Everyone-
There’s 3 days left in this year- (* *)

Wow, it feels like we’ve just rushed through this entire year!!…
And something impossible will be coming next year…
But I’d like to welcome the new year with calm spirits ^^;

Yes!! Take a deep breath-

In- Out-

It’ll be alright (^Θ^) Time won’t run away

Even when the new year comes,
we’ll surely have enough time (*・Θ-*)

Ah! But to everyone who has to work over the new year
Hang on!!
Fight- Image Image

Alright, as for me
Ever since that day when Momoclo received a new challenge
I feel like I’ve grown up a little bit ♪
(Oh, not as a dango ^^; lol)

I mean,
we’ve been performing with so many distinguished guests
these few days (* *) It’s just too much!!

So many eminent artistes right before our eyes
at Fuji TV’s Christmas Party,
and at the live broadcast…
It’s been a long while, but I felt that my heart was going to burst (>Θ<)

I mean,
I got to sing a duet
with Ise Shouzou-san himself, who wrote the lyrics and composed
“Nagori yuki” and “22-sai no wakare”
Full of tears of gratitude (*T T*) Can’t stop my trembling Image

Lots of other distinguished guests performed right before our eyes,
singing live,
and we got to sing along as well ♪
It was such a joyful time de-ariyasu
(Oh, Nishikawa-san also made us laugh until our tummies hurt ^w^)

To everyone who performed with us
Thank you so much Image Image

And to everyone who watched the show ♪
(My family has finally started watching SkyPark and NEXT ^^)

However,
yesterday’s M-Sta Super Live Image

was another gathering of eminent artistes (* *)
(Thank you to everyone who watched ♪ and commented! *^^*)

It’s just so unbelievable
Momoclo-chan is living a dream everyday Image Image

Someone~ Please pinch my cheek-!! ><

Anything that’s written in the schedule book will come true .:*:゜☆

I’m not Rikopii (the girl from the NHK Christmas drama ^^)
But she makes me want to believe
in the impossible…

And I’m the sort who is really realistic and grounded
But I’ve been having such thoughts recently de-ariyasu Image

Ah- before I go to bed tonight
I shall write something down in my schedule book for next year (*’-’).:*:゜☆

Oh well ♪

P.S.
We put on our favourite costumes
For the ending of M-Sta~ Image

Shiori wore red
Reni wore yellow
I wore pink

Ah!! It’s the “supported” team colours!… w( ̄▽ ̄;)w

——

Notes:
1. Rikopii is the character Momoka plays in Christmas drama Tenshi to Jump. She believes that anything that’s written in her schedule book will come true.
2. The “supported” team is the opposite of what the Momoka-Reni duet unit calls themselves: Team “More support from the office” (Jimusho ni motto osare tai)

We performed at
M-Sta Super Live 2013!

Thank you to everyone who watched it- ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

We performed
“GOUNN” and “Roudou sanka”! (*´艸`*)

It was so much fun- Image

And we were there
among all the really distinguished artistes…

It was just like a dream Image

Aarin is so lucky- Image

Maybe she’ll go watch the recording now (*´ω`*)

Ah, that’s right! ( ̄▽ ̄)

Everyone needs to check out the part
where Aarin pulls the tape off the camera
as she sang “kokoro de abareru”! (laugh)

It’s such a shame though,
Aarin couldn’t stay until the very end of M-Sta Super Live (´・ω・`)

She’ll need to work hard so that we can get invited again next year!
