Ok ok!  Here are my replies! (o^-’)-☆

 Yasu-san
Thank you ☆ for coming to the event (*^^*)
I’m so glad (*≧∇≦*) we got to meet ♪
My favourite Disney characters are
Cheshire Cat,
Minnie Mouse-chan,
Chip and Dale,
Tinkerbell,
and Marie-chan! ♪
Is that too many? (;￣ー￣A

 Riona-chan
Yes, of course I go to school everyday~ (o^-’)-☆
I take leave when I need to work, but auditions and stuff are mostly on weekends (^^)
Ah! Because I had to stay over during choo choo train’s PV filming
I missed school for a week (^^;)
By the way, for our creative dance…
We’re using Koda Kumi-san’s “with your smile”~ ♪

 Motty-san
My hobbies~ are dance and singing （’’*）
I’m not smart enough for other things… Sorry (^^;)
And listening to music is an essential in my everyday life (o^-’)-☆

 Shunshun-san
I’m so glad we got to meet at the event (*≧∇≦*)
The type of guys I like…
I like older guys~ who are strong-willed…
Who can protect me when I need it ☆
Someone who can understand other’s pain…I guess! （’’*）

 Kanashi-san
If you have been together for a lo~ng time and understand each other completely,
maybe it’s a good time to say “I love you” to them… ☆
But if you’re not yet on that level,
“I love you” may sound like a lie
So maybe “I like you” is a better choice! (*’-’*)

 Misato-san
When I first started at the previous blog~
I had to write in a professional way all the time…
But updating lots can be tough…
So I haven’t had the time to reply to comments (T T)
As for replies to fan letters, I’m with a new office and department now
So I need to get permission first…
Once it’s settled, I’ll let everyone know (*^^*)

 Takashi-san
We finally got to meet again on the 14th ♪
I was so happy (*^^*)
As for the CD… I think it’s still in the office
So I’ll go get it when I next go there~ ☆
Thank you for coming all the way (*T T*)
I’m glad you received the “Seikan hikou”! (≧∇≦)

 Rina-san
I’m glad I met you at the event (*^^*)
My school’s excursion trip is in the spring of my 3rd year (*’-’*)

 Biwa-san
Oh! (* *) That’s a difficult question! (laugh)
My life motto~
“Happiness is always determined by your own heart”… ☆

 natsumi-chan
Takato-san
Yosshi-san

I’ll be opening up the comment box for questions! (*’-’*)

If~ there’s anything you’d like to ask me
I’ll be waiting for your comment (o^-’)-☆

Please write in only one question per person (*_ _*)

I may pass up on the difficult or hard-to-answer questions…
So please understand! (^^;)

Alright! 

Thank you! (*^^*)

Since the start of the year, our school’s phy ed …
Has been focusing on creative dance (*’-’*)

We’re split into teams and have to come up with a dance
In the end, the best team…
Will get to perform at the sports meet  in May
And all the Year 2 and 3 girls will be involved too!  (*’-’).:*:

Because dance is my specialty  my team’s choreography

Was mostly…

Done up by me (*/ω＼*)
And everyone is working hard to remember the steps (*^^*)

The performance  will be held in 2 day’s time~
But we’re not completely done yet…
So…we’re holding a morning practice session tomorrow! (^^;)

I’m not a morning person…so it’s a little tough for me…
But! It’s just a little more~ (*’-’*)
Work hard and hope to be picked…
I’ll work hard with all my might tomorrow! =3

※This photo was taken at last year’s sports meet ♪

Referring to an entry quite a while back…
Seems like there’s been some misunderstandings about my school uniform … (^^;)

The uniform  for my school
Actually…has a ribbon that’s different from the one in the photo…
And our socks have to be white (￣～￣)ξ
In that photo, I had switched out the ribbon and socks to my own
My school won’t have allowed those normally (TωT)

As for my skirt length, I had folded it up a little…
It’s actually longer than it looks (;￣ー￣A 

Actually… I love  my uniform ~
So I like to wear it  (^^;)
That’s why~ I modified the ribbon and skirt on my own
And went to cram school like that (*^^*)
That was when I took that photo 

And then… to everyone at the event yesterday
who passed me chocolates  and presents  and letters~
Thank you so much :*:・(≧∇≦)・:*:

I’ll treasure and keep them safe (*’-’).:*:゜☆
…Well, I’ll eat the chocolates (laugh) 
Uuu~h… Though it seems such a waste  （；　；）

 Aya-san
Good job for your event~ (*^0^*)

Lastly! About grilled meat ~
Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions  (*^^*)

I was shocked to know that there are people who grill everything at once (* *) 

Well… Guess it has nothing to do with blood type~ (^^;)

Ah! By the way, all my family members are type A (￣∀￣+)

However…
My family likes to grill the gravy items first~
Before moving on to the salty items (;￣ー￣A
Isn’t that not as tasty?! （’’；）

But I’ve learnt lots (^^;)

Everyone  Thank you for your comments (*^^*)

※Video for yesterday’s event ♪
Is limited until noon tomorrow~
You can watch it on Nico Nico Douga’s “Star Digi Channel” (o^-’)-☆
Please support us (*^^*)

1. Nico Nico Douga is a Japanese video host, much like YouTube

About Nico Nico Douga just now~ 

It seems like there was some broadcasting problem 
So they couldn’t play footage of the event~ (^^;)

I was on the train  
so I didn’t manage to catch it myself…

So typical of live broadcasts! (* *;)

Problems with those are nothing unusual （’’；）

The photo   shows all the chocolates  I received~ (*’-’*)

Those on the left~ were from P-A members ♪
Those on the right~ were from my friends at school ♪

The ones from my school friends…because I got them on Friday
I’ve eaten some and so there’s not much left (;￣ー￣A 

We had hot pot … for dinner tonight 
But I controlled my eating~

So now I can eat chocolate~~~  

From 18:00 on, the weekly

“Sakina to issho”
will be uploaded on Nico Nico Douga 

For today’s upload~, well!…
I heard that it will feature yesterday’s event ☆
So please check it out if you have time 
Thank you (^_-)-☆

My first photo with Mai-chan   ~ヽ(‘ー`)ノ~

I’ve met Ai-chan
numerous times during the audition…

But now that things are settled down ☆
I find that I really love her (*’-’).:*:

Mai-chan!…

And then, to all the members~
please somehow look after
this clumsy new me…
from now on… （^ω^;）
This was my first dance lesson with everyone (*’-’*)

It made me feel so beautiful  and mature  ヽ(‘ー’#)/

Notes:
1. Yukawa Mai is a member of P-A

Lots of people~
turned up for dance lessons today ☆
So I met so many P-A members~ (*≧∇≦*)

I passed out Valentine’s chocolates to everyone~
And I got some back too (*’-‘*)

When I get home, I’ll add them to yesterday’s pile~
And take a photo (o^-‘)b  

Now Satomi-chan is the only one I haven’t met…
I think I’ll meet her next week 
So looking forward to it!!  (*≧∇≦*)

Notes:
1. Suga Satomi is a member of P-A

I forgot to upload photos
when I got home yesterday f^_^;

They were all so cheap! (o^-‘)b
All of it together adds up to around 10,000yen 

I usually go shopping with friends~
But it’s been a while…since I did it with Mama ☆

As for myself…

Because my body is small~ 

Most clothes don’t fit me well (;´ω｀)

But I’ve finally graduated from kid’s clothes (laugh)

So it was a nice surprise when I found such nice clothes yesterday (*^^*)

I’ll be heading for P-A lesson now o(^-^)o

So… which one should I wear?! ヽ(‘ー’#)/

Ah! I’ll reply to everyone’s comments~
when I get home (o^-’)-☆

Cram school…just ended,
and we’re here for grilled meat ! (＃^.^＃)

Today~ was really an exhausting  day f^_^;
And the most exhausting activity…
Was shopping (laugh)

By the way, everyone~
Do you grill your meat  ☆ like this  By putting everything onto the grill at once

My family…
Grills meat  in this stingy way (;￣ー￣A 

I don’t like to be in a frenzy when I have my meals…
So I like to grill just the right amount of meat each time (-.-;) 

Is this the personality of blood type A  (_)

Maybe I should try this exciting method of grilling…
Sometime （*’’*） (laugh)
