Shanari hannari dorayaki hime – Mini Pati

31 Sunday Aug 2014

Posted by Misa-chan in lyrics, Mini Pati, Sakura Gakuin

≈ 1 Comment

しゃなりはんなりどら焼き姫 (Shanari hannari dorayaki hime) – Swaying elegant Dorayaki princess


from Sakura Gakuin 2013 Nendo ~kizuna~ album.

——

Dozing in glorious spring
The princess of coloured-glass
Dancing in circles as she grills sponge cake
Morning and evening, the spring wind fills with fragrance

Sakura petals
Light crimson red bean
The tiny princess at the end of the fork
Jumps with all her might
Pressing on the branding grill, and it’s done

Dorayaki beauty
A bashful sakura sauce
Delicious (swaying) (elegant) joyful
Long live Japan’s traditional ladies

Leisurely awakening
To the sweet fragrance
A feast (a dream) (reality) left
The princess has disappeared

Bouncy warabi mochi
Who is shaking it? Thieves?
Are you really making an appearance? Princess
Yawning and stretching, you appear once again!

After dorayaki
Comes a smooth cherry
Sakura ice-cream, a little stumble
Give it a lick, as the gentle breeze blows through the blooming profusion*

Dorayaki beauty
Soft skin like yoghurt
Butterflies (flutter) (gently) flowers
An alluring chaos of colours

Awakening to petals
Tickling her cheek
Magic (mystical) (possible) wrought
Where is the princess?

Soiya seiya
Choina choina
Everything is about
Dorayaki

Aiya aiya
Dedere koden
Come, take a rest
Have a taste

Dorayaki beauty
A bashful cherry blossom sauce
Delicious (swaying) (elegant) joyful
Long live Japan’s traditional ladies

Leisurely awakening
To the sweet fragrance
A feast (a dream) (reality) left
The princess has disappeared

Dorayaki beauty
Soft skin like yoghurt
Butterflies (flutter) (gently) flowers
An alluring chaos of colours

A single small handwritten note
Left on the plate
Mystical (but) (really) wonderful
Let’s eat, princess

——

Notes:
1. “Shanari” is a phrase derived from old Kyoto, and describes the walking motions of a maiko or apprentice geisha; swaying and slightly pretentious.
2. “Dorayaki” is a traditional Japanese dessert consisting of two slices of sponge cake with red bean jam in between.
3. “Sakura” are cherry blossoms.
4. “Warabi mochi” is a traditional rice cake dish made using bracken starch.
5. The line describing flowers blooming in profusion has an alternate meaning of “a gathering of many beautiful women”.
6. The chants during the bridge, “soiya”, “seiya”, choina”, “aiya” etc are Japanese festival chants.

Everyone! How have you been?!
This is Taka-san—!
I’m here to make an announcement—

Taka-san did a recording for something yesterday!
What is it, you ask…

Sekai fushigi hakken!

It was my first appearance, so I was nervous—
But, the casting staff were really kind, and gave me a frog charm so that the nervous me can get home safely,
so it all turned out really well!

Ahh— I was so nervous, but I did my best!
The O.A is next week, on 16 August!
Look forward to it!

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)

Yes! It’s here!

The period of popularity \(^o^)/

…amongst mosquitoes. (laugh)

So popular!

So popular!

Aarin was stung in 3 different places just on the elbow,
and it’s so swollen now— (°∀° )/ (laugh)

It’s so itchy,
but the skin at Aarin’s elbow feels so fragile, so she doesn’t dare to scratch too hard. It’s so frustrating (´・ω・`) (laugh)

Aaah, itchy!

6 August, Kiyono-san! Happy birthday (^v^)
I think you’ve struck lottery, having received a slap from Shiori!!! (laugh)

Please continue to be our wonderful boiled egg in the future (*゚▽゚*) (laugh)

The last photo is by Reni!
She drew this on the tape used to mark positions during our rehearsals, and said it was me. It’s not a good thing, is it?! (laugh)

Right—, Reni-san—?!!! (laugh)

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!!

Sorry for the late update…
The 2 days of summer Baka Sawagi have concluded successfully!
It was just so much fun!
It was actually raining on Day 2, but then, the rainbow appeared after that, like a miracle!
It was amazing ( ^ω^ )
When everyone’s gathered together, the energy sure is awesome. That was my thought as we fooled around!!
Both days were really so enjoyable!
So much so that I have no concrete memories, and even though it’s already August, the screws in my head are still loose, and I don’t feel like tightening them!
It was just like a dream, to have the most number of grand guests ever in history, from all over Japan, coming to grace our stage ( ^ω^ )
It was a show created by the guests, the staff, and all the Mononofu.
We had set the record for most number of audience and guests in history, but most importantly, the concert created on 26-27 July 2014 was truly one of a kind!
It was truly the most amazing concert, that even though so many days had passed, I still can’t believe it actually happened ( ^ω^ )
With the peach deities appeased, I’m sure they will continue to protect us!
Our screws will continue to be loose as summer progresses, as we slowly head towards Momokuri (laugh)

Ahh— Thank you for the best summer ever!

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-*)

It’s been a week since Toujinsai!

Wow, my excitement hasn’t died down yet. (laugh)
It was really, really,
the best summer festival!

Lots of different festival events
from all over the country
gathered here with us,
with lots of guests,
lots of band members,
lots of staff,
and lots of Mononofu
to create the biggest summer festival this year.
I’m just so happy ( ^ω^ )

There was a sudden thunderstorm at the venue
on Day 2,
and the concert had to be delayed for 1 hour.
Thank you
for waiting out in the rain for us.

But once the LIVE began,
a miracle happened…
There was a rainbow!

That’s just Baka Sawagi!
It was a lovely present on that special summer day!

I hope those 2 days were the best
evidence that we’d managed to hold the biggest summer fest
this summer—!!

It was so much fun,
being having a “baka sawagi” festival with everyone!!

Let’s work hard at tightening the screws in our heads!

Thank you ^ ^♡
