Walkure Will Not Betray
Posted 2018/3/2 by msadmin

Thank you to everyone for Walkure wa Uragiranai!

Those two days were so fun, happy, and truly rune-pika.

When I look back on both the days before and during the lives, I'm filled with thoughts of how fun, and how joyous it all was.

One year ago, at Yokohama Arena, I thought that Macross Delta and Walkure would end just like that.
But after the event, Director Kawamori and the rest of the staff of Macross Delta absolutely made sure that Macross Delta and Walkure would keep on chugging along.

Everything is connected; you can fly if you try. The words that my character and I believed in were true, and for that I am overjoyed.

In this year's live, as well as in the movie, when I stepped out alongside Freyja, apart from my appearance, everything was just like it was during my debut! Or so I thought, but it really isn't, with the passage of time. The way I think had also changed.
Mixed within was my happiness of being able to play Freyja once more, as well as my unease of whether or not I could become Freyja once more.

But while I was singing as Freyja and portraying her character, I again thought to myself, "I really do love singing!", "I really do love acting!"
Freyja herself in the story loves to sing! Loves Walkure! Loves Delta Squadron! Loves Windermere!

That feeling of loving something -- I confirmed that Freyja and I feel that same feeling. It made me so happy, that my unease was just blown away.

I'm sure that I'll encounter all sorts of things, and I'll definitely change.
But if this feeling of loving something is no longer the same as Freyja's -- if this feeling of loving something is no longer what I treasure most -- then that me is no longer Suzuki Minori.

I love singing. I love acting. That is why I'm in this line of work.
If my love for that brings happiness to someone, then I'm happy too.
To me, there's nothing like a favorite character, or a favorite work. They're all number one to me, every single one.
I wouldn't be who I am today if even a single one were gone.

In meeting Macross Delta, the characters, the cast, and the staff have all taught me: never forget your roots!
I will keep this deep in my heart as I go on.

In last year's live, I learned so much and got to know a lot about the members. But this year, I learned far more, and got to know even more about the members.
As I continue to move ever forward, Walkure continues to give me more and more strength.
What's going to become of us if we keep going? I really want to press on!
Kawamori-san, we're counting on you! (lol)

From last year's live to now, roughly a year has passed.
With the activities of the five of us in Walkure -- and Junna and I -- we have endless gratitude for the fans all over the world!
Because everyone has given the characters so much love, has supported us with smiles, we are here today.

I'm so very, very grateful.

Thank you all so very much!! I love you!!

This post has gotten pretty long...!
It would be nice to talk about the stories backstage on Twitter bit by bit!
I'll also do my best at the blog...!! Sorry I don't post updates at all💦

That's all!
This has been Suzuki's heartfelt report 5 days post-Walkure wa Uragiranai!
