On the 9/9/2020 (Wed) broadcast of the bayfm radio program “Tonight, Under Sakura’s Tree” (every Wednesday from 24:00 to 24:30).
IZ*ONE’s Miyawaki Sakura was talking about Yujin and Wonyoung, whose birthdays were just around the corner.
Miyawaki Sakura: From my radio name “Nacchan”.
Listener mail: Good evening, Saku-chan.
Miyawaki Sakura: Good evening!
Listener mail: September 1st was Yujin-chan’s birthday, wasn’t it?
I’m a Yujin fan, but actually, I have the same birthday.
Miyawaki Sakura: Wow, that’s amazing.
Listener mail: Last year, I was able to spend a happy birthday thanks to the live performance in Kobe, but this year I felt lonely, so I ate two cakes.
So I would like to ask Saku-chan, but as you said in Plame, a “Yujin-chan and Saku-chan two-shot” is rare, isn’t it? I’m a Yujin fan and I’m a Saku fan, so I’d love to have lots of photos of us together. Thank you.
Miyawaki Sakura: Ah. Understood (laughs).
I really did… when I sent Yujin a private email on her birthday, I didn’t have any photos of us together. I thought, “I need to take more photos with Yujin…”
…Right. Yujin’s birthday is September 1st, and Wonyoung’s birthday is the day before, August 31st.
It’s really emotional to have these two on the same day… or should I say hot. It’s really hot in that “otaku” way.
On Wonyoung’s birthday, we all gathered at the dorm at exactly 12 o’clock and rushed into her room with a cake. And we all had a chocolate mille crepe-like cake that Wonyoung likes… it was the same for Kangchan, but there was a really delicious cake.
We all took that and celebrated.
On the day of Yujin’s birthday, the morning started really early. We had our schedule starting quite late at night, so we all celebrated with her on the bus at that time.
We gave her a cake that Yujin had said she “really wanted to eat”.
You two… seem really grown-up, but you’re still so young (laughs).
Even though it’s your birthday, you’re still young. I mean, you’re only 16 or 17 years old…
It made me realize once again how young you two are.
…Once again, happy birthday to Yujin and Wonyoung.
