Dinosaur Kingdom!! — Yuuna Suzuki (15/6/26)

Original blog: https://www.nogizaka46.com/s/n46/diary/detail/104655

Hello! I’m Yuuna Suzuki, a 6th generation member.

It’s Monday, innit? Well done for getting through another day, everyone.

Earlier today, I spotted a primary school student doin’ their homework on the train. Seeing them work so diligently despite the carriage swaying from side to side somehow made me think, “I’d better keep giving it my all too.” So that’s the sort of Monday it’s been for me. It was sweet and heartwarming sight ☺️

Actually, it reminded me of something from my own school days. Whenever I was doing homework or filling in worksheets, I had a strange little rule of my own: I would always put a sheet of newspaper underneath. For some reason, I found it much easier to write that way. Watching that child on the train even brought back memories like that. So that was my Monday!! Let’s crack on, do our best together again this week and take it easy~ 🌱

And then!! The Midsummer National Tour 2026 has begun!

☀️🍉🌻🎐🩵🌞🌴🌺✨ Summer emojis are adorable, aren’t they?

I was absolutely excited to see my favourite dinosaurs at the Fukui shows! I may have got a little carried away.

On the 13th and 14th, we were able to kick off the tour in Fukui!! Thank you so much to everyone who came along to see us. This is my second Midsummer National Tour, and I’d been looking forward to it tremendously. I’m genuinely chuffed that we’ve been able to welcome another opening weekend of the tour this year.☺️

Taking on the first day amidst all the nerves, the atmosphere of the venue and the heat, which felt quite different from our usual live shows, reminded me of summer. Even though it’s still only June, I found myself thinking, “This is definitely gonna be another unforgettable summer.”

I got Hinano to do a cat pose with me. 🐱

Sabayaki. It’s so sweet with its little glasses.

During the opening shows of the tour, I found myself thinking about all sorts of things. “I’d love to try this,” or “I really like that expression.”

Those thoughts have given me plenty of ideas, and I want this summer to be one where I continue to grow and actually put those ideas into practice.

We’ve still got 16 performances ahead of us! I’ll do my very best to help make this the greatest summer possible for everyone. And to those of you travelling to see us around the country, please take care and have a safe journey.

Our next stop is Kanagawa Prefecture! I’ll be waiting for you at Yokohama Arena 🚢

Right then, Thank you very much for reading right to the end.

Yuuna
