Maimi prepares to ring in the new year with the fans in her December 31st update “The last day of 2015!“. Full translation below.

Good morning

The last day of 2015 has finally arrived((((；ﾟДﾟ)))))))

I couldn’t update yesterday,
but December 30th was Juice=Juice’s Uemura Akari-chan’s birthday

Congratulations on your 17th birthday, Uemura-chan

She has mature looks,
so Uemura-chan gives the impression that she’s already grown up,

but she’s still only 17((((；ﾟДﾟ)))))))
Shock

But in contrast to her mature looks,
it’s relieving when I see her innocencelol

And then, her singing has improved each time I meet her,
so I always think “Amazing~~“

She’s probably putting in a lot of effort

I hope each day of her next year is fun and carefree in her own way

 

And then, there was one more cause for celebration yesterday（≧∇≦）

Kobushi Factory won the Best Newcomer award at the Japan Record Awards

Congratulations(T ^ T)

The Best Newcomer award is something you can only win once, so I think all of the members’ joy is really, really big。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

It’s a wonderful thing you can be proud of through your whole life,
and don’t you think it gave them self-confidence??

I hope they never forget how they feel now and when they first started no matter how many years pass,

and break through all obstacles with their fist

As a member of Hello! Project,
I’m really proud of Kobushi Factory for winning the Best Newcomer award

Congratulations again

 

Aaaaalright!
Amongst that happy mood,
we will bring 2015 to a close with the Hello! Project Countdown Live held at Nakano Sunplaza today

I’m really lucky to be able to cross over into the new year with everyone I love

The first part starts at 4:00PM~
The second part starts at 11:00PM~

I think it’s a long stretch of time for anyone participating in both

And then, at the Countdown Live,
Sayashi Riho-chan will graduate from Morning Musume。’15.

For us too,
it’s the last time we’ll stand on stage with Sayashi-chan while she’s a member of Morning Musume。’15.

So that I can see her off with a smile,
and so that our last time standing on stage together becomes the most fun memory of Sayashi-chan’s,

we’ll enjoy it with all our might and no regrets!

Those who unfortunately can’t come to Nakano Sunplaza,

there are live viewings of Countdown Live all over the country,

so I’ll be happy if you make sure to go to a nearby theater and pass the time with us

 

I want to put on a concert where everyone watching can understand my feelings of “Thank you so much for 2015.” and “Please support Hello! Project in 2016!”

So that this year ends on a high note,
and 2016 gets off to a great start,

let’s all make it the best atmosphere possible

Well then! The last day of 2015!!

I hope everyone spends it with a lot of happiness…

Later
