Ryoka: I'm glad I'm in 13th Generation
January 17, 2017
Subject: Thank you
I'm sorry for sending email a day after the concert
It's because I wanted to properly write it
We decided at the last moment of 2016, had a discussion until just before the end of the year. We also had a group call on New Year's Eve and decided the setlist
It's unusual for 13th Generation to have a lot of clashing opinions, sharing our opinions
I thought, "With this atmosphere, I wonder if we're going to succeed" but it's all just because everyone showing their love for 13th Gen Stage and wanted to make it a big success
We immediately decided RESET to be the first song
Saki suggested to do stage medley
Originally the setlist was different though, I'm so glad Saki suggested it^ ^
During the japanese style medley, we had Ayana's calligraphy, Umetan's bass drum
This is the performance which only 13th Generation that can do it, isn't it??
The unit, when I entered AKB with Moe, "Let's do Temodemo no Namida together, okay"
And because this is absolutely the only time we can do it, we said we wanted to perform Temodemo and we were allowed to perform it.
Then, the whole stage medley!
Well, I felt so accomplished
I don't think I'll experience such a feeling accomplishment beyond this
This feeling accomplishment is really amazing lol
Hah
I'm still basking in the afterglow…
I'm tearing up just by looking at the pictures
We could do 13th Gen Stage was all because 13th Gen Oshi's supports
Thank you so much everyone
It was impossible if we did this by ourselves
This concert was a huge success all because of everyone's supports
Thank you very much for watching over us with such a warm eye for a long time
Before I knew it, there were so many 13th Gen Hako Oshi
That really made me happy
Everyone being happy is what makes me happiest!
I went to the audience seats during encore
Everyone was saying, "Even after this please do your best"
And I was like, "What's with this warm word…?!!"
I was so nervous from the moment the concert started but "What's with this feeling like I'm being at home!?? This sense of security is terrific!!!!", thanks to you, I calmed down lol
When we aligned together during the live,
everyone looked so happy
I was so happy from the bottom of my heart
I'm glad we kept on doing our best and didn't give up even with such a short time we had
Each song was fun yet painful yet sad
The first song, RESET really brings back memories, it's no exaggeration to say that all of me was all packed all together
I thought that I definitely would cry and I did cry
That's right, I cried y’know
I remember the old days, my eyes met Moe's
I was like Aah, I know this scenery
I remember watching Moe's face and calmed down when the first time we did RESET Stage
I was feeling nostalgic a lot yesterday
I really hate memories~ lol
When I remember memories,there's nothing I can do about it
It's so painful, so heart-breaking and sad lol
Yesterday's performace is probaby the most powerful memories of past I've ever had
It hurts and is painful when I remember it lol
Everyone, please keep remember this too, okay
Don't forget it
I'm glad that the 9 of us could stand on the stage together
I'm glad that I'm one of them
I'm glad I'm in 13th Generation, I kept thinking about it so many times
We were told that we have bad luck, what the hell do people mean by that
I'm glad I could walk this far with everyone
This path we’ve walked wasn't wrong^ ^
I'm glad I could met them
I'm glad that they became my genmate
