Just the other day, I went out to shop for Valentine’s Day chocolates ☆

 

Every year I do an exchange with the Morning Musume members, the managers,
the people who help out at the company, my grandpa,
my father, my brother, people I meet on that day,
and on years when I’ve made too much, I give some to the taxi drivers too ♪

 

Last year, I worked really hard on making the chocolates

 

and I mailed some back along with some famous brand-name Macarons
to my grandpa that I love so much back in Yamaguchi

 

“The macarons were delicious” – completely ignoring my chocolates…
was the honest thanks he gave me (lol)
So this year… I bought chocolates instead o(｀▽´)o

 

Hm… so what was it I wanted to say today…

 

Oh, I love sweets!!!!!

 

Whenever we have a huge stock of chocolates and chocolate-flavored sweets
I end up eating them all

 

Actually, earlier I ate some…
And actually… it was 4 people’s worth… ah…
I gotta go buy some more again…

 

But ya know ↑
Giving them out without sampling isn’t proper right? (lol)
That’s why it was necessary to eat 4 people’s worth of chocolates…
Although, that wasn’t my intention…
But they were so delicious!!! (≧∇≦)

 

Giving these out to everyone without knowing that delicious flavor
would have been frustrating (lol)
So, I’m glad I tried them ♪
Delicious food is just happiness isn’t it (*^o^*)♪

 

Valentine’s is so fun ♪♪

 

Today, all of Morning Musume had work together ☆★

 

I took a 2 shot with a certain member (^_^)v

 

I’m still checking if it’s ok for me to show the outfit,
so in the meanwhile enjoy a pic I took of myself m(_ _)m

So I was out, and what the… snow in Tokyo!? o(｀▽´)o

 

It was cold, but for some reason, when it rains it’s kinda gloomy
but snow is kinda happy (≧∇≦)☆

 

But ya know, I didn’t have an umbrella ↓
So I went to the nearest convenience store ⇒ ε=ε=┏( ・_・)┛

 

In addition to the umbrella, I was hungry
so I bought 1 rice ball and some tea

 

Then at the register…

 

The total was 741 yen
I took out a 1000 yen bill, but then I thought… I wonder if I have any coins
So I checked to see if I could hear any coins rattling

 

For some reason, I had a ton
so I was like, well I should use some of them then

 

First, I found a 1yen coin

 

Well, pretty good so far

 

Then I took out 2 100yen coins, 200yen total

 

I think this is where things started to go wrong

 

So as for the 741 yen, I gave 1201 yen

 

I figured in my head that I should get 560 yen back,
I was expecting a 500 yen coin

 

But in actuality…
I only got 460 yen back

 

…(゜∀゜;ノ)ノ

 

When did the world become like this!?

 

Is it because of the global recession that they docked me 100 yen!?

 

Or perhaps… they inputted it into the register wrong!?
Or perhaps… the store register was broken!?

 

…or perhaps I miscalculated!?

 

Even now I’m still not sure (?_?)

 

But in the end, my purse was still rattling from the change…
I ended up with more coins (￣○￣;)

 

The shop clerk with my change has this weird expression too,
for some reason he was sweating a lot (・_・;)

 

I, however ♪
was able to hide it, but I was panicking inside ”(」゜□゜)」

 

Even now though, I still believe that I didn’t make a calculation mistake
I’m stubborn like that…

 

Ahhh… I hope the recession ends soon…

 

My mood and my wallet is heavy…

 

And you know how my last name… is Michishige, right?
After the michi, is shige (lol)
*shige = heavy

Good morning ♪

 

Yesterday the usual staying up late Sayumi went to sleep early ☆

 

Although I woke up a few times, I had a really good night’s rest!!!! (^_^)v
And thanks to that ♪
I’m back to 100% ↑
Thank you

 

I guess regular eating habits, sleeping habits,
and lifestyle in general are important huh

 

So everyone, whether it be school, studies, homework,
work, things that don’t require thinking…
things that I can’t even imagine…
all those things that make you busy, despite that
please try to eat properly and sleep properly ♪

 

Having said that, for breakfast today
I had a chocolate scone and a persimmon from yesterday’s radio show
Are persimmon’s in season?
I think these can go in the fridge ♪
They are individually wrapped!!
Isn’t that something?
High quality stuff →(≧∇≦)
Right? Right? ↑↑↑↑
Sounds good, they are so delicious when they are juicy ♪

 

By the way, as for fruits

 

I like peaches
In saying “I like peaches”, it makes me sound cute doesn’t it? ♪

 

I also like pears
In saying “I like pears”, I’ve never heard of anyone who thinks otherwise
I hope you’ll all agree with me ♪

 

I also like figs
In saying “I like figs”, I hope you guys will think
“ehhh, she likes some of the lesser known fruits too” ♪

 

I also like blueberries
In saying “I like blueberries”, since they’re good for your eyes
I hope you guys will be like “wow she’s really takes care of her body” ♪

 

I also like American cherries
In saying “I like American cherries”, it makes me sound refined doesn’t it? ♪

 

In short, I like fruits ♪

 

In short, I hope I’ve given you a good idea of what fruits I like (lol)

 

Okkkk ☆
Here is a 2 shot with Morning Musume’s leader Takahashi Ai-chan ☆

 

Today
We’re both wearing Western-style clothes ♪
We’re matching ♪
We did the radio show as a matching couple ♪♪

 

I love Ai-chan and she always makes everything more fun

 

Also, Ai-chan is very trendy and always cute and cool
She has excellent fashion coordination
Being together with Ai-chan is just fantastic ♪

 

We have teddy bear designs,
with mine being colorful
and Ai-chan’s being black/white

 

Ai-chan’s is kinda boy-ish ☆

 

Upon seeing what we wore
we were like “Ahh!! We’re the same!!”
and we got super excited, I was so happy (*^o^*)

 

And now today… ah no I mean tomorrow…
Morning Musume will be on Music Fighter!
We’ll be singing Onna ga medatte naze ikenai ♪
Please check it out ☆♪

 

I’ll be recording that tomorrow
I know it’s early, but I’m gonna head off to sleep now
I want to get back to full energy so I need to get plenty of sleepy (≧∇≦)

 

Oyasayumin ♪♪

I also got to take a 2 shot with Yasuda-san (^_^)v☆♪

 

I kinda have a weird facial expression though (>_<)

 

Yasuda-san is just too nice, she simply is too nice.

 

Despite all of the rude things I’ve said on
variety shows and other various shows
She has such a huge heart that she just takes everything in

 

What’s more, she listens to me when I need to have a serious talk
and she also gives me her opinion on things

 

She makes it easy to understand
and also says everything in a gentle way
She’s such a kind senpai (^O^)

 

And also, one thing for sure about Yasuda-san

 

is that she’s so funny ♪

 

I know right? ♪ ～θ(^0^ )

 

I also just love how “Yasuda Kei” sounds
so even when she’s not around
I use her as the punchline of many jokes (lol)

 

Yasuda-san is so funny ♪

 

And so nice… that she even laughs at the mean things
I’ve been saying about her…

 

Thank you!

 

I look forward in continuing to work with you

 

as the punchline of my jokes ↑ (lol)
