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

[twissie]

Do it! I'm thinking about sending a fan letter/package thing eventually. Probably more towards the end of the summer, I need to plan.

Where would I send it? Is there an official address you can send fan-letters to? I feel I should know these things, but I've got no idea

[strawb3rrykream]

This is what was written in the resource thread:
〒106-8770
東京都麻布郵便局留 アップフロントFC部 ○○○係
JAPAN

or

xxxxxx
Upfront Agency Fanclub, Azabu Post Office
Tokyo 106-8770
JAPAN

I also have this from somewhere else but it's more or less the same thing:
〒106-8770
　東京都麻布郵便局留 アップフロント
“Hello！Project” [girl's name]様宛

[Meania]

Thankyou  ; w ;

I've always wanted to write to idols or bands... just, I feel like I should be writing in Japanese, to some sort of simple degree atleast ; 3; so I put it off until I can learn better ; 3 ;
Maybe now I know adresses it'll drive me to work harder = w =

Risa wrote another Disneyland post! (still about the same visit she did with Linlin and mama (whom I'm pretty sure is her mum, actually ).

One thing you absolutely shouldn't miss at Disney during the summer is..

Ice lollies!

Orange flavoured ice lollies in the shape of Mickey

And mama-chan had an apple flavoured Minnie lolly

I really like this one too. It's light in flavour, so it's easy to eat, which is a must during hot summers

If they have it, we Niigakis eat these ice lollies on cold days as well
↑
You really, really like them, huh?

Risa.

^ apple ice pops FTW

[strawb3rrykream]

Oh damn, that apple popsicle looks hella good!!! And Risa mama's nails...kinda hot.

[twissie]

btw if people are interested I could semi-regularly translate Risa's blog posts. *interest check*

[kuro808]

^ sure

[strawb3rrykream]

Heck yes, twissie! I take you up on your offer!

[Mayo]

I love it that she calls her Mama Mama-chan. hehe

[twissie]

Risa wrote two really sweet posts about their co-workers on Fashionable! So here's my shot at translating them. I try to make the translations as natural-sounding as I can, but lol. Aaaand my Japanese is far from fluent, so if you find any glaring mistakes feel free to correct them

Dearest Fashionable...
I still have some pictures that I wasn't able to present before...

First up-
Noriko..

I hadn't had the opportunity of talking with her before working together on this play, so every time I met her it would be like... only a greeting.
But she's such a wonderfully lovely person.
You'll learn various things just by having regular conversations with her. Noriko is a senpai whom I respect and love dearly.

next up, scriptwriter Bunbun.

Bunbun really likes Morning Musume.
She says things like "Morning Musume are awesome". It makes me extremely happy that people such as her, doing the job that she does, really like us and show it...
I felt so much love from Bunbun

Risa..

And now~ Tatsumi
Tatsumi is a dandy (lol, her words, not mine! ), and cool and he supported us always.
When I first met Tatsumi I though "hmm he's kind of scary?", but that was absolutely not the case. On the contrary, he was extremely sweet and took good care of us.


Lastly...


Ken.
When I first met Ken I never thought I'd talk to him or become such good friends with him. But the more we talked the more we got to know each other. Ken has a lot of affection. There was a risk that he'd only be able to see a few of the performances, but even so, he rushed on over after his other job, and after every performance he gave us lots of advice like "In today's performance this and this was really good!" and "This person needs to work a bit more on this and this to become even more lovely!"...

I feel so happy to have been in this show, to have met Ken and made this show with him.

And that's what it was like... I think this will have to suffice.

Oh, and by the way...
I'm changing the topic here, but I was reading some comments I'd received on an earlier post...
and there was a question there that went:
"Gaki-san, do you like your noodles firm or soft?"

I need to have my noodles firm!
Firm noodles, and firm rice as well!

How do you guys like your noodles?

Risa.

... and yes I do have a lot of spare time these days, why do you ask? Haha.

It's 8PM, but it's still this bright out..

The city is very cute, and I'm excitedly taking pictures(￣▽￣)b

All the buildings here look like taken out of a movie scene



Risa..

Original post

... the whole "BIG REVEAL"-thing, refers to a post she did a couple of days ago. She was at the beauty salon and was all "heee, I'll show you the result later! ".

Love that the long hair is back~ Heeee Though her short hair was really cute as well.

And omg, omg, omg, Risa gets 10000000 points from me for being super excited about having fans come meet them at the airport! Awesome~! 

[twissie]

Aaaand she managed to upload yet another post while I was translating the other ones, lololol. Excuse the spamming!

On our way out for an evening meal now(￣‐￣=)b

French food is so delicious!


The bread too ☆ And deliciously aromatic!!


Everyone together, yay!


Such a fun meal pi pa(￣▽￣)b

Risa..

Original post

.... why do I have this feeling that she'll do even more posts today?

She seems so hyper Probably a bit jet-lagged. I know I would be! And yeeeah. Those extensions look awesome on her

[kuro808]

^ I guess she has ended her short hair period and probably will stick to it

Reina in sunglasses

Muhmuhmuh, getting increasingly annoyed that I couldn't go to Paris/didn't know about it until it was too late to plan anything ;; Wha. It certainly seems like the girls are having a blast~
Have to love those outfits. Risa's excited way of being is catchy! xD

[twissie]

Sushi for lunch~~~


I'm sure you're thinking "you're in France... and you have sushi?"
We had bread last night and this morning, so... we missed having rice(^o^;)
So we had something with rice for lunch
It was delicious m(__)m
