I think this is the first time for Zukkii since everyone from the 16th gen was invited to the show? Can't wait to see this episode! /// This comes a bit late, but translated Zukkii's birthday speech: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zunchan: You were 15 years old last year; what kind of year was it? Zukkii: I think it was a year that went by the fastest up until now. Exactly around this time last year I was in the middle of the 16th gen auditions and I didn't know if I'd pass or not. My life changed with that result, and I'm really happy to be able to be right here, right now. We got to have a 16th gen concert really early on and were able to perform in many stage performances. I was also selected to be a part of the 48th single coupling song, "Tenmetsu Pheromone" and part of the Aokii stage "Sekai wa yume ni michiteiru". It was a year full of really precious and valuable experiences, and it went by really fast. ... That was a long speech, but I'm really happy! Zunchan: This year you're going to be 16; what kind of year do you want to make of it? Zukkii: I want it to be a year when lots and lots of people come to know the 16th gen, its invididual members, and, ah, myself too. To achieve that, I'd like to challenge myself slowly but surely at things I'm not really good at, for example MCs and stumbling on my own words. Zunchan: Would you like to say something to the fans who organized this wonderful birthday stage? Zukkii: Firstly, to all those who've come today, to those who are watching this in the lobby, to those who are watching this on DMM - thank you very much! Then... I have one thing I'd like to apologize about - that is, the call during songs. I'm really sorry for my fans since at the 16th gen concert I asked my fans to call me "Mizuki" during the songs, but after that no matter how many times I asked, there was no stopping the change (translator's note: to "Zukkii"). Nowadays, lots of people are calling me "Zukkii" and many also call me "Mizuki", which I'm really grateful for! So from today onwards, for the sake of unity, please call me "Zukkii"! My goal is... ahh, mmm... AKB's center... (translator's note: at this point she became so teary-eyed and moved that she had to stop for a moment ;__; ) aaa... (translator's note: she was overwhelmed again, but the audience cheered her on) I want to become someone of whom people can say "I want Zukkii to be the center" or "it's ok for Zukkii to reach for the center position". Aaa, what should I say, what should I say... (translator's note: Satou Minami is saying wordlessly "You can do it!" in the background) From now on, as I said earlier, I don't want to focus only on performances but also on MCs - I want to confess, ah, not confess, but overcome my difficulties with them (translator's note: kokuhaku = confession, kokufuku = to overcome; Zukkii was really flustered ) - sorry, sorry, I made a mistake. I want to become better bit by bit and reach upwards. Please support me from now on, too. Thank you very much. Once again, this day is my treasure! Everyone, thank you so much! Zunchan: Are you ok? Zukkii: I'm ok. Zunchan: Mizuki-chan's always courageously standing at the front of the 16th gen, really minding her surroundings, listening to other's troubles before showing her own uncertainties... She prioritizes the 16th gen before herself, which is why I'd like to reach upwards with Mizuki-chan and the 16th gen. Zukkii: Thanks! Zunchan: Once again, happy birthday! Zukkii: Thanks! Zunchan: Is there anything you'd like to say at this point? Zukkii: Once again - I'm so grateful to all of you! Thank you very much!
