Maimi heads south to record her Christmas special in her December 15th update “It’s late(＞人＜;)“. Full translation below.

Good evening
It’s Maimi

I’m sorry for updating late

Yesterday, we had the release commemoration polaroid, signing, and handshake events for our new single “I miss you/THE FUTURE” in Nagoya(//∇//)

It was really, really coldΣ(￣。￣ノ)ノ

A lot of people participated even in the cold, so I was really happy

In addition, we had our first signing event, which is a new experiment where we sign and write everyone’s name right then and there on a mini-sized signature square(o^^o)

I was excited wondering “What will the signing event be like(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))“,

and I was able to talk about a variety of things while signing, so it was really fun

I was able to meet a lot of people at the polaroid and handshake events too,
so I was happy

There were a lot of people who said “Have a happy New Year~“,
and “Thanks for everything this year“,
and “I’m looking forward to next year“,

so it really hit me that this year is almost over

It’s fast~… Seriously……

I received power from a lot of people, and it was a really fun day

Thank you

Afterwards, I said “Bye bye” to everyone, and headed to Osaka(*^^*)

I had promotion activities today,

and on the way, I dropped in to Hello! Project Official Shop Shinsaibashi store~(^o^)/*

(1)

There were people who were shopping there normally,
and they were surprised to see me suddenly show up,

and I became happy thinking “This is what it’s like when everyone shops~“

I signed some things to commemorate my visit, so if you have the chance to go to the Shinsaibashi store, please be sure to look

And then, I took a picture with Miyazaki Rio-chan (left) and Yagi Saki-chan (right) from Lovelys!!!!

We travelled to Kobe together,
and we appeared on Radio Kansai’s “Homerun Dome presents ℃-ute Yajima Maimi no Maimi~ Xmas!”(^o^)/*

(2)

I’ve worked with Miyazaki-chan several times before,

but this was the first time with Yagi-chan

By the way, the character on Yagi-chan’s right shoulder is “Upagi”

She’s a really peculiar girl,
and she’s living full throttle in her own world( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

It was a public recording, so a lot of people came in the cold

I’m really grateful
It was a 2 hour program, so it was probably difficult to stand for that long too

I’m really happy everyone came to meet us~(T ^ T)

Everyone who supported us even though you couldn’t come, thank you too

During breaks in the recording, they turned on the microphones inside and outside the booth,

so I could clearly hear everyone

There were a lot of people who dashed over on their way home from work, so I was really, really grateful

Before the recording for the program,
we recorded a commercial that will broadcast a little before December 24th

The commercial recording was broadcast live on Ustream,
and thank you to everyone who checked it out

The program recording started,
and we got excited talking about a variety of things,

like Christmas, since it will broadcast on Christmas Eve,
each of our groups, and responding letters from everyone(^o^)/*

During the program,
there was an appearance by Homerun Dome Himeji location’s Oji Noriaki-san, who set up the public recording

I come from a family who loves baseball,
so all of my family would go to batting cages when I was younger

I got the urge to go to a batting cage again for the first time in awhile

I want to play the pitching game “Struck Out” too

I hope I’ll get a chance to go to the Himeji store with Miyazaki-chan and Yagi-chan(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

This was the first time I was able to talk so long with Miyazaki-chan, and of course Yagi-chan,

so it was a really fun time
Time had passed in the blink of an eye, and we went 25 minutes overσ(^_^;)

I was worried I wouldn’t be able to make the last bullet train
But I hurried over, and I was able to make it in time(≧∇≦)

I’m glad…ε-(´∀｀; )

Actually, on the way to the studio in Kobe from the Hello Shop, I found a store that sells doggie clothes

(3)

Continuing from the picture of Rookie Santa I uploaded the other day,
Cologne and Aroma Santa…

Aren’t they cute(//∇//)

There are doggies who hate wearing outfits,

but Cologne and Aroma understand when we say “Cute”, so it seems they don’t mind

They wore the outfits quietly like
“Pooh“lol

There are 4 doggies in my house,
so I really wanted to buy 4 outfits,
but I ran out of time(＞人＜;)

I hope I can get another chance to buy them

It was a day full of Christmas spirit

Thank you to all of the staff who worked on this program
