Maimi begins rehearsal for the autumn tour and readies herself for the day’s event with Chinami in her August 19th update “STARTε= ┌(^o^)┘“. Full translation below.

Good morning
It’s Maimi

Yesterday we started full-fledged rehearsal for the autumn tour(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

(1)

They gave us the stage positions for each song in turn(o^^o)

This time we perform some songs that we haven’t for a reaaaally, really long time

It’s been so long, that I was moved when we did the dance(≧∇≦)

We had to start with everyone remembering the choreography(^◇^;)

Quite some time before hand,
the staff asked us “What would you like to do??“,

so we came up with a variety of ideas like
“We want to do that”
and “We want to do this“, whether or not it was something we could actually do( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

 

Much to our delight, they’ll be implementing a lot of our ideas

We’ll perform that song and do that thing

We’ll have that kind of corner…(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

We didn’t go through all the songs at yesterday’s rehearsal,

but I’m already excited(//∇//)

The feeling of putting a concert together like this makes me happy

Though we’re only in the beginning stages, it’s considerably fun(≧∇≦)

I laughed a loooot at the rehearsal too(//∇//)

I’m grateful to Tsunku♂-san and all of the tour staff for taking ℃-ute’s ideas into consideration

Nacky wrote it as well,
but we have to review what we’ve learned at rehearsal so far(*^^*)

Even though we haven’t gotten all of the songs,
I’m already looking forward to the performances(*^^*)

As expected, I love concerts

We’ve gotta work hard so that we can get better each time

The tour starts September 21st,
so please be absolutely sure to come and hang outヽ(；▽；)ノ

I will work hard together with everyone to make it a concert that makes everyone who comes think “I’m glad I came“(*^^*)

Aaaalright
And then, today is my event with Berryz Koubou’s Tokunaga Chinami-chan(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

(2)

For this event,
the 2 of us came up with the corners and setlist

My heart is pounding wonder how it will turn out

I’ll have another wonderful day today

Well then, until tomorrow’s update~

Later~(o^^o)
