On the bayfm radio program “Tonight, Under Sakura’s Tree” (every Wednesday from 24:00 to 24:30) broadcast on Wednesday, November 4, 2020.
Miyawaki Sakura: And your radio name is Boxed Tomato. Thank you.
Listener email: Good evening, Saku-chan.
Good evening. I’m impulsively writing this email after reading the long remote interview with Saku-chan by Tanaka Soichiro in “ELLE”.
Saku-chan’s coolness in being able to say “I’m in a position to show myself growing within the group” is on a level that could make her the protagonist of Weekly Shonen Jump.
It’s pretty amazing to say “I will always continue to work hard so that I can show my growth.”
You’re amazing, Saku-chan. Do you realize that? It’s amazing, I respect you so much.
Also, in the article, Saku-chan said, “I think the world will be a more fun place if I can express myself as I am in my songs from now on.” This made my heart warm as I thought how incredibly happy it is to be able to support an idol who thinks that the world will be a more fun place through self-expression in music. I’m sorry this email turned out to be a one-sided one. Thank you, Saku-chan, for becoming an idol. I’ll treasure “Yummy Summer.” I love you. Miyawaki Sakura: Thank you. But, I really talked a lot about myself in this ELLE interview. That music really doesn’t need words, and of course there are lyrics, but if you like the song even if you don’t understand the meaning, you like it. Well, if you look it up, the meaning will come out. I think music is the most universal thing. That’s why I want to keep making songs like that that can add a little bit of color to your everyday life, like a bouquet of flowers. “Yummy Summer” is full of summer colors, so it’s the kind of music that makes you feel like summer no matter when you listen to it.
Recently, I’ve started composing and writing lyrics again, and when I start writing next time, I’d like to write more and more different songs, but this song is filled with so many of my feelings, so all of them.
I hope you’ll look forward to it, and I’ll work hard on composing and writing lyrics so that it can be released, so please support me.
