Just incase anyone is interested or wants her Live goods. The charges are the same as my normal proxy fees posted in S48 shop thread.

 

I don't usually do it (like really only very occasionally) but since this one is probably of high interest to everyone, I decided to translate Sayaka's latest mail about her thoughts and impression from her first live in Nagoya while on tour but with translation only. Sorry I won't be sharing the original because I rather be cautious with that.

Spoiler: Yamamoto Sayaka Mail 3rd November 2016 (Translation Only)

Konbanwanko (Just a play of words with konbanwa/good evening)

Yesterday was the first day of the solo live tour.

And it was just all so crazy.

There were feelings such as anxiety, nervousness and exhilaration.
Just all kinds of feelings welled up within me.
My heart was beating so fast
I couldn’t even keep still
And I was just fidgety and restless the whole time.

But after we had huddled up and I went up on stage
The cheers of support I could hear from just standing on stage
It really gave me a peace of mind.
It also made me become overwhelmed in happiness.
By just telling myself, “There are people here who have been waiting for me”
All my stage fright swiftly faded away.

That moment the curtains fell
The view that had jumped into my sight, the momentum, the feel of the breeze
I could feel that sensation reverberating even down to my cells.
I can’t really express it in words
But it felt as though I was just hallucinating and it was really all just a dream.
Perhaps I could say it was like that.

The first day of the tour was in Nagoya
But as my mum was concerned about me
She couldn’t just stay still and do nothing
So she asked if it was okay if she could come watch me.
And thanks to that, my mum, dad, older sis, and 2nd bro came to watch me!

I talked to them just a little when it was over.
And my older sis told me,
“The moment it started, Mum began crying”

I was happy about that, but to hide my embarrassment
I lightly said back to my mum, “Nandeyanen” (What on earth, what the heck)
But she replied back with her eyes swelled up,
“It’s just everything that has happened up to now all came back to me like shifting scenes in a movie.”

The first time I let my mum listen to “Rainbow Rose”
She had also said to me while crying:
“It’ll be good if the fans can listen to it soon.”
“I’m sure they’ll be very happy about it”

Perhaps it’s because my mum is aging, so her tear glands are getting weaker.
I had thought that.
I think having a mum like that
It’s infectious and perhaps that played a big part in me crying too. Haha.

Being able to chase my dreams like this
I’ve caused trouble and hardships to my parents
So I had felt I needed to return it back with filial piety
Or rather I was wondering if there was something I could do to give back to them.
And so I’m glad I’ve come this far without giving up.

The fact that there are people who rejoice over my achievements together with me
It makes me really really happy!

I got lots and lots of power from that (^_^)v

There’s another 4 more stops on tour!!!!

I’m still pushing on!!

I’ll brush myself up even more and more～～!!!

 

Amazing, thanks a lot

 

The live footage looks so damn good! Really makes me wish I could go and see her ...

@convenience93 Thanks a lot for the translation

 

Finally got my Rainbow CD in the mail yesterday, I expected it to be excellent to great and it met all my expectations,
Minami, Atsuko and Tomo Itano can only dream of making a record this good in terms of overall quality.

If my eyes aren't deceiving me do I see XXL for t-shirts?? I flew into Japan from San Francisco a couple weeks ago for concerts by Ayumi Hamasaki and Leo Ierei and the XL t-shirts sold at the concerts are equal to a L in USA sizes if that. snug t-shirts are no fun!

Whats the best way to order from your service?

 

I must say this might be the best solo release of a 48G singer, no contest. Plus she has a better voice than most others this side of Wasamin.

Wasamin was off the scale by 48G standards, hope she gets a great career too.

 

Does anyone have Sayanee's solo con setlist?

 

@don message me?

Setlist.

 

Happy to see they are together like this for our captain, sayamilky forever :3

 

Yokoyamamoto forever

 

Another one- slightly different

 

For the first time ever, i envied my friend who got to attend her solo live concert. He said that it's like "Taylor Swift concert but thousand times better, plus she can joke!"

 

Huh I always assumed Milky will never be involved with any member's once she graduated. Though Sayaka might be a bit special.

 

Airi Suzuki from C-ute went to see her solo concert. Here is her blog translation.
