#hope 2019 treats you well
“I’m gonna make Love Live! the best thing that ever happened to you!”
Hello once again I’m Saito Shuka, the voice of Watanabe You.
I heard we were writing letters, but somehow I’m not thinking about what I should be writing at all (laugh). I guess I’m just dumping my thoughts out like “bam!” as I go along.
I don’t talk about myself much, but I think I should every once in a while.
I think it was high school, when I was introduced to Love Live! through SIF.
From then on, I started to really like Love Live!. I got pretty obsessed because I loved Nico-chan so much.
It was touching to see a girl my age trying her hardest.
Then time passed, and I was introduced to Love Live! Sunshine!! and You-chan, something I never dreamed would happen.
Upon meeting You-chan, my life did a complete 360*, and then I met you, the person currently reading this letter.
*(Note: She meant to say 180 but she said 360 instead. Later got made fun of for this on Uraraji :’))
I’ll never forget when I stood on the stage at Mielparque as You-chan for the first time.
I didn’t want to forget to the point that I made a memo on my phone to remember the various emotions I was feeling.
In the memo, I wrote “I want to pay everyone back little by little, in different ways. Also, I’m going to give lots of love to everyone in return.” Was I able to pay everyone back little by little? Was I able to give everyone lots of love?
Three years have passed and now we’re beginning our fourth year together. I’m trying to convey the feelings I had during those three years.
Or should I say, I’m writing this right now to reach you (laugh). Well, I’ve received sooooooo much love from you guys, it’s about to overflow.
Thank you.
To be honest, the phrase “thank you” isn’t enough to fully convey how I feel. I always think about how it would be better if we had a word even more powerful than “thank you” (laugh). I’m truly grateful.
And I think it’d be nice if we could both continue to build a good relationship with each other. Please continue to treat us well. It’s because of you guys that we can keep performing.
That’s why, I want to see more and more stories come true as Aqours. Let’s create new stories together from now on. I’m gonna make Love Live! the best thing that ever happened to you! I’ll be in your care ☆
