The moment I took off my furisode
I cut my hair short ＼(^^)／

And for the cutting ceremony, the staff came to my house and I was allowed to make the first cut!
I was so nervous… ☆

How is it? Are you shocked? (。-∀-) Fufu

This is the first time in my life I’m having such short hair!!
I really did it (´ω｀)

I was wondering if everyone would say “but I like your ponytail~”, and it seems like that is really true! (laugh)

Seriously~ ♥ (laugh)

But, oh well!
I’ll make sure you’ll fall in love with short-haired me (。-∀-) (laugh)

Joking ♥
Since it’s such a rare thing, do look forward to seeing various styles 🎵

Having cut it so short,
I’m excited to see it at different lengths as it grows back out ☆

Either way,
shampooing is now super easy,
and it feels weird—!! (laugh)

Takagi Reni: Lots of thanks! Congrats!

Yesterday was Ore no Best Ten!
Osaretai, Abare oni taiko, and Watashi no American cherry managed to get into the rankings!
Thanks to everyone who voted for them!
For Osaretai, Okuzawa Mura covered for Ariyasu’s parts!
Okuzawa Mura is! A special 3B unit that supports Takagi!
I’m sure they’ll become more and more popular soon. (laugh)
Because Ariyasu-san is still the main attraction, it’s a pity that she still can’t sing. But she managed to see everyone yesterday too (^^)
That was great!

Lots of guests also came, and we got to listen to various different solo and unit performances. It was a wonderful event!

And then, Fujii to yome no nanoka sensou finally ended successfully today!
Great job done. Let’s all work hard until we meet at the Super Arena next year!
Everyone, thank you!

And then and then, today is coming-of-age day!
To everyone around Japan who have successfully become adults!
Kanako-chan, Momoka! Congrats ❤
Work hard at becoming a charming adult like Takagi!

Joking （≧∇≦）

Congratulations!

Tamai Shiori: Congrats!

Fujii to yome no nanoka sensou

Everyone, thank you!

I managed to perform
for 4 of the 7 days ( ˆoˆ )/

Starting with a Momoclo concert,
then Yellow Summit,
then a helper for the Shy Summit,
and then yesterday’s Best Ten!

I really went crazy! 🙋☆

Especially! For yesterday’s
“Ore no the Best Ten”

I hosted the show
together with Tokyo 03’s Iizuka-san!
It was so much fun! (●´艸`)🌟

And lots of wonderful great senpais
came as guests.

I was really touched to see idol senpais
like Sakakibara Ikue-san and Matsumoto Akiko-san
performing live for us.

Shimizu Michiko-san,
Yuuzou-san and Tanimura Jinji-san
brought us lots of laughter too!

Matsuzaki Shigeru-san also came
to give us a surprise announcement,

and Analog Taro-san got all high
when introducing all the songs to us,

and Iizuka-san was really so reliable,
it was a truly enjoyable LIVE!

All the juniors were really cool
when they were performing too! ^ ^

It was a great beginning for the new year! 😌💕

Lastly!
Today’s coming-of-age day!

Congrats to all the new adults ( ˆoˆ )/

To Kanako and Momoka too!

Speaking of which! At the end of yesterday!
I was shocked MAX
at Kanako’s
very short surprise! 😳

I really don’t know
what Leader is trying to do~ (laugh)

Sasaki Ayaka: ☆Thank you. This is Aarin.☆

“Datte Aarin nanda mo-n ☆”
won 1st place
in Ore no Best Ten———!!!!!

Thanks so much to everyone
who voted for Aarin! 󾬌

Aarin really loves
“Datte Aarin nanda mo-n ☆” herself

And she’s super happy that everyone loves it too ( ˆoˆ )/

Everyone at the venue changed their penlights to pink
and went so crazy

It was really so much fun——— (^ω^)

To everyone who supported Aarin through Live Viewing
Thank you so much too! 󾌾

And then,
we performed Yamagata’s “Watashi no American cherry” for the first time!

How was it? 󾁏

She’s really happy that this song managed to win 3rd place!

Thank you so much to everyone
who voted for a song they’ve never heard till today. (laugh)

Aarin sang it with maiden chic ♪

When she sings this song,
and when Reni-chan sings too,
it’s truly “Maiden!”, and that’s Aarin’s theme (laugh)

She wants to show off a sweet Aarin!

Next, while she doesn’t know when she’ll get to perform Yamagata’s song again ←

Please continue to support “Watashi no American cherry”!

Aーnーdーtーhーeーn!!!!!

Aarin
also revealed a new song (。-∀-)♪

Its name is!!!
“Sweet Eighteen Boogie” (`･ω･´) 󾭠

It’s Aarin’s 3rd solo song ＼（^o^）／ 󾬌

It’s a cute and cool song
about 18 year old dancing maiden Aarin. (laugh)

Well, in short…
it’s a song that’s totally full of Aarin style!

She was really glad
that everyone started to add in their cheers right away (。-∀-)

Thank you.

It’s Aarin’s blessing
to be given such a wonderful song,
and to have a chance to perform it for everyone! 😍

Now Aarin
has one more song to add to her list of treasures!

She’ll sing it with precious love (*¨*)

Even if she becomes a celebrity legend someday, like the guests who came today,
she will continue to sing it with precious love.

Since it’s performed for the first time today,
there’s still a long way to go before she can get it perfect—

But she’ll work hard to deliver the charm of this song even better!

She’ll be glad if everyone can like this song~ 󾌧

Of course, she’ll work hard on “Aarin wa hankouki!” too ♪

And so,
today was a truly Aarin day!

Thank you!!

But but but but~

Aarin day is not over yet! 󾬌

“Kirumania family” will air tonight
at 00:55 on Fuji TV!

Make sure to watch it!

…Promise, ok?! 󾬧

Yesterday was Day 1 of Ore no Fujii!
It was a full Momoclo concert, our first for the year, and we started off with a bang!
It was a good start, but really sad because Ariyasu-chan wasn’t there! 💦

But having heard everyone’s “Arigatou no present”, she will surely fly back the next time? (*^o^*)

And today is Day 2!
Ebisu’s Yasumoto Ayaka-chan has said that she wants to become the second Takagi Reni!

I really love Ayaka-chan and her singing voice, but maybe she should give up on the idea of being the second Takagi Reni? (laugh)

But I’m thankful!

There’s still many days of Ore no Fujii, so please support us!

And then, today is Nanakusa Day!
Takagi had some too, in hopes of having a healthy year!
Everyone, make sure to eat some too, so we can all be healthy!

Misa’s note:
Nanakusa porridge is a salty rice gruel and vegetable dish eaten at the beginning of each year to ward off illness and disaster. Nanakusa refers to the seven plants of spring, which include Japanese parsley, shepherd’s purse, cottonweed, chickweed, Japanese nipplewort, turnip and rockcress.

We had great weather today— ☀

It just makes one go…

So warm~ \

And so!
This is sudden… But Aarin has an announcement 💓💓💓

The episode of “Kirumania family” in which she was the emcee will air
on 11 January on Fuji TV ( •∀•)/

She managed to work with Funakoshi Eiichiro-san (`･ω･´)

She was really nervous, but he was really kind to her

With great-great-great senpai Funakoshi-san’s support,
she managed to do it with a DOーーーーーN, as if riding on a huge boat!

※She’s in a dress, but her leg’s not fractured this time. (laugh)

It’s an hour-long programme, starting from 00:55!

How will Aarin be like on air?
Look forward to watching it (^ω^)

Aarin wishes that everyone will watch
“Kirumania family” together with her when it airs!

It was only a one-time thing,
but she hopes to do it again! ✴

Are there any regions where the show won’t be broadcasted?
Please check the official website for more details! (*¨*)

It’s 11 January!

It’s 11 January!!!! (laugh)

Please watch if you can! (*/ω＼*)

Misa’s note:
Aarin makes a pun on Funakoshi’s name when she said “as if riding on a huge boat”, as the kanji for Funakoshi literally means “boat crossing”.

2015!
Did everyone have fun on New Year’s Day?
Did you rest well?

I went to visit my Grandpa and Grandma, we had a family outing,
I wrestled and played Jenga with my cousin, then cards, and watched a movie!

It was a full day of enjoyment! (´ω｀)

I wonder what 2015 will be like ♥
I hope it’ll be a fun year (*^^*)

Please continue to support me this year ＼(^^)／

Misa’s note:
2015 is the year of the sheep, according to the zodiac cycle.

Every—one—!!

Happy new year!

How did you spend it—?

Aarin basically slept lots~
Watched Ekiden~
Studied a little~
Watched some dramas she’d recorded~

And practiced her guitar!!!

She also ate too many rice cakes and New Year’s dishes,
and Mama got angry at her for that. (laugh)

We ended off 2014 with Kouhaku Utagassen.

It’s really so sad that Momoka couldn’t join us,
but we still had everyone’s singing voices and messages with us

Aarin believes that everyone supported us by watching us on TV

And it gave us strength! 😌

Everyone’s feelings have reached us!

Thanks so much for lending us your power.

And she was so happy to see the venue flooded with green— (^ω^)

At the moment, Aarin lifted up Momoka’s face ← (laugh)

Momoka—, did you see that—?
Aarin felt that it was awesome. (laugh)

And then, we performed together with Sakamoto Fuyumi-san!

Fuyumi-chan, you were really so strong and cool! 💓

It was a blessed moment
to hear Fuyumi-chan singing at such close range (^ω^)

Thank you!

We ate New Year’s soba with Maa-kun!

It was the best ending to 2014!

All 5 of us will be here next time!!!!!!

Ah, and—
The red team will win next time!!!!!

It was really so much fun to be able to stay all the way to the end—

And she got lots of screentime too! (。-∀-)

Alright! (laugh)

Aarin hopes to continue to polish herself in 2015
and become even more Aarin!

Please support her! (>_<)❤

Thanks for all your support this year too!!

Ariyasu Momoka: Grateful to have joined Momoclo

Happy new year…..

Before that,

Everyone, I’m really sorry…
To have caused so much worry…

I really brought so much trouble
to the members and staff, as well as Fuyumi-san and NHK
I’m really truly very sorry

I’ve got all my vaccinations done,
but at the critical moment,
I still fell ill with influenza…

I feel so regretful and pathetic that I want to cry de-ariyasu…

But because I took medication early on,
my fever went down by the night of New Year’s Eve,
and all 3 of us in the family
sat in front of the TV
and waited anxiously for Momoclo’s performance

During the first part with Sakamoto Fuyumi-san,
seeing everyone with green nails and sashes made my heart burn

Watching everyone dance with smiles
really gave me so much energy

I laughed at Reni’s Kakashi

When the costumes came together, I remembered our rehearsals and felt a little lonely

I finished watching the performance with mixed feelings

I thought lots about
the other members’ feelings
and the Mononofu-san’s feelings…

I’m really sorry to Fuyumi-san

And then and then, Momoclo’s main performance…

But once the show began

All 3 of us started to cry

Maa-kun’s green mic
The fact that there was a spot left vacant for me
Aarin holding up my smiling face
The venue lighting up with green penlights for a moment

And most importantly,
the costume with all the messages written by the Mononofu
split and worn by the other members,
so that my costume got its chance to appear on stage

Kome-chan… And everyone who helped with that
Thank you so much

I could hear the Mononofu-san’s voices from the venue

And the recording created by everyone
during Momokuri

That day, I became a Mononofu
and sang loudly together at home

As part of “with Mononofu JAPAN”

The members brought my costume together on stage with them,
and called me and sent me messages,
telling me that the next time
“We’ll appear, all 5 of us!!”

The kindness and warmth of Momoclo
penetrated into my heart once again,
and I couldn’t help but cry

And the Mononofu-san’s voices…
I remember crying during Momokuri,
and I cried again during Kouhaku…

It was really so awesome

And to everyone supporting us at Akarenga
And everyone supporting us outside NHK
And everyone watching over us at home
Thank you to all of you

At the same time, I’m really really sorry
that our third performance lacked one member
and we couldn’t deliver a full performance…

I’ll definitely take my revenge on that someday
So everyone, please lend me your strength when that happens

After the show,
the members called me
But because I was too shy,
I couldn’t speak much even though there was so much I wanted to say…

But I was really happy

As usual, Reni made me smile
by launching into her comedy style,
and though I couldn’t really deliver
my true feelings of gratitude to them

I’m truly glad to be part of Momoclo, from the bottom of my heart

And then, the Mononofu-san
Hm?! Why have I been typing
“-san” all this while? Now that I notice it, it feels a little weird
Sorry, I mean, the Mononofu…

I’m truly glad for all the Mononofu

It’s been 3 years since I last watched Kouhaku at home,
and I truly didn’t expect to do it this time
So there were lots of mixed feelings

But I mentally brought myself through the performance as I watched the show
‘I would probably be feeling nervous backstage now’
‘Would I be on standby now, climbing those set of steps?’

But my only wish was for the other 4 members
to enjoy appearing on Kouhaku again this year, and to perform a perfect show!!

And after that was Ustream
It was, as usual, done in a totally relaxed~style, just like how Momoclo always does it
But it feels totally different,
watching it at home and really being there in person…

I kept screaming to myself the entire time,
“Ahh, I want to be there!”~ Really

Reni, thanks for doing a greeting on my behalf
You did a good job (laugh)

I’ll definitely revive totally for Ore no Fujii!!

This year is going to be a raging one
So everyone~ please come along with us

If you feel that I’m going to stop anytime,
please give me a push on the back

Ah! This entry has gotten so long…

Happy new year .:*:゜☆

Thank you to everyone
for the best 2014 ☆
Thanks for all your support ☆

Please somehow continue to support Momoka
in 2015 as well (*^Θ^*)
