Maimi heads to Fukuoka for the Hello! concerts, where there was a solo surprise and the debut of a new song, in her February 2nd update “Fukuoka~(((o(* ゜▽゜*)o)))“. Full translation below.

Good morning
It’s Maimi

Yesterday we had Hello! Project concerts in Fukuoka

(1)

With the previous performances in Hokkaido, each of the Hello! Project members had a turn during the solo corner,

and we didn’t know who’d sing at the next performance in Fukuoka until about 3 days before

And then, unbelievably,
Yajima performed at the solo corner in Fukuoka（゜０゜)

I was able to sing again

I’m really, really grateful for getting to sing twice

In addition,
yesterday was also the debut of one of the songs from ℃-ute’s double A-side single coming out March 5th,

“Kokoro no Sakebi wo Uta ni Shitemita”＼(^o^)／

After the performance, Suzuki Airi-chan told me
“Even though it was the first time we performed it,
they were chanting “L・O・V・E Lovely Maimi” during the verses~“…(^o^)

Ah! That part of everyone is really amazinglol

Does it happen reflexively??

I was really happy

I think most people still haven’t heard it, so I hope that everyone can listen to it soon

There’s one more song,
“Love take it all”

Also, I was able to see people already wearing my birthday t-shirt here and there from up on stage

I was really happy
Thank you

The other Hello! Project members said
“It’s a little early, but happy birthday“,

and gave me presents and letters

…That said, everyone is so good at picking out presents…

Cute clothes,
cute handkerchiefs…

I’ll use them a lotヽ(；▽；)ノ

Thanks

And then,
Morning Musume ’14’s Ikuta Erina-chan, who is from Fukuoka, gave us these treats

Strawberry daifuku

They were rea~~lly delicious~

Thanks, Eripon

Alright
Right now ℃-ute is right in the middle of the “Tokai no Hitorigurashi/Aitte Motto Zanshin” release commemoration polaroid event…

The 2nd one just now finished

I’ll enjoy the rest too
