[Sakaguchi Tamami's Blog Translation] 2019.04.14 (English)
Sakaguchi, sakamichi, noborizaka!
Climb with tamami for once in a while.
I'm Tamami Sakaguchi from the 3rd generation!
To be released on the 29th of May
Nogizaka46's 23rd single.
This is the first single that I've been selected as a senbatsu member.
I am really, really, really
happy from the bottom of my heart!
I still just can't believe it.
I'm full of astonishment.
I really wanted to express this to everyone who has always been supporting me up until now.
Ever since I joined as member of the 3rd generation
To work hard as a member of the senbatsu someday, appearing in things such as television or magazines was a place that I've set as my milestone.
Of the Nogizaka46 that I've always loved ever since I was in primary school!
Whether it's a senpai or a colleague
Regardless of where they are
Everyone's always sparkling and shining
To the point that it's dazzling.
Each of them on those respective places are doing their best efforts and giving all they've got.
That's the kind of scenery that I've witnessed
As I became active working up until now.
Nothing has changed in the world that I've looked up to since then.
Therefore, in order for me to always keep up with the other members
And in order to shine regardless of where I am
In order to be acknowledged
I have worked for 2 and a half years with such feelings in hand.
These feelings that will never change even after this
In order for me to keep up with the hard working members
I would like to learn and show the best that I can do.
Since it's my first time being selected as a senbatsu member
Will I get to witness the sceneries that I haven't been able to see up until now?
Upon thinking about that, it makes me so grateful.
I would like to study a lot and become a significant member that can contribute to the group.
Quite immediately after the senbatsu announcement just ended
I happened to meet Wakatsuki-san by coincidence.
Without having any thoughts
I reported that I got selected as senbatsu.
Then tears started to fall from Wakatsuki-san's eyes
and congratulated me.（ ; ; ）
She really took care of us a lot
And she even congratulated me as if it happened to herself.
Once again, I've realized that our commander is such warm hearted person and is too affecionate.
In order to live up to her expectations
For everyone who have always occasionally climbed up the slope with me.
In order to gradually show my growth
and in order for everyone to be proud of me.
I'll do my best from now on as well.
Yamashita announced that she'll be taking a break during this phase.
She has helped me a lot up until now.
I might not be that realible yet
In order to be a reassuring existence for her
I would like to give my efforts.
Rely on Tamami for once in a while.
Thank you very much for reading!
