Mummy made Nanakusa porridge for breakfast today ( ´▽｀)

With this, I’ll remain healthy this year too ☆

And then, because Tamai-san kept telling me that she was “bored, bored-!” (laugh)
We went to visit a shrine, a cafe and a bookstore together (。-∀-)

And then, we bought

a gourmet book!! (￣▽￣)

We plan to use this book as reference and try out some restaurants recommended in it (。-∀-)

And then, it’s a little late, but these photos were from Kouhaku!!

We wore costumes inspired by the Kinkakuji, and idol costumes underneath that (*´ω｀*)

I was so nervous…about the quick change in costumes-!

And then and then, we ran into Korokke-san and Hayashi Osamu-sensei,
who took photos with us (*゜▽゜*)

Me: “Sensei! Please coach me in my studies!!!”
Hayashi-sensei: “Definitely not!!!” (immediate answer)– (lol)

He might have rejected me, but his reply still made me so happy (*゜▽゜*)

Thank you!! (laugh)

As was our custom last year,
we welcomed the new year together at the backstage area in NHK, where we formed a circle and jumped! together about 3 minutes before we were to go on standby. This year, Maa-kun rushed in about 15 seconds earlier and we did it together!!!

So we welcomed the year together with Maa-kun ( ´▽｀)

Year of the horse, year of the horse~ ヽ(´▽｀)/♪

Today, I’ve finally
escaped from the 2013 mood. (laugh)

I went for my first shrine visit this year, then to Granny’s place,
then to watch movies, and shopping with friends
My break was so full of activities ( ´艸｀)

I’ll dash through 2014 too-!!!

We had our first live of the year on the 4th!!
“Ore no Fujii 2014” was held at Maebashi Green Dome
It’s been a year since the last 3B live!!

Because all the different groups were gathered together,
even lessons were really exciting and fun ヽ(´▽｀)/

We got to watch part of the live too,
and it made us all ready and excited for our own turn (*゜▽゜*)

And I’m the type who gets really nervous before lives, which makes my throat super dry. So I always drink too much water and have to visit the bathroom right before showtime. (laugh)

And because I’ll always be in full costume by then, it’s always extra work for my stylists to help me undress 
Sorry, Kome-chan  (laugh)

Thanks to her, I always feel refreshed before showtime! (laugh)

After the live, Towa-chan from Takoyaki Rainbow came over to visit me,
and said this to me while in tears, “I really respect Kanako-chan, and I want to become a great center just like you!”!

That made me really happy!!
Even though I’m totally not that great 
It made me want to work even harder in the future, so I’ll need to buck up!!

So that the girl who respects me will never lose that feeling (^^)

Towa-chan is currently in 8th grade,
about the same age as myself when I first joined Momoclo, but I totally don’t remember anything about my 8th grade life. Oh well, I’ve always been this way (lol)

I’m sure she’ll become a better leader than me (´ω`)

In other news, I went jogging around the venue together with Ebichuu-chan before the show… (laugh)

I’m really happy to have got to talk to so many of them ( ´▽｀)

Oh. Congrats to Fujii-san on his wedding (。-∀-) 

Kawakami-san used to lie to me that Fujii-san’s wife is a foreigner 

I wish you happiness–!!!!!!

Goodnight (´ω`)☆
