On the bayfm radio program “Tonight, Under the Sakura Tree” (every Wednesday from 24:00 to 24:30) broadcast on Wednesday, December 30, 2020.
Sakura Miyawaki: Well, first I’ll introduce the message.
From radio name Shii-san. Thank you.
Listener email: Nice to meet you. This is my first email. I always enjoy listening to the radio.
I don’t usually email, but this song was so great that I had to email.
When I first heard Panorama, even though it wasn’t a ballad, I felt like I was being gently wrapped up in it and I almost cried.
I felt like IZONE and WIZONE were standing together and heading outwards, and it made me feel very warm.
The lyrics can be taken as a story not just between IZONE and WIZONE, but between IZONE themselves. WIZONE will continue to be with IZ*ONE in the future even without being told, and I will continue to support them as much as I can, but I couldn’t be happier if the lyrics said “Let’s go together” like this.
Saku-chan’s lines really were like those of a fairy or an angel.
We were just one step away from being captivated. It was a close call.
Panorama had many highlights, and rather than one person standing out, each member was given a chance to give their all, which I’m happy about as if it were my own achievement.
Each member puts a lot of effort into their performance, and I can feel what they’re trying to convey, and I don’t think we’ll ever see another idol that I can love this much again.
Miyawaki Sakura: Thank you very much.
Well, that’s right. Our comeback period is over. This time, our comeback week was really two weeks.
But honestly, we were scheduled to appear on five music programs, but one was canceled due to COVID, so we only appeared on four.
Well, we have award ceremonies and things like that, so we have appeared on more if we include those, but we have only appeared on regular music shows four times, so this time we didn’t have that hectic schedule of the comeback period, and it felt like, “We’re back, right…?” (laughs)
I honestly wanted to wear different costumes and try on different hairstyles and show different panoramas over the three weeks, but at award ceremonies we get to perform on really gorgeous sets, so there are some thankful aspects, so I’m disappointed and I have a lot of mixed feelings, but I think that because we didn’t appear much this time for our comeback, we were able to concentrate and give 200% to 500% of our effort on every stage.
