Hello everyone, wondering if there's any fluent or semi fluent japanese speakers who could help me translate a short message I want to write to my oshi to give to her along with a gift at the NYC Morning musume 14 concert. 
 
I tried to keep it short and not too complex..
 
Dear Sakura-chan,
You are so beautiful and your voice is simply amazing! I think you are a strong and confident performer. As someone who also loves to sing, listening to you perform inspires me. Thank you for your hard work I will continue to support you fully.

さくらちゃんへ
さくらちゃんがとてもきれいで、歌声もすごいです！それに、強くて、自信のある人だと思います。歌うのも好きな私にとって、さくらちゃんの歌が私を励ましてくれました。さくらちゃん、今までの努力に感謝しております。これからも、さくらちゃんを支えていきます。

This was what Kanon said about the cheers from the NYC concert:

日本でもこんなに人気があればいいのにと思いました.

Could someone assist me if the particles and the conjugation are correct? Also, if the breakdown is correct

Spoiler

日本で = in Japan

も = too

こんな = this kind

に = ???.... does this particle connect to the topic?

人気が = topic "popularity"

あれば = "if exist"

いい = good

のに = subject marker?

と = acts like quotation mark ?

思いました = verb for to think but in the past tense

Thanks very much....

Spoiler

日本で = in Japan yes

も = too yes

こんな = this kind 

に = ???.... does this particle connect to the topic? this particle is connected as こんなに, to form an adverb "like this"

人気が = topic "popularity" yes

あれば = "if exist" yes (conditional form)

いい = good yes

のに = subject marker? Refers to even though, but いいのに would mean I wished~ (even though it'll be good)

と = acts like quotation mark ? yes

思いました = verb for to think but in the past tense yes

Thanks very much....

 

Hi~!
 

Literal translation: (I thought) I wished I could be this popular in Japan as well. 

It's good to break down sentences, but the best way to understand the sentence is to read at one go.

I don't know who Kanon is...to be honest haha...

I'm trying to translate Ayapan's LoGirl interview and I'm really struggling with this phrase in particular. 

 

そうやって言われて、少しずつ実感がわいていきました。

Context wise, she was talking about how her friends congratulated her.

I decided to find some pictures with this "word" and share it with you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's common in these pics?

Right! Pigtails!

Though the word "osage" I wanted to share with you refers to the pigtails with knots below the level of ears (like below in the middle)

 

[chisafan]

Question:

 

are the short, spikey pigtails of Asian origin? Maybe long pigtails become 'twin tails'.

 

 

 

It's like they aren't quite finished yet - 未完成

A slightly mean-spirited poem :

 

ハロステで

ハロプロがまろを

やっとすてた

Hello, can anyone tell me what this means?

 

ブームの物にはとりあえず手をつける！(Chisato's hobby)

 

Thanks!

[Juandalyn]

I think it's something like following trends?

dafuq, I've just learned the meaning of Kachuusha

my whole life as akb48's unterfan (which is limited to occasional listening of Everyday kachuusha song) was a lie.

 

This is kachuusha on their heads (headband huh)

 

 

I was assuming that it means russian Kate's pet name (like Kate-chan). Duh.

May I help you?
I will trancelate in as much as possible
