Good evening everyone!
Good evening!
We are the unit limited to the period of growth, Sakura Gakuin!
Nice to meet you!
Well, at last this day has come.
Yes!
The Road to Graduation 2015...
ready, set...
Final!
Yeah!
Ah... today it's the final...
I see really a lot of people wearing suits, really... amazing!
Amazing, isn't it. Thank you very much. Thank you!
I can see you perfectly!
Yes.
I feel that the ratio of suits is increasing
That's right
The level of awareness is pretty high...
Yes! Thank you very much!
Then, please let us briefly introduce ourselves.
Starting from Momoko.
All right, I'm Okazaki Momoko, 1st year of middle school
I'm Yoshida Soyoka, 5th grader of elementary school
I'm Yamaide Aiko, 1st year of middle school
I'm Fujihira Kano, 5th grader of elementary school
I'm Okada Megumi, 1st year of middle school
I'm Hidaka Marin, 6th grader of elementary school [nice to meet...]
I'm Kurashima Sara, 2nd year of middle school
I'm Asou Maaya, 6th grader of elementary school
I'm Kurosawa Mirena, 2nd year of middle school
I'm Education Chairman Ooga Saki, 3rd year of middle school
I'm Student Council President Isono Rinon, 3rd year of middle school
I'm Talk Chairman Shirai Saki, 3rd year of middle school
That's all. Today as well, with these 12 members, we are growing and full of energy. Please treat us kindly.
All right. Wow... at last, the day has come.
Yeah, exactly.
It was quick... yes, it was.
Yes. But talking about this live show,
It's amazing... together with last year's graduation ceremony,
and the event held in December during this school year,
which was the live show for the 5th anniversary, following these events,
this live show will be broadcast live in movie theaters throughout the country!
Yeeahh!
Thank you very much. We're truly happy for this.
Kanagawa Kenmin Hall is such a big venue,
and there's lots of fukei-san here, but
there's also the live viewing, being watched by so many fukei-san
I feel a bit nervous, but I'm also happy.
Exactly. That's right.
Now... Oh, I'm sorry I'm sorry...
It's OK.
What's the matter? What happened?
It's OK, it's OK.
OK? It's all right.
The thing that just happened here, I've hit Soyo's mic by mistake
Thinking that this will show at the movie theatre too...
Isn't that a weird feeling?
Right, that's weird.
Truly that's amazing.
It feels like we are in the same place together with the fukei from all over Japan.
I'm really happy for this.
Yes. Thank you very much!
Those people who came to see Sakura Gakuin for the first time might be a little surprised,
but in Sakura Gakuin, the moment you graduate from middle school, you must also graduate from the group.
That's an iron-bound rule, therefore today we three 3rd year members will graduate from the group.
Yes.
So, what are the feelings of these three members right now?
Honestly speaking, I don't have a real feeling of this at all...
Huh?
Even if I'm asked about my feelings now...
That's right!
For me too... before I was standing on this stage I didn't have a real feeling of this at all
But once I was standing here on stage, like every year when I see all the fukei-san wearing suits
I think, this year the moment has come again.
Yes, this is what happens, really.
Time goes fast!
Well, anyway today I'd like to achieve "perfect combustion"
All right! I'll do my best!
So that we won't lose to them, the current students will give their best too!
Yes! We'll give our best!
With this spirit, today really all the members are motivated.
Yes!
You're all fired up as well, aren't you?
OK.
Thank you very much. Impressive.
Everyone is motivated, so... I'd like to hear your voices more!
Yes!
First, everyone sitting on the 2nd and 3rd floors!
Are you ready to enjoy the show?
Thank you very much!
That's nice.
Then, next... everyone sitting on the 1st floor
You can still let us hear your voice more!
Amazing!
All right. Thank you very much.
And then also... did I catch you off guard?
All the watchers of the Live Viewing!
More, more!
Won't you get into this excited mood even more?
Yeeahh!
We could hear you! That was perfect!
Thank you very much!
Then, last...
Fukei-san from all over Japan,
More, more, more! Are you ready to enjoy the show?
Now that we've got a lot of power from people all over Japan, I'd like to proceed to the next song.
The next song is... this!

You do, right?
Oh, I'm glad!
Therefore, everyone please by all means get this glass!

Yes! In this last photo set, the members graduating from elementary school Maaya and Marin,
and those who are graduating from middle school and Sakura Gakuin, the three 3rd year members
There's solo shots of these five graduating members, and this set has also the very last group shot for this school year's members.
Therefore I'd really like everyone to buy this photo set, but...

But, after the graduation ceremony is over, we can quickly run to the staff room teachers

Omelette rice was delicious!
Wasn't it? That was cute.
That was a delicious meal.
Thanks for the meal. We actually didn't have any, though...
All right. We had the privilege of showing our club activities here.
Everyone, did you like it?
Oh, thank you very much!
All right! First of all, the Purchasing Club
Yeah.
This year too, they used the bazooka during the interlude...
Yes.
Then the Go Home Club, in the interlude they did the word association while doing leapfrogs
We challenged ourselves to do new things.
Exactly.
Yes. Well, these were our club activities this year.
Here, I think, talking about this year, we could try and review some past events a bit.
Everyone, aren't you curious to hear a bit of inside information about us?
Oohh. Good.
All right. So...
I think we could ask everyone to tell some inside stories about our music videos.
To begin with, are there some about the music video of Mathematica?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Then...
Saki chan!
Yes!
I'm sorry.
Well... during the intro part of Mathematica,
there was a scene where we ate sweets.
Yeah.
Er... Mirena said "soon it's time for snacks"
That time, we ate sweets together
2015 nendo had just started, so it was the first experience for the transfer students.
They were really happy to eat such things during the filming.
Yeah, that's right.
Basically, we are eating in many videos this year, right?
Like in Kirameki no Kakera... yes, we eat several things.
That's true.
But then we were also anxious about the staff room teachers
Exactly.
Just a little bit, when the teachers were absent, we stealthily ate things
Yes, we did.
Wait... the staff teachers can hear this.
Well you know, for us three that's irrelevant right now!
That's horrible!
You are revealing too much!
Hey!
That's so mean!
Stop, we'll really get in trouble!
In the future, I feel there won't be eating scenes anymore.
Oh no!
Really...
Yes.
Well, that was it.
Then next, is there anything from the Kirameki no Kakera or School Days videos?
Did anything leave an impression?
Hmm...
Sara?
When we did the filming for Kirameki no Kakera, we went to the seaside.
And the sand entered inside our shoes really a lot.
Yes...
And it didn't go away
Exactly
That left a strong impression.
And that time, after that, even at LoGiRL,
all the time the sand from the beach kept coming from our shoes.
That's true!
With that clink clink sound.
Exactly!
So in a way this sand is a memory, like Kirameki no Kakera [shards of glitter]
I'm sorry, wait a minute please
That's right.
Wait a minute! It's sand, a fair amount of sand.
That doesn't quite match!
Right.
And I thought I said a good one
It was, a little bit. A little. You tried to show off.
Well then
We have all these memories, but talking about our activities,
we appear every week at a regular program,
we do a live broadcast at LoGiRL...
Are there any inside stories about LoGiRL?
Oh. Rinon-chan.
Yes, it's about the recent final episode
During the last episode for this school year, all 12 members appeared on LoGiRL
Yes.
About Mori Sensei, the plan was making him eat a huge quantity of sushi with wasabi inside
Yes.
But eventually we three as well, the 3rd year members like, we were intrigued
You ate it.
Yes, we ate it.
And then... there was really an extraordinary amount of wasabi
Yes! Furthermore, the color of the wasabi was yellow
Exactly.
We thought it was just wasabi,
but it was together with grated daikon radish, chili pepper and mustard,
like, there was everything mixed in that
Yes.
It was terrible, really...
Such quantity of wasabi...
Ah!
Welcome back!
-Sorry for interrupting... -Don't worry, it's fine.
I don't think I've ever eaten such quantity of wasabi at once.
Probably.
But after that, Mori-sensei, since it was the last show for that school year,
You know?
He bought ice cream for us!
We ate it right?
Yes, we did.
What about that? Yamaide Ice-san
What about that? That's her new name.
It was really good, and also...
Er... saying it was more than they could eat, someone gave me more.
Megu gave it to Aiko!
Kano gave some too!
I wanted to eat it, but I gave it to you.
You got a lot! Quite a bit!
But wasn't Aiko on ice cream restriction?
Yes, when we did the live show in February, she said, she'd be on an ice cream ban
but asking the staff room teachers, it seems that she had broken the ice cream ban in February.
Soyo saw it!
Aiko! Soyo says she saw it too!
Before that, she ate ice cream together with Megu.
We ate strawberry gelato together, didn't we.
Yes, we saw it!
You know... if you all talk together, they can't hear what you say!
Really, I can't understand.
We wanted to talk a bit too much.
OK. To summarize, Aiko gave up her ice cream ban.
That's right.
I'm sorry.
Well, we also have lots of memories about such trivial things.
Surely, also together with the fukei-san, having fun together at live shows and events,
I think during this year we made a lot of memories together with the fukei.
Yes. We are truly grateful for that.
Thank you very much.
All right.
Yes. But still the live show goes on.
After this, I'd like to proceed to the next song
Then, the next song. Marin, please introduce it.
Yes. All right, for the next song, together with the fukei-san,
I'd like to get lost in a mysterious land.
Please listen to... Sleep Wonder!
何気のない日々 晴れた日曜日
普通ばっかの日常 つまんないよ
目の前走ってく白いうさぎ見つけた
揺れる小さな丸いしっぽ追ってみよう
ねぇここはいったいどこなの？
絵の具のような鮮やかな世界
あぁ心地いい歌 聞こえてきて
思わず一緒に歌っていたよ
きらめいてるファンタジ — なワ — ルド
退屈さは感じる暇もない
絵本の中覗いてるような
気分でなにして次は遊ぼう
ハ — トもダイヤも
スペ — ドもクロ — バ — も御一緒に！
小さな甘いクッキ — 食べて大きくなった
「ごめんね！」また困らせちゃったみたい
大人には分かんない秘密の世界で
好き放題はしゃいではめ外す
もう帰り道もわからない
深い森で泣き虫な私
あぁ いたずらな猫は言った
「幸せはほんの些細なこと」って
ありえないくらいおかしなスト — リ —
見慣れていた景色は消えたの？
幼い頃から願ってた夢
叶ったのになぜか淋しいよ
紅い瞳で怪しく微笑んだのは誰？
ホントそろそろ帰らないと
みんな心配しちゃうからね
でも、どっち行けばいいの？
みんな心配しちゃうからね
まあ、それはキミ次第なんじゃない？
え〜！それじゃ答えになってない
どっち行きたいか分かんないなら
どっちの道へ行ったって、たいした違いはないよ
それでも私にはいきたい場所があるの
道が分からなくても、帰りたいの
教えて
知らん
だから教えて
え〜、知らん
教えろ〜
わたし呼ぶ声 扉の向こう側から
きらめいてるファンタジ — なワ — ルド
不思議な事件 沢山の出会いも
オレンジ色に染まったいつもの部屋
少しほっとした気分で眺めた
あくびしながら足に残る泥を見つけて
そっとありがとうって微笑んだ
ハ — トをつなげたら
キラキラ輝く地球
夢見るこの想いは
輝くパズルの piece
眠い目をこすりながら
ゆっくり階段を降りたら
見知らぬ場所
うさぎの紳士が跳ね回る
虹に浮かび上がるドア
夢を見せる バブル・ガム
ガラスの靴を履いて出掛けよう
イメ — ジは実現すると信じたら
叶うの ウィンク！ するだけで
泣き出した 空の色
いつだって そばにある
どこにいたって同じ
月が浮かぶ creamy sky
マシュマロの雲の上
寝転んで見降ろした
この世界は so fun
きらめく ハ — トの地球
ご機嫌取りのピエロが
近づいてくるたび思うの
こどもじゃない
やめて 取り扱いに注意
一人前のレディは
どういう時に泣くの？
湖のほとりで夢を歌う
別に笑わせて欲しいわけじゃないわ
お願い 優しく 見守って
約束よ 離れたら
心細くなるけど
悲しみに暮れないで
応援してるから
宝物を集めた
オルゴ — ルを開いて
確かめた絆
みんなの ハ — トの地球
ハ — トをつなげたら
キラキラ輝く地球
夢見るこの想いは
輝くパズルの piece
願い事を食べてしまう
イジワルな monsters
守ってみせるよ
誰にも惑わされないで
楽しい 冒険の旅をしよう
大丈夫 目を閉じて
いつだって ここにある
離れていても 同じ
夢が浮かぶ creamy sky
泣き出した 空の色
いつだって そばにある
どこにいたって 同じ
月が浮かぶ creamy sky
マシュマロの雲の上
寝転んで見降ろした
この世界は so fun
きらめく夢 ハ — トの地球
Thank you very much!
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Well, there really aren't many opportunities for us 3rd year members to remain alone.
Surely, the 3rd year members alone in such a big stage...
It was only at the graduation ceremony.
'Was'... you say?
Oops, I said it in the past.
But, we third year members, despite appearances, we joined the group in different school years
I joined the group in 2013 nendo
[* changes from informal to formal]
I joined in 2012 nendo
I joined the group in 2011 nendo.
For me they are senpai, even though we are the same age.
At first, really... we weren't that close
Yes.
It's not that we were on bad terms!
Of course not.
But honestly, we weren't close either.
That's true...
The fact that we didn't talk much might be the reason we're not so close
But honestly speaking, before this nendo... we didn't talk almost at all.
That's right.
Despite the fact that we were the same age,
I would have never expected that it would end like this
Yes.
But... surely, once we were 3rd year members, I feel we could strengthen our bond.
Exactly.
That's right. What's more, recently, at a school trip, we three,
actually, we went on a trip for a photo album.
And we really had a lot of fun!
This kind of atmosphere between us started to come out
I thought, "Why didn't we get along earlier!"
Yes, it's really unique.
In 2nd year, if we could have met our future selves
Wouldn't we be really surprised?
That's right.
But in a way, now that I come to think of it...
I think we're the most intimate among the 3rd year members up to now.
We have confidence. Indeed. I'm confident.
All right.
This song we three will sing...
actually it's included in the album released on the 3rd of March
Today, I'd like to introduce this song that we 3rd year members will sing.
Yes!
This song is really packed with Sakura Gakuin's daily life, therefore
Everyone, by all means, please pay attention to the lyrics.
Then, please listen to...
Michi Shirube
切り過ぎた前髪揺らす
キラリ春の風が吹く
胸の奥のアルバムに
大切な仲間の笑顔がいっぱい
ぐんぐん背が伸びるように
お互い高め合ったよね
目と目合わせながら
まっ白なこの心で
奏でた夢の音
本気の希望を咲かせた日々
だってひとりじゃ何も出来なかった
ちゃんと前向くみんなを見てたから
ここに辿り着いた
この世界に生まれて
居なくていい人はいない
枝も葉も花も繋がりあって
大きい木へと育ってく
ル — ズリ — フに書いた
未完成のものがたり
ひとりひとりが続き描いて
そこからまた始まる、未来地図
跳び箱を越えるみたいに
不安乗り越えたかった
だけど5ミリでも上を
目指すのがキツくてかなり凹んだ
ナミダ見せずにいたのは
自分信じてた証
痛みは羽根になる
覚えた文法より
力になる友情
悩みの種さえ明日(あす)のカケラ
ずっと切磋琢磨した私たち
もっとあの日より逞しくなって
ヒカリを手渡すよ
この世界のどこかで
みんなが頑張ってる
そう想うだけで元気になれる
同じ広い空の下
支え合った時間が
迷った日の地図になる
未来へ向かうさくら前線
足跡輝かせる、未知標 〜ミチシルベ〜
この世界にいる意味
まだ わからないけど
どんなトンネルも抜ければきっと
まぶしい景色があるよね
ル — ズリ — フに書いた
未完成のものがたり
ひとりひとりが続き描いて
そこからまた始まる、未来地図
あの日の鏡に映る 眩しいシルエット
可憐な姿 憧れていた 私がいた
無邪気ってコトバから はみ出すキミのことを
たしなめるのも けしかけるのも 癖になった
何も言わなくても なぜか伝わるんだ
喜怒哀楽も このキンチョ — も キミの所為でしょ！？
いっぱい 笑いあって 刺激しあって
重ねた感情ミルフィ — ユ
奏でるんだ 虹色のハ — モニ —
バイバイ 悔しくって涙流した
不器用な私に 今は泣かないで言えるよ
じゃあ, また明日
最近のキミはさ 空だけを見つめて
揺るぎない瞳めで 無限の夢を 語ってるけど
リボンを解いたら 大人になる合図
置いて行かないでそんな弱音が 零れそうだよ
並べるヒザとヒザ 伝わる温もりに
ムキになって 強がる心 優しく溶けた
いっぱい ふざけ合って 怒られたって
崩れない感情ミルフィ — ユ
このプライド 誰にも壊せない
絶対！ 自分らしく伝えたいんだ
未完成だとしても 恥ずかしがらずに言うから
いつも, ありがと
始まりの証に 揃えたストラップ
キミがくれた時からは もう 色褪せたけど
一生 笑い合って 刺激し合って
重ねたい友情ミルフィ — ユ
世界中に 虹色のハ — モニ —
バイバイ 悔しくって涙流した
不器用な私に 今は泣かないで言えるよ
じゃあ, また明日
Thank you very much!
A moment ago, the 3rd year members performed Michi Shirube
Yes.
I think the enrolled students would like to tell their impressions about it now.
Anyone?
Yes! Yes!
Megu!
Hooray!
Yes. Well Megu...
Well, the 3rd year members...
How was it again? "A cherry blossom which heads for the future at the front line"
Watching that part from the back
There... you can see them on that screen right? Watching their expression from the back
Yeah.
Their expressions during that part looked really dignified...
With this kind of "let's go towards the future" kind of feeling, it was very cool.
I would never have thought we would be praised like that.
Thank you.
I feel embarrassed.
I'm happy for that. I'm glad.
OK. Next.
Here! Here!
I have no choice... Mirena!
Yes!
Finally... I won!
I was waiting for this occasion.
Were you?
Yes.
In the part where they sing "We wrote on looseleaf an unfinished tale"
Er...
I liked it even by listening to the song alone
But looking it together with the choreo, really, really...
I was almost about to cry
I think I will never forget about this.
Seriously.
Loose-leaf, you know...
Gives the image of our blog, our school diary
Exactly.
If you were really moved by that, I'd like you to write more diaries in the future!
That's right!
We were told that! We were told until the very end!
I think writing at a pace of one per week is a good performance.
Certainly! We'll give our best.
OK, then.
Should we hear another?
-Sara-chaan! -OK then, Soyo.
Hooray!
Er... for Soyo it's about the singing of Saki-chan
I like the 'i' in "donna tonneru mo nukereba kitto"
Do you like the 'i'?
I like the way she sings the 'i'
I'd like you to sing it once...
-I'd like to listen! -Yes, I'd like it.
I'd like to hear it.
The fukei-san too
Everyone, you'd like to listen don't you?
See!
We didn't have this kind of thing much this Nendo.
That's right. Exactly.
No matter which tunnel we will come out from, for sure...
The 'i' you sang right now.
She's good!
Was the 'i' I sang right now OK?
This was better than in the rehearsal.
Exactly.
It was good that she kept asking you to sing that many times.
Today she got a perfect score.
I'm sorry if it sounded 'from above'
Thank you!
That was nice. That's good.
So, Soyo gave this Michi Shirube a perfect score
The fukei-san, too... did you listen properly to our feelings?
Thank you very much.
Also, everyone at the live viewing!
Did you carefully listen to the singing of Saki-chan pointed out by Soyo?
Yes, did you listen?
They did.
Thank you very much. That's good. Yeah.
It felt like those at the live viewing were far away so I wanted to reach out to them.
Sorry, sorry.
Well, the 3rd year members have performed this song Michi Shirube
Now we are approaching the second part of the graduation ceremony
That's right.
Every year, at the graduation ceremony
There's Sakura Gakuin songs in the graduation season that are passed on from year to year.
Exactly.
After this... we'd like to perform one of these graduation songs
Yes.
That graduation song from 2012 nendo...
I'd like to introduce it now.
Yes!
Then, please listen!
風に揺れる さくらの花 降り注ぐ日差し
水色に輝く朝靄今日もありがとう
立ち止まった 鏡の前 覚えた痛み
見慣れた制服姿も 今日で最後なんだね
ボタンに絡みつく 寂しさを解きながら
まっすぐ 見つめた 未来への扉を開けて
君に贈る Graduation Toss
宝物を集めたオルゴ — ルの中 きらめくたび
いつでも 思い出せる みんなのこと
時を告げる運命が 別々の道を示すなら
受け止める たとえひとりでも
旅立ちという名の 衝動の向こうへ
My Graduation Toss 歩き出す
声にならず 送り出した 去年の今頃
今夜は卒業証書を抱きしめて眠るかも
ふと見上げた空に さくらの花びらが舞う
卒業したって 変わらない心の絆
夢をつなぐ Graduation Toss
満天の星空に 浮かぶ星座のようにいつでも
心はひとつになれる 離れても
言葉にならない思い 伝えておきたかった気持ち
口に出したら泣いてしまう
最後まで笑顔じゃなくてごめんね...
“My Graduation Toss” 受け止めて
Hey, everybody！ 離れても
Yeah, everybody！ 仲間よ
Dear my friends...大好きよ
みんなに出逢えてよかった
どんな思い出だって
ぜんぶ持っていくよ 忘れない
今 君に贈る Graduation Toss
宝物に出逢えた オルゴ — ルの中 きらめくたび
いつでも 思い出せる仲間がいる
運命を指す光が それぞれの道を照らすなら
涙を拭いて 歩き出そう
旅立ちという名の 衝動の向こうへ
My Graduation Toss 愛を込めて
扉を開けたあの瞬間から
全てが動き出した気がしてた
息つく暇もなく走りぬけて
刻んできた 無重力十代デイズ
「まるでシンデレラ」なんて言うけど
花は一日にして咲かずでしょ？
いっちょまえに溜息をついても
まだまだオトナになれない
姉妹(きょうだい)のような距離で居れるから
弱音も吐けば 甘えもするのよ
ぐ — たらなワタシ叱る時だけ
急に本気になる
山のときも谷のときも 君と笑っていたい
言葉足らず ご存知でしょ？ それでも伝えたい
君への想い
思いの丈 詰め込んだ
歌声バクオンで響かせて
君へ届け
一番星 見上げてる
夕空 オレンジの雲越えて
誰よりも真っ直ぐな 君知ってるから
ちゃんと聞いていてね ワタシ史上最高の
アリガト！
無鉄砲なくらいが丁度いいなんて
色々試してみるけど
つま先立ちで背伸びをしたって
すぐにシビれてよろけちゃう
廊下の鏡見るたび感じてる
「自分らしさはドコにあるんだろ？」
テンパる私を優しく撫でた
君に問いかける
晴れのときも雨のときも 後悔はしたくない
進む勇気くれてるのは 他の誰でもない
君へ届け
その瞳を輝かせ
全身全霊で前向いて
君に響け
つながっている空の下
同じビ — ト刻む このハ — ト
誰よりも泣き虫な 君に捧げよう
ずっと隠してた ワタシ史上最高の
アリガト！
君に届け
こぼれ落ちたその涙
ふわふわのタオルで包ませて
君へ届け
一番星 見上げてる
夕空 オレンジの雲越えて
誰よりも真っ直ぐな 君知ってるから
ちゃんと聞いていてね ワタシ史上最高の
アリガト！
Time went by so quickly. The next song will be our last song.
Today, with these 12 members, we'd like to give the fukei-san our greatest feeling of gratitude.
Please listen to 'Yakusoku no Mirai'
Oh Dream 駈け出してくよ
さぁ もっと遠くへ
ちいさな勇気抱いて進むんだ
果てしないMy way
上手くいかなくて落ち込んだ帰り道で
ふと気づく もし今逃げたなら 夢も逃げてゆく
あきらめないと 呟いて走り出せば
明日の風が吹いて 涙なんて乾かしてくよ
選んだ道 歩み出したら
弱音なんてはかないよ
自分の軌跡信じる
可能性とは 無限のはずさ
Oh Dream 駆け抜けてくよ
そう 前だけを見て
大きな壁超えたら 輝きが待ってる
Oh Dream 一歩ずつでも
絶対 止まらないから
必ず夢に近づく
約束の未来へ行こう
不安の壁の向こうには明日がある
聞きなれた君の声 呼んでいる そんな気がしたら
着信の音 響いてる 通じてるね！
ほんとうの悩みを話したらココロ晴れてく
誓い合うよ いま君と
夢にまで見たあの場所
光輝くstage
きっと一緒に羽ばたいていこう
Oh Dream 同じ空見て
そう 息を切らして
痛みまで 分かち合い 強くなった絆
Oh Dream いつか涙は
きっと 力になるね
泣き顔 拭いたあとの
最高の笑顔で行こう
一人では見れなかったこの景色を
ずっと見てたい 時間を止めて…
Oh Dream 駈け出してくよ
さぁ もっと遠くへ
ちいさな勇気抱いて進むんだ 迷わずに
Oh Dream 一歩ずつでも
絶対 止まらないから
必ず夢に近づく
約束の未来へ行こう
明日は今日より輝くから

Middle school 2nd year, Kurashima Sara
Give me a moment....I'm sorry
Farewell Address
Finally, the long and severe winter has ended
and the beautiful sakura flowers began to bloom
Rinon-chan, Saki-chan, C-chan
Congratulations on your graduation
It seems like just yesterday that Sakura Gakuin 2015 nendo started in May
It felt like a dream that almost one year has already passed since then
Looking back on this year, we've made so many memories
One day in May, when we had a photoshoot,
we met the transfer-ins for the first time
as many as SIX girls
All of them were so energetic
I had only one year in my career as a Sakura girl,
but honestly, I suspected that it's difficult to keep the good tradition of Sakura Gakuin
I found that the three of you seniors also had an anxious look on your face
But before long, you showed us your hopeful attitude toward making a new Sakura Gakuin rather than your anxiety
The three of you have been kind and generous
but once in a while, you taught us strictly
how to make the very best performance with the twelve of us
or how each member can make an improvement
Your harsh words made us realize that we had been neglecting the effort to improve ourselves
or that we had just been satisfied with what we used to be
We were annoyed by our own simple-mindedness and sometimes shed tears
Shirai Saki-chan, the Talk Chairperson
She is 15, but she is said to be like an office clerk
as this, she is mature in her appearance and mind, and she is kind of smart
so she is likely to be seen as a down-to-earth girl
But actually, she is sometimes clumsy and goofy
For example, she sometimes stumbles over nothing and falls down
and she once dropped and lost her bank card
When she runs, she leans forward and looks funny
And, C-chan is not only a member of Sakura Gakuin
but also a dedicated fukei-san
Because of her Fukei-sb...Fukei-spirit,
she is highly observant of each one of the members, far more than I expected
She has been looking at us so carefully
that she once told us "As for MCing, I know what you're good at, and what you're bad at"
Just before a concert, she gave us good advice on what we should talk about onstage
Every one of us loves this caring C-chan
C-chan, you gave us wonderful advice from the perspective of a customer, which is hard for us to know
We could realize several things thanks to your advice
and that motivated us a lot to entertain the Fukei-sans more
Thank you
Ooga Saki-chan, the Education Chairperson
She once poured barley tea into her glasses case, half-asleep
And in our streaming program LoGiRL,
she so often gave strange and funny answers at the quiz segment
She has strong feelings for singing
and sometimes she sang so emotionally that the song sounded like an Enka-ballad
During break time in the lessons,
she sometimes started to play with the elementary schoolers
and she looked as if she was an elementary schooler herself
Saki-chan as the Education Chairperson always tried to face each member sincerely and truthfully
And when we consulted her for something, she tried to put herself in our shoes and gave deep consideration to us
Among the three seniors, Saki-chan has been the girl with the most severe words
And she was determined to create the best stage even though that made her disliked or made her scary
But we could always feel your love when you gave us the harshest words
Saki-chan
Sara had believed myself to be bad at singing, and honestly, I disliked singing
But, without noticing it, I came to hope to sing without a care, in my own way, like Saki-chan
You made me love singing
When I consulted you about singing,
you encouraged me saying, "You definitely can sing in a new way!"
Sara surely will improve myself in singing
Please watch over me
Thank you
And Isono Rinon-chan, the President of the student council
She can't read difficult kanji, much less write it
And she so often knows nothing about what an ordinary girl should know
She is very picky about vegetables
When she was forced to drink the veggie smoothie
as a penalty at the Transfer-ins Orientation event in June
the girl of no tears happened to cry
This Rinon-chan, whom we don't see how to make cry, is really, truthfully, a kind girl
She said "I'm trying to send something important directly in a way that's easy to understand for the young girls who have little vocabulary"
She also said "I don't want to show my weakness because I'm a senior now"
She carried out her word and has been a cheerful Rinon-chan without showing her frustration or sorrow
Rinon-chan,
Sara wants to learn a lot more about Sakura Gakuin in these five years from you
so that I can carry the good tradition to the kouhais
So, please keep being a good friend and a wonderful senpai to us
On the day before a concert,
Rinon-chan and I made a copy of the setlist for the dressing room
and you told me the history of Sakura Gakuin or what was on your mind while making the sheet
That moment was really precious and fun for Sara
Thank you very much
Next time I go to Sakura Gakuin,
when I enter the studio and say "Good Morning",
I'll not find the three of you...
I can't take the fact. I don't want to think about it
Honestly, I feel very lonely for your graduation
But...what we must do now, what we can do now...
is to keep the good tradition of Sakura Gakuin which our senpais created
and to see you off with smiles,
together with the Fukei-sans, Mori-sensei, Principal Kuramoto-sensei and staff teachers
Until now, we cried a lot, got scolded a lot, got angry a lot
Everything is my treasure
Thank you very very much
And, congratulations on your graduation
27th of March, Heisei 28th year,
Current student representative
2nd grade in middle school, Kurashima Sara
Next, a response speech from the graduates.
Sakura Gakuin's middle school third-years, if you please.
Yes!
Student Council President Isono Rinon acting as representative.
Farewell response:
And so it has become the season when all things have gone quiet and the sakura bloom.
Already we have sent off thirteen graduates,
but now the day has come when we ourselves must graduate Sakura Gakuin.
We took for granted all the things we got to do with Sakura Gakuin,
and the fact that we will no longer have these things after tomorrow hasn't sunk in for me.
Still I find myself wondering if we twelve are about to dance together tomorrow and after.
The very first year after I transferred in as a 5th-grader, I was the youngest member.
Now I'm in third-year middle school.
As a senior member, I've been showered with support and the expectations of so many people.
And that made me stand before you now.
The first show I ever appeared in, from that moment on,
began my life as a student of Sakura Gakuin.
When I was the youngest member, I just dedicated myself to the lesson of my beloved dances everyday,
gathering multitudes of experience,
and I tried to keep up with the senpais
who were walking in front of me.
And once it came the time that we no longer had our senpai in front of us,
in our final school year, our worries were numerous.
This year's seniors all transferred in in different years:
myself in 2011, Saki in 2012,
and Shi-chan in 2013,
so honestly, I can't say we had been getting along very well till we turned seniors.
But once it was us three leading Sakura Gakuin,
we proved ourselves able by coming together in solidarity, and we managed to get through it a step at a time.
Among the events of 2015 nendo for Sakura Gakuin was a record of six transfer students entering.
As such, the start of 2015 was marked by confusion and worry.
As the first and foremost instruction, we told the transfer-ins the mental attitude as a Sakura Gakuin member.
At first, it was hard to understand for young girls and we got frustrated a lot.
But, we're very determined to send the kouhais what we've learned from our senpais,
to make the kouhais carry the good tradition of Sakura Gakuin
and we spoke with them on this topic time and again until they understood the message.
We were very glad to see them all catching on little by little.
Because this year's group was half transfer-ins,
this year provided us with a newfound number of rewarding experiences.
Soyo
When I saw you overcoming your self-doubt in your ability bit by bit,
it made me happy and encouraged me as well.
I hope that you will be able to improve your skills even further.
Kano
You seem shy at times, but I think there is much about yourself which you are keeping hidden.
So next year, please show us a side of Kano which is yet unknown to us.
Marin
When you first transferred in, it was as if you could not speak at all due to shyness.
But when I look at you now, the way you interact with everyone instead of acting alone,
the way you speak with all of us, makes it apparent that you have changed greatly since you transferred in.
Please lend your unique worldview to Sakura Gakuin.
Maaya
You are tall, but you have the face of a child.
I think it to be one of your better qualities, seldom though you show it, but I am also very fond of your composed demeanor.
Next year, when you have become a middle school student, I want to see you become more like an elder sister.
Momoko
I know you're actually a very hard worker
and have your own opinion in several things which you seldom tell us.
And I know you have made an effort to understand everything we taught you since the first day you transferred in.
Because I know how hard you've been trying, I would like for you to improve your excellent dancing further.
I believe you can do it in a way that only you can, and I look forward to it.
Mirena
As a middle school second-year transfer-in, I imagine you also faced your share of pressure.
Even though you just transferred in this year, you will still be a senior next year.
You tried not to show your worries, but I have noticed it.
I think only Mirena can understand the mind of the new transfer-ins fully.
I hope you become a good senpai who is considerate to the feeling of transfer-ins.
In this year, we often saw you become a peacemaker among new transfer-ins. So I know you can do it.
Megu
This year, the way you dealt with your kouhai made it seem like you have matured.
Time and again you astounded me with your grace.
I hope you can pass on your grace to your kouhais as a Sakura girl.
And when you speak, because there will be times when you can see things objectively,
I hope you refine your talking and can show your personality more next year.
Aiko
Next year you will be the longest tenured member of Sakura Gakuin.
I know you realise the mind of senpais well.
You should know better than any the goals of a senpai.
Especially for things like the meaning of song lyrics and choreography,
please pass down the traditions of Sakura Gakuin to your kouhai.
Sara
Next year you will be a third-year in middle school.
You really shined while we were charging through the last leg of this 2015 nendo.
I know how much consideration you have put into Sakura Gakuin and how much concern you have for the group.
The time has come to carry out what you've thought.
If you can convey your feelings to those around you, and give a vigorous scolding when needed,
then everyone will prosper as you do. I hope you can be this kind of senior.
In the context of this year's changes, I have come to know the value of our graduates.
I often consulted the graduates because I did not want to present my weakness to the kouhais.
And I received a lot of advice from them.
It is on account of all the graduates that we can be on this big stage.
I am grateful for your watching over Sakura Gakuin all this time.
But even so, I think the greatest source of strength for Sakura Gakuin is the fukei-san.
I still can clearly recall the faces I saw when I looked out from the stage at my first performance.
As the years went by, I could see more and more flags. I am so grateful to so many people who have come to know Sakura Gakuin.
Being able to stand on this stage as part of Sakura Gakuin
and being able to perform are things we should not take for granted.
To the fukei, the graduates, the staff,
and our teachers, we are grateful for your support, without which we would not find ourselves in this setting.
Through the many experiences we had as members of Sakura Gakuin, we could reinvent ourselves.
We will continue to smile our best to strive for our own paths to becoming super ladies.
Even if we part, we will be united, and we will not ever forget the fukei-san,
and the time we spent in Sakura Gakuin will become a treasured memory.
I truly thank you for what you have done for me so far.
Please continue to support both us and Sakura Gakuin from now on.
Twenty-seventh of March, the 28th year of the Heisei Era,
2015 Sakura Gakuin graduates' representative, Isono Rinon.
And now, we will be addressed by Sakura Gakuin Principal Kuramoto Mitsuru
Well, it has become Sakura season.
When the Sakura bloom, it is time for Sakura Gakuin's graduation ceremony.
The Sakura bloomed about five days early this year.
But even if the Sakura bloom started, it doesn't feel like it's getting warmer.
The Sakura are not really blooming, with only a few just starting to bloom.
Like those flowers, it feels like you are graduating too early
Everyone probably feels the same way.
There's a lot to think about.
The three graduating this year don't lose to their seniors at all in being interesting.
I mean, Shirai Saki was a Fukei!
She is a fan of Sakura Gakuin.
A Fukei became a member of Sakura Gakuin
That was a miracle for her, I suppose.
Her dream came true at her age!
I worried how someone would be motivated after getting her dream.
She had to overcome such a special situation.
There was surely a type of pressure that only Shirai would understand.
She overcame that and did really well as the Talk Chairperson. Thank you very much.
About the timing for when Ooga Saki transferred in...
It was right after the 1st class graduated.
Because the 1st class had been the cardinal members of Sakura Gakuin,
we worried about what would happen to Sakura Gakuin after they left.
We were nervous and tried different things.
Surrounded in that environment, not even knowing left from right...
I think you were tested in many different ways.
I feel like you went along even though I didn't know which way to go.
You have a lot of guts.
Even though I think you worried about many things,
I feel like you gritted your teeth and overcame.
Thank you!
And then Isono Rinon...
You are the only one in all of Sakura Gakuin, the ONLY one,
who has experienced everything from since Sakura Gakuin became a school until now. The only one.
You were there even during my first nightmare class.
You had a terrible experience, really.
You were just sitting there spacing out. "Is she okay?!"
I thought, "Is she alive?!"
I also thought, "Is she a living thing"
Since then, you have experienced everything
and I was worried about having you become the Student Council president.
But we decided to let you do it
and after just one year, it is surprising how much you've grown.
You really got yourself together!
What was that speech just now?
Without making many mistakes,
Isn't that great?
Such a long speech.
Even the content of the speech,
I don't know how other idols do it, but they write these themselves!
That's the type of thing that makes me believe Sakura Gakuin is raising Super Ladies.
I heard you want to be a theater director after you graduate.
That is wonderful.
I wonder, how did you become so mature?
You want to become Super by supporting others. I think that is great!
Please debut by working with Sakura Gakuin.
After about 5 years?
Right?
Sakura Gakuin is indeed a school.
A school to help people become Super.
You will all graduate, whatever path you choose
Isono wants to be a director
and I think you two should continue thinking about your future,
I think no matter which genre you go to
that those who have graduated from Sakura Gakuin
will be looked at as Super people.
I believe you will be the center of happiness for many people.
It's fine, without a doubt!
All of the former graduates are now gonna be that.
So believe in yourself and have confidence.
And fry ... uh I mean fly to the future! In the end, I made a mistake!
I lost to Isono!
Congratulations!
How can I say...
Can I talk a little while?
I'm sorry but I also have something to say
It's a very strange feeling
Er...I though I would feel sad
But actually, I'm very happy now
That's because of the atmosphere these three seniors have established
I just think so.
Honestly, I think I kept speaking very badly of these three girls
like "an idiot who knows nothing"
"A bombshell girl who you should avoid to deal with"
or "a very clumsy working lady"
I really talked trash about them a lot
But honestly, even with so much trash talk,
I've been always partial to the three of you
These three seniors in this nendo have a strong inclination towards variety shows
and they kept relying on me, they kept listening to me seriously
I always felt I was very lucky to be their teacher especially in this one year
Actually, as you know, I'm not an outstanding person
When I had been an active comedian,
I had one-tenth or lower name recognition compared to that of Miyoshi or Matsui today
(You don't have to say such a thing now)
I was not well known, really
I had one-hundredth of BABYMETAL's ability to attract an audience
(rather, it was one-thousandth)
Yes, it was one-thousandth
Such an ordinary person like me can teach you something because I made a lot more mistakes than you
and because I had setbacks after I tried my best with my comrades
I think that experience enabled me to teach you something
Thus, you guys must know, you should make a lot of mistakes
It's good to make mistakes
and it's also good to have setbacks
I regard my setbacks as my treasure
So I hope you'll make a lot of mistakes that will show you a good michishirube (guidepost)
The experience will guide you
That's also true for the graduates who came here
except for the would-be nurse
Nurses can't make mistakes
It's life-threatening for a nurse to make a mistake
Well, I think the one and only condition to be a Superlady is,
--and I don't really care about other conditions--
the sole condition to be a Superlady is to become happy.
Even if you obtain high popularity,
or even if you become very wealthy
that has nothing to do with the matter.
In any event, you'll be a Superlady as long as you're happy
Please become happy. I hope for nothing more.
By the way, I've been very happy in this year. I remember
the night when Ooga got a huge round of applause at the Rakugo class
the night Isono kindly ate the wasabi for me
and the night Shirai told me she wanted to be like Mori-sensei
I was so happy in those nights.
So, I can safely say, in this year, or in these five years
that I was entitled to be a Super Boy, having taken a step ahead of you
From my heart,
I want to apologize to Isono for making a long speech
I tried to make it as short as possible
As for what I've left unspoken,
I'd like to talk about it in the LoGiRL program tomorrow
I apologize
Honestly, I want to have a job which makes people smile together with these girls
So please be in touch
Thank you very much
And now,
Graduates,
you are dismissed
Everyone, please give them a round of applause
With that, the 2015 nendo Graduation Ceremony of Sakura Gakuin has ended
Everyone, bow
白い光の中に 山なみは萌えて
遥かな空の果てまでも 君は飛び立つ
限り無く青い空に 心ふるわせ
自由を駆ける鳥よ ふり返ることもせず
勇気を翼にこめて希望の風にのり
このひろい大空に夢をたくして
懐かしい友の声 ふとよみがえる
意味もないいさかいに 泣いたあのとき
心かよったうれしさに 抱き合った日よ
みんなすぎたけれど 思いで強く抱いて
勇気を翼にこめて希望の風にのり
このひろい大空に夢をたくして
勇気を翼にこめて希望の風にのり
このひろい大空に夢をたくして
いま, 別れのとき 飛び立とう未来信じて
弾む若い力信じて
このひろい (このひろい) 大空に
いま, 別れのとき 飛び立とう未来信じて
弾む若い力信じて
このひろい (このひろい) このひろい (このひろい) 大空に
Thank you very much!
The next song will really be our last song tonight.
Our last song is the song I have sung the most during my five years in Sakura Gakuin.
Even as we graduate, we will smile our best to reach our dreams.
So then, please listen to Yume ni Mukatte.
はばたけ 夢に向かってまっすぐ
明日じゃなくていますぐ
みんな 輝くステ — ジ 進め fly away！
熱い誓いを 幾つも重ねたなら
でっかいチャンスの扉さえ 開けるパワ — になるよ

I'm 2nd year middle school student, Kurashima Sara
Thanks to the senior members for everything they taught me this year!
I'll smile my best next year too!
Thank you very much!
はばたけ 夢に向かってまっすぐ

強い願いを光る風にして

Thank you very much
Lastly... ah-
We reached the end, so...
The remaining members will share their thoughts with the graduating members
Okay
You three have nicely overseen Sakura Gakuin this year
No matter how the members change
Our bonds will never change
The spirit of Sakura Gakuin will never change
I understand that
Everyone understands that
So please keep on watching over us
Thank you so much for today!
Okay
Rinon-chan, Saki-chan, C-chan. Congratulations on graduating.
Erm... Soyo... Isn't really good at sit-ups
Isn't she too cheerful?
While dancing... Erm...
I might be a hindrance in dancing
Becomi- ah, did I say something wrong?
She said the word 'hindrance'??
Well, I'll work even harder after becoming a 6th grader
You spoke right
So keep supporting us, ok?
Let's hang out again
Thank you so much for today!
We'll hang out
Yeah
Yeah we will
Well, I'm really grateful...
to the three seniors
Rinon-chan, Saki-chan, C-chan
Thank you so much
While dancing, or singing... and when I had troubles... thank you for hugging me
I want you to keep hugging me even after today
So cute!
Truly, thank you for everything!
Okay
Up until today, during this one year, you three taught me a lot of things
You were so friendly towards me, and sometimes angry, too
And we also cried together at times
Personally...
The times we spent together with you...
I will treasure them forever...
Thank you so much!
I think the fact that this Sara is standing here is thanks to you three
I can't thank you enough
Well...
When I thought I wasn't ready to be a senior
You told me "You can't change if you don't try changing by yourself"
Really...
In my heart...
Really...
I will work hard next year while cherishing those words.
Thank you so much
C-chan, Saki-chan, Rinon-chan! Congratulations on graduating.
I spent three years together with you three seniors, in Sakura Gakuin
In these three years, we made a lot of different memories...
fun memories, and even sad, or painful ones
But now, I think, they are all great memories
Without forgetting those memories, I'll work hard in Sakura Gakuin until my senior year
So please keep watching over us!
Thank you!
Okay, first of all
C-chan, Saki-chan, Rinon-chan, congratulations on graduating!
These three seniors praised me a lot,
were angry at me a lot, and I learned a lot from them.
But really, I received great education from them
Even after they graduate, we will keep up the traditions of Sakura Gakuin
So please be at ease and work hard to become Super Ladies
Thank you so much!
Rinon-chan, Saki-chan, C-chan
Congra- eh?
Congratulations on graduating
Well...
C-chan...
I didn't really like talking and was bad at it too
C-chan...
:(
taught me a lot...
You can do it!
I came to love talking
Next, C- Rinon-chan
Rinon-chan, Rinon-chan
When we first met, she was so tall
More than just her height
Her heart was big too, I was really surprised
At my first show I lifted up Rinon-chan
And I want to hug her at our last show together too
Woah!
May I?
Great!
Woah!
Amazing
Please keep supporting us
Lastly, Saki-chan
At our first lesson when I started crying
you were the first to come to comfort me
Thank you
That makes me feel good.
Please keep being my big sister
Thank you very much!
Well, first of all
Rinon-chan, Saki-chan, C-chan, congratulations on graduating.
I'm here. It's my turn.
I'm doing my best here
Well I just thought your pro-ness is still strong
I couldn't help laughing
Momoko: Her pro-ness is still strong at the end C-chan: "First of all"
Laughing?... hrmph...
Okay.
I transferred into the 2nd grade of Jr. High this year
Since I transferred into that higher grade
I couldn't really dance and wasn't confident in my singing
I was incredibly depressed one time
At that time
Everyone... the seniors encouraged me
They supported me, always cheered me up
If they didn't...
The Mirena you see now wouldn't be here
So from now on, you guys will step onto the road of a Super Lady
I will always support that dream of yours
Next year, along with Sara, I will become a senior
I would like to become a senior like you three were this year
Thank you for everything!
Well, we'd like to say some words too
Okay
Well, with this ceremony...
we won't be able to meet much with the Fukei any more
And with you guys, too
We met every day...
Those times are coming to an end
It's a very lonely feeling
But
But I...
Next year...
I believe that you'll work hard next year
I'm expecting a lot from you
So...
I will...
I will keep supporting you together with the Fukei next nendo
So please do your best!
Yes!
I'm truly grateful for the Fukei who kept supporting us this year
Lastly, I want to say one more thing
Sakura Gakuin will live on forever!
Thank you very much!
Okay!
In the 2015 nendo
I was really nervous greeting the transfer-ins
But...
Right now, I'm incredibly grateful I could experience the 2015 nendo of Sakura Gakuin
That's because...
When something happened to us seniors, you were always full of smiles
So... even if something was going on with the seniors
Without change... you called me "Saki-chan", or "Education Chairman"
I was really happy
You always gave me more energy or courage
I'm really thankful for that
Really... but...
They were very honest
Very, very honest
They always told me their feeling directly
There were times I was even surprised by that
But in that way, directly in front of us,
seeing you come to us that directly...
Thanks to that, I was able to be open with my feelings too
Well... before, Mori-sensei said "The seniors were able to make this kind of atmosphere"
But in the end... maybe that was the case, but...
I truly think it's all thanks to you
Also
Being able to continue my activities in Sakura Gakuin
was all thanks to the fukei. You helped me out a lot of times
I can't thank you enough
But I want to say thank you.
I'm truly thankful to you!
And lastly, please let me do this once
Make all those flowers of hope... bloom!
AAAAND!
GOOD!
OOGANING!
Thank you very much!
Amazing!
So many Ooganing circles
They're really in sync, aren't they?
Amazing
Thank you so much!
Okay
With this, I'd like to brag a little bit
I felt like I was going to cry
But I still haven't
Great!
This will remain Sakura Gakuin history
It will
Amazing, right?
Splendid
Okay
I spent five years in Sakura Gakuin
Looking back, there were painful times
and I have a lot of regrets
But I have a lot more happy memories
Meeting different people, experiencing different things,
performing on a lot of stages in these five years
Seeing the many faces of the Fukei, having the loving staff around us,
my dream of becoming a stage director was born
Truth be told, I'm kind of anxious now
Obviously I'm nervous about stepping into a new world
But I want to try out more things I'm bad at, or haven't tried yet
I want to become confident in being able to reach that dream
I'll work hard to be able to come back here as a stage director for Sakura Gakuin
And I want to do something too
I AM?
RINON!
Thank you very much!
Please keep supporting Sakura Gakuin and us too!
Thank you for coming here today!
Thank you very much!
We are Sakura Gakuin!
Bye bye!
Thank you very much!
