The National Stadium tournament on 16th March!
On Day 2, we had special guest Takamizawa Toshihiko-san perform “Hagane no ishi” live for us, and we also went close-up to everyone for a number of songs!
And the Downtown Momoclo band, who spent those 2 days together with us!
They’re always such a reassuring presence!
And Tachiki Fumihiko-san, who did the live narration for Z Densetsu
and danced together with us,
and Matsuzaki Shigeru-san,
who announced Nissan 2days,
and the Tokyo Chorus,
and conductor Oonuki Hiroshi-san
Kei Grant-san,
Anna Vieste-san,
and 3bjr!
Thank you!
I heard that many people were shocked when we started walking near the end (laugh)
Then, we sent out a message to everyone from the Olympic fire platform.
It was hard to speak well when faced with such an amazing view, but I spoke from my heart.
I may have said this before, but I just had so many feelings after the 2 days of the National Stadium dream. However, “thank you” and “I love you” are the only words which we can speak when one is experiencing ultimate joy (laugh) That’s a genuine thought.
I say that not as an idol or as Momoclo, but as a human being, to the other members, the staff, and Mononofu. I love everyone who is associated with me, and hope to stay with everyone forever!
Every time I see everyone’s faces during a concert, I really feel like an invincible miracle.
Lots of things have happened, not all of them happy, and lots of them failures.
But everyone was together through it all, and we managed to smile.
With everyone together, I’m excited to see how bright our future will be!
Everyone, I hope you feel the same way too!
Meeting with lots of people, receiving their support, my treasures slowly accumulate!

To become the real deal, and not just a trend of the moment.

That’s forever my motto.
I just have so much to say about Momoclo, and I don’t know if I should say it all at once, but the fact that I love Momoclo will never change in the years to come.

That includes everyone who’s associated with Momoclo

So I want to bring about the miracle of “always staying together”.
Watching the same scenery together, making lots of memories, progressing forward together!

So please continue to support us!

15th March! Sunny day!
Something we’ve dreamed of: a concert at the National Stadium.
Wow- The place was so huge!!
A venue which we’ve dreamed about for years, but never actually thought we could enter until a few months ago.

What we did at Kokuritsugawa and the venue we’d always watched only on DVDs have become our “reality”. Now, even after Day 1 is over, I still feel like I’m in a dream! (laugh)

But everyone’s wonderful smiles and voices are totally burned onto my mind!
It’s just so magical-!

And then, today’s another precious memory that we shouldn’t forget.
Ariyasu Momoka’s birthday!
Ya-san looked really really happy to get such a grand birthday celebration!
It was all kept a secret from Ya-san, from the mass singing by the chorus and band members, to the fact that Furu-chan was inside the cake. She was so shocked, so it was a successful surprise! It was a wonderful start to her 19th year!
In all, happy birthday to Ya-san ^_^

And then, as per normal every year, Nankoku Peanuts-san aka Matsuzaki Shigeru-san presented us with a great announcement! 2days at Nissan Stadium!
So excited that we’ll get to go festival crazy with everyone for 2 days!

Wow, wow, but there’s another day tomorrow!
Kokuritsu isn’t over yet!

So glad that we spent today together with everyone, achieving yet another dream!
Thank you to everyone at the venue, of course, and everyone watching at LiveViewing, and everyone from Houzan Elementary School!
And then, and then, thank you to Onnagawa Town for the fishermen’s banner!
Onnagawa Town is celebrating their renaissance festival on the 15th and 16th too!
Let’s work hard together tomorrow!

We’ll enjoy ourselves with all our might again tomorrow Z!
Everyone, keep warm when you go to bed tonight!

Notes:
1. Kokuritsugawa is written “国立川”, a combination of the words “国立” kokuritsu and “立川” Tachikawa. The term was coined in November 2011, during the launch event for single “Roudou sanka”, which took place on the rooftop of “Tachikawa from chuubu” building. During the event, the girls spoke of their wish to perform at the National Stadium, which is located in the nearby town, and so combined the names of these 2 places to give “kokuritsugawa”.
