Today, we dive into the vibrant world of Sakura Endo, a standout talent of Nogizaka46,
and explore the journey that has made her a beloved figure in the entertainment sphere.
Born on October 3, 2001, in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Sakura has risen through the ranks
to become not only a key member of idol group Nogizaka46 but also a fashion icon as an
exclusive model for the magazine Nono. Hailing from a humble beginning, Sakura's
passion for music was ignited in her middle school days, where she not only excelled in
the wind orchestra, securing a gold award at the prefectural contest but also discovered the
music of Nogizaka46, which would later play a pivotal role in her career. Despite describing
herself as shy and reserved during her high school years, Sakura was deeply influenced
by Nogizaka46's hit Influencer, leading her to pursue a dream that would soon change her life.
In 2018, Sakura's relentless drive saw her successfully pass the rigorous audition process
for Nogizaka46, a testament to her determination to transform her introspective nature.
Her debut to the spotlight came at the end of the same year, marking the beginning of an
illustrious career that would see her become the central figure of multiple singles including
Yoakumetsu Yogurnakutami and Gomanay Fingers Crossed.
Beyond music, Sakura's grace and poise have made her a sought-after model, debuting as an exclusive
model for Nono magazine in 2020, where she has since featured prominently, including achieving
her first solo cover in October 2022. Her talents have stretched to the acting arena as well,
with appearances in TV dramas such as Moshimo, Ikemen Deku no Koko ga Adora and Ramen,
solidifying her versatility as an artist.
Sakura Endo's hobbies and interests paint a picture of a multifaceted individual with a
love for Japanese sweets, movies like The Cat Returns, and a penchant for reading novels by
authors such as Kanae Minato. Her musical tastes are eclectic, ranging from J-pop sensations like
Little Glee Monster to classic acts including Southern All-Stars, showcasing her wide appreciation
for the arts. In the world of Nogizaka 46, Sakura shines brightly, admired for her skill with the
clarinet, her unique nickname Saku-chan, and her friendly relations with fellow idols across the
Sakimichi groups. As an idol, model, and actress, Sakura Endo's journey is a beacon of aspirational
success, embodying the spirit of evolution and boundless possibility. Lastly, we have an
Announcement of Mizuki Yamashita's last single
announcement. The 35th single Chansuwa Byodo has been released at April 10th. This is the final
