I once again said bye bye to my friend (^∀^)ノ
This time I have to leave the house first, while my friend
stays at home still… (lol)

When I was leaving,
My mom followed saw me off to the entrance way as usual
while my friend was puttering around on the bed (・_・;)

“Don’t loaf around, aren’t you normally supposed to see people off”
is what I said, then
“I’m not loafing around, I’m puttering”
is what she said

I don’t think you can see people off when you’re puttering (￣○￣;)

Well then ☆
Today we have connected rehearsal!

We’re connecting the blocks we split everything up to,
and go through everything without stopping once!!

And also,
today, I’ve been eating nothing but sweets since morning
so my mom made me a rice ball,
I’ll eat that and do my best (o^∀^o)

My friend took these pics here as well ↑♪☆!

After singing practice…
we had girl’s talk!!!

… okay, no we didn’t
we played shiritori the entire time.. (lol)

We played like 3 letters only, 4 letters only,
electronics only, celebrities only, we made up a ton of different rules (^o^)／

During the nuance only game
“ru” came up and my friend answered with
“runrun!”
which ended the game (lol)

I win!

My friend took these pics for me! ♪☆

Yesterday

we took a bath together (^o^)／

Even though back in middle school, it was embarrassing
even just seeing each other in our underwear while changing for P.E. (//△//)

But now that we’re 20, we can enjoy a long bath together (lol)

The both of us
have grown up to be strong characters (≧∇≦)

While I was in the bath,
I had a waterproof DVD player
so I was watching yesterday’s rehearsal (the block connecting) part on DVD (^_^)v

My friend was like
“Just now, someone was off key”

Ah, that was my solo part…

And then, I sang really loud in the bath for practice ↑

My friend did too ☆

Being able to have fun while practicing singing and reviewing the rehearsal
is so refreshing!

Right after I said bye bye to my friend
I instantly felt lonely without her and I really wanted to see her again
So I called her up and she came back over to spend the night at my house (≧∇≦)♪♪♪♪♪♪♪

Waiiiii o(^-^)o

My friend
is using my laptop to
check out my blog in detail (^_-)

She was looking at the “Founding of a company” comments
… well the Gekimo Corporation president was very offended!

“Why are all these people asking the vice president Michishige Sayumi
if they can join the company~ Shouldn’t they be asking the top person, the president!”
She kept saying over and over (lol)

also in response to those comments that were like
“I’ll follow the vice president”

“If you follow the vice president, you guys will never be promoted”
is what my friend said (lol)

My friend, the president
seems to be angry and quite jealous of the vice president’s popularity (lol)

But all of you who were like
“I wanna work for Gekimo Corporation”
after seeing those comments, my friend was like
“Maybe it’s about time we start taking applications seriously”
is what she said!

Everyone!
If you’re looking for a job, please ☆ come to Gekimo Corporation!

I just said bye bye to my friend

Even though it was such a short time,
I really really really had a lot of fun!

Lately with rehearsals, I’ve been pushed to my limits (lol)

But after meeting my junior high school friend

I laughed a lot

And all that stress just kinda oozed out!!!

Thank you, my friend!

Back in 1st year middle school, I started a company with that friend

The company name was
“Gekimo Corporation”

My friend was the president, and I was the vice president

We wanted to pick up some employees
but after we started the company
I joined Morning Musume, so the company never grew
It stayed as is

Even to this day, the company is only us two
It’s not doing anything at all either
but my friend remembered the Gekimo Corp
and we were glad to find that the company has not gone bankrupt

Vice President Michishige Sayumi, I’ll do my best (≧∇≦)

I’m still with my friend right now

Apparently she reads this blog regularly

So now we’re looking at it together (≧∇≦)

A little while ago, comments towards my “I’ll do my best” post
Everyone was so kind, I felt so happy

Thank you very much

Both my friend and I were very glad (lol)

I think I may be blessed too much (≧∇≦)

To have such a close friend here and to have all of you guys who are so kind ↑

Too much love!

Continuing on, I’m having a blast going back to junior high school times o(^-^)o

Today, actually,
a really close friend of mine from my 1st year junior high school days
paid a visit to Tokyo
After rehearsals, I only had a little time, but we met up!

I’m so happy ~ o(^-^)o

We laughed so much ☆

It’s been a while since I laughed this much (≧∇≦)

Earlier, things were quite serious and my chest had tightened up,
but now, I feel like my stomach has tightened up from all the laughter (lol) (^_^)v

I’ve been super cheered up ↑

We haven’t been together since that 1st year of junior high
But even up til now, we were able to get along and have a great time
I’m so happy (*^o^*)

I was shy up until elementary school, but the moment I met her, everything changed!

I turned so cheerful! I was able to talk away!

If it hadn’t been for a girl like her, I wouldn’t have made it into Morning Musume!
That’s how important of a person she is to me (^o^)／

And,
here is the smiley that my friend and I were using a lot back in middle school

(@_@)

That’s it (lol)
We named this smiley Tomochi-kun ♪

It eats pencils

Thinking back now, I don’t understand what was going through my mind back in junior high (^_^;)

For today’s fix I…

ended up crying..

Even though you guys all prayed for me
my own abilities were just lacking
things it didn’t end problem-free…

Sorry (;_;)

They even had to stop the music because of me, that’s the worst ↓

I’m sorry to the other members, the teacher, and staff members, and to everyone ~ ↓

I really do like singing. But I’m so bad at it

If I wasn’t putting enough effort in, then yeah I can understand that
but today, I just couldn’t sing well at all
and that was so terribly frustrating, irritating, and just painful to me
I’m so jealous of the other members who can sing well
Of course the other members put a lot of effort in as well
It is because they give it 100% every day that they can sing so well
But I just feel like I’m the only one who can’t sing
And it just instantly kills my confidence and my voice
Crying didn’t solve any problems for me either, it just caused further trouble for everyone else
I’m so embarrassed

But I have to get back up!

I’ve decided!

I’ll keep on going ☆☆

I don’t need to just cry all the time!

I can’t change the fact that my singing is poor,
and I can’t go back to the old days,
and I can’t do anything about what happened to day…

But from tomorrow on..
from right now!

I’ll continue to face forward and give it my all

I’m not writing this in the hopes to get consolation from all you guys!
I just want to share my new-found commitment to you all

I got some rusk
from Kamei Eri-chan ~ ♪

So good so good (≧∇≦)

I had 5 pieces left
and finished them all o(｀▽´)o

Eri’s rusk is quite unique
Eri’s rusk was very hard!
I was afraid I’d chip my teeth

But I’m ok ＼(^ー^)／

But when I checked closer,
I had already chipped my molars!

So now it’s not about worrying what to do if I chip my teeth
but rather worry about what to do about my chipped teeth

We’re done with “connecting the blocks”!

Well I made some mistakes,

but overall we ended things without any problems (≧∇≦)

The one thing I do have a problem with,
is sweating so much, as you can see on my face (￣○￣;)

If I had a snack break,
everything would be fixed!!

Scaaary ”(ノ><)ノ

But it doesn’t seem like I’ll have a fix…

Well guys,
please pray for me so that I’ll make it back here safely again (；∇；)/~~

YES ♪
