Dark Wakanya ?笑lol Matsumoto Wakana (23.05.14)

Good evening！I'm Matsumoto Wakana🙉

Thank you very much for your comments 😊

Takosen、about half of you said that you've eaten it before！

I guess it's something that people outside of Osaka aren't that familiar with？🤔

It's delicious so please try it if you come across it！

Today was、a live in Ehime prefecture！

My first visit to Shikoku！

And、my first live show with cheers during one of our solo tours！！

I've been looking forward to it for ages、and then about 2 minutes b before the show started、I could hear everyone cheering and calling their respective oshis' names、which made me super duper emotional 🥹

I ended up crying in the wings、、、🥲

And、I could hear all of your calls from the moment we stepped out on stage too、I was just too happy。。。

It was a performance where I appreciated each and every song！！

I won't forget this feeling、and I'll continue to work hard to give you this kind of energetic performance！

Thank you for calling 「Wakanya！」！

Please continue to support me from here on too！

I had lots of fun！I'm so happy！

Thank you very much🤗

Dark Mikyan

My older sister bought this for me when she went on a trip to Ehime prefecture、and it seemed perfect、so I brought it with me！😂

I also saw several “Dark Mikyans” in the audience 笑笑lollol

Also、we received these “kawachi-bankan pomelos ” from Kawamura-san！🍊

Moreover、from Kawamura-san's dad、we received strawberry daifuku、sweet potato tempura、and sweet potato fries、and they were all super delicious！！！

Thank you very much！

I'll end today's blog here (๑･̑◡･̑๑)

Today、we played lots of card games in the dressing room😙

It was fun！

See ya！

sunday six!

typical monday six for me cause i forgot yesterday was sunday lol i was tagged by @four-white-trees and @overdevelopedglasses woo! thank you! i will tag everyone else i usually tag @c-cw-f-saeko @fire-tempers-steel @futilecombat @passthroughtime (think that's everyone? lmk if u want to be tagged/untagged) (share if you want don't if you don't as usual HI)

sharing something different cause i wasn't feeling well this weekend and i have this written already. little extra thing from two birds that expands on the letters kuwana and reiko wrote to each other. kind of long but i don't like it enough to post so just take the whole thing gosh!

To Kusumoto-san,

How are you? I'm sorry I haven't written yet. I just figured out how this works in the midst of moving around. Ehime is a nice place. Far, temperate. The people in Masaki are a little too friendly. Not sure I could say the same about Matsuyama, though, I guess that's the city to a stranger. It seems silly to say, but I hope you're making some friends, if you can.

When we first drove in, a seagull shat on my car. Right on the windshield! I almost killed us both. I know you just jumped at the thought, but we're really okay. Mitsuru made fun at me for getting so startled. He's a good kid. He's a lot like you and nothing like me. Thank God. Despite our differences I think we're getting along.

We came to Matsuyama for a bit. We wanted to pop in and see you but they told us it doesn't work that way. That day it really hit that you were in prison, and not just away on a terrible vacation. I guess I'll never get over missing you. It really upset Mitsuru, so I took him to do tourist stuff instead. It was nice because a lot of people visit those areas, so the wheelchair wasn't really a problem like it is on these gravely rural roads. We met the mascot, Mikyan, and took a picture with him. I'm sure it fell out when you tore open this envelope. Did you know Ehime is famous for its mandarins? They really won't let you forget it! The photo was just going to be of Mitsuru, but this lady behind me said she could take a photo of the both of us, and I got too shy to say no. I'd never do that! Maybe I'm a changed man after all. Anyways, you have the both of us now—though it wasn't like you didn't before.

Mitsuru gave me a haircut. I look ridiculous. You can see it in the photo, right? I would have done a better job blindfolded, but he seemed proud of it, so I kept it. His hair looks pretty choppy now, but not out of revenge. I just suck at cutting hair. Did I tell you that he's trying to get his high school diploma? What a dedicated young man you've raised. I technically still have my teaching license, so I've been helping. Feels good. It's weird. Whenever I help him, I remember why I became a teacher in the first place. Ironic, isn't it? I want to tell you everything but I'll save it for the next time we see you. I'm sorry for cutting it so short, but I have a favor to ask you.

The nurses in Ijincho explained a bunch of stuff to me about Mitsuru's condition and printed it out. It's expectedly massive. Sorry to be a pain, but would you mind taking a look at it and tell me what to do? Advice? I can't make sense of it all. Or maybe I refuse to believe it. Is he really hurt so badly? What does he think of all this? I wonder about it. I wonder about it a lot. He seems fine, but then I look at all his X-rays and blood tests and I don't know what to think. How do I get him too eat? To grab things? To smile? I'm taking it one step at a time, but these technical terms are a big hurdle. You can read it, right? You've always been so much smarter than me. I'm sorry again. I'm lost. Thank you. I'm running out of room. They've got a limit on paper for prison letters. Seems strict.

Mitsuru wanted to say:

M iSsyou Mo M

- Mi Tsu ru

He's got a damn strong grip on his pencil. You'd be proud.

Until then,

Yu

Kitakata,

It's good to finally hear from you. I'm doing as well as I can. You seem to be the same. I checked a map of Masaki to try and place you two. It seems like a nice town. Are you getting used to the short buildings and the little beach?

I've been friendly with some of the other inmates, and the seagulls here do the same, but I've been safer than you.

I got your picture. How cute. Your haircut isn't so bad, he did a good job.

I looked at the documents. I know what you mean. I expect you already know to use the feeding tube and how to bathe him. It's not surprising he did not respond well to the catheter. I wouldn't either.

Firstly, Mitsuru has anterograde amnesia. That means he has a very difficult time forming short term memory, even if his long term memory is intact. Remember when you told me he didn't know your name, even though you told him earlier? That's why. I'm not sure why he doesn't remember your face from before. I suppose that's a fortunate mystery. You may have noticed the nurses doing this, but if you tell him the same things over and over again, he'll have an easier time forming new memories. He knows what to call you now because you said it so many times. I'm sure he knows I'm in prison because the nurses told him many times, too. That's what I get.

I'm sure you're well aware of his mental health. He seems to go up and down a lot, I bet. Like his body, his brain is suck at seventeen. Doesn't he seem so... frozen in time to you? He's like an old doll, destined to be a kid forever. I'd be jealous if that was the end of it. The nurses observed that he sometimes behaves like a much younger child. Have you seen him suck his thumb? Does he tug at you when he wants your attention? Hug you at night? It's an acute stress response. He's defending his body from his mind—that's what that means.

Lastly, his food. It's not very difficult to do. Steam it for thirty minutes. If you lose track of time and think you've cooked it for too long, add another ten minutes. I did that when he was little. He hated vegetables until they weren't shaped much like vegetables anymore. He'd swallow his food whole to hurry up and play outside again, so boil it thoroughly. It should be the consistency of chewed gum or silt. Try it yourself, add salt if you hate it. He doesn't like broccoli. No broccoli. Like everything else, he's still relearning how to chew. Don't push him. He’s sensitive. You know that already, just like you know how to do all this other stuff. You have good intuition, and great memory, and it helps that Mitsuru seems to love you. Even still, don't push him. No broccoli. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't expect me to say anything else, I'll see you soon.

Kusumoto Reiko

Special！！！！Yumigeta Ako (23.11.28)

Good evening 🌝

I'm Yumigeta Ako 🛑

Thank you very much for your comments yesterday！

Arghー I just couldn't get to sleep early last night！！！

I told you to but I couldn't do it myself…

Well whatever、these things happen

...

Also today was our 1st day at Yokohama Arena！！！

Morning Musume。'23 Concert Tour Autumn

「Neverending Shine Show」 SPECIAL

Thank you very muchー！！！！

I felt so emotional today……

I'm so glad I got to see this scenery

I knew Yokohama Arena was big、but I was still surprised by just how huge it was。But it meant I could see wayyyyy more of your penlights！！！

So when I first stepped out on stage I was overwhelmed by all of you and your penlights and the size、but I tried to let go of that feeling

I just kept telling myself 「Don't mess up Don't mess up Don't mess up Don't mess up」。

Since we were all wearing ear monitors I knew the other members couldn't hear me〜

But thanks to that I was able to enjoy the rest of my time on stage、which I'm glad about

I mean I was still nervous though〜

Did you all have funー？？

I was also able to take part in the MC！

Looking back on this tour we've really done so muchー right〜！

I've learned a lot😊 And had lots of fun〜

So with this tour and our summer tour

There are 8 more prefectures that I've visited for the first time！

Fukuoka、Hokkaido、Ehime、Miyagi、Iwate、Kagoshima、Shimane、Hiroshima！

The sky in Fukuoka was so beautiful！It was so impressive that everyone was taking photos and videos on the busー I really remember this moment (*^^*)

And the ramen was delicious！

Then it was already snowy in Hokkaido…！

Ehime's Mikyan-chan was so cute😍

In Miyagi I came to love beef tongue

In Iwate the beautiful paddy fields warmed my heart😊

In Kagoshima we saw a beautiful rainbow before the performance✨ The sky was so huge！And the steamed fish stew bun was delicious！

In Shimane we all talked about marriage！

I had so much funー！！！！

Next time I definitely want to visit Izumo Taisha❤️‍🔥

Hiroshima is where I made my oyster debut🦪

Thank you very much for showing me the deliciousness of oysters🍋🦪

I discovered lots of new great things in lots of new places‼️

I wanna go overseas tooー！I'm sure it would be so exciting❤️‍🔥

Also the last day of our tour is finally tomorrow…

And it's the day of Fukumura-san's graduation from Morning Musume。…

I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about tomorrow、but I want to try and stay in a good place and never forget Fukumura-san's smile and the way she often praised me

So I want to be the best version of my self even better than yesterday and today ‼️

I'll do my best and power up💗

I'm so excitedー！

Everyone……

Make sure your penlights aren't dead……

⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆

Well then it's time for today's 【Gettaa Life】✨

Today！

After the performance I ate lots of the food we'd been provided withー！！！！

So cuteー！！！！！！！！

I went straight for the donut because it was so cute、and I chose my favourite chocolate cupcake💗

Here's a question。

Is the red bit under Santa's eyes his

「Mouth」？「Nose」？

I was just really curious、

So I turned to Nonaka-san because she was next to me in the dressing room and I said

「I think it could be a mouth、but I think it's his nose that's gotten red because of the cold」

And Nonaka-san went Huhー！I don't know！！

And then she said

「But I agree with you！」、

But then I suddenly thought

Of the song「Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer」

So maybe it's actually a reindeer in a Santa hat…？？？

And as I shared my deeper thinking with Nonaka-san she said

「Why don't you ask on your blog？！」

I'm so glad she guided me

So what do you think！！！！！！！

Tell me your opinion！！！

With your reasons！！！！！！

I bet it'll be interesting、I'm so excitedー✨

I Getted 「A strange donut」✨

If it's his nose does that mean his mouth is hidden in his beard…？

(´・д・｀)

That's all！This has been 【Gettaa Life】！

⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆

Until our tour finale！

Well then I'll see you tomorrow！

[crystalconfusions]

for my entire life i never really understood the appeal of cute characters like 'hello kitty'. i thought they were decent enough but nothing special, certainly not deserving of all the various merchandise surrounding them. but then i encountered this lil guy:

this is miykan. he's ehime prefecture's mascot. he is a mandarin orange dog. every single piece of prefecture media (including in my workplace) has mikyan on it. they make tons of different mikyans like

doctor and nurse mikyan:

onsen mikyan:

pilgrim mikyan:

theres also a couple other mikyans, namely 'dark mikyan' and 'komikyan'. they also recently made a new mikyan, 'dark komikyan'. i dont like these mikyans as much as the regular mikyan but they are still cool

i am obsessed with mikyan. i love him so much. he is cute as hell. i have bought so many random things with his face on it and will continue to do so as long as i am able. i am turning my car into the 'mikyan mobile' and am seriously considering spending a good portion of my extremely low yearly income to buy a mikyan license plate.

screw hello kitty, screw kumamon (scary mf), i dont care whatsoever about those things. mikyan is #1 in my heart.

I don't really hear about that much🤨 you know🤨

Since she is drawing next to me, I wont ask, and I'll leave it alone…🙊🙊

During todays live as well,

There was a scene where Kitagawa Rio-chan, was going to eat her beloved Harusan (?)

Yumigeta Ako-chan, was saying that Inoue liked Chocomint and Chiikawa, I don't know about either of those ingredients……and, I even tried eating some chiikawa (?)

Please don't eat Harusan, or chiikawa(?)

Various things were kinda funny today😂😂

Today, May 6th is, Inoue Haruka-chan's birthday🎂

Its her first birthday since joining Morning Musume, I was really glad to hear the Harusan calls
