Hi ☀️
I’m Shibata Yuna, an 18 year old from Chiba prefecture.
Is it getting cooler?
No, it definitely isn’t.
The 3rd round of applications for the online meet & greet
ends at 2pm today!!!
Let’s talk~!
Lately, I’ve been asked to sing a lot during the meet & greets
so I’ve been singing a lot! lol
If you can’t think of anything to talk about,
let’s sing together.
I’m not confident in my singing yet, but I like to sing so it’s fun. ^ ^
I’m also going to think of lots of things to talk about too!
I’m getting excited.
I’ll be glad even if we only meet for a short time. ♪
Seira and Mayu-tan ♡
My big sisters.
Platinum FLASH’s
Nogizaka46 4th gen edition
Includes a humongous 100-page feature on us!!
It’s the first time we had a photoshoot with all 16 of us~
We also had photoshoots in smaller groups too!
I was with Kuromi and Hayashi,
and we had a shoot with the concept of “Tokyo Kawaii Weekend”!
It was so fun to do a photoshoot that was a little bit different than the regular stuff. (*´-`)
It will be released on the 27th August!
Please check it out. ♡
And,
The 4th gen members will be appearing at
@JAM EXPO 2020-2021!
We appeared with 11 members at the 2019 @JAM EXPO,
and for some reason I can vividly remember the red floor lol
The summer of 2019,
I don’t know why I can remember it all so vividly.
I guess it might have been because it was such an intense experience~
We’ll be doing our best to have fun at this year’s @JAM so that you too can enjoy it with us. ☺︎
So please come along and watch us!
I had my hair slightly curled during the mini-live~
How does it look~?
Do I look a bit more mature?
Also also
I’ll be appearing on next week’s Nogizaka46’s All Night Nippon broadcast on Wednesday, 25th August!
I thought that my last appearance on the show wasn’t too long ago, but it was actually back in May and 3 months have already passed!
Time sure flies by~
I’m so happy to be able to talk a lot with Shinuchi-san!
I’ll do my best to talk better than I did last time!!
Please look forward to it. ☺︎
28th single
I’ve come to a point where I’m feeling frustrated.
As a fan, I know that it’s not easy to be selected in the senbatsu of Nogizaka46.
Since the last senbatsu announcement until now
I’ve been thinking about what I needed to do to move forwards
I wrote down what I needed to do during this time, and I put in the effort to do it.
I feel that I have changed quite a bit.
I’m worried that because I am moving forwards too slowly, you’ll get bored of me and leave.
That’s my worry.
But when I see all the comments on my blogs and receive warm words of support during the handshake events and meet & greets, this reminds me that I can keep striving and work hard towards my goals.
Because of everyone, I can keep doing my best.
I feel that need to return the favour, and I need to do it faster, otherwise people will go elsewhere.
Please wait for me.
But I won’t rush.
I’ll be thinking about what I’m able to do.
I hope you’ll continue to watch over me.
I’ll definitely return it to you.
So please wait for me.
This I promise you.
After the senbatsu announcement I felt a lot of warmth from the seniors.
They got in touch with me and called me and we talked for a long time together.
I love them all.
I want to work together with the seniors I love and admire more, so I’ll work hard towards getting closer to them.
I’m really looking forward to the new song with Kakki as centre. ✨
Congrats!
I wrote a letter to Kakki for her birthday, so I probably won’t write it out here.
Kakki being happy on the plane. ✈︎
I’m committed to doing whatever it takes during this time.
Please look out for me. ( ¨̮ )
Thanks for reading! See you next time.
(August 20th Shibata Yuna)
