Rainbow – Nishino Kana

from Believe single.

——

The future from here on out
Is all dyed in rainbow colours
Because you are beside me
Thank you, so glad today and tomorrow.

On the day we first met
We didn’t even know each other’s names
It’s so magical, together with you
I’ve gone through all the seasons

Before long, we’ve become similar
Maybe we’ve come to resemble each other too
Obsessed over so many of the same things
Sharing countless matching hours together

Have all my past loves
Failed so that I could meet you?
24/7 all days
If the fate of the future
Still ties us together
Let’s walk through tomorrow to forever

The future from here on out
Is all dyed in rainbow colours
Because you are smiling
Thank you, so glad today and tomorrow.

No matter how close we are
There are days when we can’t share together
It’s so magical, finding a new you
And loving you even more

Will we someday exchange vows
To make us more than lovers?
Even on days when we see different sceneries
I want to share these matching feelings

Now and forever
The search for happiness goes on with you
24/7 all days
No matter what kind of trials
Await us in the future
Let’s overcome them for tomorrow and forever

The future from here on out
Is all dyed in rainbow colours
Because I can hear your voice
Thank you, so glad today and tomorrow.

Riverside cherry blossoms in spring
Fireworks by the beach in summer
I want to watch them with you, hands held
Under the autumn moon
Watching Orion in winter
I want to cuddle close to you

You make me happy
You make me smile
every morning
from sunrise to sunset everyday
Baby you always make my day
Changing it into our anniversary

The future from here on out
Is all dyed in rainbow colours
Because I’m thinking of you
Thank you, so glad today and tomorrow.

Daybreak – ayumi hamasaki

from Daybreak single + I am… album.

——

Blaming it all on this era
Having lost our faces
We’ve lived all this while
Clinging on to life

Come, let us stand up together now
And win back our selves

No matter how far apart we are
We are under the same sky
As comrades on a journey
To that place we saw in our dreams that day
Never forget that

Surely, light and shadow
Are the same thing
Just close your eyes for a bit, look
You can naturally see

The sorrow beneath joy
And the hope after pain

No matter how far apart we are
We are always beside each other
Even on days when you feel crushed
There are people who love you
Remember that

Everything is not just coincidence
Maybe it is that all things are
Essential

No matter how far apart we are
We are under the same sky
As comrades on a journey
To that place we saw in our dreams that day
Never forget that

Aloha e komo mai – Lilo & Stitch

アロハ・エ・コモ・マイ (Aroha e komo mai) – Welcome, come inside

——

Always together, that’s ohana
One family, big family
With an aloha heart in a small chest
I can be kind, everyone is ohana
Aloha e komo mai

The sky after the rain, a sparkling rainbow bridge
A time will come when tears will dry up
If I spread the wings of my heart and sing aloud
The blue sky will answer, “welcome home”

Aloha, your place is here
Ohana, everyone is family, always

Always together, that’s ohana
One family, big family
With an aloha heart in a small chest
I can be kind, everyone is ohana
Aloha e komo mai

[Stitch] Iki tooki nee ha [tikis repeat]
[Stitch] Aka tiki baba [tikis repeat]
[Stitch] Gaba ika tasooba [tikis repeat]
[Stitch] Oocha [tikis repeat]
[Stitch] Chika [tikis repeat]
[Stitch] Miki miki coconut

Always together, that’s ohana
One family, big family
With an aloha heart in a small chest
I can be kind, everyone is ohana
Aloha e komo mai
Aloha e komo mai
Aloha

——

Misa’s note: Ohana means “family” in Hawaiian.

I know you love me
You know I love you…

Since the day we met till now
We’ve spent countless hours
With each other
When I think about it, we’ve had fun times
And fights which seem funny now
So many of it all

you & me, on our first trip
Even getting lost
Was fun when I was with you
It was all so enjoyable
me & you, me & you, making merry
Pressing our faces together
For a photo, such memories
Are our history

Always
Feeling one real love
found real love I was searching for
Because I found a gentle and warm place within you
I love you, I love you
Because you are the only one to grant me true love
beloved

I know you love me
You know I love you…

When we first got together
We were both showing each other off
Like kids doing the unreasonable
During the times we were apart
I pretended to be fine
Though I waited all the time for your return

wanna cry, my hidden tears
Suddenly overflowed
Though I knew it would hurt you
Because you were already so busy
when I cry, when I cry, you didn’t show
Any disagreeable face
“I love you”
You said as you held me tight

Always
Feeling one real love
found real love I was searching for
Because I found a gentle and warm place within you
I love you, I love you
Because you are the only one to grant me true love
beloved

stay with me… You’re my precious
be with you… I want to be your greatest ally
stay with me… Anytime, always, always
be with you… baby baby I love you forever

Always
Feeling one real love
found real love I was searching for
Because I found a gentle and warm place within you
I love you, I love you
Because you are the only one to grant me true love

Feeling one real love
found real love I was searching for
Because I found a gentle and warm place within you
I love you, I love you
Because you are the only one to grant me true love
beloved

love is all we need
just me & you…
so stay with me…
oh baby

Because you are the only one to grant me true love
beloved

AYU’s Message

Konnichihuahua. CREA is not here…… Yes!!! It’s the princess’ 3rd Anniversary~
I got a cake with my face on it. It came with the message ~Commemorating your graduation from “searching for a place of belonging”, moving onto a new journey to “search for yourself”~!!
Uuh, it made me cry~ They’ve said it, a journey in search of myself!!!!
In that mood, I flew to Hawaii and got super tanned. Erm, and I found it. I found myself. What makes me Hamasaki Ayumi!
Everyone, what is happiness to you? Happiness comes in different forms for different people. You have to create your own happiness, in your own form! Because that’s us girls

AYU’s Message

Erm… Ah, konnichihuahua. CREA hates udon.
Anyway, I was shocked when I saw the amount of bento & drinks in the backstage area today!
I know I have lots of staff, but it just hit me again today, just how many there are.
Firstly, there are 2 male managers, 2 female managers (?) Right? Or was that 3 males and 1 female? (laugh)
Then, 4 hair & make-up stylists. 4 stylists, and 1 FAN CLUB in-charge.
And then, there’s the big shot, nailist Bancho. Plus Ayu, that’s 15 of us!
That’s the usual number, right… (p.s. I thought I was a solo artiste?)
And so, we spend lots on food. If I had to summarize it into one word… *mutter*… *mutter*…
However, we have lots of fun because we’re a big group. Aren’t you jealous~? Ufu ufu. Spring ooh-la-la~

Tamai Shiori: Thank you for GOUNN tour!

GOUNN tour was held yesterday
IN Sendai!!

It was the tour finale!

The tour started out in September.
Regardless of whether it was a long or short journey, it was a super strong and wonderful tour!

This tour’s theme was
“the cycle of birth, death and rebirth”.

Kume Akira-san’s narration,
which played between the songs and after the show,
really got to my heart, and each live helped to clease my mood!

It’ll be really great
if all the fans who came to watch the show felt that way too ^ ^

The Mononofu at Sendai
were so powerful too, and we had a live that was fitting of the finale-!!

We also performed “Itsuka kimi ga”,
GOUNN’s coupling track, for the first time…

And some mysterious idols appeared too… (laugh)

It was an exciting live (*^o^*)!

My friends from Onagawa town came too!

Thank you for such a wonderful time.

And thank you to everyone who watched the live streaming too!

The GOUNN tour is over.
To the many staff-san,
and all the performers who got so crazy with us!
And all the fans, thank you-!!

Ah, we performed at the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles fan thanksgiving event today too!

I’ll talk about that in detail next time…!

We had the tour finale yesterday!
For this tour, we performed at 8 locations!
That’s more locations than the previous 5th tour, but it was great!
Yesterday’s Tohoku was the hottest place in the universe ( ´ ▽ ` )
The beef tongue we ate for lunch was delicious, and the Momoiro Clover Z bamboo grass pot Takamasa-san from the Kamabako main shop made for us!
I ate it too! Thankfully, it was all sold out at yesterday’s venue!
But but, it’s still available at the store and on the online shop, so please get it together with the other goods ☆ Let’s be friends!
And then, the Onagawa Saigai FM people and Takamasa-san came to enjoy the show too. We also received messages from the Grade 1 and 2 kids from Onagawa Elementary. Plus we got so crazy at the venue. I really felt so much love!

Thank you, everyone 
We really felt the friendship!
I love that about Miyagi ( ´ ▽ ` )

And then, thank you to everyone who came to watch the live streaming too 

After the show, the Onagawa Saigai FM people said this to us!
“Thank you to Momoclo-san for lending us a helping hand”
When we were the ones who should be thanking them.

I want to say thank you too.
Thank you, Tohoku!

The tour has ended successfully. To the dancers-san, staff-san, and all the Mononofu across the nation!
The GOUNN tour turned out wonderful because of everyone’s efforts!

Thank you all so so much!

Sasaki Ayaka: ☆This is Momoclo’s Aarin.☆

Thank you for soooooo… soooooooooo many cute flowers
at Miyagi Sekisui Super Arena yesterday (*´艸`*)

Aarin was really happy (`・ω・´)!

And then, and then,
thank you to everyone
for all your congratulatory comments!

Today is the 5th Anniversary

of the day Aarin joined Momoclo.

Thank you to everyone who remembered (*∩ω∩)

5 years ago, Aarin was still an elementary school kid
when she became a member of Momoclo.

To everyone who started supporting her since then,
and to everyone she hadn’t yet met at that time
but is supporting her now.

Everyone, thank you!

Of course,
thank you
to all the hako oshi too!

Aarin feels so blessed
to be congratulated by everyone (*∩ω∩)

These 5 years… weren’t filled with only happy things

Lots of things have happened-

But for the painful and sad things,
she didn’t really want everyone to know about those.

Yes, those things happen too (´・ω・`)

However, even during times when her heart felt crushed
She never once thought about quitting Momoclo.

Because everyone is helping Aarin to smile.

Because what gives Aarin strength
are the people who support Aarin.

She receives so much love
from everyone who supports her

Thank you all so much!

Please support her in the future too 

 Sasaki Ayaka
