Hello~ It’s Senga.

The Radio Charity Music-thon ended just a little while ago.

Thank you so much to all of those who donated money.

I’m going to use this kind of work that contributes to society as motivation to continue to work hard to become someone who can encourage and help as many people as possible.

Also, it’s been a while.

*Selfie of Senga wearing glasses and a mask*

It’s Senga.

Everyone, I’m sorry for making you all worry!

I’m returning to work today!

I’m going to start with doing the work that I was unable to do during my recuperation at home.

I’m going to do my best to catch up to the other members!

I’m really thankful to be able to return to work so quickly!

I’m going to keep working hard so that I can continue to inspire you and make you smile, so please keep supporting me!

Until next time.

Hello, it’s Senga.

I’m currently recuperating at home, but I’ve been given media work.

I’ve uploaded a video onto Johnny’s Official YouTube Channel talking about some of my symptoms of COVID-19 in my own way.

It would be great if the video could become a hint to help you notice if things are even a little off and realize if there is a possibility that you may have COVID-19.

I’ve recorded the video in a way that even people who are symptomless will also have this hint somewhere in the back of their minds.

I was myself in the video, so personally it’s a little embarrassing to let you all see the video, but it contains important information that I want to spread to as many people as possible.

Please watch it whenever you have time.

Until next time.

It’s Senga.

I think some of you may have seen the news already, but I’ve been infected with Covid-19.

I feel terrible for causing so much trouble and for worrying all of you.

I’m really sorry.

My temperature is normal at 36.8 degrees Celsius!

But my throat feels odd and I can’t smell anything at all.

Even if I eat Caesar salad, I can’t taste the dressing. It’s just sour.

What did it taste like again?

Oh, right. Old man sweat.

It’s to the point where I think things like this, so it’s really inconvenient.

This is what I’ve realized after experiencing it for myself:

Even if you think that you do not have Covid yourself, there’s a possibility that you’ve already been infected.

The reason why is because other than a sore throat, everything else had been basically normal.

When I took a PCR test in that state, it came back negative.

When my throat started to feel strange, I myself was convinced that I had Covid-19, so I thought that it was odd. If it wasn’t Covid-19, could it possibly be a different illness?

Thinking that way, I started endlessly looking things up on the internet.

When I did that, I found that there could be “false negatives,” where the PCR test results come back negative even if you’ve already been infected with Covid.

I was in a situation where I had to be on a live show called, “Switch!!” in Nagoya first thing the next morning.

I had tested negative, so I had no other choice than to explain that I myself still believed I had Covid-19 even though I had no proof.

It was a really weird experience.

I explained that even though I had already tested negative, there was a high possibility that it had been a false negative, so I wanted to get tested again.

To put it another way, it was a situation that probably looked like I was a child that didn’t want to go to school.

Well, it’s fine to let it be like that.

After that, I apologized whole-heartedly to the people involved in the show and went to get my second PCR test done.

The results of that 2nd test came back positive.

If I had headed to Nagoya and appeared on “Switch!!” because my results had come back negative at that time, how many more people would I have infected? I’m horrified just thinking about it.

We work as a group.

I think in each of your companies as well, an organization exists. And in that organization, you may have comrades, or “groups”.

If I suspect that I have Covid, I could immediately tell the other 6 honestly, withdraw from working together, and ask for help.

Or, I could continue to work with the excuse that my results were negative because other than a sore throat, I felt fine.

There were 2 choices. There was no manual to tell me what to do in my head, so I had to make a decision.

If I had chosen the second option, it wouldn’t have just affected me. I could have passed it on to the staff, my co-stars, or the other members.

In conclusion, I want a lot of people to understand and be aware that false negatives exist and that if a person loses their sense of taste or their throat hurts, there is a high chance that they could be infected even if they tested negative for it.

A PCR test isn’t just something that you can get done right away and it’s said that they’re only accurate 70% of the time, so to be honest, I don’t think you can be certain of the results unless you take it twice.

In addition to that, there aren’t many other illness that have a sore throat and loss of taste as symptoms to this degree, so assume that it’s Covid. Once you suspect that you have it, I recommend that you stay home.

Also, get a PCR test done if possible to confirm.

To those who are worried about me, rest assured that I’m fine.

As soon as I’ve recuperated, I will go to see you all again, so please wait for me.

Until next time.

Hello~ It’s Senga!

The pre-order deadline for *“Marumaru na Hito no Matsuro~ Bokutachi ga Eranda xx na Sentaku” is tomorrow!

It’s the first stage show that the 4 of us worked hard on together.

**For those who weren’t able to see the show, I hope you’ll watch it. I hope those who weren’t able to see the show will watch.

***I want to forever be in a place where I can be easily watched.

I would be happy if you would choose the Matsuro (fate) that is buying the DVD.

Until next time.

*The title basically means, “The fate of ___ ~The Choice That We Made”

**He actually repeats himself here. Lol

***He’s talking as if he himself is the DVD.

I guess we’re not together anymore

Even if I scroll

Our LINE messages just end

Who decided that it was okay to leave our future unread?

Oh, right. It was me who ended it, wasn’t it?

Even though I’m not supposed to have feelings for you anymore

~

“Let’s take a picture!”

Taking a selfie where we have to smile

At that time, our emotions were just like emoji

We would chill with your favorite song in the background

~

Even if we fought, things would always clear up like the rain

But today it didn’t

The flowers in my room seem so lonely as they wither away

It’s too late, isn’t it?

Before I realized it, this love became expressionless

~

At the park in the middle of the night, the bench I sit alone on has grown cold

Not noticing that you unsent some messages,

I was even colder to you

The last message marked “read” was just your kindness

~

I guess we’re not together anymore

Even if I scroll

Our LINE messages just end

Who decided that it was okay to leave our future unread?

Oh, right. It was me who ended it, wasn’t it?

“I love you” won’t appear in my notifications anymore

~

Even though I didn’t think I would have any regrets

When I said I didn’t love you anymore

~

Just like a story,

The time we shared together will soon fade away

We’re not together anymore

We’re releasing the lyrics card for “Mou Tsukiattenain da ne” (We’re Not Together Anymore).

We’re the ones who created the song, but you guys will be the ones to spread it. ^_^

*We hope that you’ll take notice from our melody.

#Sen茶_歌詞

T/N: The hashtag this time is basically the “group” name, Sencha_lyrics. Senga and NakaKen posted the exact same thing today.

*T/N: This line is worded in a way to make it feel like they’re singing this song to the person who’s listening/reading.

*Lyric video of “Mou Tsukiattenain Da Ne”, a song that Senga and Nakajima Kento made and sang together*

We hope that a lot of people listen to our song.

#Sen茶

#ケント2人でコラボしてみた曲

T/N: The first hashtag is what they’re calling their “group” for the song. “Sen” comes from Senga and the “Cha (茶)” means tea. Nakajima Kento’s Jweb is called KenTeaTime as a play on words for Kenty. The second hashtag means, “a song that 2 Kento’s tried collaborating on”. Both Senga and NakaKen posted the same thing.

T/N: Since Senga is directly replying to Nakajima Kento, I will first translate NakaKen’s response. NakaKen seems to be making a pun on tea.

*From Nakajima Kento’s 2020/10/15 Jweb*

Actually, should we just give up on it??

Since it’s been getting colder, it would be perfect for this season, though.

Warm, but a little bitter.

*From Sengaism 2020/10/15*

That’s true. Maybe we should give up.

I can imagine everyone’s happy faces, but it’s really sudden, isn’t it?

#Sen茶

I’m talking about Sen Is Live!

Should we release the thing that we did after Sen Is Live?

---

T/N: Since he’s directly going back and forth with Nakajima Kento, I will also translate NakaKen’s response below.

*From Nakajima Kento’s 2020/10/14 Jweb*

Oh! I see!!

You’re talking about that thing we made after Sen Is Live!! (Lol)

Shall we release it? ^_^
