue to get along
and build a relationship where we can improve each other.
 
 
I am looking forward
to your continued support
of the teams β˜€οΈπŸŒΈ
 
 
 
 
Sugai Yuuka
