It’s weird having so little on this site about my “home group” Keyakizaka46 and idol world kami oshimen Saito Fuyuka, but Keyaki is generally well-covered by plenty of other translators. (For instance their video content is organized nicely on Keyavids, where I occasionally contribute.)

One thing I have been wanting to do is translate Fuu’s blogs, but originally taking on a daily translation assignment seemed like way too much work… hah the irony.

Well now I’ll try to pick off ones where I can, starting with her post-9th Single senbatsu shakeup announcement. As has been sagely noted, you know it’s going to be a serious blog when they leave in the default header image.

September 9th (1257) — 9th Single 💿

Good evening 👋🏻

The release of Keyakizaka46’s 9th single has been announced for this winter!

Thank you.

The 8th single went on sale in February, so it’s been a while,
and all our fans thinking, “still not yet? still not yet?”, have been kept waiting.

Being able to put out a single isn’t a sure thing, and it’s important each and every time we are able to do that to consider that again. 🙇🏻‍♂️

  

And, along with the 9th single release, Keyakizaka46 held its first senbatsu announcement.

When I think about it, it was a near miracle we were able to maintain an all-member senbatsu through eight singles, and I’m really thankful for that!

I wasn’t selected as a member for the 9th single senbatsu.

Fans, family, friends,
I’m truly grateful for the support everyone is giving me…

I guess they must be worrying about me… various thoughts like that have been going through my mind 💭

But, personally, I don’t take it as much of a negative,
I’m thinking of this period as a chance,
and I want to make sure this time is absolutely not wasted on myself! 🧐

I always want to be able to contribute something to Keyakizaka46,
so I hope to spend the time looking for that something.

I’m gunna work hard on it!!!!! 💪🏻

  

Since the senbatsu announcement was a while ago, these are the kind of feelings I have now,
but back then I felt unusually depressed. That’s rare!

However, after talking a lot with the members and staff I felt better 😊

Nevertheless, I can say having had that experience for the first time,
from here on out if I get those feelings again, I’ll be ready.

When it comes to the music shows or Keyakake, honestly I wonder if I’ll be able to watch 😂

I guess I’m saying I’m a child still.

  

Huh, what do I write after that.

Right now my head is packed full of thoughts about the rehearsals for the Tokyo Dome performance 🤯

I can’t memorize all of it… 😭
But I’m really looking forward to it; it’s the thing in my life I’m most excited about recently.

  

Since I guess every person has their own way of thinking, I’ll write about by own perspective,

and rather than take my number one goal to be to join the senbatsu, or to stand in front,
I’ll convey the song, deliver it to you; having that be the number one thing I think about, that’s something I don’t want to change… that’s what I believe.
And for Keyakizaka too, I don’t want that part to change… 🤔

Well, I’ll admit if you don’t get into the senbatsu then you can’t deliver the song, right? 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😭
That was contradictory 😭😭😭

It’s very sad not to be able to take part in the growth of the “I”, the main character we’ve been watching over since the beginning,
And since that “I” is certainly growing,
I also have to grow.

  

Right now it’s really difficult for me to say in words what I want to convey,
but I’m thinking, surely if you’re a fan of Keyaki it will get across…? Something like that ☺️

Since a lot of your messages are getting across clearly,
I want you to continue to believe in and support us!!

As always, truly, thank you!!

  

For the members not chosen for the senbatsu, I asked about it, but I don’t yet know where we stand or what we’ll be called,
but my wish ✨ is to believe … that there should be something we can do in order to level up in every aspect ✨✨

This got pretty long,

and to be ready for the Dome performance rehearsals, I’m going to sleep!

Goodnight 😪💤

Saito Fuyuka𓃟
