It's Cocona ❀

Yesterday I made my first radio appearance (Ebi-chū hōsō-bu) !



I was so nervous, but acting in the drama part was the most fun !

I was so happy to hear Hina-chan sing live next to me
I was a little nervous when she suddenly stood up, but I'll try to be like her soon !



My dad took me to Tsukiji the other day and he took this
The sushi was delicious and made me want to live there so badly

That's all !
Lessons for the Famien !
Fighting p(^^)q

Hi, it's Cocona ❀


The July issue of B.L.T. is on sale today !
I really hope you all get a chance to see it !



It was my first time shooting for a magazine.
I was so nervous but they took great photos of me in my natural state !
I'm happy



We had a great time playing Sazae-san (Sazae-san is manga released between 1946 and 1974), with me as Sazae-chan, Nonoka as Wakame, and Yuno as Katsuo



But only in the game of musical chairs, everyone is really fighting.
I wonder who won !




See you again next week !

Hello !
It's Sakuragi Cocona, attendance number 13 of Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku ❀




This is my first appearance on the Stapla blog, so I'll briefly introduce myself

I was born on September 14, 2005, I'm AB type and left-handed
My favorite foods are raw oysters, meat, and cold noodles !
My favorite meat is striped bass.
I've recently become addicted to 'mekabu' (thick wakame -seaweed- leaves, from near the stalk) which my father gave me.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to eat 'mekabu' !

I'm good at balancing, and I can curl my legs !
I get the whites of my eyes on a daily basis !

Our first live performance in front of you will be at Famien in Red Brick Warehouse on August 21st !
Heee ! I'm so looking forward to it !
Though I'm anxious ! But I'm nervous !
But I'm still looking forward to it !
I can't wait to meet you !
I hope you'll come.



I've been dreaming of doing this for a long time, and now I have an official personal Instagram ( ‘∀’)
I'd like to send you all happy posts without forgetting my gratitude, so please take a peek !
Don't just peek !
Please follow me too lol

The morning chime has rang !
I'm Sakuragi Cocona, attendance number 13 in Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku ❀



The day before yesterday, a YouTube video was uploaded showing the shooting of the new fresh photos and introducing the Famien goods !
Please check it out 👁
My favorite part is the outfit coordinates in member colors



And THEFIRSTTAKE has had a total of over 2 million views in two videos !!! Congratulations !
They are singing with strength and love, so please take a look !!

A wonderful and important hashtag invented by Aya.
＃One day, we'll make the jump.
＃いつか必ずジャンプしよ
Let's think of it as a training period before we jump, and let's jump with all our might at Famien !

I'm going to have a lot of fun at Famien, but I'm going to have to take care of myself ( ‘ω’ )
If I get carried away, I can easily get dehydrated or something, so I'm going to build up a lot of strength while I can.



Well then

Hello It's Sakuragi Cocona !



Famien has been cancelled.
I'm really sorry for those who were looking forward to it.

For the past three months, I've been practicing a lot with Yuno and Nonoka, learning a lot of songs from the teachers and the members.

But...
I'm so disappointed that my first debut live is not at Famien
However, some members and staff were infected with the coronavirus and we were worried about whether we could do it under these circumstances.
I think the most important thing is to recover completely and perform well with all the Ebichu members !
Kaho, Riko, Hina, Mirei, and Nonoka, I really hope you all get well soon

I'm hoping that the 9 of us will be able to perform with smiles on our faces again next year.



It's been cancelled, but we'll be holding a 28-hour distribution on August 21 (Sat) 14:30 - 22 (Sun) 18:30 !
I'll be there ! (งД)ง
We want to have fun with you all and make this the best summer ever !
Please come !

And we will be selling Famien official goods by mail order ! Starting from 19:00.

The music video of the new song "Earphone Riot" has been shown briefly



The song is out now, but can you guess which part I'm singing ?
I can't wait to perform Earphone Riot in front of you all and go wild with you !



Please take care of your health carefully
So long !

Hello ! It's Cocona from Ebichu !
I'm going to show you the secret photos from Stapla Fes !













It was my first time to attend Stapla Fes, and I had a great time talking with many people from different groups

And I was so happy to be able to perform my favorite songs "Uretai Emtion", "Ai no Rental", "Super Hero" and "Sudden Death" !
I was nervous when I sang Sudden Death, but I tried my best to put Hina-chan's feelings into it ! (*´○`)o¶♪

And Ebichu is going to have live performances for Dai Gakugeikai on 12/27 and 12/28 !

Happy New Year !
It's Cocona



Here are some offshots from "Momoiro Uta Gassen" !





It was fun practicing with Hina-chan, Aira-chan, and Kaaya-chan !
I'm just glad we got to perform safely and with smiles on our faces !
Also ! I was really happy to be able to dance to my favorite "Twice" song !
After all, dance is fun !! I like it !

I fell down the stairs with my stilt boots early in the New Year.
It hurt like hell !
I went to Disney Sea in winter and had fun in the snow, ate buttered miso ramen, and enjoyed winter to the fullest !!



I hope you all enjoy the winter and don't catch a cold

I'm Sakuragi Cocona, the navel-baring mermaid from Ebichu, attendance number 13 ‍𓈒𓂂𓏸



So, thank you to everyone who came to the "Ebichu Members Only Fan Appreciation Day 2022", and to everyone who watched the live broadcast !
During the solo songs corner, it was difficult for me to sing while dancing by myself, but I loved this song, so I was happy to perform it
It was a song choice that suited each of us, me, Yuno and Nonoka !
But I'd like to be an idol who can take on various challenges without being fixed on one thing



And there was Valentine's Day



I ate a lot of chocolate this year !!
I got them from all the staff, and I bought a bunch for myself too !

It's only on days like this that you can eat so much, right ? lol
It's a great day for chocolate lovers !

One day, I'd like to have a special event where I can hand out handmade chocolates to everyone.
It doesn't have to be chocolate, it can be dried sweet potatoes !
I wish everyone would eat this.

Grandma, Grandpa, and I made dried sweet potatoes
They are really good !!!
Well, it would be nice if such a special event could happen.

https://fortunemusic.jp/ebichu_202203_main/

This time, there will be an online special event with an online talk session and a two-shot session !!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing you all again, and I'd like to talk a lot with people I've never met before.

By all means !



All right, then !

Hello !
It's a holiday weekend starting today !
What will you all do ?



I went to cram school in the morning, and when I was waiting to be picked up on the way home, an old man said to me,

" Excuse me. Is there a place to have tea around here ?
I'm new here, so... I couldn't find a place around here "

and I couldn't answer him right away.

So I felt like I should know more about where I live ! lol
There are so many good things about Ibaraki !



So ! If you're coming to Ibaraki for Ebichu's spring tour, I'm waiting for you !
I hope you get to eat lots of good food !

I had a chilled "Stamina Ramen Matsugoro" the other day and it was so good, lots of veggies and liver in a sweet and spicy sauce !
They go so well with the cold noodles !
I highly recommend it !

Well then !

I was shy and had a hard time opening up to anyone, but Hina-chan was able to get inside my mind and I was so spoiled by her.
Hina-chan is a big part of my life, letting me hug her whenever I can, letting me sit on her lap, letting me stay at her house, and giving me advices

It hasn't been a year since I joined, but I am so grateful to have met my senpai named Kashiwagi Hinata
I wish I could be a senpai like Hina-chan.
I love Hina-chan.

Please be with me a lot for the remaining time !

Good evening !
This is Cocona

Thank you very much for "Idol Square" today




I was nervous but it was a very fun gig
I did my best !

While performing, I was thinking that I've never had such a good experience !
I even put on Hina-chan's earrings
I wonder if some of you noticed ?

And I felt again that I miss Yuno & Nonoka
But I did get a shout out on 'LINE' !
Thanks !!

From then on, it's the spring tour !!
We'll be waiting for you in Niigata !
Can't wait to see the complete 9-nin Ebichu !

See you soon (^o^)

Hello !



It's coconut season !

Is everyone feeling okay in this heat ?
Don't forget to stay hydrated and salted at work, school, and at gigs !
If it's hot, take out your navel and cool your belly !



And at the end of such a hot season...
What a surprise !!
On 9/16 at Ebisu The Garden Hall, my birthday solo live will be held !

It has been about a year since I joined Ebichu.
I'm very anxious and already nervous about doing my first solo live performance...
But I want to make it a live that will remain in the hearts of everyone who comes, not to mention our Ebichu Family members
Please come witness it !

http://www.shiritsuebichu.jp/official/s ... html#10653

The birthday solo live title may or may not have a deeper meaning...
I'll be waiting for you !!!!

If you have any songs you'd like me to perform, please let me know !
Well then !

Wow. A year already...

Hello !



To all those who came to the send-off meeting today

Spoiler

(I guess she's talking about the final day of Ebichu's Karaoke and Bowling collaboration with Round 1 maybe, which is today)

Thank you very much !

Hinata, Po-chan and I, it was a rare occasion for the 3 of us here !
It was so much fun !
Everyone sent us hearts and wrote messages on paper, and I learned how fun it is to be face to face !!!



And...
I've secretly started a countdwon for my birthday solo live.
Oh my !!!
There are only 60 days left !!!!!!
I don't really feel like there are 60 days left.

I decided on songs, but after singing and dancing to them, I decided it wasn't right and stopped.
And then I added others...

Since this is my first birthday solo live, I'd like to make it the best live performance by worrying a lot, making it right, and putting my life on the line.
Please look forward to it

I'm excited !
Well then !!

Hello !
This is Cocona !



To everyone who came to Famien 2022 !!!
Thank you so much ☺ ️

It was my first Famien, my first time to have such a short rehearsal period, and my first time to walk on walkway through the audience to the stage, and I was so anxious !!!
The moment I saw the smiles on everyone's faces, I got high and my adrenaline was maxed out, and I felt that I had so much fun that the corners of my mouth hurt afterwards !!!

It was really great !
But I didn't expect to get soaked like that !! lol

And with all that being said, I did enjoy my first Famien !!
I hope you had a great time, Ebichu Family ??!



Even though Famien is over, the fever hasn't died down yet !
From here on, there will be the 2Man versus live performances and my birthday solo live ...!!!
There's still a lot to look forward to !!

Even if you can't come, please give me lots of support !
I'm feeling your energy !



Well then !!!

[Ifold]

" Sakuragi Cocona's handwritten letters to Ebichu fans were carefully and meticulously written on 4 sheets of letterhead.
I'll keep them as a treasured possession, but my heart's happy capacity is not enough to keep them to myself, so please read them.

Once again, happy 17th birthday !!!
I am so looking forward to the future !!!! "





Dear Ebichu Family.

Thank you for coming to my birthday solo live today !
I would like to thank you all now and tell you a little about my journey so far.

I was a shy, competitive girl who was often spoiled only in front of my mom when I was little and would fly into a frenzy when other people made nice to me.
I was such an unfriendly girl, but that all changed when I discovered dancing at the age of 6.
I started dancing under the influence of my older sister, but I remember that at first I had no sense at all and often annoyed my teacher because I was so clumsy.

But thanks to dance, I was exposed to a lot of music and came to love expressing myself.
Then, when I was in fifth grade, I tried solo dancing.
You don't just do it because you like it, but you have to constantly fight against others.
This was a battle with myself and a new challenge for me



When I participated in solo contests, the results were not good at all, and I sometimes felt bad because there were so many good participants even if I practiced.
But I feel myself becoming more and more determined not to lose and definitely win.
I was able to win the contest that I challenged myself to win !!!

That's when I learned that hard work leads to results !
I had always been a dancer, but I started to admire sparkling girls like AKB48 and TWICE, and I strongly wanted to shine on TV.
At that time, Stardust found me and I started my career in show business in the 6th grade of elementary school.

I was a member of DANJYO for about 2 years.
The friends I met and the things I learned there were huge for me.
I experienced many firsts, such as dancing in a new genre, trying my hand at rapping, and having important fans.
I learned a lot, and these 2 years were my youth.



I promised my fans that I would definitely stand on stage again at the split-up live, so I had not given up on my dream.

But after the split, I kept failing auditions, and when I couldn't see any light at all, I found the way to audition for Ebichu, and I knew that I couldn't think of a life other than being an idol.
Now, I really love Ebichu and want to protect it and take it to the next level.

When BOSS told me during the audition that it would be even harder after joining Ebichu, I didn't really imagine what I would be going through at the time, but right after I moved in, it was a series of trials and tribulations.
The first few months were hard for me, as I had to learn how to make my voice sound better, how to be more attractive as an idol, how to talk on the radio, how to exist as Ebichu, and so on.
However, I gained a lot from my classmates Yuno and Nonoka, and I think I changed a lot after joining Ebichu.
I feel that Ebichu is a place that helped me grow as a human being.

I am going through a lot of hardships right now, but I still love my funny and kind sister members, Yuno & Nonoka, the staff, the Ebichu Family, and I still want to do my best.



And with the addition of (a) new member(s), I would like to create a brighter future.
I will pass on to the new member(s) what Hina-chan wanted to convey and what she has taught me over the past year.

And !!
Above all, I would like to thank the Ebichu Family for welcoming me so warmly and accepting me into Ebichu.

Thank you !
I am not very good at putting my feelings into words.
But from now on, I will express my gratitude to everyone through singing and dancing !
Please take it well !

Thank you for your continued support ♡

Sakuragi Cocona
