Sakaki Miyu (CUCA) / 1st Generation

I hope cuca had a nice birthday. She looks so cute in that picture. It's crazy that she's already 16, when I first became her fan she was like 10 or 11.

 

God I think I've been a fan for like half her life lol fml I'm old

 

can't believe i forgot her birthday happy belated birthday cuca

at least her japanese fans didn't forget

 

It's a bit late but happy birthday Cuca!!

 

CUCA's dad wrote a letter to her and it was read in the stage yesterday. It was so moving Torochan was crying instantly.

But then when it got to the part where his dad comments "If your health is in bad condition please leave it up to my daughter and take a nice rest!" everyone bursted out in laughters.

To Miyu

Congratulations for your 16th birthday.

It's the first time you have such a cool birthday party, right? You used to celebrate it with the family, eating your mother’s handmade cake.

It’s been about 10 years since you declared “I will become an idol!” and honestly I thought there would come the day you would give up on that, but you really ended up becoming one, you’re amazing.

Last March, when you decided to go from Kagawa to Hiroshima, I’m sure you remember everyone crying loudly in the car.

I can’t forget your determination at that time.

This year you realized you wanted to dance and sing, but also that relying only on those isn’t enough.

But I saw you being serious and giving your very best efforts.

I believe those efforts will bear fruits.

Even as a substitute, even if you can only be seen in a corner of the stage, the way you shine the most is singing and dancing the best you can.

To give energy and courage by watching you like that, that was the kind of idol you wanted to be, right?

There are maniacs who support that kind of idol, even if they are unsocial and unfriendly. They clearly look around strangely and have weird tastes, but they are in abundance here.

Today as well, carrying blue towels and light blue T-shirts, they must be screaming loudly.

Those people who received energy and courage from the best performance you can give, are cheering for you the most they can. Please receive their message the best you can, because you must remember that corresponding to their expectations is your duty as an idol.

All of the members, as well as everyone in the venue [from STU]: you may be unsociable, hard to approach, not charming, a somehow stubborn kusogaki, but you are making your path towards your ideal image of an idol, while worrying, but doing your best.

It will be my pleasure to watch you grow as if you were part of my own family.

The tour hasn’t ended yet, and in Summer you will start your long-awaited boat stages.

The Cuca on top of the stage will power up further, and with high tension you will burst up your spark, so please show everyone what makes you special. You may not be singing as well as you want, but at the stage, you will be always doing your best. No regrets!

Mr. Fujiwara, it’s okay to be strict with my daughter as you lead her. If she’s not doing her best effort, please scold her in behalf of her father.

All the members, please take care of your health. If you don’t feel good, please rely on my daughter and take a break if it’s necessary. My daughter will be delighted to offer you as much as a can of coffee.

Please don’t waste any food. Your father and brother are watching over for you from Kagawa.

Every morning, we will make sure you give your “good mo~rning” with your disheveled hair and low tension. If there are any events nearby, we will go cheer for you.

It’s still impossible for me to yell the “tiger something” but I’ll practice. Because I’ll be having fun as the number one STU fan. Please have fun as well and good luck. Lastly, I want to thank the staff members and STU fans that held this seitansai. Thank you very much.

From your father

By the way, is Cuca's mother still living with her? I remember she sometimes was beside her while streaming.

 

Oh man I started getting the tears in my eyes lol esp when he spoke of her realizing just singing and dancing ability wouldn’t be enough.

Stubborn and unsociable...that describes Cuca well, but I like those traits ahaha I guess I’m one of the maniac fans!

Thank you for the translation

 

Ah that letter was so cute her dad is awesome!!

I think her mother is with her in hiroshima (if that's where she is)

 

I'm not crying YOU ARE CRYING
Oh damn her dad's letter is truly cute and amazing, I love how he scolds her a bit too
The part when he says "Even as a substitute, even if you can only be seen in a corner of the stage, the way you shine the most is singing and dancing the best you can.", it broke me. But we believe in Cuca! And oh yeah we maybe are a bunch of people who may have weird taste...

Thanks for the translation!

 

Got pretty teary-eyed at some parts, but I had to laugh when he talked about the chants as "tiger something"
Do your best Cuca's dad as to chant together with the wotas haha

 

CUCA and Hinachan on Yamaguchi TV program


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

I had a 2-shot ticket today for Cuca but when I arrived at her lane at the start of the slot there was a definite lack of activity and I wondered if perhaps she hadn’t showed up? The problem was not with her, she’d turned up on time, it was simply that there was a distinct lack of fans to see her. This sadly surprised me as she’d had many fans shouting for her at the 2 concerts I went to last week.

There was though good news for me - I was guaranteed a cheki and a couple of minutes with her. At first she didn’t seem to remember me from the high wave after last week’s concerts but I was able to explain to her and she then understood and remembered.



As you can see from the image she took a lot of time and care over her writing, and although generally I’m not a fan of cheki, Cuca made it look very pretty and it’s a nice souvenir.

Indeed Cuca herself is very pretty especially when you can see her close-up! She was very friendly but had very limited English. However I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting and I hope so much that her popularity will greatly improve very soon.

 

I'm personally hoping for a breakthrough like your oshi Ogiyuka - not exactly a high jump on SSK, but that Cinderella story of the girl who had always wanted to be an idol and strived in the sidelines before achieving spotlight.

 

This is actually now the great time to be a true CUCA fan.

 

Cuca's SSK appeal video:


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

Natto power

 

She forgot to take a bite lol

At least she is really positive coming into this event

 

Her confidence in her appeal video has gone up a crazy amount compared to last year this time!

Not too sure about her natto focus this year tho lol

Thank you david61 for visiting Cuca
