this is chuke's 11th time appearing on the show lol, and they were treating her in such a rough (= familiar) way as if she's not a just guest lol nori: we need to ask how many friends you have made
chuke: right now i'm on spring vacation, so i will be starting my 4th year, that means there is only one more year... and i made ZERO friends!! i haven't heard from anyone for ~2 months!! where the heck did they go to!?

Kira blog:
"I went to watch Omotenashikai on 4th, 5th March!
[...]
I was able to watch both days, so I had planned to watch every single detail of the show, but it wasn't enough!

Before I knew it, my eyes were already glued to someone. And when I plan to see here and there, the next corner already started...!

There's so many highlights, no matter how many eyes you have, it won't be enough!

from this week's sokosaku VR
riko: this is our 2nd time meeting [the seniors] but they are so kind
rika: yeah, they were
riko: i was happy
reina: they already looked so beautiful from a far, but when you look at them so close, they are just like... right?
all: yeah! riko: they visited 3ki's dressing room too
rika: yeah, they did
reina: it made us really happy. they are really kind. they said that they watched the MV... they were so kind. and it seemed that this was the seniors' first time seeing us with uniform...

3ki comingggg
#そこ曲がったら櫻坂 rika getting introduced by hono omgg

#三期生おもてなし会_Day2
#櫻坂46
#櫻坂三期生 seems like the ppl in venue can hear their group cheer, that's why they were clapping

Yuuka: "I went to watch 3ki's Omotenashikai Day 1. Looking at the hardworking, cute, and cool 11 members, made me think of how much it'd be a waste for one to take their eyes off of Sakurazaka46 from now on!

The words said by everyone overlapped with my past self's feelings, and tears filled my eyes
I like Natsu no Chikamichi. I love both the MV and the choreo!"

bits from blt's 3ki group discussion

>> Q have you been able to take a picture with your 1ki, 2ki seniors?
rika: me and reina-chan watched miu taking a picture with masumoto (kira)-san from a pretty close distance, and we both pressured her with our eyes lol
reina: like, "ehh~ that's so niceee~" lol

blt 3ki about stuff behind the documentary

>> yuzuki went to watch fukuoka tour performance with her friend (winning the tix themselves), and then watch todome with 3ki

yuzuki: it feels different. there's a somewhat strange feeling when i think about how we will stand on that stage one day

Q in sokosaku's graduation episode, there were many members who cried from the words you said
risa: i was very happy that they expressed their feeling of sadness, because of that i was also able to be glad that i had given it my best
oricon.co.jp/special/58971/… Q have the feeling of graduation hit you?
risa: it's still vague.... (interview was done in late april). in a month, there will be a grad con for me, and i myself find it hard to believe that i will only be in the group for another month

risa: sorry that the camera is a bit far today since we want you to see what's happening on the table in front of us here

they are starting with lego! it's some kind of a garden cafe

catching up with the kochi hoshi(s)

>> 6th march oze x koike

apparently oze got her license for 3 years already. at first it was scary to drive, but now she would pick up her father from the station as he got back from work

https://twitter.com/toomuchidea/status/1492106235641929728

ino: yeah! twintails! there's no deeper meaning into it though
seki: i got forced
ino: actually we wanted to curl it into bear ears shaped, but there's no time for it

fuu x hikari

>> this episode is basically a dance-focused one and you could really tell that they love to dance very much?? 🥺

I will assume that everyone has heard about Nijika and Bunshun. So i will put the tldr under this thread: On 13th September, Nijika is spotted coming out a luxury condominium in Tokyo. According to Bunshun, Nijika has already submit her graduation to the management. The reason behind this is the presence of "A", a popular host in Kabukicho

techi says she start presenting akip snow globe and music box as bday present, as she thought that he probably could easily get expensive and tasty stuffs te think she only start properly listen to radwimps from kimi no nawa, and watch their live when they do the opening act for coldplay

Some bits from Yuuka's CM Now interview

Her kickboxing gym is legit one, where she could go and train on the ring. It feels refreshing, and the sound of when she hits the kickboxing pad makes her feel good. She hope to be able to go more often

>> She got interested in kickboxing from watching a movie titled "First Love" (asianwiki.com/First_Love_(Ja…). A friend of her told her that she could exercise it in a gym, but the movie was the one that truly moved her to try

Akanen on Naako:
Yesterday, Naako-chan's graduation was announced. I, too, find it hard to accept it, and I can't get used to the peculiar feeling of sadness and loneliness when a member announced their graduation.

Listening to her, I thought that she really is a kind person. Rather than talking about herself, she talk about how she will support Keyakizaka. Naako-chan have an endless possibilities, I truly want her to fulfill what she couldn't do in Keyakizaka and be happy

In which RealSound suggested that Keyakizaka's hardships this year is "a growing pain"

>> there are several points of argument that RJ wrote in this article
1) "laying the foundation", in which they only release one single and focus in live performances. by not announcing any new songs, it helps 2ki to learn and catch up with the complex choreo Keyaki have >>
