With the people I love (2024.10.11)

 

We laugh a lot

We cry a lot

I even tear up when others cry

I am always eager to play pranks

And though I don’t say it often, we always express how much we love each other by saying “I love you”, so many time

We praise and hug each other often

 

And with my beloved 3rd generation members

 

And with all of the Buddies, who warmly support us

 

And as we are being watched over by our seniors, who gently embrace us 3rd generation members

 

I’m happy that we were able to hold a 3rd generation live show.

 

The eleven of us united our feelings toward the 3rd generation concert

 

Just as how we have been able to do our activities while watching our wonderful seniors who never leave anyone behind,

In the same way, we 3rd generation too,

 

will not leave anyone behind.

 

“All eleven of us”

When they kept saying that, at that time, I couldn’t be honest at the time, but deep down, I was sincerely so happy

 

It gave me the strength to keep going without giving up

 

When everything seemed dark, there were 3rd generation members, who pulled me through

There were our seniors, who said, “We’re waiting for you”

There were staff members, who suggested new ways to try our best

There were Buddies, who cheered for us, saying, “It’s okay to take it slow”

 

During this period, I received so much power from everyone, and there were times  I felt frustrated

But I hope that I can return the favor to each and every one of you in some way.

 

Just as so many people brought light into my life

at the time,

Now it’s my turn

 

Life is full of difficulties

There may be hard days ahead

There may be days when it feels like those hard times will never end

 

You might even feel like you will never escape from the darkness

 

But there will definitely come a day when the light shines into your heart

 

So lets wait for that day together

You’re not alone.

 

The time you have spent enduring the tough days is definitely seen by someone

 

Someday, I don’t know how far into the future, but I hope those tough times will become meaningful

And I hope we can move forward together.

 

Thank you so much for the 3rd generation concert.

 

Let’s meet again.

 

Before you go to bed tonight, please listen to this song:

“Honshitsuteki na Koto” / Sakurazaka46

 

Thank you, always.
