Speaking of ℃-ute,
our spring tour “9→10-shuunen Kinen ℃-ute Concert Tour 2015 Haru ~The Future Departure~” started today(*^^*)✨

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

Once again, it made me think that I really love concerts\(//∇//)\
Countless times during the concert I thought “I’m so happy(≧∇≦)”…

I’ll be happy if everyone who participated had fun too(^^)❤️

This tour continues until June 11th*\(^o^)/*

Speaking of this June 11th,
it’ll be the 10th anniversary of ℃-ute’s formation!!

On that day, we will have our first solo performance at Yokohama Arena!!(T ^ T)

The fact that the day will come when ℃-ute will stand on stage at Yokohama Arena…

And the fact that we’ve been able to continue for 10 years is thanks to the support of everyone❤️

June 11th.
I want to include my gratitude and feeling of “Please support ℃-ute as we start anew our 11th year!!”,

and make the atmosphere at our performance at Yokohama Arena, which we’ve dreamt of since we were little, the best possible with everyone p(^-^)q

The tour that started today is heading for Yokohama Arena!!

I want each and every performance to make people think “Today was the best!!”ヾ(＠^▽^＠)ﾉ

If you have time,
please be sure to come to the concert!!( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

℃-ute loves concerts!
We’re a group whose lives are concerts❤️

I want everyone who knows about ℃-ute to be sure to come see a ℃-ute concert❤️❤️❤️

 

℃-ute is always waiting(*v.v)｡

 

And then, please support ℃-ute!!

We’re working with Ameba starting today(^^)
