To the Beloved AS I AM ❤,

I cannot forget the feeling of excitement and accelerated heartbeat that accompanied me as 3 a.m. struck the clock on 05.08 this year. That's when it began, the alignment of Japanese and European times and the feeling of unity despite the hundreds of kilometres separating us. 
I was overjoyed that once again, together with everyone, including the friends I had gained through you, I could give my best and support you in the semi-finals💪 on your way to perform at the festival🎆. 
It was a very emotional two days for me, especially Sunday as there were violent storms passing through my area and I was worried if I would be able to support you 😢. But then like every day AS I AM came with their support and you did a live broadcast on Tik-Tok. It was the most special moment of the event and in the blink of an eye I forgot about the ongoing storm in the area. Yuki-kun answered everyone's questions as always with a kind heart. He presented the dates of the upcoming live performances which made me even more anxious for the date of 17.09 to be added to the list. We also had the opportunity to listen to several songs together including繋ぐ and Fight Song🎼.  In that moment, a snippet of "Traveled back in time / what is this feeling" 繋ぐ pierced my heart differently than ever, as I went back in time where AS I AM was in the five together with Kouki-kun, and then all the evolution you've gone through flashed through my thoughts.

Hearing [これは君が大丈夫だと証明する歌 / 他人の意見聞かず自分を育定するんだ] Fight Song as always made me think of all the people around the world who are waiting for this wonderful song. This song always lifts my spirits and gives me energy every day 🔥💪.

As always, during this broadcast, we talked about ordinary everyday things like what everyone was going to have for dinner, how everyone's day was going. This bond that exists between AS I AM and the fans is one of a kind💞, and the fact that the members address the fans by their first name gives it an even friendlier vibe❤. 

You always think of your fans and as soon as the results of the semi-finals were confirmed you published a thank you on SNS for the votes.
Thank you for your daily hard work and for giving colour to each of my days throughout the year 🍀.

I am overjoyed that I will have the opportunity again next weekend to support you wholeheartedly in the finals and to thank you at least in this small way for all the support you give me every day.
Once again, congratulations to you on advancing to the final🎉. 

I will support you with all my strength!
