I'm Manami Ichikawa, a member of Team K of AKB48.
I wrote a letter about what I wanted to tell you.
I hope you'll listen to it until the end.
I've never been talked about by the media,
and I felt that I wasn't well-known,
so I didn't have much hope for the general election.
But I saw a match the other day,
and I thought that we, who cheer for the players because they're serious, would also be serious.
So this year, I'm going to be more serious than last year.
I'm not good at expressing my feelings.
Or rather, I don't like it very much.
So I get misunderstood a lot,
but if I show something like this, I'm a little scared of how people will react,
so I hold back my feelings right away.
So I'm often looked down on.
But that's not really the case.
Just as I challenged with a passionate feeling to make the 15th performance a success,
I will challenge with even more passionate feelings in the election.
I'm often told that I'm doing well,
and I'm a dance teacher,
but I'm not as strong as everyone thinks,
and I can't do anything by myself.
So let's do our best together.
Thank you.
