I hope we can meet again someday









Takai Rika here 🎠







As was announced,
the cancellation of Hinata Fes 2026 has been announced.







To all the staff members 
who spent such a long time preparing so much for this festival,


to everyone in Miyazaki 
who came up with so many collaborations and projects, and worked wholeheartedly to make Hinata Fes as exciting as possible,


and to all Ohisamas 
who had been looking forward to it so much and were planning to take time out of their busy lives to come and see us


I’m truly filled with feelings of disappointment and frustration.
I really wanted to share the best possible ending to this summer with everyone in Miyazaki.







Although the event has been cancelled, that doesn’t mean all the time we’ve spent building up to this together simply disappears.

We went through countless rehearsals, created the performances and attractions we had planned from scratch, came up with collaborative food products, and made all kinds of preparations so that everyone could enjoy themselves.

“What kind of reactions will the fans have, I wonder?”
“Will they be happy when they see this? ( .ˬ. )”
Even the time we spent preparing while imagining all of you is, to me, a precious memory.

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to actually share these things with you as we had hoped. But I truly believe that the time we spent together, working toward creating something as one, was never wasted. It is something irreplaceable.







Because this was caused by the weather, I know that no one is to blame, and I understand that, when it comes to everyone's safety, it simply couldn't be helped.

Even so, I just can't make the feeling of wanting to see all of you go away.
The more time and effort we put into preparing, and the more we had been looking forward to it, the more disappointing and frustrating it feels.


For us in the 5th Gens, this year Hinata Fes was going to be our first time taking part.
We had been eagerly looking forward to it, watching footage of our seniors' performances from past festivals and videos of the parades. Since it's different from an ordinary live concert, there were special festival-exclusive elements and surprises, and I was really looking forward to showing them all to you.
Because this would have been our very first Hinata Fes, we wanted to create once-in-a-lifetime memories that could only be made in that place. Not only for ourselves, but also for everyone who supports us. That's why I can't help but feel disappointed that things turned out this way.


I'm sure many of our fans are feeling just as disappointed as we are, perhaps even more so. I think it's okay to feel upset as much as you need to right now. It's only natural to have feelings that you can't fully process.

But I believe that someday, we will be able to meet again in Miyazaki.










I believe that the day will come when we can share smiles and laughter with everyone in Miyazaki, and bring everything to a happy close together!!




















Let’s meet again in Miyazaki someday!!

Sincerely, Izukichi

Yahokichi Shimoda Izuki here. Thank you so much for the miguri m(_ _)m I’m really happy that the 17th single period brought me so many wonderful encounters! It seems like our warm, warm community of Roomies is growing too, and that makes me really happy (˶' ᵕ ' ˶) I often get asked, “Can I become a Roomies too?” ...Like, what do you mean?!!!! If you’re already interested in me, then you’re already a Roomies! 👍🏻‪♡♡ From here, I want to talk a little about my thoughts! The Senbatsu lineup for the 18th single was announced recently on Hinatazaka de Aimashou, right?! I didn't make into the cut this time, but I don’t want all of you to take it too negatively either. I know it’s not easy to change the way you think about something so quickly. I’m the same way, so I understand... This time too, I took a little time to sort through my feelings before putting them into words. So, even if it takes a little time, I want you to spend each day smiling with me. Hiragana Hinatazaka46 ha...

I'm smiling just fine

Recently on Hinatazaka de Aimashou,  both the formation and the Senbatsu lineup for Hinatazaka46’s 18th single were announced. To be honest, it’s really difficult to put into words how I feel about the announcement this time.  To put it simply, I was disappointed. After the Senbatsu announcement was over, plenty of emotions came rushing over me that I couldn’t stop crying. I cried so much that even I was surprised, and my tears made it difficult for me to see what was in front of me. I found myself thinking about everything I had worked hard on during the 17th single period, the things I wanted to work even harder on from here, and how far there still is between the person I want to become and who I am right now. I’m frustrated, and it hurts. Of course, I understand that being chosen as Senbatsu member isn’t everything.  But precisely because I have the ambition to show all of you even more wonderful scenery, I truly regret not being able to make into the cut this time. S...

Let’s update ourselves and make meringue

Spin, spin… Rattle, rattle, rattle… Pop!! Ta-da!      ∧＿∧           ╭◜◝ ◜◝ ◜◝ ╮ ‎꒰ ˶ ɞ̴̶̷ ༝ ɞ̴̶̷ ˶꒱ .oO Giving it my all with you, right here, right now! ‎ /づ~‎◝✨       ╰◟◞ ◟◞ ◟◞ ╯ From Kanagawa, 21 years old  Hinatazaka46 5th Ge, Matsuo Sakura here. Thank you, truly, truly, truly, for opening my blog. I want everyone who always supports me,  as well as the future Ohisamas I haven’t met yet,  to have days overflowing with happiness. The formation for the 18th single “Icha Icha Mushi,” which will be released on September 30, was announced the other day. I’ll be promoting it as a senbatsu member. I was able to successfully complete the run of the 17th single, and that was only possible because of all your love and support. Thank you so much. For this single, my position and my pairing are both different from last time, so it feels like I’ve jumped into a whole new world. Now that I’ve been chosen, I want to ma...
