Hello
It's really cold out today

The weather is nice, isn't it?

All of a sudden.....
(Mama)'s mobile phone broke

It won't start up at all.....
Not even a single response.....

No good

Kame
I met Kame the other day

It was the same energetic Kamehakame as always

We had nabe

We talked about various things
Of course we used to talk about various things back when we were in the same group, but after Kame graduated we're both in different places working on different things... so we talked a bit about the whole being apart thing...

Still, we really laughed a lot, like usual
It's really a lot of fun~
Spending time with Kame

We talked about how we wanted to hang out at Sayumin's place the next time we meet up, just like how we used to~~~~, so yosh
We decided
that that's what we have to do the next time we meet up

↑
Hey you guys.... please get Sayumin's approval first....

... yeah I guess it feels kind of weird deciding without her

Sayumiiiin

It's okay, right~~~

Just a heads up, I'm leaving for a short vacation tomorrow. Translations will commence on Sunday or Monday!

[rndmnwierd]

Have fun!

[strawb3rrykream]

Hope you have a good vacation, twissie!!

Awww, no pics of Eri, huh? Damn Yes, Risa...I think it's a good idea if you and Eri ask Sayu first before you show up at her house, ready to sleep over.

[twissie]

Back to catching up!

UstreaMusume.
Preparing for the second broadcast

There are things we aren't quite used to yet, so parts of the show might not make for great viewing, but we're doing our best, so please support us

Risa..

Original post

Hehehe.
The mail addresses and hashtags that appear on the show

are written by me

This time we were introduced to the 9th gen members' special skills


Here's Suzuki practicing very hard on the flute before the show

She played Maji desu ka ska on the flute for us on the show

She did great, don't you agree?

A Fast Mobile Phone Typer?!!
PracticingPracticing

Ikuta

showed us her special skill, which is to type fast on a mobile phone........................................

HOWEVER!!!

As expected from KY-Ikuta....
She KY'd here as well

While showing off her special skill...
she lost in a competition against Suzuki.......

It was just hilarious

So awesome

As for Ikuta... I hope she'll become a KY-character beloved by one and all

Risa..

Original post
* KY - Risa's used this description of Ikuta before, it's slang which basically is used to describe a person who is completely unable to read his/her surroundings... like, they lack that certain extra social finesse ;;; Nawww.

Omeletteeeee~~~~~
The thing Fuku presented was.......
a sweet and delicious
omelette

Jan

derp there's nothing left~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a pretty, yellow, sweet and delicious omelette....

I didn't take a picture before we ate it
and then afterwards it wasn't pretty to look at anymore

But it was really, really delicious

When answering Suzuki's request, Fuku-chan said she'd make eggs fried sunny side up for us next

I'm looking forward to it, looking forward to it

Risa..

Original post

Calligraphy
Sayashi showed us her calligraphy skills

She wrote Niigaki-san on the show......

but after the show....

Jajan!!!

She wrote my full name and gave it to me as a gift

It made me really happy, so touched~~~

Thank you~~~
I'll treasure it

Hey everyone

This morning when I woke up and went into the living room...




Grandma  was eagerly reading Hello! Channel

It made my happy somehow....

Grandma told me "Seeing Risa in concert or on TV and such are all things I look forward to, I live for those moments now.".....

Hearing that, I think I have to step up and work even harder...

Gaki: Oooooi!
(Preparing the camera mode on Gaki-phone)

Ai: Hmmm~~~?
(Camera mode on, moving in closer)

Gaki: Hey, hey~~~!

Ai: Hmmm~~~?
(pointing the camera downwards so that she wouldn't notice it, even though I could have pointed the camera at her)

Gaki: Look this way~!!!
(ah, oh no, I said it...)

Ai: Nooo~~~ *laughs*

Gaki: Quickly~~~!!!

Ai: Noooo~~ *laughs*

I stumbled over my words a lot today
Even though I did speech gymnastics

We did a variety of things on the show today, like art blogging, giving a dance course, doing a quiz, presenting goods and more...

The 9th gen members' innocence really shows when we play games and the like, they're so amusing and energetic

I want to make this show with input from all of you guys, so if you have ideas for things you want us to try, or games you want us to play, then please send them my way

"Only You"
Morning Musume's

46th NEW single

Only You

will be out for sale June 15

The big theme for this song is the feeling that you are not alone. With the current events in Japan... we sang with feelings of it being a song to cheer us on...

In order for us to make people a little bit happier just by hearing our songs...
it has to start with us, singing with smiles on our faces(*> U <*)

We've also made a music video



The dressing room was



filled with smiles



Working hard to make this a song a lot of people will like...

Tanakachi's & Ikuta's home area

Did a concert in Fukuokaaaa

Iyaaa iyaaa

It was so hot, like this is probably the first time I've sweated like this since the start of this tour

I usually leave my hair down for concerts
but I had to put it up in a bun today
That's how hot it was

And then I took pictures with the two members who come from Fukuoka prefecture

Refreshments from Tanakacchi & Ikuta
I wasn't able to take pictures of all of it, but it was really delicious

Jan

From Tanakacchi

The round stuff is ice cream and the triangle is chocolate cake with japanese chestnuts
This was just perfect for me who absolutely loooooove chocolate flavoured things

And then~~
This is something new

The thing I'm holding up is...

Tomato daifuku

At first I thought "Whaaaaat~~~ Really~~~~~"

then when I took one bite....

"Whaaaa, what is thiiiiiiiiiiiis it's deliciousssssssssss"

The acidity of the tomato blends with the sweetness of the cake, and it was just really delicious

Can't believe I've gone 22 years without knowing about this

Thank you so much for all the tasty treats
