Happy Halloween! ❤
This is American cherry, born in Texas!

We attended a costume party at Odaiba today!!
Lots of people were dressed in lots of different costumes!
Everyone, what would you have dressed up as? (^ ^)

Takagi became a 2-in-1 cherry with Aa-chan *(^o^)/*
Together, we are Yamagata!!
We’re always connected!
But we can still become detached!
But our hearts are still connected! ❤
Aa-chan! Let’s do this again sometime!

Wow—, we attended a parade and a concert too!
Miyake-san and Katou Ana dressed up too, and we all enjoyed the concert together!
The recording will be shown on Mezamashi TV, so! Look forward to that!
Prince Hans made an appearance too, and performed “Tobira akete” (laugh)

It was so so much fun!
Thank you!

So—, let us cherries blow away your exhaustion for the day!
Enjoy your meal!

We became Snow White’s 7 dwarves
for VAMPS-san’s HALLOWEEN PARTY…

Heigh-ho heigh-ho ♪

Aarin got a kiss from Snow White!

And then and then, there was Chibikko Festival!!

And we also attended the Halloween Party T-SPOOK
hosted by Mezamashi TV-san (`･ω･´)

And today! Today!
We got to dress in any costume we wanted— ❤❤

Aarin and Reni-chan formed the cherry unit “Yamagata” (ˆoˆ )/

Aarin was a cherry! (laugh)

How is it, how is it? (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Aren’t we cute—?

When Reni-chan and Aarin’s
stalks are connected, our hearts become one. (laugh)

Kawakami-san seems to like “Yamagata” too,
please let us have a unit song~! (laugh)

Kanako-chan was Minnie-chan,
Shiorin was Rapunzel!
And Momoka was Tinkerbell—!

We totally didn’t match (laugh)

We all enjoyed ourselves because we got to dress as what we wanted ( •∀•)/
(…Though we almost got our entire faces and bodies painted red. (laugh))

Everyone who came for the event dressed up too,
and it was fun seeing everyone’s costumes as we paraded around— (^ω^)

Aarin is happy that she got to see everyone’s faces up close—!

When we say morning, you think Mezamashi TV!!

Mezamashi TV-san!
Please invite Momoclo again next time—!

Let us do lots of specials, ok?! (laugh)

Good evening!!
It’s been getting colder recently—!
Mt Fuji is also slowly getting covered with snow (^^)

The photos
were taken when we attended a Halloween event hosted by VAMPS-san!!

Snow White!
And I wasn’t wearing a wig, the make-up stylist worked hard to style my hair that way!

After the show,
I couldn’t run a brush through my hair. (laugh)
I truly felt the stylist’s determination! (laugh)

Mezamashi-san’s Halloween event is tomorrow!!

Fufu! I’ll come again after the event—! (＾ω＾)

It keeps raining—!
On such days, one just feels like eating oden! (^ ^)
And so, we’ll have oden for dinner at home tonight! ❤
My home! Wait for me! ❤

Today—, I felt up with some batchmates from school, and it was calming to chat with them—.
My heart somehow felt healed. (laugh)
It’s the alma mater love.

Alright—, change of topic. From 9p.m. this Saturday,
Takagi will be appearing on Hitachi’s Sekai Fushigi Hakken! *(^o^)/*
It was my 2nd time!!
I was really nervous the first time, so the programme staff Imayama-san gave me a handmade charm!

I left one on my table, and attached the other one on my hat!
So please look out for them!
Takagi really gave it her all this time, so please watch it if you can （≧∇≦）
See you soon!

Dakishimete anthem – Team Syachihoko

01 Saturday Nov 2014

Posted by in lyrics, Team Syachihoko

≈ 2 Comments

抱きしめてアンセム (Dakishimete ansemu) – Embracing anthem

Himatsubushi / Team Shachihoko Himatsubushi / Team Shachihoko Himatsubushi / Team Shachihoko
from Himatsubushi album.

——

None none none!

You said you won’t take it away
But I haven’t found it yet!
It’s flown somewhere far far away
Soaring up and away into the skies!

You said that I could do it
But you never taught me how to
“What’s yours is mine
And what’s mine is mine” doesn’t make sense

The grass is greener on the other side
Comparing myself with others
Is not a good thing!
Maybe we have a treasure
That they envy us for!

Wow wow wow wow…
The working generation carrying the future
Wow wow wow wow…
Embracing our own anthem
Sing, make noise

Not enough, not enough, unsatisfied
The goal is still far away Winding Road
Not enough, not enough, unsatisfied
Won’t end this till we’ve won!
We’ve realized that we can’t turn back
And we have no intention of going back
“Put yourself first”, isn’t that the best?
We’re already of age
And we won’t stop anymore
“Anthem”

Just muttering away
Won’t help you to change anything-ing-ing!
Even if you have the skill
Talk alone won’t get anything done-one-one!
Learn from experiences, no more a fool!
So, teach by example
Everything goes!
Realization wannabe
Begging for what you don’t have
Remaining as commoners
We don’t want that!
Don’t need jealousy!
We’re not washed out yet!
A perfect fit
A perfect smile
Totally flawless!

Wow wow wow wow…
Won’t be the stuck out nail that gets hammered in
Wow wow wow wow…
Embracing the anthem
Let’s shout to the world now

If there are dreams we can’t wake up from
No time to think Don’t Think Feel
Can’t do it… No! I want to try!
So we move closer
Love will never end
Say it without doubt I LOVE YOU
To our weak selves Say Good Bye
Pay your debts
And we can’t stop anymore
“Anthem”

Wow wow wow wow…
Singing a song that belongs to us
Wow wow wow wow…
Not going to lose to anyone
Wow wow wow wow…
Resonating from corner to corner
Wow wow wow wow…
Starting a story you’ve never known

The final shape remains undetermined
We’ll progress as we see fit
Because I have an unstoppable voice
I want to dance forever

Not enough, not enough, unsatisfied
The goal is still far away Winding Road
Not enough, not enough, unsatisfied
We won’t end this till we’ve won!
We’ve realized that we can’t turn back
And we have no intention of going back
“Put yourself first”, isn’t that the best?
We’re already of age
And we won’t stop anymore
Can’t stop for anything
I want to be myself
“Anthem”

Searching for it three thousand ri

Otome Senso / Momoiro Clover Z Otome Senso / Momoiro Clover Z Otome Senso / Momoiro Clover Z Otome Senso / Momoiro Clover Z
from Otome sensou single.

Let’s repaint the records So So
More competitive than we seem So So
Everyone, please cheer loudly with us

Fight oh! Fight oh! Fight oh!
Fight oh! Fight oh! Fight oh!
Fight oh! Fight oh! Fight oh!
Fight oh! Fight oh! Fight oh!

A stadium roaring with cheers, the strong ones grasp victory
Regrettable memories are like eating sand, passion carving our names into history
Alright

Where are you from? We’re from Japan
The ancient land of the rising Sun
Don’t wanna lose, don’t wanna lose, don’t wanna lose
Don’t wanna lose, don’t wanna lose
A golden country with brilliant ears of wheat
Our 5-coloured brocades Fight oh!
All disheveled, but Fight oh!
Not giving up, not giving up, not giving up
Not giving up, not giving up
Our jet black hair flowing

Hey, after taking in a deep breath
Hey, just by a light touch of a finger
Hey, I have a button that can call forth miracles

Even faster, even stronger, even more beautiful
Once I push this button, I can never go back, but it’s ok
Even higher, even further, more more more more
So heartrending, it’s overwhelming
But it’s ok, let’s push it

The cheers suddenly die down, this is the moment of the era
Heartbeats racing without a pause, time moves in slow motion
Alright

Elegant sense of beauty
Self-possessed at all times
Don’t wanna lose, don’t wanna lose, don’t wanna lose
Don’t wanna lose, don’t wanna lose
Fair and square with all our hearts
Five wishes Fight oh!
Compassion, honour, gratitude, wisdom, benevolence Fight oh!
Not giving up, not giving up, not giving up
Not giving up, not giving up
Supporting our manly heroes and graceful ladies

Hey, this is not the place to show it
Hey, but with just a light touch
Hey, I have a button that can let me do great things

Just straight, just serious, just obstinate
Once I push this button, everything will change, but
I’ll grasp it, I’ll capture it, I’ll hold it tight to my heart
So longed for, it’s overwhelming
But it’s ok, let’s push it

Chasing, being chased
Competing to the ends of the world
Battles are the brilliance of life
Dashing through this wide sky, this blue ocean, this land

Flowers swaying in the wind woven into a garland
We will surely place it around you
Just like the people fulfilling their promises now
We’re running under this Sun

Even faster, even stronger, even more beautiful
Once I push this button, I can never go back, but it’s ok
Even higher, even further, more more more more
So heartrending, it’s overwhelming
But it’s ok, push

Straight, serious, just just obstinate
When I push this button, just let it happen
We can no longer return to when we were friends
So longed for, so overwhelming, but it’s ok
Let’s push it
Hang on, everyone

We’ve repainted the records So So
Don’t judge us by appearances So So
From now on, please cheer loudly as always

Ariyasu Momoka: Surrounded by kindness

Aaaaaaahhhhh~
Chibikko festival is over—!!

Yes, Momoclo is only here because of the Mononofu

I want us to always, always be together,
walking along step by step de-ariyasu! （*｀・Θ・´*）

And it’s been a long time since livehouse ♪

I truly thought
that it’s just so wonderful （・Θ・）

“I don’t want to change… but I want to change and progress”

This campaign is based on height!!
Just what how I’d hoped it would be, we could see all the way to the back
I really felt so happy (*’-’*)

To have made this campaign come true

The tall ones, though they couldn’t enter, watched over us so kindly too
Everyone also came for the exhibition at Kumamoto
(And at Tochigi too~ ♪ (lol))

Once again…
Thank you so much, everyone! （*^Θ^*）

When I sang “Arigatou no present” as the opening song,
the lights at the venue reflected through everyone’s years
and shone so brightly…
It made me want to cry along too, but

I’m already almost 20!!

I wanted everyone to see that I’ve grown up, that I’m no longer the same as in the past,
so I held back （*｀・Θ・´*）

I just wanted to deliver this song
with my best smile ☆

So that it can give everyone a push on the back (*’-’*)

That’s the meaning behind
Arigatou no present ☆

If I get the chance to sing this song again,
I hope to sing it with a smile, together with everyone ♪

As usual, it was a concert filled with
lots of Momoclo talk…

To everyone who came to Kumamoto

And everyone all across the country who watched the LiveViewing

Thank you so much (*>∀<*)

Ah! That’s right ☆
Look forward to Daiba HALLOWEEN PARK event
on the 25th too~ (*・Θ-*)

P.S.
It seems like lots of people have bought and read Quick Japan…
Thank you so much (*^^*)
Everyone even went to try out the Ou-sama brunch
I’m really so thankful de-ariyasu (*T T*)

The photos
were taken during VAMPS-san’s HALLOWEEN PARTY event
where we performed as guests.
It’s Snow White (Kanako) and the 7? dwarves— ♪

Antaga—ta do—ko sa!
Higo sa! Higo doko sa!
Kumamoto saaaaaaa!

Kumamoto!
Chibikko festival, organized by Ariyasu Momoka!

It’s been so long since our last livehouse concert!
We managed to get so close to everyone, seeing all the wonderful smiles and hearing all the warm cheers at close proximity!
It was a joyful time—.
How about everyone? Did you see us clearly?
Did you have lots of fun?
It was great seeing organizer Ariyasu really come alive!

Thank you to everyone who watched the LV too!
The talk show after the concert was fun too!
The kids from Fukuoka’s business office came too!

Hosting a concert at such close proximity is really so much fun!

Everyone, thank you so much!

pain – TOKYO GIRLS’ STYLE

Posted by in lyrics, TOKYO GIRLS' STYLE

Killing Me Softly / TOKYO GIRLS' STYLE Killing Me Softly / TOKYO GIRLS' STYLE Killing Me Softly / TOKYO GIRLS' STYLE
from Killing Me Softly album.

——

Overflowing emotions in this wound-ridden heart
Blue sighs spilling over
This pain is… your fault

A sweet smile, a gentle voice
We made merry that day

A fun dream, a precious future
We spoke about these together

Am I still like a red flower in your heart
Blooming beautifully for you?

Overflowing emotions in this wound-ridden heart
Blue sighs spilling over
Hiding away all that is true
This pain is… your fault

Conflicting views, gentle lies
We shared fretful moments

A transcient dream, a sad future
We kept our silence

Am I still like a red flower in your eyes
Reflected beautifully for you?

Quivering emotions in this wound-ridden heart
Hot impulses scorching me
Unable to speak all that is true
This sorrow is… your fault

Am I still like a red flower in your heart
Blooming beautifully for you?

Overflowing emotions in this wound-ridden heart
Blue sighs spilling over
Hiding away all that is true
I want to destroy, but it’s all in vain, all your fault
