Here’s the translation for Maimi’s 7/1 blog update, titled “Solo event“:

Good morning
It’s Maimi

Thank you for the many comments

Everyone’s feelings, I was really happy and felt warm

And then, since I’m already almost 20-years-old, I’ll be careful about riding the wrong train(｀・ω´・)

Well well, starting today it’s July

Breaking into the second half of the year

Now, today is my thoughts about the solo event on the 29th…

Ahhh
I was nervous

This time I chose the MC, the songs, and the order of the songs myself,

so “I wonder what kind of event will people enjoy” I thought, and considered various things

The songs I sang were like this…

1. Haru Ichiban / Candies

2. Natsu DOKI Lipstick / ℃-ute Yajima Maimi

3. Hitoshirezu Mune wo Kanaderu Yoru no Aki / PuriPuri Pink

4. Shiroi TOKYO / ZYX

5. Makenaide / ZARD

There’s probably people who have noticed

The first four songs, I chose them so my various expressions could come out through the four seasons during the short event

For “Hitoshirezu Mune wo Kanaderu Yoru no Aki”, I thought “I want to sing while looking at each and every person’s face as much as possible“, and I tried walking through the aisles of the audience while singing for the first time

Actually, I think I’ve only descended into the audience once before now

So it was really fresh, and it was the first time I could see everyone’s eyes up close as they listened intently

And then, the last song “Makenaide” was for everyone in Japan, and not just me, but everyone who came sang together

I was moved~
How wonderful~ I thought

Those people who are working hard through the difficult state of affairs now, and those who wanted to come but couldn’t, I hope that powerful singing voice was able to be heard by a lot of people

In spite of being a weekday, after work was done, after school was done, or they had the day off of work, a lot of people came to meet me

Thank you very much

I wonder if it was really my last solo event as a teenager

It became an event where I was exhausted from nervousness
but I was surrounded by everyone’s warmth, and there was a lot of happiness

…if everyone else had fun too, I’m happy

Everyone who supports me, thank you

And then, right now, I’m on the train Today I’m alright(^o^;)

S/mileage on the ad in front of me are watching over me…

Alright Today I’ll tanobaru Everyone, have a wonderful day too…
