A Summer Spent with You — Yuuna Suzuki (09/6/26)
Original blog: https://www.nogizaka46.com/s/n46/diary/detail/104641
Thank you for all your hard work today, everyone.
I’m Yuuna Suzuki of Nogizaka46’s 6th Gen.
June has arrived ☂️
It’s been one rainy, overcast day after another lately.
Recently, I’ve found myself thinking things like:
“What if I were the sky? What if I were reborn as the sky?”
How would I influence the weather, I wonder?
If I were the sky, amidst all these dreary, rainy days, I’d want to make a rainbow appear somewhere in everyone’s daily lives. ˙ᵕ˙
Part of what makes rainbows so lovely is that you don’t come across them very often.
But if I were the sky, I don’t think I’d pay much attention to that at all.
I might end up filling the sky with rainbows whenever I pleased. 🌱
Well, such superpowers don’t actually exist.
So instead, as a member of Nogizaka46, I’ll do everything I can to bring a little sunshine into everyone’s days throughout this month as well.
Thank you, as always, for your support this month.
And now
The Senbatsu line-up announcement for our 42nd single was recently made on Nogizaka Koujichuu.
For this single as well, I will be participating as an Under member.
During the previous single, I had the opportunity to take part in my very first Under Live, and I was able to take on board so many things!
I came to appreciate even more deeply the significance of that stage, the strength of the people standing upon it, and the warmth and passion of all those who support and sustain us.
This summer, I want to carefully take in the things that can only be found during each single campaign period, and make them a part of myself.
The 42nd single comes after a period filled with many encounters and farewells.
I want to approach it as a slightly stronger version of myself. I’ll give it my all.

And no matter where I am standing, I want to press on straightforwardly with a smile, staying true to myself so that I can deliver the absolute best summer to all of you.
At the moment, I don’t know whether I’ve become the sort of member people were hoping for. I don’t even know whether I’ve truly grown into a member worthy of Nogizaka46.
Perhaps I haven’t been able to keep pace with the rate of growth that people expected from me.
Even so, for everyone who continues to support me, I want to work as hard as I possibly can each day to bring even the smallest increase in smiles to your lives during this time. I’ll keep pushing forward with everything I’ve got.
Once again, please continue to support our 42nd single!!
Furthermore, the graduation of 3rd Generation member Yoshida-san was announced the other day.
She always noticed even the smallest things around us, and with her incredibly generous heart and welcoming presence, she was constantly there to support us.
During the Under Live for the 41st single, I was genuinely delighted to have the opportunity to perform “Mukuchi na Lion” together with her.
She also taught me so much about choreography and the attitude needed when approaching live performances.
Even during busy periods, she would bring handmade biscuits for everyone.
The warmth and kindness she showed us, even without putting them into words, are not things that should ever be taken for granted. Although the time we spent together was short, my heart is filled with gratitude.
I’ll reflect on the meaning of being able to spend this limited remaining time with her and treasure it deeply.
And finally, the Midsummer National Tour 2026 is about to begin!!
It’s my second National Tour! I am incredibly excited and a bit nervous
I hope I can broaden my range of expression even more than I did last year.
I’ll continue studying, learning, and giving it my all.
And first up, just four days from now, is our performance in Fukui!
I’d be so happy if you’re looking forward to it. 🌻🍉
Whether you are a local or travelling from far afield, please take care on your journey here.
Thank you very much for your support.
I’ll be waiting for you in the Kingdom of Dinosaurs. 🦖
Thank you very much for reading to the very end. ˙ᵕ˙
