Our differences lead to new and interesting discoveries

Takano: Now, we have a message from Urara-san. “Sakura-chan, I always listen to your chats. Saku-chan, whom I always listen to, appears on “GRAND MARQUEE”, which I always listen to. It makes me kind of happy.”

Sakurabayashi: Thank you very much.

Celeina: Earlier we talked about chatting services, etc., but you are also doing a podcast now, aren’t you?

Sakurabayashi: That’s right. I think “I’m always listening to your chats” in the message also refers to the podcast with Jane Sue that we started in February 2023.

Celeina: It’s a podcast called “Tonari no Zatsudan”. What made you start it?

Sakurabayashi: Jane Su and I were originally friends and always had regular chats, and one of the reasons was that there were so many different elements and discoveries between the two of us that we thought, “This is interesting, so let everyone listen to it” (haha). The other reason is that the chatting service “Saku-chan kiite” is a closed chatting service, so no one can hear us. So I wanted to chat in a way that everyone could hear.

Celeina: I see, a closed environment is a very important time, but an open environment that can reach many people is also important.

Takano: The conversation between Jane Su and Ms. Sakurabayashi was so comfortable that I felt like I was eavesdropping a bit. But the sense of distance, with arrows flying toward us in places, is what makes the podcasts so enjoyable to listen to.

Celeina:I understand. There is a sense of comfort that makes me want to listen to it all the time while cooking.

Sakurabayashi: Thank you very much.

Celeina:Please check Ms.Sakurabayashi’s SNS for updates on the “Saku-chan kiite” chat service and other information.Now, “FIST BUMP” is a circle of friends that connects with goo touch, so I have people introduce me to their friends, but what kind of people do you introduce to me, Ms. Sakurabayashi?

Sakurabayashi: Ms. Mizuho Kudo, the editor-in-chief of the web media “soar”.

Celeina: In a word.

Sakurabayashi: Ms. Kudo is the representative of Yume-gumi. She is always full of curiosity and sparkles in both her work and private life. She has many dreams with many time frames. I envy her because she has so many dreams for the future.

Celeina:It sounds like she gives me a lot of energy! Today, we welcome Naoko Sakurabayashi, a person of chatting. Thank you very much.
