    ^ Don't worry, I was just being silly/trolling when I said confirmed. But to be serious, in my opinion the hint they dropped was very specific, even more so than Nakanishi Chiyori's. I agree with you it's probably no further than negotiations (if that), and obviously whether it comes to fruition remains to be seen. I just felt it was such a specific hint that there must be talks and ideas being tossed around behind the scenes already, so I'm gonna be optimistic on this one. But obviously it's not going to be "Sayanee Goten" though :lol:.

    Edit (cos not allowed to double post):
    'LIVE TOUR 2017 ~identity~' won bronze in the "LiveFans AWARDS 2017". Sounds better than what it actually is though (I think it's just a poll lol).

    She was on showroom-live last night (24 Jan).

    Request hour
    'Yaban na Kyuuai' (dance senbatsu) got 18th at request hour. Finally we got to see it danced live on stage, so damn cool.

    As an encore, Sayanee, Yukirin and Yuihan sang 'Kusai mono Darake' and it was awesome. I think Sayanee and Yukirin sing really well together.

    Also Sayanee and Annin kept appearing with each other on the backstage showroom stream [hehe].

    And during showroom, Taya Misaki, who considers Sayanee her favorite senpai, went to sit next to her to talk to her. It was so cute! She told Sayanee that she joined 48g because she likes Sayanee, and that she even bought a red guitar because Sayanee bought a red guitar.

    And then after that she suddenly burst into tears when Sayanee offered to take a photo with her. Sooo cuuute!

    'Ayamachi' with Inagaki Junichi. Flawless.

    Then finally, the pièce de résistance of the night: 'Shikkaku', with Sakaki Izumi. Incredible, as expected. During the MC, she said something about when management suggested to her to sing 'Shikkaku' for Kouhaku, she simply told them 'impossible'. And yet there she was on the night, slaying it!

    Just popping by cause I translated the segment from Sayaka's essay book, Subete no Riyuu where she brought up some thoughts on Milky's presence to her as a rival.

    I have read the entire book, and Milky was the only member mentioned by name in it, so I found it interesting XD

    Anyway, enjoy!

    I hate the very feeling of jealousy. Be it harbouring jealousy or being someone’s object of envy, either way both are a pain.

    I don’t like the word “unfair”. I know it is a word that carries certain emotions, but when I start thinking that way, I end up beating myself up about it because I’ll think, “What even led me to say such things in the first place?”

    For example, even if someone else landed a job that I myself wanted to do, I wouldn’t think things like, “Why her and not me?” My stance on that would be that there is someone more suited for the job right now instead of myself. It‘s because I’m still lacking in whatever area that may be.

    When it comes to jealousy or what seems like an unfair situation, it has to be dealt with properly. That’s because if you’re able to think about how you need to work harder and you have the resolve to go your own way, that kind of thinking would help pull you out from whatever circumstance you may be facing at that point of time.

    With just a small change of mindset, those feelings could turn into a competitive rival spirit in which you find yourself always wanting to be on par instead of falling behind.

    As for myself, the person who was most like a rival to me was Milky (former NMB48 member Watanabe Miyuki).

    In the early days, I was envious of pretty much everything about Milky as she was everything I wasn’t. As I always had the impression of idols being lovely and sweet, having someone who was the very embodiment of that right by my side didn’t just stir up my complex, but it also lit up the competitive spirit within me.

    Being side by side, we came to be regarded as polar opposites. Thanks to that, people began to point out which aspects of Yamamoto Sayaka really struck a chord with them and from there, I was able to realise what my own strengths were.

    However, when we were directed by those in charge to have that kind of rivalry, we were also made to compete against each other. It would be fine if we were comparing and competing with each other out of our own volition, but that wasn’t the case. Instead, we were being compared to each other against our own will through the act of a third party. Being forced to live up to other people’s standards like that was nothing but distress.

    That’s why the both of us struggled to be honest with each other, and it led us to have extremely complicated feelings in regards to each other…

    In the end, I think we just naturally came to have a relationship of mutual respect and reverence for each other. When Milky had announced her graduation from the group, she had expressed her desire of wanting us to do something together. With that in mind, I thought, well perhaps I should make a song…

    That’s how I came to that conclusion, and the duet song, Ima Naraba, came into being. The lyrics were written by Akimoto Yasushi, but the song in itself was intended to be encapsulated with my own thoughts and feelings.

    Wow thanks so much! :worthy: That was very interesting.


    Sayanee now has a profile page on LiveFans Push!: https://www.livefans.jp/push/yamamotosayaka

    Around 30mins (6 songs) from the identity live tour bluray will be played/advertised on the YUNIKA VISION electronic billboard in Shinjuku from Feb 15th to 21st. https://www.yunikavision.jp/en/information/20180212_001236.html

    Tora van from yesterday. Sayanee's part starts around 3mins. Interviewing Yoshio Itoi. This seems to be an ongoing segment, so I wonder if this is the MC work that was "hinted" on AKBingo.
    https://www.bilibili.com/video/av19443046/

    But check this out. Her reunion with KiiTa! This was really adorable :^O^:
    https://twitter.com/sayaka_maru03/status/960903083814342656
    Then she posted about it on instagram.

    I have to wait a few more weeks before Blu-ray arrives. That's what I get for bundling other things in one order that don't ship until the end of the month. D:

    Well now we know why she was tweeting about Yuzuru Hanyu so much. She went to watch him in PyeongChang. You could see her in the background on this morning's Tokudane!

    At a recent handshake event, a Japanese fan who was unable to meet Sayaka at a handshake event previously due to her health condition finally was able to meet Sayaka after years of supporting her. There, she asked Sayaka to leave a message for the fans who are unable to meet her. The question was very general, so I think the message Sayaka left here is very relevant to international fans too who either can't meet Sayaka cause of distance or circumstance. Hence, I translated it!

    Btw there are a lot of notes and stuff cause it wasn't something I could literally translate, so I tried to do it in a way that could be easily understood by everyone XD

    Here's the translation! Enjoy!

    Basically she is asking people not to repost mobame content (both text and picture). Probably she saw her mobame content being reposted.

    Hello fellow Sayaka fans! xxx

    I've decided to start a new personal project, and that is Sayaka's fan letter translation project!

    Have you ever wanted to write a fan letter to Sayaka, but then gave up on it because you couldn’t speak Japanese? Or perhaps cause you felt like your Japanese wasn’t good enough?
    Or perhaps you’re just not very good at expressing yourself but need help. Whatever your reason may be, that’s why I’m here!

    The premise is fairly simple. All you have to do is write your fan letter to Sayaka in English, and I’ll help you translate it into Japanese! All for free!

    You can find out more details in the spoiler below:

    My Japanese isn’t 100% perfect, but I have studied it for close to 6 years now, and also majored in Translation Studies during my postgraduate studies. I was also responsible in being the project manager of Sayaka’s 22nd Birthday International Fan Project in 2015 entitled 22 & Thankful. For that project, I also was one of the main translators where I translated a good bulk of the messages for fans from English into Japanese. You can find out more about that project here

    Also, since I’m Malaysian, I will also consider messages written in Malay/Indonesian since I understand it anyway. But preferably English!

    Unfortunately, I can’t commit to doing another birthday project, but through these fan letter translations, I hope I would be able to connect international fans more to Sayaka! Won’t it be great if Sayaka could start receiving more and more fan letters from international fans?? I also sent many letters to Sayaka myself since 2013, so if you have any requests or questions on the sort of content I wrote, where I sent it to etc, feel free to message me here or my Twitter @RainbowRose93

    Or if you have neither of the above but happen to see this post, you can also email me at sy.international48@gmail.com

    You could just write a simple fan letter or maybe even send a postcard to Sayaka of the town you live in, and tell Sayaka a little about it! As Sayaka has been working a lot, she hasn’t had that much opportunity to travel to that many countries. And even if she did, it was mostly for work.

    That’s just an idea! But totally be creative and let your ideas run wild! I’ll be waiting to hear from you!

    Wanna try writing Sayaka a fan letter today? XD
