The weather is becoming warmer, so…!

Momoka’s birthday anniversary goods (*^Θ^*)

There seems to be people who have gotten them already ♪

Thank you all so much for your patienceeeee (*_ _*)

I’m really sorry…I forgot all about it (^m^)

This year, it’s a tummy warmer ☆

It’s too late in the season for it now…

It’s already spring…

A spring roll… Hmm?!
Nope, it’s a tummy warmer (lol)

You can wrap it around your tummy, or use it as a neck warmer, or even as a hat

So use it during your daily lives and sweat lots~ (lol) (^m^)

I’ll be glad if everyone can wrap it around stuff, and use it for different things de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)

Actually, I wanted to make a keyholder with a mascot based on me

But since I’m not master artists like everyone…

I ended up with the tummy warmer (* *;)

I can almost hear everyone saying, “oh… why did it turn out like this?” ^^;

But I tried to imagine an item that can fit inside a tummy warmer’s pocket (*’-’*)

So you can put on a tummy warmer and place this inside its pocket before bed ♪

Or hang it from your bag, or place it into your clothes pocket

I’ll be happy if you can imagine using it like in “Minami-kun no koibito” de-ariyasu （*・Θ・*）

Oh! Since I didn’t announce it on the blog, there may be some people who wanted to buy it but didn’t ← I don’t think so ^^;
I’m really sorry ><

And so, today’s photo will be of the tummy warmer… ♪

Well, I wanted to say that, but

In fact, I’ve not received one yet ^^;

So, again with the nationwide pilgrimage photos today~~~ (*・Θ-*)

It’s far from over (laugh)

Kasukabe on 24 Feb ♪

Urawamisono on 24 Feb ♪

Ooi on 24 Feb ♪

Funny face ver. (laugh)

Round 1 at Fujinomiya on 26 Feb ♪

Round 2 ♪

Misa’s note:
1. The title is a play on the words haramaki or tummy warmer (腹巻) and harumaki or spring roll (春巻).

Walking outdoors these days really makes the heart thrum unconditionally (*^Θ^*)

Though it’ll all scatter soon…

That’s why it’s so magical that the cherry blossoms which bloom in our hearts are able to bring hope to us (*’-’*)

So! Here’s a photo of the cherry blossoms~ ♪

Well, I wanted to say that, but…

Sorry sorry!! When I said I’ll write short entries, I meant from this entry onward ☆

Because the previous entry was anything but short~ (lol)

No no, from this time on, I’ll go straight into the pilgrimage photos

This will really be a short entry! （｀・Θ・´）

And the photos aren’t very high-res… Sorry ><

I really apologize for that, I know how rare it is to get to take photos with everyone (*_ _*)

Ariyasu Momoka: Nationwide pilgrimage☆Photos start!!

I’ve been neglecting the blog for awhile de-ariyasu （*・Θ・*）

But yesterday, we did the live recording for Momoclo-chan

At night, we did a live performance on Sada Masashi’s wonderful TV show “NamaSada”, which we appeared on last year too (Oh! ☆ Aarin joined us this year so all 5 of us were there (*>∀<*))

And MomoKanako did a Ustream to our heart’s desires recently too (it’s archived ♪)

As well as Kawakami-san’s Logirl (it’s archived ♪)

Then there were Dontaku rehearsals, and I get the chance to meet everyone every now and then, which makes me secretly happy~ (*^^*)

And yesterday, the highly-anticipated complete footage of the nationwide pilgrimage was finally aired on Sky Park （*^Θ^*）

I was really looking forward to it, and though I got home late, I watched it all before I went to bed ♪

The different styles of each team were really interesting (*>∀<*)

We were totally in character~ (laugh)

And then, my in-charge, Sugimoto D-san ☆

Well~ Sorry for praising my own team, but he was really lovely (* *)

Thinking it over, working with it, it feels that he had spent a colossal amount of time to create the programme, and I just felt so happy ♪ and so touched (*’-’).:*:゜☆

For a moment, I felt like we were appearing on ○○ Tairitsu (laugh)

There were many tear-jerking scenes which were shown, but with that editing, he just wants me to cry again…

Oi, Sugimoto~ （｀・Θ・´）

Just joking (lol)
Thank you so much, Sugimoto-san (*^^*)
I’m really grateful de-ariyasu （*｀・Θ・´*）

Oh, this photo was given to me by Sugimoto-san… It’s a mosaic piece made from all the photos I’ve taken during the pilgrimage (* *)
Isn’t it amazing? ☆(*T T*)

And I’m glad that everyone got to see the cuteness of SugoudeP’s Moriya-san~ (^m^)

I was with a really great team, and I got to see the greatness of the other teams as well. I’m just really happy that the long-yet-short nationwide pilgrimage took place, and is now being preserved as a programme de-ariyasu (*T T*)

The memories made with the Mononofu-san who participated and the local staff will be deeply carved into my heart .:*:゜☆

To those who didn’t get to watch Sky Park, I hope you’ll get to see it somewhere ♪

Anyway, what I can do now ☆

Is to slowly upload all the photos of the nationwide pilgrimage I promised to upload from now on——— (*・Θ-*)

All the photos I took of everyone were shown during yesterday’s programme, so I’ll be uploading photos that Sugimoto D-san took of everyone and me ♪

So! Tracing back…

13 Feb’s Nagoya and Umeda ☆

I hope to continue like this, with blog entries with less essays and bursting with photos…

So everyone~ Please check back (*・Θ-*)

Ariyasu Momoka: The return of cold (((ﾉ)ﾟДﾟ(ヽ))))

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 ♪

Ariyasu Momoka: The town where precious friends are

Today, I visited the place where my precious friends are (*^^*)

The best!! The luckiest!! Onnagawa Recovery Festival ☆

The locals had thoroughly prepared a warm welcome .:*:゜☆

Dyed with the colorful Mononofu-san

Overflowing with smiles

And overflowing with delicious things (we had Takamasa-san’s bamboo fish cakes and beef tongue too— ♪)

We wanted to bring lots and lots of power to the people, but they gave us lots of power in return ☆

I came back with so much energy (*’-’*)

Everyone really went crazy during the concert too (the setlist was determined by Kawakami-san and Osaretai— ♪)

To share that precious time with everyone who was there just gave me the best energy!!

And thanks to the elementary school kids who rehearsed Seishunfuu in advance, together with everyone who came for the Recovery Festival, we had a big singalong session together ♪

I was really looking forward to it, because I heard from the Onnagawa FM girls when I came down to Tohoku for the meet-and-greet sesssions, that the children had been practising…

So it was really emotional when it came to fruition (*T T*)

It’s been captured on Ustream as well, and I hope the people who didn’t manage to make it can feel just a little bit of the atmosphere there ☆

It’s been a long time since we met with everyone at Onnagawa, but everyone was really sparkling. Even the little children wouldn’t stop smiling, and got excited together with us. It made me so happy (*>∀<*)

Seeing the reborn Onnagawa town train station

And trains start coming into the station again

4 years after the disaster…

Just thinking of walking along that railroad track step by step, together with the passing of the months and years, just made the tears well up…

To be able to come and meet my friends

While it was fun for us, it must be so for the Mononofu as well

We’ll always be friends forever, always be connected forever. That’s the greatest happiness… ☆

Oh! It’ll be great if we can arrive next time on the steam train ♪

And so, the first concert of Ariyasu’s 20s was held at Onnagawa town!! What a truly happy thing! (*^Θ^*)

I just feel as if I’ve taken a great step out together with everyone de-ariyasu (*’-’*)

To all the Mononofu-san who went crazy together with us, and all the Mononofu-san around the country who watched over us, thank you so much (*^^*)

From now on, let’s continue to share various scenes in our lives, while expanding our chain of smiles— .:*:゜☆

Whee!

Tenkasu Trio, which I mentioned yesterday ♡
Off shots from Spirits (*・Θ-*)

So, tomorrow is
the much-awaited Onnagawa Recovery Festival ☆

Starting with the organizers of the Onnagawa Recovery Festival,
everyone has been putting in all their effort to prepare for this festival ☆

Together with the locals, Mononofu and us,
it’ll surely be a joyful day (*’-’*)

I hope smiles will be overflowing… ☆

And it’ll be great if everyone can sing Seishunfu together (*^Θ^*)

Ariyasu Momoka: Hajiclo (*´ー｀*)

Wow~ I’ve read it all ♪
Everyone, thanks! ☆

I guess it’s because my blog entries are so long,
there are lots of people who wrote in really long comments too— (laugh)

So it’s true that you really resemble your “oshi”?! (*￣ー￣*)

I forgot to mention this last time,
but thank you to everyone
who sent in their autographs, messages, letters and presents (*^^*)

I’ll treasure everyone’s emotions .:*:゜☆

So, yesterday,
it was announced that we’ll be the mascots
for Makuhari’s huge AEON Mall’s
student-limited AEON Mall ☆ Spring campaign~

Do check out their website for more details— ♪v(*’-^*)^☆

And then, today,
we watched the Hajiclo movie
together with all the Mononofu around Japan,
as well as the director and staff members~ (*^^*)

When the OA was aired on Teletama a while back,
I managed to catch a little bit of it…

But it was really embarrassing
to watch it together with the other members,
as well as everyone all over the country (・_・;

But…
It was a full-on Momoclo-esque event
with our usual eating and playing
and getting high despite our age (laugh) (*￣ー￣*)

Thank you so much to everyone
who rushed down to watch the LV despite it being a weekday (*^^*)

And so, from today on
I’ll steadily upload all the photos
I’ve been hoarding— ♪

It’s good to sometimes have an entry
with lots of photos and less words, right? (￣∇￣*)ゞ

↑ Taken during New Year’s when B.L.T was sold ♪
So nostalgic (*￣ー￣*)

Oh! I’ll upload photos
from the meet-and-greets after 28 March,
so just wait a little longer— (*^^*)

Misa’s note:
1. Hajiclo, short for “Hajimete no Momoclo”, is a 2-hour long programme that documents the 7 year history of Momoclo.

Ariyasu Momoka: Double congrats.:*:゜☆

Argh—… Time flies, and I’m already twenty—

Finale of the 127-location meet-and-greet ☆

Together with this precious birthday… ^^;

Honestly, these few years
my birthday has always somehow met with amazing times

And I manage to receive congratulations from so many people each year

It’s just too much happiness to stomach
This is alright, isn’t it~ ^^;

I’m really happy, but at the same time surprised de-ariyasu (* *)

Yep. I’m really too blessed… ☆

And then, I received lots of congratulatory comments too

And Google-yasu
also watched all the artworks and videos made by everyone ♪

Thank you for doing this every year (*T T*)

After receiving the love from so many people,

I’m ready to take the first step of my 20s!!!

20s, there will probably be lots more
things which will happen from now on
(Oh! Lots of things happened when I was a teen, too ^^;)

Having met with everyone,
I’m sure I will be stronger than how I was in my teens,
so I’ll be able to lead a more fulfilling life… ☆

I’ll listen to lots of great music
Watch lots of great movies and fine arts

Meet lots of new people

Polish up my sensibility more

And also, grow a little stronger

Do lots of things a person in their 20s would do
(Oh! I’ll need to read some books too ← I should have done more of this as a teen…)

Ahh— There’s just so much to do,
it’s making me excited (*’-’).:*:゜☆

And then, I’ll be glad
if I can cry and smile with everyone over lots of things (*^^*)

That’s right!!
Most importantly, I need to become a more tolerant person ^^;

Because I’m the tiny giant!!
So I can’t be a tiny-minded person— (laugh)

…Having written about this and that,
this post has stretched on for so long again, as usual
(Too late to realize that…)

I’ll try harder from here on ^^;

So, now
I’ll talk about the meet-and-greet finale ☆

To everyone who came to see us,
and everyone who came from afar, and everyone who watched the LV
Thank you (*^^*)

But wow, I thought this was the finale,
but it seems like we’ll be doing another session on 11 April (* *)

We’ll be heading out to the wonderful cinema that will be showing “Maku ga Agaru” for the very last time,
and hosting a meet-and-greet with everyone there ♪

But despite there being another “last one”, we treated this session as the last as well ^^;

Anyway, I just felt that
after hosting meet-and-greets alone for a few days,
and now that all the members are gathered together

I still feel the most comfortable standing on the right side~ ^^;

Being alone meant I could do so many things,
but being together as a group of 3 or 5 of us just calms me down and makes me feel less anxious… ☆

As for my birthday,
the members and staff celebrated it for me this year too
I was just so happy (*^^*)

Even during the meet-and-greets,
everyone at the various venues
sang birthday songs for me
and sent me their congratulations.
I also blew out so many candles (laugh)

I was really cho happy （*・Θ・*）
No… I meant, so happy （*｀・Θ・´*）

I need to stop acting cute (lolol)

Oh! The movie will continue to be aired,
so those who have yet to watch it,
please do go to see it if you have the time (*・Θ-*)

Even those who’ve watched it once already!!

As my Mama said,
watching it the 2nd and 3rd time
allows you to catch all those tiny details which you might have missed the first time,
and that makes you feel warm inside ☆

Yes yes, and it’ll be linked to the theatre show ☆

So please do!!!!

And then~
It’s a little sad that we’ll be parting with the group
who had toured around with us during the meet-and-greets

But I’m sure we’ll get to work together again soon ☆

Besides, everyone will soon get to watch
the making-of videos we created together ♪

Oh! I also plan to update the blog slowly
with all the photos I’ve taken (*・Θ-*)

To aid those who came to the meet-and-greets recall those memories

And to let those who didn’t manage to come
feel just a little of the warmth we felt then

I hope everyone will enjoy seeing the photos (*’-’*)

And just like this…
I think I’ve gone on too long again ^^;

Lastly ♪

Here’s a photo taken when my family
went out to celebrate with a meal… ☆

Congrats ☆ on turning twenty
In celebration, for the first time in my life
I drank a really mild cocktail （*・Θ・*）

I knew it was mild,
but it was still a little scary…
So I took only 3 sips in the end ^^;

I had a great night with my family (*^^*)
