[You can find it here](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa9zpuu) and it includes subtitles.

For those who don’t want to watch a twenty minute episode the main new information is:

* Sakura’s parents according to her have been supportive of her auditioning in general. Edit: to be specific they weren’t stage parents but they didn’t forbid her from auditioning;

* It was in 8th grade (12 years old?) that she specifically told them she wanted to be an idol;

* In a surprise letter from her mother she said that Sakura had in fact been scouted more than once as a child but her mother had turned them down;

* She is closest with Emily and they share a bathroom;

* After the competition she went back to Japan for two days and then to Korea for a “short amount of time”. Edit: The implication was that she was at Hybe for work in Korea. Lexie was in Korea as well but it’s not clear if anyone else was. Edit: I’d perhaps assume it was visa related.
