Sakura: During the 2 1/2 years I was away, I actually paid close attention to HKT48's activities, more than you would expect. I watched Miku & Hana in the center position, watched my juniors bring the group to new levels #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #IZONE #HKT48
Q: What was your first impression of each other? Eunchae: Wow, it is Sakura 😮 #홍은채 #HongEunchae #宮脇咲良 #사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #LE_SSERAFIM
Q: What happened to the OP and ED videos of your YouTube? Sakura: Yeah...I thought I left the data on the computer I use for editing, but it's not there. I would like to upload the Animal Crossing videos, but they're not there either... #宮脇咲良 #IZONE #さくのき #さくのき4周年
Sakura: Eunbi loves C.C. Lemon so much, whenever she came to Japan she'd quickly turn to the Japanese manager and say "C.C. Lemon!" It's because Korea is largely a cashless society compared to Japan so she wouldn't have coins for JP vending machines 😂 #宮脇咲良 #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura: When I was studying for exams, I remember noticing it was the new year, turned on the TV just to countdown, and then went right back to studying. Then I had a test at my cram school for New Year's #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #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
Sakura: Looking at my fans' reactions, seeing their happy faces...that's what makes me happy. I'm 100% serious. That's what gave me the strength and motivation to try hard. Without fans, I couldn't have been an idol like now #宮脇咲良 #さくのき #GratefulFor_Sakunoki
Sakura: All the IZ*ONE members really loved the curry flavor Cup Noodle. It seems the taste is popular among Korean people in the first place, and my parents sent me like 10 of them. Honestly, I had never eaten it before #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura: Zuha, you're not scared of insects, are you? You caught one in our dorm recently Kazuha: At that size, I can do it. I thought it was weird that you were scared Sakura: I wasn't! Kazuha: You ran screaming to me, "Zuha! Zuha! Zuha!" #宮脇咲良 #LE_SSERAFIM #SAKURA #さくのき
Sakura: For some reason, I haven't been feeling the best so I slept all day yesterday... 😀 Right now I'm all better~~ 😭 I'm relieved 😭😭 Oh, right! The solo work that I wanted to talk about the other day was... #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #IZONE
Q: What has and hasn't changed since you started Saku no Ki? Sakura: My appetite for challenging myself hasn't changed. I still always aspire to be a better version of myself, day by day #宮脇咲良 #MiyawakiSakura #IZONE #さくのき #さくのき200 #happysakunoki
Aoi: It's the first time Hiichan and Nako have been on stage together since IZ*ONE Hiichan: During the afternoon concert, I was backstage the whole time watching Nako. I was so moved 🥺 #矢吹奈子 #야부키나코 #YabukiNako #HKT48 #本田仁美 #혼다히토미 #HondaHitomi #AKB48 #IZONE
Mikurin: I sing IZ*ONE songs every time I go to karaoke. They have too many cute songs #田中美久 #TanakaMiku #HKT48 #IZONE
Sakura: Up until now, I've mostly had jobs with other members, but now, all my work is by myself 🥺 Every day is like, "Oh, so this is what graduation is like..." #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #IZONE #HKT48 #さくのき
Chaewon's whole speech, she is all of us 😭😭😭😭😭 #김채원 #KimChaewon #IZONE #ONE_THE_STORY
Sakura: From here on, no matter how far we're separated, I can say with pride that the members are my friends. So for WIZ*ONE, these 2 1/2 years you've spent with us will also not disappear, even when IZ*ONE is gone #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #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
Sakura: 2 1/2 years ago, at the concert Sasshi announced her graduation, we had a sendoff. At that time, quite a few members came up to me to tell me that they didn't think they would be there in 2 1/2 years... #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #IZONE #HKT48 #さくのき
Sakura: Thinking back to the auditions...isn't it crazy, appearing on a foreign audition program without even knowing the language? I don't even know if the me now would be able to do it, it was so frantic lol #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #IZONE #さくのき
I can't side with the WIZ*ONE in this case 😑 Telling someone who already has a boyfriend that you still like her & asking her to break up with him so you two can get together isn't cool, even if you liked her for a long time #宮脇咲良 #MiyawakiSakura #IZONE #さくのき
Nako: Even during the MV filming, thinking how it was the last shoot I'd be a part of was very lonely, but I'm glad we were able to have fun and make a lot of memories while filming Hana: Nako cried at the end Nako: Don't tell them! 😭 #矢吹奈子 #야부키나코 #YabukiNako #HKT48
Murashige: Do you record every week? Sakura: I'll record around 2 in a week or so? Murashige: ...I don't get it Sakura: Like, I'll record two weeks worth at once Murashige: ...No, I don't understand. I'm dumb #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
Sakura: They said I'll lose my life if I go, so I choose not to go lol. It seems the mother (Lady Dimitrescu) will appear soon so I'm just stopping here today #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #IZONE #HKT48 #ResidentEvilVillage
*talking about age* Nako: I remember when we used to have 2 stages/concerts in a day, I'd still have enough energy to play tag in between the two performances. Now that I'm older, my stamina has really decreased #矢吹奈子 #야부키나코 #YabukiNako #IZONE #HKT48 #HKT10周年
Sakura: Is there something you want to try, be it in HKT48 or personally? Nako: In HKT48, I'd like to be able to do a normal concert again, not a graduation concert 🥺 #宮脇咲良 #미야와키사쿠라 #MiyawakiSakura #矢吹奈子 #야부키나코 #YabukiNako #HKT48 #IZONE #さくのき
