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~~~ ♪

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・*）☆☆☆

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”

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・´）

Look look—
The world-famous Gaga-sama did the Z pose— (>_<)
She even chatted with us after the concert ♪

We couldn’t really communicate in English,
so we had to have an interpretor (⌒-⌒; )

Her aura was just overflowing with character and passion,
I just feel so much respect respect respect———— for her!

It was my first time watching her concert too, it was just so overwhelming (*_*)

I was touched by her piano performance,
and her instant costume changes were so exciting and shocking
Things just kept happening,
it was as if the whole place was filled with magic~ ☆

Just thinking that we got the chance to be the opening act,
and to stand on the same stage as Gaga-sama,
it just feels like a dream (o_o)

In truth, my excitement has yet to die down,
and I’ve grown to love Gaga-sama even more de-ariyasu! (*>∀<*)

Just meeting Gaga-sama once is enough
I’m sure everyone will fall for her!!

Thank you so much
for showing us what worldclass entertainment is like ☆♪

And then, to everyone
who shared our time in that space,
and everyone who came down to see us,
thank you all so much (*^^*)

It was just so much fun! (*^Θ^*)

I hope that everyone reading this
can somehow feel my excitement,
even if it’s just a little.｡.:*☆

I’ll never forget
the power I received!

Everyone~ Are you alright after the typhoon—??

All the weekend till this morning,
the NEWS has been all about the typhoon
It’s just so worrying…

But from today on, Tokyo will be caught up in a heat wave again

Summer summer, exhausting summer
Let’s dash through this week to the weekend in one breath again~~~ =3

FNS is finally coming 2 days later

Then, Gaga-sama the next day (* *)

And there’s Girls’ Factory too ♪

We’re working hard with lessons everyday— (*・Θ-*)b

Yes yes ♪
Yesterday, the last concert at the National Stadium played on BS Sky Perfect

I haven’t watched it all yet
But I’ll study the BD closely once I get it—

The heat and power was really so awesome (* *)

We mustn’t lose out to their power
And work hard for all the ho~t concerts this summer— ☆

Please support us from afar (*・Θ-*)

Send us power, ok?! ☆

So— After sweating so much,
some cold soba is great, right? (*^^*)
It’s refreshing when I add lots of spring onions inside ♪

Then, eating frozen mikan in the bath, something limited to summer!!

This is really the best (*>∀<*)<br />
Everyone, please try it— ♪
3=3

P.S.
Here’s some off-shots from the comico CM, playing on TV now!! =3=

6 August was Kiyono-san’s birthday ♪

And 7 August was Doraemon… No,
It was Nobita-kun’s birthday (^w^)

And then, 8 August
is Dekoppachi day (laugh)

Someone is born every single day,
so that we get to celebrate each day in this Happy world

And when I wish someone happy birthday everyday,
it feels like everyone, including the blog readers,
are celebrating the event together ☆ ← It makes sense, right?!

Always treasure yourself
No matter what situation arises, never give up on your dreams,
and always continue on this endless journey~

I wanted to set today’s BGM as “Owari naki tabi”…
But I think BRADIO-san’s “Overnight Superstar” is great too
Nah, let’s go with “Owari naki tabi” ^^;

The photos
are off-shots from the Nissan phamplet ☆

I last wore the squid costume for an event 3 years ago!!!
It’s been upkept really well~ (* *)
I wonder if anyone still has a photo of us together, when I wore this during Cheki-kai— (lol)

JON SKY WALKERS → JUN SKY WALKERS

I’m so sorry… (_ _;)

I made another mistake while correcting the first mistake…

Boo… I’m so silly de-ariyasu (TΘT)

Alright, I should just stop talking (- -;)
Before I dig my own grave again!!

And so, erm—
Yesterday? Or the day before that?!

We did a public filming for Momoclo-Chan
at TV Asahi Roppongi Hills Natsu Matsuri SUMMER STATION— ♪

The event was announced on the day itself,
but lots of people still managed to make it down~
Thank you so much （*^Θ^*）

We performed only 2 songs, but so glad we managed to do so ♪

I want to attend concerts———!!!

Instead of being on stage,
I want to be in the audience, as a fan
watching the concert
The occasional change in perspective is surely exciting ♪

I want to step into the shoes of the Mononofu,
to feel and think as an audience
enjoying a live concert

With that,
I’ll surely learn something new which I’d never realized before,
and see things which I’d never been able to see (*’-’*)

Yes!! I’ll definitely attend one soon!!
Let’s go watch a concert!!

I made a mistake again
in my previous entry…

I’m sorry for always making mistakes (*_ _*)

“Yasumi no hi”
is not by Mr.Children, but JON SKY WALKERS…

I assumed it was Mr.Children because I heard it on Bank Band… ^^;

Terao-san!!
Thank you for taking care of me during the recording
for Wasurerarenu Music
I’m so sorry for my mistake (*_ _*)

I just love that song so much
To have taken part and helped to create that music,
a wonderful thing which can span eras and connect everyone…
I feel proud just thinking of it (*’-’ *)

I got to meet my favourite artistes too, such as Yuming-san, Yuzu-san and Sakurako-san
And I love back number-san too
I have all their albums on my ipod

To be able to collaborate with these wonderful people

And to have Terao-san
as the producer

It was just such a dream-like event （*・Θ・*）

It’s still up for download for those who haven’t heard it yet
So please give it a listen— ♪

Fufu! I’m sorry
for making the announcement at this time… ^^;

Ah! And thank you
to everyone who bought or downloaded MOON PRIDE— （*^Θ^*）

And then and then,
actually, from 18 September onwards,
we will become regular guests on CS Fuji NEXT,
a 2-hour long live music programme (*>∀<*)

The title of the programme is “Sakazaki Kounosuke’s Momoiro Folk Village NEXT”

With ALFEE’s Sakazaki-san as our leader, we will be learning how to play the guitar, as well as sing

Ah! Takebe-san and Katou Izumi-san will be with us too— ♪

This has always been a daydream of mine,
so getting the chance to do this is really a dream come true ・・・.:*:゜☆

I just can’t stop smiling now

But because it’s a live broadcast programme,
there are some worries too ^^;

But I hope that it’ll be a programme that everyone will enjoy,
and I wish to learn more about music
and improve on various skills too! (*’-’).:*:゜☆

To be able to have more contact with music
in my everyday life, even if it’s by just a little,
makes me so happy
I’ll treasure these precious moments ♪

Though I still worry about things like, can my fingers even reach the strings to form chords…?

I’ll do my best to hold on to my guitar
and to challenge myself to play it,
instead of being engulfed by its size （｀・Θ・´）

I’m small—
But I’ll do my best de-ariyasu!!!

Everyone~ Please cheer for me (*・Θ-*)
