The day after the concert I kept on trying to sleep but for some reason I was feeling lonely and so I decided to go for a walk. After walking for 5 minutes, I got tired and went home. I do not think walking is for me.

Hello everyone, thank you for your continuous hard work. I am Nogizaka46’s 3rd generation member, 1st year high school student and 15-year-old Kubo Shiori. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Today’s blog is going to be on the long side.

Thank you so much for the handshake event in Nagoya on the 6th and 7th of May!! For the national handshake I was paired with ChocoReno! Watching Reno’s high energy made me feel blessed to be with her. Reno’s fans were also very nice, and it was fun to meet them! Thank you so much.

At the individual handshake I wore white overalls, and off-the-shoulder shirt… Thank you to everyone that came! It was super fun wasn’t it〜〜〜〜!

(my outfit for the 3rd time slot was posted on Miichan’s blog)

(TL note: Picture for Mizuki’s blog along with the caption ‘Shiorin with her staple red bandana’)

That’s right Miichan, I read you blog 〜 I hope you’re happy. The way that you think of me makes me feel nothing but happiness. Miichan, I love you. I’m so glad I met you. (I didn’t mean to tell her I loved her but the other day I did by accident.)

Minamin sat beside me on the Shinkansen ride to Nagoya. She looked so cute so I couldn’t help but take a picture〜〜

To everyone that came, everyone who did calls, and everyone who wanted to go but couldn’t, thank you so much. It is thanks to everyone’s support that we are able to be where we are now.

Now that those 6 days and 8 performances have been concluded, thinking back on all those days where we worked so hard, it feels like all that weight has been lifted.

When this concert was decided, I thought this was a chance. I went in with the mindset that we were blessed with a rare opportunity I never thought we would have and if we wasted it, we wouldn’t get a second chance.

Through this opportunity I was able to evolve as a person. Up till now no matter what I did I did it alone. I would always act with the feeling that “I should do it myself”. I was scared that if I were to voice my opinion that it would be ignored. Likewise, I’m not a perfect person and therefore, I don’t believe that I’m in a position where I can voice my opinion to others.

However, I realized that when preparing a concert, you cannot think like that regardless of if you think you can or can’t do it alone. Realizing that during practice spurred me to not drag the other members down and so I worked hard on my dancing, singing and other smaller details about my performance. Through this I learned that the key to producing a successful concert was only possible through exchanging your thoughts and opinions with others.

During these six days the way I was thinking changed. At the same time the relationship between all 12 members also changed. I want to put our relationship into words, but I can’t seem to find the right ones… It’s not friends, we’re a group but that isn’t all we are. It’s not family either…hmmm it’s difficult to describe.

However, one thing is for sure and that as a group we have gotten stronger, but we are not satisfied with where we are. For here on please don’t take your eyes off of us. Without relying on the name ‘Nogizaka46’, we will continue to do our best and to climb higher. We’ll continue to be in your care.

AiiA 2.5 Theater Tokyo, thank you.

I feel lucky that we got to perform in the same theatre.

Riria. Even though you’re younger than me and I caused a lot of trouble for you thank you for leading the MCs.

Renka. Even though I though there was somethings that were hard to say thank you for speaking them honestly.

Minami. Thank you for guiding us along the path to a successful concert. Because you were there, we were able to do our best.

Momoko. Thank you for going all out and doing your best, not only on the piano but until your voice gave out. You were so cool.

Tamami. Thank you for practicing the songs and dances with me until the very last minute on top of that thank you for giving me eye contact during the dances.

Kaeda. Even though you weren’t in good physical health thank you for doing the best that you could during the concert. Don’t overdo it.

Reno. Thank you for being beside me in the dressing room and listening and talking with me. Your high energy during the concert is impressive.

Hazuki. Thank you for always smiling and making eye contact with me during our dance routines. What happened during the encore on the final day is something I will never forget.

Mizuki. During the days of the concert the distance between us squeezed closer didn’t it. Thank you for always performing at 100%.

Ayano. You really supported me. Thank you for always being beside me and giving me tight hugs. Next time I will be the one supporting you.

Yuuki. Even though you were not feeling good the fact that you had the guts to still stand on that stage was really moving. Thank you for putting you heart and soul into everything you do.

 This was me looking back at the other members. From this point forward I’ll be reflecting on my own personal points.

I’m grateful to all the other 11 members but my gratitude to Momochan is immeasurable. Momochan, truly practiced the piano every single day. On days of the handshake events, before lessons, when we she had some free time, she even brought an electric piano home to practice. Without sparing even time for sleep I would see her practicing. “You don’t have to be working that hard…” I would say worried. Momochan is honestly super amazing and cool. Thank you. It was thanks to Momochan that, as a group, we were able to become closer. Thank you.

The nervousness before the start of ‘Kanashimi no Wasurekata”, the blue scenery during “Nandome no Aozora ka?” the singing of each member during ‘Kikkake” the tonality of Momochan’s Piano during “Kimi no Na wa Kibou” I’ll never forget any of them.

Because we just finished the performance, I should have a lot to say but I just can’t seem to put them into words. Therefore, please allow me to write my thoughts about the performance on my next blog. It’s kind of a shock that the words aren’t coming to me. All except one, “it’s completely over.”

I’ll leave it there for now.

Even still I don’t want to remain at this level. I want to work harder so I can rise higher. I want to make my dreams come true.  In order to make Hibiya the best performance I possibly can I’ll continue to do my best, please look after me.

To everyone involved in the production of our concert thank you so very much. There are no words to express how grateful I am to you. From the bottom of my heart thank you very much.

 Honestly right now because I’ve put all my strength into the concerts I’m not thinking straight. Today, when I woke up from my afternoon nap I panicked, threw on my backpack, and ran out of the house almost like I had a live concert that day. I wonder if I should perform a solo concert at home today. I want to do it again 〜

Speaking of which, the final day of the concert, May 14th ,was “mother’s day”. Although not on the 14th, my mom did come watch me perform. I hope that I was able to give her an enjoyable performance. During the concert period when my lessons weren’t going so well my mom helped me. I’ve always been a mama’s girl, ever since I was young, I would always be clinging to my mother. It’s hard to imagine that I would now be living this far away from her.

Ever since coming to Tokyo, whenever I would see a mother holding the hand of their child while I was out for a walk I would almost cry remembering those times with my mom. The other day, I saw this small child asked their mom “What’s for dinner todaaaay??” and it made me feel lonely. That night I called my mother and asked “What’s for dinner todaaay??” She replied with “I made minced meat cutlet. It was very delicious, I wish that Shiori could’ve eaten it too.”

 Mother, what are you doing now? You work so hard every day, thank you as always. Next time we meet please make me food again. Let’s eat together. Thank you for giving birth to me and guiding me along this path. I’ll continue to be in you care. I’ll never tell her this directly though. Nope, never.

 Did you watch NOGIBINGO!8 yet? In my own, I poured my heart and soul into my variety performance…Please don’t hate me (´･_･`)

 On the previous blog I received a lot of messages of support and impressions of the live concert. Thank you very much. Because everyone is here I’m able to be here. With that in mind I’ll keep on doing my best. I can say I’ll do my best, but I’m bad at evaluating myself and what my best is. I want to become someone who can come to value themselves, but it will probably take some time.

Even though the contents are slim the blog became quite long (´･_･`) I apologize deeply for this (´･_･`).

I’ll write again soon.

 Kubo Shiori.

 I always thought that people who don’t have the opportunity won’t change. People will say “If I don’t have a chance, I can’t change my circumstance.” But that is wrong. It’s the people who, even though they didn’t have an opportunity, but still manage to change who are the real people aren’t they.  I want to be some that makes the steps that I take every day important. A person that looks around and see’s value in how far they’ve come. With this maybe I can start to change my circumstances little by little. That’s the person I want to be. I can’t lose my focus, not even for a second.
