Yesterday, on Sky Park’s Fuji NXET,
we had Sakazaki Kounosuke’s Momoiro Folk Village ♪

Beginning and ending with songs,
the programme was truly a heartening coming together of music (*^Θ^*)

…Well, that’s what it’s supposed to be, but
aside from that
I was just so nervous (＞＜)

It’s just like a normal music programme, but
my heart was in my mouth the entire time (+ +;)

But Sakazaki-san was so kind, it made me feel so much better

Takabe-san, Tooyama-san and Katou Izumi-san from that music show were with us too
to provide moral support

So we somehow managed to pull through to the end!!!

To everyone who sent in postcards and e-mails ♪
And everyone who subscribed to Sky Park to watch the show
Thanks so much （*^Θ^*）

In response to everyone’s requests,
we managed to cover lots of favourites
as well as solos (I did Nagori yuki, Hikouki kumo and Jidai ♪),
and also challenged the guitar

It was really such a high hurdle, but…

I felt that it was such a useful and effective programme

To take up a challenge with regards to my favourite activities in a programme like this,
and to share it with all the viewers
just made me so happy
and grateful…

Is once a month a good pace??
Well, it just makes me look forward so much to the next time
I’m just so glad de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

I recorded the programme on TV
and watched it while reflecting alone on lots of stuff

I wonder if I will be more mature
at this time next year~?
The programme made me think about this,
and I’m determined to work even harder ☆

Hopefully, I’ll be more at ease the next session and less nervous,
so I can truly relax
and really take up the challenge of hosting the programme de-ariyasu （*｀・Θ・´*）

To those who couldn’t get into Sky Park to watch the show,
I’ll come here again to report— (*・Θ-*)

To the subscribers, a replay will be broadcast tomorrow from 16:55~ onwards,
so please watch it if you can— ♪

P.S.
About the song by Nishikawa-san last entry,
It’s INVOKE, not IN VOGUE
Sorry for making mistakes all the time （・Θ・;;）

It’s been half a year
since Kokuritsu ☆

That sea of green penlights

Everyone’s smiles and cheers

All the congratulatory messages from the blog readers

The happiest moment of my life

Remembering all these makes my heart burn

And then…

That means…

In another half a year’s time

It’s unbelievable…

But I’ll be 20 years old!!

So many things have happened throughout my life

And thanks to everyone, I’ve managed to make it so far
and met with so much happiness

20 years old…

A 20 year-old me…

Fu! I just can’t imagine it (laugh)

And then and then
after Inazuma Rock Fest and Kishidan Banpaku

Summer is coming to an end
this year too

Lots of thoughts and emotions running around

Filling up my heart…

…So, a few moments ago,
I took a few deep breaths

…And that calmed me down a little ^^;

Ah! Thanks to everyone who attended the festivals (*^^*)

For Inazuma,
we covered a song by Nishikawa-san
called “INVOUGE” ♪

We were all so excited de-ariyasu ↑↑

Covers are just so much fun! (*>∀<*)

At Kishidan Banpaku
we managed to do words again this year ♪

Thanks to the generous and kind Kishidan-san,
we were invited to be the finale act.
It really made me so happy de-ariyasu （*^Θ^*）

And lastly,
we all dressed in similar costumes and did a collab on Mouretsu ♪

And then, as if
drawing an end to this summer,
we all watched the fireworks together ☆

And so, without any regrets,
the curtains were drawn on summer (*’-’*)

It’s a little lonely

…But it’s alright ☆

There are lots of events coming up in autumn too ♪

And we’ll surely
meet with everyone again somewhere （*^Θ^*）

So until then, please take care— (*・Θ-*)

Ah! Today is filial piety day
Did everyone know~??

I called up my elders, as I do every year, and we chatted about everything (laugh)

To all the grandpas and grandmas around the country,
I hope we managed to send out lots of power to you… .:*:゜☆

Tonight feels just like autumn ♪
It’s just so cooling— （*^Θ^*）

The moon is so round and beautiful too— .:*:゜☆

A full moon
means that the tambourine from Anime Summer was delivered successfully
That’s great de-ariyasu （*^Θ^*）

And then, today
is our manager Mr Kawakami and Syachi’s Nao-chan’s birthdays ☆
Happy birthdayyyy~~~ .:*:゜☆

Hmm?! There’s a deja vu,
as if I’ve written the same thing last year too… (’-’ )?!

Ahh~~~
The year has passed by so quickly (≧Θ≦)

Summer too…

But…

Our summer isn’t over
until Kishidan Banpaku ends! (^m^)

This year, we have the Inazuma Rock Fest on the same day too,
super looking forward to it de-ariyasu ♪♪♪

Ah! I’m also thinking in chibi bits
about Chibikko Matsuri too— （・Θ・）

To everyone coming, please look forward to it! (*・Θ-*)
(There’ll be an LV screening too~ ♪)

The photos are a reply to “MomoKanako” ♪

Ariyasu-sui ♪

Ah! These were sold at summer’s Nissan Stadium (*・Θ-*)

Today was my first time drinking and using it since Nissan!!

I cooked noodles using Ariyasu-sui,
then cooled them down using ice made from Ariyasu-sui,
before eating them (⌒￢⌒*)

To everyone who bought these
and still have them at home— ♪

It’s not expired yet,

but make sure you use it all before it does (laugh)

Ahh— I’m full of power now~! （*｀・Θ・´*）=3=3=3

My recent favourite by DREAMS COME TRUE-san~

Posted on 2014-08-31 23:16:04

Ah! Yes yes
Talking about Anime Summer,
I finally felt like I understood what all those artistes are talking about
when they speak of the power of anisong

Actually, I sometimes sing anisongs
when I go for karaoke sessions— ♪

Like Juuhachiban—…
God knows!

It feels good to sing that song （*^Θ^*）

And then, I can’t sing it well yet,
but I really love this song called “Kimi no shiranai monogatari” ☆
I’m practising it now~ ♪

Well—
Did you ever expect…
to hear me actually discuss anisongs?! (^ー゜)

And so,
we were together with Horie Yui-san and angela-san during the recent Anime Summer
And since we’re on the same level,
we took a photo together （*^Θ^*）

Thank you~~~ ♪

Posted on 2014-08-31 01:14:57

My mama has always been a big big big fan of Hakushon Daimaou ☆

Until recently, she had
all— the figurines she’d earned from UFO catcher machines a long time ago
displayed proudly at home (* *)

But they were thrown out during a spring cleaning session
Thinking about it now, it seems a little sad ^^;

So in exchange, I showed her lots of photos
that we took— ♪

Everyone, you can look too~~~ ♪♪♪

Come and go, this is Akubi-chan—! ♪

I was just so happy
to become my favourite Akubi-chan de-ariyasu (*>∀<*)

And then and then

Well, I got to perform “Akubi musume no uta”
with Horie Mitsuko-san herself, whose cute and strong singing voice
has not changed a single bit since she started performing at 12 years old (* *)

It was a double joy ♪
I just couldn’t stop smiling de-ariyasu （*^Θ^*）
And
that’s just a quick update for everyone ☆

Thanks to everyone who came down— (*^^*)

It’s the last day of August,
but I’ll renew my efforts in September
to deliver Akubi Momoka power——— ☆☆☆（*・Θ・*）☆☆☆

Posted on 2014-08-24 23:30:47

It’s already the last week of August…

Whenever this time rolls around each year

I just feel a little agitated,
and think of all the things I want to get done before summer ends…

After the festivals,
and the fireworks,
there’s just this feeling of loneliness

It’s this indescribable feeling that only comes at this time （・Θ・）

I know summer will come again next year…

But this year’s summer will only happen once

I just want to lock up
all these unforgettable precious memories,
where it’s summer forever!!

Every time I think about this

I just suddenly get so sentimental ^^;

The atmosphere from this period

just stirs my heart up

and I get so sensitive when sunset rolls around

All these are just
such unique emotions…

That can’t be put into words, and I just love it ☆

♪ Today’s BGM ♪
BankBand’s “Wakamono no subete”

and Galileo Galilei-san’s “Natsuzora”
are on endless repeat ♪

P.S.
To everyone in the “Wani to shampoo” situation, hang on———!!
Also, please help me insert an “l” into the “bog” from my previous entry ^^;
Sorry for all my frequent mistakes-ribbit ∂｀‥´б

Posted on 2014-08-23 20:20:13

Alright—
I’ve not updated the bog for awhile

After Girls’ Factory~
we did a concert at a huge stadium in Sendai ♪

Right after FNS,
we got to try out lots of collabs,
and so gain much more experience

I’ll watch the OA later and reflect on our performance,
but the grand collabs really made my heart dance

It was just such a hectic week! (*’-’).:*:゜☆

So~ That said,
the Downtown Momoclo band had
been through all the concerts with us.
It’s just such a miracle
that we can have so much fun making music (* *)

I think about it every time

About how the band supports us through it all

And how they watch over us

And how it feels like they’re pushing us forward

It’s just so amazing…

The happiness of creating sounds together
It makes me feel like bursting every time de-ariyasu (*>∀<*)

But why? ♪
The Downtown Momoclo band is so scary like that ☆

To all the people at the venue
of Girls’ Factory,
and those who watched the LV,
and those who watched it on Fuji NEXT

I’m really just full of gratitude
to have delivered those emotions to as many people as possible (*^^*)

Thank you for the wonderful time ♪

Seeing everyone’s faces
just gave me lots of flashbacks,
and I was totally overcome with emotion (*T T*)

The smiles I saw while on that stage
were all really dazzling! .:*:゜☆

And then and then,
the most nerve-wracking moment
in those days of concerts!!

Tenkasu Trio ☆☆☆

Wow, it’s been at least half a year since our last performance… ^^;

It’s true, the trinity (3 in 1) that we have
is just invincible de-ariyasu （*・Θ・*）

I can’t put that nerve-wracking emotion into words,
but being in this trio is probably the only thing that can make me feel that way

It’s alright that we don’t perform together frequently,
but it’ll be great
if we can do so again someday! (*>∀<*)

Thanks to everyone
for being as one with us!!

Mezamashi-san did a recording for me too,
so it’s kept as a “forever memory” BD at the Ariyasu residence (*・Θ-*)

And then and then,
the concert at Sendai’s Rakuten Stadium ☆

We went to perform
together with Kishidan-san and Funky Katou-san ♪

Thank you
to everyone from Tohoku
who came all the way to gather at the venue （*^Θ^*）

We sang Nippon Banzai,
and I shouted “Daisuki desu!!” at the top of my voice,
a direct message to everyone.
It was such a joyous thing (*^^*)

We ran around the large stadium too,
during Kaitou’s fake,
as well as during Diamond— ♪

We also danced the Suzume odori, Sendai’s traditional dance,
so that made it a unique performance ♪
I had so much fun de-ariyasu （*^Θ^*）

For the last song, Funky Katou-san’s “Ato hitotsu”,
everyone in the stadium raised their index finger up high
and sang the song together.
I’ll never forget that!!

I really felt the amazing power of song

Everyone coming together as one,
each person contributing their power
and receiving everyone else’s power in turn

I can’t describe it well,
but I really think that this invisible strength exists…
And I felt it really strongly!!

I remember raising my arms
towards the sky, again and again…

Let it reach
This song of smiles
This song of hope

♪ Today’s BGM ♪
Is Funkymon’s “Ato hitotsu” and~
Mr.Children’s “Kazoeuta”

Posted on 2014-08-17 17:59:02

Sorry for the late update,
thanks to everyone who watched FNS~ (*^^*)

There’s nothing I can say!
Other than it’s a real miracle
for us to appear on this programme
I’ve always admired!

If someone had travelled back in time to tell me this would one day happen,
I would surely have fallen over from shock (°_°)

It’s an event ☆
that grants so much excitement and power

because we get to perform with so many wonderful artistes

and watch all this fantasy collabs happen right before my eyes

To everyone who sent us your power through the TV,
and everyone who came to the venue to support us,
I’m really full of gratitude de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

And then, this time
we got to perform with Ebichuu-chan and Syachihoko-chan too （・Θ・）

So we took lots of photos~ ♪

But there’s just so many, I can’t upload them all…

Sorry!
I’ll be keeping them safe in my private folder (^m^)

Ebichuu-chan and Syachihoko-chan,
Oh! And miwa-san and everyone from SCANDAL.
Girls’ Factory on 18-19th will be such a joy because all of us are gathered together! (*>∀<*)

To everyone coming to the Yoyogi Gymnasium,
and everyone watching via Sky Perfect on Fuji NEXT,
look forward to the show~ (*・Θ-*)

Oh! I’ll upload more photos the next entry,
so wait for them~ ♪

The Bon Festival holidays will be over soon,
but everyone~ keep on fighting— （｀・Θ・´）
