Maimi drops in at Chisato’s birthday event in her June 22nd update “Birthday event(o^^o)“. Full translation below.

Good morning
It’s Maimi

 

Yesterday Hagiwara Mai-chan and I went to the first performance of Okai Chisato-chan’s birthday event~

(1)

When we entered the dressing room, the 20-year-old Chisato was nervous and fidgety( ´θ｀)ノ

She was pacing the e~~ntire time saying “Will it be alright(´Д` )”, “Will it be alright(´Д` )“…(^^)

Seeing her do that made even me nervouslol

But, as expected, solo events are nerve-racking

Amongst that nervous atmosphere, Chisato’s event began(^^)

It started with a corner where they looked back on Chisato’s life with pictures,

and Mai and I helped bring out the picture panels(o^^o)

Actually, we had planned to leave the stage as soon was we brought the panels out,

but Chisato said “I’m nervous, so please stay here for a little while(´Д` )”…

How cute~(//∇//)

So we stayed for a little bit and then left(^o^)

It’s because we wanted to watch from the audience

We also got to hear Chisato perform “Kanashiki Heaven” with a fans chosen by random in a special corner(≧∇≦)

Everyone was amazing~~

They sang magnificently in front of such a large crowd

The audience’s atmosphere was warm, and e~veryone cheered while waving their glowsticks

It made me think that the kind of collaborations that can only happen at a fanclub event are amazing

And then, the concert corner started( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

(2)

Mai and I participated with the Chisato towel and glowsticks from the goods(//∇//)

There were a lot of songs that I heard Chisato practicing in the dressing room up to then that I was excited to hear at the performance(//∇//)

Her singing voice was wonderful~

There was also a song where Chisato started singing a capella,

and the sound of her singing voice reverberating had me mesmerized thinking “Cool~~(//∇//)”~

And then, during the interlude of “Romantic Ukare Mode”,

the original singer, Fujimoto Miki-san, made an appearance exciting the entire venue(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

Chisato had no idea,
but Mai and I actually greeted her backstage,

and I thought “It’s almost time, isn’t it☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆” while waiting with excitement☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

 

Chisato was really, really surprised(^o^)/*

That’s to be expected though(^o^)/*
The senior she looks up to suddenly appeared…

Chisato getting surprised, embarassed, and hiding her face with her hands was really cute(o^^o)

We were lucky to be able to hear Fujimoto-san and Chisato’s “Romantic Ukare Mode”

Being able to experience the tremendous excitement of that song from the audience became a precious experience for me☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

 

There were corners and songs that were different in each performance,

and I read on Nakajima Saki-chan’s update that they read a letter from Chisato’s mother during the second performance~

 

I bet it was a rea~lly warm event filled with love~

The 20-year-old Chisato was sparkling

Thanks for the wonderful time…

 

Alright
Rehearsal for the annual Hello! Project summer concerts start for us today(^o^)

I’ll go do my best fired up

Well then, well then, until tomorrow’s update~
