securing a gold award at the prefectural contest but also discovered the music of Nogizaka46,

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
