[Narrative Report] A moment with ℃-ute
It wasn’t a very long moment, and probably not much of a story, but a couple of days ago, a rare opportunity present itself in the land where palm trees sway.

The events done over ３ days in America, Houston, ANIME MATSURI has finished～
It is～
It’s not！
It is～ it is！
Really, the time was like a dream.
Since joining Morning Musume。 I’ve dreamed of participating in an event like this the whole time so
That dream coming true really makes me happy！！
The atsmophere filled with lots of beloved Anime・Games・Manga
there were lots of cosplayers
I was excited the whole time.
Yesterday there was the Morning Musume。’16 live,
I think doing a live like live with the １２ of us was a first.
To that extent, so that we could deliver a high quality live, the members practiced all in one mass！
Everyone who came down to the venue was very fired up, I have the self confidence that we gave our power！！
Moreover, speakign about ANIME MATSURI, there were lots of cosplaying fans too,
For me, gathering people who love both 「Morning Musume。」 and 「Anime」 in that spaces was 『joy』 itself.
Together together！ My beloved！ Morning Musume。 and Anime loved！
With these feelings I did the live 
I felt like I got to share these feelings (*^^*)
It was just ３ days so (Ｔ＿Ｔ)
it’s very sad (Ｔ＿Ｔ)
At the signing meet we got to communicate, we got to do a lot manga talk too！
The venue’s Pokemon, Naruto, and Haikyuー‼︎ popularity！！ lol
There were lots of Legend of Zelda cosplayers too～！
All these characters were fired up but, the one that was especially impressive was Alphonse from Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyasha, Berserk’s Gutz and Griffith！ Griffith’s yummy, very much a character I like. I know Berserk you know！ Touken Ranbu too！
Live and events, generally it was all fun！
Really, I’m glad I got to go to Houston
There were people who were from countries other than America too, I heard lots of 『I’m waiting』.
For sure, I want to go to where all the overseas fans are from too！
Please wait for us (*^^*)！
For Houston stories other than the events I’ll do it another day kay～(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
At the hotel, I was together with an angel so it’s calming～
This angel, who could it be～？？
Oyapuminasai
I’m in.

Morning Musume。’16 appeared as main guests for Anime Matsuri so, I got to come with everyone to Houston♡
Being with everyone for a long time like this, it was funnn♪
It was my first long trip with Oda-chan and the 12ki！
We all talked together a lot！！ lol Being a bother lol for sure it’s okayー！lol
Nonaka-chan smelling a nostalgic scent and getting excited.♡
She was enjoying America for the first time in a while♪
I got to see all the overseas fans for the first time in a while, it was a delight♪
I’ll do my best so that all the fans cheering overseas and the Hello！ members can be connected.
[tl note: From this point on Aika writes in English, I will not italicize it for ease of reading.]
Thank you as always.
I’m so happy…♡
I came to Houston with Morning Musume。’16 who was invited to Anime Matsuri as the main guest.
I enjoyed staying with them so long and also it is my first time to travel with Sakura Oda and the 12th members. So I talked with them a lot. I was wondering if I made them annoyed;( I hope I didn’t. lol
I met the overseas fans after a long time! I was very happy! I really want to connect you with Hello! Project members. I’ll do my best!
I'll be back！ Ishida Ayumi

The live in Houston
it was reallllーy fun
The way people get into it is completely different from Japan,
The call timing and
cheers and stuff, in any rate they’re loud
Not just Morning Musume。 fans,
Those who came to 「ANIME MATSURI」, it’s just people who love anime and manga and came to see things but,
The number of them is,
Approximately 6000 
After hearing that I was surprised……！
That many people……！
It ended up being a really really fired up live so,
Morning Musume。’16
I feel we got to show our appeal a lot
For our self-introductions in English too,
In New York I couldn’t say it as I remembered but this time I said it properly！ I did！
Or maybe I certainly
feel like I’ve gotten more skilled at English
2014’s New York Performance
The Fanclub tour’s Hawaii
The worldwide handshake meets
Proportional to the times I’ve gone overseas,
I feel like I myself am growing！ lol
Getting whatever I’m being told
and for that
trying to answer in English and be conveyed
In my own unskilled way I’m doing my best
For example,
Like 「yesterday…concert…enjoy？」
I’m just line up vocabulary but
←
It conveys it
If there’s a feeling I want to convey I’ll convey it
Actually yesterday (27) and today (28), we got to do a signing event, and there I got to talk a lot 
Happy things
I got to say lots of them
From my heart,
“I’m glad I got to come to Houston！”
I feel that
「ANIME MATSURI」 has finished,
and alreayd we have to go home,
it feels lonely
I still want to be here…
But doing that, all the Japanese fans would get lonely so, I have to go home huh?
But still, I want to interact with all the overseas fans more…
Aa～Being popular is hard huh～
lol
Morning Musume。’16 with Mitsui Aika-san
in ANIME MATSURI
Really thank you so much for your support
So that we can do an overseas performance again,
Morning Musume。 will do our best！
Everyone in the world, please wait for us！
And, to all the people in Japan
I took good souvenir pictures
I have lots but,
for now I’ll put up １ kay～
Houston’s first day
We went to a rodeo, and they were doing a Barbeque Rally(？), there were lots of good smelling shops all lined up
There I encounted this
A fa, face cut-out panel！？ lol
The hole is palm sized,
The panel was placed slanted on the ground,
My first time encountering this type
When I touched it it seemed like I got scolded so←
I couldn’t put my face through it…
Investigation Over
Of course it’s overseas！
the hurdle for face panels is hard huh?！
See you ayumin
