After reading everyone’s comments,
I found that everyone really knew lots of things
So I Googled, looked at things, Googled again
And made some discoveries
I had such a fun time de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

The DVDs are piled like a mountain in front of my TV
It’s so crazy de-ariyasu! (*Θ*)

Ah! I watched 2 dramas on Wednesday too
I really watch too much TV…

Haha!… I’ve really gathered so many things to watch~ ε-(´・｀) Phew

Well, what’s more important is
I really have to watch Momoclo’s Nissan DVD before everything else ^^;
(Thanks to everyone who’ve already watched it *^^*)

Ah! And thank you to everyone who watched “Iitomo” too- ♪
Thanks for the flowers- (*^^*)

Speaking of which, in February
Momoiro yoru banashi Second Night has been confirmed
(At EX Theatre on 19, 20 Feb)

We’ll be holding lots of live concerts

so there’s so many chances to meet with everyone before Kokuritsu

I’m really looking forward to it all de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

February…
It’ll be a cold and bitter season
but let’s work hard with smiles and await spring’s coming- （*｀・Θ・´*）

One more step to reach that peaceful place!!

Once again, I’ve made a spelling mistake on my previous entry ^^;

I forgot the “r” in Reborn （^Θ^;）

He-y, will this happen every entry?!!

I’m really so sorry! (*_ _*)

I hope that I can write today’s entry
smoothly, without any mistakes… ☆

Ah! Everyone-
Thank you for enlightening me
that it doesn’t matter whether I write Yankees as “yankiisu” or “yakiizu”,
and to recommend me lots of songs to listen to ♪

By the way, while on the move today,
I listened to “Strange Chameleon” and “Tsuyogari”
by Mr. Children and the pillows countless times
“Ahh- Both are so great- ♪”
I thought as I fangirled to myself (laugh)

I’m actually listening to “Tsuyogari” right now! ☆

I like Mr.Children’s “I’ll be” too
And whenever I listen to that,
I’ll end up listening to Jackson 5’s “I’ll be there” too
Their clear angelic singing voices
still manage to shake my heart even today de-ariyasu (((*Θ*)))

The power of song…
Is more magnificent that we can ever imagine (*’-’*)

And to be able to sing at Kokuritsu…
To feel the songs together with everyone…

I’m really looking forward to it now ☆❤

Yankeez → I meant, Yankees

Oh dear, sorry for all the typos… ^^;

I get the feeling that I’m probably
worse at spelling than the average person!…

…What’s worse,
I don’t even have a large vocabulary in the first place ^^;

Mama
always tells me that I have to watch more TV
and read more newspapers and books （・Θ・;）

Yep…Well, I do listen to lots of music!

Ah! Yes yes,
There’s this song on bankband that I’ve been listening to lots lately ♪

It’s a song by GOING UNDER GROUND-san
It’s just so cool,
and after I found it on Google
I just can’t stop listening to it (*^Θ^*)

Ah! And salyu-san too
And Okamura Yasuyuki-san, who likes Kahlua and Milk
And Rebon and Strange Chameleon
I like them all, so I always search for their original songs to listen

And my list of favourite songs grows longer slowly
This feeling of a wide knowledge of music is really exciting ♪
(Oh! I listen to Western music too-)

And then, any song
that’s performed by Sakurai-san, will just become Sakurai-san’s song

That’s true for all musicians
When they sing a song, it is reborn with their voice and perspective

That’s why I love listening to song covers (*’-’*)

It’s like~ A new perspective created by the band

And when the fans come in as well,
it becomes a single entity!!

That feeling of creating music together

That feeling of looking each other in the eyes, coordinating their breathing and timing
Making each and every moment the best

I can’t describe it well,
but playing in a band and doing collabs
creates that moment of sound which is felt by everyone present
That feeling of one-ness that is shared
is just so wonderful to me (*’-’*)

Ah! I’ve always thought this,
but it’s my first time putting it into words ^^;

Ahh- I wanna attend live concerts soon-
I wanna do a live concert soon-

I wanna feel music with everyone! (*>∀<*)

P.S.
Yesterday,
we were at the National Stadium
for a BLT cover photoshoot-
Shinoyama Kishin-san was our cameraman!
Looking forward to his work

——

Notes:
1. BLT refers to Beautiful lady’s television, a Japanese magazine.

And it seems like I’ve done it again…

Mononofu, Momonofu, Momonofu, Mononofu…
Ahh, it’s so confusing (laugh)

And that’s another sure thing about me ^^;
Please forgive me ribbit~ n(’～’)n

Alright. Since today morning,
every channel on TV
has been going on about Maa-kun ♪ Maa-kun ♪ （*^Θ^*）

He’s going to join the Yankeez ☆
Congratulations!!

And he said that
he’ll be bringing his Momoclo DVDs to NY with him (* *)
I’m so happy I’m going to cry! (*T T*)

When a new DVD comes out, we’ll be sure to send you a copy (laugh)

Maa-kun has taken flight on the global stage ☆
Everyone, please support him
and send him lots of cheers from Japan de-ariyasu （*｀・Θ・´*）

Ah! Yes yes-
I keep forgetting to write about this
Tomorrow (← on Syachi’s Chiyu’s birthday ^ ^)
Stardust 3Bj will be performing
on Bokura no Ongaku- ♪

Ebichuu-chan, Syachihoko-chan and Momoclo
With so many of us, we’ll be able to deliver lots of youth and power
So please watch it, everyone- (*>∀<*)
(To January babies AiAi and Chiyu 🎵 Congrats-)

11:30pm on Fuji TV- ♪

Ahh- So glad I announced this in time ^^;

When I got home, Mama
told me that she’d bought a whole lot of DVDs (laugh)

This time, it’s apbank!!

The DVD has lots of gently flowing songs

I’m writing this entry now while listening to “to U”

By the way, the majority of Momoclo
is made up of all the Momonofu’s kindness-

That’s a sure thing!!

We receive it from everyone, return it, then receive it again
As we feel it connecting us……

Everyone’s feelings
Let’s deliver them to the stars- ☆

It’s been a long time, but
we held a live at Yoyogi Gymnasium yesterday ♪

It was the anime Kouhaku （*・Θ・*）

By the way, the red team won- ☆

Ah! Yes- yes-
You know the narration at the beginning of Z Densetsu-?

Tachiki Fumihiko-san did the narration live for us
I felt so inspired!!

He was so cool de-ariyasu (*>∀<*)

Then our choreographer “sekai no yumi-sensei”
choreographed a dance for us with Sphere-san in our first collab
We sang Maji LOVE 1000% together ♪

And so, we managed to connect with lots of people, as if by destiny
It’s just such a wonderful thing! .:*:゜☆

Ah! By the way, the other green idol Aki-chan
is totally different from me
She’s so tall, she can definitely spare me 5cm!!
That’s what I thought when I saw her （^Θ^;）w

Anyway- ♪ She’s really so kind-!!
Ahh, I wanted her to be my real big sis .:*:゜☆

Sphere-san
It was really such a joy to do a collab with you de-ariyasu ♪

And then, this time round
Aarin’s leg is suffering from a breakdown~ this live

So the Nippon Broadcasting version of Aarin robot
made an appearance on a pushcart!!

I was a little nervous because the show was a little different from usual

But because everyone was supporting us,
it was totally great!!

In the end, Aarin pulled through (*^^*)

To everyone who came to watch
and everyone who sent in lots of cheers through our blogs and such
Thank you so much ❤

Your voices have reached us-

Thanks for all the power ♪

It may seem very far off still,
but let’s all pray together
and wait patiently for Aarin’s wonderful dancing- (*^^*)

It’s OK ♪

The sale of birthday goods have started again this year-

Wow! ♪
We’re going with headphones this time [](*・Θ-*)[]

I hope everyone uses them to listen to their favourite music .:*:゜☆

Music has always
given us strength, hope and courage

Made us smile

Filled our hearts to the brim

So, let’s listen to music together
and receive energy- ♪

Sales will begin, erm…
at 10am on the 23rd (Thu)-

Please support and buy them- （*^Θ^*）

P.S.
To everyone taking the centre test,
I pray that you’ll be able to give it your best .:*:゜☆

Posted on 2014-01-13 21:28:21

Fufu! ♪
Everytime I talk about music,
everyone~ will come to write about their favourites
and reading them is so interesting de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

Yep yep… I always read the comments (*’-’*)

Thank you! (*・Θ-*)

And so, today is coming-of-age day ♪

To all the happy people who became adults today
Congratulations .:*:゜☆

And then, in Momoclo
Reni is the first one to have her coming-of-age ceremony~

Wow~ It’s so auspicious ♪

Congrats- (*>∀<*)

Speaking of which,
I hope her innocent, creative way of thinking never changes
And her unique smile which makes me want to smile too, just by looking at her
And that pure innocence. I hope it all stays the same

Actually, she may have turned 20, but it still hasn’t struck home with me yet ^^;

I guess we’ll be the same next year too (* *;)

But Reni in furisode today
was just so beautiful and dazzling
that my heart skipped a beat ☆

For a moment, it feels as if she’s gone someplace far away (laugh)

I want to see Reni tomorrow without the furisode
so I can calm down again!!!!!

I hope Reni doesn’t get mad if she reads this ^^;

However, as everyone knows
Reni’s growth last year has been amazing in many ways
and I received lots of motivation from her,
which always spurs me to work harder de-ariyasu

This time next year,
I aim to become a true grown-up adult
just like Reni… (*’-’).:*:゜☆

Reni ♪ Congrats on today (*^^*)

Ah-!! I was too early
when I uploaded my photos with Reni yesterday!!!!!

I only have these left,
so please forgive me ribbit~ (u_u)

——

Notes:
1. Coming-of-age ceremonies in Japan marks of one’s coming-of-age, which reflects both the expanded rights but also increased responsibilities expected of new adults. Many women celebrate this day by wearing furisode.
2. A furisode is a style of kimono distinguishable by its long sleeves. Furisode are the most formal style of kimono worn by unmarried women in Japan.

Yesterday was the Pepsi Zero LIVE

Everyone throughout the nation drank lots of Pepsi
in order to take part and win tickets, right-?!

Even my second cousin living in Kyoto (Eh?!! S-second cousin? Σ(ﾟдﾟ;)) won a ticket and came all the way to watch the show. I was so shocked!!

Everyone, thank you so much

I’m so thankful to everyone
who supported us, from the bottom of my heart

I love health!!
I love Pepsi!!
Seriously-!! Pepsi is the best!!!!!

Everyone who didn’t manage to win tickets
also sent us cheers from far away,
I’m sure of that~ And while thinking of them (*’-’).:*:゜☆
Together with everyone at the concert yesterday
we finally held
a true “Momoclo” live yesterday (*・Θ-*)

“Ah, ah, this is it!!”
A live that’s all Momoclo ♪

Even though I like cool concerts
where we focus on building concepts and creating a story

Freestyle lives like this
which showcase “THE Momoclo!!”

are really fun too, especially if we haven’t done anything like that recently

And wow, we somehow performed
Chai Maxx 4 times throughout the concert (^m^)

And~ everyone danced along with us- (laugh)

The third time with the high-speed Chai Maxx was so exciting ↑↑ too~
Performing high-speed Chai Maxx with everyone at the venue
was the best fun!

I hope to do it again~ (*’-’).:*:゜☆

Ah! It wasn’t just 2x speed, but 3x faster than normal!!

Everyone, please up the speed
and practice at home- ♪
Alright? (laugh)

There’ll be more lives in Jan~Feb,
with the anime Kouhaku, Valentine event and EX theatre,
so we’ll get to meet with lots more people (*^^*)

And then, Kokuritsu in March will be here before we know it
The year has just begun,
but spring will be upon us really soon

I’ve been waiting ♪ for spring!

Ah! By the way,
I haven’t written anything about today yet ^^;

Today,
we did a recording for Bokura no ongaku
together with everyone in Ebichuu-chan and Shachihoko-chan-

We sang Nanairo no Stardust ♪ (*・Θ-*)

The OA will be on 24th ☆ Everyone, please watch it-

Ah-! When I reached home,
I heard Mr Children playing 

By the way, in the SENSE DVD,
it began raining so hard halfway through the concert!!

Ah! By the way, I love blood orange’s “LOVE hajimemashita”,
but SUPERMARKET’s is my favourite ☆

I also love “Gitai” and “hypnosis” ♪
(Oh! I didn’t understand the title at first, and I had to Google it ^^;)

Listening to Mr Children’s CDs are awesome,
but the live DVDs are amazing too,
so I recommend it to everyone

And GILLE-san too, whom I’ve been listening to lots recently
Her singing is great, and listening to her calms me down ♪

Ah— Sorry for ranting about music
and making this entry so long （;´▽｀A“

Sorry sorry!!

Thank you for always reading to the end~ ❤

The weather here at Tokyo
has been really bad, and it’s so cold everyday…

How is it at everyone’s towns??

But ♪
Somehow, everyday is still full of smiles- (*^^*)

Is everyone smiling too~??

Oh yes, while on our way home from our shrine visit,
we saw lots of street food stalls open
Mama wanted to go into one of the stalls for some food,
so the 3 of us strolled along, looking for a stall to eat at

I said that I wanted to have grilled chicken!!
Just then, we happened to walk past a grilled chicken stall,
so I started pestering Mama to eat there.

Just then, for some reason
a group of pigeons suddenly flew right above us (゜O゜; Ah!

Just like me, Mama is terrified of birds,
so the 2 of us crouched down low and started crawling away
And that was the end of our grilled chicken conversation…

We were just talking about eating grilled chicken one minute,
and the next, we were apologizing as if we had committed some crime…

In the end, after confirming that the great pigeon migration was over,
we stood back up
and continued walking while huddled together ε＝ε＝ε＝(ｏ・・)ｏ

Then~
We spotted some delicious-looking displays outside a Chinese restaurant
and feasted on Chinese food for lunch instead
No use crying over spilt milk…

In the end, we all skipped dinner de-ariyasu (^Θ^;)

Ah! Moving on
I’ve realized that whenever I come home these days
I’ll hear the sounds of Mr.Children’s DVD playing in Mama’s room.

I really like them too, so I naturally peek in sometimes
The SENSE tour DVD is really good! ♪

Well, Mama’s collection has lots more
And of course, all of them are good too (*^^*)

Sakurai-san’s singing
and of course the drums, guitar and bass are all so wonderful
And~ Kobayashi Takeshi-san’s keyboard playing is too awesome!!
“LOVE hajimemashita” was performed so divinely (* *)
I’ve watched it countless times, as if trying to devour it!

Actually, my family
has been in Mr.Children mode whenever we’re home
ever since the new year (no, since year-end, actually-)~ ♪♪♪

I’ll definitely go to watch their next tour with Mama de-ariyasu （≧∇≦）

Ieiri Leo-san’s talented singing has also captured my interest lately
I really love “Chippoke na yuuki”
I hope to continue being motivated by various music this year
and receive lots of power from them, so that I can work hard （*^Θ^*）

Everyone, let’s use our 5 senses and our entire bodies to feel our favourite music
and receive power from them (*・Θ-*)

So, this entry has become so long
Will the emoticons show up this time round?!

Furu-chan, please help ^^;

P.S.
Some off-shot photos from the filming of the opening movie for Momokuri ♪
