Here’s the translation for Maimi’s 1/14 blog update, titled “Coming-of-age ceremony at Nagoya“:

Good evening
It’s Maimi

I’m sorry for the late update

Right now, I’m in Nagoya
Today and tomorrow are the Hello! Project concert’s Nagoya performances

And then, the day after tomorrow is
the release commemoration handshake event for ℃-ute’s photobook “Cutest” in Nagoya

At today’s concert, before the beginning of the concert
for the sake of Berryz Koubou’s Shimizu Saki-chan, Tsugunaga Momoko-chan,
Mano Erina-chan,
and then myself,

they had the Hello☆Project coming-of-age ceremony

A lot of people celebrated for us, so I was really happy

I’m grateful to the staff, all of the members, and the fans

In the dressing room today
Morning Musume,
Berryz Koubou,
and ℃-ute were together,

and I became excited listening to Saki and Momo talk about the coming-of-age ceremonies in their home towns

They also showed me the pictures of them wearing their furisode, and that also made me excited

Both of them were cute,
and their smiles with their schools friends were really impressive…

Mano-chan told me about her’s also

Though Mano-chan also wrote about it on her blog, she couldn’t attend the coming-of-age ceremony, but it seems she could participate in the class reunion

She talked about reuniting with her friends she hadn’t seen in 5 years

It’s nice
That I can talk with those 3 like this
I’m really happy…

In addition, ℃-ute’s members texted me on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony too,

and they said “Congrats“, and asked me “How was it“, so I was happy…

(1) Today’s picture is of the coming-of-age ceremony present Nacky gave me

Really, thanks everyone

It’s aroma goods,
and I’m looking forward to using it(*^^*)

And then,
the concert flew by in the blink of an eye I saw a lot of everyone’s smiles

But, Berryz Koubou’s Sugaya Risako-chan came down with the flu,

so unfortunately we couldn’t stand on the stage together

Risako, I wonder if you’re alright…

I want her to get a lot of rest, and when she becomes better,
next time for sure,

I want to stand together on stage with all of the members of Hello! Project

Everyone, take whatever precautions you can,
and so you don’t have any painful experiences, please be careful

Now, here are today’s pictures

I’m sorry I’m soaked with sweat(;´д｀)

Alright Tomorrow I’ll have fun too

Well then, I’ll prepare for tomorrow, take a bath, and then go to sleep

p.s.
Everyone who took their entrance exams today,
good work today

I hope there is a wonderful result waiting for you…
