I missed you buddy! Where were you?

I have been posting to donor forum and reddit lately (and a little to my blog too). Sakura Gakuin and Babymetal have such a nice communities in reddit. Sometimes posting in jsp feels like fighting against the windmills if you know what I mean.

During the last few days I have been very busy with Sakura Gakuin transfer in ceremony and the online activity with it. They transferred in Sana Shiratori, Kokona Nonaka and Yume Nozaki and so Sakura Gakuin has 12 members once again.


Also Yuzumi Shintani was made the Student Council President instead of Maaya Asou or Marin Hidaka. It was a real surprise and even miss Asou was quite shocked she lost the presidency that was publicly thought of being 99% hers. I'll admit I needed tissues while Maaya was trying her best to fight tears during the naming convention. I guess we'll never get to know her thoughts on that very moment but it surely was a heartwrenching to follow. Luckily she was already better in yesterday's Fresh Episode. And after all I'm sure she'll be stronger because of this as far as I know Maaya's personality. Also, it made me a lot bigger Maanyan-fan than I was before the Sunday.

I also gotta add a honorary mention of how professionally Yuzumi handled the situation mentioned above. According to her own words she thought she wouldn't event get a position in the student council after there was a surprise naming at the beginning (Yoshida Soyoka being the performance chairman). I wonder what she said to Maaya during the opening of My School Days (first song after the naming convention). Maaya's face during that moment and the whole interaction between them is one of those moments that make Sakura Gakuin so precious to me.

Currently I'm sitting at work listening to Sakura Gakuin's 2016 nendo album How are you doing? If you got few minutes please stop by and listen to what I got currently playing while you're writing

Probably the dearest music video from Rinon's presidency. The whole video scene is just genius and it really goes quite deep with it's unspoken language. I might have had an onion cutting ninja problem when I watched this with a thought for the first time (still do sometimes). Also makes me a little sad to see Momoko, Megumi and Aiko here who just recently graduated. I'm just so happy I came across to Sakura Gakuin, their music means so much to me.
