Here’s the translation for Maimi’s 2/22 blog update, titled “Thank you“:

Good afternoon
It’s Maimi

For the many comments in regards to the fifth anniversary of ℃-ute’s major debut,
thank you very much

I started to feel really warm as I read them

After our major debut,
we had our first solo concert.
I haven’t forgotten the audience I saw and how I felt at that time

When we sang our major debut single
“Sakura Chirari”,

Suki ni naru no kowai nante hajimari no goro wa ne…

Strangely, I remember this part clearly

The audience I could see from the stage,
the illumination of the spot light,
thinking “Sing as if you’re talking softly” while singing

For ℃-ute,
we did a lot of things for the first time, we were happy we could do them, and we always, always gave it everything we had

As such, we were able to arrive at a full five years since our major debut,

and from here on too, while never forgetting that feeling, I want to run forward swiftly

The people who have cheered for ℃-ute from that time

And then, the people who didn’t know about ℃-ute then, but cheer for us now

Both are people we’re really, really happy about

For loving ℃-ute,
thank you very much

The comments from everyone were too warm, so today, one day after the fifth anniversary of our major debut, I wrote about this subject again m(__)m

“I’m hungry~(^-^)”
I thought, so I went to a pasta restaurant

When I realized it, one hour had passed since I finished eating

I’ll finish my apple juice in just a little bit

I need to leave the restaurant soon

Well then, until tomorrow’s update~
