The nationwide pilgrimage has concluded successfully—!!

Thank you!!
I was shocked when I first heard we would be travelling around the country to 127 cinemas, but it turned out to be a valuable experience!
Since I’m supposed to be the advertising director,
I distributed flyers in between the meet-and-greet sessions.
There were people who came and asked, “is it really you?” and when I replied “yes!”,
they totally didn’t believe me, and some even ran away thinking I was a weirdo (laugh)
It was so fun!! (laugh)

I really created lots of wonderful memories (*´∀`)♪

But,
Maku ga Agaru has just begun!

There’s still the theatre show coming up in May, so it’s not over yet— ＼(^^)／

I’ll enjoy myself till the very end (´ω｀)

And then, 15 March is
Ariyasu-san’s birthday—!

Yay ♪ヽ(´▽｀)/
Congrats!!!!
20 years old!
You.don’t.look.it ♥ (laugh)
Not that I do, myself ( ・∇・) (laugh)
Hope you have a wonderful year ahead ♥

Hey, look!
Don’t I look like a boy!? (*￣∇￣)ノ

Momota Kanako: I’ve asked “Aarin”! (laugh)

Good morning!

We travelled around the city for yesterday’s meet-and-greet sessions—!

Itabashi, Nishi-arai, Kinshi-chou, Nihonbashi!

There was this question which was asked during the Kinshi-chou session.
“On Akemi-chan’s copy of the Ginga Tetsudou no yoru script, there’s a ♥ drawn above Saori’s name. Who was the one who drew that?”

I promised that I would find out!
So I found out! From Sasaki-san!

“Who drew that ♥?” I asked!

And then…

“Aa-chan drew it with her heart. It’s embarrassing to tell someone straight, but she can’t control this overflowing love.
I can’t be honest,
but I want to deliver my feelings.
What can I do?
That’s right! A ♥!
I’ll draw a ♥ on this script that Sao-san wrote for me!
That was her intention.”

That was her truly overwhelming reply. (laugh)

Overflowing love… The pressure is frightening. (laugh)

And today will be the first time
“Aarin” and I are hosting a meet-and-greet together!

It’s also the last day of the nationwide pilgrimage!
So exciting…

I hope to deliver Maku ga Agaru to lots of people… (*^^*)

☆Yesterday afternoon!
Since it was White Day, I was at the white gyoza store ＼(^^)／
It was delicious ♥♥

——

Misa’s note:
1. Kanako replaced a character in Aarin (あーりん) to become 圧ーりん, where “圧” means “overwhelming”.
2. Akemi is the character Aarin plays in Maku ga Agaru, while Saori is Kanako’s character.

Momota Kanako: Gekkan TAKAHASHI, then ~ Shimane Tottori!

We hosted kan TAKAHASHI yesterday!
in ZeppTokyo! ☆
Live house concerts are really great, huh—? 🎶
We all wore Aarin T-shirts designed by Tama-chan!!
What…pressure! (laugh)

Then, today’s
meet-and-greets!
First~
Shimane—!

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Izumo Airport (´ω｀)
During the meet-and-greet at Izumo, we chatted about holding a concert at Izumo Dome.
It’ll be nice if that can really happen someday!

And, I had soba for lunch
at a soba restaurant named Hazumiya,
and it was just so delicious!! ♥
I even licked the soba ice
in the end (^^)

And then, we headed to Tottori on a full tummy!
I bought so many souvenirs at Tottori!
Tofu chikuwa, Japanese leeks, pear jelly, pear juice!!
ILOVE Pear(。-∀-)♥

Then, we headed to Tottori Airport ( ・・)♥
It was red lights right before my eyes! It was just so beautiful, even seen from afar!
Thank you so much for seeing me off till the very last minute!!!! (*^^*)

I’ll definitely come again, so wait for me!!

“Maku ga Agaru” nationwide pilgrimage—!
We’ve gone on a great tour all around the country (´ω｀)

Since the movie premiered, I’ve been to
Tokyo, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Miyagi, Fukushima,
Shizuoka, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Wakayama, Hyogo

Yep, it was great (。-∀-)🎶

I had so much fun ＼(^^)／

I met lots of people,
ate delicious food,
so my heart and tummy are both so full ♥

“Maku ga Agaru”
I’ve been wanting to go watch the movie alone, on my own—!… But that hasn’t happened yet…

But I’m happy to hear so many people telling me that they’ve gone to see the movie! (*^^*)

Then, today is the release date for Seishunfu!!
Can I call it a forward-looking graduation song?
It’s a piece that connects with what comes with youth! ♪
It’s the first time we’re doing an anthem song!!
I really wish everyone in school would sing it together with me (*´-`)

Coupling tracks “LinkLink” and “Iku haru kuru haru” are also wonderful songs perfect for this season, so I hope everyone can get to hear them soon (´ω｀)♥

☆Aarin, congrats on your graduation!!

Momota Kanako: Maku ga Agaru! Then KISS!

Has everyone already gone to watch
movie “Maku ga Agaru”—?

There were really so many firsts we had during the movie filming.
While learning lots of things from the director, cast and staff members, I did my very best to bring out the character of Takahashi Saori!!

We laughed, cried, worried, thought hard, got frustrated,
went all serious over some things and crazy over others

Those days were just all about youth,
all about sparkling life.
So this movie is full of such youthfulness!!

It just makes my heart clench—! Please go experience it at the cinema too (´ω｀)

So, we performed during KISS-san’s Tokyo Dome concert today—!!!!
KISS-san is always so cool and kind,
but mischievous too!

We got so excited together with all the staff as we watched KISS-san’s concert before it was time for us to perform!!!

I got so excited that the thought of appearing on stage later made me so nervous… (laugh)

But the performance was so much fun,
and the time really flew by, so it did feel a little sad at the end (._.)

But we made lots of promises together with KISS-san (*´∀`)
So I’ll pray to see them again really soon… ☆

So grateful for this wonderful meeting that is really just like a miracle!!!!

I hope I’ll be able to speak English soon…! (・・)

We did a collab with PINK HOUSE-san!!

We’ve never actually had our hair permed and worn such normal girly clothes before, so it was really refreshing, and we fully enjoyed feeling so girlish ＼(^^)／

T-shirts, shirts, bags and more. Everything had clovers on them! 🍀
The white dress I was wearing had clovers all over the lace! 🎵

They have shirts in each of the member colors as well, and I think they’ll suit men too!

Oh, Kawakami-san dressed in a shirt too, and he looked so fresh and boyish.
So guys, you should check out their collection!

You can visit Shinjuku Isetan or their online shop—! ＼(^^)／

Momota Kanako: By the way!

I spotted this blackboard drawing during the filming for “Maku ga Agaru”!
Is that me? (laugh)
I thought someone had drawn it for fun, so I went back to check again after the filming,
and it was still there!
After that, the staff told me that Kuroki-san had drawn it during the filming!!
Ehh—?! Kuroki-san?!
So I assume it was a drawing Kuroki-san made of me? (laugh)
That’s just my guess,
the truth is still a mystery…
But I just took a photo with it anyway! (laugh)

(It’ll be really embarrassing if I’m mistaken. (laugh))

Talking about this makes me miss Yoshioka-sensei—!

Oh, and Mizonokuchi-sensei too…! (laugh)

Momota Kanako: Nationwide pilgrimage start!

Good evening—!
I’m feeling all happy today due to the series of Nippon Broadcasting’s Valentine’s Event, Gekkan Takahashi and Maku ga Agaru’s meet-and-greet session granting us so many chances to meet with everyone
＼(^^)／

The meet-and-greet sessions start today, and we’ll be going on a nationwide pilgrimage!
We ate fried chicken wings and hitsumabushi at Nagoya, and takoyaki at Osaka, so our tummies are full and happy (´ω｀)♥

And then, I’ve been chosen to be the publicity leader for Maku ga Agaru!
So I handed out some phamplets at Osaka today!!
I was really glad, because non-Momoclo fans also said that they’ll go to watch the movie!!
I’ll continue to work hard
as publicity leader (*￣∇￣)ノ

Good evening!
These photos were taken during the photoshoot for Nikkei Entertainment, which is currently on sale!

My hair was still long then!

I really love grey,
so I was smiling all the way ＼(^^)／

And then, Zawachin-san
did an imitation makeup from a book for me!!
I’m so glad!!! 😍
When we met up the last time, I was truly shameless and asked her to do it for me…
But I never expected her to really do so!
Not that I’m complaining… But it was a good imitation ♥ (laugh)

So I put on a mask Zawachin-san-style and took this photo! (laugh)
It’s an imitation of Zawachin-san imitating my makeup!
Hmm… So confusing! (laugh)

Momota Kanako: Super Saiyan!

We attended the press conference
for Dragonball Z revival “F” today!!

And I became a Super Saiyan!!!!
I never thought I’d ever become one…!
I just felt so strong!

Today was the 2nd time I met Nozawa Masako-san!
She’s really such a nice lady,
and told us lots of stories during the break ＼(^^)／
We’ll do our best to drive up the mood for Dragonball Z revival “F” too!!!!

And so, today is the last day of winter!
Has everyone done their bean scattering—?
I just did it at home,
but there were some beans in the freezer at the press conference too, and we had a precious scattering session there as well! (laugh)

We ate Ehomaki as well—!
Mum told me that I was not supposed to speak while eating it,
so I was determined to do just that. But as I was eating it,

Mum asked “Is it delicious?”…
Hey, don’t tempt me! (laugh)

I almost answered her. (laugh)

But I stopped just in time (。-∀-)

Goodnight!
