Maimi takes another shot at making sweets and relives the Budoukan performance from the audience’s perspective in her December 14th update “Full|(￣3 ￣)|“. Full translation below.

Good afternoon
It’s Maimi

Yesterday morning I tried making sweets again

Tada

(1)

Snowball cakes

I made something I like this time|(￣3￣)|

Airi often gives them on Valentine’s Day, and that’s how I came to like them(^O^)／

They were crunchy and delicious

This time I was able to understand if it was good or not

That’s right
Before making snowball cakes, I went to the supermarket

And then, I ran into a classmate(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

I didn’t notice her at all,
but she had called out to me

I was surprisedΣ(・□・)

By the way, that classmate came to watch the Budoukan performance on September 10th

“After this, I’m going to school“, she told me~(^-^)/

Recently I’ve reunited with a lot of my classmates, so I’m happy

Everyone is completely grown-up…( ´▽｀)

In the afternoon, I watched the Blu-ray of the Budoukan performance with my pet dogs

I was sobbing…>_<…
It was moving(T ^ T)

I got goosebumps。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

As expected, the performance was like a dream…

Once again I thought “I want to stand on that stage again~“,

and a large amount of people gathered… There were also people who couldn’t come but still cheered for us from wherever they were…

It made me think that we’re fortunate… Truly…(T ^ T)

I looked really happy on the Blu-ray

My face was really ugly when I was crying though…(￣◇￣;)

Well, it can’t be helped(^人^)

That’s how moved I was

That excitement was me thinking

“I really love everyone, everyone☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆”…(;^_^A

In the evening,
I went with my mom to Theater Sun Mall to see
“Kemuri ga Me ni Shimiru”

It’s a recording of the play held at the same Theater Sun Mall in April of 2003,

and it’s set in a crematorium,
and the late Utsumi Kenji-san and Suzuoki Hirotaka-san play ghosts

A large screen was installed on stage, so we were able to enjoy the play as if it were back then

When I thought that I was watching a video from 10 years earlier in the same venue…

It was a strange feeling

The story was rea~lly funny, it was warm, and heart-breaking…

Everyone in the venue was sniffling and covering their noses with handkerchiefs!(;_;)

The applause in the video mixed with the applause of everyone in the same venue 10 years later,

and I was able to understand the reason that a work from 10 years ago was repeated countless times, shown as a movie, and is still loved today

 

 

A~lright
And then, the rehearsals for the New Year’s concerts start today(^o^)/*

This morning, my cellphone was going off non-stop,
and I thought “WhatΣ(￣。￣ノ)ノ WhatΣ(￣。￣ノ)ノ”,
and it was my close friend sending me a lot of picturesΣ(・□・；)

In addition, they were a~ll pictures of me(￣◇￣;)

When we were hanging out earlier, she was snickering “Hehehe(￣+ー￣)” while I was eating,

and she was taking rapid-fire pictures(゜O゜)＼(- -;

“I took a lot of pictures“, she said on LINE(^^;;

And lastly, she sent her picture tooΣ(￣。￣ノ)ノ

Hehe…
Isn’t she a fun girl
Ah! It’s the girl who said “Teach me the dance~“, which I wrote about in an earlier update

Here’s pictures of me taken by her(^^)

(2)

Lastly,
a picture of Aroma, who watched me sadly as I left the house this morning

(3)

But…

This sad gaze is directed at…

My mom…

Yes. She didn’t look at me once…….m(._.)m

I’ll go cheerfully today too

Today at 7:30PM~
I will appear on NHK’s “Tsutaete Pikacchi”

I was able to take advantage of my love for making things*\(^o^)/*
