- Amazing tongue-twister skills
- Amazing tongue-twister skills in a wacky voice

April 22nd＊Summary



Good evening everyone, it's Sawako.

Engulfed in a dark gray rain, the streets are silent as though it has lost its spirit.
Slightly clinging onto the sakura petals, my hand lets them go.
While dyeing the fallen puddles with the colour of cherry blossoms, I look up at the dark sky.

Being rather unable to fall asleep lasts night, regardless of the rain that fell this morning, it was hard to wake up.
But not being told to wake up by the usual strong rays of sunlight that shine into the room, it was somehow gloomy, silent, and a morning where just going back to sleep felt appropriate.
Despite that, I had to wake up, so I squirmingly woke up.
Doing so, there was one email saying "The Takarazuka people that are appearing in a commercial are cool aren't they".
But looking at the sender's name, it wasn't a name but an address...Mmm.
I knew it was definitely a SKE member, but on top of not being able to guess who it was just from looking at the address, looking at the body, I was only able to determine it wasn't a 4th generation member.
Should I take a gamble and replying as though I knew who it was from, or honestly send an email saying "I don't have your address, who are you?".
Even if the other party were senior to me, or in the same generation, I already thought of an email that would work, but thinking about it, I had an evening lesson in Nagoya to go to.
Other members would probably be there, so I could just ask someone there. Thinking that, I closed my phone.

Today's lesson was again just for choreography checks, so it ended quickly.
The steps themselves are quite difficult and it feels like I'd be crushed but... I did my best.
After the lesson finished, I talked to Riho-senpai about the details and asked for her to do some investigation.
After a simple search, it was Seira-senpai.
"Did I not have it saved...No, that's not possible.." As I was pondering this, coincidentally, Seira-senpai was there.
Even while directly talking about the email, Seira-senpai was smiling. About the people from Takarazuka appearing in a commerical, she had sent that email remembering that I like Takarazuka; making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
With this, I was able to get Seira-senpai's address, and so I plan to deepen our relationship from now on. Hehe...

Now then, it's the question corner♪

Q. Do you have anything you dislike or hate?
A. Ah, to be honest there are a lot, but what I will write from now on, I'm sure there are people who like them, so in the end, it's my own personal dislikes, and I'm not trying to put it down in any way; I'll be happy if that is understood.
Err..firstly, a well-known? food that I dislike is yellow paprikas.
No matter how I try, I can't come to like that unique taste; I noticed this recently, but I've been bad with it since the past.
My older sister seems to also dislike it; unfortunately, we don't look very much alike, but having something like that in common, when I found that out, I became very happy.
My sister's children apparently like eating paprika raw as though they were fruits; I think it's remarkable.
There's a lot of other things; firstly, I really don't like the sound made from rubbing metal together.
That clanging sound is just... I'm fine with the sound made from scratching blackboards though.
And so, during elementary school, when we used metal utensils, like spoons, my appetite just rapidly...
Lately it's ceramics, perhaps?
Speaking of school lunches, jam or two toppingless bread rolls; eating flavourless bread rolls was really painful...How nostalgic. Brown cane sugar bread was really delicious.
I've gone off topic, also... the reason may be my ears are hereditarily not so good, or that may be completely unrelated, but I'm bad with loud noises.
I'm fine with concerts and such, but I'm especially bad with loud noises coming from ear phones, so the volume is usually set to 1 or 2.
Having headaches is a worry for me....
Also, I'm bad with the cold and the heat.
I'm especially bad with the cold; my fingertips immediately become cold. That spreads to my arm and then my physical condition becomes poor...
But, with the convenience of civilization, there are heater packs, so I become relieved by having some standing by.
Also... I don't like when the PC taskbar fills up.
I tend to do a lot of things at once, so the taskbar quickly fills up, but when the bottom gets all crowded, I start to panic.
Even though I should start up only the necessary programs...
I believe it's a habit that needs to be fixed.
Right now I have about 5 programs opened...
Since this is how I am, embarassingly there are still many many more, but since there's too much to write, I shall stop here.

I like learning things about the people who write letters to me, so when there's questions like this, if that person also writes their own answers as well, I become very happy.
So, if you don't mind, please teach me various things about yourselves.

The end.

Um, I was out during today's Shukan AKB broadcast, but I just watched the recorded version.
I can't properly write out my feelings, but to do a feature on a person like me; I'm both apologetic and thankful.
During the part where Team KII members were commenting about me, I was moved by what they thought of me.
It was embarassing, but I was very happy.
Also, Akarin, who participated amongst the Team KII members.
Actually, it was brought up that the member I'm closest with is Akarin, so she came.
Akarin is the ace in my heart.
Since the first day of the kenkyuusei stage until now, that has not changed.
Sugiyama-san* was also very nice; members also coming to participate, as well as all the staff being so nice, I feel very blessed to have appeared on such a great program.
More than anything, I believe that being able to appear on Shukan AKB like this due to the everyone's support.
Thank you all very much.

And so, I leave you at this.


With emotions unsaid, warmly wrapping my tightly held hands together, I hope that there will be kindness waiting for me tomorrow.

Good night.


When I woke up this morning, my mother happily showed me a copy of Nikkan Sports.
Reading it, I thankfully noticed that today's election feature had me showcased.
Not knowing when who will appear, my mother checked it everyday, so I think to myself that it's a good thing I appeared so quickly.
Since the election posters haven't been published yet, today's newspaper became the first revealing of me in that hakama.
A little while before when I said I went with a different hairstyle~ was for the election poster.
Since taking the pictures of the hakama, I really wanted to show everyone and was itching to do so, so being able to post it up makes me happy♪

Also, tomorrow is the first ever individual handshake event in Nagoya.
My part is the latest, so I hope those who live very far away don't encounter any traffic difficulties...
It's my first individual handshake event, so I'm nervous as to how things will turn out.
It was fun and I was able to meet various people in the group handshake events, so I like it and I hope to meet various people in the individual handshake event as well.
Also, I hope to be able to talk more calmly with everyone if possible.
Usually, I talk too much and I end up causing trouble for the other members, so since I don't have to worry about that, I'm a little relieved.
Today was, it'd be going too far to call it 'chilly', but it was a unspring-like coldness.
It'd be good if it became warm tomorrow.
I'm very much looking forward to being able to see everyone's smiles.
It'll be late, so please make sure to put on a jacket when coming.

Thanks to that Shuukan AKB episode, Shawako's got some international attention.  How in the heck did I see this before I watched the episode? I failed.
