On the bayfm radio program “Tonight, Under Sakura’s Tree” (every Wednesday from 24:00 to 24:30) broadcast on January 27, 2021 (Wednesday).
Miyawaki Sakura: First of all, I received this from radio name Ten-san. Thank you.
Listener email: Saku-chan, good evening. I’m a fan from China.
I heard that Saku-chan will be on the cover of the Chinese “Owhat” digital magazine.
It’s Miyawaki Sakura’s first Chinese magazine, “Sakura is blooming,” which will be released on January 30th.
As a Chinese fan, I’m really happy.
I’m also happy that Saku-chan has such a wonderful job overseas.
Congratulations.
Saku-chan looks very beautiful in this magazine, and I’ll buy a lot of it and support her.
Miyawaki Sakura: Thank you very much♪
Yes, well, I said in a private email a while ago that it was my first time and I was nervous, but the reason why I was nervous was because before IZONE I used to shoot for magazines and stuff by myself, but after I became IZONE I didn’t get to do much work by myself.
There were a lot of group jobs, and there were at least 3 or 4 people, so when I was shooting alone, if I was with 12 people for my regular work, I would suddenly think, “Eh, how do I shoot alone…?” and I got really nervous. More than usual.
And I was really nervous. And when there are 12 people, you have your strengths and weaknesses, right? Everyone does. So I felt like I wanted to show off my strengths.
So, I asked the other members to cover up the parts I’m not good at and create the best possible work.
Well, that’s true for magazines and of course for comebacks.
But when you’re alone, everything you do affects the evaluation of this work, right?
So I guess it’s amazing. I feel like they’re watching me.
Of course I’m grateful for that, but it kind of feels like a burden to me. I thought, Ah, I can’t do solo (laughs).
I realized I’m someone who definitely can’t do it without the other members.
Of course I’m very grateful to be one of them, and I did my best, so I think the photos came out really beautifully and I’m sure you’ll be excited about them, but I was really nervous.
I was really nervous.
