And, so!!!!!! (laugh)

Aarin started her meet-and-greet yesterday at Nijo,
then continued with sessions at Odawara, Chigasaki, and Ebina 󾬚

Thank you
to everyone who came (^ω^)

The nationwide pilgrimage was going strong,
but the solo sessions are all over—.

I’ve not had enough—.

Solo meet-and-greets made me feel lonely, and I always felt nervous about talking,
but it was so much fun (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Every venue was filled with truly heartwarming moods,
and I got to hear everyone’s voices,
so I felt it was the best meet-and-greet sessions!

I’m glad to have met everyone (`･ω･´)

Thank you so much 󾬍

I also visited Teradaya in Kyoto!

A cinema dyed in pink is the best scenery (。-∀-)

Till the very last session, all the Mononofu and Puninofu came to see me,
and I was just so so so happy (^^)

Because I’ll always really nervous that the cinemas would be empty!!! (laugh)

But now, I know that there are people around the country who support me,
and will be there for me.

I’ll continue to strive on!

The pink venues made me so happy 🙌

Thank you so much.

The sessions today will be hosted with my beloved Sao-san!

Let’s go in high spirits for the finale—!

Yesterday, we hosted Gekkan TAKAHASHI
at Zepp Tokyo—!

Thank you ❤
to all the AE members who came

Thanks for holding Aarin’s graduation ceremony
during yesterday’s concert too (*¨*)

She was most touched by everyone singing “Aogeba toutoshi” 😣 ❤

She also heard that those who watched the LV sang along too 😌

Aarin didn’t cry (laugh)
But she was really happy!!

Aarin’s just so awkward. (laugh)

But her heart was really full of joy (`･ω･´)

Everyone’s strong singing voices
gave her a sunny feeling, and she thought “Ahh, with this, my school life really has no regrets!”

Thank you!

Please support

Today, for the “Maku ga Agaru” nationwide pilgrimage,
she visited Mishima, then Okazaki, then— Minakuchi!!!

She forgot to take photos at the venues 💦 💦

She was just too engrossed in chatting with everyone (laugh)

Sorry 🙏

As she chatted with everyone,
the nostalgic stories just slowly came out, and she had so much fun (laugh)

How frightful— (･A･)

Tomorrow, she will start off from Kyoto ✊

To everyone coming,
please support her right from morning~ (。-∀-)

She’s back— 🚄💨
with “O~i! Ryouma” in hand

Yesterday’s campaign was a journey from Kagawa Prefecture to Okayama Prefecture!

Thank you to everyone who came 💓

She’s so glad to see all venues dyed in full pink~ 🍀

She had some boned chicken at Kagawa Prefecture 💓
Then crossed the Great Seto Bridge despite strong winds

She reached the meet-and-greet venue just 10 minutes before the show 🚗

It was a “pit-a-pat heart throb” experience (laugh)
But it was a really enjoyable day (`･ω･´)

She received so many smiles from everyone 😌

Thank you so much,
to everyone gathered to see her,
and everyone at the cinemas!

Udonno (Aarin-style) hosted the session at Kagawa together with Aarin!!

Pink pretty Udonno-chan (^ω^)

Wow, she’s such too cute~ 💓

She put on the hair ties that Udonno-chan gave to her 💓

She also chatted on the phone with Shiorin,
heard everyone’s opinions…

Received news coverage from all the local media…

Even though she’s alone,
Aarin managed to hang on, thanks to everyone!!! (laugh)

She was really happy to create common memories
with everyone at Kagawa Prefecture and Okayama Prefecture yesterday! ///

Today is “Seishunfu”‘s release date!
Tomorrow is Gekkan TAKAHASHI!!

Every day is a busy day~ (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

We had great weather yesterday, but it was really cold,
so let’s not fall sick, alright—!? 🙌

Good morning!!

Aarin is welcoming morning at Kagawa Prefecture now ☀

Good morning, Kagawa~ (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Sorry for not blogging about the meet-and-greet sessions at all.

Last week, Aarin travelled around Kyushu ✈
Kurume, then Saga Yamato, then Tenjin!!

Then, all 5 of us gathered and went to Ishinomaki 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

And then, yesterday was Aarin festival at Shikoku 💓
Kouchi, then Niihama, then Tokushima (^ω^)

She was really glad to be welcomed warmly at each location! ❤

To all the Mononofu around the country who waited to see us, and all Aarin PINK fans,
thank you so much (`･ω･´)

The cinema dyed in PINK was the best sight ever 😌

Aarin is really excited every time she enters the cinema—

Of course, she also enjoys eating the local delicacies ←

Everyone’s mood and atmosphere feels different at each location
And she finds it really interesting—! (。-∀-)

This might be her first time truly enjoying herself at the different places 🙋

Making eye contact with everyone,
speaking at close range, all this made her really happy,
and she felt saved. (laugh)

Thank you so much.

Yes yes!
The senpai at our office, Kitagawa Keiko-san, went to watch “Maku ga Agaru” too…

And wrote a review on her blog 😌

Aarin was really—!! Shocked—!!!

Big sis Keiko actually watched our performance… (blush)

It’s so embarrassing, but so wonderful, but so embarrassing, but so wonderful…

It’s wonderful!!!

And and!
“Before Maku ga Agaru. I’ll be challenging at girls at their Hito Natsu”. It’s finally been announced! 🎥

We’ve not been shown anything yet, so we don’t know much

But you’ll be able to witness my sulky face! (laugh)

Aarin wants to see it soon too (。-∀-)

So!
Today’s first stop is Takamatsu!

She’ll be back— 😍

Oh, Reni-chan
Great job on your solo concert! (^^)

Yesterday was Momoiro Folk Village
which Aarin really really enjoyed

Has everyone watched it~?

Kikuchi Momoko-san appeared as a guest
and we performed “Sotsugyou” and “Seishun no ijiwaru” together.
She also congratulated Aarin on her graduation (^^)///

Aarin dressed up as Momoko-san during her debut times!

She was so happy to be able to sing together with her! 💓

And her son is the same age as Aarin too!!

So shocking (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Thank you so much!

Aarin wishes to grow into a wonderful woman like Kikuchi Momoko-san, who embraces everyone around her with her kind aura.

Yes!
Yesterday was Aarin’s graduation special (。-∀-)

Graduation from high school is a path which all the other members have already taken,
and it’s been somehow mean~ since Aarin’s the only one who hasn’t gone through it yet

But… she didn’t expect herself to be all shy and hesitant during the shoot (laugh)

So she relied fully on everyone’s kindness 💓

And pretended it was a celebration \( ˆoˆ )/
So she ended up having lots of fun— (laugh)

Thank you so much!

This time,
Aarin dressed up in gakuran for Funaki Kazuo-san’s “Koukou sannensei”

In sailor uniform for Saitou Yuki-san’s “Sotsugyou”

AyaKanako (Double Shizuka-san)’s “Gekijou”

Then, she performed her new solo song “Sweet Eighteen Boogie” 🙆

Village chief and Shiorin also sang a graduation song for her
(But she was changing at that time so she only watched the replay at home! (laugh) )

Lastly, everyone sang
“Sangatsu kunichi” and “Kimi no ato” for her…
She was so touched (>_<) 💓

And really so happy 😌😌

She also received a wonderful bouquet from Kikuko after the broadcast 🌸
(Though she forgot to take a photo 💦)

To have everyone celebrating together like this
just made her heart so full of joy!

Thank you all so much.

To everyone
who sent in postcards and comments of congratulations!

And to everyone who celebrated Aarin and her teacher's special day together!

Thank you so much! (^^)

She's so glad she pulled through high school successfully——— (laugh)

She'll be heading to Sendai for a meet-and-greet today!!

And also for beef tongue… Fufu! (。-∀-)💕

Today, we appeared during KISS-san’s
concert at Tokyo Dome——!!

Thank you ( •∀•)/

It was really the best!!!

Aarin was so excited that she lost all self-control (laugh)

We all danced and sang together (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Ahhh, it was so much fun 😌😌😌😌😌

She still can’t believe
that she stood on stage together with KISS-san (^^) 💦

Her excitement still hasn’t cooled off yet.

And then and then!
Paul gave us all electric guitars as presents 💓💓

All of them even signed on it ///

This will really become our life treasure!!!

Where shall Aarin display hers—?! (。-∀-)

She’ll look at it everyday!!

No, she’ll worship it everyday! (laugh)

They suggested that we’ll all perform “Rock and Roll All Night” together next time

So Aarin will work even harder at guitar practice (`･ω･´)

Oh, that’s right.
She received sticks from Eric during yesterday’s rehearsal too!!

Ahh, but she forgot to take a photo 💦

She’ll treasure the sticks too!

Ahh—, it was really so much fun—

To think that she really stood on stage with KISS-san just a while ago—

KISS-san’s aura and power
and the audience when seen from the stage

It’s all burned into her eyeballs!

She hopes that she’ll get to stand on stage with KISS-san again someday.

good night 🌛

MSta was so much fun——!!

Has everyone watched it? (*¨*)

We appeared together with KISS-san

But wow…
This will definitely become Momoclo legend!!

KISS-san was so cool.

It was really a great relief that KISS-san was there together with us,
so Aarin wasn’t really nervous at all \( ˆoˆ )/

KISS-san, thank you so much (^ω^)

Please continue to support us
At Tokyo Dome on March 3 too 😌😌😌😌😌

Tomorrow is the official release date for “Maku ga Agaru”!

Please!
Make your way to the cinema 🎥

Let our acting reach out to everyone———! ✊

Yesterday was meet-and-greet at Ibaraki,
and today was our performance at Sky Park Music Festival!!!

To all the Puninofu who attended the meet-and-greet session!
Thank you so much 😌

It was Aarin’s first solo meet-and-greet,
so she was nervous and totally afraid that she would run out of things to talk about

But all the Puninofu were there, waiting for her
It made her really happy 😌

Thank you.

Did Aarin manage to act like herself and talk lots…?

What does everyone think? 💦

And then, to everyone who watched today’s Sky Park Music Festival
Thank you 😌😌

Aarin performed “Momoiro Punch”, “Seishunfu” and “Chai Maxx ZERO” ♪

It was a 5 hour long live broadcast ( •∀•)/

Takebe-san and the rest of the band members
performed throughout the entire show…

How awesome (`･ω･´)

You guys really did a great job! 🙌

And Aarin is totally not letting up as well
“Honma dekka TV” and “Gokigen you” were broadcasted yesterday…

And “VS Arashi” will air soon today (^^)

As we head towards the release date for “Maku ga Agaru”,
she’s getting lots of chances to appear on TV shows ❤

Please check them out!

Oh, she will also be performing live
on “PON!” tomorrow—! (。-∀-)

She had eel yesterday 💓

Aarin has a box of Youkai Watch sweet drops
inside her bag

And she loves the sound the sweets make when they hit against the metal box. (laugh)

Bye! 🙋
Oyasumiirin!

Sorry for not updating sooner!

Every single day just rushes by so quickly…

If things keep up at this pace, Aarin will graduate from high school in no time (´･ω･`)

Everyone probably already knows about this,
but let’s recap a little, ok?! (laugh)

First—,
Aarin (and Aarin’s Mama) attended the press conference for beloved brand PINK HOUSE-san, whom she did a collab with (^ω^)

PINK HOUSE is really so cute
It’s a brand that makes us all proud to be girls.

Aarin still has some photos of herself as a child, dressed in PINK HOUSE-san’s apparel

Even her Papa and Mama wore clothes from PINK HOUSE-san,
and PINK HOUSE-san’s bear-chan is also displayed in their house,
and the pillow on Aarin’s bed is also wrapped up in a PINK HOUSE-san towel…

So she’s really so happy
to be able to do a collab with the brand~~ \( ˆoˆ )/

↑ This bear-chan!

When dressed in PINK HOUSE-san’s clothes,
we all behaved in a slightly more girlish manner!

To all the girl-nofu—
Do visit Isetan’s PINK HOUSE-san and try out the clothes— 💓

For the boy-nofu,
they host Karl Helmut too, so do check it out! 💓

And then, we hosted Folk Village ♪

Moriyama Naotarou-san
aka Moriemon made a guest appearance ( •∀•)/

He was so cool—.

The moment we heard him sing “Sakura~ Sakura~~” live,
Aarin felt like swooning.

Thank you for coming!

The broadcast this time was done at “Tokudane!”‘s studio 📷

We left a small doodle at Kokurashi-san’s seat before we left (。-∀-)

…No worries, we got permission from “Tokudane!”‘s staff (laugh)

How was Aarin’s request song “Friends”?

She loves idol series songs 💓
(So she picked Seiko-chan’s song this time 😌)

It’s good to see Aarin belting out songs like this once in a while, right? (laugh)

And then and then,
we took part in the Sanuki Movie Festival (`･ω･´)

It was Director Motohiro’s hometown,
so he brought us to an udon place that he highly recommends!

We slurped at our udon
while bathed in sunlight ☀

Kamatama udon (^ω^)

Was so delicious—

And then and then, Hirata Oriza-san and Director Oobayashi
joined us for the meet-and-greet session (*¨*)

The words they shared
really warmed up our hearts.

Aarin wants to learn more about acting,
and hopes to have more chances to work on it in the future.

The movie release date is getting closer.

And today, Aarin will be hosting her first solo meet-and-greet

Will she speak well? 💦

If she runs out of things to talk about, please save her, ok?!!! (laugh)

Everyone at Ibaraki, see you soon! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Not a song.

But an album! (`･ω･´)

We did meet-and-greet sessions at Odaiba and Makuhari today—!

So that’s Day 2 done

No matter where we go, everyone is always waiting for us, and the fact makes Aarin really happy.

Even children came to watch…
Aarin was so glad to see them!!

Like this, the ring of “Maku ga Agaru” will stretch around Japan

That thought just occured to Aarin
as she was sitting here at home, starting into space (^ω^)

And what’s playing on the stereo at home now
is Kado Asami-san’s album “SACHET” ♪

Has everyone heard of it—?

Aarin didn’t really know her,
but her Mama always listens to Kado Asami-san’s music.

And so, the more Aarin listened to it, the more she grew to like it. (laugh)

Now, she always listens to her music

Her songs make time seem to pass slower, so it’s perfect to help Aarin relax

And it feels so mature too! ( •∀•)/

And when she looked through the lyrics booklet,
Aarin found out that the arrangement for the song “Lonely Lonely” was done by Matsutouya Masataka-san…

It’s Yuming’s Papa!!!

Wow, it just made Aarin’s day! ( ˆoˆ )/

…It’s a little strange, yes (laugh)

But wow.

Ah—, Aarin loves moments like these (*¨*)

Here are some photos of mature Aarin

taken during Nikkei Entertainment’s photoshoot!

Alright, it’s time to sleep.

She’s going to continue listening to the album and fall asleep right here n the living room
