Maimi introduces another one of the latest members to join Hello! Project and shares lots of announcements in her January 18th update “Lots of announcements“. Full translation below.

Good evening
It’s Maimi

We had Hello! Project concerts in Nagoya yesterday and today

At the Nagoya performances, before the actual performances, we held the annual Hello! Project coming-of-age ceremony

There are more girls who have become adults than ever before, so the ceremony was split into 3 parts( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

I helped out as the facilitator

When I think about it, the Hello! Project coming-of-age ceremonies started the year I became an adult,

and it’s amazing to think that they’ve entrusted it to me,
who was celebrated back then…

Time flies…

The members who became new adults are

Morning Musume。’15’s Iikubo Haruna-chan,
Berryz Koubou Sugaya Risako-chan,
℃-ute’s Suzuki Airi-chan and Okai Chisato-chan,
ANGERME’s Wada Ayaka-chan and Fukuda Kanon-chan,
and Juice=Juice’s Miyazaki Yuka-chan

Congratulations

I took a picture of 2 of those new adults

(1)

At all 3 performances at Nippon Tokushuu Tougyou Shimin Kaikan Forest Hall yesterday, there were a lot of people all the way up to the 4th floor,

and I was really happy to be able to look up and see people there

The 3 performances were full of happiness

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

Alright
Today’s new member introduction is…
From the new unit…

(2)

Hirose Ayaka-chan,

who I hosted the previous episode of the YouTube program “Hello! Station” with!!

Ah(￣▽￣)
Hirose-chan is channeling Momochi (Berryz Koubou’s Tsugunaga Momoko) in this picture! lol(￣+ー￣)

Her pinky is receiving radio waveslol

Setting that aside,
when I filmed “Hello! Station” with Hirose-chan, I thought “She’s really level-headed“

She listened carefully to the staff and said “Ah! They told me that before, so surely I should say this the same way?”,

and so I got the impression that she’s a quick witted and thorough girl(゜o゜

The staff were praising her “That girl is a smart one“

She’s sang and danced for a long time, and she told me in the taxi that she really loves those things

I bet she’s looking forward to her group getting more and more songs(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

And then, I have a lot of announcements today
