Today all of Morning Musume is at the Ryōgoku Kokugi-kan
for the NHK Fukushi Oozumo program*
* an annual national charity event

It’s almost show time ↑

I’ve been lacking on sleep a little more than usual
So I’m replenishing my energy with this drink (・o・)ノ

One of my favorite drinks “Instant energy”

It helps me out at least once a month ♪

And it really is instant!!

Alllllright ♪
Off I go with energy ♪(≧∇≦)♪

There will be plenty of guests, so it’ll be fun~

I wonder if there’ll be any of our fans though ♪
I’m so excited ～θ(^0^ )

Today’s sumo program will air on February 21st ♪

Also today!
February 11, the Secret Citizens SHOW
airing at 9pm ♪
I will be on representing the people of Yamaguchi
Be sure to watch k! (b^ー°)

And the answer is— ♪♪

The one in the 2nd pic with the bunny on it V(^-^)V☆

Or so you would think~!

The actual correct answer is the one to the left of that one
with the strawberry on it ↑♪↑☆

For those of you who were like “For sure Sayu is gonna pick this one”
for the one with the bunny,
when you’re in the mood to eat strawberries, you can’t fight that~

Rather than going with my character, I went with my stomach (lol)

It was soooo good ～(⌒～⌒)

And now as to why we had these cakes in the dressing room this morning…

Well today, Feburary 11th, is Morning Musume’s
Chinese exchange student Junjun’s birthday ♪♪♪

I took a 2shot with her (^_^)v

Junjun turned 22 ☆
Congrats, Junjun (^O^)

For presents, I gave her slippers (as seen in the photo)
and a giant heart cushion ♪

She said they were cute

I’m so happy (≧∇≦)

Junjun, I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

I had these cakes for breakfast ☆♪

There were 10 of them ♪

Which one did I pick?!

Thank you guys ♪

Yesterday (rather just a little while ago), I apologize for the apathetic blog posts m(_ _)m

It was quite late last night, and I had a lot on my mind

But when I mean a lot, don’t worry, it wasn’t anything bad! (b^ー°)☆

Anyway, reading all of your comments really cheered me on!

Stuff like thanks for working so late
or keep yourself healthy, etc

You guys stayed up so late too (;_;)

There were so many warm comments… really, thank you so much

Blogging is so fun~ (≧∇≦)

is what I was thinking, because blogging like this…
getting power and support from everyone (;_;)

is not something I could carry on by myself,
it’s something I want to do with all of us together…

Seems like I’m gonna be super addicted to blogging (*^o^*)

No! Not “seems like”
I already am completely ♪

I said I’ve fallen in love with blogging before,
but more than that, I’ve fallen in love with the kindness you have all shown me m(_ _)m

I’m so happy to have such strong support o(^-^)o

The title may say “Michishige Sayumi’s blog”, but it really is “our blog” ☆♪

I’m done (≧∇≦)

It’s late in the evening, but still was a lot of fun ♪♪

I still haven’t shown you my outfit (>_<) but here is a close-up...

I was really really nervous
but I had a blast (^∀^)ノ

Oyasayumin ♪☆

Since I had work at night today ♪♪♪

I went to have dinner with my sis ε=ε=┏( ・_・)┛

I’ve been wanting to eat hotpot since yesterday (o^∀^o)
What’s more, in Tokyo today, the rain was sooo cold
I felt like I needed to have hot pot no matter what…
Without listening to what my sister thought,
I just headed straight into the restaraunt (^∀^)ノ

I love not having to worry about stuff like that,
when everything is “yeah sure, whatevers”,
it makes me think sisters are definitely the best (*^o^*)

Also, my sis is quite the character!!
She’s nuts (lol)

We went for a spicy hot pot ♪
We were just going along with the mood of things,
so we thought we would make it really spicy
but in the end, we made it too spicy and
had to dilute it down with water (=゜-゜)(=。_。)

After that, we went to karaoke ♪

Now… I may suck at singing, but my sister sucks even more than I do (┳◇┳)

When I go karaoking with my sis, we pretty much only sing anime songs
We sang stuff like sailor moon, pretty cure, magical doremi, ponyo, ariel
with all our might ♪♪♪

As for these anime songs, my sister pretty much only sings the chorus
I sing the A/B melodies, so my sister is in charge of making the choruses big

That’s like the best setup there (lol)

Anyway, my sister is suuuper funny ♪

I love herrrrr (≧∇≦)♪♪♪♪♪

Sorry that all my pics are without makeup m(_ _)m

But…

You don’t mind right? (lol)

Well anyways, off to work ♪☆

The post title is the title of Morning Musume’s single
“Onna ga medatte naze ikenai”‘s coupling song.

I reaaaaally realllly love this song ♪
First of all… for the melody
the intro just has a sparkling feeling to it…
It just makes your heart throb ＼(☆o☆)／

And for the lyrics… the title “I just might cry”
feels like a girl thats on the verge of something heartbreakingly painful

It’s like when you keep thinking of that important someone,
you keep fussing and fussing over it, but you can’t help it
at night, you’re waiting and waiting for that person to come
but in the end, the morning comes (>_<)

Thinking about that someone who has a significant other
constantly waiting, going through sleepless nights
imagining those things is quite painful (>_<)(>_<)

Well I did something similar with my blog actually
I was thinking too much about it
and I couldn’t sleep last night at all (^_^;)

But tonight I should be able to fall fast asleep, I’ll be fine ♪

Despite staying up late last night, I still woke up early (^o^)／
I woke up thinking “I wanna blog!!!!” (^∀^)ノ
I have completely and utterly fallen in love with blogging ♪

Now, having started this blog, I just might cry
Oh man… every time I sing that song, it’ll be full of these emotions
I’ll replace “that person” with “that blog”, and so I’ll sing with my blog in mind ♪

That’s how strong this song is “I just might cry”
Everyone, please please listen to it! (b^ー°)♪

The 2nd pic here is me without any make-up at all (＞Σ＜)

After this, the make-up artist is gonna make me cute
so in the meanwhile, I’m letting my skin rest (‘o‘)ノ

And so, it’s quite late in the day already
and I need to be heading off to work ε=ε=┏( ・_・)┛

’til I blog again ♪♪

Hey hey… will you listen to me?
Well I bet you’re probably thinking “no” now

Well if that’s the case, this is more like a “listen up!” story (￢з￢)..

I really want you to listen, so let me do that over

Hey hey, listen up!

Recently I fell down 3 days in a row (>_<)

They allll happened at places with nothing nearby

They were alllll intense
They were alllll painful
They alllll left scars

And on the 3rd day, some blood even came out…
I was wearing tights on that day, and they got torn up (ρ＿；)
It looks kinda like a rocker style now (-.-;)
The pic here are my rock style tights ☆

And above all, it happened when I was by myself, so that was pretty embarrassing…
The emotional scars left behind from the embarrassment may have been greater
than the physical scars left behind from the fall (lol)

I hope I can recover soon – both physically and mentally (>_<)

Ah! But ♪ Something nice happened too ♪

When I fell, there was a lady passing by at the same time
who helped me get back up on my feet
She was so kind ♪
Just from that I think my emotional scars have healed a bit ♪(*^o^*)

Thank you very much !!!!o(^-^)o

Good morning!!!!

Everyone, everyone
thank you so much for reading my blog

I’m so happy I’ve gotten so many comments (^O^)

I’m so happy because up til now I’ve never had a chance
to get everyone’s input on things in real time like this (≧∇≦)♪
Especially since I’m the type of person that really cares about what other people think…

I bought a laptop around last fall!!

A very cute pink one ☆

Nice dontcha think? ♪☆

I was on my laptop last night reading everyones comments o(^-^)o
It was so fun! (^_^)v

I thought about responding to a few myself
but my resolution for this year is to really “think things through before acting”…
Because I mean if I were to offend anyone, my manager would get mad
and probably make me quit this blog (>_<)

I mean, I don’t wanna get scolded (∋_∈)

This is only the beginning though, and I’ll slowly work on keeping my resolution
and keep my awesomeness to myself ＼(^ー^)／

I was able to sleep so well with feelings of gratitude ♪

Ever since I started my blog, every day has been so funnnn
…well.. it’s only been 1 day though (・_・;)

But blogging really is fun ♪

The amount of time I spent on the PC now is more than ever before ♪
I feel like I want to marry it now ～ O(≧∇≦)o
* she literally makes a joke about having an arranged marriage with her laptop o/

♪♪ Congratulations ♪♪

It’s only morning, but I’m in high spirits (lol)

Real happiness (*^o^*)

I hope all of you have a terrific day as well (*^o^*)♪♪♪♪

Earlier I upped a pic of “Onna ga medatte naze ikenai”‘s jacket picture
but I kinda suck at it and you can’t see part of the picture (>_<) When I checked it myself on my cell and PC, I couldn't see it well either (*_*) Sorry about that m(_ _)m

I guess you won’t be able to see my Sayumin cuteness after all (lol)
But I’ll be sure to fix it tomorrow ♪
So please be sure to come back tomorrow ya? ε=ε=┏( ・_・)┛♪

To make up for it…
I’ve upped a pic of the new costume for the new song ☆
It’s again me taking a pic of myself…

Actually since I’m fixing the jacket pic tomorrow,
I’m actually kinda glad cuz it lets me upload a pic of myself (lol)

You all feel the same way right? (lol)

Sorry for the downward stare at you guys..

But when I was taking the pic, the camera was tilted up towards me
But it’s not really any different than usual… o(｀▽´)o

This pic is from the H!P New Years concert (^O^)

Do my bangs…
look good?
Just got them done
They were recently cut

I’m pretty worried whether or not people will like it… (;_;)

What do you guys think?
