2nd generation member Endo Hikari (24), who has been on hiatus since April, returned to her activities. She received warm voices from the venue saying, “Welcome back~!”, and Endo said, “It’s been a while, everyone. I’ve decided to come back for the first time in about seven months. From now on, I’d like to move forward little by little in my own way”.

Endo returned at the group’s 3rd year anniversary live. After changing their name from Keyakizaka46 to Sakurazaka46 in October 2020, their 1st and 2nd anniversary live performances were held at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. This year, which marks their 3rd anniversary, will be the group’s first live performance at an outdoor stadium. Combined with the previous day on the 25th, the stadium attracted 72,000 people (36,000 each day), the largest attendance in the stadium’s history.
