Can someone translate this message Renka wrote for Asuka?

 

To Asuka-san
Please do a cute confession
And, don't get mad at me.
From Renka.

 

In the end Asuka refused to do her homework and pass it to other member

EDIT: Added SR link

remember when she told the audience 「やらないことがかっこいいなんて思わないでください」during Sing Out campaign? yeah sure, Asuka-san.

 

Thank you! Too bad for Renka though lol. Asuka is so stingy despite acting all cutesy in recent eps of Koujichuu.

Can someone translate or summarize what she's saying about Ikuta in this video? The relationship between these 2 interests me for some reason.

This is a pretty rough translation.
1. She mentions lately that Ikuta has been inviting her to eat a lot lately. The most recent was during a small break between a job they had together. Asuka refused using the excuse that indoor dining is a bit dangerous due to Covid.
2. She says people have been saying that Asuka likes Ikuta a lot lately but Asuka says its the other way around.

 

What a tsundere but this makes other people's view a lot more accurate than what she actually say. I also noticed that Ikuta treats Asuka like a child sometimes despite being only a year older .

Thanks for the TL!

 

An interesting moment from this week's Harry's English Class: A radio listener writes in to say they are changing themselves to have a more can-do attitude, and asks if Asuka has ever wanted to change her personality.

Spoiler: Translation

Harry: How about it, Asuka-chan?
Asuka: Eh? Many, many times, I’ve wanted to. I mean… there are many parts of my personality that are a waste – that’s how I’ve personally felt – so there are lots of time I’d like to adjust it, but, well, the core of it doesn’t change, so, um, to a certain extent I’ve given up on it, but, like [the radio listener], I change the parts of myself that can be changed.
Harry: Do you believe that people can change?
Asuka: Ehh? [pause] Mmm… I believe they can change.
Harry: Mmm. But just now, you said your core doesn’t change, right? People can’t ever change the core of who they are, I think. It’s just that, maybe by aiming towards something and striving for it, from other people’s perspectives, they’ll think, “Ah, this person has changed a bit, huh.” But, like, what’s in people’s hearts, at the very center of their hearts, basically doesn’t change, I think. But [the radio listener quickly developing a can-do attitude] is really wonderful. It’s really lovely, but, definitely don’t push yourself too hard.
Asuka: That’s right. But, quite well done. Ah, should I say “well done”?
Harry: Asuka-chan, when you’re able to accomplish something, do you feel, “Yay, I did it!” or is it just a matter of course?
Asuka: Ehh? Which do I feel? Mmm….
Harry: Up till now, there’ve been lots of things you couldn’t do, that you became able to do, right? Since your debut.
Asuka: Yeah, lots. Many, many things.
Harry: If you think about it, yeah.
Asuka: But surprisingly, there may have been surprisingly few things where becoming able to do something was followed by self-confidence. How should I put it… I’m always looking at people who are above me, people who are more outstanding than me are the people in my field of vision, so, um, how should I put it… even if I become a bit skilled at dancing, there are people who are more skilled, so I don’t think, “Okay! Now I’ll dance filled with confidence.” It’s like that. I’m never satisfied.
Harry: I’m hopeless, hahaha, I always become satisfied. But that’s wonderful.
Asuka: Well, but it’s tiresome, you know, to not occasionally be sweet to yourself…
Harry: Is that one of the things that’s better if you're in a group? Within the group, not just dancing, but, for example, variety skills or communication skills or leadership, different people have them. That’s what Nogizaka creates, right?
Asuka: Certainly, that may be so.
Harry: There’s never a person with the same “color.”
Asuka: Never. I’m always getting incentive from the members, after all, so that’s certainly a very good environment to be in, for me.

anyone know the full video of this?

 

NHK radio show Kyo Wa Ichi-nichi Zanmai had a special for Nogizaka46 yesterday, the show invited the Sakamichi series' producer Akimoto Yasushi as special guest.

While Nogizaka46 captain Akimoto Manatsu and Akimoto Yasushi talked about the group's star Saito Asuka, they both agreed she is very strict. And, while Akimoto Yasushi talked about his song production process, Saito Asuka was surprised he would answer in details, Akimoto Yasushi replied to her: "Because Asuka-san is scary".
