Why is she standing in the C position?!
Sakura Endo was selected as a Center for the second time in "Sorry Fingers Crossed". So far, the only four first-term students who have served as members of the Center many times are Eima Rena, Mai Shiraishi, Nanase Nishino, and Asuka Saito, so it can be seen that Endo, like them, has placed great hopes on the next generation of aces.
After Shiraishi graduated, it was remarkable that more than half of Nogizaka's 46th and 4th-year students were active, "Nogizaka Stars Were Born!" "The activity of four students, including the japanese television department, and the separate appearance of four students in "MUSIC STATION" (Asahi TV series), is quite eye-catching. This time, Endo was chosen as the C bit because of this trend.
In the case that the members of the center of the first term graduate every year, the group needs a member who can be the heir to the C position.
As the ace of Nogizaka 46, Nishino let the world know the inherent image of Nogizaka 46, and in the past" × interview with the weekly playboy 2018, she said she wanted to see Endo standing in the center.
Among them, Nishino pointed out that he was in good shape and could reflect the feeling of Nogizaka's "style". He hopes that Endo will carry the future of Nogizaka 46, and also look forward to her as his successor.
Recently, when singing "I want to take a long detour on the way home" on TV and concerts, Endo's chances of standing at the center increased, and it was also Endo who served as a centerer at the "9theYERBIRTHDAY LIVE" held in February 2021.
Endo's beautiful dance style combined with the subtle expression of the astute is really wonderful, inheriting the original song at the same time, but also producing emotions that only she can express, and every move attracts her.
Then again, Endo rarely speaks actively in the media, not the type that will be greedy on his own. Although she gives a shy, conservative impression, on the other hand, her demeanor in the video and performance is very distinctive.
The 23rd single "SingOut! The personal PV "I Don't Have Anything" included in "Endo" shows Endo's other inaccessible sense of transparency and illusory charm as if it is about to melt, and Endo's expressiveness is unique.
This rare expressiveness can also be felt in the TV series "The Matter of サム" (dTV) and "VODARESS" (Hikari TV), and the endo in the video = Endo as a performer is even more attracted to this contrast for those who usually know her. It's almost like it exists between an idol and an actress.
In Endo's center song "Don't Need to Be Strong Until Dawn" and "I'm Sorry, Fingerscrossed", which contains cold and powerful informational music, the use of sight and the softness of the hand, as well as the way Endo himself expresses himself, are outstanding.
Although I am still growing up, I also feel the meaning of growth from my performances, and what kind of idol I will grow into in the future is the most concerned about the existence of the future. The unknown and uncertain nature of this performance is the charm of Endo, and the reason why it is highly anticipated as a center for the next generation.
The first phase of the student Matsumura Yuri announced the news of graduation, and this new single once again made people feel the strong feeling of generational change. There, it has been 2 years since Endo was first selected as a center, and he has grown strongly physically and mentally.
In an interview with Shiraishi's graduation last year, Endo said, "In order to be able to inherit the Nogizaka that has been there so far," "I want to let everyone see the new Nogizaka with 'change as an advantage.'"
Endo once again stood in the position of the center, and this sentence has an important meaning. In the future, Nogizaka 46 will be led by Endo, and I hope that in the future, I will inherit the Nogizaka tradition like this sentence and create a combination with a Endo style.
