Haribo~~~~~~
I have a photoshoot~ but....

Look, look~~~


Fortune-telling by Haribo

The Haribo winegums I love so much can tell your future~~~
You pick five winegums with your eyes closed, and the colours of those winegums predict your future

My result was
You'll get an idea and seize an opportunity

You should try it if you can
It's fun

First Time(o>ω
I had a bit of time to spare between the evening photoshoot and the next job assignment, so after the photoshoot I went out for dinner with Sayashi and [her/my/our?] manager...


It's the first time I've been out to eat with Sayashi like this

We had Korean food...

Sayashi is so skinny and tiny, yet she eats and eats!!!!!!!!!!!!

In addition to all the food, she also slurped down two drinks, she had a coke and an orange juice

She's still a growing child Somehow looking at Sayashi eating to her heart's content made me feel... happy


She ate all of her dessert too

Strawberry ice cream

It was delicious

It was a good meal

Original post

After Dinner...
It looks like Sayashi wants an iPhone now

She asked me 'Can I play with your iPhone game applications' and then...


Sayashi doing her best playing
Taiko no tatsujin
It made her disappear off into her own little world

My first dinner with Sayashi

The food was delicious, and I had a great time

Let's do it again sometime

I don't like milk, so Fuku-chan is a good kid for happily drinking it

Growing up healthy and carefree

* She might actually mean to say that she's lactose intolerant / allergic to milk, but I was unsure, so toned it down somewhat. 苦手 can mean to dislike something as well.

This made (Mama) happy as well

I've depended on my parents time and time again, and Mama might spoil me a little, but I'm really happy that Mama is my mother

It's impossible for me to express my gratitude towards Mama, it's awkward doing so in words, but...

Mama, thank you for everything you do for me

I laughed a lot ♪(´ε｀ )

I think everyone's personalities came out on the show today☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

And then, in an e-mail there was a question asking the th gen members: 'You've gone from calling Ai-chan Takahashi to Ai-chan, but what about the other members? What do you call them?'
So we talked about this, now they all call me Niigaki-san, but they took advantage of today's ustream and...

it seems like the th gen members call me Gaki-san now
It's kind of embarrassing..
but it also makes me happy

I'm looking forward to next week's Ustreamusume I'll do my best

Look at Suzuki in that picture.....

[kawaii beam]

i watched the usturem like an hr ago and it was seriously fun to watch expessially when the girls were saying "gaki-san" fuku-chan was so emberassed and shy  while eripon said it like so wierd then of course riho said it cute/shyly, while zukki stole the show and just yelled it out loud like "GAKI-SAN~!" causing them all to laugh and risa to say "NANI~~?" back in that manner XDD it was really cute to see her interact with them like that

[shirenuファクトリー]

Risa hosting ustream reminds me of Nacchi hosting Hello Morning ^o^ She is so pro now, warm and funny and keeps everything under control :3

[Slack]

Now that you mention it, she is just about the same age Nacchi was when she graduated and took over the Hello! Morning hosting duties from Kei.
She's always been good at MCing but now she's a complete pro at it.
I guess that's why I always thought of her as kind of a Yaguchi type personality, but I've been seeing some of the same things as you more recently too.

Only thing is that all the younger members said that Nacchi was the most intimidating in the group, which I've never seen in Risa.

[twissie]

Shit, I was all caught up and then the forum went down..... ;___; Ooookay, going to take this nice and slow!

How the Afro Got Made...

A Play Featuring Socks And Roaring Laughter
Yesterday when the UstreaMusume was over, Suzuki all of a sudden....


(ahahaha)

Started howling with laughter while only wearing one sock....

Everyone just stared at her, completely dumbfounded.

And she just didn't stop....

(Catch)

She started stretching the sock in her hands...

and twirled it around a bit...

in any case, she seemed very pleased.....

and then, lastly...


(Miracle)
she screamed out "MIRACLEEEE".....

I asked her what happened, and...
It seems that while she was trying to put on her socks, one of them flew out of her hands, but she skillfully and miraculously caught it....

and that's where this happiness came from....

Suzuki, you're....

one HAPPY fool.... *laughs*
