Listening to music now ❤️
Recently, I’ve been listening to music while commuting to work!
I usually listen on my mobile phone, but I’m on my iPod now!
A pretty purple. (lol)
With purple earphones. (lol)
A purple person who loves purple above all else, aka “purson”. (lol)

Thanks for letting me crack that joke.

Hey, has everyone gone to view the cherry blossoms? Takagi plans to go as soon as she can get some time off! Cherry blossoms at night will be great too! It’s been getting warmer too!

When I was young, I would bring home the beautiful cherry blossom petals which had fallen, and press them between books to make dried flowers~!
Then I would use it together with colored cellophane paper to make stained glass collages, or create dishes with it using play-doh.
I really loved doing that~!
I used to stay up late as a kid, so Mama, Grandma and I would play at night! (lol)
We’d go shopping at night to buy ingredients!
It was just so much fun!
Then every Friday, Grandma and I would watch online programmes until about 5 a.m., after which we’d go for walks (lol)
Then! I’d watch radio aerobics, sleep a little, then go to lo~ts of places with Mama on our bicycles!
In the afternoon, we’d come home for a nap, then I’d spend the day with Grandma while Mama went to work!
During that time, I’d watch anime, or go somewhere with my cousins who come to visit every weekend!

When I entered middle school, I would go on walks with Mama and Papa all night for about 6 hours! We’d go to see night scenery!

Everyday was so different from now, but so fun too~
Aren’t all childhood memories such wonderful things?
Isn’t it great?
If I become a mother one day, I want to treasure that time!

Momota Kanako: Ice-cream ♥

I really love Baskin-Robbins’ Oreo Matcha ice-cream… ♥ It’s just the perfect deliciousness!! But I have to wait until 24 April (。・ω・。)

Also, Häagen-Dazs’ “hanamochi roasted soybean brown syrup”, which was so popular they stopped selling it for awhile. It was really delicious too (／▽＼)♪

In fact, I’ve been really interested to try it, so I begged mum to buy several during the single release date ♪
But the other members kept saying, “I want to eat it! Bring it!”, and they were so noisy that I brought them some! (laugh)
It was my first time bringing ice-cream from Shizuoka! (laugh)
I really thought it would all melt, but they were saved by the cold pack, ice, refrigerant and season (*￣∇￣)

I wanted to try the “mitarashi walnut” flavor too, but I didn’t manage to… 💦
Those who have tried it, please tell me what you think! (*^^*)

Wow~ Yesterday was cold!!
Eeek!! I mean…it was badddddd (((((( ;ﾟДﾟ)))))

With this kind of cold, it may even snow again! (+ +)

Cold has really returned!!!!!

Everyone~ Have you caught a cold??! （； ；）

For me… I’ve not caught a cold because I’ve been healthy since last year, but the symptoms of hay fever is slowly starting to creep up on me…
…
Uuh, so I can’t say I’m totally fine
|Θ-｀*) Sniff!! Atishoo ε=(｡›ω‹｡)

Anyway, when I was crossing the road today, lots of people suddenly dashed across the road in the moment when the flickering green man turned red, and I was unfortunately overwhelmed (+ +;)

The light would have turned green quickly again anyway!

Once again, I just felt that human beings are such… interesting creatures (* *;)

Like when we rush to buy things just because they’re nearly sold out

Hmm?! I guess there are more examples too (’ ’;)

But… this isn’t the place to talk about such random things, huh? ^^;

I wanted to upload the remaining off-shots today, but I wrote an unnecessarily long entry again de-ariyasu （｀・Θ・´）

And with that, movie off-shots all at one go~ ♪

By the way, I think there will be a live recording of Momoclo-chan this weekend (*・Θ-*)

Then Dontaku next weekend ★☆

Even though the nationwide pilgrimage has ended, I’m still able to meet everyone! (*>∀<*)

Alright!! I’ll work hard at rehearsals———☆★☆

Today’s BGM ♪
Alexandros’ “Wataridori” （・Θ・）

Some time ago, Aarin came home to find that her kitchen was filled with really splendid parsley plants

The Sasaki home had never been so full of parsley before

Aarin wondered if they were for decorative purposes

But they were for her beauty and health ❤❤

For Aarin’s beauty and health ❤❤ ← It’s important, so she said it twice. (laugh)

She was going to challenge herself to cooking dishes with parsley!!

But parsley is usually served together with Aarin’s favorite fried foods, right?

That’s true… but she always ends up eating just the fried food, totally ignoring the parsley.

But she wondered if it was better to eat parsley as well, so this was her plan to conquer it!

The parsley that Aarin hates and never eats…

But she’s interested in this challenge 🙌

Mama said that starting well is important, so she cooked it in a way that made it easy to eat!

First up was parsley omelette 🍴

A fluffy fried egg filled with lots of parsley, onions and bacon.

It was alright ♪
It’ll be delicious ♪

So she conquered parsley with enjoyment! (`･ω･´)

Then, this morning was parsley onigiri 󾥡

Aarin’s favorite onigiri with sakura shrimp, white sesame and salted lemon 󾥡 with parsley!

That’s ok! It was an easy feat!
And so delicious…

The parsley was a beautiful green, so it looked really nice too (^ω^)

If she continues to conquer it so well, maybe she’ll be able to eat it raw someday?

Some off-shots from “Maku ga Agaru”!!

The scene where everyone’s beloved Akemi-chan first appears. (laugh)

Misa’s note:
1. Akemi is the character Aarin plays in Maku ga Agaru.

U-gya-gya-gyaaa!
The pollen these days is just too much!
And the cold is back againn((((；ﾟДﾟ)))))))
How terrible-ble-ble!

But we went to scout out a location this morning (^_^)v Such happiness.

And now let’s change the topic. Remember how I talked about staying up till 5 a.m. to clean up my room last week? This week, I rewatched Pocahontas and Pocahontas 2 after more than a decade, and sobbed my eyes out at 5 a.m. (･･;)
I really really recommend them!
So, I was in a different mood yesterday, so I put on some girly clothes, packed up my Funasshi rucksack, and went out shopping for the things I wanted. I really felt like a girl!
And I’ll be 22 soon!

I’m a great lady, so look at this!

Many people have told Takagi that she looks more mature these days. What do you think?

I also want to get a haircut similar to how it was like last May. What do you think?

Hey hey, let me know! ( ^ω^ )

Tamai Shiori: Onnagawa Town!

Yesterday, we took part in the Onnagawa Town Recovery Festival! ^ ^

To be able to meet everyone from Onnagawa Town after such a long time and create an atmosphere of oneness during the concert made me really happy.

And then, our friends from the Onnagawa elementary and middle schools practiced “Seishunfuu” and sang it together with us.

I was so happy~.

They seemed really nervous during the rehearsal, but they sang so loudly during the actual performance!

And everyone at the venue sang along together as well! ♪

Because this song is really suitable for a sing-along, I’ve always wanted to sing it with lots of people, like with schoolmates~

I’m really grateful to have that wish come true.

Please continue to sing! 😊

And, our friends from Onnagawa who always receive us with a smile

Gave us so much energy again ^ ^

Thank you.

We made a promise, BFF.

Best friend forever ♡

The town with our friends. The town which changes slowly every time we visit!

Seeing the imposing train station made me recall the hopeful faces of everyone at Onnagawa. We’ll ride on the train and visit again.

Let’s all stir the spirit of Onnagawa Town up from now on too!

Thank you!

We hosted the Onnagawa Town Recovery Festival yesterday!!!

Through a concert, we created the same memories with our friends at Onnagawa 🙌

Thank you to everyone who waited for us at Onnagawa (`･ω･´)

And thank you to everyone who came down to Onnagawa (`･ω･´)

We were so glad that everyone was so excited during the concert!

A concert surrounded by the mountains just felt so good and fun 🌱🌱

We also performed “Seishunfuu” together with the elementary school students of Onnagawa town, chatted with everyone from Onnagawa Sangai FM, and ate Onnagawa’s delicious seafood…

Aarin wanted to deliver smiles to everyone

But she received lots of smiles from everyone at Onnagawa this time too, and learned something precious \( ˆoˆ )/

Thank you, everyone at Onnagawa 😌

The people of Onnagawa and Tohoku are really wonderful~

And thank you to all the Mononofu (^ω^)

The colorful Mononofu amidst the green saplings seemed like a prelude to a beautiful field of flowers 🌸

Thank you so much.

↑ Our friends from Onnagawa Sangai FM ❤

And an Aarin cosplayer (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Aarin thinks a listener sent the costume in!

Thank you! ♪

And then, we saw the Onnagawa train station, which was reopened yesterday

Finally, the Onnagawa train station is ready, and it was really crowded with people (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

This train will connect town to town, people to people, and deliver smiles!

We heard from Onnagawa Sangai FM’s Abemana-chan that there’s a hot spring inside the train station, about how peaceful the scenery of the town looks from inside the train, and how the shopping street in front of the station will get more prosperous from now on.

We didn’t get to ride on the train this time, but it’ll be great if we can do so the next time we visit— 🚃

Aarin really looks forward to it (。-∀-)

Thank you all so much for today!

We’ll come to play again ✊

So, everyone at Onnagawa ❤❤
Wait for us (laugh)

Today, we went to Onnagawa Town to meet our friends!!

Onnagawa Town changes every time we visit!
This time, the train station is up and running, and seeing the many other changes which had taken place since our last visit really made us feel the power of Onnagawa Town.

The little friends who had grown into adults since we last met, and the friends who are our age!
And of course, the powerful adult friends! (laugh)
I was so glad to meet everyone after so long again ♥

We sang Seishunfuu at the end of the concert, and
Wow! The Onnagawa elementary and middle school kids came on stage to sing it together with us ＼(^^)／

And everyone at the venue came together for a big singalong session!!!
Seriously…
That was really…
The best!!!

There were many shy kids amongst those who came up on stage, and everyone was really nervous since the rehearsal, and I felt that anxiety when I held their hands (´ω｀)
So I returned that tight grip with my own, and I felt real power in that strength! ☆
Thank you for singing together with us!!

Onnagawa Town will continue to rise in spirit, so let’s all stir up the spirit even more ↑↑

Thank you for today!! (*^^*)

The city is noisy, the people frustrated
The birds flown into the night are already asleep

Dreams, as if afraid of waking
The heart, afraid of being broken
Do not provide a single thing
And do not gain a single thing
Always searching for reasons

The canaries, with stifled voices
Are not unable to cry
The canaries, with stifled voices
Are not unable to cry
They may have just decided
Not to cry
Hurry and realize that
They may have decided
Not to cry
Hurry and realize, hurry…

街はざわめき 人は苛立ち
夜に飛び込む 鳥たちはもう おやすみ

夢が目覚めを 恐れるように
心が壊れゆくのを恐れ
何ひとつとして 与えようとせず
何ひとつとして 得ようともしないまま
いつでも 理由を探した

声を押し殺したカナリヤたちは
なけなくなったワケじゃなくて
泣かないようにと

声を押し殺したカナリヤたちは
なけなくなったワケじゃなくて
声を押し殺したカナリヤたちは
なけなくなったワケじゃなくて
ただ泣かないと決めただけ
だったのかも知れないと
早く気付いて
泣かないと決めただけ
かも知れないと
早く気付いていたならもっと…

If there is a journey
Leading to the past
It must be referring
To this journey now

The only things left are the words
Written on this scrap of paper

“Can I cry if I want to? Until my tears dry up”
“Can I cry if I want to? Until my tears dry up”

If there is something
I would bring on this journey
It would be
Memory and imagination
To search for and find the broken pieces
Which had been lost, and piece them together

“Can I scream in a loud voice? Until my voice dries up”
“Can I scream in a loud voice? Until my voice dries up”
Can you hear it…?

The flowers that should be blooming here
Are gone, but that is inevitable
Even if a day comes when
You hear this song alone, don’t forget

You can cry if you want to
Until your tears dry up
You can scream in a loud voice
Until your voice dries up
You can cry if you want to
You can scream in a loud voice
Time has passed…

過去へ向かう旅がもし
あったとしたなら
きっとこんな旅の事を
言うのでしょう

唯一残っていたものはこの
紙きれに書かれていた言葉

「泣きたいだけ泣いてもいい涙枯れてしまう位」
「泣きたいだけ泣いてもいい涙枯れてしまう位」

この旅に持って行く
ものがあるのなら
記憶力と想像力の
ふたつでしょう
すでに失くなったいつかの破片を
探して見つけては並べた

「大声で叫んでもいい声が枯れてしまう位」
「大声で叫んでもいい声が枯れてしまう位」
聞こえるかな…

ここに咲いていたはずの花が
今はなくてもそれは必然で
いつかこの歌をひとりで
聞く日来ても忘れないで

泣きたいだけ泣いてもいい
涙枯れてしまう位
大声で叫んでもいい
声が枯れてしまう位
泣きたいだけ泣いてもいい
大声で叫んでもいい
時は経った…
