ShukaBlog 2017.04.17: Visiting the One I Love.
[Original Post] [←Zenkai no ShukaBlog!]
Visiting the one I love.
On April 16th, 2017, I went to visit someone I love.
That’s right! I went to Numazu, where You-chan and the others are!!
You might be thinking “Why did you go?”
I happened to see all this birthday celebratory stuff on Twitter and other places on the web...
And I thought, “It’s no good unless I see all of this with my own two eyes!”
Then I was like “I’m gonna bring my mom and older brother!!” So we came to visit Numazu together!
We threw our plans together on the 15th for an impromptu day-before trip! Lol
The sounds of “Numazu! Numazu!” kept echoing in my heart. I couldn’t stop them.
You-chan’s birthday is 4/17 I really wanted to visit the day-of, but... There was no way for me to go that day....
So instead, I came to visit Numazu the day before, on the 16th!!!
I picked out all the places that I definitely had to visit. Then Shuka went strolling around town.
First off, first off! You-chan’s house!! We went to Orandakan!!!*
*(Note: In real life, You’s house is a cafe called Orandakan.)
The inside of the shop was also packed with You-chan:
There was a lot of stuff celebrating her birthday too!!!
“I’m happy. So happy...” Saitou cried while meeting the employees at Orandakan for the first time.
After that, a You-chan taxi appeared outside—!
One of the reasons I rushed here is because I heard rumors that the taxis were back! It’s a miracle that I actually found one though!!
Since this was my first time seeing a You-chan taxi in a while... I was bouncing up and down.
Wait, it was more like I was squirming with delight lol
What’s more, Uchicchii was there to ride with me too! I also got to borrow a You hat!
We rode the taxi and toured Numazu together!
While we were going around Numazu... The driver pointed out all these little places and taught us about them. Saying stuff like, “Oh, this is where that one part of the anime took place!”
Once again, when I thought about how the Aqours girls grew up in a place like this, somehow it made me really happy.
To the You-chan taxi driver Who pointed out so many little places from the anime to us... And who took the time to check those places out and study them...
Thank you so much.
⚠️ I will not be revealing the driver’s name since it is personal information.
Then, we visited Shougatsu.*
*(Note: Confectionery shop in Numazu. In the drama CDs, CYaRon! “worked” there part-time; and in real life, the second-year seiyuu visited the shop and helped to make some of the confections.)
Message Text:
Statement of Gratitude
To Shougatsu’s visitors:
Thank you so much.
Since Chika-chan, You-chan, and Ruby-chan came to work part-time here, many more people have started visiting Shougatsu. We’re just a small shop in the middle of nowhere, but thank you so much for always taking the time to shop here anyway.
In addition to expressing our gratitude, we have a couple of things we must apologize for...
☆ Sorry that the three in CYaRon! were absent from work for a long period of time, leaving the shop unattended...*
☆ Sorry that our mikan dorayaki and mikan pound cake are constantly sold out.
☆ Sorry that we shortened our business hours.
Even though we’re like this, we’ll continue to be in your care in the future.
Shougatsu
*(Note: In one of CYaRon!’s drama CDs, Chika, You, and Ruby work part-time at Shougetsu. They pretty much left the store and ditched work for the majority of the drama lol.)
I haven’t been here since “Strolling with Aqours”!!*
*(Note: This is bonus footage from BD2, where the second years visited various places around Numazu.)
Hehe, I was really happy when you remembered me ♡ We shared some really vigorous handshakes lol
Sorry that the three in CYaRon! were absent from work for so long!! ( ・᷄-・᷅ )
Then... I also wrote lots of notes for others to read in the guestbooks and stuff.
Numazu Gamers*
*(Shuka uses the abbreviation “Numaazu” here. In Japanese, “gamers” is “geemaazu”, so Numazu Gamers is commonly shortened to “Numaazu”. Clever pun. Doesn’t quite work in English, though. You have to admit “Numers” sounds pretty dumb.)
Message Text: April 16, 2017 Today is the day before You-chan’s birthday. So, I came to visit Numazu 😊♡ Saitou is really happy to see so many messages. Thank you very much. It’s a day early, but... Happy Birthday You-chan! I’ll always be with you ♡ BY: Saitou Shuka.

SUN! SUN! Sunshine Cafe
Message Text: I came to visit Numazu 😊 April 16, 2017 It’s a day early but... Happy Birthday You-chan. I’ll always be with you ♡
Since I took the time to secretly leave all these messages... Please take a look when you visit Numazu, okay!!!
It really was a day full of happiness and blessings.
A single day wasn’t nearly enough time for me to tour the whole area. Although there were some places I wanted to visit that I couldn’t visit...
It was still a ridiculously satisfying day.
And since today was a day trip with my family I suddenly barged into a lot of different places.
My apologies for surprising all of you staff members. I must have interrupted your work, too... I’m sorry.
And to everyone who just happened to be at those stores, too... Sorry for surprising you guys.
Sorry for bothering all of you. I even barged in while some of you were eating...
But, once again, I could reeeeeeeally feel everyone’s love. All the warmth and love from everyone in Numazu.
I felt so blessed. Thanks.
And You-chan— Happy birthday.
I’ll always be on your side. I’m right with you.
You seem so skilled and talented, but you’re actually a bit clumsy. I really like that part of you.
I’ll continue be in your care in the future!
Today I’ll say bye around here! Sorry it’s so late at night!!!
