Look look-!

Here it is!

Hotei-san’s book!

He’s so cool- 

… So cool- (*∩ω∩)

Now Aarin feels like watching
the Nissan DVD again- (-^艸^-)

She’d love to read through it carefully
but Mama is hogging it right now. (laugh)

Ah- tomorrow,
Aarin will start on her guitar practice- ♪

She hopes to be able to play it well (∂ω∂) 

She wants to stick lots of pics on a standing mike,
then play the guitar as she sings- ♪

…But before that,
can someone teach me how to replace the strings?! (laugh)

Please-teach-me-how— (laugh)

Seriously!
My self-instruction is crawling along at a turtle’s pace (´・д・`)

We appeared during Telephone Shocking on “Waratte iitomo!” today-! ＼(^o^)／

To everyone who watched it,
Thank you-! (*´艸`*)

This was our 3rd time on Telephone Shocking!
And it was so much fun! (*゜∀゜*)

Aarin had so much to talk to Tamori-san about~

But she didn’t win the survey segment
of Telephone Shocking- (´・ω・`)

Dammit—! (laugh)

However, she did get the strap the last time, right?

It’s her treasure! 

And then, Aarin robot made another appearance today!

It’s the Nissan DVD on sale version (*´ω`*)

Grin (。-∀-)

The robot’s body is playing the Nissan DVD video 

So happy (*^ω^*)

Everyone, thank you for the flowers!

By the way, right now!

Aarin is holding a Nissan DVD appreciation session at home!

It’s at the encore part now!

Hotei-san is so cool- (*∩ω∩)

Tomorrow
Mama will be buying Hotei-san’s book for Aarin!

The guitar one ♪

You know,
during the chorus of “Joukyuu monogatari”,

when Aarin stirs up the mood with “GO!GO!”.

Everyone,
will you say that together with Aarin the next time we perform “Joukyuu monogatari”?

We’ll say “GO!GO!GO!GO!”! (`・ω・´)

Thank you–! (laugh)

Ah-, Aarin was going to go to bed
but now she’s so hyped up…

Will she be able to fall asleep? (laugh)

Wow- Or should she watch it again? (laugh)

No no!
Aarin has to go to school tomorrow!

Time to sleep!
Goodnight—-!

Today!
Aarin watched “Eien no 0”-!

She finally watched it-! (`・ω・´)

And she was so touched!

Aarin cried a little (°▽°)

She was sucked into the screen,
gripping onto her towel the whole time!

The 2.5 hours
passed by in the blink of an eye-

Aarin
actually watched it together with Papa (^^) (laugh)

It’s been a long time since she watched a movie with Papa (laugh)

Actually…was it the first time ever? (laugh)

Aarin initially wanted to go watch it alone
but she decided to invite Papa in the end- (*´ω`*)

We’re such good buddies- ＼(^o^)／ (laugh)

These photos were taken by Shinoyama Kishin-san recently
for the cover of “B.L.T. April issue”-

in the National Stadium!

↑ Because Aarin was the 4th member to join the current Momoclo line-up,
she took the 4th course(?) on the track (￣▽￣) (laugh)

Hey hey, Aarin ate it!

The Romanesco broccoli!

It was a dish in her bento!

It’s such a pretty yellow-green, and immediately made the bento look bright (*^ω^*)

Hmm, but-
She was really shocked when she first opened it
because it looked like there was a baby dinosaur inside! (laugh)

All her friends said that it looked like a dinosaur too (laugh)

She was really quite nervous…to take the first bite (laugh)

Eating this really needs courage (laugh)

But she took a bite…

And it was so——- delicious ヾ(*・ω・*)ノ

It tastes like cauliflower…
But it’s a little sweeter…

She ate it all really quickly ♪

And she had so much of it for dinner too 

Aarin is totally addicted to Romanesco broccoli! (laugh)

Please buy more- (*∩ω∩)

Here we go—!
“Bokura no ongaku” was aired today! (。・ω・)ノ゛

You’ll have to go to USA soon-!

And Maa-kun’s dream will come true! (^^)

We’ll be supporting you!

Please don’t forget about Momoclo

Hey hey-, look.
Does everyone know this vegetable-? (*・ω・*)

It’s Romanesco broccoli-!

It’s like the normal broccoli has evolved
into a broccoli dinosaur (`・ω・´)

It’s all spiny, and that’s so cool (*∩ω∩)

Sort of like 5th Dimension. (laugh)

Aarin really loves broccoli
and cauliflower! (`・ω・´)

She can eat all the broccoli as long as there’s mayo on it

And cauliflower tastes delicious when soaked in a combination of curry powder and mayo~ (*^ω^*)

Her plate is always so full of these that it looks like a forest. (laugh)

The Romanesco broccoli must be delicious too-! (*´艸`)

She’ll have some tomorrow 

…How should she eat this thing anyway? (laugh)

Here’s a photo she took awhile ago, sorry for uploading it only now!

Yesterday-
Aarin forgot her coat in school (´・д・`)

So she was so cold
when she came to school today without a coat- (laugh)

A few days ago, she also left her bento box in school.

↑ These things do happen, right? (laugh)

But this was the first time
Aarin forgot her bento box in school (￣▽￣)

This won’t do- (°∀° )/ (laugh)

Today
is DVD viewing day- (*´ω`*)

She watched Hamasaki Ayumi-san’s concert DVD- 

And now!
She’s watching DREAMS COME TRUE-san’s concert DVD (*゜∀゜*)

By the way, last night
she also watched the recording for “Momoclo’s footsteps”, which aired recently. (laugh)

She’s been watching DVDs all day. (￣▽￣)

But she loves concert DVDs! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

The anime Kouhaku Utagassen was held today!

Thank you to everyone
who came to watch it-!

Aarin is so sorry that she couldn’t dance!

In exchange(?),
Aarin robot came to sing for everyone  (laugh)

It’s the Nippon Broadcasting version robot! (。・ω・)ノ゛

She’s aiming to become the official mascot for Nippon Broadcasting! (laugh)

She’ll be waiting for the offer. (laugh)

Aarin appeared on stage, wheeled out on a pushcart by Shiorin
She was really nervous to appear in front of everyone.

But I really felt the support
from all the members.

I couldn’t even move much during the performance
because I had to stay close to the standing mike at all times

But everyone changed their positionings so that they could include me,
and I was even put in the centre spot for the last chorus of “Pinky Jones”.

Everyone took the effort to stick close to me,
and during the line “gyakkyou koso ga chansu da ze” (even adversity is a chance)

I really felt like crying.

Changing the positionings must have been so much work, but everyone did it with a smile, and I could really feel their kindness
And that’s what I love most about them-!!

And then, the 4 of them formed “Momoiro Sphere”,
a collab with Sphere-san-!

I watched it all from the audience seat- (laugh)

They were all so cool 

I’m really sorry for being a burden to Sphere-san too!

Everyone in Sphere were so worried about me,
and I was really happy when they said “let’s do it again next time, all 9 of us!”!

Thank you!

Most importantly,
all the Mononofu were waiting for us with smiles.

It made me so happy!

I was a little worried
because I didn’t know if everyone would be mad at me-? (laugh)

Reni-chan, Kanako-chan, Shiorin, Momoka,
If they and the Mononofu were not with me

I don’t think I would have been able to stand on stage with this injury.

Thank you all so much. (`・ω・´)

Everyone, thank you for all your comments

And sorry for causing so much worry.

All the comments were so warm,
stuffed with everyone’s kindness and love.

Thank you so much!

It really made Aarin so happy.

Aarin is so lucky
to have so much support and encouragement from everyone! 

Aarin will continue to heal properly, so that she can dance with energy for everyone again!

The anime Kouhaku Utagassen is happening today! (`・ω・´)

Aarin will really need lots of help from everyone,
but she will put in her very best too!

Everyone, sorry for causing you so much worry!

Due to my own carelessness, I injured my left foot while at home
The bone has developed a crack.

I’m really so sorry!

I can still walk
and my everyday life won’t be impeded by this, but

I can’t dance…

So I’ll only be able to sing during concerts.

I hope to return to perfect condition as soon as possible,
so that I can deliver a better performance than usual

So I’ll be focusing on healing for now.

To everyone who is looking forward to our concerts,
I’m really so sorry.

I’ve also brought so much trouble
to everyone in the group

Sorry.

Lastly,

Thank you to everyone
for all your encouraging comments! (^^)

I feel much calmer now
after reading everyone’s warm comments.

I can’t dance now,
but I’ll make up for that in other ways,
so I’ll work hard!

Please watch over me! (`・ω・´)

Thank you.
