This is Tani Marika from SKE48 Team E!!!!
I still haven't gotten over my feeling of both joy and shock.
I was too excited to sleep (lol)
Even now, it seemed like a dream to me.
Please let me express my feelings.
May 20th has become a day I can never forget.
It was my 3rd sousenkyo.
I was quite anxious at the prelim.
As my friends were called, I thought to myself "I guess this year's a no go..."
But then, my supporting fans' words popped into my mind.
Also, "that kid" is also next to me so I was not lonely ( ̄ー ̄)
"That kid" as in kangaroo stuffed toy that I got at my Seitansai from the fans.
While holding tight onto it, I believed my fans and waited for my name to be called.
Then the miracle happened.
11th: Tani Marika (14324 votes)
I was shocked and shaking. I thought I was dreaming. If so, I don't want to wake up!
Such amazing power my fans have!! I really think you all are amazing.
To everyone who gave me this amazing rank as a present: Thank you very, very much!
I can't thank you enough. It's the most shocking thing in my 19 years of life!
I will never ever forget the joy I felt first time having my name called.
Together with my supporting fans, we have broken through the wall before our eyes. I'm glad the power of teamwork came through.
The vote count as well. Just in that one day...
For Tani's sake, this many votes have been casted.. thank you very much (tear) I am very fortunate.
You must have gone out of your way...
Just thinking about those who have voted makes me feel it in my chest.
Please be careful with you health too (T_T)
I'll never in my life forget this grateful favor, nor the number of love I got!
I will repay it in full and more. SKE48 Tani Marika, charge with full force!!!
For those who vote to see my smile, don't worry I will not hold back!!
As though unsatisfied, I will be glad to continue on forward together.
This may be getting greedy...
but together with my supporting fans, let's aim for EVEN HIGHER! (lol)
If possible lets ride the tide and get away with it!(lol)
It is impossible for one man, but this power can be transformed into a giant force. I want to change "impossible" to "possible".
I want to paint everyone's "memory"!
The real thing is on June 6th, my hometown Fukuoka-ken.
The 7th sousenkyo at the Fukuoka Yafuoku Dome!!!
Let's bring smile to our faces.
This is a promise.
From now on as well. Please continue to push and support me (^o^)
From my heart!!! Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!!!!!
