Once again、 it’s nice too see all of you after so long。

Inaba Manaka here。

 
About a year and a half has passed since I graduated from Country Girls。。

Are all of you doing well…？

After my graduation、 I spent the time receiving medical attention for my asthma at my family’s place in my hometown of Hokkaido。

It’s difficult to fully recover from asthma、 but thanks to the treatment, the frequency of my asthma attacks has lessened and I’ve recovered enough that I virtually won’t get any serious attacks、 and I’m able to spend the days feeling well。

Reading the comments I received from all of you while I was undergoing treatment was a source of encouragement for me。

Thank you very much。

And、 I am truly sorry for causing concern。

 
In line with my physical recovery、 I entered discussions concerning my future with the office about half a year ago、 and now、 I will work hard in my leader-like role for the H!P Kenshuusei Hokkaido、 advising them while standing on-stage with them、 and doing my own Hokkaido-centred activities。

At the time of my restart、 I was full of worries、 because I didn’t want to be a burden once again to the members and staff of Hello！ Project、 due to my health and my １ year of absence…

However、 as I was undergoing medical care、 I realised that I love to dance and perform on-stage and express myself。

And more than anything、 I wanted to meet the fans who had been waiting for me！ I want to have activities so that I can repay the favour！
I honestly feel that these thoughts surpass those many worries I had。

 
And、 I’m grateful to say that
Without delay, I, Inaba Manaka, will be appearing
Here☞ http://www.up-fc.jp/helloproject/news_Info.php?id=10875
18 Sept （Mon・Holiday）「H!P Kenshuusei Hokkaido Teigi Kouen Vol.4」！

We’ve already started with lessons、 and the H!P Kenshuusei Hokkaido girls are always adorable♡

I’d like to work hard with the things that I’ve learnt and the experiences I’ve had so far as a H!P Kenshuusei and a member of Country Girls、 and pour as much as possible of it onto them、 with as much strength as I can give。

I definitely want you to come and see the cuteness and growth of H!P Kenshuusei Hokkaido、 and I’d be glad if you come and see me too！

 
If I have any other activities scheduled in the future、 I’ll update you on this blog、 「Manakan memories」。

I hope to share a lot of my daily life with you too (❁´ㅅ`❁)

I ask for your care from now on as well。

 
Being able to announce the resumption of my activities to all of you yesterday and being able to update this blog today、 I feel like I’m dreaming。。

 
I am truly grateful to all of the supportive fans、 the members of Hello！ Project、 the members of staff、 family、 friends、 and everyone who has supported me。

 
Inaba Manaka

Finally some video of her comeback performance! I was hoping to see a bit more solo dancing, but still great to see her back in action!

congrats to Manakan on joining Naval Special Forces group Juice=Juice!

All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi...


...but instead we're getting a full serving of Juice!


My initial impression is that I have mixed feelings. J=J already feels like a complete group, and I'm still worried about Manaka's asthma problems restricting her...plus I kinda would rather see her continue doing her own thing or forming that potential dance duo with a returning Riho. also the inevitable fandom complaints regarding the status of Country Girls

But we all know how awesome she is on stage, so in the end I do think we have some excitement to look forward to! Gonna wait and see how this turns out...above all else I hope she can stay happy and healthy!
