Sakura: I've turned 23! There's a funny story about how I welcomed my birthday...😂 The day before, on the 18th, all of us went to thank the people who had taken care of us so far. It was a timing where all the members could gather together & they surprised me▶️

#さくのき #IZONE

Sakura: with an ice cream cake which made me really happy~ All 12 of us celebrated together & after that, I went to my bday cafes. I went afterhours to avoid congestion & it took around 2hrs. I went home around 11pm & had my meal together with Yuri. There's a dumpling she eats▶️

Sakura: EVERYDAY, she only eats that! I was like, "Is it really so yummy?" & she said, "This is really yabai! Should I make 1 for you?". Yuri warmed up 1 pc for me & we were having a convo like, "It's yummy right?" "You're right. But not to the extent of eating it everyday..."▶️

Sakura: At 11.55pm, Yuri said, "Kkura unnie, happy birthday~ I'm the last one who wished you right??". I didn't understand what she meant (laughs) But I replied, "Uh, thanks Yuri~!" & Chaeyeon who was there with us retorted, "It's not her birthday yet!"▶️

Sakura: Since the birthday cake came out & fans were already celebrating, seems like she thought my birthday was on the 18th. "Eh, Kkura unnie, isn't your birthday today? Tomorrow? Then why did the cake appeared??" she was so confused, it was very cute & very Yuri-like (laughs)▶️

Sakura: Also, the fact that she wanted to wish me last & waited until 11.55pm was adorable too (laughs) She's precious~ While we were talking, it became 12am & Nako who had already taken off her make-up dashed over & said, "KKURA UNNIE HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'M THE FIRST ONE RIGHT??"▶️

Sakura: Chaeyeon also wished me happy birthday at the same time & they started bickering about who was first. While looking at them bickering, I thought 'how cute~' & who was actually first didn't mattered (laughs) It was a heartwarming birthday for me~

About covering 'That's Okay'

Sakura: The reason behind why I put up a solo song cover... Around 1 year ago, I started seriously taking vocal training. Even so, when it comes to singing, it's kinda scary. In the olden days, it wasn't scary at all.▶️

#さくのき #IZONE #宮脇咲良

Sakura: I'm also from a musical background, I appeared on Lion King & such so I loved singing. Maybe even more than dancing. But I don't know since when, I became fearful of singing...well, it's also after looking at various comments & such. I started having doubts about my▶️

Sakura: voice & thinking, 'I probably shouldn't be singing'. Like, even during recordings, listening to mere advice like, "It'll be better if you sing it like this" would fill me with doubts. I could feel that the more I sing, the more negative I became. I thought to myself,▶️

How Sakura spent her birthday

Sakura: I woke up around noon. Since it was my birthday, everyone tweeted various stuff after 12am right? It became quite late after I had a look at those & it's not like I had plans the next day so I took the time to wake up.▶️

#さくのき #IZONE

Sakura: Nako & Chaeyeon were getting ready to go skating & Nako said, "Kkura unnie, come along too!" but I can't skate so...(laughs) I was kinda scared of getting hurt too so Chaeyeon was like, "Then how about going to Lotte World?" & we ended up going to Lotte World (laughs)▶️

Sakura: I went with Chaeyeon, Nako & Manager unnie. It was super duper fun BUT...it was SO scary~! (laughs) When I was a kid, I used to be the type who likes to go on scary rides. Nako wasn't able to ride on the scary ones before but when we went to Universal previously,▶️

Sakura: (reads fan letter) I feel the same. When I look at the sky, it reminds me of #IZONE & WIZ*ONE too. A sky is something that exists equally wherever we are. Everyone looks at the same sky right? Since there's only 1 of it.▶️

#さくのき #宮脇咲良

Sakura: So I feel like comrades who have spent the same time together are forever comrades. Like those who have been with me since HKT 1st gen but have now graduated, even though they won't be able to stand on the same stage with me anymore, they'll forever be comrades to me.▶️

Sakura: Even #IZONE, they'll forever be my comrades too. Despite being apart, it will never change. Of course the fans who have been supporting us then & now too, they'll still remain a precious existence to me. For me, if there isn't a past, there won't be the present.▶️

Sakura wrote 3 undisclosed songs for #IZONE actually. Says it's too bad we won't be able to hear it in the members voices but she hopes it'll be heard someday...

#さくのき #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라

Fan wrote about how #IZONE is like a constellation in the sky made up of 12 stars & each stars reflects light onto each other no matter how far away🥺

Sakura: There are 3 songs I wrote for #IZONE to convey about this moment, but too bad wasn't able to be disclosed▶️

#さくのき

Sakura: to everyone. In one of the song, the lyrics say, "In the dark night sky, even if you lose your way, I'll become a star & shine forever so you won't be lost". The title is 'Bright Night' or '밝은 밤' in Korean. It'll be nice if it can be released someday, somewhere...😅▶️

Hitomi: Around this time 3yrs ago, I was really conflicted about whether to go to Korea & challenge myself. I haven't been to overseas much, couldn't speak the language & circumstances around me would change so it was a challenge which required a lot of courage.▶️

#WorldGetYou

Hitomi: But because I pluck up my courage & took up the challenge at that time, I was able to meet a version of myself I never could have imagined before. So, firstly, I'd like to thank myself from 3yrs ago (laughs) After becoming #IZONE, of course there are fun memories but▶️

Hitomi: there might have been even more tough moments...(teary laugh) Somehow, during the debut & right after it was really really hard. Just looking at people passing by in cars or walking, I would think, "Ahh, it's nice to be free... "🥲. That's how hard it was emotionally...▶️
