Maimi enjoys the Christmas season to the fullest with Christmas events and Christmas lights in her December 21st update “Received happiness( ´▽ ` )“. Full translation below.

Good evening
It’s Maimi

We had a Christmas event yesterday~♪( ´θ｀)ノ

(1)

The 3 performances were over in the blink of an eye~~(//∇//)

Unbeknownst to us, the staff surveyed Berryz Koubou and the Hello! Project trainees about a variety of things,

so we were able to learn about how they see ℃-ute(*^^*)

It was interesting and made me think “E~hh They have that kind of impression of us(*^^*)“(o^^o)

There was also a raffle and a concert corner…

It felt like a Christmas party due to the many people dressed as Santa and reindeer, so it was exciting

Everyone who participated,
everyone who couldn’t but cheered for us still, thank you very much

In the evening, Hagiwara Mai-chan and I went to “Ichiran”~♪( ´θ｀)ノ

It’s only my 2nd time ever going~(o^^o)

Ramen Ramen(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))
Since it was cold outside, it really warmed me up ε-(´∀｀*)

(2)

On the way home, we rode with the taxi driver we always ride with,

and he said “The Christmas lights in midtown are beautiful~( ´ ▽ ` )”,

and drove us in front of them

We were so excited by how beautiful they were,

he asked “Should we drive by again(o^^o)?”…(T ^ T)

In the end, we got out of the taxi and enjoyed the Christmas lights(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

(3)

It was so beautiful it felt like it was going to suck me in~~(T ^ T)

Even though my ears felt like they were going to freeze,

the cold atmosphere made the Christmas lights all the more beatiful~( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

The Christmas lights were still lingering with us after returning to the taxi, so the 2 of us watched clips of displays

Mie prefecture has some really beautiful Christmas lights~~

Some day I’d like to see them in person~(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

 

And then,
today we had the last polaroid, signing, and handshake events of the year

It was my last opportunity to talk to everyone this year,

so there were a lot of people who said
“Thank you for this year~“,
“See you next year“,
and “Have a happy New Year’s…“

It made me feel warm,

and also a little sad(/ _ ; )

A variety of memories from this year were brought back while talking

A lot of things happened this year

This year felt like it went by really, really fast, but when I look back, it was a really full year

Thanks to everyone’s constant support, every moment of it was really fun

There were a lot of people who said “I became a fan this year“,

and I think it’s amazing that now I’m spending time together with people who didn’t know about us the same time last year~

I’m really grateful for all these chance encounters

Thank you for finding meヽ(；▽；)ノ

My feelings of gratitude to everyone are boiling over,

but there’s still a lot of activities left in 2014

I’ll keep running until the very end

I’ll write about my gratitude for this year again later

Everyone’s warmth made it a really happy day for me

Those who participated today,
those who couldn’t but sent their feelings from afar,

thank you so very much

Enjoy the remainder of 2014

I looked at the Christmas lights outside the venue from the dressing room window, and they were really pretty~

Tonight I’ll get into bed in a dreamy state of mind

I feel like I can have fun while working hard again tomorrow(*^^*)

Everyone, have sweet dreams~

Good night

Tomorrow at 1:26AM,
TV Asahi’s “music-ru TV” airs(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

℃-ute and the students finally come face-to-face(o^^o)
