Ah- 6 more hours…

And Kouhaku Utagassen will begin.

And then, the curtains will close on 2013 too-.

That’s just so fast-!

Even so, it was a fruitful year, wasn’t it?

But until Kouhaku Utagassen ends
2013 will not end

Aarin doesn’t think she’ll be able to update the blog later after Kouhaku Utagassen, so she’s blogging now… (laugh)

Thinking back,
2013 started with the Ustream we did after our first Kouhaku Utagassen.

It’s been a year since then (*´ω`*)

That day, our dream of performing at Kouhaku Utagassen came true,
and we officially voiced our wish to perform at the National Stadium.

Everyone granted our wish
And we’ve managed to return to perform at Kouhaku Utagassen again.
It’s just so happy! (`・ω・´)

That’s why, we will throw all our feelings
into our second Kouhaku Utagassen! (laugh)

A compilation of 2013.

Fun things, happy things,
sad things, painful things…

It’s the end of a 2013 packed with so many things!

Let’s give the best performance-!

Everyone, please watch over us in front of your TV 

Everyone’s feelings will surely reach NHK Hall,
and we’ll be riding on that ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

 Sasaki Ayaka 

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!

 Sasaki Ayaka 

Happy Merry X’mas☆彡

Every-one
It’s Christmas today- (*∩ω∩)

How will you spend your Christmas day?

“Tenshi to Jump”‘s first night
aired yesterday at 24:10 on NHK ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

Thanks to everyone who watched it 

The second night will air tonight at 00:10!

It’s the last episode tonight (´・ω・`)
And for the story’s continuation… Look forward to it ♪

Aarin really enjoyed the filming process (^^)

She’s really happy that
she got to appear in a drama with everyone (*´ω`*)

That’s one more treasure to add to her collection 

She hopes to appear in a drama again (/ω＼*)

And tonight, Santa-san is going to come 
So we need to go to sleep quickly after watching the drama! (*^ω^*)

Everyone-
It’ll start at 00:10 ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

Please watch it! (`・ω・´)

Alright!

Have a wonderful Christmas…

 Sasaki Ayaka 

Momokuri is over- 

To everyone who came down to watch
and everyone who watched the live stream
and everyone who watched it on TV

And everyone who has supported us,
Thank you ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

It was so fun-!
So cold, but so hot-!
It was the best-!

Aarin was so happy-! 

Everyone, thank you so much (*´ω`*)

And then!
Well!

We’ll be holding a concert at the National Stadium on 15-16 March!!!

The fabled National Stadium!

Wow—–!
S-o-h-a-p-p-y–!!
It’s like a dream come true!!!

Everyone, thank you so much (*∩ω∩)

That’s the best and happiest Christmas present ever (^^)

Thank you so much 

 Sasaki Ayaka 

Merry Christmas! 

Alright-!
We’re heading to Momokuri-!

※Seibu Dome is colder today as compared to yesterday. (laugh)

 Sasaki Ayaka 

It’s so cold-.

White puffs come out of Aarin’s mouth when she speaks outdoors (*´ω`*)

By the way…
Seibu Dome is apparently rea——lly cold (´・ω・`)

That’s what the staff who are preparing for Momokuri at Seibu Dome told us!

We’ve been involved in rehearsals too
And practicing with this… and that… (。-∀-)

Each day flies by so fast!

2 more days to Seibu Dome 

Everyone, p-l-e-a-s-e!
Stay warm! ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

We’ll be performing at Studio Park today! ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

Please watch it-!

The photo was taken during filming for the opening movie for Seibu Dome- (*∩ω∩)

 Sasaki Ayaka 

We’re working hard for Momokuri-!

These days,
Aarin has been swapping T-shirts with big sis Reni during rehearsals-  (laugh)

Both of us have long hair,
and we’re almost the same height too

So Yumi-sensei looked really confused. (laugh)

Sorry (´・_・`)

She called out “Hey, hey, Reni-!” countless times at Aarin (laugh)

Who shall Aarin swap shirts with next-? (。-∀-)

(grin!) ♪

We’ve been doing sit-ups during lessons these days-.
It’s so——– tough! (laugh)

And the tempo she set is so fast~

Ahh,
Aarin is so bad at it that she feels like running away (´・ω・`) (laugh)

There’s always this music she plays when we’re to do sit-ups, and when the intro of the music plays,

Aarin always feels “Kyaaa—-!”, as if something frightening is coming—– (laugh)

She always feels like an empty husk after sit-ups. (laugh)

Ahh, today was an interesting day too- (laugh)

And Aarin worked really hard (`・ω・´)

Aarin is Santa-  

 Sasaki Ayaka 

Maybe it’s time for Aarin to start wearing winter coats to school-.

…Well (^^)

Actually, Aarin’s coat already made its debut today 

Aarin has gotten by so far with just a scarf wrapped around her neck
to keep her warm-.

There wasn’t a need for coats yet.

But the cold winter has come so early this year, so the coat has made an early debut too- (´・ω・)

With a coat,
carrying a bag becomes a hassle too- (´・ω・)

Aarin was rushing around this morning
so she actually didn’t want to put on the coat! 

But it was raining…
So she just pulled it out of the closet (laugh)

It just came back from the cleaner’s too, so the laundry tag was still attached (laugh)

Yep!!
Having a coat is so warm 

So, here’s a photo of the coat…

…Actually, I don’t have one (laugh)

Sorry! (´・ω・` 

Ah, Reni-chan did UST yesterday, right?

Aarin didn’t get the chance to watch it,
but she revealed some of Momokuri’s goods and Teshiro Park, right-? 

It’s coming soon! Momokuri  

We’re doing well with lessons too~

We’ll work hard! ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

 Sasaki Ayaka 

Uuh-, so cold 

When it was so warm in the afternoon too- (((((。*ω*。))))

Bath! Time!

Bath! Time!

Bath! Time! ＼(^o^)／

It’s the best! (*^ω^*)

Aarin took an hour-long bath yesterday (laugh)

She loves aromatic fragrances~ 

Bathtimes are Aarin’s happy times (*´ω`*)

Shampoo, conditioner, body soap,
body cream, oil,
everything comes in her favourite fragrances (*∩ω∩)

It’s the time to relax~ 

Today, Aarin will upload a photo of her clothes from recent days! (`・ω・´)

The other members and staff
all praised her and said she looked “like an adult-” 

It’s an all-black coordination! ♪

By the way,
she curled her own hair in the photo ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

That was Aarin, with high heels and high girl power- (laugh)

 Sasaki Ayaka 

Today was the much-anticipated…FNS! (*・ω・*)

To everyone who watched it
Thank you! (`・ω・´)

We had a really happy time 

We did collabs with THE ALFEE-san,
Gou Hiromi-san,
and Saitou Yuki-san! 

Thank you!

It was really such a dream
To be able to attend such a grand party…Almost like a palace ball (*^ω^*)

Just by being together with all those wonderful artistes
Made Aarin so very happy! (*∩ω∩)

The wonderful music and Aarin’s joy
Is that enough to tell of Aarin’s wish for everyone to watch the show?

Aarin wanted to stay all the way until the end too~.

After she left the venue, and continued watching FNS on TV,
she knew that it wasn’t a dream afterall.

She hopes to return to this place again next year~ (*´艸`)

And to achieve that!

She will continue to run on! (^^)

…Together with everyone!
