On the bayfm radio program “Tonight, Under Sakura’s Tree” (every Wednesday from 24:00 to 24:30), broadcast on August 5, 2020 (Wednesday).
IZ*ONE’s Miyawaki Sakura spoke about the two recently to a listener living in Canada who said, “Yabuki Nako and Honda Hitomi are my favorite members.”
Miyawaki Sakura: From someone with the radio name “Bell.” Thank you.
Listener mail: Saku-chan. I always listen to “Sakunoki” while I’m at work. I don’t understand anything, but… even with the language barrier, I try to feel everything from the atmosphere of the program.
I think that’s what it means to be a fan.
Miyawaki Sakura: …Isn’t that amazing? I wonder if I can feel it… (laughs).
Listener mail: I got to know IZ*ONE through the audition.
My favorite members are Nako and Hitomi.
Miyawaki Sakura: I’m not there…
Listener mail: But all the other members are my second favorite members.
I’d love to go to an IZONE concert someday. I love IZONE and I always wish you happiness and health.
This is an email from a sister fan to you on the other side of the world.
Miyawaki Sakura: …So (laughs). Thank you.
But you sent me an email even though you didn’t understand the language… I’m grateful.
So, someone… Canada is English, right?
Please tell them in English that they read it.
By the way, I’m a fan of Nako and Hii-chan, so I’ll give you some information about them… They’ve always been close, but recently they’ve become like “real sisters.” I don’t know… in a good way, they don’t have to worry about each other, and it feels like they’re easy to be around.
The two of them went on a date the other day. They went out to eat, went shopping, etc.
…I’m jealous. I wish I could do that too.
“Big sister” is always free, so… please invite me out anytime? Please (laughs).
