Step – Ohara Sakurako

ステップ (Suteppu) – Step

from Daisuki single.

——

I’ve never possessed overflowing confidence, but
I want to touch everything with my own hands

I want to believe in first impulses, feel my heart race
Everyday is a concert, it won’t end with moderation

Face screwed up with sadness, a shy smile
It doesn’t matter, I have my usual comrades

That small step of yours
Will make someone dance
So, so, now’s not the time
To give up yet

This small step of mine
Is connected to you
Look, look, once again today
I’ll remember this certain step with you

Just chasing after the light before our eyes
The ambiguous field of vision isn’t all sunny, but

Blundering, stumbling, we rise again every time
I want us to become blood relatives

Leaving a matter to chance, or thinking it over thoroughly
I’ll walk on at a pace I’ve decided

That small step of yours
Even if it hurts someone
But, but, someday again
A day of smiles will come

This small step of mine
Can I dance with you?
So, so, once again today
I’ll take this certain step alone

I want to dance with you someday
With this awkward step now

Tremolo rain – Ohara Sakurako

トレモロレイン (Toremoro rein) – Tremolo rain

from Daisuki single + V album.

——

I’ll walk towards tomorrow alone, Rainy day
Can’t go back to the yesterday we spent together

Raindrops on cherry blossom nails

Tip Tip Tap
Bouncing tremolo rain
A merry season’s refrain
Proof that I’ve loved with all my heart
Shone on my cheeks
This gentle rainy day
Makes me recall your warmth
Gazing at our separate sceneries
I’ll become even stronger

I’ve received happiness from you, but
How happy did I make you?

Regret from not asking

Tip Tip Tap
Jumping tremolo rain
Pain soaked in sorrow
Changing the previous sigh into a hum
Goodbye flies out
A single overflowing chord
With an accent that’s all my own
So that you’ll regret this
I’ll polish my future self

Blue sky above the clouds

Tip Tip Tap
Tip Tip Tap
Bouncing tremolo rain
A merry season’s refrain
Days when we fought
Days when we kissed
Were all love’s echo
When the melody descending from the clouds
Embraces my heart’s pain
Like the drops shining with light
I’ll overcome yesterday’s tears
Embrace the overlapping time
And make today’s smile shine

Daisuki – Ohara Sakurako

大好き (Daisuki) – I love you

from Daisuki single + V album.

——

Unable to say “I love you”
But I still want to deliver
my love forever

Text messages link and unlink us again today
I always feel defeated by this frustrating distance

Can’t genuinely convey “sorry” over the phone
But words like “see you”
Don’t want to say them more, this is fine
I mean, you are

Unable to say “I love you”
The only thing I can’t say
But I’m glad we’ve met
I want to treasure how we think alike
For my beloved you
my love forever

Suddenly, I received a scabbed over heart from you
Proof of the pain when we fought that summer

While I want you to chase after your dreams
I also really want us to be together
I want to cry, but I’ll show you a smile
I mean, you are

Unable to say “I love you”
How lonely were we?
But I can say it now
Let’s share our tears and smiles
My beloved you
I’m in love with you

Amidst the changing seasons, we hold hands and walk

“I love you”, I really do
A map of the future I’ve created with us
Someday, let’s say it together
“I’m glad to have lived”

Unable to say “I love you”
The only thing I can’t say
But I’m glad we’ve met
I want to treasure how we think alike
For my beloved you
my love forever

Takagi Reni: Don! Taku!

AE-limited concert, Hakata Dontaku!

2 days at Yahuoku Dome! It’s overrrrrrrrrrrrrr…

Totally in concert-withdrawal now.

Wow~ I remember us performing in a corner of the Dome as a sort of opening act for a baseball match during the MomoPunch era, but I never imagined taking up the entire place for a concert, surrounded by so many people!
Everyone, thank you so much for coming with us all the way here ( ^ω^ )

There were 4 stages this time, so that we could get just a little bit closer to everyone, and we walked around the entire space *\(^o^)/*
I saw everyone’s faces up close!
It was a crazy, sweat-soaked concert!

We also aired the preview for the 90-minute special on the Momoclo Poshlet’s TamaBox!
Then we announced the venue for the extra meet-and-greet sessions, hosted Nangoku no Peanuts-san as guests, and even announced the marriage of kind-san’s Nakajii, our make-up artist!
That was really frightening, and I somehow felt like a parent (lolol)

Then, everyone from 3B Jr. and F-girl’s came and we all went crazy on stage together!
Our really cute comrades!
Thank you!

And there was a super important 3B announcement too, right?
I want to work hard on that!
Let’s “oshi” together with me! (lol)

We also performed our new song. These 2 days were really too fun, and makes me want to work harder!
And Mononofu-san’s power really overwhelmed us!
Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who watched the LV too ( ^ω^ )❤️
We really received so much energy!
Please continue to support us!

Everyone, do rest well!

Goodnight, cat-punch ❤️😁

She’s probably just as excited as everyone else. (laugh)

Hmm, everyone is excited, right?

She’s getting worried here. (laugh)

It’ll be a special huge edition this time, so she got to make 2 books 😍😍😍😍😍

The Sasaki Ayaka edition and the Aarin edition!

Both will go on sale together (>_<)❤
How embarrassinggggggggg, but so happy!

So very happy!!

Besides, it’s a special edition, will Aarin be ok?

As for the locations, she got to visit France and London (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Kyaaa! ❤❤

Alone in France…///

Alone in England…///

It was so much fun (`･ω･´)

Sasaki Ayaka
Aarin

Both are who I am right now.

I want everyone to know more about me, and to love me more.

I did the photoshoots and interviews with all my heart.

So please read either one of the editions.

As for Aarin,

“Dontaku” is finally almost here!!

Everyone~ must be really interested to know more! ☆

What is the setlist? How will the stage be like? Will I get a good view from my seat? Lots of anticipation and excitement ♪

I understand ☆ When I attend concerts by my favorite artistes, I also think about lots of things (*’-’*)

And I also get worried about the weather too…

Oh! Not for the people watching the LV, though (*^^*)

Somehow, the weather as we moved from the weekend into a new week has been turning bad…

C-could it be?!! Aarin’s pressure?! (* *;)
Just joking (laugh)

But it doesn’t matter, even if it begins to rain

We’ll make the concert the best, together with all the Mononofu （*｀・Θ・´*）

That’s Momoclo’s quality~ ♪v(*’-^*)^☆

So, here’s some selfies for today~ (*^Θ^*)

…Not really!! (laugh)

Rave reviews, at rehearsal for Dontaku now!

The concert this time is really amazing, the things we get to do are ∞

Aarin is having lessons while imagining everyone filling up the audience.

To everyone coming! And everyone supporting us through LV!

Look forward to it! ♪

And then, Aarin has been reading recently.

She’s an intelligent girl! (`･ω･´) Sparkle~ ✨

She’s been reading while commuting to Onnagawa a while ago, as well as on the morning trains to work 󾭕

What has she been reading? Books by Hirata Oriza-san!

A copy of “The book of adventures of 16 year old Oriza” goes everywhere with her now!

And before the start of practices on stage, in order to revise on what Oriza-san has taught, she begged Mama to buy her “Performances and productions” as well.

And then, Mama went together with her to buy it 📕

Fufu! Oriza-san had such interesting experiences when he was a student (^ω^)

This book…is really amazing!!!

Or rather, Oriza-san is amazing!

Aarin didn’t realize how lacking in experience she was? Really sorry about that 󾭛

When he was 16, Oriza-san traveled around the world on a bicycle.

16? That’s younger than Aarin?

Aarin just can’t imagine travelling around the world alone.

Planning it, convincing her parents, setting off. She’s never even planned a vacation before.

How awesome.

Meeting different people from different countries, experiencing different things…

I’ve only known Oriza-san as the person he is now, but I’m imagining how he would be like back then as I read this

Furthermore, this book was written when he was 18, the same age as Aarin now!

The person travelling in the book has taught Aarin about theater~

And to have acted in a novel about youth that this 16 year old traveler later wrote…

And then to take up the challenge of theater, it’s just such a magical feeling.

But Aarin is glad that she’s met Oriza-san when they’re the same age!

She’d like to chat with him about various things the next time they meet 👀

Now, she needs to read the next book!

Aaahh!! The answer from the previous entry!

That T-shirt was the tour shirt from the Yamada Denki Tour, held long ago!!

Mama decorated it with rhinestones, did everyone spot that?

She decided to wear it to rehearsals after all this time

By the way, Kawakami-san recognized the T-shirt right away. (laugh)
