User blog:WonderBuono!/Featured Member (February 2015): Oda Sakura

Ottonumbers came up with the idea to feature a member of Hello! Project every month, so this month's randomly selected featured member is:

Oda Sakura



Oda Sakura (小田さくら), born on March 12, 1999, in Kanagawa prefecture, is the only 11th generation member of Morning Musume '15. She first joined Hello Pro Egg in 2011, and joined Morning Musume a year later in 2012. She made her debut in the single "Help me!!".

Sakura is one of the lead vocalists in Morning Musume, and is considered by many to be one of the best singers currently in the group. (The audition she won, titled "Suppin Utahime" ["make-up-less songstress"], was specifically looking for talented singers.)

Her solo work includes a "Greeting" e-Hello! DVD (2013), as well as several "Sakura no Shirabe" solo events. Since 2013, she also hosts a radio show titled Sakura Sakuradio.

In 2014, she joined a SATOYAMA movement duo, ODATOMO, alongside Juice=Juice's Kanazawa Tomoko. They released a DVD single with their song "Kodachi wo Nukeru Kaze no You ni".

Sakura's member color is lavender. Some of her nicknames are "Sakura" and "Odasaku". Her hobbies include sewing and cooking, and her special skills are hula dancing and humming to songs.
