Yahoo— ♪

There’s only 1 more day left in event-filled January!!

That said, this week was really eventful too—

During Anime Kouhaku on Sunday,
my beloved song “words”
officially received approval from the one and only motsu-san,
and we did the very first collab ☆

We also got to perform
“Geragerapo” and “Youkai taisou”
It was really so much fun (*^Θ^*)

It was a long event,
but to everyone who got crazy with us all the way till the end~
Thank you so much— ♪

And then, the meet-and-greet session for “Maku ga agaru”!!

We performed the complete version of new song “Yume no ukiyo ni saite mina”!!

We also did filming for TV programmes
and lots more— ☆

To everyone who came to watch,
and everyone who bought the CD,
and interested parties who bought preview tickets for the movie

Thank you so much— To all of you— (*>∀<*)

We would be touring the country for meet-and-greet sessions,
so there’s lots of chances to meet everyone this year— ♪

There are lots of TV appearances lined up in February too,
so for those who can’t make it for the events,
please look forward to those instead— ♪

There’s lots of things coming up, so please check them out! (*・Θ-*)

And so,
I’m a little late from the start,
but my 2015 has finally begun…

Right now, I’m just overflowing with willpower to do so many things .:*:゜☆

Singing, acting, this and that,
there’s just so many things I want to try

So I’m always (*>∀<*) ← like this de-ariyasu!!

Oh! By the way, it’s been a while
and I feel like doing Momokatari~
I’ll go ask Kawakami-san about it ♪

Oh! Yes yes,
my birthday goods will be revealed soon,
so look forward to that— (*^Θ^*)
I’ll be happy if everyone likes them~ ♪

And so,
these photos are quite dated,
taken during Anime Kouhaku ☆

There are more photos and selfies
I’ll upload them next time if I can— (*・Θ-*)

Fufu! ♪
It’s been a while since my last entry,
so writing this has been somewhat fun (*>∀<*)

I guess it’s because
I can receive everyone’s power here (^Θ^)

Notes:
1. “Momokatari” is a combination of “Momoka” and “Katari (talk)”, the name given to Momoka’s chat session on UStream.

Folk Village and MSta
were completed successfully…

I really love to sing,
but the anxiety I feel every time is just crazy
I can’t even describe it in words de-ariyasu (+Θ+)

Every Folk Village episode
will have a different hurdle that causes me to feel nervous

And it’s a personal challenge each time
to see if I’ll be able to overcome it or not

But no matter what the result is

I feel that I’ve accomplished the best I could
each time when I deliver straight
to all the fans who are watching,
so they know that I put in my best effort

And then, with that as a base,
I hope to link up to a higher level next time!!

This episode especially, gave me pressure from different areas
The members, staff,
and everyone else around really paid me so much attention
and supported me…
I’m really so thankful

I want to deliver my gratitude everyday,
with regards to how everyone around me always
accommodates my beliefs and wilfulness
and watches over me

And I’m painfully reminded once again
that I must not forget this fact

To everyone who has always supported me, I’m really grateful

I’ll never forget this gratitude ☆

So, today is Anime Kouhaku!!

More feelings of anxiety and nervousness await,
but the feelings of excitement are definitely high too,
so everyone who’s coming, look forward to it— ♪

Oh! I’ll report here for those who can’t make it too! (*・Θ-*)

P.S.
Chiyu, happy birthday (*>∀<*)
And then,
Happy birthday! To Kome-chan!
My beloved stylist who made the costumes for Tenkasu Trio all on his own!

Today’s photos
were taken during the filming for Momoiro Tsurube last year—
Kanako’s braids just feel so nostalgic! (laugh)

↑ This MomoKakudo selfie is the first of this year, so it’s the most recent Ariyasu— (^^)

Alright! I’ll be listening to tomorrow’s songs now
while hugging the frog Kikuko gave to me
as I fall asleep de-ariyasu （*｀・Θ・´*）

Sante concert, Gekkan TAKAHASHI
Those were my first 2 concerts this year

I felt so much anxiety

But I somehow managed to complete them successfully ☆

The first song “My Dear Fellow” with Mononofu JAPAN
was just too emotional, I couldn’t take it (*T T*)

To all the Mononofu who welcomed us
with your usual smiles and cheers—

Thank you so much （*^Θ^*）

I’ll be glad
if I had managed to show everyone at the venue, watching the LV, and those who couldn’t make it,
that I am healthy again .:*:゜☆

It’s been a while since I last saw all the Mononofu’s faces

And before I knew it,
sweat aka Ariyasu-sui had started to drip from my eyes,
and the thought “concerts are really so much fun ☆”
just resonated strongly with me yet again.

Thank you, everyone ♪

The tension and anxiety will continue
through this week’s Folk Village on Thursday and MSta on Friday, but…

Everyone, please watch over us—!

So that we will be alright (^^)

I’ll remember everyone’s kind smiles and words
and work hard de-ariyasu （*｀・Θ・´*）

Oh! I do this every year,
so sorry for the delay this time ><

To everyone who took your centre entrance exams,
I hope you’ll achieve good grades… ☆

I pray that everyone taking the exams this year
will be able to show off the hard work
they’ve put in the past year (*’-’).:*:゜☆

Alright!! I’ll work hard today too———

The days are still cold,
but everyone, let’s keep on fighting~ (*>∀<*)

P.S.
The PV for “Momoclo vs KISS”‘s “Yume no ukiyo ni saite mina” has been released~ ♪
Everyone! Please watch it! (*・Θ-*)

I’m a little behind in uploading photos lately,
so I’ll try to catch up slowly—

Please wait for them— ♪

My health has caused
lots of trouble for so many people these few days
I’m really sorry
So sorry for making everyone worry

I thought I’d gotten better, but I fell ill again
and caused even more trouble…
I truly apologize for that

And really sorry
for making all my blog readers worry for me…

But at the same time
thank you
for all the congratulatory comments on my coming-of-age

I may have become an adult,
but the journey is still long

As a new adult of 2015,
I hope to become a more mature person
and in my best effort into everything

…So,
this has become quite a serious entry,
but I really hope to take things step by step
with a one-two-three de-ariyasu （｀・Θ・´）

Today’s BGM
is Mr Children’s “one two three”

Oh! I couldn’t attend the ceremony,
but I still got the chance to dress up (*^Θ^*)

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^*)
