Maimi gets together with all of Berikyuu for a shoot and introduces yet another member of Country Girls in her January 11th update “With Berikyuu(o^^o)“. Full translation below.

Good morning
It’s Maimi

Yesterday morning Berryz Koubou and ℃-ute had a photoshoot together

(1)

The shoot took place at a school in the city,

where the desks and chairs in the classroom were like the ones I saw every day in the past,

and they looked really small seeing them for the first time in awhile

Everyone said “We’ve become adults~“,
and I earnestly felt so

It was really, really fun, and the time we spent as Berikyuu was nice

Our shoot yesterday was for the issue of “UTB” going on sale in February,
and the cover of “Hello! Project BEST SHOT!” going on sale in March

Please be sure to check them out

Afterwards,
we had Hello! Project concerts at Nakano Sunplaza(^o^)/*

There were 2 performances yesterday
A lot of people came to watch, and everyone’s smiles filled me with happiness

Everyone who participated, everyone who supported us even though they couldn’t participate, thank you

In the dressing room, Berryz Koubou’s Natsuyaki Miyabi-chan said

“My granny made this It’s mashed pineapple, eat up Eat

up~(o^^o)” and distributed it to everyone

It was the first time I heard of mashed pineapple(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

I got some too~(^o^)/*

It’s really delicious(//∇//)

(2)

I ate it in a flash~(≧∇≦)

Miya’s grandma…
I want to meet her~( ´ ▽ ` )

Thanks for the treat(//∇//)

And then, my customary Hello! Project new member introduction…

Today is Country Girls’ Yamaki Risa-chan
(3)

Yamaki-chan had been a Hello! Project trainee up until now

There was one time she was the host of one of ℃-ute’s DVD magazines,

and she’s gives me the impression that she’s really level-headed and intelligent…(o^^o)

I love Yamaki-chan’s big, droopy eyes~( ´ ▽ ` )

Yeah She’s really beautiful

She showed her special skill in painting at yesterday’s performance, and it was reaaaaally, really good… It was so good everyone in

the venue was surprised

In addition, it seems she’s proud of her horse riding skill…
Horse riding is nice~~

So cool(//∇//)

She’s gifted with both intelligence and beauty

Yesterday before the performances,
Yamaki-chan greeted me with “Let’s do our best~(o^^o)”, and I replied back “Let’s do our best(o^^o)”,

but for some reason I unconsciously thought we’d high-five,

and when I suddenly raised my hand,

Yamaki-chan reacted as if a bunch of question marks were appearing above her head(^◇^;)lol

When I saw her face I thought
“Huh? What am I doing?(　゜д゜)”,

and I became embarassed saying “Sorry I made a mistake(；゜０゜)”(lol)

She responded with a high-five though~(*^^*)

I think there are still a lot of sides of her I haven’t seen yet, so I want to learn lots and lots more about Yamaki-chan

Alright

We have Hello! Project concerts at Nakano Sunplaza again today~(o^^o)

We’ve had concerts at Nakano Sunplaza since the start of the year,

but today is our last performance of the current concert tour there

I want to enjoy myself to the fullest

Well then, until tomorrow’s update~

Today from 11:30PM to 12:00AM,

episode 2 of TBS Radio’s “Ebu★Raji ~Yoru no Renzoku Sumaho Shousetsu ~Ore ga Mamotte Yaru yo.~” will air

Oda Miyabi, who I play,
and Kurosaki Yuuga-senpai, who is played by Sano Gaku-san

What kind of development is waiting for them
