Well—
There’s so much to write about—…
Where shall I begin—? (laugh)
Hmm, let’s start with the past 2 days ♪
All of us in Momoclo paid a visit to Kagawa— (*>∀<*)
To the locals and everyone who came from faraway,
and everyone all over the country who watched the LV
Thank you— (*^^*)
And everyone who couldn’t make it, but sent in their cheers ♪
As more and more people watch the movie,
we get to see and hear their reactions,
and it’s so exciting and thrilling… ☆
Let us know your opinions, criticisms included— (^m^)
And at Kagawa,
we ate delicious udon
and hosted a concert and meet-and-greet.
We all had a really wonderful time de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)
I wasn’t on stage when Udonno made his appearance,
but I was really glad to finally meet him! ♡
We chatted with Director Motohiro, Hirata Oriza-san and Director Oobayashi.
I never thought such a situation would ever happen,
so it was a precious session for me ☆
Director Oobayashi
also shared lots of precious advice with us,
and we managed to learn so much de-ariyasu (* *)
Oh! For the concert, we performed the movie’s theme song “Seishunfu”
for the first time before an audience— ♪
I wish everyone who didn’t get to hear it
will get their chance soon too (*’-’).:*:゜☆
And then, the day before
was my highlight of each month, Folk Village— (*・Θ・*)
I wonder if anyone noticed
that I was trying out a new style of singing this time
that’s slightly different from my usual (*’-’*)
I’m just really inspired to slowly pick up different styles of singing
and improve myself de-ariyasu ♪
So, so,
everyone—, please watch over me— (*^^*)
Oh! Was everyone surprised when I picked “Sobakasu”
as my request song?!
I wanted to sing a song by Ayaka-san or aiko-san at first,
but I decided I wanted to try something different ☆
I hope to challenge more types of songs in the future too de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)
Folk Village this time ended so soon again (+ +)
And Aarin’s graduation SP ☆ Looking forward to it! (*>∀<*)
But… There’s Sky Park’s Music Festival before that
We’ll be doing a collab
with Wada Akiko-san,
the thought just makes me tremble even now
But I’ll stand tall
Calm down
And practise lots in the upcoming days
If I can enjoying singing, rather than see it as a test…
Wow!! But that seems impossible ^^;
But with these feelings
and chance,
And all my precious friends ♡ listening in,
I hope to fully utilize
this opportunity granted to us de-ariyasu (*^^*)
Alright!!!!! Let’s go——— ☆
Ano koro wa~ ♪ Hah!! (laugh)

We participated in the Sanuki Movie Festival
yesterday and today \( ˆoˆ )/
Director Motohiro’s birthplace!
Movie festivals are wonderful ☆
I’ve always wanted to attend one.
We also did a concert yesterday!
It was a brand new performance
for the movie’s ending theme “Seishunfu”.
We did it such that it seemed like we jumped out of the movie.
Was everyone surprised?
And after the movie,
everyone was so hyped up~ ✨
And then! We attended
a surprise meet-and-greet today!
It was an amazing meet-and-greet session
with Director Motohiro, Hirata Oriza-san,
Fujimura Tadahisa-san, who played Ariyasu’s father,
and the maestro of youth movies,
Director Oobayashi Nobuhiko!
What was especially touching today
were Director Oobayashi’s words.
Everything he said
was so dazzling,
that my heart felt cleaned.
He continued chatting to us after the session too.
He’s really a wonderful man!
And we finally understood why Director Motohiro
is always so calm and understanding.
I’m so glad we met with Director Oobayashi.
Kagawa is the prefecture of udon.
So that’s what we went to eat
Food is truly most delicious at its place of origin!
The more I ate, the more I wished I’d never feel full (laugh)
In the end, I had 2 bowls \( ˆoˆ )/
And then,
we returned to Tokyo,
and went to see KISS’ Japan press conference!
Our last meeting was in November.
But they were so affectionate
that it didn’t feel like we’d been apart that long 😊
Looking forward
to their performance on MSta next week,
and then their Japan concert at Tokyo Dome~! ✨

Folk Village aired two days ago! Did you watch it—?
I sang this song called “Thursday” with Izumi-senpai, but in truth, I used to hate Thursday (lol)
Why? Because during my elementary school days, it was the day when we had Physical Education and Math classes. What’s more, school lasted a whole 6 hours and worse of all, there were double English periods (lol)
It’s a personal grudge. (lol)
I explained it to Kikuchi-P, who laughed at me (lol)
I love Thursday now!
My own song request was Ootsuka Ai-san’s “Momo no hanabira”.
I first heard it when I was in elementary school, and it’s a song full of memories!
How did I do—?
I messed up on “Hidamari no uta”, but I’ll try again next time!
And then, we headed to Kagawa for the Sanuki Movie Festival yesterday!
Director Motohiro’s hometown! And we ate udon too~~
Yamagoe udon!
It was super delicious! ❤ ️
Then we had a concert! After the movie!
It was so hot~~ in our school uniforms.
It was hot, right? ((((;゚Д゚))))))) Eh?
But it was so much fun too—!
We chatted! With Motohiro-san and Udonno too!
It was so much funnnn!
Then, we had meet-and-greet today—!
It was a talk show with Oriza-san, Director Motohiro, Director Oobayashi, Fujimura-san and Udonno!
Director Oobayashi really healed our hearts!
Everyone was so nice—
I’m so glad to meet lots of people like this everyday ❤ ️
And I received lots of energy by meeting with Mononofu too!
Thank you so much \(^o^)/
Aiming for the Academy Awards!
We’ll work hard *\(^o^)/*
Let’s get it together!
I want to visit Kagawa again!
Everyone, thank you!
See you tomorrow!

We did a collab with PINK HOUSE-san!!
We’ve never actually had our hair permed and worn such normal girly clothes before, so it was really refreshing, and we fully enjoyed feeling so girlish \(^^)/
T-shirts, shirts, bags and more. Everything had clovers on them! 🍀
The white dress I was wearing had clovers all over the lace! 🎵
They have shirts in each of the member colors as well, and I think they’ll suit men too!
Oh, Kawakami-san dressed in a shirt too, and he looked so fresh and boyish.
So guys, you should check out their collection!
You can visit Shinjuku Isetan or their online shop—! \(^^)/

Ahh— ahh— ahh—.
The excitement from the past 2 days has yet to die down, and I’m here to blog again
*\(^o^)/*
I even dreamed about doing meet-and-greets. (lol)
Those who could not make it for the meet-and-greets, are you feeling jealous?! I shall assume so! (lol)
So I’ll upload lots of photos for you guys—
But first, today!
We’ve somehow! Managed to do a collab with PInK HOUSE-san!
So mature with floral patterns! And the clover patterns just make the outfits so “Z”!
We had a press conference today—
Then, a dozing Takagi!
She was left alone in the backstage room during the break without the other members around, so she couldn’t help but doze and take the rare selfie!
And before I knew it, I’d totally fallen asleep (lol)
This period with all the pollen in the air is intense and tiring.
I heard that this year’s pollen is going to be bad, so take care!
So, Folk Village tomorrow!
I’ll work hard~

We visited Shinjuku’s Isetan first thing this morning
for the press conference for our collab ☆ with Pink House— ♪
Mama has been a big fan of this brand for years
And I’m sure all girls will definitely fall in love
with this chic and unique maiden feel.
Can’t get enough! (*>∀<*)
During the photoshoot,
we were really obedient
and pushed ourselves
to become a different Momoclo.
Basically, we handled ourselves like adults— (laugh)
The makeup style was very model-like too
It almost felt like we were in a dream, in a field of flowers.
It was a magical space
Oh! During the press conference today,
we had on a more natural style of makeup,
so it was another different feel ☆
These photos were taken during the photoshoot— (*・Θ-*)
How do you find maiden Momoka? (laugh)

Today was Morioka and Akita ♪
All the other members are doing meet-and-greets at various locations too,
so lots of people all over the country
will have their curtains raised very soon! (*’-’*)
But there are still many people who haven’t had their curtains raised,
so I can’t give any spoilers (laugh)
We’ll continue to spread out
to help everyone enjoy the movie (* ̄ー ̄*)
So, I received another warm welcome today
from the Mononofu-san and locals
Ariyasu feels truly blessed de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)
I’m so glad
to be together with everyone in a space where I didn’t need to use the mic ♪
Everyone felt so close,
and the mixed feelings of anxiety and calm
was a new experience for me (*’-’*)
From the autograph collection I received yesterday at Aomori,
to all the people at the different cinemas
with their amazingly detailed handmade gifts,
to the fact that they took their precious time to come.
Oh! And there were even some who came from far away, as if on a pilgrimage themselves.
Every little thing just made me feel like crying lots and lots of tears of gratitude de-ariyasu (*T T*)
Usually, it’s everyone who would come to see us,
so now I can go to everyone and see them instead.
It’s really the best happiness! (*>∀<*)
And I got to try lots of delicious food too
I just felt like
I could do this nationwide pilgrimage forever~ ♪ (laugh)
We’ll be stopping for a little while
but we’ll continue to visit more places soon,
so do wait in anticipation for us— (*・Θ-*)
Oh! Sanuki Movie Festival will take place on Friday, right? ♪
Kagawa Prefecture~ Wait for me— (*^○^*)
There’ll be LV too,
so it’ll be great if everyone all over the country can see it as well (*’-’*)
Folk Village will be airing
on TV the day after tomorrow too ♪
We’ll be appearing on lots of TV programmes next week,
so everyone~ do check out our website— ☆
Sebana— (*・Θ-*)

After delicious sushi at Kanazawa yesterday, it was Let’s Go to Takaoka this morning!!!!
Takaoka is the birthplace of Fujiko F. Fujio-sensei, so I took this photo at the Doraemon path outside the train station!
Then, I had black ramen at this place called “Jigen” nearby! It was black, but it tasted like soy sauce! It was delicious! Takagi was really happy~ all morning.
I left an autograph at the restaurant too—!
Then I went to see the Takaoka Big Buddha, and bought the first volume of “Manga michi”!
I received lots of energy from everyone at the meet-and-greet, and did a Takaoka Clover Z too!
Thanks to everyone at Takaoka!
Then, we shifted to Fuji~!
It was my first time ☆ visiting Mt Fuji!
Takagi represented Fuji in Nippon Banzai, and it felt like “I’ve finally met you!”
Everyone at Fuji was amazing too!
While I couldn’t help but feel anxious about hosting the meet-and-greet on my own, I got to meet so many people, and hear their replies as I chatted with them. I was so happy because it really felt like I was chatting with friends!
I felt so encouraged!
Mononofu are really the strongest!
Thank you so much \(^o^)/
And I saw everyone on the rooftop of Fuji Airport waving! And I saw how everyone waited to send me off until the plane flew away!
I did my best to wave back, but did anyone see me?
I’ll definitely go again! Wait for me!
See you soon!

“Maku ga Agaru”
meet-and-greet nationwide pilgrimage ☆
Today, I visited
Aeon Cinema Takasaki
TOHO Cinemas Ueda
and Nagano Grand Cinemas °.*\( ˆoˆ )/*.°
Three places in total~!
Of course,
meeting with everyone
during the meet-and-greet was amazing,
but watching the very first movie starring us
is another joy altogether ♡
With the hope that
lots more people
can watch Maku ga Agaru,
I’ll work hard~!
One thing I look forward to during this nationwide pilgrimage
is the local specialty foods ☆
Tori meshi in Gunma
Oyaki at Nagano
Ahh— It’s the best! ☻
