And so,
as Taka-san has named me
I’ll be known as “dango” from now on ☆
My special trait is doing somersaults （｀・Θ・´）
That’s it (laugh)
Nah, I was joking (^m^)
I’m not Dango-
I’m Momo- (lol)
With that,
to everyone who doesn’t like to eat it,
though I actually don’t know of any~
Thank you-
Ah! Sazae Tsuboyaki
was so delicious-
I wanted everyone to have a taste too! （^Θ^）
The filming was so funny I almost died laughing
Ahh, such fun memories~ (*’-’).:*:゜☆
Oh yes-
From 19:00 on today, on Nippon TV
I’ll be appearing on the programme
“Robot Nippon Ikketsu Teisan! Real Robot Battle”- (lol)
Everyone~ Please watch it if you can-
(If this is updated later than the showtime, I’m sorry ><;)
Ah! Momoclo-chan has been
having fun with preparations for Momokuri and rehearsals-
I went for the filming
for the opening movie today too
(It was so cold {{{{(+＿+)}}}})
Everything is going smoothly de-ariya-su
There’s lots of off-shots too,
and I’ll upload them next time-
I guess everyone is in a panic now
due to the year coming to a close, but
Listen to good music, do things you enjoy to recharge
And spend the rest of 2013
Meaningfully ♪
Happily ♪
Healthily ♪
And~ if we can all welcome 2014
together with energy, it’ll be the best (*’-’).:*:゜☆
It’ll be getting colder from now on
So please take care not to catch a cold
I’ll be sending you ☆ Dango power~~~ (lol)

New single “Feel the love / Merry-go-round” will be released on 25 December, 3 years after last single “L” was released in September 2010!
In April, Hamasaki Ayumi welcomed her 15th debut Anniversary, and after the conclusion of the much-praised nationwide Arena Tour which played for around 220,000 audience, ayu has continued to evolve and created this heartful new work, which includes 2 new songs in a double A-side single. “Feel the love” is the world’s first sound produced work by “DJ Hello Kitty”, featuring the world famous character Hello Kitty, who boasts passionate fans from all over the world! The song is based on EDM or Electric Dance Music, which has taken the US and world by storm. Composed by Komuro Tetsuya, it is an uplifting tune fused with Komuro’s signature catchy melodies.
“Feel the love” is the theme song for the H.I.S. campaign CM, which will start airing today, as well as the opening theme song for TBS TV’s nationwide net “CDTV” for Dec-Jan period!
The other track is sound produced by world famous producer unit m-flo! A number composed by ☆Taku, intended for the dancefloorm, with a catchy melody and VERBAL Rap, it is a first-rate track that shows off ayu’s new charm.
Both tracks are mixed by Jaycen Joshua, a sound engineer who has worked on many hit songs by top US artists, and mastered by Dave Kutch, NY’s up-and-coming engineer.
The DVD will include 2 video clips, both shot in L.A. Furthermore, a special version limited for “TeamAyu” members will include an extra video clip, featuring a personal interview with ayu about the new songs!!
