NEW nails ♪
22 January 2012. 20:10:33

It’s a little early, but I did spring nails 

Used lots of sherbet colors, which are trendy in 2012, plus some ribbons too, which I’m into lately

Mie Prefecture ♪
13 January 2012. 23:05:50

Yesterday, I took part in the opening ceremony for a Mie Prefecture restaurant-cafe in town as “Mie’s National Tourism Ambassador” 

Was shocked when a huge spiny lobster dish came up at the end 

It smelled of cypress oil, and the aroma was really great  

After enjoying Mie’s delicious power food, we did a prayer for good fortune too!!

By the way, Mie is famous for seafood, and I had the Ise seaweed 
done in a boiled dish of deep-fried tofu mixed with thinly sliced vegetables 

It was super delicious  

Everyone, please make your way downtown this weekend  
The wonderful Mie Prefecture restaurant-cafe welcomes you

Whole Family?
9 January 2012. 23:51:30

Actually, up till yesterday I was at some venue to do a live  (Details will come later )

And I saw something interesting there 

Whole Family

The first time I saw it, I was so shocked that I had to take a photo  

Apart from that, this was the first time I performed live at that venue, and it was really fresh and exciting 
I received such a warm welcome from everyone there, and I wish to meet them again, and to go there on my own for a vacation. It’s my new favorite location 
It’ll be great if I can go there again 

And then and then, here was my costume for the live 

I had a pompadour hairstyle tied with a ribbon 

Changing topic again,

Congrats to all those who have become adults today 

I myself became an adult 3 years ago, but… Has it really been 3 years? 
I was writing an essay just now when I realized it. Time really flies!!
Everyone, please make sure to use your time well and enjoy yourselves 

I’m sure a wonderful wonderful adult life is waiting for you  

  Congrats to the new adults

New Year’s
5 January 2012. 12:16:14

On New Year’s, I took a miraculous photo which looks just like a CD jacket cover  

But but but, if you look closelyyyyyyyy…

(Caption: Look here)

There’s a plastic greenhouse 

Yes, on New Year’s, I went back to my granny’s place, where I haven’t been able to visit for the past 6 years 

As far as I can see, fields and fields and plots and plots and farmhouses and fields and plots and farmhouses 

It’s the best place  that totally refreshed my heart and body 

Of course, Hana-chan came along too 

Hana is so warm, and makes me wonder, “Is she really a dog?”, and I love that about her 

Even at granny’s, she takes up position right in front of the stove and curls into a ball there, just like a cat  (laugh)

And she’s really temperamental too, always excited and loitering around granny and my cousin, begging to play 
But she was really so cute  

She seems to hate taking photos, but I’ll try my best to take better shots for everyone next time 
Please take care of Hana-chan and Kana-chan this year too

53rd Shiny! Japan Record Awards
30 December 2011. 23:58:24

Everyone, thank you for all the congratulatory messages 

Thanks to everyone’s support this year, I was able to attend the award ceremony and receive the Excellent Work Award 

I’m really happy that my work, which took many long hours and is filled with my feelings, has received this prestigious award. I still feel the happiness of being able to get this award and share it with everyone.
To be able to sing and write songs is really because everyone has given me support of all kinds. Thank you all so much!!

And then, today’s costume is a gold one, perfect for 「Esperanza」, the piece which won the award 

I changed the parting of my hair too, and it looks more mature here 

And tomorrow is the much-awaited Kouhaku Utagassen 

I hope that my voice will reach out strong to everyone all over the country, and for that, I will sing with all my might!!

Everyone, please watch over me

Kouhaku nails ♪
30 December 2011. 02:19:15

It’s red nails again this year 

The overall feel is red, but each nail is a slightly different shade, with lame and hologram effects, resulting is these flashy nails  

There’s my initial “K” on my right hand 

And the word “Love” on my left hand 

I love them 

And it’s the much-awaited Record Awards tomorrow 

For tomorrow’s performance, I won’t be wearing red or white, but a color that I seldom wear  

Everyone, please watch the show

MERRY X’MAS  

Though it’s already past midnight—–
And it’s already the next day——–

Oops 

Following yesterday, we did recording again too  And then, I came back home 

And Christmas was over 

And my room was so cold!!  

To think that I actually thought of spicing the place up, putting up Christmas trees and Santas since 1 November. Seeing those today, I felt just a little sad 

We’ll try again next year  

I’m sure there are many people reading this blog who have been working through Christmas too, and people who had a party with friends , and people who spent it with their family, or their lover , or alone by themselves 

Christmas can be spent in so many ways, but I hope that the next Christmas a year later will be a warm and great day for all

MSta Super Live ☆

Thank you to everyone who watched the show yesterday  

Performing together with the dancers yesterday felt really reassuring and fun~  

I wore a red checked costume, which looked like this 

And a rare sight, I had sideswept bangs yesterday. I dyed it a brighter color as well 

Did everyone realize it 

Oh, by the way, it’s Christmas Eve today 

I’m having the greatest recording session right now  

I wonder what everyone is doing 

Have a very merry X’mas
