As expected, I’m much more nervous appearing as part of HKT than I am when appearing as part of AKB!

Good morning ♪

Today, I have a photo shoot with Haruppi and then I’m off to a theater performance ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

It’s my first performance in about a month!
I’m really nervous, but I’ll give it my all!

The photo’s a Manga Action offshot!

It goes on sale today and I’ll be gracing the front cover, so please make sure to check it out!

I’m sorry it’s been a while since I’ve sent a SakuMail!

Today, I’m really happy because catering has stuff like popcorn and cotton candy!

I want to hurry up and eat it!

But before that, I’m going to go sleep a little!

I’m on an offsite right now ♪

My heart’s pounding!
I’m not better than others at talking or anything so instead, I’m just going to try to be cheerful and enjoy myself!

Because until now, I was always worrying about what to say or do ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I’ll try my best! Yeahー!

Hello!

Today is the 48G concert (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ
I’ll enthusiastically try my best!

The picture’s from when I was on standby yesterday before the opening!

I entered on a bicycle for yesterday’s opening (　ﾟдﾟ)
I haven’t ridden a bicycle since elementary school, it was so scary (._.)

Everyone was steering with one hand while waving with the other, but I’m a safe driver so I didn’t wave my hand 😭

But at today’s concert, I’ll be waving my hand a lot so I’d be happy if you waved back ♪

I’ll give it my all〜! Yeahー!

Subject: My first long post in a while

The FNS Song Festival has ended!

Today, I kept going back and forth between happiness and worry.
I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart that I’m able to sing like this as a member of senbatsu, thanks to all of your help.
Up until now, I’d always be frustrated while watching TV.
Thinking to myself over and over “When do I get to be on that side?”

Even before HKT had made their debut, I was unbelievably frustrated.
I wonder why, I’d think “That’s amazing”, but I guess I couldn’t help from also thinking “Why am I on this side?” while watching. *laughs*
So I’m always really nervous whenever I appear as a senbatsu member, and after it’s over, I’m restless the whole time wondering how it went.

After I appear on TV, I always receive messages from my grandma and cousin.

"Saachan, you were so cute!"
Or, my cousin is still really young so,
she’ll send me messages like “I’m going to brag to my friends at school that you’re my cousin!”
She’s so cuteee.
But, she told me that her friends at school don’t believe her *laughs*

Even though I have so many things like this to be grateful for, maybe I’m too greedy thinking “How can I be shown more?” or “How can I stand out?”

But, my dream is still far off in the future.
I can’t be satisfied with where I am now, I need to keep going forward!
I can think about it positively today!

I’ll work even harder so that I can be in senbatsu again!

Please support me!

Today, I have rehearsals all day ♪

I have a lot of free time though so the DVD player is my best friend!

But, lately, it’s been in bad shape and the screen has lines going through it (°_°)
Is it about time that I switch it out…?

Let’s try our best today!

Moripo, Shinamon, and I gathered together to watch a Takarazuka DVD.

A gathering where we could've talked forever about our favorite actresses.

We've made plans to go see them in theater together.

Talking to members who share the same hobbies as me is too fun.

The picture's with Meru and Aichan!

Ah! I was able to snap out of it for the theater performance, but...

I wonder why, I'm just in a dazed mood!
But, it's not like I'm dazed in a bad way, but it's sort of in a good way?...

Like I'm using more energy than usual?
Ahー, it's too hard to describe!

Subject: Mayuyu-san

Today, I went to see the "Documentary of AKB"！

I was so deeply moved.
I cried a lot！

There are so many highlights that I can't pick one in particular！

What really impressed me was Mayuyu-san, who was always steady in the center.
She was so cool.

Hearing her election speech again made my heart tremble.
Ahー, I'm thankful that a senpai such as this is near me, is how I felt.
Yes, truly.

Mayuyu-san is always confident and even in this movie, she didn't show many tears.
But, the first time she cried in the movie was when she won first place in the general election. （I think）

Mayuyu-san, who didn't cry until that time, until she was in first, because she had made the decision not to, Mayuyu-san who was able to remain strong no matter what occurred.
She was really cool.

I, also, want to cry happy tears after working really hard and having my name called.
Everyone, please make sure to go see the "Documentary of AKB"！

The picture's of the mantle that Mayuyu-san got to wear when she won first place in the general election！

[Update: So...I apologize for the lack of consistency lately, but I think I want to try something new again ^^; Starting from tomorrow, I'm going to have daily G+ translation posts on tumblr. This will keep my blog less cluttered and hopefully be better for all of you since the translations will be more up-to-date. For people who prefer having all of the G+ updates in 1 post, I will still have collective weekly posts on my blog! Sakura's weekly posts will be up every Monday.]
