Ichika Matsumoto Pov Jun 2026

I play the sound of the train tracks at 5:47 AM. The hollow rhythm of waiting. I play the sound of my mother’s silence after a perfect run. I play the whisper of my classmates, the soft rustle of Tanaka’s paperback pages, the imagined warmth of a hand I have never held.

Being a member of AKB48 is a dream come true for me, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the experiences I've had so far. I hope that through this blog, I can share a little bit of my life with you and give you a glimpse into the world of AKB48. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to sharing more of my adventures with you!

But they say it like they are naming a separate species. When I walk down the hall, the whispers follow like dead leaves in a draft. “She practiced until her fingers bled.” “Her mother drives her three hours to the Suzuki master.” “She doesn’t eat lunch.” I play the sound of the train tracks at 5:47 AM

My mother, Reiko, is the sun. I am merely the planet trying not to fall into her corona and burn up. She sits in the back of every lesson, arms crossed, head tilted. She doesn’t smile when I play a passage perfectly. She only uncrosses her arms. That is her applause. Yesterday, I played Paganini’s Caprice No. 24. It took me three years to get the left-hand pizzicato clean. When I finished, the sensei nodded. My mother looked at her watch.

I walk onto the stage. The lights are blinding. The panel of judges is a dark, faceless wall. I cannot see my mother in the audience, but I feel her. She is the pressure drop before a storm.
