Taking pictures with Linlin(￣▽￣)b

Linlin, who loves anime, had fun at the Japan Expo booths this year as well (￣▽￣)b

Ah..!!

I've discovered two people eating candy!!!

Tanaka-chi and Mittsui~~~☆☆
It's impossible to separate them from this candy stand (*laughs*)
Aww, so cute (o^－^o)

Lunch.
S-tou took these pictures(￣▽￣)b

Everyone gathered around one table...(o^－^o)

Food food( ´∀`)/~~

FU━━━━━！！！！！
The concert rehearsal starts now♪(￣▽￣)ノ″


I'm looking forward to it☆☆
I really, really can't wait━━━━！！！

Original post

I love the way she decorates her pictures ^_^ though I wish she could make all her picture large, like this last one here. Or preferably even larger

I also think I have to agree with shurastriker. Risa definitely suits longer hair the most.

[twissie]

Risa has gone into postwhoring mode! xD Again skipping posts that simply say "Good morning!" and "Good night!" and such~ .... ugh I'd translated three of these when my browser decided to crash @_@ second time's the charm? I apologise in advance for any typos that might have snuck in here~

It's time━━━━━！！！！

My heart is racing!!!! Here I go!!!!!

I can't wait━━━━━！！！！
Whaaaa━━━━━！！！！

Risa..

Original post

Concert FU━━━━━！！！！


It was so, so, so━━━━━ much fun♪(￣▽￣)ノ″

I was so moved
I really, really was...

Going back to ourselves after the show, the whole thing just seemed like a dream...

So there are people who like us this much in France...
Tears came to my eyes when I realised that people connect through song even across country borders...

I also feel grateful for the fans who came all the way to France from Japan just to see us.

The energy I felt from everyone today will become my strength to continue to work hard and do my best.

Thank you so much!

Merci!!

Here's a picture of Ai-chan, Linlin and me as we're talking about how fun the concert was, and how moved we were♪(￣▽￣)ノ″


I had no idea where my body was going during the big finale━━(^^ゞ

Linlin...

Went looking for food straight after the concert was over.(^o^;)
She was hungry..(^_^)

Oh, and yeah!!!
Nakazawa was with us today, but...
I wasn't able to get any pictures( ｐ_ｑ)

Nakazawa looked at me all through the rehearsal...
I always feel loved by her..☆☆

Thank you so much, Nakazawa m(__)m

Risa..

Original post

Everyone gathered for a "job well done"-meal


But everyone's really tired, so we were all nodding off on the way there... (-.-)Zzz.....
It's because we sang so much, danced so much, and had so much fun☆☆

Good night, I'll see you again tomorrow(*^^*)

It was so hot, enthusiastic, and filled with love. I think I want to report on different sections of the concertＯ(≧∇≦)Ｏ !!
It was so pretty with lots of glow-sticks~~~☆☆☆

And everyone joined in on the singing...
it made me so happy...

We had to do our best so that people will say that they want us to come back to France again!!

It was such a wonderful time, thank you so much

This morning~(*´∇｀*)

It's raining here and it's cold━━━━( ´△｀)
Where did the heat from yesterday go━━━━???(~_~)

so I went to steal a hug from Junjun☆☆

so warm~~~( ´∀`)/~~

And then a Linlin hug too~~~~~~ (*≧m≦*)

But Linlin went and did a peace-sign( 」´０｀)」 heeey

Now we're off to the signing session━━━☆☆☆

Risa..

Original post

お疲れーtwiss! Haha. Wow, that last post is just pure gold

[twissie]

☆☆Signing session finished☆☆
We went to the Morning Musume booth at Japan Expo(o^－^o)

There were so many people there☆☆☆

It was so much fun!
Linlin was so excited, so got kind of noisy, and so she got her arm pulled by one of the security guards(￣▽￣;)

Aah, it was a blast☆☆


Risa..

Original post

☆The Louvre☆

Excited☆Excited☆Excited☆

Whaa, you have no idea!!!
It was really, really awesome!!

There were so many people, so we split into groups☆
I was in this group of four, but the place was so crowded I lost sight of them countless times (￣▽￣;)
It was almost always Linlin who disappeared...(*laughs*)

The museum really gave me goosebumps!!!
Mum loves this kind of stuff, and I hope with all my heart that I can show it to her someday...
It's decided!!!! I absolutely have to take mum to France some time!!!!

I'll work hard━━━━!!!

Risa..

Original post

Omg I would have freaked the fuck out if I bumped into Morning Musume at the Louvre @____@ *dies a little*. I visited Louvre when I was in Paris last summer, and I could have spent several days going through there. It's so huge, and with tons of stuff to see! I wonder what kind of art Risa likes best... wonder if she found a favourite piece ^_^

[Mugen]

she looks great with the long hair again 

[kuro808]

Linlin getting her arm pulled by security

[Tuffty]

I love Risa's postwhoring

[JFC]

I love Risa's postwhoring

It's like she's a H!Pstah at heart.

[Swtme03]

OH MY FUCKING GAWD!!!! 
I've missed out on so much!!! 
I need some time to take it all in... 

[twissie]

^
Lol, here are three more Risa posts for you to catch up on xD Sorry about all this spamming~ Hopefully (?) her posting will calm down somewhat when she gets back to Japan I swear she didn't post this much when I first started reading her blog. Typical .... But I guess the postwhoring is due to the fact that she's in Paris, and she's having the time of her life.

We went to a French cafe~

Hmm....
It's a completely ordinary cafe, but it's this stylish!


Risa..

Original post

Went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner(^_^)b

It was so delicious☆☆
Hmm, it's true that Japanese food is kind of relaxing ( ´∀`)/~~
But French food is so good it's like I could live here☆☆

Risa..

Original post

☆☆☆The Eiffel Tower☆☆☆
It's the real Eiffel Tower━━━━━━━( ´∀`)/~~


Aaaaawesome☆

It's the real thing~~~~Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ!!

Us in front of the Eiffel Tower, yay☆☆☆☆

I like the Eiffel Tower so much, I even have accessories shaped like it... (*´∇｀*)
So it was deeply touching to be able to see it in person(￣∇+￣)ｖ

Risa..

Original post

Awwwww! I'm so happy they got to do some sightseeing and such

[kuro808]

I have nothing but good memories from this trip

Thank you so much...

[kuro808]

PW mode should be like everyday for her maybe its the amount of free time they have

[twissie]

She's back home, and has gone back to mostly using animated emoticons. Those are a bitch to copy over and stuff, so I'll leave them out of my translations xD;

I'm back(*´∇｀*）
I have returned

I was already missing Japan...

Anyway, I'm back♪

Risa..

Bonsoir

I slept for a long time and handed out souvenirs to my family

I also bought wine and cheese for papa-chan and mama-chan
They were really happy

Being home is really nice~

Sorry, I'm a bit jet-lagged

I'll see you again tomorrow
Good night~

THIS IS MY 900th POST YOU GUYS Dedicating it to Gakisan who got me back into the world of MoMusu (though I've yet to listen to any of their new albums <,<;;; ). Heeeeee ^____________^

[Tuffty]

Congrats Twissie! And thanks for all these translations btw! I certainly appreciate listening to Risa's ramblings

[strawb3rrykream]

Loving all the translations, twissie~~ *steals all the pics*
I missed long-hair Gaki! But...it looks kinda weird, since the extensions aren't as thick as her real hair.

[twissie]

I'm really happy to hear that the translations are appreciated! I was kind of nervous about doing it because I have no confidence in my own language studies . I also didn't know if her posts were translated somewhere else or whatever... though I really do appreciate the practice I get from this xD ANYWAY. Man, these girls work hard.

Sorry, sorry, sorry everyone～～～～～～(*´∇｀*)

I've been busy since this morning...
and then I went to the rehearsal...

They all look pretty exhausted to me xD And Risa's writing makes her seem really out of it

[twissie]

Tanabata is today☆☆

Have you written down your wishes yet?
I..... have!

But what I wrote is a secret~
You should try to look up at the stars tonight and make a wish..
