Lots of things are happening everyday ☆
So there’s lots I want to report on, but…
It makes me sad that I can’t seem to keep up (T T)

First, let’s start with yesterday’s Sky Perfect Music Festival ☆

All of us performed
“Momoiro Punch”, “Seishunfu” and “Chai Maxx ZERO” together (*^^*)

And then and then,
I did a collab with Akko-san ☆ on “Furui nikki”
I’ve never felt so nervous in my entire life…

But Akko-san was totally different from how I expected her to be like (maybe I’m exaggerating? ^^;)

She was so kind and warm and friendly
that she managed to soothe my panicked emotions during the rehearsal de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

Oh! Of course, I was still really nervous throughout the whole show ^^;

Because we work on our singing everyday

It was really great ☆ and I was really happy
that I managed to spend my time with the best people
while doing my best not to mess up during the show （*・Θ・*）

To be able to perform a duet with Akko-san
just seems like such an impossible thing,
and it felt like I had flown over the clouds and reached a faraway life’s dream

I still can’t believe it really happened
I feel like I’ve risen up to the sky de-ariyasu (* *)

Oh! But here’s a photo of us together,
which means it all really happened~ .:*:゜☆

She also gave me some words of praise
So yesterday was a day full of tears for me (*T T*)

Thank you ♡
To everyone and everything that helped to give me this chance
And to everyone who cheered me on
I’m so so grateful! (*’-’*)

Then, we also attended “Honma dekka”

Oh! ☆ I always watch it on TV—
But being there personally to watch all the performers throw puns at each other
during the filming for “Honma dekka”
was truly the most interesting thing (* *)

I was so glad
to have the chance to experience that atmosphere live (*^^*)

As for TV shows,
there’s “VS Arashi” today (I haven’t watched it yet, how was it??)

Tomorrow is “A-Stadio” on MSta!!
Then on Thursday, “Shimura Doubutsuen” with Black Mayo and Yukai na Nakamatachi
On March 1, “Daredatte haran bakusho”
Then there’s “Sky Perfect Free Day”, and a second broadcast of “Sky Perfect Music Festival”
Then~, “Tetsuko no heya” on March 3…..
Wow wow, it never stops ^^;

Oh! By the way, we performed live on “PON” today,
and also on Shimuzu Michiko-san and Ootani Nobuhiko-san’s radio show! ♪

And there’s another live performance on “Mezamashi” tomorrow ☆

There’s just so much to be thankful for that I can never hope to finish writing,
but this is really the most number of performances Momoclo will be putting up ever

And in the end,
I hope it’ll give us the chance to promote the movie to everyone,
as well as a chance to let everyone see the best of Momoclo too~ （*・Θ・*）

And then and then, the national pilgrimage continues ☆

Today, all 5 of us gathered for a meet-and-greet session
at “Maku ga Agaru”‘s sacred ground, Fujinomiya
(Thanks to everyone who came down! (*^^*))
And we’ll be going to other places soon too——— ♪

Wait for us~ (*>∀<*)
ε＝ε＝ε＝ε＝ε＝(ｏ・・)ｏ *zoom*

P.S.
The BD and DVD for Toujinsai was released yesterday
Thanks to everyone who bought it so speedily— ♪

Everyone’s comments always give me energy de-ariyasu （*・Θ・*）

Ariyasu Momoka: Saitama (*>∀<*)

Yesterday was my pilgrimage to Saitama ☆
It was really so awesome— (* Θ *)

In truth, whenever we travel as Momoclo,
no matter where we go in the country,
we’ll always meet with touching scenes, but

Yesterday was a day absolutely packed with such scenes ♪

I feel that the excitement hasn’t cooled off yet de-ariyasu (*’-’*)

Firstly~
Momoka disembarked at Kasukabe
so I’ll call it MomoKasukabe ♡

Thanks to all the people
who gathered and waited for me since morning— ♪

I was really so glad
to be able to meet with everyone de-ariyasu (*>∀<*)

Next stop was Uwara Misono ☆

This was where
the 6 of us held an event long ago,
to promote Pinky Jones, our second major debut single ♪

When I went to HMV,
I saw that the autograph I left at that time was still there ☆ So touched! (* *)

So~ I wanted to leave another mark to show that I was here,
so I left a new one (^m^)

Next time, we’ll come together as 5,
and I’ll surely get the other members to complete the collage
by adding their autographs in too (*^^*)

And then!
The staff working at this cinema
seems to be long-time Momonofu too ♡

The backstage room was dyed with my color,
from My Melody-chan to fragrances.
I was so happy de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

At the venue’s lobby,
I also had a coincidental meet up with a girl
who always came to support me when I first joined Momoclo.
I was so touched to learn that she’s still supporting me (*T T*)

Many touching things usually happen when we’re performing on stage and such,
but happenings like this make me really happy too~ (*’-’*)

Like being able to meet everyone at the venue

And to have such reunions

Isn’t it all so wonderful~?
That was my thought of the day .:*:゜☆

And then, the third location was Ooi!!!

Actually—
This place is really near to where I used to live (from when I was 3~10 years old) ☆

The city and its surroundings were all so nostalgic

Before the meet-and-greet session,
I went for a short walk to visit Fujimino Elementary, my alma mater,
and the area where I used to live

It seemed as if nothing had changed
And my tears just flowed de-ariyasu (*T T*)

I wandered around the schoolyard
Took photos at the school gate

Though it was unfortunate that my teachers were no longer teaching there, so I couldn’t meet them

Everything was so nostalgic that I just cried!!!

And then!
There’s a cake shop on the first floor of the apartments I used to live in.
Even that has not changed at all,
and the cakes looked just like how I remembered them

It made me so happy,
I ended up buying one of the strawberry tarts I used to love
and ate it with many smiles ♡

The road I used to take to school (it’s really just a super short distance lol)
The road to the train station
The park where I used to play with friends
The eateries I used to frequent

Every single thing seemed like it hadn’t changed at all…
(Oh, there were things that had changed too, of course ^^;)

And it’s all so nearby too, I can make the trip down anytime I want
So maybe next time we’ll come here for a family vacation~ (*^^*)

I didn’t get to visit her this time,
but I hope to go visit my ex dance teacher too ♪(*’-’*)

And so,
that was my meet-and-greet in nostalgic Saitama ☆

I got a little too emotional

But as we get to travel to more places,
we’ll slowly cover more and more regions ♪

And that means,
the number of places where we can happily say
“I’m back~” when we revisit them again will increase too (*’-’*)

Yep!! That’s why this national pilgrimage is so amazing! ☆

Oh! That’s right.
I’ve been taking photos of the Mononofu with my fisheye lens camera,
and if I can find the chance sometime,
I definitely want to show them off to everyone
(plus the photos with me inside)
So everyone~ Please wait for that— (*・Θ-*)

And so, tonight is finally
the show for Sky Park’s Music Festival!!!

Wow~ My heart is racing…
Dear God!!
Please let everyone have a good time tonight… ☆

Well—
There’s so much to write about—…

Where shall I begin—? (laugh)

Hmm, let’s start with the past 2 days ♪
All of us in Momoclo paid a visit to Kagawa— (*>∀<*)

To the locals and everyone who came from faraway,
and everyone all over the country who watched the LV
Thank you— (*^^*)

And everyone who couldn’t make it, but sent in their cheers ♪

As more and more people watch the movie,
we get to see and hear their reactions,
and it’s so exciting and thrilling… ☆

Let us know your opinions, criticisms included— (^m^)

And at Kagawa,
we ate delicious udon
and hosted a concert and meet-and-greet.
We all had a really wonderful time de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

I wasn’t on stage when Udonno made his appearance,
but I was really glad to finally meet him! ♡

We chatted with Director Motohiro, Hirata Oriza-san and Director Oobayashi.
I never thought such a situation would ever happen,
so it was a precious session for me ☆

Director Oobayashi
also shared lots of precious advice with us,
and we managed to learn so much de-ariyasu (* *)

Oh! For the concert, we performed the movie’s theme song “Seishunfu”
for the first time before an audience— ♪

I wish everyone who didn’t get to hear it
will get their chance soon too (*’-’).:*:゜☆

And then, the day before
was my highlight of each month, Folk Village— （*・Θ・*）

I wonder if anyone noticed
that I was trying out a new style of singing this time
that’s slightly different from my usual (*’-’*)

I’m just really inspired to slowly pick up different styles of singing
and improve myself de-ariyasu ♪

So, so,
everyone—, please watch over me— (*^^*)

Oh! Was everyone surprised when I picked “Sobakasu”
as my request song?!

I wanted to sing a song by Ayaka-san or aiko-san at first,
but I decided I wanted to try something different ☆

I hope to challenge more types of songs in the future too de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

Folk Village this time ended so soon again (+ +)

And Aarin’s graduation SP ☆ Looking forward to it! (*>∀<*)

But… There’s Sky Park’s Music Festival before that

We’ll be doing a collab
with Wada Akiko-san,
the thought just makes me tremble even now

But I’ll stand tall
Calm down

And practise lots in the upcoming days

If I can enjoying singing, rather than see it as a test…

Wow!! But that seems impossible ^^;

But with these feelings
and chance,
And all my precious friends ♡ listening in,
I hope to fully utilize
this opportunity granted to us de-ariyasu (*^^*)

Alright!!!!! Let’s go——— ☆

Ano koro wa~ ♪ Hah!! (laugh)

We visited Shinjuku’s Isetan first thing this morning
for the press conference for our collab ☆ with Pink House— ♪

Mama has been a big fan of this brand for years

And I’m sure all girls will definitely fall in love
with this chic and unique maiden feel.
Can’t get enough! (*>∀<*)

During the photoshoot,
we were really obedient
and pushed ourselves
to become a different Momoclo.
Basically, we handled ourselves like adults— (laugh)

The makeup style was very model-like too

It almost felt like we were in a dream, in a field of flowers.
It was a magical space

Oh! During the press conference today,
we had on a more natural style of makeup,
so it was another different feel ☆

These photos were taken during the photoshoot— (*・Θ-*)

How do you find maiden Momoka? (laugh)

Ariyasu Momoka: Nippon Banzai ☆

Today was Morioka and Akita ♪

All the other members are doing meet-and-greets at various locations too,
so lots of people all over the country
will have their curtains raised very soon! (*’-’*)

But there are still many people who haven’t had their curtains raised,
so I can’t give any spoilers (laugh)

We’ll continue to spread out
to help everyone enjoy the movie (*￣ー￣*)

So, I received another warm welcome today
from the Mononofu-san and locals
Ariyasu feels truly blessed de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

I’m so glad
to be together with everyone in a space where I didn’t need to use the mic ♪
Everyone felt so close,
and the mixed feelings of anxiety and calm
was a new experience for me (*’-’*)

From the autograph collection I received yesterday at Aomori,
to all the people at the different cinemas
with their amazingly detailed handmade gifts,
to the fact that they took their precious time to come.
Oh! And there were even some who came from far away, as if on a pilgrimage themselves.
Every little thing just made me feel like crying lots and lots of tears of gratitude de-ariyasu (*T T*)

Usually, it’s everyone who would come to see us,
so now I can go to everyone and see them instead.
It’s really the best happiness! (*>∀<*)

And I got to try lots of delicious food too

I just felt like
I could do this nationwide pilgrimage forever~ ♪ (laugh)

We’ll be stopping for a little while
but we’ll continue to visit more places soon,
so do wait in anticipation for us— (*・Θ-*)

Oh! Sanuki Movie Festival will take place on Friday, right? ♪

Kagawa Prefecture~ Wait for me— (*^○^*)

There’ll be LV too,
so it’ll be great if everyone all over the country can see it as well (*’-’*)

Folk Village will be airing
on TV the day after tomorrow too ♪

We’ll be appearing on lots of TV programmes next week,
so everyone~ do check out our website— ☆

Sebana— (*・Θ-*)

Misa’s note: “Sebana” means “goodbye” in Akita dialect.

Yaaay (*∩ω∩) Snow snow snow ♪

It’s piled up taller than me— (* *)

Wow… The locals here
must have such a hard time shoveling all that snow
But they must be happy to have it ^^;

Oh! The first thing when I reached was lunch ♪
I had delicious ☆ seafood rice bowl~

And then, the slightly sour
but delicious apple juice
that I’ll always drink when I come to Aomori

At night, I had a sushi platter ♪♪♪
I’m just so totally stuffed de-ariyan (^m^)

Aomori’s apples are a sure hit!!

Here’s the special Momoclo logo apple
that the farmers in Aomori had been working on since last spring ☆

Everyone was holding apples,
so we took a photo together with all the apples— ^ ^

Thanks to everyone in the rice fields— (*^Θ^*)

At first, I was so nervous about hosting a meet-and-greet session alone,
but because everyone was so warm and welcoming,
it was so much fun and I felt really encouraged (*>∀<*)

From now on, I’ll continue
to work hard with everyone to create an enjoyable atmosphere
in the cinema together de-ariyasu （*｀・Θ・´*）

Thanks to everyone who sent me their cheers from all over the nation too (*^^*)

Tomorrow is Iwate and Akita!
Everyone in Tohoku— Wait for me— (*・Θ-*)

Also, Aarin was missing
from my last blog post’s photos,
so I’ve uploaded off-shots of the two of us, taken during the movie filming— ♪

3 raging days of events have successfully ended,
and today is finally the start
of the nationwide pilgrimage of meet-and-greet sessions for “Maku ga Agaru”!!

Oh! Before that, thank you~
To everyone who took part in all the events (*^Θ^*)

On all 3 days,
the events allowed us to get so close
to all the Mononofu ♪

And it feels like such a long time since the last time we met— (*>∀<*)

Through the 3 days,
Ariyasi still feels like she hasn’t talked enough

But I did my best to deliver to even the audience furthest away
through my singing and dancing— (*^0^*)

Did it reach you?? My power ☆☆☆

By the way, Mama, who went for the Live Viewing of TAKAHASHI, told me about this!!

Everyone in the cinema was standing the entire time, waving the penlights with all their might,
dancing and cheering along.
It felt as if she was at the live venue herself, and she was really shocked ☆

I guess that’s the power of LV,
helping us to reach out to everyone all over the country— (*’-’*)

And I feel deep gratitude for that .:*:゜☆

And then and then, to the people who couldn’t make it

Osaretai’s All Night Nippon R
will be aired on 14 March from 3 a.m.~

While the Valentine’s Event
will be aired on 1 and 8 March on Momoclo Club XOXO

So please please check it out (*・Θ-*)

And so,
the meet-and-greet sessions have finally begun today ☆

Nagoya → Osaka ♪

How did everyone feel, watching the movie before its official release date??

Oh! Please be careful not to write any spoilers in your comments (*^m^*)

So~ Tomorrow
will be the sessions at Odaiba~ then Makuhari ♪

And then~ We’ll be flying all over the country
So everyone, please look forward to meeting us! (*^Θ^*)

Oh! Throughout this pilgrimage~
I hope to store these memories as precious photos
of all the Mononofu’s smiles I’ll see during the journey,
in the form of normal shots with all of us together—! (*>∀<*)

And these photos of everyone
will turn up again someday in some form,
so look forward to that too (*・Θ-*)
And so, for today,
I’ll specially upload the commemorative horrible 1st shot de-ariyasu (*￣ー￣*)

Oh! It’ll be 14 Feb tomorrow…

It’s a shame
that I’ll be too busy this year to make anything

But everyone, take this~~~ ☆

My heart ト(((*・ω・(ε･* ))) *kiss* ♪

Happy Valentine (*>∀<*).:*:゜☆

By the way, it’s been 6 years
since I became an idol (P-A included) (*’-’*)

I’m really an idol!!
Eh?!! Me?!

~It’s been 6 years since I first had that thought

But in this time,
I met with so many people

Received so much support

And I’m so so
grateful for that de-ariyasu （*・Θ・*）

Thank you! (*’-’*) Everyone! .:*:゜☆

Actually, I had some free time this morning,
so I borrowed Mama
and we went to watch a movie de-ariyasu (*>∀<*)

We watched Annie, which I’ve been wanting to see .:*:゜☆

That said, when I was still in elementary school,
I watched the musical quite a few times at the theatre in Aoyama~ (*’-’*)

I met friends there,
and went for auditions too,
so the movie was full of deep memories for me ☆

“Just how will it look, now that it’s been made into a movie~?”
With that thought, I excitedly went to watch it— (*^Θ^*)

Of course, a theatre production
has the power of reaching out directly to the audience

But a movie
allows for detailed acting, which adds intensity and magnificence to the work

Plus, the story was rewritten in the modern setting

The pacing was great, it was really interesting and fun,
and there were tearjerking moments too
I was truly satisfied (*>∀<*)

The pillow fight and mop scenes
really made an impression on me when I watched the musical,
and I remember how my friends and I used to play out these scenes all the time (*’-’).:*:゜☆

Oh! When Mama was still a student,
she actually watched the musical at Broadway itself!!
So envious——— （｀・Θ・´）

It’s surprising that I’ve not had many chances to watch musical, but…

I’m really interested in them

So no matter if it’s a big or small production
If I get the chance
I hope to watch lots of musicals (*’-’).:*:゜☆

Ah!! It’s hard to believe now,
but we may just be doing a musical ourselves soon ^^;

So! ☆ I really need to learn lots （*｀・Θ・´*）

Oh! Look at this——— ♪

It’s a heart pendant that Mama bought for me
when we went to watch the Annie musical a long time ago ☆

It’s still my treasure now
…That’s just like me, huh? (laugh)

And today
is actually twin tails day ⌒°(*・Θ・*)°⌒

Oh! Did you think I’ll have photos this year too?? (laugh)

Tsk tsk tsk!!

Now that I’ll be 20 soon—

I spent the day in a mature mood (^m^)w

Here’s a photo I took yesterday with a friend— ☆

For those who are hungry now—!!
This is a photo of the steak I had
when my family went out for a meal a few days ago ♪
Ushishi! Ψ(｀∀´Ψ)

So~
Lastly, of course we have…

Some photos I took just a while ago
There they are (laugh) Twin tails ⌒°(*・Θ・*)°⌒

Haha! ♪

I promise this will be the last year I’m doing this— ^^;
