Maimi reveals the origin story of Eyepatch Airi and talks S/mileage’s new members in her October 5th update “news(O_O)“. Full translation below.

Good morning
It’s Maimi

 

It’s raining, huh…(°_°)
I wonder if the effects of the typhoon will be too much

Everyone, please be careful(._.)

 

Now then, yesterday we had polaroid and individual handshake events in Osaka(≧∇≦)

At the polaroid and handshake,
I was able to talk to everyone in team ℃-ute for the first time in awhile, so I was reaaaaally happy

Yeah
It was reaaaally fun and I received a lot of power (o^^o)

As expected, being able to meet everyone up close makes me happy~( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Everyone who participated,
everyone who couldn’t participate but still supported us, thank you so very much

 

That’s right…!
At yesterday’s polaroid & individual handshake event,
Suzuki Airi-chan appeared wearing an eyepatch…

(1)

Actually, we got in a big fight yesterday,
and I hit her without thinking…(._.)

 

Sorry…
But we’ve already reconciled

 

 

 

Of course that’s a joke,

 

and actually she said that a mosquito bit her eyelidΣ（゜д゜lll)

 

I was surprised thinking “EhΣ(￣。￣ノ)ノ That kind of thing happens??”,

 

and first thing in the morning, all the members and our manager received a message on LINE that read

“My eye is……”,

and while I wondered what it could be,

I was shocked when we met up((((；゜Д゜)))))))

It was really swollen(>_<)

Poor Airi…

 

Eyepatch Airi is really rare,
so those that saw her at the polaroid event and handshake are especially lucky(^◇^;)

 

I hope it heals soon and the swelling stops…(´・_・`)
Take care…

 

And then, one more thing
Speaking of yesterday’s big news,

the new members of S/mileage were announced

From the Hello! Project trainees,

Murota Mizuki-chan
Sasaki Rikako-chan
Aikawa Maho-chan

Murota-chan and Sasaki-chan have both participated in ℃-ute tours,

and I have the impression that the 2 of them are really hard workers and eager to learn

Aikawa-chan just joined the Hello! Project trainees this year,
and there’s probably no one more surprised by how much her life has changed since then than her

In addition to the new members,

S/mileage’s name will also change, so I’m excited and nervous to see what kind of group they’ll become

 

℃-ute won’t lose
We’ll strengthen our resolve and do our best(｀・∀・´)

 

Aaalright
Today we have polaroid & individual handshake events in Nagoya( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Everyone who is participating, please travel safely

Let’s have a wonderful day
Until tomorrow’s update~
