Maimi sends out birthday wishes to two Hello! Project members with the same birthday in her February 10th update “Two ladies♪“. Full translation below.

Good evening

Today, February 10th,
is Country Girls’ Ozeki Mai-chan’s and Kobushi Factory’s Nomura Minami-chan’s birthday

Happy birthday

Ozeki-chan is 14
Minamina is 16

They’re surprisingly both born in the 2000s,

with Ozeki-chan being born the year that I joined Hello! Project,

and I still have memories from when I was a child in 2000,
the year Minamina was born~

I was at my grandmother’s house on New Year’s Day,
and we all went to the beach to watch the first sunrise

I was in 3rd grade, but I didn’t fully understand the meaning of the first sunrise,

so I thought the point was to see the very rare first sunrise of 2000!! lol

About 2 months after I thought that, Minamina was born

I probably wrote it last year as well,
but when we were doing the play “Sakura no Tanabata” together, she left a big impression on me

I had an image of her still being a child!!
She’s become really mature,
she comments smoothly,
and since joining Kobushi Factory, I feel like her and the other members stimulate each other to work hard,

so it surprises me and makes me think “Her growth is fast!✨”

She’ll probably grow more and more this year too, don’t you think

And then,
Ozeki-chan is the boyish character of Country Girls,

but her cuteness is soothing too!!
I also like her straight-forwardness

Have a wonderful year, you two

 

Alright,
the YouTube program “Hello! Station” will be updated later tonight at 9:00PM
