Oh no- Where should I begin-?

Well, Christmas is over, just like that- 

We had such a fun Christmas this year too (*^^*)

How did everyone spend their Christmas? 

From Seibu Dome this year, we had Tenshi to Jump, then Fuji TV’s next 3-hour live broadcast, then Momokuri. And when yesterday’s live broadcast ended, I felt a sudden piercing sense of loneliness (´・_・`)

We had Fumie Suguri-san as a special guest at Seibu Dome!!

I almost cried when watching Fumie-san’s performance during rehearsals ヽ(；▽；)ノ
Fumie-san! Thank you for the wonderful performance!!!

And then, the announcement for the concert at the National Stadium,
I couldn’t even blink my eyes or close my mouth…

I just couldn’t believe it 

I can’t forget seeing everyone’s smiles and tears while on stage.

Thank you so much.

With the previous dream accomplished, we have a new dream now.
Dreams will never end,

and that’s lovely, and makes me want to see how far we can go （´-`）

A world larger than what we’d imagined
lies on the other side of Kouhaku.

Ah! ヾ(・ω・｀) Hey hey!
Did everyone see the blue and white illuminations
on your way home from Seibu Dome? (*^^*)

That was my Christmas present-! (laugh)
Kawakami-san and I kept it a secret from the other members and staff,
and we wanted to reveal it at the end of the concert,
but the Kokuritsu announcement blanked my mind and I forgot  (laugh)

Because we never told anyone, I don’t think anyone took photos or videos of it… (laugh)

Densetsu no illumination. (laugh)

I didn’t even get to see it myself-! (laugh)

Oh well (。-∀-)

I’ll go to sleep, imagining how everyone’s smiles must surely be dazzling in the lights of the illumination! (laugh)

Goodnight (*^^*)
