Today, ZKT48 was holding the first concert for the new team, Team Z, titled New Team, New Journey. The members sang approximately 21 songs in a day.

The concert went well without any problems but unfortunately some member got trouble. For example, Juri, she couldn't follow the entire concert because of the electricity in her mundane's house was quenched. Nobody's worth being blamed because it was out of Juri's control. Erika also got a trouble where she came late because her mundane fell asleep since the concert began.

Everybody seemed enthusiastic attending today's concert. I hope it's not only today, but for the next 1000 years of ZKT48's existence.

Many affairs happened nonstop today such as shocking announcements, celebration of Kiku, Mako, and Nako's birthday (seitansai), and the funniest affair in 2016 (wow very hyperbolic, right?) goes to when Park Chanyeol came from nowhere and sang together with us. It got me the feeling like nakinagara waraide (as I laugh, I cry).

The climax of the event was of course when Unyi-P announced the announcement. And the climax of the announcement goes to the 1st single senbatsu announcement. This sort of announcement forever will always be awaited.

But, wait, before conveying about the single thingy, I want to tell another announcements that important as well.

Today, from now on, Nanami Hashimoto will be the captain of Team Z. In the lower position, there is Zhao Jiamin as the vice-captain. I won't congratulate both of you, but I will always be the one behind your senaka to support you, because getting occupation is actually to examine your responsibility. I hope you guys can fulfill your duties.

*inhale*

Okay, let's go to the spotlight of this post!

So, ZKT48's first single is "Mae Shika Mukanee" or means "only look forward". Such a pleasing title, right?

It's planned to be released on June 1, 2016.

Here is the line-up of the senbatsu : Rara Goto, Nanami Hashimoto, Erika Ikuta, Ju Jingyi, Rena Kato, Saya Kawamoto, Mako Kojima, Jurina Matsui, Sakura Miyawaki, Ryoka Oshima, Sumire Sato, Juri Takahashi, Meru Tashima, Nako Yabuki, Fuuko Yagura, Zhao Jiamin.

I got the zero position, center.

I'm unable to express my happiness. Such a pleasant to be trusted as the front girl of this energetic single. Some of my friend also said that I deserved this position and considered I'm suitable to be the center of this energetic song. Well, I took it simply as compliments.

Before ending today's post, I would like to thank those people.

Especially, the one who was very excited as I was being appointed as the center, Sakura. She hugged me immediately after my name was mentioned. I'm glad I met Sakura. She is always there to support me. She also mentioned me on her latest post. She is the one who excited in reading my new post all the time. She really knows well how to make me feel honored. Therefore, I thank you so much.

So did Ryoka, Fuuchan, and of course Savoki. Although they always get in my hair, they are my best "supporter" so far. With all my heart, I thank you.

And also, don't forget this one girl whom made me dumbfounded all day long, Juri Takahashi. I at first was a bit shocked when Juri confessed to me that I'm her oshimen in ZKT48. I feel so honored when a person like me could be adored by someone, lol. Thank you so much!

Finally, my biggest thank goes to Unyi-P! I'd never expect she would choose me as the center of the first single since she ever said to me that it's hard to choose her own partner in managing ZKT48 as the center nor the ace.

I hope the decision of appointing me as the center didn't make anyone become wrathful.

Oh, and for Savoki, do promise me we will be the WCenter in a single one day. "Kibouteki Refrain", right?

From now on, I promise to those who have supported me so far, I will always do my best. がんばります。
