Sakurazaka46 is getting the full magazine treatment for their latest milestone. The June 2026 issue of SWITCH, out today, dedicates 20 pages to the group's 5th anniversary concert, which took place April 11-12 at Tokyo's MUFU G Stadium (the National Stadium). The show drew a total of 140,000 fans across both nights.

The feature leans heavily on visuals, with photographer Masato Yokoyama's newly shot photos taking up 12 pages of the spread. These images capture the various expressions and energy of members throughout the performance.

Beyond the photography, SWITCH includes multiple member interviews that break down the experience from different angles. The magazine pairs up members from different generations—second, third, and fourth gen—to discuss what the milestone meant to them. The lineup includes Kasurin and Tenshin Yamazaki, Yasuno Tamura and Hikaru Morita, Miyao Matono and Touzuki Yamashita, Konoha Asai and Ui Yamakawa, plus Captain Rina Matsuda.

These interviews focus on the backstage moments, member interactions, and the raw emotions immediately following the concert. The combination of perspectives creates a narrative around Sakurazaka46's five-year journey since rebranding from Keyakizaka46 in 2020, plus where the group heads next.

The 5th anniversary concert represents a major scale-up for the group. Since their reformation, Sakurazaka46 has steadily grown their live presence—from their first national tour in 2021 to hosting shows at larger venues. This National Stadium show marks their largest concert to date, making it a natural centerpiece for a magazine retrospective.

For fans wanting deeper insight into how the members experienced this career-defining moment, SWITCH's multi-angle approach offers something beyond typical concert coverage. The interviews paired across generations should reveal how newer members view their role in the group's evolution versus veteran members reflecting on how far they've come.
