🕊 (Nishimori Aya 10th blog)

Hello! I'm Nishimori

August is here 🍉 I may have been born in the summer, but I don't really like the heat. Lately, I have been looking back on last year's photos, wishing I could be going for a swim in the river lol

I also like cucumbers, and, I'm thinking of becoming a kappa in my next life 🥒 [T/L note: 'Kappa' is a type of mythical, water-dwelling, reptilian humanoid creatures, similar to deities, who are said to inhabit the rivers and streams flowing over Japan.] I want to live by the river 🏡

I loved jumping straight into the river with my friends, even in my practice clothes, once the club activities ended

Oh, I didn't tell you which club I was part of back in elementary school 🫢

I was a setter in the volleyball team! [T/L note: When it comes to volleyball, the setter is the player responsible for strategizing the team's attack plays, by using the set.] I wasn't a small setter only ☝ Thanks to having played in the volleyball club, I'm good at shouting loudly ^_^

[During a] live [concert] one day, I want to shout 'Everyone, let's goooーーーー！!' in a really loud voice lol

For those of you who are currently students and are taking part in club activities, I want you to cherish each and every moment

Club activities really were the soul of youth

Although this may be changing the subject,

I would like to start writing about each of our members starting from today!

'Only I know that 〇〇 is this type of person!' I'll share such anecdotes from time to time

Today's member is…

Yuzu-chan! 🕊

Other members have written a little bit about this on their blogs, I may be the most spoiled member but? She's the oneesan [elder sister-like person] that spoils me the most!

I don't particularly intend to be spoiled though 😗

What made me happy recently was that Yuzu-chan invited me to hang out with her!

'Why don't we go hang out together！!'

I grinned when I saw her contacting me

In the group, she really is the number one elder sister-like presence and the one I rely on the most. If I'm ever facing a problem that's likely to bring tears to my eyes, I think Yuzu-chan is the one I'll always go to.

But, given how Yuzu-chan is the eldest in the group, I wonder if she's under pressure to maintain that image and always be the reliable oneesan. If that's the case, I'd like to support you to the best of my ability

Yuzu-chan! Don't forget to confide in me about your problems every now and again I'll be back and soon hang out with you again!

Oh no… I could write about this endlessly I'll make sure to tell her the rest in person 💌

That's all for today! I'd be happy to see you again soon (｡･･｡) Please make sure to take care of yourselves during the hot days that will go on

Good evening (Hayasaki Suzuki 3rd blog)

Everyone, good evening 🌙 I'm Hayasaki Suzuki.

Yesterday, I had a day off, so I ended up going to the hairdresser's 💇🏼‍♀️

So soft~ And, I'm in a good mood because I got some lovely clothes and pajamas

Recently, I've been really into fruit, and now I even have watermelons and peaches at home… There's lots of mizu yokan in the fridge too. I love summerー！

~Suu-life ② [T/L note: most likely equivalent to 'Sharing my life', and a wordplay with the 'Su' from 'Suzuki']~

Actually, actually, Aoi-chan seems to be addicted to gacha gacha [T/L note: capsule toy machines], so she gave me, Suzu, something she thought I'd like（ ; ; ）

Too cute. Thank you, Aoi-chan！！

Aoi-chan, y'know, she sticks to Suzu and even smells her a lot lol [T/L note: Suzuki is referring to herself in third person here.]

That's it for today! Thank you very much for reading to the very end.

See you later 💜

I enjoyed the online talk session so much (Nishimori Aya 9th blog)

It's been a while, everyone ^_^ I'm Nishimori

The days are only getting hotter and hotter, but, are all of you okay? I'm eating more and more ice cream every day, I'm in trouble…

When it's hot out, the number one quickest way to cool off is to get in the river ☝ This recommendation is coming from a river[-loving] child

The online talk session that took place on Saturday Was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally, really fun!!

The people who support me are seriously kind

'Have you gotten used to it yet?' or 'I know it's a long haul, but hang in there' and 'Aren't you tired?'

There are lots of people who say kind words to me 😭 It really feels like the day went by too fast I guess that must mean that I just had too much fun.

Turns out that there were many people who read my previous blog, and I was happy to hear everyone's requests for what they want me to do and to post next! Some of the requests are a tad embarrassing, but I'll try to fulfill them to the best of my ability on my blog!

Thank you very much for this wonderful time!

I did my best to take this picture at the time of the online talk session! I'm still too embarrassed to take selfies (｡･･｡) I had to check the mirror to make sure that I took the photo properly lol

It felt embarrassing to take the photo in a jerseyー lol

And! There was a surprise celebration of my birthday It really was a surprise lol Everybody, thank you so much 🎉

Although this is changing the subject�� [In the] 'TikTok Exclusive! BokuAo View Count Challenge!' What a surprise! I got the first place 😳😳

When shooting that video, I was so embarrassed because the camera was SO close to my face lol But, I was really happy that so many people ended up seeing it Thank you for watching it so many times 😭

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

【 Announcement 】 On the 7th of August, Akita Rian and I will appear on 'Weekly Playboy'! Rian-chan and I did lots of summery things 🎐

Look forward to it!!

That's all for today! I hope you'll come back and take another look at my blog soon 🌲 See you 😳

Long time no see! (Nishimori Aya 8th blog)

Everyone, it's been a while!

And for that, I am sorry (ó﹏ò｡) It's been a very long time since my last update Well, it's not that I've been slacking off y'know, it's just that… Well…. I'm sorry about that ( ˙꒳˙ )

From today, I'll be back on track ✊

By the way, it's been a few days since it was released! Have you seen the Seven Café Smoothies Web Commercial in which all of us appear?

The team I was part of was…

The green smoothie team 🥬 Between you and me, I'm not the best when it comes to vegetables. So so, I was a little hesitant to drink it, but when I did, I was surprised to discover that not only was it very easy to drink, but it also tasted very good

All three of the smoothies are very tasty, so please try them all out and compare them! We also had a lot of fun filming [for the CM]

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

And tomorrow, there'll be an online talk session too I'm excited now (((* ॑˘ ॑* ≡ * ॑˘ ॑*)))ｿﾜｿﾜ I hope we can talk about all kinds of things

And and [one more thing]! If there's anything that makes you go 'I want to see this on your blog!' or 'I'd like to hear this kind of anecdote!', please let me know if there are any such things [you want to read on my blog] 😊 Please let me know (*_ _)

Well, that's all for today As an apology for the last few days' absence…

I'm a bit embarrassed about my civil engineering girl/dobojo-like appearance [T/L note: 'dobojo' ('ドボジョ') is a word used to refer to 'civil engineering girls' or 'women in working clothes and helmets, who work at civil engineering and construction sites'.] I'll leave you with this……………(o_ _)o ﾊﾟﾀｯ

It would be great to see you again here soon ✨

Gekkan Entame August 2023: Yagi Toa, Sugiura Eren, Hayasaki Suzuki, Yanagihori Karen & Yoshimoto Cocona interviews

The debut of Nogizaka46's official rival!

Nice to meet you, we are Boku ga Mitakatta Aozora.

This group was created as an official rival to Nogizaka46.

That idol group, produced by Akimoto Yasushi, is Boku ga Mitakatta Aozora.

We'll be taking a closer look at the personalities of the five fresh members, whose charms are yet to be discovered.

Yagi Toa: Born on the 1st of May, 2007, from Tokyo. 155cm tall. Blood type A. Her nickname is Toa. Her personal colour is yellowish/yebe spring.

Sugiura Eren: Born on the 19th of June, 2008, from Aichi. 160cm tall. Blood type O. Her nickname is Eren. Her personal colour is yellowish/yebe spring.

Yagi Toa's part:

Q: I understand that you have had a long history of dancing.

Yagi: My mother enrolled me in a dance school back when I was four years old, after seeing me dancing to the ending of Pretty Cure. I'd mainly do hip-hop, but the more I kept dancing, the more I would improve, so I enjoyed it and continued going until recently.

Q: Did you enjoy dancing in front of people, too?

Yagi: I've never been good at being in front of people, ever since I was little・・・・・・ I'd often feel like I did better during rehearsals than during the show itself (laughs).

Q: Why did you decide to become an idol, despite not being good at being in front of people?

Yagi: Around the time I became a junior high school student, I started to like the Sakamichi Groups and gradually, I started to think that I wanted to be an idol too. That's when I found out about the BokuAo audition on TikTok and ended up applying.

Q: What was particularly memorable to you regarding the audition?

Yagi: The singing [part of the] audition. There were many cameras and lots of adults, and I sang while thinking 'I'm being watched so closely', to the point where I couldn't hit any notes properly. I don't even know how I got accepted (laughs). I couldn't believe it for a good while, but when I took part in the training camp, there, too, were a lot of cameras and I talked a lot in front of them, I took dance lessons and voice training lessons and the like. I finally realised that I had really become an idol.

Q: Since starting your activities, when have you found being an idol rewarding?

Yagi: Given how I get to experience new things, such as magazine shoots and music video shoots, every day is fresh. I wasn't very good at singing, but after practicing, I've become more confident, singing-wise, and now I enjoy doing that [singing] with everyone.

Q: So, at this very moment, what are the challenges you are currently facing as an idol?

Yagi: It's facial expressions. I practice in front of the mirror on a regular basis, but whenever the camera is pointed at me, I become all stiff. That's why I admire the members who are good at displaying charming facial expressions. I'm also not very good at talking, so I want to improve my talking skills and my mental strength.

Q: You were chosen as the center for the group's debut single, 'Aozora ni Tsuite Kangaeru'.

Yagi: I didn't expect that... I was surprised, but, most importantly, I want to polish my performance skills, so that many people would feel tempted to listen to our debut single.

Sugiura Eren's part:

Q: Why did you decide to become an idol? 

Sugiura: I have been learning dance since the first grade of primary school, but I didn't really want to be an idol, instead I wanted to become a dancer in theme park productions and make lots of people smile. My mother told me there was an audition, but I didn't want to go for it at the time. But when I was looking around on SNS, the notice about the audition just popped up and I thought it was fate, so I applied in the end.

Q: What genres of dance did you learn? 

Sugiura: I started out with idol dances, then jazz, ballet, theme park-specific dancing, J-pop and many others. The one I did for quite a long time was jazz. It was very difficult and there were many times when I wanted to quit, but I loved the process of creating performances for the annual recital.

Q: Did you show off your dance moves as your appeal point during the auditions? 

Sugiura: I wanted to show myself as I was, so I didn't dare try to appeal. I couldn't sing well and my self-PR was weak, so I thought I'd have no chance of ever getting in. While waiting for the announcement of whether I'd got in or not, I was eating Pocky or talking to my friends on the phone (laughs).

Q: Does your dance experience come in handy in your idol activities? 

Sugiura: Thankfully, I was given a leading dance position, as well as a solo part in the first single. I like to think I'm quick at learning choreography, so I'm really glad that I've kept on dancing.

Q: What other [club] activities have you taken part in, apart from dancing? 

Sugiura: I played percussion in the brass band until I was in the eighth grade, mainly the timpani. [T/L note: Timpani or kettledrums are musical instruments in the percussion family. A type of drum categorised as a hemispherical drum, they consist of a membrane called a head stretched over a large bowl traditionally made of copper.] I joined the club because I saw an older student playing the drums at a trial demonstration of what the club would be like, and he looked so cool. Given how I used to dance too, it was fun coming up with different rhythms.

Q: What are the current challenges you are facing?

Sugiura: I want to improve my talking skills. I'm someone who talks a lot, but I don't have an extensive vocabulary, so I often can't come up with the exact words that can convey what I want to say (laughs). I would like to one day work as a radio personality, so I will do my best!

Q: I got the impression that you are a very confident person, back during the group's unveiling event.

Sugiura: I wasn't nervous at all. I'm usually someone who's helped by the members, so I'm glad I was able to be a person who could mentally support the others during the unveiling.

Q: What is the goal you are currently aiming for?

Sugiura: Our members come from all over the country, so I'd like us to perform in each of our hometowns!

Hayasaki Suzuki: Born on the 13th of March, 2005, from Tokyo. 161cm tall. Blood type B. Her nickname is Suu. Her personal colour is brevet/blueish summer.

Yanagihori Karen: Born on the 24th of July, 2005, from Tokyo. 163.4cm tall. Blood type B. Her nickname is BoriBori. Her personal colour is yellowish/yebe autumn.

Hayasaki Suzuki's part:

Q: Isn't it unusual to have the name 'Suzuki'? 

Hayasaki: People often tell me that. The 'Suzu' comes from my great-grandmother, whose name was 'Misuzu', but I don't really know where the 'ki' came from (laughs). After I became part of BokuAo, I realised that it was easy for people to remember me, and I started liking it! 

Q: Hayasaki-san, you are particularly good at playing the piano, and you've won prizes in multiple competitions.

Hayasaki: I've studied the piano from the first grade of primary school to the third grade of high school. I also played the violin for five years, so I think my sense of pitch is one of my greatest strengths. However, I wasn't as good when it came to playing in public, and I was quite bad at taking part in competitions.

Q: How did you become interested in idols?

Hayasaki: Back when I was in primary school, I went to a park with my family and happened to see an idol group performing there. I was still young at the time, so even though we didn't have any tickets, we were given special seats, and the idols were so enthusiastic! I fell in love with them and ended up becoming a fan, along with my father, until the day when they broke up. Since then, I've started keeping an eye on all kinds of idols.

Q: Is that when you started thinking about becoming an idol?

Hayasaki: I had had a desire to become an idol for longer than that, but I was convinced that I wouldn't get in anyway. But when I started thinking about what I wanted to do after graduating from high school, I found myself thinking that what I really wanted to do was to become an idol. I decided that this would be the first and last audition I'd ever take part in, so I gave it a go and was surprised when I ended up passing.

Q: It's been about three months since you got in.

Hayasaki: Every single day feels like 'youth'! It's only been a few months since we first met, but we've already become good friends and can talk just about anything. We're great friends and work well as a team, and - all of us are foodies! Whenever lunchboxes are served, we rush to them and everyone eats their respective ones delightedly (laughs).

Q: That's nice. By the way, what's your favourite food?

Hayasaki: Mizu yokan. [T/L note: Mizu yokan, a chilled Japanese red bean jelly with chestnut is a traditional sweet treat in Japan.] You can only find mizu yokan in the shops during the summer. That's why I'm glad that summer is here! I have eight mizu yokan at home right now!

Q: Now, you are going to start your activities as an idol in earnest. Do you think you'll be able to overcome your fear of public appearances?

Hayasaki: I've always been an anxious person, but when it comes to BokuAo's activities, I don't get nervous at all. The people around me tell me, 'It's okay if you make mistakes, you don't have to stress about getting it right [from the get-go]', which makes it really easy and enjoyable. With that in mind, I'm really looking forward to the future!

Yanagihori Karen's part:

Q: First of all, please tell us about your hobbies, your special skills and your character.

Yanagihori: My speciality is the tea ceremony, my hobby is skiing, in particular, and I like to smile. ･･････ I've kept saying that since the audition (laughs). I've been practicing the tea ceremony since I was in the first grade of primary school, and I've actually been doing it for a whole year now. At first, I was invited by a friend to go there for the sweets (laughs). But gradually, I realised how much fun it could be and I started taking it seriously. I also started to like wearing kimonos, and now I can even style myself.

Q: How come skiing is your hobby?

Yanagihori: It used to be my father's hobby, which is why I've started skiing ever since I was five. We go skiing every season.

Q: What about your club activities at school? 

Yanagihori: I'm the head of the tea ceremony club, as well as the manager of the swimming club. It's hard work, but I like the hustle and bustle of it all (laughs).

Q: So, Yanagihori-san, what made you decide to audition? 

Yanagihori: My mother was the one who suggested it to me. I used to be in the dance club, back in junior high school, and I also liked singing, so I used to often go to karaoke. When I was in primary school, I wanted to be a model too. That doesn't mean that I had done anything special, but given how my mother knew that I wanted to be in the show business world, she encouraged me to audition.

Q: The audition mentioned that it was looking for 'Nogizaka46's Official Rival'.

Yanagihori: I used to dance to Nogizaka46-san's songs, such as 'Influencer', in my junior high school dance club and I used to watch them on singing shows too. I thought they were really cute. I didn't think I would be accepted in the official rival audition, so I was very surprised and still feel quite flustered about it.

Q: Before you passed the audition, what career path did you have in mind for the future? 

Yanagihori: I wanted to become a nurse and I was thinking of going to university, to study nursing. I've said just earlier that 'I value smiles', and I really do want to make people smile, as well as the fact that I like doing my best for others. In that sense, I think that nursing and being an idol are both jobs that can benefit someone, and I like to think that there is a connection between the two.

Q: So, what are your dreams for the future?

Yanagihori: I want us to become a group that can bring smiles and courage to many, many people. I also want to improve myself, so that I'll be able to contribute lots to the group. I would also like to try modelling, which has been my dream since I was in primary school, and I'd also be interested in working as a narrator, which I hope to happen someday.

Yoshimoto Cocona: Born on the 5th of December, 2005, from Ishikawa. 156cm tall. Blood type A. Her nickname is Cocona. Her personal colour is brevet/blueish summer.

Yoshimoto Cocona's part:

Q: First of all, please tell us why you auditioned.

Yoshimoto: I didn't know much about idols really, but my mother found the notice for the audition. So she sent in my application all by herself......。 Originally, I wasn't interested in neither going to university nor getting a job, so - if I got accepted - I realized that I wouldn't have to do either・・・・・・・(laughs). After that, as the auditions went on, I became more and more interested in various idols and found myself wanting to get accepted. 

Q: Do you have any memories that stick out from the audition?

Yoshimoto: By the time of the final screening, everyone around me had already become friends, but I was really shy and wasn't able to talk. Once I had passed the audition, the members told me that I looked like a tough girl, but that wasn't the case. I was always told that I had an 'eye-catching face, but that I was modest on the inside' (laughs).

Q: So you've always been the quiet type?

Yoshimoto: I didn't like being in front of people. However, I liked Namie Amuro-san and had this hope that I could be someone like her in the future. Thanks to that admiration, I faintly found myself thinking that 'I want to enter the entertainment industry in the future', so I ended up taking jazz dance and singing lessons.

Q: You're right in the middle when it comes to the group's wide age range. Do you feel any difference in the way you interact with everyone [thanks to your age]? 

Yoshimoto: We all get on well together and I rarely feel the age difference between us. The junior high school students are always teasing me, by saying that 'You may think you're all cool, but you actually have a baby face!' (laughs).

Q: So you don't like being told that you have a baby face?

Yoshimoto: I hate it! I wasn't even aware that I had a baby face until I joined the group. I really admire Imada Mio-san and Araki Yuko-san, and my hairstyle is a bit like theirs too, so I want to be like them.

Q: What are your hobbies, your favourite things to do?

Yoshimoto: I don't really have any of those. I didn't take part in any club activities or had any part-time jobs, so I'd come home right away and spend all my time just lazing around. Apart from that, I think I might have watched dramas or films? I prefer Japanese films and dramas to foreign films, and I would like to act in such works one day.

Q: How does it feel, coming to Tokyo from Ishikawa Prefecture? 

Yoshimoto: It's difficult to get on the right trains and interchange them properly! In Ishikawa, I used to drive most of the time, so I'm still getting used to it.

Like ! ! ! (Sugiura Eren 9th blog)

You've worked hard this week as well! This is Eren !

Lately I keep thinking about how nice it is, for a thing such as “like” to existー

It is difficult to put it in words, but even just having such an existence in my life adds fun to it, and makes me want to do my best…

I have been feeling that way more and more lately! Although I am still a little reluctant to say “like”, I am now thinking that, rather than keeping things forever in my heart, it is better to say them out loud, to try and do something about them, and maybe then I can expect a different result. Thinking that way, life is so fun, isn’t itー

Well, anyhow, I hope I can be that kind of existence for you allー！🌟

Uh-oh? Did you think that I wrote a good thing in my blog today??

hehehehehe

⬆️Sudden picture for today

Now, on another note, “Gekkan Entame” is now on sale today, July 28! Suzu, Toa-chan, Poripori, cocona, and me, Eren, got to appear in it! !

I did my best with the interview as well ! ! !

How does Sugiura Eren live? (Sugiura Eren 8th blog)

Good evening! Thank you for coming to see me! This is Sugiura Eren! 🧿

Everyone, are you on summer break already? I watched two movies a while ago! I like movies, because I feel like I can meet a new side of myself through them. Lately, we tend to watch movies on TV or on our smartphones, but when watching them at the cinema, on a big screen, hearing the clear sound, I realized that you can get invested in the work better than anywhere else while in a movie theater.

There are still maaany works I want to see in the cinema, so I hope I can go again 😻

On another note, there is an individual online talk event on Sunday, right! I really look forward to talking with everyone at the talk event ! ! Last time, I was asked to choose a nickname, or to suggest good places to visit in Aichi Prefecture for people who will go there soonー! and such, or people told me “I like Eren” 💕 It was a truly happy time !

I am now already looking forward to seeing who will come [to the talk event] this time, what we will talk about, and other things like that ! ! lol

To all the BokuAo fans who will participate in the talk event, let’s spend a fun and wonderful time together 🌟

I'm feeling better! (Aoki Yuho 4th blog)

Everyone, It's been a while 🥲 I'm Aoki Yuho from Ishigaki Island, in Okinawa 🏝️

I've been out of shape for a little while now. It seems that my body couldn't really keep up with the fast-paced changes [that took place] since the audition. I'm finally feeling better and was able to return to practice for the first time in a while! I'm sorry for the worries and inconveniences I've caused you.

To those who applied for the online talk session on the 30th of July, I was really looking forward to it myself, so I am very sorry that it has been changed [to a different day]... The talk session has been moved to tomorrow, the 5th of August, [I wonder], is that alright for you? I'm looking forward to seeing you soon ☆ ≡

I'm feeling better now after eating mangoes and dragon fruit 😊 Mangoes from Ishigaki Island tend to be rich, juicy and very delicious 🥭 Also, have you ever eaten dragon fruit? This one [in the photo] has red pulp, but there is also one with white pulp instead. It is refreshingly fresh and has a delicious crunchy texture! I think that its texture is similar to that of a kiwi 🥝 (By the way, I can't eat kiwi... 🥲)

I hope you'll all be able to eat tropical fruits and take good care of yourselves!

☆ The 'TVfan CROSS' magazine has been released on the 1st of August!

The magazine features Aoi-chan, Eren, Nana-chan, Suzu-chan, Yuri-chan and Poripori!

There are also photos of Suzu-chan, Yuri-chan and the focus point of their costumes are the ribbons 🎀 There are also selfies of this duo, so please check it [the magazine] out!

For reading all the way until here, Thank you [written in the Ishigaki dialect] 🛸ˎˊ- - ⚽️🇯🇵🎉

Announcement ❤️ (Yoshimoto Cocona 14th blog)

Everyone, good evening!

This is Cocona !

I got to appear in “Gekkan Entame”

that is now on sale today ! !

We took photos under a beautiful blue sky〜‪💙✨️

It was a fun photoshoot with everyone playing kagefumi ✌️

[T/L note: 'Kagefumi' is a game similar to tag, but the twist is that instead of trying to touch another player when you're 'it', in this case you're supposed to step on each other’s shadows.]

I got some ice cream from Kokoka today 🍨

It was an out of the blue gift

and I was soooooooo happy 💕 Thank you, Kokoka 😍

Thank you very much for reading!

See you later〜！

It’s hot everyday, isn’t it 🥵 (Yoshimoto Cocona 13th blog)

Good evening, everyone ♪

This is Cocona !

As the hot days go on,

Is everyone in good health🫠…?

Are you unsure if you're experiencing heatstroke or rather, a cold? Try sleeping with an ice pillow 🧊

Speaking of which, right after I talked about how I still haven’t had yakiniku since I came to Tokyo, I finally got around to trying yakinikuー！

(The photo of the grilled meat/yakiniku itself was uploaded on Suzu’s blog😸）

I also got to see the sea with everyone after the recording 😆

Moreover,

A few days ago, I went to get some shaved ice with Yuhoー🍧

Yuho, thank you for a great time 💞

I'm more of a soft-serve ice cream person than a [shaved] ice person, but I've realized that the different types of shaved ice are much more delicious in the summer 😋✨

I hope to enjoy Kanto even more with the members from now on

Thank you for reading.

Bye-bye 👋

Seven Café Smoothie 💚 (Yoshimoto Cocona 12th blog)

Good evening, everyone♪

This is Cocona !

BokuAo got to appear in 7/11’s

“Seven Cafe Smoothie” online commercial film !

・Green Smoothie 💚

・Strawberry Banana Smoothie [Soy Milk] Smoothie 🩷

・Double Berry Yoghurt Smoothie 💜

I was in charge of the Green Smoothie !

When my family excitedly went to buy it, they were told that the sale starts on the 25th in Ishikawa Prefecture〜 so it seems like the sale date may differ depending on the store 🥺

A cold smoothie on a hot day 🧊✨

Which flavor is more to your liking?

I want to hear everyone’s impressions ♪

Also

[We wore] uniforms with summer-like refreshing colors 👗 Everyone looked fresh and cute 🥺💕

Because Cocona usually wears a lot of monotone clothes or clothes in primary colors, I was worried about whether I could pull [wearing this costume] off, but it suited me when I put it on… or did it? lol

I took a photo with Ami-chan 💗

See you later〜 ^_^

Thank you 💕 (Yoshimoto Cocona 11th blog)

Good evening, everyone ♪

This is Cocona

I was going through my photos thinking of what to post on my blog, and I found a photo from when 

I was picking strawberries with my family 🍓 I really love strawberries ♡

Today was my first day off after a long time.

I am having a bit of trouble getting back to Ishikawa Prefecture unless I have a 3-day holiday

(even though it only takes 2.5 hours to get there 😂)

While I was thinking about what I should do today〜

I got an express delivery from my parents’ home 📦

Occasionally, they send me a fun BOX that I don’t know the contents of…

Even though it is full of things that I can buy by myself, the timing is always good so that it arrives right when I am about to run out of them [said items]〜

Also, they included various things that I thought were cute〜 like new clothes and makeup, they secretly prepare them and pack them in the box together 🥺

Among those items, they also included this kind of heartwarming thingー 🤣

Because I like Kokin-chan, I think they surely sent it to me while putting emphasis on the illustration, , but it did actually cheer me up ✊ lol

[T/L note: Kokin-chan (コキンちゃん) is a character from the Anpanman anime series. She is a young, bright blue germ with a red bow on her antenna.]

The hot days are continuing, so let’s both eat, drink and sleep well, and get through the summer while paying attention to our health 🍧✨

I am trying to drink 2L of water everyday, but

On busy days, I can’t achieve this goal 🫣

Everyone, is there something you are also trying to do ? 

Well then, once again…

Thank you very much for reading [my] blog.

Odaiba Adventure King (Yoshimoto Cocona 10th blog)

Everyone, good evening ♪

This is Cocona !

Today was a wonderful day ❤︎

I got to appear on the

“Mezamashi Rock-paper-scissors ✊” that I had wanted to play

and then

the opening ceremony of

[it was time for] “Odaiba Adventure King 2023” ✨✨

Our first performance on a stage in front of a live audience 🎉

Being able to receive such power from your support and your encouraging cheers… 😢✨

It was a performance where I had to hold back my overflowing, impossible to describe feelings.

I watched the video [of the performance] later,

Both myself and all the members, we were able to smile and laugh from the bottom of our hearts, thanks to the people who came to see us…

People who watched on TV as well, people who watched it on streaming because it was not shown on your local channels too,

Truly, thank you so much 🥺

Miuna definitely!! watched as well 👀💕

One heart, [one mind] ✨

[T/L note: the expression used for ‘one heart’ (‘心は1つ’) refers to a moment where two or more things come together as one. In this case, Cocona and Miuna’s feelings unified, resulting in ‘one heart, one mind’]

Thank you for reading [my] blog today as well ✨

Before I go to sleep? While I am taking a bath, I say “Thank you very much for today ✨✨” and only then do I go to bed.
