It’s only been a short time since the Aqours 3rd LoveLive! Tour ~WONDERFUL STORIES~ ended.
The tour has ended, and I have so much gratitude to everyone. It’s been so hot every day too~~ ☀️😳
Is everyone doing well? I had so many thoughts that I wanted to just hurry up and put them all into words, but I had already expressed everything that I wanted to during the live tour, so I have no idea how to put my closing thoughts into writing (laughs).
I kept on thinking about it, and before I knew it, today had already arrived! I said that to myself while writing a bit regarding my feelings for this tour. (laughs)
This always happens, so I tasked myself with writing whenever I’m in this position of looking forward to an upcoming stage. And so, this time, I will highlight my weak points, then overcome them without running away.
I don’t have very much stamina, and I’m not very good at singing… and even worse, I felt a lot of pressure this time due to my solo song debut… I was horribly stressed during rehearsals.
The fear of failure that I had regarding my solo performance was further amplified because everyone had been supporting me all his time.
I really am more of a coward than what you guys think… (´-ω-｀) Because of that, when I saw all the other members trying their hardest with their chests puffed out, I thought to myself, “I have to do my best too!” I was really encouraged by that, and I also ended up thinking that everyone looked really grand and cool too (laughs).
“Pianoforte Monologue” is a wonderful song that really shows off Riko-chan’s kindness, as well as the strength that’s packed deep within the depths of her heart. It’s an important song that I wanted to perform with a smile together with Riko-chan.
I wanted to let everyone meet Riko-chan.
I will never forget the sight that I saw with Riko-chan on that day.
I am extremely grateful for the beautiful Sakura-colored arena that everyone showed me.
Because of everyone’s presence and support, I was able to convey my feelings until the very end.
I didn’t realize it until the actual performance, but seeing the spotlights with the colors of the other 8 members that were shining onto the stage made me tear up… I really felt the love from the staff.
Together with the stage staff and my dance teacher, we trial and errored so much for this. I’m really grateful that they helped me with it all the way to the end.
I felt rather downcast when I realized that I probably won’t have a chance to sing this song again… but even so, it will continue to remain in my heart from now on 😊🌸
I hope that everyone won’t forget about it either.
Next up, let’s talk about the second song, Kimi no Hitomi o Meguru Bouken.
I was so, so, so nervous!
It’s another really cool song that I love very much.
Everyone says that I’m the center of the song, but I have never felt like that was the case.
It’s a song by all 9 members of Aqours, and all 9 of us are involved in the performance, so if everyone else wasn’t there I wouldn’t be able to perform it.
But even so, I was overjoyed that I got to perform as Riko-chan in the center of such a cool song! This tour really came with lots of challenges from the start to the end.
It feels a little lonely now that it’s all ended, but now’s the time to face my feelings forward!
There were a lot of challenging things too…
I know everyone has their own happenings, but to those who came to see us, thank you very much!
It was all because of everyone that I could do my best until the very end! I used to be someone who lived through attending lives and showing my support, but now I really feel like standing on stage is what I’m living for.
I will continue to stand on stage from now on, no matter what kind.
I still haven’t gotten over the fact that we’re performing at Tokyo Dome next.
Even so, no matter what wall there is, let’s all overcome it together!
I’m really looking forward to it! Let’s all have a great time together 😊😊
