The Niigaki Risa Thread (新垣里沙) [+110 pages]

[twissie]

Yesterday was opening day of the concert. I was really nervous, but still there was energy and cheers like can only be experienced at an opening show.

I got goosebumps from listening to the cheers!

Being able to stir up energy from the fans while singing with other members, that's what makes these Hello Project concerts special♪

I didn't share much of my impressions yesterday, so I'm writing them down now.

I'll work hard today as well!!

Momoko...
I saw Momoko in front of the dressingroom, so here's a "Momoko, let's take a picture~" snapshot

Yup..... We definitely took a picture.
We took this picture, but...

When seeing the picture....
Momoko turned to the manager and said....

Momoko: Can you take one more~~~~~?

Gaki: Eeh~ We have to get to rehearsal now. You look adorable in this picture Momoko, surely it's fine!!!

Momoko: (Takes my phone and hands it to the manager....) Please~~~~~

Manager: (Looks at me with a "what can I do?"-expression, and snaps a picture)


(ノ-_-)ノ~┻━┻

It looks exactly the same

(ノ-_-)ノ~┻━┻

It's rare that I flip two tables.
Really. Yes..

Momoko-san saw this last picture, made a satisfied expression and walked away with her little finger raised

Chanchan.....

Thank you for all the strength you give me

Tasa(￣∇+￣)
I'm going to post the pictures I took yesterday during the concert, but were unable to present then

The shy me… even though nervous, went and tried to talk with my junior members..

First up~ Miyabi-chan

Her hair colour is bright, don't you think~~~?

The adult-like Miyabi-chan
So cute

A snapshot with two tall and leggy girls

Kuma-san has really long legs, and she's so cool…
I always think "Aah that's great~ share some of that height with me" when looking at her

I'm in the unit ＺＹＸー＠ with Maasa. There's this special atmosphere and it seems I'm always drawn in by the power of her eyes

Risa..

PosaΣ(￣◇￣*)
Yes…
and the series continues on with Okai-chan…
Why am I making that expression in the photo? Well…

This is taken in the massage room. There's a really nice sofa in there, so I sat down there to check my blog…

While sitting there I heard a nagging voice going "Aaaaahhahaha~ ah~ it hurts it hurts~~~~~"……..

Okai-chan hadn't noticed me sitting there, so she was being very noisy. I started laughing, and what she said when realising I was there was...

"Ah… I'm so very sorry~"

(￣▽￣;)

Okai-chan turns to apologies quickly (*laughs*)

Airi-chan

To Airi-chan…

Gaki: Let's take a picture~~~~~

Airi-chan: Hehehe~ When we were in B-kei together my theme colour used to be yellow-green~~~~~ We've got something in common~ hehehe~~

Gaki. inner voice: Aww isn't she adorable~

We don't have many opportunities to be on stage together, so it's fun to catch up like this

But….
My heart races when I talk….
I wonder if I'll be able to do anything about this shyness of mine~~(￣▽￣;)

Risa..

Original post

I had no clue Risa was all shy and nervous about talking with others. JUST LIKE ME~~~ xD;;;; Awwwwww.

[Slack]

(ノ-_-)ノ~┻━┻
Gaki flippin' tables. She's like the new Ganko Ittetsu!
"Bakayarou!"

I guess Ai-chan is the new Tomomi.
Who's the new Hitotsuji and Futatsuji?

[twissie]

Kamakura.. ☆
Today, when talking with Mama-chan and her friends, we decided "Let's go to Kamakura for soba~"
So we took a walk and went to Kamakura

It's been a nice quiet day..

It's so hot out~~~!!!!!!
I walked a lot~~~~


We also went to Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū shrine
Visiting the shrine..


This railway was used by sake-vendors a long time ago to transport their goods around…
It's in the middle of town, but it's still here today!!!!
That gives me goosebumps!!
I love things like this

Risa..

Original post

☆Kamakura Karari☆
After visiting the shrine…☆☆☆
We went to a soba place
Soba is even more delicious after having walked around in the heat
A toast with Mama's beer

The soba
was incredibly good
A harmony of crunchy tempura and firm soba noodles

It was really delicious
The staff there were really wonderful too, smiling all the time and making you feel at home

If you get the chance to go to Kamakura, then of course, check this place out
The name of the restaurant is "Kamakura Karari (鎌倉からり)"

I had a good meal

Risa..

[strawb3rrykream]

It's funny and cute to think of Risa being shy around her kouhai~ But I can understand why she'd be shy around Maasa and Yurina...freakin giants. I'm sure everyone respects her though, so they'd be more than happy to take a picture with her and talk to her~

Ohhh~ Kamakura is pretty~ Lots of temples and shrines and stuff. Risa's such a good daughter, always going out with Mama-chan. The food looks delicious.

[kawaii beam]

well risa has said before that when she meets new ppl or hangs out with ppl she dosnet talk too much she gets shy...i just dont remember where i saw it ^^;

and she is a good daughter~ hanging with mama and her friend~

[kuro808]

She takes pictures with everyone......

[differentstory12]

^ Yeah =D and hopefully, since Yossy is the MC for the H!P concert, I really really really want Gaki to take a pic with Yossy soon  Please Gakiiiiiiiiiii .

Aw looks like Gaki and her mom had fun at Kamakura! The Momo picture incident is funny. I personally liked the first one first Even though they look the same lol.

Kuma-san has really long legs, and she's so cool…
I always think "Aah that's great~ share some of that height with me" when looking at her

"Share some of that height with me" lol. Gaki is tiny next to them but she looks so cute.

I just had to quote this picture cause she looks so adorable!!!

A TURTLE━━━━━━
Isn't it adorable?
The turtle is floating

When I saw it I couldn't help but think "pictures, have to take pictures", and then when looking at it Kamei Eri sprang to mind

Good luck, turtle

Risa..

Original post

Kame = turtle.. 8D though I guess most people know that. Yush.

[kawaii beam]

Opachipaopao

Hello~

So, you guys.. are you excited~?

The world is on summer vacation

When it comes to summer vacation…
observing loofas is a typical summer activity, don't you think~
I often went to do that with my dad…

I also studied freely on my own
It was so much fun

What are your typical summer vacation activities?

Risa..

Original post

You all had different ideas about what a typical summer vacation is like
You mentioned things like, not only study of loofas, but studying Japanese morning glories…

club activities….
fireworks, going to the pool, radio exercises, reading thick books, and so on and so fort, but….

there were also people who mentioned things like Morning Musume concerts
and Morning Musume handshake events!! and this year's th gen handshake event…..


…..

Being told such things makes me happy~
I'm so thankful…

Let's make this year's summer hot, fun and filled with laughter

It's HOT out today too~~~~
Remember to drink lots, and take breaks so you won't get dizzy

Though I've got so much work that I can't really say I am on summer vacation…
And I have a ton of homework…

There are probably different opinions out there, but I think that people who work hard won't get hurt!!!!
I continue on believing that, even though it's painful now, if I just do my best it'll make things easier the next time…
That is my opinion.

I'll be happy if I make a few people now lightheartedly go "Yosh maybe I should go do my best/work hard "

Well☆
Lastly…

Remember to drink a lot in this heat now, okay?

ah~ she's so cute and sweet~ X3  and her mama mode is in full swing lol

and her nails are SO CUTE!!!!! i wish i could go to that handshake 

[strawb3rrykream]

Awww, the whole thing about summer vacation was so cute! And I agree with her that being busy prevents sickness, at least it does for my family. BTW, I don't want to sound totally stupid but what is "studying loofas"? I know what a loofa is...but it doesn't seem that interesting to study. lol

Her nails are so bright! Just like her smile~

[Sukoshi]

Thanks for the awesomeness twissie!   

lol studying loofahs...I guess she spent her summer keeping track of plant growth or maybe just looking at them

[strawb3rrykream]

^
I guess tracking the plant growth would make sense.

[twissie]

BTW, I don't want to sound totally stupid but what is "studying loofas"? I know what a loofa is...but it doesn't seem that interesting to study. lol

That's not stupid at all, I also went "... wtf, this can't be what she's saying D:" when I came to that part, but a quick google search reveals that... yeah. This is a popular summer activity in Japan xD;;; aaaah. I guess they keep track of their growth and such yeah, but the word she's using actually means "research" xD;;;

Bu.... Bu-chan....

Yay

Risa..

Iiiiiiiiih~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The handshake event is over~~~~~~~~~

It's.... over~~~~~~~

Hey Hey
This was.. You know what?

This was the best It's almost as though I feel previous events haven't been as fun as this one━━━━
I was able to spend more time than usual just talking to people, and everything was wrapped in a really warm and friendly "at home" atmosphere.....

It gave me strength

Today is a regular weekday, but people still gave their all to come see me even though they must have school or work to go to...

It's enough to make me cry

To everyone who came
Thank you so so so so so━━━━━━━━━━━━ much

I'll use the strength you all gave me to continue to work hard

Really, I feel that how ever many "Thank you"s I say, it won't be enough~~~~~~

Thank you

☆Osaka is the best☆
After the handshake event...

I went out and had Korean food with the staff members
It was so delicious and while enjoying the spicy food....

Taki-san: Niigaki, usually when going to Osaka you don't get to go sightseeing, do you? Would you like to go to Doutonbori?

Gaki: Whaaa~~~~I want to goYes I want to go

So....

Yay

Fu~

CrabCrab

We also went to Houzenji...

Aah~~~ It made me so happy...
Today has just been filled with fun things

It's really been a great day

Let's make tomorrow a wonderful day too

Good night
