Everyone-
There’s 3 days left in this year- (* *)

Wow, it feels like we’ve just rushed through this entire year!!…
And something impossible will be coming next year…
But I’d like to welcome the new year with calm spirits ^^;

Yes!! Take a deep breath-

In- Out-

It’ll be alright （^Θ^） Time won’t run away

Even when the new year comes,
we’ll surely have enough time (*・Θ-*)

Ah! But to everyone who has to work over the new year
Hang on!!
Fight-

Alright, as for me
Ever since that day when Momoclo received a new challenge
I feel like I’ve grown up a little bit ♪
(Oh, not as a dango ^^; lol)

I mean,
we’ve been performing with so many distinguished guests
these few days (* *) It’s just too much!!

So many eminent artistes right before our eyes
at Fuji TV’s Christmas Party,
and at the live broadcast…
It’s been a long while, but I felt that my heart was going to burst （>Θ<）

I mean,
I got to sing a duet
with Ise Shouzou-san himself, who wrote the lyrics and composed
“Nagori yuki” and “22-sai no wakare”
Full of tears of gratitude (*T T*) Can’t stop my trembling

Lots of other distinguished guests performed right before our eyes,
singing live,
and we got to sing along as well ♪
It was such a joyful time de-ariyasu
(Oh, Nishikawa-san also made us laugh until our tummies hurt ^w^)

To everyone who performed with us
Thank you so much

And to everyone who watched the show ♪
(My family has finally started watching SkyPark and NEXT ^^)

However,
yesterday’s M-Sta Super Live

was another gathering of eminent artistes (* *)
(Thank you to everyone who watched ♪ and commented! *^^*)

It’s just so unbelievable
Momoclo-chan is living a dream everyday

Someone~ Please pinch my cheek-!! ><

Anything that’s written in the schedule book will come true .:*:゜☆

I’m not Rikopii (the girl from the NHK Christmas drama ^^)
But she makes me want to believe
in the impossible…

And I’m the sort who is really realistic and grounded
But I’ve been having such thoughts recently de-ariyasu

Ah- before I go to bed tonight
I shall write something down in my schedule book for next year (*’-’).:*:゜☆

Oh well ♪

P.S.
We put on our favourite costumes
For the ending of M-Sta~

Shiori wore red
Reni wore yellow
I wore pink

Ah!! It’s the “supported” team colours!… w(￣▽￣;)w

——

Notes:
1. Rikopii is the character Momoka plays in Christmas drama Tenshi to Jump. She believes that anything that’s written in her schedule book will come true.
2. The “supported” team is the opposite of what the Momoka-Reni duet unit calls themselves: Team “More support from the office” (Jimusho ni motto osare tai)

We performed at
M-Sta Super Live 2013!

Thank you to everyone who watched it- ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

We performed
“GOUNN” and “Roudou sanka”! (*´艸`*)

It was so much fun-

And we were there
among all the really distinguished artistes…

It was just like a dream

Aarin is so lucky-

Maybe she’ll go watch the recording now (*´ω`*)

Ah, that’s right! (￣▽￣)

Everyone needs to check out the part
where Aarin pulls the tape off the camera
as she sang “kokoro de abareru”! (laugh)

It’s such a shame though,
Aarin couldn’t stay until the very end of M-Sta Super Live (´・ω・`)

She’ll need to work hard so that we can get invited again next year!

Hello hello (((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

Fuji TV’s next was Momoiro Christmas Round 2!
Thanks to everyone who watched it-!

There were so many distinguished guests, and the Momoclo band was there too. Announcer Miyake was there too, and we did a collab song together. It was so lively and fun!
But I was really nervous-

I’d love to take up the challenge again ( ^ω^ )

And then, lots of things happened yesterday too!
I was the first to dress up in a furisode for a special photoshoot of QJ Takagi Reni! (laugh)
Look forward to seeing it-

And it’s been a while, but we had a good ROFL moment yesterday too-!
And then, we screamed, it was unbelievable-! (laugh)

In short, yesterday was a peaceful day!
We’ll work hard for M-Sta!

Oh no- Where should I begin-?

Well, Christmas is over, just like that-

We had such a fun Christmas this year too (*^^*)

How did everyone spend their Christmas?

From Seibu Dome this year, we had Tenshi to Jump, then Fuji TV’s next 3-hour live broadcast, then Momokuri. And when yesterday’s live broadcast ended, I felt a sudden piercing sense of loneliness (´・_・`)

We had Fumie Suguri-san as a special guest at Seibu Dome!!

I almost cried when watching Fumie-san’s performance during rehearsals ヽ(；▽；)ノ
Fumie-san! Thank you for the wonderful performance!!!

And then, the announcement for the concert at the National Stadium,
I couldn’t even blink my eyes or close my mouth…

I just couldn’t believe it

I can’t forget seeing everyone’s smiles and tears while on stage.

Thank you so much.

With the previous dream accomplished, we have a new dream now.
Dreams will never end,

and that’s lovely, and makes me want to see how far we can go （´-`）

A world larger than what we’d imagined
lies on the other side of Kouhaku.

Ah! ヾ(・ω・｀) Hey hey!
Did everyone see the blue and white illuminations
on your way home from Seibu Dome? (*^^*)

That was my Christmas present-! (laugh)
Kawakami-san and I kept it a secret from the other members and staff,
and we wanted to reveal it at the end of the concert,
but the Kokuritsu announcement blanked my mind and I forgot (laugh)

Because we never told anyone, I don’t think anyone took photos or videos of it… (laugh)

Densetsu no illumination. (laugh)

I didn’t even get to see it myself-! (laugh)

Oh well (。-∀-)

I’ll go to sleep, imagining how everyone’s smiles must surely be dazzling in the lights of the illumination! (laugh)

Goodnight (*^^*)

Everyon who came to Seibu-
Did every~one get home safe-??

Did anyone catch a cold??

To everyone who came from afar
and everyone who supported us through Live Viewing
and everyone who watched the live streaming at home,
Everyone~ thank you so much

Being able to spend the same time ☆ at this year’s Momokuri
is the best memory for me!!

I’ll never forget it-

Ah! To everyone who couldn’t watch it because of work,
please wait for the video (*・Θ-*)

I’m sure it’ll give you a wonderful time .:*:゜☆

Alright, I’ve done a flying already
So again~ for the second time

Merry Christmas

I made it in timeeeee (laugh)

And then, thank you
for so many quick comments

Yes!!
There was a shocking announcement at Seibu Dome (* *)

In that moment, we were truly frozen
and so shocked that we didn’t know what was going on

But we!!

At that National Stadium!!

We’re going to hold a concert there (*T T*)

Once again, I’m reminded of how
people are unable to speak when they are too happy （*Θ*）

And then, it’ll be held for 2days on 15/3 and 16/3

Which coincidentally falls on my birthday
Which was another shock (* *)

I’m really so so grateful that my birthday
falls on a Saturday de-ariyasu （*｀・Θ・´*）

Our dream has come true, thanks to everyone

I’m feeling…the best and highest happiness now!

There’s still a part of me that can’t believe it,
and my heart is so full of excitement
that my hands are fumbling ^^;

But everyone’s cheers at Seibu Dome then
still ring in my ears now,
and that scene is seared onto my eyes

So this is surely not a dream
but reality ☆

A single true reality
that millions who have always supported us
through concerts, our blogs and other places,
have made true together with us ☆

The vague illusion-like dream
we made at Kokuritsugawa (←does everyone remember this?!!)
has really come true, just like that

Wow!! What is this-?
Mononofu’s power? (* *)

Uuuuuh, I’m going to cry… (*T T*)

And I promised on UStream just now that “I won’t cry!!”,
but I’ve broken that promise…

My mind was really blank
as if everything had been blown away

And so,
I’ve come late here to report
to those who could not come…

For the concert,
we revealed a new song, as per Momokuri tradition,
and also sang a song by Twinkle5
(Oh! Thank you to everyone who watched the drama! *^^*)

Yes yes, and we dashed through the venue on bicycles again

And then and then,
athlete Suguri Fumie performed a wonderful skating show
on the ice rink on stage
(The piano collab with Shiroi kaze was godly-!!)

We spent the very best time
with so much performances during this midwinter’s Momokuri
while enjoying the cold

And the support from downtown Momoclo band
who always helps us out and gets us all high
(I always enjoy a live band performance ♪)

To spend the best and happiest Christmas with everyone,
I’m just so happy!

To everyone who came
And everyone who delivered their voices, lights, smiles and power to us

And everyone who delivered through Live Viewing to us from afar

And then, everyone who sent us cheers from wherever they are

All of us, thank you so much

Did our smiles and love reach out to you-??

The live broadcast will air on Fuji TV’s NEXT today (19:00~)

M-Sta Super Live on the 27th

Kouhaku

Then National Stadium

Then then, our next step on the road…

The 3B event on 4 Jan,
Pepsi Zero live,
Mu~comi’s anime Kouhaku,
and Valentine’s event ♪

We’ll meet everyone again

The happiness won’t stop

The “thank you”s won’t stop

The you today will make the dream tomorrow come true.

Ah! But Momoclo’s dreams
will come true because of everyone

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”.
2. Fumie Suguri is a Japanese figure skater. She is a three-time World medalist, a three-time Four Continents champion, the 2003 Grand Prix Final champion, and a five-time Japanese national champion.

It’s almost unbelievable,
the shock and the joy
cannot be described in words.
An amazing thing was announced
at Seibu Dome on midwinter.

2days at the National Stadium

The moment when a dream comes true still feels like a dream,
and I still feel like pinching my cheek now to make sure.

When we performed at Kouhaku Utagassen last year,
the dream we had from when we first formed came true,
and I really believed that dreams do come true.
This time again, our old dream has come true too,
is it possible to feel so much happiness…?

Everyone at the venue sang the announcement together with Matsuzaki-san.
After the announcement, we ran closer to everyone,
and I felt that we were truly supported by so much love.
I felt gratitude from my heart.

Our dream has been granted
by all the Mononofu.

The Mononofu who couldn’t come to the venue
have always shared our joy and tears
together with us.
And we always hear wonderful stories about the Mononofu from different people.
Mononofu are really the best.

Let’s run on together from now on too!

And then, at Seibu Dome on midwinter

Wow, everyone was really out in the cold,
thank you so much!

A midwinter’s Momokuri.
I had lots of anxieties,
but with all the fans,
the downtown Momoclo band, athlete Suguri Fumie,
and all the staff,
we felt so much warmth
and had the best concert to end off 2013!

To the downtown Momoclo band, who are always so much fun,
and always kindly watching us from the back and supporting us, you are wonderful.

And we also received
lots of wonderful words
from athlete Suguri Fumie after the concert.
Athlete Suguri, your performance was really cool.

Everyone, thank you so much!
It was a wonderful 2013!

…But it’s not over yet! (laugh)

Takagi Reni: Things I want to say

Momokuri 2013
at the frozen Seibu Dome!

We’ve held concerts at Seibu Dome twice so far, but the place seemed the most filled this time!
I was so touched in that moment during the opening, when we could see the entire Seibu Dome from above.
At that moment yesterday, I felt that Seibu Dome was the most beautiful place in the world.

And then, athlete Suguri’s skating on the rink on stage was so beautiful, and Momokuri 2013 began on that emotional note.
The first block started off with the most energetic songs, and when we finished, it was so hot. Was everyone alright?
There were people who had stripped down to tanktops, and it got me a little worried… (laugh)
But I saw it.
Everyone’s power had reached us, and we managed to dash through to the end successfully!

Reni-chan’s magic trick of sawing a person in half was successful too! Was everyone shocked? (laugh)
And we sang 2 new songs too!

And then, the announcement of the concerts at National Stadium. To everyone present at the venue.
Everyone was so shocked that nobody could speak for a moment.
Scenes of all that we’ve done and all the memories started running through my head in that moment, and I couldn’t help it as I ran along the track around the Dome, looking at the Mononofu’s smiles, tears, listening to their words of encouragement, and seeing the staffs’ faces, and also Mum and Dad’s faces, which left me speechless.

Momoclo is not made up of just us members, the staff, Mononofu, but also everyone whom we’ve ever met, all come together with smiles and tears to create Momoclo.
I’m so glad to be a part of Momoclo so I could meet everyone. I’m so happy it hurts.
So happy that I’m a little afraid!!
The National Stadium dream! Even now, it seems like a joke, and I can’t express my feelings adequately with writing or words, but I wish to tell of it through my heart and with my performances, bit by bit, in my own way!

What’s visible to our eyes is not everything, we’re always connected by something we cannot see, so let’s all stand shoulder-to-shoulder and progress moment by moment into the future!

Back on topic, yesterday’s Christmas live was really wonderful, thank you!
To all the Mononofu around the country watching the live streaming, all the Mononofu smiling at us at the venue, athlete Suguri who put up such a wonderful performance, and the downtown Momoclo band who played so warmly for us in the cold!

Thank you so much for the very very best day!
