Maimi introduces a member from the new group Country Girls and wishes a former Hello! Project member a happy birthday in her January 20th update “Time goes in circles~ヽ( ；▽；)ノ“. Full translation below.

Good afternoon
It’s Maimi

The weather here is nice and has me in a good mood( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
The wind is a little strong though(￣▽￣)

Now then,
today’s introduction is Country Girls’ Inaba Manaka-chan(*^^*)

(1)

Inaba-chan is always smiling and sparkling

I can tell that she’s a really nice girl

Country Girls’ playing manager Tsugunaga Momoko-chan also said

“Inaba-chan is cute“

She was originally a Hello! Project trainee, so she’s like the group’s big sister

She has a strong sense of responsibility,
so she probably thinks “I’ve gotta do it!” and “I’ve gotta be reliable!”, right?

But she’s always smiling without showing that,
so I worried about her

She’s a level-headed 17 year-old Really…

And then, speaking of Inaba-chan,
she’s a really, really good dancer

I wrote this during her birthday the other month,

but the gap between her usual always-smiling self and her coolness when she’s dancing is amazing(　゜д゜)

My eyes become fixated on her…(　゜д゜)

And then, her sweet voice is really charming(o^^o)

The next Hello! Project concert is in Inaba-chan’s hometown, Hokkaido(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

I hope she enjoys the performance in her hometown(≧∇≦)

And then, today, January 20th,
is Yaguchi Mari-san’s birthday

We worked together when I was an elementary school student in the group “ZYX”,

and the group was made up of Yaguchi-san and 5 of the Hello! Project Kids

When I see Momo working hard as a playing manager now,

it made me think again about how Yaguchi-san took care of us and taught us a variety of things back then

Momo was also a member of ZYX,

so seeing her doing the things for our juniors that were done for us back then was deeply moving

Time goes in circles

Please have a wonderful year, Yaguchi-san
Happy birthday

With ZYX members
