[ENG SUB] Muto Orin's Speech on Her Seitansai About Muto Tomu 

Translations:

Happy birthday Yui.

How long has it been since we met, 7 years? 8 years? I'm not really sure, but the years don't matter.

The thing that you are best at is working hard, but the second thing you are best at is being worried about eveyrthing around you.

When I look at you, I start thinking that I don't work hard enough for the people around me, and I feel overwhelmed.

I really respect the way you think and the way you handle being a general manager, even when there are things to do, you lead everyone with a smile.

I imagine there was a lot of uneasiness and conflict when you became the general manager of such a big group, and I know for sure there was uneasiness and conflict in handing over the position.

Since you love the group, and you aren't graduating yet, I wonder if you will be okay quitting the manager position, or if you will think it's a burden for Mion because you made a lot of problems.

I think it is time now to forget about the group and to focus on yourself. You need that kind of time once in a while.

It does not mean that you are abandoning the group or the new general manager, but you have enough juniors now that will take care of it.

Believe in the juniors that watched your back and please look at yourself now. Let the year you turn 26 years old be the year you cherish youself like that.

Whenever times are hard, I will be waiting to hear from you, even in the middle of the night. Rely on us more and more.

Happy Birthday. I hope it's a wonderful year.

ゆいちゃん、お誕生日おめでとう。

ゆいちゃんと出会って7年？ 8年くらい？ よくわからんけど、まぁ年数はどうでもいいです。

ゆいちゃんの凄いなぁと思うところは本当に頑張り屋さんで、自分のことは二の次で、周りのことをいっつも気にしているところです。

ゆいちゃんを見ていると「人のためにそんなに頑張られないな、自分は」と思って凹むことがあるほどです。

総監督になってたくさん考えることや、やることがあるはずなのに、いつも笑顔でみんなを引っ張っていく姿は本当に尊敬します。

こんな大きなグループの総監督になることにたくさん不安や葛藤があったと思う。そして総監督を引き渡すことにもきっと不安や葛藤があったと思う。

グループを愛しているからこそ、卒業するわけじゃないのに総監督を辞めていいのか、自分が大変な思いをしてきたからこそみーおんの負担になるんじゃないか、とか。

でも今は周りのこと、グループのことは忘れて、自分に向き合ってあげる時間だと思います。たまにはそんな時間も必要ですよ。

それはグループのことや総監督という仕事を放棄していいよってわけではなく、任せてもいい後輩がもうゆいちゃんにはたくさんいるよってことです。

ゆいちゃんの背中を見てきた後輩を信じて、今は自分と向き合ってみてください。26歳はそんな自分を大切にする1年にしてくださいねー。

そしてつらい時はいつでも、夜中でも連絡待ってます。もっともっと頼ってね。

お誕生日おめでとう。素敵な1年になりますように。

Happy 19th Birthday!!!

And greetings Ryouha-chan's fans. I'm really happy to be given the opportunity to write this letter.

I'm sure a lot of you don't know much about me. So feel free to make your own deduction while listening to me.

Frankly speaking, I couldn't remember when we first met. Before we actually met and talked to each other, I saw you on the big screen during a concert. You were such beautiful and transparent girl, that's all I can remember. Hence I really thought that were are a reliable and mature person.

After you started your concurrent position in Team 4, during lessons, I always saw Ryouha-chan was either with the manager, Nagi-chan, or sleeping. You are such a mysterious person.

I'm also a shy person, a dark person, alone for most of the time. Before I realized, we were somehow often sharing the same space. Such a mysterious phenomenon.

Surprisingly, we are the same age, and you always said that I'm interesting. You also talk to me whenever we were together during events. I'm really happy about it.

"Hell yeah! Ryouha-chan finally remembers me" It secretly makes me feel superior to other members.

Participating in AKB48 events with you makes me feel that you can definitely become someone who leads the AKB48 group as a member of SKE48.

You are always so fluffy, sleepy, and eating ice cream. But you show your presence when you are on the stage. You shine so brightly that I feel like I need sunglasses.

When I said to you that it's been a while for you to perform this stage, you replied "I'm in deep trouble" and yet you managed to perform it perfectly. And I like that part of you very much. I think you will become someone who everyone has high hopes for and admires.

I think Ryouha-chan is full of charm, please continue to shine brightly from now on too. I will continue to support you, as a fan.

And please let me share your burden and your worries too. I want to be helpful to you at any time.

I like the Ryouha-chan who says you like me very much without any reason. Please become a person who is so great I can't even approach. (Please reach great heights far beyond us) I'm pretty sure you can do it.

Please continue to lead the AKB48 group as a member of SKE48. I'm counting on you.

Finally, why do you like ice-cream so much?

Birthday Message Collection for Goto Lala's 17th Birthday!

Finally it’s here! Yuuchan’s letter for Naachan during her 19th Seitansai from last year! I’ve always wanted to sub this but for some reason it’s been delayed for more than 2 months. How embarrassing. Sorry I didn’t sub the first letter, but YuuNaa is all I can see.
