Maimi practices a new dance and shares her mother’s delight in her February 3rd update “Good child~(^^)“. Full translation below.

Good afternoon
It’s Maimi

Yesterday ℃-ute had a dance lesson~(^^)

Ah
Before the dance lesson, our teachers showed us a video of themselves doing the dance,

and while we were watching…

I was at a loss for words like “(　゜д゜)…”,

and when we tried to do the dance yesterday, we weren’t able to do it with the same amount of force as our teachers, so it was pretty hard…(；゜０゜)

We’ve gotta practice a lot…

Afterwards, I had rehearsal for my birthday event happening on February 6th( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

When I think about how the performance is 3 days away, my heart starts pounding to the MAX(　゜д゜)

But a lot of people will probably gather to see me on that day, right?

So I want to have fun and express my feelings of gratitude

I hope the atmosphere is warm~(o^^o)

It’s during the week, so I think it’s difficult for some people to go, but tickets are on sale until the 5th,

so if you like, please come and watch my last performance as a 22-year-old

That’s right, a little while ago it was actually my mom’s birthday,

and that day my mom seemed happy when she sent me an e-maillol

It seems she sent an e-mail to my brother who is currently in Tokyo saying

“Today’s my birthday~
You forgot, didn’t you^_^;”! lol

And then, he responded
“Don’t bring up your birthday yourself! lol
I remembered, and your present arrived here a little while ago(^_^;)lol

I’ll come home the day after tomorrow, so I’ll give it to you then m(_ _)m”

And then, it seems my brother gave her the present when he came home the other day(o^^o)

She showed me a bottle of wine while saying “Mai, look look~ It’s from the same year that your mother was born~(^^) I wonder, where did it rest all those decade~?( ´ ▽ ` )ノ”

He also gave her a letter,
and it had a message of gratitude♪( ´θ｀)ノ

How wonderful~
It can be embarassing to express our thanks, but it’s really important that we do

My mom was so delighted that even I became happy(^^)

My siblings and I have all become adults,
and our parents raised us with a lot of love,

so I’ve gotta follow my brother’s example and be a good child too (o^^o)

Well, even though I say that, I’m probably going to cause a lot more trouble for them still(＞人＜;)

Please continue to take care of me

Now then! Changing the subject, I’ll attach a picture of Rookie I was unable to yesterday

(1)

When I opened the door to the sunroom, he woke up( ´ ▽ ` )

Rookie is already 13-years-old(^^)

But doesn’t he look young

He’s been my pet dog since before I joined Hello! Project

I hope he’s always full of life

Well then, let’s enjoy the rest of the day

Until tomorrow~♪( ´θ｀)ノ

p.s.
