I have no words...... I'm really sad 😢 I just hope they can give her a proper graduation and not leave her without one. Wishing her the best

So, Hi there! I have no friends so I might as well give my thoughts on the group (Just my opinion, you are free to reply) (Also I will add the late 20 to 2021, since it was three months well 2 1/2)
-
20-21 : You can see that they change the set drastically and it felt more lively, Now I agree that they went the opposite direction to Keyaki for many reasons. I think it was great but watching it , made me miss the old keyaki and you can tell management was not going to make any past 1ki a center due to management changing and focusing on the future. (which for me not a fan but I can go with it) 2021 overall was alright since they were experimenting with what segments to do. I do agree some are fun and some can be boring. For me (Not a fan of the single hit prays) ( Basically a adoption from nogi and (idk if hinata did it when they when they seperated, [haven't watch their show] yes kyk did it but it was for some singles if not mistaken, correct me please) Overall, If i have to give it a rating out of 10 i would give it a 5 just because there are some hidden gem moments but overall episode not to interesting. (Fav ep from 2020 was the debut ep, just to give myself and idea on how it would be going forward, 2021: Akane/Rika Grad Ep)
Now singles, when i heard nobody's fault at first , I was like....meh but it grew on me and loved the single (can't compete with the kyk singles, I love there songs more) So my favs for that 1st single was,,,(Nobody's Fault, Buddies & Nazekoi!) Ban was decent for my tasting but three songs I love there (BAN, Microscope and Sakurazaka No Uta) and my fav single of that year,  Nagaredama!!  So many good songs but i will be honest my taste probably wont be for you, I liked all songs except, Jamiaca beer, on my way and mugon no uchuu. This was my fav single overall behind Kuroi Hitsuji when watching the eps up to that point. Now all singles overall were great. Some grew on me and some... still not a fan. 2020-21 was Ok. Not the best , not the worst, middle! That how i see it. (Also Riko's grad was so random)

22: This year was good, we saw some 2nd gen members out of their shells likes ten, karin, takemoto , rena , onuma to name a few. But it was the begining for some OG 1ki members leaving. Harada, Ozeki , Yukka & Risa, Out of these i felt like Sugai's was the saddest. she wasn't my oshi but one of my kyk faves up there. The episodes rating i gave it for 2022 was a 8/10 Just bc of the OG member leaving. Favorite ep was.... were they check their on MVs. If gives a more in depth easter about the shooting of that day and so forth! There were others but Im doing one fav ep for year, This was also the year that they released one single.... CRAZY. But it was also due to their 1st album (which I think was too early if been honest) and thats all we got o... Sugai;s grad song in novemeber and thats all, I do love the 4th single, Samidare yo (Main one and Risa grad song) The other songs werent my fav sadly, for the album ( Masatsukeisu & Zutto Haru Dattara Naa) They had 6 songs and the overture which i feel like its ok but just doesnt feel as hype as the kyk overture. Sugai's song was ok. Not a fan but alrighty. Other than that! The year for me was good but not a fan that they released one single just for them to do a 1st album, feels like they should of released it this year or 2023. Would of made more sense!

23: This year was boring if i been honest. the only good thing was 3 singles and the debut of 3rd gen. The grads of seki and habu. Seki graduation didnt affect me much but you can tell they didnt have anything for her, plus i think she went on a hiatus around late 22. health issues? (someone give me a revision check, thats the reason I think) 3rd gen joining gives it a fresh start but something about me watching the eps of that year was....dull May sound harsh but there were some OK episodes and others were just horrific, I had to just watch it to find something funny. Even the marino death game was better in 2022 than this year. That is how crucial the eps felt. Fav ep of that year was the debut of 3rd gen all three episodes. Singles. Everyone will hate me but I did not like Start over but had high expectations of it been a good song, only one song from that single I liked (Isshun no Uma) Same with Sakurazuki. (Main song) the last single has to be the best one for me 4 songs and 3 I didnt like. (Shounin Yokkyuu , Manhole no Futa no Ue, Sukimakaze yo and Mamoribito ) This one was hard to follow but i did it! (Habu's Grad was not sad but I will miss her for her random character she had going)

What are ypur thoughts? Would love to hear from you all!

Hi, anybody using Sakurazaka46 Message app？ May I ask which member usually post a lot in TALK？ I can't subscribe a lot of member so I had to choose the more active one

I want to ask, does anyone here watch the episodes with subs?
whether you are caught up or behind?

Hi Buddies,

So I’m set for my regular trip to Japan this December.

I was fortunate enough to get through the overseas lottery for Sakuchan’s arena tour this summer. What a show! The girls are absolutely splendid and rocked Tokyo Dome like nobody’s business!

Any tips for show announcements and overseas tickets?

Thanks in advance.

As senbatsu announcement draws near I was wondering what everyone’s predictions are for center and who you would like to see in the senbatsu. Here are my predictions/what I want to see:

Center: Karin

Front Row: Mio & Miu

Second Row: Ten, Hono, Yu, Rena, Run

Third Row: Nagisa, Shii, Matsuri, Chuke, Airi, Yuzuki

Bonus: Inori & Rei if they do more than 14 members

Wishlist (but highly unlikely): Hikarin

My other center candidate: Yu (I just want to see her center something tbh - if not title track at least 3ki song)

Keyavids doesn't work for me. Mainly eps 100 and 101. Also does anyone have link where I could watch Hiragana Oshii and earlier episodes of Keyakitte..?

See y’all in Chiba!

Does anyone else have trouble registering for the foreigner Lottery ? Whatever I do on the ticket plus website, I end up on the Privacy Policy page.

I have tried using Wi-Fi, 4G, llocating myself in Taiwan/Korea with a VPN (I live in France and sometimes UE rules ban websites), but I always end up on this page 🥲

I already have an account because I registered with a japanese number last year but I can't even log in with it since I always end up on this Policy page 😭

If anyone have a solution, I would be extremely grateful !

Just a heads up, if you get a ticket and make it a vacation thats amazing.

However, if you just apply without any plans to actually go please think twice - youre being an absolute dick

Edit: saw too many empty seats cause global fans were seated together

Would love to do softsubs for Sokosaku
