Sakura: We talked too much last week lol. We can really only fit 20 min of conversation into a week Nako: How long did we talk? Sakura: 40 min Nako: We talked twice as much! 😅 Sakura: Ah well, they can listen to the longer version on demand then #宮脇咲良 #矢吹奈子 #さくのき
Sakura: It really was tough for us until we learned to speak Korean. But Nako learned so quickly, I was asking her what people were saying lol. The first word I learned was the word for "ume" #宮脇咲良 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #YabukiNako #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura: Going abroad was so fun! Vacations are the best! ...Well, it wasn't a vacation, we were going for work, but anyways. It was our first time flying first class too #宮脇咲良 #矢吹奈子 #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき IZ*ONE giving them the first class treatment 😘
Sakura: Ok, here's the ending number! Nako: Before that, I have a letter for you! Sakura: But why? 😆 Ah, you surprised me! It even has the character you like on it #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #야부키나코 #YabukiNako #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura: At my graduation concert, Nako didn't cry during rehearsals so I thought she was going to be ok, but when it came to the real thing, she started up Nako: I mean, I was looking into your eyes, and then the lyrics too... 🥺 #宮脇咲良 #矢吹奈子 #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura just announced that Saku no Ki will end at the end of September!😭 #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき Is this the HYBE contract getting in the way?
I can't believe IZ*ONE let her continue her personal radio program the whole time, but now immediately after she returns to Korea it's cut 😖 Might not even be a HYBE thing (maybe just logistics?) but Saku no Ki was the easiest way for Sakura to speak to fans weekly 🥺 #さくのき
Sakura: Thank you! Nako is pretty much like a real little sister to me 😀 From here on too, please continue being my little sister 💕 I love you! Nako: I was so happy for us 2 to be able to talk together. Once again...I love Sakuchan #宮脇咲良 #矢吹奈子 #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura: What were your feelings when you decided to audition for IZ*ONE? Although I guess almost everyone did Nako: But I heard of all the groups, HKT had the most members try out #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #야부키나코 #YabukiNako #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Nako: The three of us (SaNaKi) all tried to help each other out Sakura: We told ourselves we'd try speaking in Korean to each other, but we quickly gave up lol #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #YabukiNako #本田仁美 #HondaHitomi #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Nako: Whenever we went abroad, I would always room with Sakuchan. I'll never forget ordering room service Sakura: That time in New York? Nako: I can't speak English at all, so I left everything to Sakuchan #宮脇咲良 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #YabukiNako #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura: In New York, we had 3 days off. We were staying in a K-CON hotel, but then we moved to a 4-story house Nako: We didn't have enough beds, there weren't even 6 of them 😅 #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #야부키나코 #YabukiNako #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Nako: When I woke up, I saw something completely wrapped in blankets. ..."Oh, it's Sakuchan" Sakura: Somehow, Yujin ended up joining us when we were sleeping because it was too hot in her room too #宮脇咲良 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #YabukiNako #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura: When it was decided we'd join IZ*ONE, I messaged Sashiko-chan telling her the news, but Nako didn't say anything at all. Were you scared? Nako: No, I just didn't think about that kind of stuff at all 😅 #宮脇咲良 #矢吹奈子 #IZONE #HKT48 #さくのき
Nako: In IZ*ONE, we'd have our fixed positions, but no matter if we were in one row or two, I would always be standing next to Sakuchan Sakura: ...Huh, that's true Nako: It gave me a sense of security with you there next to me 🥺 #宮脇咲良 #矢吹奈子 #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura: Every time you had to get a shot, you seemed like you were going to die Nako: I got them while holding Hiichan's hand 🥺 #宮脇咲良 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #YabukiNako #本田仁美 #HondaHitomi #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき Hii babying Nako uwu
Sakura: We also had 3 PCR tests, and each time on the way there Nako would already be going, "Can't do it. Nope. No way" Nako: Because, the only ones in Korea are the ones they stick up your nose! 😒 #宮脇咲良 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #YabukiNako #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
"What did IZ*ONE members say that made you happy?" Sakura: For Nako...when Yena forgot you were Japanese Nako: Right, they'd forget we were from Japan Sakura: Only when we spoke Japanese, "Oh yeah...you're Japanese!" #宮脇咲良 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
"What did IZ*ONE members say that made you happy?" Sakura: Also for Nako...when Chaeyeon praised your singing Nako: Right, the members were going to practice on a bus, but Chaeyeon drove me there. We were playing IZ*ONE songs and she told me my singing really improved #さくのき
"What did IZ*ONE members say that made you happy?" Nako: When Sakuchan told me that "I'm here because you're here" Sakuchan: It's so true though. You helped me with so much, & Hiichan too. J-Line leaned on and supported each other #宮脇咲良 #矢吹奈子 #本田仁美 #IZONE #さくのき
*Last Memories with IZ*ONE* Nako: Chaeyeon helping us with our luggage 🥺 Sakura: Us waking Yuri up b/c we were leaving at 6 am Nako: She was half asleep when hugging us Sakura: *imitating drowsy Yuri* "Have a safe flight, I love you all" #IZONE #さくのき
*Last IZ*ONE Memories* Nako: Can we say it? Minju... Sakura: Yeah, she rode all the way to the airport with us. She was crying Nako: She was 🥺 Sakura: Then because Minju cried, we all were teary too, & then Hiichan cried #宮脇咲良 #矢吹奈子 #김민주 #本田仁美 #IZONE #さくのき
