On Friday, March 14, Saki Aibu was at Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens.
It was already feeling pretty lively around just before 10 a.m.
And the cherry blossoms were blooming like crazy
There was a big media turnout too, and Sun TV was there, so it might be on TV today!
First up was Nishinomiya Gardens’ General Manager Yamauchi!
Apparently Gardens has been open for 16 years. Has it really been that long…? Come to think of it, that means kids who are first-year high school students now (second-years from April) are the same age as Gardens! People born in 2008 are the same age. A little trivia for you
And next, the person they called to the stage was…
Saki Aibu is hereーーーーーー!! She looked so cute in a leafy-sakura green outfit～～～
Since Saki Aibu is from Takarazuka City, I wondered if she used to ride the Hankyu Imazu Line and such, and sure enough…
Exactly! She said she had ridden Hankyu trains since she was a student, and that “Nishinomiya was where I changed trains”～
Apparently she passes through Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi every time she goes back home, so it really gives her a very nostalgic feeling.
Also, she shared an episode from the movie “Hankyu Railway”, which she appeared in.
Apparently that was done in one take, so she was incredibly nervous. I mean, you have to break a flip phone cleanly in one shot, right～
And Saki Aibu said, “When I come back home, I come to Gardens with my family!” Sounds like she comes here pretty often.
Maybe because of that, during the “Petal Q&A” segment, she drew the question “Recommended spots in Gardens”.
Her answer was clear: “The rooftop garden”
“I love it❤️” she said～～
“It’s great that kids can run around on the rooftop!” she said. I’m sure Nishinomiya moms totally agree!! When the kids get bored while shopping, one “Wanna go upstairs?” solves everything～
She also loves buying bread or coffee inside Gardens and relaxing at the Sky Garden. That kind of freedom is exactly what makes Gardens special
Also, both Saki herself and her son really love karaage a lot.
(By the way, this is karaage from Karaage Asahi)
Apparently she always puts karaage in lunch boxes. For me, the lunch boxes my grandma made always had sausages and tamagoyaki! Those really become the flavors you remember
As for what she wants to do this spring,
“I’d love to go somewhere with nature, to a big open park, bring a lunch box, and just take it easy,” she said. That sounds so nice～. Here’s today’s uncut video!
