Ahh— It’s over…
My last solo meet-and-greet session

Today, I visited Touin in Mie Prefecture,
then ended off at Tsushima in Aichi Prefecture ☆

And just as I was
finally slowly getting used to hosting 30-minute chat sessions on my own—…

But I reaffirmed one thing!!

That I’m really bad at talking de-ariyasu （・Θ・;）

I’ve always stood quietly to the right side,
nodding in agreement to what the other members say,
so to ask me to stand in the centre and speak is just— >∀<*)

Thanks to everyone's consideration,
no matter which cinema I visited,
I was welcomed with wonderful costumes and a warm atmosphere,
and the entire venues were all dyed in green (* *)

There can't be a place happier than that, really (*T T*)

Thank you so much ♪

Today, lots of people were dyed in green as well
for my final day as a teen,
and to spend that time with my be—————loved Mononofu and Momonofu
was such happiness de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)
With this, I’ll be able to welcome my 20th year with no regrets ^ ^ ♡

To everyone who sent in congratulations
and cheers for me
even though they couldn’t meet me at the cinemas

Thank you ♪ I’m really grateful de-ariyasu (*>∀<*)

Just one more day left of the nationwide pilgrimage ☆
Tomorrow is the last!!

Finally, all the members will gather
and have lots of fun together——— (*^o^*)

Okinawa— ♪
When I appeared, everyone suddenly used color paper to create the “Momo” (杏) kanji of my name…
The banner also made me really happy too— (*^^*)

Most importantly, I’m glad to be able to do what I really wanted to do at Okinawa (*’-’*)
When we came here to host a Momoclo concert the last time,
it was during the period when I lost my voice, so I didn’t manage to sing.
Today, we all sang the island song together, and it was just so great that I cried~ .:*:゜☆
I hope all of Momoclo will come here next time to hold another concert— (*>∀<*)

And then,
I headed to Aichi Prefecture’s Higashiura next!
I was really so happy
when everyone sang a really heartwarming happy birthday song for me— (*^Θ^*)

Seriously, Ariyasu,
you cried at both Okinawa and Higashiura today…
This is too dangerous…
At this rate, I’ll run out of Ariyasu-sui (laugh)

I’ll return to Aichi Prefecture again tomorrow evening,
so wait for me— ♪

Yesterday was Zeep Tokyo ♪

Thanks to everyone who came to the venue,
and everyone who watched the LV (*^Θ^*)

It’s been a while since we’ve been to Zeep Tokyo.
We’ve held numerous concerts there,
and it just brought back lots of memories ☆

Everyone also congratulated Aarin on her graduation ♡

TAKAHASHI once a month!!
Everyone’s power each time is so awesome (*>∀∀<*)

Even better,
it seems like more people went to watch the LVs showing around the whole of Japan this time

It's really awesome each time~!
And my heart feels so full de-ariyasu (*’-’).:*:゜☆

Before I knew it, my last concert as a teen
ended in just the blink of an eye ^^;
With us dressed in Aarin T-shirts, drawn by artist Shiori (lol)

Oh! About my shoe flying off during the show—
Well, it was truly a Momoka-style accident |Θ・）

To retain the feelings of youth like a teen ←
But to exert the charms of an adult ♡

In addition,
I also hope to deliver my feelings and power ☆

So everyone~ Please support me (*・Θ-*)

And to the people who quickly went to purchase “Seishunfu”,
and the people who went to watch the movie, plus “Maku ga Agaru, sono mae ni.”
Everyone, everyone~ Thank you! (*^Θ^*)

Today, I went to Okinawa → Aichi
Just 3 more days of meet-and-greet left ☆

I’ll go full of smiles, so please support me~ (*^O^*)

~Photos~
Off shots taken during the movie filming!

There’s still lots more photos,
and I’ll upload them next time—
Also look forward to photos from the nationwide pilgrimage— (*￣ー￣*)

Posted on 2015-03-11 01:46:56

Finally, “Seishunfu” will be released tomorrow

Today’s flying get day ☆

Which means that
together with everyone
(Though there must be lots more who haven’t gotten it yet ^^;)

I’ve finally got my copy de-ariyasu (*・Θ-*)

It’s been such a long wait that I just wanted to go to the CD shop and get it myself
So when I begged the staff to let me

I was allowed to visit the L-MYLORD branch of Yamano Music at Shin-yurigaoka— ♪

Then, when I got home from the meet-and-greet sessions
we watched the PV together as a family for the first time de-ariyasu （・Θ・;）

How did they find it? ♪ How did they find it? ♪

So today,
I did meet-and-greet sessions
at Minami-oosawa, Fuchu, and Shin-yurigaoka ☆

↓ In opposition to the other members,
the Ariyasu team went to take purikura shots too (^m^)

↓ Kikuko ♡
Thanks for coming to watch the movie ♡

I’ve been thinking about this recently,
that when I speak on my own, without using a mic,
it sort of feels like I’m doing “MomoKatari” (^Θ^)

And for that,
everyone has always given me a warm welcome to help me relax,
and listens patiently to my stories.
It really makes me so happy, and I have so much fun! (*>∀<*)

And everyone's voices can reach me too ♪

Then, just as usual,
thanks for sending in so many message cards, letters, and presents to me ♡

But the number of days left to do this is slowly decreasing,
and it makes me slightly sad… (*_ _*)

Oh well! There'll always be concerts and stage shows ♪

Lots of chances to meet up again ☆

And through this blog too,
I'll always be able to reach out to everyone here— (*・Θ-*)

So! ♪
This is Nakanishi-san in uniform before the transfer!!

And Nakanishi in sailor school uniform de-ariyasu (*^^*)

I’ve given a small hint in the previous entry,
so quite a number of people predicted that this would happen! ^^;

And so,
I went to Matsumoto and Maizuru today (*・Θ-*)

There were only 2 venues,
so I managed to host in an easy and calm manner ♪

Thanks to everyone who came (*^Θ^*)

Oh yeah, talking about Maizuru,
we came here once, when we were still Momoclo without the “Z”
for a grape harvesting event ^_^ with fans ☆

Remembering that just felt so nostalgic~ (*’-’*)

Yep, I recall
how the grapes were so delicious so we nicknamed Yamagata Prefecture as BUDOKAN,
and did an event there (laugh)

We used to do such things~ .:*:゜☆

And went to so many places~ .:*:゜☆

And now, we also get to visit lots of places for meet-and-greets (^m^) Fufu! ♪

The number of people who have watched the movie is steadily increasing

I wonder
if Nakanishi will end up gaining more fans than Ariyasu… (laugh)

Well, that’s not a bad thing too (^m^)

What will make me happiest
is if everyone can see how the two are different people and accept both of us! ☆

And now, I’ve come to understand
the feelings of voice actors and actresses a little better (*’-’).:*:゜☆

And then~ today,
while we were hosting the meet-and-greet sessions,
our eldest ☆ my Osaretai partner
Reni held her solo concert ♪♪♪

Ariyasu watched over Reni from afar today
during the time she was moving between venues |Θ・）

There were a few people who were going for the solo concert
after my meet-and-greet, and some who had already gone.
Everyone was smiling

Seeing their smiles
just made me feel really happy too （*^Θ^*)

As expected ☆ from “Egao ga ichiban!! Reni-chan” ♪

You did a really great job today! (*^^*)

Oh! Yes yes ♪
And then—

Kitagawa Keiko-san
wrote a really long review of “Maku ga Agaru” on her blog (* *)

I was shocked to find out that she’d gone to watch the movie,
but to know that she had also written a review… ☆

Reading it made me tear up (*T T*)

Kitagawa Keiko-san
is really a senpai whom I’ll always look up to… ☆

So, tomorrow is the 2nd day of return meet-and-greets!!

I’ll be visiting Minami-oosawa, Fuchuu, and Shin-yurigaoka ☆

Everyone I’m meeting tomorrow ♪
I’m looking forward to seeing all of you, so please support me— (*・Θ-*)

Note: Nakanishi-san is the character Momoka plays in “Maku ga Agaru”.

Everyone, thanks for all the comments (*T T*)

I’ve read about half of them,
and decided to come write an entry de-ariyasu （・Θ・）

I’ll make it quick
with a report of the meet-and-greet sessions from the past 2 days (*・Θ-*)

First, all of us
went to Sendai and Fukushima yesterday ♪

Thanks to everyone who came— (*^^*)

Oh! We also got to eat beef tongue de-ariyasu (*>∀<*)

Then, today,
I went to Gunma and Saitama alone for 4 meet-and-greet sessions— ♪

Wow! For this nationwide pilgrimage,
I’ve conquered all of Tohoku, with the exception of Yamagata

It’s a rare chance, and because I wanted to conquer the whole of Tohoku

I called Shiori, who was doing the session at Yamagata

And we sang the Yamagata part together ♪

And with that,
I’ve successfully conquered all of Tohoku （^Θ^;）

Peace v(*￣ー￣*)v

After that ♪
I conquered the whole of Saitama too— v(^Θ^)v

All the Mononofu who welcomed me at the various venues
were all really so powerful ☆

With yesterday and today,
I’ve been fully recharged again de-ariyasu (*>∀∀<*)

Oh! Of course, I get to see it all during concerts as well

But the cinema just gives me a unique sense of closeness with everyone

I will treasure the rest of the meet-and-greet sessions to come
as I do my best to chat with everyone (*’-’*)

Oh! If only I can be more sociable
so that those who come to see me can enjoy themselves more…

But why…

No matter how I try,
I somehow always chat for too long…

Please excuse me ^^;

Well. I'll come back again,
and there are plans next week to show everyone a slightly different Nakanishi-san (￣ー￣)
So those who are coming, look forward to that ♪

Then, thank you so much
to everyone at the cinema
with all their elaborate costumes and warm welcomes (*^^*)

And then and then, lastly~

Aarin (´∩ω∩`*)　
Congrats on your high school graduationnnnnnnnnnn— .:*:゜☆

Wow wow…
With her serious and sexy style,
it seems like Aarin’s graduated from high school a long time ago

But it’s somehow a little lonely
now that we won’t get to see the cute Aarin in her school uniform anymore…!!

But we’ll always be the weekend heroines— ♪

And we’ll keep the cosplays coming—! (*￣ー￣*)

So! It’s been a while,
but maybe I’ll listen to Mr.Children’s “I’ll be” before going to bed ♪

First…..

Yesterday’s Folk Village

Due to my nervousness,
the changes which had been made to the original schedule ended up causing so much chaos.

And to think that
the programme had gone all the way to plan a surprise birthday celebration for me

Everyone,
sorry that I had caused you to worry (*_ _*)

And to everyone who hurriedly sent in comments to give me courage

All the kindness of your casual words
Made me so happy I almost cried (*T T*)

Thank you for everything… ☆

By the way, I was truly shocked by the surprise,
and am really so happy… ♪

And I can’t stop smiling whenever I see the cake (*^^*)

Being able to celebrate at different venues like this every year
is really such a joyful thing,
and I truly feel so very grateful~ .:*:゜☆

Kikuko ♡ Band members ♡ Staff ♡
And all the members, thank you so much (*^^*)
(Aarin, congrats on graduating high school ♪ Sorry for not being able to celebrate that fully today ^^;)

And then, it’s a little late,
but here are the answers to the quiz I set a few days ago ♪

Everyone—
Thanks for sending in so many answers (*>∀<*)

I glanced through the comments,
and because I had given hints this time,
there were quite a few people who hit jackpot— ☆★☆

Oh! But there were quite a number who didn't manage to do so （・Θ・;;）

The answers are~

Date
Mondai no aru restaurant
and OUROBOROS (*・Θ-*)

And so,
those who hit the jackpot ♪

Yay———!!!!!

It's been an eventful day,
but I'm fine de-ariyasu~ ♪ So…

Everyone, don't worry (^Θ^)

KISS-san ★ is the best—!!!!(*>∀＜*)

Yesterday, at the dreamt-of venue Tokyo Dome,
I witnessed the best scenery (*^^*)

It was such a hot hot ho~t concert
where I experienced the roaring echo of hard rock up close ☆

The performance was also amazing,
with a unique presentation that only KISS-san could pull off (* *)

We were just so lucky to have had the chance to take part in such a precious concert,
even if it’s only for a tiny part at the end (*’-’*)

To the Mononofu-san who came to see us ☆ Thank you (*^^*)

That passionate stage which we tasted together
will always be our treasure ♪ So let’s treasure it ☆

And then, to KISS-san
who always treated us in such a precious way

But also respected us as fellow artistes

Thank you so much (*’-’*)

All the enjoyable times we spent together were really the best (*>∀<*)

I believe that we'll get to meet again someday… ☆

When that happens,
I'll have become a better lady
who is really suited to be carried bridal-style— (*・Θ-*)
So wait for that (laugh)

And the electric guitar and sticks.
I’ll always treasure them… with all my heart ☆

But rather than putting them on display
I want to hold them,
learn with them…

I’ll work hard
so that someday, I’ll be able
to perform music with either the guitar or drums! （*｀・Θ・´*）

When that happens, I hope they’ll be ok with me sending them a video of that!!! (laugh)

Oh, but before that,
I’ll need to be able to speak English a little more ^^;

P.S.
The answers to the drama question from the previous entry
will be revealed the next time… (*・Θ-*)

Posted on 2015-03-03 18:49:19

Ye—————s ♪
It’s the next day, which means it’s time for “Momo’s Festival” ← no link

And time for a breather de-ariyasu (*>∀<*)

It’s ok if we talk about things
that aren’t Momoclo sometimes, right? （*^Θ^*）

And so,
let’s talk about some cool dramas I’m watching now ♪

So, what are they???!!

I’ve been recording episodes for the past few weeks,
so some of them have already finished airing

I have 3 drama series in total on hand now de-ariyasu （*・Θ・*）

Those who can guess all 3…
Are amazing!!! ☆

Hints?…

“Ghost writer” and “Kane no sensou”
are 2 shows which everyone keeps recommending and I’ve been meaning to watch,
but since there wasn’t time, I haven’t started on them at all! (T T)

And so, the 3 on hand right now excludes these 2— ♪

Hmm?!
I guess that’s not really a hint (^^;)

I don’t think I’ll be able to keep track of everyone’s replies this time,
but if you happen to get it right, I’ll say “Bingo ☆★☆!”
and give you a high-five through the blog—! (*>∀<*)

P.S.
I spelled "years" wrong in the last entry… Hmm?! Are there more errors…?
Sorry for always being so clumsy— ^^;

Bonus photo ☆

Ehh—… (? ?)

I’ve not blogged for about 2-3 days,
and there’s already so much that I want to write about— (* *;)

Ermm— First~

MSta MSta ♪

KISS-san is in Japan right now, so~

Well! Well! ☆

We did a collab performance together
on 2 songs, “Yume no ukiyo ni saite mina” and “Rock and Roll All Night” (*・Θ-*)

Fufu! ♪ It seems like
I really have a destiny with large people (*￣ー￣*)

Isn’t it great? ♪ Isn’t it great? ♪

Well, to KISS-san,
we must appear like mere children ^^;

Every time we meet them, they’ll call us cute names
like “tiny” and “7 yaers old” de-ariyasu （*・Θ・*）

But there were people who said that when Eric carried me bridal-style at the end of MSta,
it looked like he was carrying a baby—!!

Hey, that’s exaggerating a little! （｀・Θ・´） (laugh)

Just 2 more weeks,
and I’ll be a true 20 year old de-ariyasu （*｀・Θ・´*）

He told me that it was “alright to hit the drums ♪”
during “Rock and Roll All Night”,
so I got into the mood
and was totally enjoying myself
that I really crashed the cymbals ☆ with all my might! (^m^)

Live performances are definitely so much fun——— (*>∀<*)

Ahh— Can the concert come sooner? (*’-’).:*:゜☆

Oh!! We'll be making a small appearance
on 3 March with KISS-san at Tokyo Dome— (* *)

Alright, let's burst out———!!!!!

And then and then,
the meet-and-greet sessions are proceeding well too ♪

2 days ago, I visited Ikebukuro, Roppongi and Shinjuku
And yesterday, I visited Oita and Hakata— (*・Θ-*)

To everyone who was at the Hakata meet-and-greet ☆

There were some who came from far away too! .:*:゜☆

Thank you all! (*^^*)

At Shinjuku 2 days ago,
aside from Director Motohiro and Hirata Oriza-san,
Shiga-san and Kuroki Haru-san were there too ♪

The movie has finally been released,
and it really feels like the curtains have been lifted across the country ☆

Oh! At Oita,
the surprise 7-tag call for “words”
really made me shed grateful tears de-ariyasu (*T T*)

Then, Hakata!!
Despite the sudden announcement,
everyone managed to rush down (← Mononofu is always amazing! (* *))
Thank you for that too— (*^^*)

Maybe some people out there
have already watched the movie many times??

Thank you so much! （*^Θ^*)

Oh! To those who have yet to watch it,
please please make your way down to the cinema
when you have the time! (*・Θ-*)

And the TV programmes too.
Thank you for always
watching and writing in your reviews! (*^^*)

Grateful ♪ Grateful ♪

And this year,
I think we’ve received the UStream Award again (* *)

And we’ll be hosting a 24-hour session again~
Everyone— Get ready!! ☆ (laugh)

(I’ll definitely do a MomoKatari if there is time too— （*・Θ・*）)

And then and then…

I heard Akko-san’s radio
on Saturday too ♪

I was just so very happy
that the tears just came (*T T*)

If only we can get together again
someday, on some programme…

Oops… Now I’m being a little greedy ^^;

Though I’m also afraid of lots of things… Sorry (*_ _*)

No!! But…!!!!!

Isn’t it normal to be just a little greedy
when it comes to things you like or want?!! （｀・Θ・´）

So I’ll work hard de-ariyasu! （*｀・Θ・´*）

Next week will continue
to be another busy week

But surely everyone has their own things to accomplish as well?? (*’-’*)

So let’s tackle them together, one by one— (*・Θ-*)

Fight!!!!!
