New Song!

 

 

Good Afternoon!
Yesterday we had filming for Morning Musume。’s 50th Single MV!
The new song is really cool
The outfits are cute too, totally satisfying (≧∇≦)

 

Soon, Soon… I want everyone to listen to it lots (≧ε≦)♪

 

At the Girl’s Award I was worried about our first showing of it but, it was super fun!

 

Being nervous for the first showing,
As a reborn Morning Musume。 10 person unit, it was our first time on stage that’s why, I’ve said that but,
There’s all kinds of reasons I’m nervous (>_<)

 

But, in any case it was fun♪ I’m glad♪♪♪

 

The first picture is, a picture from the Girl’s Award!!!

 

The second shot is, Sayumi in the new song’s outfit ( *´艸`)*

 

It’s cute, makes me UkiUki excited 〇(>∀<)〇

 

But even now‥‥‥
My iPhone’s not back to normalー get fix soon~

Today is sparkly

 

 

Sayashi’s Birth day

 

 

Happy birthdayーheart

She’s steadily growing up sparkly

 

 

 

Well, let’s try some answers up

 

 

 

■ How do you do?♪
I’m a Middle School 3rd year girl (*´∇`*)
Gakisan!!
I want to be a Mornign Musume 11th genー(>_<)
Will you please cheer me on!?

 

 

 

Oh! Do your best kay note
I’ll be cheering for you!!

 

 

 

■ Are you a going to Disney in the morning type? Evening?

 

 

In the Morning note

 

 

■ I can’t really say my own opinion, I don’t really know what I should do.
I want to say it but thinking about what I’d do if it makes things feel awkward I can’t really say it.
What do you think I should do?

 

 

Mm~That happens huh. Saying something and having it get awkward, that’s that worst huh.
But, what if you maybe change how you say it a bit?!
For example
not “I think this!”,
but, “I think this but, what do you think?”
or something sparkly

 

Then maybe you’ll get some surprisingly good conversation? sparkly

 

How is that? You think that was good advice? te hehe

 

 

■ Congratulations on your graduation♪
At the Hiroshima Live Viewing
I was cheering!!
From the screen we sent our yells but
I wonder if you properly got them?(-^艸^-)
The movie theater was all peagreen color too♪

 

 

I’m happy… T_T heart
I heard stories from the staff, I heard that everyone at the live viewing movie theaters were carrying penlights and cheering…I was really really happy

 

Did you guys get our power too I wonder? sparkly

 

 

 

■ At times when even though there are things I have to do, I can’t get up the drive to do it…
What does Risa-chan do?

 

Even then do you just do your best to face it? Or do you distance yourself for a bit?

 

 

If it’s something that you eventually have to do anyway, then do it now!

 

I think. I’m impatient that’s why

 

 

■ Gakisan what sweets
do you like?

 

I liikee anything that’s choco stuff dmheart

 

 

■ I gave birth to a girl on 4/4! Gakisan when you get married how many kids is your ideal?

 

 

Oh my dmheart
Congratulations te

 

Mm~ That’s right.
I’d like 3 sparkly

 

 

■ What do you think of short hair girls?
I’ve always had short hair so
people have told me I should try growing it but…
I’m worried it won’t look good…

 

 

I think girls who look good with short hair are wonderful~~!
Whatever it is, challenge it!

 

♪Jinsei wa Ikkai~ (tl: “Life is one time”)♪ by.Mikan

 

 

■ On Sayumin’s blog, she wrote that the person who wants to meet most right now is Gakisan! I was really happy I started tearing (T-T)

 

Risa-chan who is the person you want to meet most right now? Several is fine (^-^)

 

 

Ehー… Sayusuke T_T heart I’m so happy…

 

I also want to see the members now T_T

 

On the day Musume。’s new song was announced, I mailed Sayumin but, I didn’t get a reply, Sayusuke doesn’t not reply to people so I thought, that’s strange… then I looked at Sayumin’s blog, she wrote that her iPhone’s data flown away…I see that’s why, I was by myself *;
Before I’d be able to talk about it the next day but,
Of course now, it’s hard T_T

 

Just now I talked with Manager-san, so that I could somehow get in contact with her sparkly

 

Sayusukee~~~~~~

Cry

Sayumi’s iPhone…

 

 

All the data disappeared…

 

 

I feel like crying, rather, I cried!

 

 

Images, apps, emoji, my addressbook, and memos, all of my info has just disappearedーーーーーー( ; ; )

 

 

This kind of shock, it might be a first for me.
Shock or rather, a fullblown languish…

 

 

Pictures I wanted to post on the blog too, all are gone,
The pictures from magazines that’ll go on sale,
pictures from the jacket photos,
pictures from the summer hello good photoshoots,
the cute shots of the members I wanted to show everyone,
pictures of the members I couldn’t post on the blog that I kept for myself…

 

Really, it’s all gone!!!!!!

 

Gone!

 

Gone!

 

Goーーne!!!!!

 

 

What’ll I do. I’m so depressedー

 

 

Even saying that, it doesn’t change reality so…
from here I have to do my best, that’s what I decided from the beginning…

 

 

I’ll regain my footing but it seems it’ll take timeー( ; ; )

 

My address book data has disappeared too so,
I don’t know how to get in touch with my Yamaguchi friends too(>_<)

 

 

I want to be positive but, today it might not be possible (lol)

(Update) Back to The Grind

Just so people know, I’ve returned safely and am currently working and catching up with everything, it may take a bit to catch up and write up my thoughts and memories of the trip so please bear with me.

Thanks for your patience,
Invis

(Update as of 05/23/2012) We are now back up to speed with our blog translations, thanks to Turbos86 for all the support over the important days of blog entries. And thank you all for your patience over my days away. I’m happy to see those of you who provided feedback during my time away and upon my return. It’s always nice to know that our contributions here are appreciated.

Moving forward, I’m working on writing up my experience in some way or another, I don’t know whether to write it as a retrospective, a lesson guide, or just gushing about my time. But I will try to put together something that everyone can enjoy.

Till then,
Invis
