Run Girls, Run! Blog: 9/15/17 My Favorite Things -Nanami-

Hi, everyone!

It's the one in charge of Friday's blogs, Acchan! ( ´﹀` ) Good work this week!

Now then, today's blog title is "My favorite things". What are they?! With that being said, I'd like to talk about it.

To tell the you the truth, of course I like WUG, but I also love i☆Ris! Man, I really like them a lot. It's really hard to explain how much I really love them, to be honest, but I love them! I first fell in love with i☆Ris in 2014, when I saw the anime Prism Paradise on air coincidentally. At that time, I was still a first year in highschool and I wanted to become a seiyuu. During that time I made it my goal to become a seiyuu. Seiyuus sing and dance, right? That thought never crossed my mind! When I heard PriPara's opening theme, I thought about this alot, but... Man, i☆Ris is amazing!!! They're cute, they can sing and dance, and they're amazing seiyuu! What should I do? I love them! ..is what it was like. After I heard 「Make it！」 for the first time, I learned to dance along with the TV Size by the next day! That's how obsessed I was with i☆Ris. And after learning a lot about i☆Ris, I also wanted to become a seiyuu who could sing and dance! That's why I really like and respect them, but I'm also extremely thankful for them. I never expected to audition for the same producing company that i☆Ris worked with! I am very blessed to be able to be a seiyuu like them. We three as Run Girls, Run! are blessed to have such wonderful seniors like i☆Ris and WUG! RGR will run as fast as we can to catch up to you one day,! ✄- - - - - - Cut - - - - - ✄

Now then following Hayamaru and Mocchi's of RGR Sweat Series... With that being said...??

Tada! Hm? I didn't sweat that much... wait, I did!? Although you can't see a lot, we sweat enough for two people! Afterwards, I was told that I looked like the type who doesn't sweat from their face a lot. I got sweaty from Hayamaru too. Thanks, Hayamaru!

All of RGR are working hard for the showcase event! General sales for the showcase event are on sale now! http://l-tike.com/rgr/ I hope you come see us!

And now... I've been waiting for this moment The Kyoto meet and greet! It's the day after tomorrow! I'm a bit worried about the weather, but I'm really looking forward to it!

Also, on the 17th, our fourth dance video will be released! There's a lot of fun things in it! Please enjoy the dance video and our meet and greet!

Well then, see you next week! Nanami (*´ ³ `)ﾉ

Run Girls, Run! Blog : 9/8/17 Happy Birthday! -Nanami-

We’re changing it up a bit! I’ll be focusing more on bigger projects (mostly subbing), so Rezozo is now taking over for RGR Blog! He’ll mainly be doing Acchan posts.

Hi, everyone! It's Acchan who does Friday's blogs!

Good work this week! Today is September 8th, which means... It's Takagi Miyu's birthday~!! It's Okamoto Miyu's birthday aswell~!! Happy birthday the two of you! The RGR blog is every other day but, if one of the other two got to say happy birthday I would've been jealous. Hahaha, a bit smug, no? Those two love Miyu, so seeing them happy makes me happy! I'll borrow their voices for now and say "Congratulations" from all 3 of us! I hope to wish you happy birthday when we meet in person! We are always a bit nervous and we can't talk properly and we never realize it That's when you say "What's wrong?" in such a soothing voice. You are seriously an angel Miyu! You've already hacked all of our hearts in RGR! ✄- - - - - - Cut - - - - - ✄ Also some time ago... I recieved a letter for the first time! Thank you so much! I cherished and took great care of it! One of them stood out and makes me want to go back to Nagano! To the writer I shall introduce to you.. Clean air! The air is so nice! It doesn't change much does it? You should come and savor it! I personally recommend coming to Nagano at night! It's always the first thing I notice after the train. It's the best. It feels like the forest is breathing! And the next day the night air is always different. With this you can taste Nagano's air properly. There are lots of other good places but, you have to enjoy the air first! is what I think. If you have the chance, please come visit! ✄- - - - - - Cut - - - - - ✄ Only 10 days left... The Kyoto meet and greet is slowly approaching! My heart won't stop beating! I can't wait to meet everyone on the 17th! Please take a look at this for more info! http://rungirlsrun.jp/news/detail.php?id=1052751

With that being said, see you next week! Nanami (*´ ³ `)ﾉ

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 8/23/17 Read it, read it☆( •ө• )Yuuka

Good afternoon! It's Morishima Yuuka ヾ(*´∀`*)ﾉ

This week, I have something to tell you all. Run Girls, Run!...

has finally met WUG! ｡･ﾟ(ﾟ⊃ω⊂ﾟ)ﾟ･｡

I'm so happy that this day has finally come.

I've said this before, but WUG has only talked about us on the radio and whatnot. We've never been able to have a direct conversation. My feelings for WUG kept growing even stronger, but...

It finally came.

The three of us joined in on their "Let's go! Do our best! Wake Up, Girls!!!"! I was really moved. Thank you so much! I felt like I was truly a member of "Wake Up, Girls! New Chapter".

I was so happy that when I went to greet them, my voice was shaking (+I was crying). I couldn't hold myself together...!!

Let's have fun from now on, as well. Please take good care of us...!!!

We all did the Ranga pose together as well...! Here's a picture of it. I'll treasure that moment (>﹏<)

Well, then, how about about we start φ(･∀･*)  this week's blog ☆彡

I've got a lot of things to talk about today (*-∀-*) It'll be a little long, but I have some good news at the end, so please read until then!

It's almost the end of August, so I want to look back on this summer¤ I made a lot of memories this summer! We had our announcement event on July 30th! And there was another thing that left a big impression on me.

I ate a ton of ice cream over the summer...ahh...

I woke up and had ice cream. I exercised and ate ice cream. I had ice cream before I went to bed. The ice cream was just playing with me. Especially the types that you can drink.

I ate so much every day, but I never got a stomachache! I always felt like I could eat more. I wonder how much I ate in a day...

That was me testing my limits.

But I should be more careful. (；•̀ω•́)

The picture is from when I found some ice cream while walking around Arashiyama ( ᵒ̴̶̷̤໐ᵒ̴̶̷̤ )♡ It had a lot of fruits inside of it, so it was really filling...it was delicious.

Also! This week is finally the special stage at Anisama's Keyaki Square!! I'm so happy, it'll be so fun! (； ･`ω･´)

I wrote about it in my blog last week, but to tell you the truth, I've been so excited that I can't stay calm...!

Anisama is something I look forward to every summer. If I haven't gone, summer isn't over yet! That's how much I love it!! But to be able to stand on the stage there in 2017 will surely make this a summer that I'll never forget! \(*ˊᗜˋ*)/ I'll make sure I don't regret this!

Let's end this summer on a high note!! (ง`0´)ง I hope it's sunny!

Everyone, make sure you're at Keyaki Square's stage at 12:15 PM (∩´︶`∩) Run Girls, Run! will do our best to make this an exciting event! ☆☆☆

Lastly, I have one more announcement! This is what you've all been waiting for.

It turns out...

Run Girls, Run! will be holding a meet and greet event at the 2017 Kyoto National Manga and Anime Fair!

It's in Kyotooooooo!! ( ＠ω＠ ) !! KyoMAF!!! And a meet and greet event!! I wonder if I'll be able to talk with a lot of you! I'm looking forward to it!! Phew, I've calmed down now.

To get in, buy one of the specific items at the link below at Gamers Kyoto!

You can also buy tickets at the door! Don't let this chance get away! o(≧▽≦)o

More information can be found here! http://rungirlsrun.jp/news/detail.php?id=1052751

Wow... I've been able to talk about meeting WUG, Anisama, and KyoMAF all in one blog... This is so cool...(Though there wasn't much compared to me talking about ice cream)

Well, then! That's is for this week's blog ♪ Thanks for reading this long essay ☆

Next week will be another picture of me and Acchan (*`･ω･*)♡

Yuuka ( •ө• )

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 8/21/17 Hayamaru on Mondays 4٩( 'ω' )وKoko

Koko-nnichiwa! Monday is finally here~! It's been raining a lot recently... Weather like this usually makes people feel blue, but I'm all fired up! Let's all do the same this week as well!٩( 'ω' )و

Ah, by the way, everyone! Did you see our dance cover video? "16-sai no Agape"!!! It's one of the songs I really love(*´∀`)♪ The choreography is really cute! But, there's a lot of jumping, so it's actually quite hard..."Agape" is difficult! But it's a fun song to dance to(=´∀｀)

Make sure to watch "Tachiagare" and "16-sai no Agape"!

The three of us during a lesson break( ´∀｀) We all have matching senses of fashion, so sometimes we match colors and styles lol Today we all wore white T-shirts!

To be honest, I said I was from Shizuoka Prefecture, but I'm actually from a city in the western part of it called Hamamatsu! And so! I want to tell you all a little about Hamamatsu!

When you think of Hamamatsu, there's unagi and motorcycles, Yamaha and Kawai... And the long running drama "Female Warlord Naotora" is filmed here as well! And the Hamamatsu Lake is really famous as well!

I went there over summer break!

There's a legend that a giant called Daidarabocchi was walking over a mountain, but he slipped, and his handprint turned into the lake! That's pretty cute(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

How is it? Isn't it so pretty~!!! It's also nice to take a ferry and go sightseeing on the lake!(о´∀`о) I hope you all come to visit once(*´∀`)♪

Well, everyone! You might know this already, but here is some information!

On Friday, August 25th at the Animelo Summer Live Venue, at Keyaki Square's event "-THE CARD- Stage", Run Girls, Run! will be appearing in "Anikara THE WORLD Special Talk Stage"!

It's Anisama, everyone! Anisama!! I'm so happy... We'll do our best, so please come and see us if you can! We'll be waiting for you ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

That's it for this week!

We'll wait for you at Anisama!＼＼٩( 'ω' )و //／／

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 8/18/17 Next week is...!?-Nanami-

Hello, everyone! It's Acchan, in charge of Fridays again(*´ ³ `)ﾉ

Continuing from last week... This week~...!!!

Tadaaa! I did my hair like Otome, who Mocchi plays!

I usually don't have twintails, so this is a little embarassing (///ˊㅿˋ///)!

But Mocchi and Hayamaru have twintails during lessons a lot of the time...!

I'm jealous of them having matching hairstyles, so maybe I should wear twintails to lessons one day...(///ˊㅿˋ///)

By the way, I'm stuck between letting my hair down or putting it up in a ponytail!

It usually depends on my mood, but I typically have my hair down... But sometimes my hair flies around while I'm dancing!! This is all depends on how I feel!!!!

Right! Did you all read the blog post on Wednesday? There was a little girl who said that she had never had matcha, even though she was from Kyoto...I remember that being really shocking( ´﹀` )!

But, she finally got to drink it!!

Actually, since I was little, I took lessons in the traditional tea ceremony. Because of that, I drank matcha really often, so to hear that was really surprising!

"She lives in the home of matcha...! And it tastes so good...!!!" ...is what I thought during the audition as I sat behind Mocchi.

It's so nostalgic that it makes me smile(o´罒`o)

By the way, the first time I met Hayamaru I was really surprised when she told me "I'm 15 years old".

After that, I was so flustered! I kept trying to run away from reality( ･ω･ )/

But when I talked with her, she was so friendly, so I remember being really relieved( *˘ω˘)

This is a little sudden, but! I want to show you all something that I bought recently that I really like〜♡!

"It'll be autumn soon...I want a light pink lipstick..." is what I thought, so I bought this!!

I'm wearing it in the first picture in this blog, it's a really cute pink cute, so it gets me excited(∩ˊᵕˋ∩)!

Also, also! The event will be this day next week〜ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)!!

On August 25th, at Animelo Summer Live 2017's venue, we'll be at "Anikara THE WORLD Special Talk Stage" at Keyaki Square's "-THE CARD- Stage".

Animelo Summer Live! Waah, what should I do! I'm already excited, but also nervous!

If you can, let's enjoy Anisama together♪ http://anisama.tv/2017/outside/

Well, then, I'll see you next week! Atsugi Nanami(*´ ³ `)ﾉ

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 7/31/17 Nice to meet you٩( 'ω' )وKoko

Nice to meet you, everyone! The Run Girls, Run! blog will begin starting today! The first one to commemorate it will be...

Me, Hayashi Koko! I'll be updating it every Monday, so please look forward to it! ♪( ´θ`)

First off, I'll introduce myself a little bit ٩( 'ω' )و I'm a third year junior high student from Shizuoka Prefecture, and I'm 15 years old! My birthday is May 15th, so! That means! It's the same as Yoppi-san!!! Hehehehe, I'm happy, that's awesome! (lol) Also, I'm in my school's brass band, and I'm in charge of the percussion section, and I play the drums! To be able to be a voice actress in the Wake Up, Girls! production alongside the WUG members I always looked up to...I'm so happy!(´∀`*) I'll try the best I can!

Well then, to change the topic, yesterday was the announcement event! To the people who came to see it, and those who watched it on LINE Live and Niconama, thank you very much! I was really nervous at first...backstage, we were huddled in a circle, telling each other "It'll be fine, it'll be fine"! But, when we got up on the stage... Everyone's passion was amazing! I was really happy...! I realized once again that the WUGners who did a lot of calls for us were really warm. Thanks to you all, I got over my nervousness, and the event was really fun. Thank you very much!!!

Yasuno Kiyono, who hosted the event, was very kind. When I introduced myself to her, I choked up, and it was really embarassing, but Yasuno-san smiled at me and told me gently, "Take it easy, it's fine!", and I'm really thankful for that! Yasuno-san is really an angel!

The director and the three people from MONACA also encouraged us right before, and were even with us on the stage...! Thank you very much ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

We took a picture with Director Itagaki, the people from MONACA, and Yasuno-san っ(´∀`=)

Also, to tell you the truth, before we sang, we got a video message from everyone in WUG! They told us "You don't need to be nervous~"! It was such a cute and warm video message that I felt like crying even though we were about to go on stage (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) Wake Up, Girls! As expected, I love you!!

To be able to come a little bit closer to the WUG that I look up to, I'll work hard from now on! Everyone, please cheer us on m(._.)m

Then, see you next week ＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／ Koko

Run Girls, Run! Blog 8/25/17 Anisama!! -Nanami-

Good morning! Good afternoon! It's Acchan, in charge of Fridays( ੭ ˙ᗜ˙ )੭

The three of us spent a lot of time together this week, so I'm really happy( ˶´⚰︎`˵ )

How has your week been, everyone? In any case, good work this week...!♡

Well, then! Today was the Animelo Summer Live 2017 Anikara THE WORLD Special Stage!

It was a really fiery and passionate event!

The three of us were all sweaty!

Now that it's over, it feels great!

It was really, really fun!

Before we went on, I was really nervous, Backstage, we closed our eyes and held hands in a circle while we waited! Almost like a ritual!

We haven't stood in front of everyone since the WonFes announcement event, so it was really nervewracking, but everyone's voices and smiles were so encouraging!

Thank you so, so much!(*´˘`*)

The first song was Little Challenger, which we performed for the first time!

How was itꉂꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)?

I really like this song, so I wanted to do it, but I never thought we actually would, so I was really happy(o´罒`o)

I was so nervous at the beginning when we were facing away, but when I turned around and saw everyone's smiles, I thought "I've got to make this an awesome event"!( ˊᵕˋ* )

As I thought, having a concert with you all there is wonderful!!

The second song was 16-sai no Agape!

This song has really cute lyrics and choreography, so I really like it!

I was supposed to be performing, but I still had a lot of fun!!

By this time, we were covered in sweat, and our hair looked like it was just covered in shampooꉂꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)!

I used to not sweat a lot, but for some reason, I've starting sweating a lot recently!

How was it, everyone?? Did you work up a sweat today as well( ˊᵕˋ* )?

And finally, the third song was... Tachiagare!( ´﹀` )

I love the atmosphere during Tachiagare!, but have you all felt it as well?

The first time I saw it live, the atmosphere in the venue changed almost immediately. It was really cool...

I want to put on a performance like that! It's a song that I have a lot of strong feelings about!

All of us in Ranga wanted to find our interpretation of Tachiagare, and in order to express that, we practiced hard, and to be able to get that across to so many people makes me really happy!(∩ˊᵕˋ∩)･*

Well, then! There's two more days of this fiery Anisama!

On top of that, on the day after tomorrow, August 27th, WUG will be performing!! It'd be nice if we could perform there one day... But for now, we'll cheer them on with all we've got!

Take care to not get heatstroke or be injured, and have fun without regrets!

Thank you so much for today!

I'll see you next week, then! Nanami(*´ ³ `)ﾉ

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 8/16/17 Charging power☆( •ө• )Yuuka

Konnichi-waffle٩(　`ω´　)۶

I'm Morishima Yuuka☆

It's already the middle of August, and it feels like time has gone by so fast.

Well, then! The other day, I went to a shrine in Kyoto! It's called the "Kurumazaki Shrine". Do you all know about it?

There’s a famous place there called the "Entertainment Shrine", and I actually went there to visit before my audition(,,> <,,)♡

So this time, I went back to report my success!

Mocchi charging up her power at the shrine( ¤̴̶̷̤́ ‧̫̮ ¤̴̶̷̤̀ )bｲｪｲｲｪｲ

Kyoto really is a nice place, so I always hope that there are more anime and voice actress events here(〃ﾟДﾟ〃) It's strange that there are so few...sob

Because of that, I always have to travel far to go to concerts and events(〃ﾟДﾟ〃)

But even without those kind of events, you can still go on trips to wonderful places, can't you?

I hope you all have the chance to do something like that(*´ｰ`*).｡o I'll work hard so we can have events in many different places!

Going back to the story, during the final examination, I answered that "I'm from Kyoto, but I've never had matcha tea before" and I really surprised Hayamaru and Acchan. But finally...

I drank some~~！！！(๑´ㅂ`๑)！！！

It's called a matcha shake. Even the name sounds delicious. There was a lot of cream on top. To think that matcha would be this rich...I'm looking forward to it again...

And that's that. I had my fill in Kyoto...

The three of us in Ranga were talking about wanting to go somewhere together, so when we went to Kyoto, we ate delicious food, ate delicious food, and ate...

Ah! We did nothing but eat!!!(； ･`д･´)

The three of us all love eating ❁!

That reminds me, there was a time that we went to go eat okonomiyaki and monjayaki after one of our lessons, and we had ordered a lot, but before the food arrived we started discussing, "Eh? Is this enough? Is it really enough food?"(｡-艸-｡)

Once she saw it, Hayamaru was so happy that she started gobbling down the food(○'н'○) And I keep remembering that Acchan was always nibbling on something♡

Remembering that scene is making me smile while I write this, so I'll jot down that I like girls while they're eating(*∩ω∩)

Ah, we ended up ordering some more after♪lol We ate so much!!

I guess this is a sign of how Ranga is growing!!

...or not. ( 'ω' ;) We've got to grow into wonderful voice actresses!:(っ`ω´c):

♡♡

Oh!

The thing I was talking about last week,

the "Dance Cover Part 2!!"

Have you all seen it??(/♡∀♡)/

Part 2 was "16-sai no Agape", which I really love(*ˇ3ˇ)～♪

The song and dance are really cute, so I'm honored to be able to make a cover...!!

While we were practicing this song for the announcement event, we kept consulting WUG performances as we practiced.

Now we end up watching the videos in order to practice...

"Without motivation like that, I can't practice!"

That's how it was a few times for me.

I love the WUG version of Agape(´,,•ω•,,｀)

Lastly...some information! It seems that Run Girls, Run! will be appearing at another event! We'll be at "Anikara THE WORLD Special Stage", in Keyaki Square's "THE CARD Stage" during Animelo Summer Live 2017 on August 25th!

Details for the event are here♪ http://anisama.tv/2017/outside/ If you all have time, please check it out!

Well, then! I'll see you next week☆☆☆

Yuuka( •ө• )

Hayamaru on Mondays 3٩( 'ω' )وKoko

Koko-nnichiwa, everyone! It's Monday, so how are you all getting along?

Right now, I'm on summer break, so I went out with my family! I got a copy of "One in a Billion" by Wake Up, May'n(*´꒳`*)

Here it is! I was so happy that I took this photo during the car ride back It's such a cute song, isn't it! The movie is so cute too...(*´∇｀*)

I want us to do an anime collab one day too...! I'll work hard٩( 'ω' )و

By the way, everyone!!! Have you read "Wake Up, Girls! Eternal Senses" on KADOKAWA Comic Clear yet!?

Ayumu-chan...! The character I play is in the manga!! I've never felt this elated before... I'm soooooo happy!!!

Ayumu-chan, Itsuka-chan and Otome-chan are so cute╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ They feel like real middle schoolers, and it makes them seem just like myself. I want to read more stories about the three of them! Thanks for drawing such cute pictures of themヽ(´▽`)/

It's an important story that ties the previous works and the New Chapter together, so please check it out, everyone! I think you'll come to understand us in Ranga a little bit more as well! http://www.comic-clear.jp/comic.aspx?c=72 ↑For those who haven't read it yet, please use this URL! Thank you m(._.)m

I want everyone to know more about us. I can't wait until the showcase event!

And so! Let me tell a story about the first time the three of us met!

The first time we met was in May. I remember by heart beating so fast when I opened the door to our lesson studio...

And waiting there was! Mocchi and Acchan(*´ω`*)

I read my audition lines at the same time as Mocchi, so I remembered her, but she was so small, and her eyes were so big! I thought that she must be younger than me, lol. And when I entered, Acchan looked at me and said "Wow, a cute girl is here!" lol

The two of them were really cute as well! So I felt really out of place, and ended up sitting in the middle lol And the three of us heard that we had passed the audition, so we were so happy! So we went to a nearby pasta store and ate together!(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

Oh, we were ordering pasta, and I chose my favorite one. And when the waiter came over, this happened...

Mocchi: I'll have this Me: Ah, I'll have that too Acchan: Really? Me too

And so!!! We were supposed to choose by ourselves, but we all ended up getting the same pasta! We had just met, but we were already in sync. (*´-`) I thought it was fate.

After that: "What anime do you like?" "What WUG songs do you like?" We talked a lot about things like that... The otaku talk was really exciting.

At that time, we didn't really know much, so it just a vague "Let's all work hard together!" at the time. But now, after so many lessons, and the announcement event, "Let's make Ranga a valuable part of this production!" is what we're aiming for now!

If the three of us go out to eat again, will we be able to talk about something else? Once everything's calmed down, let's all go out to eat! Eating meat this time sounds good(@￣ρ￣@)

Here's a picture from the first edition of the RGR food meetings!

Lastly, here's part 2 of my self-introduction!

Actually, I really like to draw!! I'm the same as Ayumu-chan(=´∀`) I copy characters I like, and sometimes I draw my own original characters, I often end up doodling on my school notes and printouts( ；´Д`) This isn't good!! lol But, that's just how much I love drawing! Even though I'm not really good at it(〃ω〃)

Here's a quick sketch of Hayashi Ayumu-chan!

How is it...? It's my first time showing others my drawings, so I'm a little embarassed!!

How good is Ayumu-chan at drawing? I'll draw a lot so I won't lose to Ayumu-chan＿φ(￣ー￣ ) From now of, I'll draw a lot of characters, and show them to everyone! I'd be happy if you looked forward to it!

We'll end on an "OK" from Hayamaru!

See you next week＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 8/11/17 Mountain Day!-Nanami-

Yaaaaay! It's Friday! Good work this week, everyone!

This week, I tried doing my hair like Hayashi Ayumi~(* ॑꒳ ॑* )! How is it...( *ˊᵕˋ)?

Today, August 11th, is Mountain Day! If we're talking about mountains, it has to be my hometown, Nagano Prefecture! For 360 degrees, wherever you look, it's mountains! Mountains Mountains!

Looking at that gives me a Gestaltzerfall effect... Sorry for thinking about such strange things, everyone...(´•ω•ˋ) I said 360 degrees, but it's not an exaggeration. Nagano Prefecture is really surrounded by mountains!

Also, the Hokushin Gogaku(Five Northern Peaks). There's Mt. Madarao, Mt. Myoko, Mt. Kurohime, Mt. Togakushi, and Mt. Iizuna!

But where I'm from, we don't really call them the Five Northern Peaks. Instead, we take the first character from each of their names, and call then Mamikutoi٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Along with learning to ski and experiencing farming, students must come visit the mountains, right( ˊᵕˋ* )?

We started on a difficult topic, but I hope you all learned a little about the hometown I love so much(* ॑꒳ ॑* )!!

Nagano is really a nice place~! People get the impression that it's all rural, but Nagano Station is beautiful, too!

You can see it in the picture, but I think one of the charm points of Nagano is that are never many people in front of the station!

I hope we can hold a concert there one day( *˘ω˘)♡

Hmm? Someday...if we're talking about hometowns...

The hometown of Atsugi Itsuka-chan, Sendai, had a WUG 4th Live Tour performance, didn't it ~(*˙꒳˙*)‧⁺✧︎*

It seems they had a JoJo collab, and they covered "Crazy Noisy Bizzare Town"!

It must have been a really intense performance...!

It was just for one night, so I didn't get a chance to see it, but doing that collab there has a lot of meaning, so doing it only once makes it incredibly precious( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈  )!

Also, TUNAGO!

I watched the choreography video on YouTube, and it was really moving!

I hope that one day we can be like WUG, and become one with our performances( *˘ω˘)!

Well, then, let's change the topic... Mocchi talked about this in her blog on Wednesday, but have you all read "Wake Up, Girls! Eternal Senses"?

I was excited for what happens after the movies, so I decided to read it!

Ranga has already made its appearance...! "Waaah! I got to see Itsuka-chan's various expressions( ；∀；)!!" is how I felt while I was reading.

I even started laughing to myself without thinking while I was reading(///ˊㅿˋ///)

The next chapter will be on September 1st... so that's really far away(∩ˊᵕˋ∩)!!!

Please take a look at it from this URL!! http://www.comic-clear.jp/comic.aspx?c=72

I think I'll go read it again(o´罒`o)

Also, lastly, I snapped this photo during a break in our lessons.

I said "I want to take a photo of all 3 of us", and the two of them came over and did a cute pose(o´罒`o)♡

Well, then, see you next week! Nanami(*´ ³ `)ﾉ

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 8/7/17 Hayamaru on Mondays٩( 'ω' )وKoko

Koko-nnichiwa! Everyone, are you doing alright with the typhoon?! It's especially strong in Shizuoka... Please be careful, everyone!( ；´Д｀)

There was WUG 4th Live Tour on Saturday, wasn't thereヽ(*´∀`) Unfortunately, I couldn't go, but...I watched a DVD!

Here it is!~ "Wake Up Girls! Green Leaves Records"!! I've had things to do like final exams and the announcement event, so I never watched it, but I finally did!ｖ（＾＿＾ｖ）

There were things about WUG that differed from the anime! And it felt even more realistic than the anime!

I-1 Club was so good, too... "Knockout" was great, wasn't it!(*´꒳`*) "So that was the song Miyu was talking about during the audition..." was how I feltヽ(；▽；) Also, I think the anime had a scene where MayuC talks to Shiraki-san when she's leaving I-1, but the scene not in the anime when you see Shihocchi's relationship with her...!! That was so passionate!! I broke down in tears!!!

I think I'll get too worked up if I say more, so I'll leave it here...（￣+ー￣） I want to watch it and talk about it with Acchan and Mocchi sometime! lol

Next, I'll be talking about our debut concert again...

On the day before the concert, we stayed in a nearby hotel, but we were all sleeping in seperate beds.

"We want to sleep together!" So we thought about how we could do it.

"Oh! That's it!" "Let's push our beds close together!"

With Acchan's help, we successfully pushed the beds together And we were able to sleep together(´∀`*)

But, in order for us to sleep so close together, my back ended up really hurting...

Here's a map of what happened.

It was a little tight...lol But it was fun, so it's fine!! (Of course, we put it all back to normal before we left!)

We also went in the really big bath! It felt like we were on a girl's trip, and I'm glad we were able to relax before the event(´∀`*) The three of us together are really powerful. I hope we can go on a girl's trip together sometime( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Oh, I think you've all seen this already, but out nicknames are...

Me→Hayamaru Morishima Yuuka-chan→Mocchi Atsugi Nanami-san→Acchan

That's it! We recently calling each other by those names, but to tell you the truth, we're still not really used to it...(´-ω-`) So, I'd be happy if you called us by those names(´ε｀ )Thank you very much!

Also, something happy happened! I'm always reading the blogs that WUG writes, but this time they all wrote about us (´；ω；`) I'm so thankful! Just like MayuC said, WUG is something unique that the seven of them created together... We still don't know if we'll be able to make Ranga unique, so we're a little anxious, but we'll get excited and work our hardest! Ah, also, I've been told that the live house's ceiling is low, so I'll be careful!

I took a picture of myself after lessons! The one in the back is Mocchi.

That's it for this week! See you next week＼＼٩( 'ω' )و //／／

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 9/1/17 September! -Nanami-

Hello, everyone! It's Acchan, in charge of Fridays.

Good work this weekꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)

Starting today, it's September( ´﹀` )

For those of you whose summer breaks are ending, for those of you who still have a little bit of summer break left, for those of you who are always working hard at your jobs,

Everyone is always working so hard!! I want to praise you for that.

Autumn can be such a sorrowful season... It's the time of year when everyone feels a little down!(´×ω×`)

But there's a lot of delicious food! And the scenery of the leaves turning red is beautiful! There's that unique crispness and fragrance in the air, and it always feels like something will happen, so I really love autumn(∩ˊᵕˋ∩)

If you look around, you'll surely see small pieces of happiness falling around you. Don't ignore them, but pick them up and have a wonderful autumn( *ˊᵕˋ)!

Changing the subject...

Hayamaru talked a little about it at Anisama's Keyaki Square, but...

The dubbing for Wake Up, Girls! New Chapter has begun~٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Every week is so exciting~~

I've always admired voice actresses, and now I finally get to be one! This is really, really cool.

As a member of Wake Up, Girls!, I want to follow in the footsteps of my seniors, learn a lot, and grow a lot( *˘ω˘)♡

Also, I want to one day be able to help them liven up the New Chapter...I'm quietly getting fired up!

And personally, I want to be able to show everyone who's watching the cute side of the normally quiet and cool Itsuka-chan... I'm getting really fired up( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧

Anyhow! Wake Up, Girls! New Chapter will begin broadcasting on October 9th! Please enjoy it!

That's all I wanted to say( *ˊᵕˋ)

By the way, everyone! Do you remember something that happened this time last week...(o´罒`o)?

Yup! That's right!

We performed at Anisama's Keyaki Square!

It was such a happy moment~! My excitement still hasn't died down!!

I looked at the WUG blog posts... just by reading their words and seeing those pictures, I felt their immense emotion and passion

I hope that one day, Ranga can stand on Saitama Super Arena's massive stage!

But this summer, I was really happy to stand on the stage at Keyaki Square!

The outdoor stage felt so summery! It was the best! Everyone's energy was awesome too!! Thank you so much!!!

If we're to stand in SSA one day, it surely will be because of everything we're doing right now.

The three of us will become much, much better, and one day be able to put on an amazing event( ´﹀` )

In order to do that, we have to work hard at our lessonsꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)

Lastly, here's an announcement! The newest chapter of Wake Up, Girls! Eternal Senses was released today!

WUG is in it! And Ranga also makes an appearance in this newest chapter!

Itsuka-chan's love for I-1 is on full display this time! Even for Itsuka-chan, who is really good at dancing, I-1 club's dances must be so difficult...

She's a wonderful guest character this time, as well! Thank you very much!

For those of you who haven't read it yet, please check it out here! http://www.comic-clear.jp/comic.aspx?c=72

Well, then, see you next week! Nanami(*´ ³ `)ﾉ

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 8/4/17 Blog START! -Nanami-

Nice to meet you, everyone! The person in charge of Fridays on the Run Girls, Run! blog is...

Atsugi Nanami, the voice actress of Atsugi Itsuka!

People often call me "Atsuki", but it should be pronounced "Atsugi"!

Pleased to meet you( ˊᵕˋ* )

The three of us in RGR(Ranga) will be updating this blog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! In other words, I get to wrap up the week's activities!(｡>ω<｡) Once you've finished working hard for the week, if you could remember to come and read, I'd be really happy!!

Also, also...! The WUG member in charge of Fridays is Nanami-san, so it makes me really happy, and also really nervous..!!

Well, then, I'll introduce myself now ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

I'm 19 years old, born in Nagano Prefecture, on October 11th, Heisei Year 9! In other words, 9.10.11!

That makes it really easy to remember, so I'd be happy if you did(๑ơ ₃ ơ)♡

I like to dance! I've been doing classical ballet for over 10 years, since I was about 3 years old♪ But to be honest...when I was young, I would always cry on my way to ballet class...!lol

Also, I like reading! Amongst others, I love the stories that Nisio Isin writes! All the peculiar terms he uses...and the story developments that give you goosebumps...! Aren't they great~(o´罒`o)

This should be fine for a self-introduction... I want to look back on the WonFes announcement event the other day!

First off, to the people at the event, as well as those on Niconama and LINE LIVE who watched over us! Thank you very much!!

Wow... It's already in the past, but when I think back to it, I still get nervous...(；・∀・)

The day after the announcement, a lot of my nervous feelings were still lingering, so I got in touch with the other two and asked them "What do I do? I can't calm down!" lol

It turns out that they felt the same way, so it was relieving(///ˊㅿˋ///)

That's how nervous we were for the announcement! But we were able to push those feelings aside, and we had so much fun...I was really, really happy about that!

I'm thankful to all the WUGners who were able to create that kind of atmosphere for us( ；∀；) Thank you so much!

To stand on that stage and talk about Itsuka-chan's backstory, and realizing that I was part of the Wake Up, Girls! production that I love so much, it made me really happy ( ˃ ⌑ ˂)

To prepare for the WonFes announcement event, we watched WUG performances over and over... We tried our best to copy them, but I don't think we were able to present ourselves like WUG would.

Even before I had auditioned, I thought they were amazing...but once I tried doing it myself, I fully realized how amazing they are.

Before we went on stage, we got a video message from WUG cheering us on. It was cute, amusing, cool, warm, kind, dazzling, and so very precious....! "Nnnnnn, WUG is the best｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡!!!" is what my heart cried out.

We look up to them so much, so to become as amazing as WUG, the three of us want to grow and become just like them. Please take good care of Run Girls, Run! from now on!

Lastly, an announcement! It seems like our first RGR event will be a showcase event(∩ˊᵕˋ∩)･*

Don't forget this! The first event will be on September 24th (Sunday)! But the RGR that's just begun doesn't have a base yet!

In that case! How about you help us make one( ˃ ⌑︎ ˂ )!?

For example, help us think of a slogan for the RGR members...

How about that...?lol Since we have the chance, we should think of one together... Doesn't that sound like a good idea!?

I hope we can make this an event where everyone can participate and have fun. But I seem to be worrying about this all on my own(o´罒`o)!

The three of us will think of ways to make this a wonderful event where everyone can have fun! RGR's first event! Please come if you can <3

For more information, please look here! http://rungirlsrun.jp/news/detail.php?id=1051928

This post has gotten long, but thank you so much for reading up to here!!

Finally, here's a picture from when were were playing around during a lesson break!

See you next week! Atsugi Nanami(*´ ³ `)ﾉ

Run Girls, Run! Blog: 8/2/17 Otome’s Yuukaヽ( *´ω`* )/

Nice to meet you, everyone! The second person to commemorate the start of the Run Girls, Run! blog will be~...

The voice actress of Morishima Otome, me, Morishima Yuuka!☆ clapclap

I'm in charge of Wednesdays, so I'd be happy if you came to read (๑´ω`๑).｡oO Please treat me well!

Well, then, let's get right into it. First off is my self introduction!! Let's begin!!

I was born on March 16th, 1997,

I'm a 20 year old third year college student,

born and raised in Kyoto, I've spent 20 years here as an authentic Kyoto girl!

On Otome's profile, it's written that she likes photography, and actually, I also really like photography as well! I think I'll post a lot of my pictures on these blog posts so you can remember who I am (p`･ω･´q)

That should be good enough for now☆

The other day at WonFes, our group was announced.

Well...actually...I was really nervous... I was covered in sweat(；•̀ω•́)lol

I really get to be a member of the Wake Up, Girls! anime...

I get to grab hold of my happiness...

I had watched Wake Up, Girls! long before I ever passed the audition. I watched them on that screen, and sometimes went to karaoke by myself and sang out "WOO YEAH!"...

And now that I get to be a part of Wake Up, Girls!, I'm so excited that I wish I could tell the me back then about it!

At the WonFes stage, so many WUGners came to watch our first event, and the whole place was filled with happiness. Everyone, thank you so much for warmly watching over us.

I wanted to use this event as a chance to show everyone just a little bit of Run Girls, Run!'s determination and power through our singing and dancing, but it seemed like the reverse, and we got so much energy from everyone!( ´д` ;) I was really happy when people did the song calls, and when they shouted my name.

I've got to work harder!

Koko-chan wrote this in her blog, but before we got on the stage, we got a video message from WUG. Thanks to them cheering us on with a "Do your best!", we were able to confidently stand on the stage. Ahh, just remembering it makes me so happy that I want to cry (´；ω；｀) It was like a dream... I'll always look up to WUG from now on as well.

We're still inexperienced, but we'll follow in the footsteps of WUG and do our best, so please treat us kindly from now on.

Yuuka( •ө• )
