(2012-04-29): Handshake event… is really important, really precious. I thought.Last time, I cancelled my handshake section and made a lot of fans and staffs worry about me.I know there are fans who can only came on that day.I’m sorry.My health condition is getting better!!Today is the day when I can feel a lot of gentleness, the warmth and thankfulness from fans.People who concerned about Sayaka’s health…Who worried for me even more than myselfWho said that as long as they can see me healthy with a smile on my face, it’s enough for them.I’m so happy about that.I also want to see your smile,I want you to think that you can try your best tomorrow.I know it’s just a short while but it has become a large source of energy. It has become the food for tomorrow.Even though there were times when I thought, This is bad… I can’t take it anymore…(lol)But when I thought that handshake event is the chance to get power from everybody, to return the favor for fans who have been supporting me…I feel I can try my best again tomorrow.I know you must feel the same way as I do.I know the reason for fans who came to handshake events are all different.They came not only to shake hands….There are people who want to inform something, there are people who came to discuss something, there are a lot of reasons.I see a lot of minor sexuality people have started to come.I’m also happy about that.I think that living true to yourself is the most important thing. But I know in Japan, some people still haven’t accepted this fact, and there are a lot of things that make you feel painful.But it’s alright. They’re not obstacles.Living true to yourself, at the same time, means that you must become stronger.Let’s be proud.Sayaka will support you.Because I also want to live true to myself.People who are fighting with illness…Let’s try your best as well.I wish you would get well soon.I’m praying.People who are freshman employees, people who are struggling to find a job, students, also all the NEET ladies and gentlemen (lol)Let’s try our best together?So that we won’t regret anything.To all the fans, if it had been for AKB, we would have never crossed path.I’m so grateful to all of you.Tonight I can passionately talk about this.Thank you.!sayaka.a!
