Maimi heads north for the Hello! Project concerts in her January 25th update “Fluttering~(o^^o)“. Full translation below.

Good evening
It’s Maimi

Yesterday we had Hello! Project concerts in Sapporo

(1)

When we arrived in Hokkaido, snow had piled up on the ground, so I was moved(*^^*)

The reflection of the sun on the pure white snow was dazzling♪( ´θ｀)ノ

There was only 1 performance yesterday,
so it felt like it was over in the blink of an eye~(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

Everyone who had come down with the flu returned, and we were able to stand on stage with all of the members(//∇//)

There were a lot of female fans in Hokkaido

At the start of each song,
I could hear cheers of “Kyaaa“

And then, there was a happy announcement during the concert

Country Girls will make their major debut on March 25th with the single
“Itoshikutte Gomen ne/Koi Dorobou”(^o^)/*

The announcement was made in Hokkaido, the birthplace of Country Musume。,

and the members cried tears of happiness the moment of the announcement

We were really happy when our major debut was decided too~

I can really understand their feelings

Congratulations

The venue had an auspicious atmosphere
I was able to see a lot of smiles during the concert, so I was filled with happiness

Everyone who participated, everyone who cheered for us even though you couldn’t, thank you

When we went outside after the performance, snow was fluttering down…( ´ ▽ ` )

It was the first snow of the season for me, so it was exciting(//∇//)

(2)

On the bus back I sat next to Chii-san (Berryz Koubou’s Tokunaga Chinami-chan)(^o^)/*

By the way, Chinami is fake sleepinglol

And since we had come all the way to Sapporo,

we hurried and squeezed into a ramen restaurant at the airport(≧∇≦)

(3)

The sapporo ramen was really delicious~♪( ´θ｀)ノ

Chinami ate a large by herselfΣ(￣。￣ノ)ノ
What an amazing appetite(　゜д゜)

And then, she ate everything despite the fact that we didn’t have much time,
so I was impressed thinking “Just as I’d expect~(；゜０゜)”(^_^;)

I ate everything as well,
though I didn’t have a large size(^o^)/*

I was full of happiness(*^^*)

I was able to make wonderful memories

Changing the subject,
today we had polaroid & signing & handshake events in Tokyo(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

A lot of people participated in the morning despite the cold,

and since it was our first chance to talk this year,
a lot of people said thinks like “Happy New Year”
and “Best regards this year too“

I should be saying those things(//∇//)

There were a lot of people who were worried about me being the Hello! Project leader and gave their support

As expected,
meeting and talking with everyone is really fun, makes me happy, and gives me power

There were also people participating for the first time and who recently joined team ℃-ute,

so I was really grateful for the new encounters

Everyone who participated,
everyone who cheered for us,
thank you so much

Whoa(；゜０゜)
The date changedΣ(￣。￣ノ)ノ
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to update in time

Let’s have a wonderful day tomorrow (today)

Good night~
