Maimi tries to cope with the morning cold and a forgetful relative in her January 4th update “Children/(// ∇//)/“. Full translation below.

Good morning
It’s Maimi

The mornings are getting colder(・・;)
Every morning I think “It’s cold(°_°)” and roll up into a ball…(^^;;

We had Hello! Project concerts again yesterday

(1)

Everyone’s smiles made me feel really happy( ´ ▽ ` )

Everyone who came, everyone who cheered for us, thank you very much

My mom picked me up yesterday, and one of my young relatives rode in the car as well

They’re still small, so it seems they fell sound asleep on the way there,

and their sleeping face was cute

It was the first time I saw them in awhile, and they were soothing

However, I upset them when we returned to the house…(^^;;

We haven’t met in probably a year

So they completely forgot meヽ(´o｀；

They seemed to be in high spirits before they arrived though,
as they were singing the e~ntire time,

and while looking at the symbols on the GPS,
they said “It’s Thomas Thomas“(^^;;

While listening to my mom tell me that,
I thought “Children are really funny and cute~“/(//∇//)/

I hope we can meet again
And I hope I won’t make them cry then…σ(^_^;)

They went shopping with my mama and picked out these bathing powders for me

(2)

This alone is enough to tug at my heart

Thanks…

And then, I have an announcement for everyone(^_-)

℃-ute adorns the cover of the issue of “Shuukan BIG COMIC Spirits” which goes on sale today

I’m rea~lly happy we can appear on the first cover of 2014

We wore fluffy white and sharp black outfits

Everyone, please be sure to check it out

Alright Today’s the third day of Hello! Project concerts

I’ll go and have fun today(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

p.s.

Today is the 22nd birthday of Fukunaga Marika-chan,

who I co-starred with in the play “Sakura no Hanataba” last March

Uh oh.
She became 22-years-old before me…

Ju~st kidding

Happy birthday Marika-chan

Even to this day she ocassionally e-mails me and comes to see my plays and concerts…

I’m happy that we can still keep in touch like this after our play ended

I hope we can co-star again someday

Have a wonderful 22nd
