In the previous entry,

Aarin forgot to mention Tenryuu Genichirou-san
and Kiyono Shigeki-san.

Sorry!

Tenryuu-san, Kiyono-san,
Thank you for adding to the festive spirit at Toujinsai!!

This is Aarin, who hasn’t calmed down yet. (laugh)

and everyone who watched the live viewing

and everyone from 3B

Thank you (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Also, thank you
to all the vendors at Teshiro Park (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Day 1 was just really really hot,
and Day 2 began with a little rain

Even so, it was such a joy to see everyone so hyped up
and waiting so patiently for the concert to begin!

Everyone, thank you so much.

Did everyone manage to stay healthy?

It’s true that we’ll never know what’s going to happen during the show itself,
so it’s always a “pit-a-pat heart throb” experience! (laugh)

But, really,
it’s really a chance to overcome all adversities! (。-∀-)

It was Aarin’s first concert since she recovered from her fracture
So she was quite nervous too (^_^;)

And Aarin’s not usually the type to feel nervous before a concert
But she was just so anxious this time… (laugh)

Though she did her best to hide the anxiety so that nobody would notice it! (laugh)

But once she got on stage and saw everyone’s smiles
the anxiety just melted away—!

So many Mononofu present,
with so many different guests
and so many staff members, all coming together to create Toujinsai!!

It was just the best summer festival! (`･ω･´)

Personally, Aarin thinks it’s the best summer festival in all of Japan!

Aarin really had the best fun!
Baka Sawagi with everyone is really so enjoyable ヾ(´∇｀)ﾉ

And isn’t it just so awesome, to have all the traditional festival acts from all over the country put together here in one concert?

To have all the festival dances and rituals and performances all on the same stage,
putting up a show together.

All these different music, cheers, and dances here at Nissan Stadium,
and with the Hidano Shuuichi taiko troupe and the Downtown Momoclo band playing our songs together…!

So happy!

Aarin just wanted to join in–!!

She wanted to dance together with everyone—!!

Aarin just loves summer festivals~ (○´艸`)

She was just so hyped up
listening to the taiko drums, the festival songs, and all the folk tunes!

It feels like her blood was boiling (￣▽￣)

And,
to spend this festival with all the Mononofu. It was really the best ( *´ω`* )/

There were fireworks, Bon odori, water soaking!

Going crazy during the concert with everyone!

She just loves Toujinsai! (laugh)

It was just so much fun (-^艸^-)

She’s so happy to have created yet another summer memory with everyone… Wasshoi—————! ＼(^o^)／ (laugh)

Thank you for the 60 000 penlight sea.
It was so beautiful!

Thank you for Day 2!!

Aarin hopes to do another festival again next year!

Every time a festival ends, it just feels like summer is already over,
and there’s this sense of loneliness—.

But!
It’s definitely not over yet!!

I mean, summer has just begun!! (laugh)

This year’s Baka Sawagi is just the opening act
for a summer yet to come (°∀° )/

Momoclo’s summer is not over————!!

↑ This is the current wallpaper on Aarin’s phone. (laugh)

Today is Day 2 of Toujinsai! (`･ω･´)

To everyone who came yesterday,
or watched the live viewing

Thank you (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

To our guests
Tenryuu Genichirou-san and Kiyono-san

Thank you!

Wow—, it was just so very very very very hot…
What an amazing concert ＼(^o^)／

But since we still have Day 2, Aarin can’t talk too much about it now (。-∀-)

But it’s definitely THE festival of all summer festivals!!

What’s essential
will be energy, water (preferably from Aarin robot’s bottle), items to combat the heat, and Momoclo merchandise!

And lots of smiles!

Of course, your ticket too!

With these, you can’t go wrong *(^o^)/*

We had great weather yesterday,
and great weather today too~!

So exciting—!!

Let’s party for Day 2 again———————!

But be careful not to push yourself too hard!

And—————————, wasshoi!!!!

…Oh, please visit Teshiro Park too! ( *´ω`* )/

By the way,
Aarin is rehearsing
while wearing Toshiko-chan’s bracelet (laugh)

The rainy season is over ＼(^o^)／

Toujinsai is finally almost within reach!

Whoa—————!
Looking forward to it—————!

It’s starting to get hotter, so please take care of your health, everyone!

Once the concert starts,
make sure———— to take off all things around your heads!

Let’s create—!
Summer memories altogether (-^艸^-)

As for Aarin,

the other members have been calling her “Aa-chan” these days

And she likes it!

…That’s all— (laugh)

Summer’s Baka Sawagi is just around the corner…!!

It took place in August last year, but we’re doing it in July this time,
so it’s really early this year! (*^ω^*)

All the different preparations are progressing well— ＼(^o^)／

Aarin got her hair thinned out a little
in preparation for Nissan too!

She’s learned her lesson from last year— (laugh)

She doesn’t really understand it herself,
but after Aarin got her hair thinned
after Baka Sawagi last year, it made her feel all refreshed (laugh)

That was why
she regretted not doing it before the concert! (laugh)

So she’s done it this year!

Now it feels so good~ (￣∀￣)

It doesn’t really look very different

But it does feel lots lighter! (`･ω･´)

And it dries much faster after baths too

Nfu! ♪
This is the best———— (-^艸^-)

T-w-e-n-t-y—-

H-a-p-p-y-b-i-r-t-h-d-a-y—- ＼(^o^)／

Today is our leader,
Kanako-chan’s birthday (-^艸^-)

We were in the midst of Zessan Nissan rehearsals… (laugh)
So we all celebrated together!

She’s truly a genius at making everyone smile.

Even though it was Kanako-chan’s birthday, we all had so much fun too. (laugh)

She’s really so innocent,
and it’s awesome that everyone just loves her- (^^)

Aarin loves that about Kanako-chan-!

Although Aarin always sticks so close to Kanako-chan,

sometimes——- Kanako-chan also comes to stick to Aarin too, right?

Eh, that thought just made Aarin so happy! (laugh)

Please continue to support
this cheeky youngest girl in the future. (laugh)

There’s more~

↑ During the private showing for “Saint Seiya”!
It was the first time she walked in front of everyone!
She really loves the slanted line of white flowers on the skirt!
As well as the flower head decoration- (`･ω･´)

↑ During “Koukousei quiz”!
It’s her only non-pink dress- (*´`)
Talking about light blue dresses, she wore one during the press conference for “Shirome” too-!

↑ On the opening day of “Saint Seiya”!
Manager K told me that by then, it felt totally normal to see Aarin in a dress~ (laugh)
Such patterned dresses are just so cute! (*∩ω∩)

↑ During event coverage!
The entire skirt seemed to be made of petals, isn’t it pretty?!
It just feels slightly mature! ⌒(｡･.･｡)⌒

↑ Lastly, Athenaarin ＼(^o^)／
It felt slightly embarrassing to be the only one
but she’s glad she did it!!
Sorry for not taking a photo of the full dress!

*Fanfare* ＼(^o^)／

And so and so, here’s a full exhibition
of Aarin’s dress photos— (-^艸^-)

During the period of her fracture, Aarin went through
10 different dresses (*∩ω∩)

She got to put on so many cute dresses!

↑ During the AE event!
It was her first dress, so she wasn’t used to it at all. (laugh)
At that time, she couldn’t possibly have imagined how many dresses she would go through by the end-

↑ During the Japan TV hijack!
This one’s cute too-!
A two-shot with Momoka, who was pushing my wheelchair (。-∀-)

↑ During the public live radio broadcast at Spain zaka!
It’s been a long time since she last had her hair in half twintails (laugh)
Isn’t she cute? (。-∀-)
This was probably when she started getting used to being in dresses and a wheelchair-

↑ During the recording for “Bokura no ongaku”!
It’s a new style, a dress with a T-shirt (￣▽￣)
It was the closest she was to normal (laugh)
The part under the T-shirt was really cute too, I should have taken it off~

↑ During the recording for “Momoclo-chan”!
Aarin really likes this dress~
A black and pink little devil Aarin ＼(^o^)／
It’s just rare that Aarin ever wears a dark pink costume

Has everyone seen the CM yet-?

It’s here!
It’s here!
It’s here!
It’s here!
It’s here!

It’s here——–!!

Momoclo got to take part
in Santen Pharmaceutical-san’s CM- ＼(^o^)／

We got to defeat the monster Megadoyon!!

If Megadoyon ever appears in front of everyone,
we’ll go to save you!

…Well, Santen Pharmaceutical-san’s eye drops will!! (laugh)

Aarin recommends the pink eye drop, named Sante Beauteye,
and Sante FX NEO really makes her feel refreshed too!

↑ She brings it everywhere in her pouch daily. (laugh)

Everyone, keep one in your pouch or pocket too!
Please do! (。-∀-)

Please support Santen Pharmaceutical-san’s eye drops- (`･ω･´)

A few days ago, we got to perform during
“Tsukino Usagi Birthday Party in Special vivi night” (*∩ω∩)

Thank you!

Sailor Moon is just so cute and playful,
and so strong too!!

Aarin will always love her! (*^ω^*)

Momoclo has the honour of singing
the opening and ending theme songs for Sailor Moon ♪

Aarin is so happy!

“MOON PRIDE”
is really such a cool song!

Pardon Aarin for saying this,
but this song will definitely be a crowd pleaser during concerts! ♪

The ending theme is a girlish, wonderful song too

So everyone! Look forward to them~ (。-∀-)

The other day, Aarin went to watch a movie with Kanako-chan!

But Kanako-chan didn’t even confirm the date
up till the night before (laugh)

Aarin was just so restless
and screamed it out at home!!

“Kanako-chan, what are you doing—!” (laugh)

She wanted to be like Sailor Moon
and punish Kanako-chan in the name of the moon!! Really (laugh)

And after Aarin thought that they’d finally decided on a movie and meeting time,
Kanako-chan changed her mind (laugh)

And on the day itself, while Aarin was on her way to meet her,
Kanako-chan changed her mind yet again (laugh)

That’s our leader (°∀° )/
She’s just in a world of her own (laugh)

But we had so much fun in the end, so it was alright ♪

Let’s go out to play again, Kanako-chan ⌒(｡･.･｡)⌒

That’s right…

The goods for Toujinsai have been announced ＼(^o^)／

Has everyone seen them?

The goods this time are awesome as usual (`･ω･´)

So flashy (laugh)

It just gives the feeling of summer! Of festivals!

I can just imagine everyone all dressed up (○´艸`)

3 weeks more to Toujinsai…
