Tonight, under the Sakura tree

Sakura Miyawaki: Well, I think we only live once. So I really talk a lot with my parents. About dreams, about the future, and things like that. I didn't talk at all in the past, but now that I'm an adult, even though I'm not yet an adult,

Miyawaki Sakura: Speaking of something that happened recently, those of you who read my private emails know that the things I like change all the time.So, what I like now, and I've liked this for a long time, is that I love potatoes, and right now...

Listener email: I heard that Saku-chan will be on the cover of the Chinese "Owhat" digital magazine. Saku-chan looks so beautiful in this issue, I'll buy a lot and support her. Miyawaki Sakura: Thank you very much♪ Yes, well, I also got a private email a while ago saying

Sakura Miyawaki: Ah, right. I said that I started keeping a diary recently. So I bought a notebook. I was going to write in it, but I bought one that was a little too big, so I couldn't carry it around with me, and I only wrote in it when I was at home.

Listener mail: Please tell us about your TMI and what you're into today.Miyawaki Sakura: Recently, there was a fairy tale contest held by NHK, and there was a two-year-old girl who won the silver prize. Her name is Nonoka-chan (Murakata Nonoka-chan), and she has a dog named Otoko.

Miyawaki Sakura: I like Yena's dance. I really like Yena's dance among IZ*ONE. Chaeyoung's is great too, and Yujin's dance is super precise. She really follows the teacher's instructions.

Staff email: You used to say that you often ordered takeout, but how is it now? Miyawaki Sakura: Well, I'm getting tired of it. Finally (laughs) I'm getting tired of sannakuji. It just came to me. I ate sannakuji, and although I used to eat it quickly, I can't seem to move my chopsticks any more.

Sakura Miyawaki: Well, this recording took place on January 10, 2021. It was the first recording of 2021, and as for how I started the new year, this is really sad news, but I was asleep. That's because on December 31st, we (IZ*ONE) were going to be appearing on a music show.

Miyawaki Sakura: (To Chaeyoung, whose birthday is January 11, 2021) Is it a message for Chaeyoung? It's been four years since I met you? It's been four years already? Wow.It's been about four years, and Chaeyoung has really been talking about IZ*ONE and the future.

Sakura Miyawaki: And I'm going to participate in the "PEPSI 2021 K POP Campaign". Thank you very much. It's a special collaboration with former SISTAR member Soyou, IZ*ONE, and rapper pH-1. Oh, will there be a commercial for this too?

Miyawaki Sakura: Well, I'll announce my dream for 2021. First of all, I want to meet WIZ*ONE. It's obvious. To meet WIZ*ONE in person. This is a dream, a goal, it's an absolute must. It's like a promise.

Sakura Miyawaki: And in Japan, next Monday, January 11th, is Coming of Age Day, but in Korea, they use the traditional Japanese age system, so if they are 20 years old in Japan, Yuri, Hii-chan, Nako...wait a minute. I seriously can't believe Nako is 20 years old. I've been watching Nako since she was 12 years old.

Sakura Miyawaki: I often see dancers who are highly evaluated, and I often watch their YouTube videos. I think, "Oh, they're good at this." I saw something on Twitter that said, "You can't get good at your hands unless you have discerning eyes." If your eyes aren't discerning, your hands won't be good at it.

Sakura Miyawaki: Well, finally, the new year has begun. I want 2021 to be a year without any regrets, and a year where I can believe in the path, place, and people I've chosen. Yes. I want to walk my own path, I don't want to have any regrets, and I want to give my all to everything.

Sakura Miyawaki: Well, this recording took place on the 28th of December, and it's already the 30th of December, which means there's really only one or two days left of this year. Ah... It's time to say goodbye to 2020. I don't really like Christmas.
