Blog: Hayashi Runa (October 31st)

Thank you all so much for your hard work! Otsukaresama desu, It's Hayashi Runa. And it's Halloween!

Thank you so much for「Mai Shiraishi Graduation Concert ~Always beside you~」

Shiraishi Mai-san.

Congratulations for your graduation.

To start with, I really love how 白石麻衣's name is written,

of course everyone has really wonderful names but,

How I came to know about Nogizaka46

The reason why I fell in love with Nogizaka46

Whenever I recommended Nogizaka46 to my friends

I felt like 'Shiraishi Mai' was there in every situation,

and it's not simply because I've been seeing her a lot of times or something, but for some reason, I feel better with 'Shiraishi Mai-san' rather than just 'Shiraishi-san'.

Also

the way she goes beyond the boundaries of an idol

the way her beauty keeps getting better and better

the way she shows us her loving, intimate charm

I didn't have a lot of time to spend with her

but in the short time we were able to be together

I felt that all of these things touched the viewers hearts

and gave them hope to live, gave them love.

It was the first time I worked with my seniors at a live.

From the rehearsal I was already so nervous to be with them that I became the 'nervousness' itself.

Before the Genepro started,         (final, official rehearsal)

When I was alone with Nao, I passed by Shiraishi Mai-san and I asked her, 

「Can I make eye contact with you at the singing part that we'll be sharing?」

then she kindly answered,

「Of course! Let's do it later!」

My heart exceeded the maximum permissible level of love and I was flooded with it.

After the concert was over, she said to all the members,

「I'm looking forward to Nogizaka's future and I'm sure it will grow even more and more.」

I strongly hope that's the case.

I'll do my best to devote as much effort as I can to Nogizaka46, which made me grow up so much from my small self.

Shiraishi Mai-san.

It's been about 9 years, 3,357 days.

Thank you so much for your hard work.

I always have and always will love you very much.

And I'll treasure all those quick photos that you took for me.

"Thanks for all the memories."

Thanks for your hard work today as well.

I'm Hayashi Runa, a 4th generation member of Nogizaka46.

17 years old, second year HS student from Kanagawa Prefecture

It's Hayashi Runa, the blooming seven's teen.

Don't lose, don't lose heart, Hayashi Runa! Today is another day of hard work!
(makeruna, shogeruna, Hayashi Runa! kyou mo ichinichi ganbaruna!)

(pin-pon)

This is my 38th round of the blog relay.

This is the first time I've had the opportunity to perform with my seniors, so I gained a lot of memories.

But I feel it's a waste to talk about everything here, so I'd like to talk about it slowly.

I also took a lot of pictures and I'll post them later.

I borrowed Kuromi-chan's phone to take them.

The quality is good, isn't?

I asked them to sign and write a message on these.

Last year, I had Matsumura-san's photo in my notebook, but this year, I'm going to put both of these in it.

I've been wanting to talk with Riria-san for a long time!

I was so glad!

I'll tell you the story later!

.............................................................................................

A witty grandma sent me this, thinking it would be good material for the blog.

I wasn't sure if I should take a picture with him but since this is the only day of the year when he can be the star, I put him in a solo shot.

I thought I should paint the face, so I did.

Pumpkin-chan.

...........................................................................

So, for those who are ghosts.

What day is today?

As I said before, it's halloween, but what was today one year ago?

Yes, ta-dan

Expressionless peace sign

This is a picture from exactly one year ago today.

It's Doro-chan.

The 2nd day of the trainees' tour in Osaka started with "Silent Majority."

It's so nostalgic to remember the sound trouble at "Dare yori mo takaku tobe!"

I think that the best memory of the tour was when the 15 of us and the audience sang together and got through it.　

I remember I was so happy to hear from the staff that the lyrics on the monitor behind me and the speed of the a cappella sound weren't out of sync at all.

An important and irreplaceable memory.

I think I have grown up a little since then.

...........................................................................

Tomorrow is Myu-chan.

Miyu-chan otsukaresama~

Adios ！！！！！！！！！！

yours sincerely

 Otsukaresama desu. It's whose blog has disappeared, Hayashi Runa.

Thanks for your hard work today as well.

This is my 37th round of the blog relay.

The rod stayed intact, and instead they added a bamboo tube and potato chips and those were passed around.

Kuromi-chan didn't even touch it,,

Next we'll be passing around a 'halloween pumpkin'.

(sometimes the girls pass batons with words so they can add content to their blogs and make it more lively, previously hayashi passed the baton with the rod of the anime "Princess PreCure" and with that they 'tried' to answer the baton with something relevant)

................................................

Yesterday, October 25th, 2020.

Nakada Kana-san, congratulations for your graduation.

This is the first time for me to see a senpai whom I've been directly involved to graduate, 

and I'm realizing how sad I am to see her go.

On Nama no Idol I had the pleasure of working with Nakada-san for the first time.

Even though it was very difficult to get conversations and reactions in the remote way,

she tried her best to bring out the individuality of each member of the new 4th gen,

and it was a precious opportunity for the audience to get to know us.

Was an unique and peerless performance from hers.

I really respect her ability to express herself as if she could just embody the lyrics and melody.

Her speech ability on Friday of Silence (沈黙の金曜日)

An ability that goes way far that of an "assistant", and I really loved to see her in a way that is not usually seen.

Thank you very much for your hard work for the last 9 years.

I hope you have a wonderful life.

...................................................

Sudden. I bought a mountain parka.

Let me answer your questions.

Q. I saw Miona-san's Instagram story!

She said that she will be using the humidifier that Runa-chan gave her!

A. Yes! I'm happy!!!

Q. One last question.

Tell us about Runa's vitality these days!

A.It's the same as always, just my oshis.

Q. By the way, what was the first 'PreCure' you watched? In my case is 'Heart catching PreCure' lol 

I'd also like to know what your favorite Precure is!

A. The first Precure I ever watched was the first in the PreCure series, 'Futari wa Precure'.

My favorite Precure' season... that's a tough one.

I think my favorite story is "Princess Precure"

And my favorite part with Seiyuus is "Kira-kira PreCure a la mode"

Fujita saki-san's CV at 'Cure Macaroon' was the best.

(Character Voice)

Q. Do you know the feeling of putting your foot into the cold futon when you get into the futon when it's cold?

A. Yes, I know.

Q. What is the best part of winter?

A. The feeling of immorality when you eat ice cream and then warm your cold body in the bath.

There is nothing better than that.

Q. Our school has remote learning classes two days a week, but I can't help but touch my phone and other things...

Does Runapi happen to do things unintentionally?

A. Yes, I do.

Q. As an example, when you are told about a movie that is popular or recommended by a friend, you lose interest and don't want to see it.

What is that phenomenon called?

A. You're not interested in that movie to begin with.

Q. What is the standard anime song for you, Runapi?

A. Not for me, but for everyone in this world, I think that it should be "God knows..."

Though I had a phase when I used to sing "Lion" like crazy.

Q. The deforestation also looks good on you! Pon pon po~n

(See past blog)

A. Kobayashi Yui-san....... ?

Q. What's your motto?

A. 「The hardest thing is the distributive law.」

(Can be also said as "The hardest things can be done with the distributive law", depends of the point of view)

And it's not exactly my motto, but

「It's okay if you don't have a hundred friends, but make real friends that you can cherish as much as a hundred.」

That line is from Mikazuki Yozora's mother from "Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai"

It's been my favorite quote for the last 5 years.

Q. Do you think it's possible to wear a half-twin(like kururinpa) with short hair?

A. I think so. It's possible.

Q. I saw Runapi in my dream today.

In the ancient Japanese class I learned, "You dream about that person because that person makes you think of yourself." 

Is this the case?

A. I guess so.

Lately my oshis have not been appearing in my dreams.

True that at the waves at Suminoe's shore    Is not where I should meet you     But even at night      

                                  住の江の                                                             岸による波                                                          夜さへや

    Even on the road that leads to my dreams        Why do you stay out of sight?

                                                     夢のかよひぢ                                                                                          人めよくらむ

(I tried translating based on the original text rather than just the verse, quote from 古今集)

Q. Can you tell the season by it's scent, Hayashi?

Like saying "It's winter's smell!", I really admire the people who can say that ☺︎

A. I know that.

 

I love the smell of mid-November when it's not yet winter the best.

Q. I'm not good at smiling and paying attention to people, and I'm also the type of person who is honest with them about my feelings, what do you think of such people? 

A. What do you think about yourself?

Q. May I call you "Hayashi-rice"? I'd be honored if you could give me your permission.

A. I agree.

Q. ♪ For 1,000,000 years and 2,000 years?

A. I don't love you.

(lyrics of the song 'Sousei no Aquarion', says"I've loved you for 10,000 and 2,000 years.')

Thank you for all your questions and comments.

I'm glad you like my hair. But none of you noticed the change in the bangs.

They're heavier.

 

Look, my vision is now a barcode.

................................................................................

Tomorrow is Myu-chan.

Miyu-chan, you look good with or without bangs. I'm just being honest. Please don't doubt it.

Adiós ! 

yours, sincerely

I made it to the end of the blog only to disappear once. I feel like I'm going to cry.

Otsukaresama desu. I cut my hair. It's Hayashi Runa.

Thanks for your hard work today as well.

I'm Hayashi Runa, the 4th generation member of Nogizaka46.

17 years old, second year high school student from the Kanagawa Prefecture

I'm Hayashi Runa, the blooming seven's teen.

Don't lose, don't be discouraged, Hayashi Runa! Today is another day of hard work!
(makeruna, shogeruna, Hayashi Runa! kyõ mo ichinichi ganbaruna!)

(pin-pon)

This is my 36th round of the blog relay.

I heard that we're going to see an Orionid meteor shower today.

Looking forward to it.

Did you read Rika's blog yesterday?

Finally after that...

In response to the "you're the girlfriend, right?"

She made a roundabout, indirect confession saying, "I'm not reluctant/ I'm willing to"

Then I asked, "Why do you say that?"

And she said, "So we can turn over our gap"

After that, while I was walking and looking back at this, mumbling to myself, "That was so cute, she was so cute~", I was given a staring look by a woman walking right in front of me.

 

...........................................................................

A question coming from my mother:

"What's the Nino Juice?"

It's "Noni Juice".

(Iirc it was the "delicious and good for health" juice that Saraba-san gave to the girls on Mayu's conto)

I hope you saw the Nogizaka skits of the other day.

I was given the role of Mayutan's younger sister.

Noni juice, like the Japanese green tea. I thought I could manage this kind fo thing, but... I couldn't really afford it.

I guessed it would be a sour one, and I was right.

If you haven't seen it yet, please do.

...........................................................................

Let me answer your questions.

Q. When do you have moments of bliss?

A. When I see the activities of my oshi(s)

Q. What is your favorite book? And have you read any recently?

A. I readed "Kokoro" by Natsume Soseki-san.

Q. Is there a fine line between liking someone and being liked?

A. I think there is a fine line, because if I know that someone is thinking well of me, then I'll also think well of him/her.

Q. Now, my hair is about the same length as Hayashi's and I'm not sure whether I should cut it again or not, which do you think is better, cutting it or letting it grow?

A. Then it won't be at the same length as Hayashi's anymore.

Deforestation.

Q. Is it true that you've been learning the Hyakunin Isshu? Or am I wrong?    

("One hundred persons, one poem each", Rock-bottom japanese anthology with 100 poems(waka) mostly collected from the Kamakura era, the Uta-garuta and Karuta is based on it, Chihayafuru, etc.)

A. Yes, I'm in it.

My favorite cards are,

Retired-Emperor Sanjou's

「 Kokoro ni mo    Arade ukiyo ni     Nagaraheba

「 If one's mind        Is crude and unworldly        Then 

Koishikaru beki    Yowa no tsuki kana 」

Maybe with the moon at night    It's the right time to love. 」

And Akazome Emon's

「 Yasurawade         nenamashi mono wo     sayo fukete

「 Maybe I'll stay up         Late, all the night 

Katabuku made no        tsuki wo mishi kana 」

 Just to be able to see         The moon until it clears. 」

Q. Can I call you Hayashiru~ from now on?

A. Pien.

Q. Do you have any recommendations for songs to listen to on nights when you can't sleep?

A. I think I'd be 「LOVE SONG ft. OWV 」

Oh, I also recommend "Sousei no Aquarion"

The lyrics are wonderful, the 80% of the times I fall asleep at the 5 minutes.

Even if you don't have a sleepless night, I want to listen to this song.

Q. I wanted to ask you since from the last blog, what is that "Kashiko" at the end?

A. It's a kind of "yours sincerely"

(That was other variation, Kashiko it's an expression from the female language and exclusively for letters, not widely known, apparently)

Q. Do you have a motto?

A. Yes I have.

Q. What do you want now?

A. I want a sister.

Ruby-chan, Kobato-chan, Chino-chan, Sagiri-chan, Tsukihi-chan, Kirino-chan, Shiro, Akiko-chan...etc

(Mostly all her oshi's names, love live, etc)

I really want everyone to be my sister.

And maybe there's even more people who I'd like to take as my sister

Q. Can you make pancakes now?

A. I haven't tried since then.

http://blog.nogizaka46.com/newfourth/smph/2020/06/056461.php#comments-open

Q. When people ask you what your favorite food is, are you afraid that for some reason you'll have to say curry?

A. No.

Q. Did you ever get rid of the habit of falling asleep on the phone with your friends?

A. No, I can't get over it.

Sometimes I ask my friend to call me and then I refuse to receive the call, or I just wake her/him up and cancel the call.

I'll try to fix it.

Q. Do you have any special emoji that you often use?

 

A. I don't. But if that's the case, I use emoticons.

Thank you for all your questions and comments.

It looks like I'm just getting home, sheltering from the rain.

...........................................................................

Tomorrow is Myu-chan.

Princess PreCure's Crystal Princess Rod will be passed around as a baton.

(no idea what's that though, maybe a topic baton to all the other members? Idk why but I've been unable to read the other's blogs since a while)

Adiós！！！！！！

Let's all try not to work too hard, everyone.

Yours, sincerely.

..........................................................................

Yesterday, October 15th

Happy birthday, Hori Miona-san ! ! ! 

Up until now I've been celebrating this day all by myself, but this year I'm really happy to be able to celebrate it while being close to her.

You are always challenging yourself, 

you have a strong sense of self, 

you have a casual, caring nature,

you value your personal interactions above everything else, 

and you are proud of yourself as an idol.

Thankfully, now I'm able to see Hori Miona-san more closely than before, but I still got struck by her way of life, everyday I got blown by it.

There's no words that can describe it.

Hori Miona-san herself is a work of art, she changes her color in an instant like when one drops paint on the surface of the water.

It penetrates directly into my organs,

and it resounds in every eardrum and heart nerve as much as possible.

The art of Miona-san has such an influence for me.

That is why I want to be someone like her, 

but if I ever become someone like her,

then my current thoughts will change.

When people ask me what I like about her, I can't answer right away.

She is so charming that I can't answer, but first of all, her attitude that she tries her best to shine for the people who are watching her is something I'm in love with.

I'm looking forward for today's MUSIC STATION.

Have a happy year! ! Daisuki desu ♡

..........................................................................

Tomorrow is Myu-chan.

Every time I see sweet chestnuts on sale, I can't decide whether to buy them or not because Miyu-chan always eats them.

Adiós！！！！！！

P.S. I saw THE LAST LIVE of Keyakizaka46-san.

I can't put it into words well, so please let me write about it soon.

EX Taishou-san published the interview of me and Kakehashi Sayaka.

Please check it out.

　

Yours, sincerely.

Oh, the photo.

I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Happy birthday, Sakura-chan ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Once when we were eating our bentos for the recording of Nogizaka Skits, I asked to her, "Sakura-chan is it delicious? a short food report, please", and she did a great job.

　

When we performed Kiss no shuriken in TIF, it was so fun to met her eyes in the B verse/part.

I wish you a wonderful year!

October 8th

Happy birthday, Ito Riria ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

You' re someone I would really, really like to talk to one day.

I really love her and I carry her show pics everywhere, but it seems that I dropped them the other day with other prints when I was having a lesson, and my manager picked them up for me.

I'll always take care them!

I'll pray with all my might that this year will be a good one for you!

...........................................................................

Otsukaresama desu! Don't look-, don't touch- me, Runa. The one in charge of the jet-black, Runa. No, that's not, it's the person in charge of doing her best at everything, Hayashi Runa. Oh, and I turned 17 years old.

(watch Nogizaka skits ep.17 for more info)

All this time I've been living with the flow, like the window of a car on the highway.

To put it bluntly, it's like there was no will and no intention to.

Compared to the time when I was just living by inertia, the 16-years-old-Hayashi Runa has been living by the ticking of time.

Dense, very dense and intense, such a year.

Those words had no unneeded embellishments, so without them warping they gently penetrated straight into my heart.

Thank you for all your congratulatory messages.

Thanks for your hard work today as well.

I'm Hayashi Runa, the 4th generation member of Nogizaka46.

17 years old, second year high school student from the Kanagawa Prefecture

I'm Hayashi Runa, the blooming seven's teen.

(A reference to Ito marika's PV, hana-saku sixteen)

Don't lose, don't be discouraged, Hayashi Runa! Today is another day of hard work!
(makeruna, shogeruna, Hayashi Runa! kyõ mo ichinichi ganbaruna!)

(pin-pon)

This is my 33rd blog relay.

And I've just turned 17 years old.

17 already, so fast isn't.

So many people congratulated me this year.

Seniors, 4th gens, former trainees, school friends, not-so-friends and my mother.

And everyone.

I can only say thanks to everyone for the opportunity to meet some really wonderful people as I get older.

There was also a child who wrote me a letter.

I cried because I knew that I was having a year that I would treasure for the rest of my life.

And at the same time,  I wanted to make my 17 a much better and important treasure.

　

No one can imagine how the future will be in a castle on the air, so I can't say anything with certainty, but, 

 

In order to give you the strength to be able to live your tomorrow,

The person in charge of doing her best at everything, Hayashi Runa, it's going to work super-duper hard.

Thank you for keep supporting me.

It's a t-shirt with "Leave it to others' headquarters" and " Self-reliance' temple" in it.

("Hitomakase sōhonzan"; "jiriki-tera")

It's the story of hayashi.

....................................................................................................................

The 16 members of the 4th gen performed at「TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL オンライン2020」

It was the first time of Nogizaka46 to perform there, and of all the 16 members of the 4th gen too.

It was the first time for me/us to perform on TIF.

And because it was online I couldn't see everyone's faces, but,

As I said in the nekojita SHOWROOM last month, I have the power of clairvoyance, so I could feel everyone's cheers, and of course I could see your faces.

The new 4th gen started performing from the 3rd song "Seifuku no mannequin"

And then we continued with "Girls Rule",  "Kisu no Shuriken" and "I See...".

All of the 4th gens were very kind to me.

They taught me the movements that I didn't understand and they were really good at finding out my points I had to improve.

Teachers and the members of the 4th term have really supported me a lot.

From now on, I will work harder and harder so that I can be able help to them as well.

To everyone that watched us,

Or for those who thought, "Oh, today's TIF isn't, do your best girls!",

Thank you so much.

.......................................................................................................

Yesterday was aired Nogizaka skits.

How was [Sestsuna shoujo]~?

("Momentary Girls" her skit.)

Am I getting better at the whites of my eyes than before? lol

Has anyone seen it?

That skit is called "Asocial-type Idol: Momentary girl", so Hayashi Runa just went back in time.

("Inkya-aidoru: setsuna-shoujo")

It was the same as I was 2 or 3 years ago.

And even more, my mother also said "It's no need to put it as a role.", it was almost the same, just have to include the dual nature(as idol).

I had a great time being with seera-chan and Nao.

But there was so much improvisation in the middle of the performance that I was like, "Where's the script?"

I was very conscious of my point of view and all.

If you haven't seen it yet, please do.

hihii

Blog Translation: Hayashi Runa (Oct. 2nd, 2020)

Otsukaresama desu! It's Hayashi Runa, whose light stick's colors has been already decided.

Thanks for the hard work today as well.

 
I'm Hayashi Runa, the (new) 4th generation member of Nogizaka46.
 
16 years old, 2nd-year HS student from Kanagawa Prefecture.

It's Hayashi Runa, the sixteenager that didn't bloom. 

(reference to marika-sensei's PV(hana-saku sixteen) but at the contrary)
 
Don't lose, don't be discouraged, Hayashi Runa! Today is another day of hard work!
(makeruna, shogeruna, Hayashi Runa! kyõ mo ichinichi ganbaruna )

(pin-pon)

This is my 32nd round of the blog relay.

I had a video call with Sayaka.

...........................................................................

As you can see from the new 4th period relays, the color of the light sticks has been decided!

ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-

ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-daaa...

ta-dan.

Pink x Pink

...is the color I'd like to choose.

I'm sure there are many of you who are wondering why did I chose this color.

It's time to take a step back in time to the audition SHOWROOM.

At first, when I was asked in the comments what my favorite color was, I said pink.

And I forgot about it after happened.

But on the trainee tour, everyone who was with handmade uchiwas and towels with my name were using the pink color on their penlights.

I was like, "Oh, they remembered about it..." and from there on, the pink became a memorable color for me.

So for that, I'd like to choose the Pink x Pink as my light stick color.

While I was discussing the colors with the new 4th gens, me, Sayaka and the others came with the idea of that color, because of that and also because it gives some unpredictability, I choose it.

I'd be glad if you could remember it.

The 16 members of the 4th gen will perform in the "TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL Online 2020".

This is our 1st performance with all the 16 members of the 4th gen.

Although we can't meet everyone in person, we will do our best, so I'm looking forward to the performance.

It's the October 4th. Please watch it!

I had a video call with Sayaka.

 I'd like to answer a few questions.

Q  I want to have the same hairstyle as Runapi. What is the length of your hair from the root to the end?

A 312mm

Q What kind of person would you be happy to have as a friend?

A Someone with nice white eyes.

Q By the way, are your conversations with Rika like the "boyfriend/girlfriend" type? lol

A Yes.

Q Do you like cakes and other sweet things, Runa-chan?

A Depends on what it is.

Q What kind of sweet food do you like?

A Pudding, cheesecake and cream puffs.

Q So far, what did you get/eat on your birthdays? Something memorable...!

A The pudins, omelettes and takoyakis are still vivid on my memory.

Q If Hayashi were to become a comedian, Tsukkomi or Boke, which one you would like to do?

(Tsukkomi: the serious role/ straight man of the duo(eg, Shitara Osamu); Boke: the funny man of the duo(eg, Himura Yuuki))

And who will be your partner?

A  I'd like to do a Boketsukkomi mix like Waraimeshi-san.

My partner will be.... Masumoto Kira.

Q Do you put a name to things that are important to you?

For example, my mechanical pencil is "Dorayaki"(dessert sandwich of two small sweet pancakes and red bean paste.)

And my pen case is "Takoyaki".

A I do.

Q If there was a parallel world, what do you think that Runa-chan would be doing in her life?

A I'll be an all-out Otaku.

Q I'd love to see pictures of some dish that Runa-chan has made! 

Whether it's rice or sweets, whatever is fine!

A I think I'm going to burn my house down, so I won't do it.

Oh, I also want a friend who is good cooking and from a rice' prefecture.

Q Did you watch King of Conte 2020?

What did you think at that moment when Jaru-jaru-san, who you said you've been following for a long time, won?

A At that time... I wasn't watching King of Conte.

I was working that day.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to watch it on real time, so I was determined to go home and catch up without ever cheking any of the social medias.

But! Even! With! That!, a friend in my school was saying,

"Jaru-jaru omedetou!"

"I'm so glad with Jaru-jaru~"

"It's in the finals."

．．．．

「Huh?」

I was like "Eh... why did you say that?"

While I keep swearing "Unbelievable" about what my classmate said, on the road I knew that Jaru-jaru won...

I was really disappointed because I couldn't watch it with my own eyes and be able to enjoy the moment.

I was really disappointed, but I was still so happy that I ended up crying all the way to my home.

But when I got home, I saw it and I was just like [I'm so glad...]

I'll be brief. You came to get it.

Even more, you took the 1st and 2nd place with New York-san.

Congratulations.

And I'm very curious of the "Nippon president" of the King of conte from this year, so I'm looking forward for it from now on.

Thank you very much for your hard work.

Thank you very much for all the questions and comments.

I had a video call with Sayaka.

...........................................................................

September 27th.

Happy birthday, Nakamura Reno-san!!

She's really stylish, and when I saw her the other day at the recording of Nogizaka Under Construction, I was like,

"Long leeeegs!!! So cuteeeee!!!!". I'm not kidding.

I love her worldview, and I always think, "I'd love to see my friend to try that makeup and clothes the next time I see her..."

I'm praying that this year will be a wonderful one for you.

And September 27th was Takahashi Mikuni's birthday, too.

Happy birthday! Meccha congrats!

I made sure to call her and we talked about meals.

Tomorrow is myu-chan.

She said that the banana milks are delicious!!

(these are not supposed to be some kind of game messages! by Nao☺︎)

Miyu seems to know what's that.

Adios!!!!

Oh, seems that tomorrow is going to be H-san's birthday.
