Smile Link ☆
19 May 2012. 16:23

It’s hot today, almost like the start of summer,
but the 2 days at Yokohama Arena branch were really so much hotter! (^_^)

As general manager had said,
it’s usually during summer that everyone’s heat could turn the air into steam and fog up the venue,
so she was really surprised to see it happening so early on in the year!

We’re back again in the Kanto region,
and the homely atmosphere where we could hear replies of “Welcome home” to our shouts of “We’re back”
really made us feel united during those 2 days! (*^^*)

And so,
this time, following Day 1 at the Yokohama Arena branch,
we took lots of commemorative photos of everyone’s wonderful smiles
during Day 2 as well!

The Yokohama Arena branch was memorable because of the large number of cosplayers!!!

From costumes from past lives and PV get-ups to calendar photoshoot costumes and lots of other modified variants, we take our hat off to the high quality of the cosplayers!!! ＼(^o^)／

Finally, the Kobe World Memorial Hall branch will open today ☆


Looking forward to meeting with the wonderful smiles of everyone staying over!!!

rainy day – ayumi hamasaki

from (miss)understood album.

Even if we don’t try to remember
Things which we don’t want to forget
We won’t forget them
That’s how I quietly feel

That was on a cold day, in the pouring rain
As I stood waiting, only for you

If this was the end of me
Even if that’s the case
I had no fear
Almost as if I didn’t care

People laughing together happily
Continued to brush past me countless times

Alone, I stood without an umbrella
With the gentlest smile on my face

When I saw you appear
Holding out a frozen hand
I felt like crying
But it’s not because I was sad

A moment of light shone down on us
As if to celebrate our path towards the future

HAPPY ENDING – ayumi hamasaki

MY STORY / Ayumi Hamasaki MY STORY / Ayumi Hamasaki
from MY STORY album.

—–

Weaving their way through crevices between the enveloping clouds
The stars battle each other
Their sparkle, like prayers resembling screams
Tightens my heart

Morning, please somehow come soon to get me
Before I lose the ability to hide my weakness

Just because you aren’t here
The night becomes so lonely, it’s a mystery

Just how many more similar
Sins must I continue to commit

Before I stop being human
Before I stop being reflected in anyone’s eyes

Falling over, in my place of refuge
There is nothing I want
Tearing out the emotions within my heart
Pasting a smile onto my mask

Please somehow take me away from this place
Before everything turns into memories

Meeting you, I learnt a little
Of what it’s like to love someone

If someday, I can stop making amends
If the day I can be forgiven finally comes

But by then, I will no longer be qualified
To talk about the definition of happiness

Just because you aren’t here
The night becomes so lonely, it’s a mystery

Meeting you, I learnt a little
Of what it’s like to love someone

That’s right, things like happy endings
More than anyone else, I know that they are not for me

Conversations about nothing in particular
Your behavior during an unexpected moment
Though I never thought I’d remember them
Somewhere inside me, I clearly
wow oh oh oh oh no no no no
Remember YOU and ME

Nobody can stop me now△

WOW WOW SO WOW WOW
oh WOW WOW SO WOW WOW

1.2.3.4 YOU and ME?

Where are you now, what are you doing?
Immediately after wondering about you
“Even if it’s just a little
Do think about me too”
wow oh oh oh oh no no no no
I wished YOU and ME

□SO 1.2.3.4 When did this start?
1.2 STEP you Just then
I started to become greedy□

☆1.2.3.4 When did this start?

I want to possess your smile☆

WOW WOW SO WOW WOW

The gap between ideals and reality
Is just a little too intense
And ceaselessly getting wider

Should I give up now?
Or should I hang on?

SUKE3☆
14 May 2012. 04:23

Good evening, everyone!

After 2-YAN yesterday, here is another Kanagawa native, SUKE3!!

I was born in Yokohama and grew up in Kawasaki (^-^)

When we talk about Yokohama~…


It’s all about Furikake~ ♪♪♪

Am I right? (sweatdrop)


Anyway, we poured everything in and tried it (laugh) It was quite delicious!!

After today’s show, we all had Kiyouken’s bento, and it was great.

This was taken after the show,


Performers SATORU & SYU


Dancer KO


Dancer MARO

Everyone looks so accomplished.

As general manager said during the emcee session,
“Yokohama is so hot!”
So hot, Hot, HOT…

In other words, everyone really got so high ↑↑↑

As we performed, everyone who came to watch us got really excited together as well…

It was truly a wonderful time ＼(^o^)／
Thank you for staying over with us these 2 days at the Yokohama Arena branch (*^^*)

And let me say this as an ending…

Yokohama is the best—-!!!!!

Yokohama Arena Branch ☆ Thank you for the 2 days!
14 May 2012. 00:18

The Yokohama Arena branch has just sucessfully closed!!

Wow, what can I say?! That heat!!
As general manager had said during the emcee session, everyone was giving off steam? (laugh)
I’m sure some of us were boiling in all that heat. ← I was one of them. (laugh)

Anyway, it was a great success!!

And so,
some wonderful presents have come to us backstage, so we’ll just upload some sweet pictures of the eyecatching ones today ♪

First, we have this!!

So cute o(^▽^)o
A bouquet of chocolates!! ← You’re quite discerning if you noticed that I used the word “sweet” (￣▽￣) (cold)

These chocolates are from Hara Kazuhiro-san,
the one who composed songs like

【STEP you】
【startin’】
【You were…】
【Sparkle】
【glitter】 etc…

So fashionable ♪(￣▽￣)

And then!
These are souvenirs from Hong Kong from Joshua-kun, hair/make-up artist Gori-san’s assistant!!

There’re some pandas. So cute, it’s hard to eat them…
Even though Gori-san is already happily eating some beside me Σ(￣。￣ノ)ノ

(laugh)

By the way, Joshua-kun is a Hong Kong native!
We’ll try to get him to make an appearance on this blog sometime (￣▽￣)

I’d love to introduce more, but then I won’t know how to stop, so…

That’s all for today (^○^)

And then!!

Here’s Katou-sensei, who came before the lives yesterday and today to help general manager with pressure training!!!

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the beautiful curves of general manager’s abs and legs came from pressure training alone!

Katou-sensei, thank you so much for helping out!!!

Yesterday and today,
25,000 people stayed over at Yokohama Arena.
We feel gratitude from the bottom of our hearts for having the best audience ☆
Those were an unforgettable 2 days.

We sincerely thank you for spending that wonderful time with us!!
Thank you!!!!!
We’ll be waiting for you to come stay over again.

And then!!
Next week, our Kobe Memorial Hall branch will OPEN!!
All those who will be staying over, are you ready?!!

Sincerely looking forward to meeting with everyone ☆
Please wait for us!

And then, and then.
You thought I was going to finish off here! Oh well!

(laugh)

Today, we’ll be getting that person to write a blog entry!

So look forward to that!!!

A-STAFF Micchii
