^I always thought she usually walked like that lol.

 

Looking at MM17’s first performance with Chii-chan and seeing how great she is at dancing, I sort of hope they don’t make her THE dancer and push Ayumi to the side. I don’t really care if Ayumi’s doesn’t get lines, I only like seeing her shine as a main dancer. Plus, she worked hard for those dance centers and solos lol. 

I wouldn’t be opposed to dance duets however. I always loved Riho/Ayumi’s dance battles. What do you guys think??

[kittykoo5]

I want another one of this...

 

 

 

...so I'd definitely like to see more dance battles 

[FoxGod]

[Sugaya Risako]

she looks great.

^isn't it the other way around?
mizuki doing a gag on ayumi's watermelon-carrying

I don't worry on Ayumi not getting dance center in the future because of new member debut, hhhmmmm.... because the dance interlude in BNM was still given to her (and maachan) in concerts despite it initially danced by 13th gen

Even her singing gets stable and more controlled now. No matter how other people don't recognize it.

Well it depends on your taste still but I don't believe she's a bad singer like what other people keep on saying. She's not just good in musicals but she did well in Osaka perf (the one w/o fukusaku). Even in their budokan and this year's summer hello con.

She did great in her bday event, too... in the bus tour, in hinafest... Maybe I can say so because I watch her the most and I pay attention to her the most, too

Some beautiful pics from Hong Kong

 

 

Beautiful and cute

 

 

With Chii-chan. On her blog Ayumin wrote that Chii-chan was a guest on All Night Nippon and Morning Gakuin. Apparently she's getting to know Chii-chan and talk to her a lot. They both tend to break into laughs fast

Loads of IshiDuu

 

Is she proposing to Duu?

 

 

Akane wrote that these three spontaneously went to karaoke together after work the other day. She managed to keep it together for the most part, but when she made them sing Ai no Kotoba and Suki Dakara from the Zoku 11nin Iru musical, she couldn't help but fangirl

Ronin’s translation of some parts:

reposting for new page, Maachan seems really genki
ooh Maachan talks about Sasshi, an AKB fan brings it up

This episode was a lot more fun than last time where Maachan didn't say much at all.

I translated the bits I found most interesting. Hope I managed to keep it as funny as it was in Japanese:

Maachan: Yes!
Ayumin: What's wrong?
Maachan: Yes! The H!P concerts have begun!
Ayumin: Right, they've begun!
Fukunura: Yay, finally!
Maachan: The rehearsals were so short this time Masaki didn't know what to do.
Ayumin: Yeah, they were very short.
Fukunura: We did our best to learn the choreography.
Ayumin: There were so many songs to learn the choreography of.
Maachan: It may be weird to say it myself, but Masa really did her best this time.
Fukunura: Hehehe
Ayumin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do our best so that the audience can approve of it too.
Maachan: No, I approve of it myself.
Fukunura: lol
Ayumin: Yourself?
Maachan: Masa approves.
Ayumin: Well, I guess it's important to praise yourself too.
Maachan: I'm not praising myself.
Ayumin: Eh?
Maachan: I said I'm approving of my hard work.
Ayumin: Oh?
Maachan: You should work on your Japanese more, Ayumin.
Ayumin: Yes, I'm very sorry. Wait a second here.
Maachan: Good, let's start today's Morning Musume Morning Jogakuin After School meeting!
Ayumin: Satou-san, please work on your Japanese more too.

Ayumin: The first message is from a fan about how she came to like Morning Musume. It's from someone called "Maachan is my daily solace".
Fukunura: lol Thank you very much.
Ayumin & Maachan: Thank you very much.
Ayumin: "Fuku-chan, Ayumin, Maachan, good evening."
Fukunura & Maachan: Good evening!
Ayumin: "Let me tell you how I came to like Morning Musume. I'm attending a vocational school right now."
Fukunura: Ohhh.
Ayumin: "At the admissions interview, I was told by the interviewer that I look like Matsuoka Mayu when I smile."
Fukunura: Huh. She's cute.
Ayumin: "Shortly after that, I saw in the news that Matsuoka Mayu would temporarily join Morning Musume for a drama series or something."
Fukunura: Oh.
Ayumin: "The song One-Two-Three she performed at that time was so cool that I've been a Morning Musume wota ever since then."
Fukunura: Ohhh.
Maachan: Wow. Amazing.
Ayumin: "And ever since I saw the Utakata Saturday Night music video for the first time and fell in love with MaaDuu at first sight, I've been a MaaDuu fan. I'm very sad that I won't get to see MaaDuu anymore after Kudou-san's graduation, but as someone who loves MaaDuu from the bottom of my heart, I want to root for MaaDuu until the end. I can't wait for the fall tour! Please take care of yourselves and do your best at work!"
Fukunura: What a nice fan.
Maachan: Wow. Matsuoka-san.
Ayumin: In one of her drama series, Matsuoka-san said she'd like to become the gasoline for Morning Musume, the fuel for Morning Musume, and here's the proof that she actually got us a new fan. I'm so happy I got to hear about this. Thank you very much for the message.
Fukunura & Maachan: Thank you very much.
Fukunura: I'll read the next message. This one is from YukiMegu-san.
Ayumin & Maachan: Thank you very much.
Fukunura: "Everyone at MoJo, good evening!"
Ayumin & Maachan: Good evening!
Fukunura: "I came to like Morning Musume thanks to Sashihara Rino-san".
Ayumin: Oh my!
Maachan: Sashihara... Sasshi-san?
Fukunura: "I'm originally a fan of AKB48 and check Sashiko-chan's twitter regularly."
Ayumin: Okay.
Fukunura: "And one day, Sashiko-chan posted a picture of Morning Musume singing 'Utakata Saturday Night' with the text 'Just bought this. It's such a good song, I want more people to listen to it.'."
Ayumin: Thank you very much!
Fukunura: "When I saw that, I figured I could give it a listen since Sashiko-chan is recommending it so strongly and watched the music video on Youtube."
Ayumin: Yes, yes.
Fukunura: "That's how I became a fan of Satou Masaki-chan, who happens to be Sashiko-chan's Oshi too, and before I knew it, I had come to love Morning Musume."
Ayumin: Wow! Wow!
Fukunura: "Fast forward to now. I'm a member of the H!P fan club who's attended Masaki-chan's birthday event and the Morning Musume '17 spring tour. Like I said at the beginning, I'm a fan of AKB48, but the H!P fan club is the first fan club I've ever joined."
Ayumin: Oh my!
Fukunura: "That's how much addicted to Morning Musume now. I'm really grateful to Sashiko-chan for introducing me to a wonderful idol group like H!P."
Ayumin: Yeah, yeah.
Fukunura: "Please take care of yourselves and do your best! I'll be rooting for you.".
Maachan: Thank you very much.
Ayumin: Wow, thank you very much.
Fukunura: She's only 15 years old.
Ayumin: Oh my! So young!
Maachan: Younger than Masa...
Fukunura: lol I'm so happy.
Ayumin: I am too.
Fukunura: That people became fans of us thanks to people who talk about being fans of us.
Ayumin: Yeah.
Fukunura: This YukiMegu-san, for example, was a fan of Sashihara-san first, but then became a fan of us too.
Ayumin: Yeah!
Maachan: Wow.
Fukunura: But yeah, Sashihara-san has been saying that she likes Morning Musume and we even got to sing with her as Sashining Musume.
Ayumin: Yes! Yes! Get you!
Fukunura: It was our first time collaborating with her, so I was really nervous.
Ayumin: We collaborated in TV shows too.
Fukunura: Yeah, we were in TV shows together, but it was our first official collaboration, so I was really nervous. And it was super fun because I think collaborations like that are pretty rare among idol groups.
Ayumin: We should treasure them.
Maachan: Sasshi-san and others always come to our concerts, right?
Ayumin: Yeah.
Maachan: And the other day, there was the AKB48 election, right?
Ayumin: Yeah.
Maachan: Masa was really happy about it.
Fukunura: That Sashihara-san got first place?
Maachan: When I saw Sasshi-san ranking first, I was like "YEEAAAHHHH".
Fukunura: lol
Ayumin: That's a funny way to express your joy about something. lol
Maachan: I was really happy about it.
Ayumin: It was exciting to watch.
Maachan: It was. It was also thanks to Sasshi-san that we got to sing "Get you" together. Seeing Sasshi-san come up on top like that, I thought to myself again how cool she is.
Ayumin: Ohh.
Maachan: After all, she's older than us. I mean it in a good way though.
Fukunura: In a good way? lol
Maachan: I mean, she's more mature than us. So I look up to her and think she's really cool.
Fukunura: I was so surprised when such famous idols like Sashihara-san or Watanabe Mayu-san came to the first day of our concert tour.
Ayumin: That's right.
Fukunura: Kashiwagi Yuki-san too said she likes Morning Musume. I'm always so happy to hear that they came to like Morning Musume in the past and still like the current Morning Musume today. That means, we have the responsibility to keep Morning Musume's history alive, so let's try to protect what makes Morning Musume Morning Musume while exploring new territory.
Maachan: Hehehe.
Ayumin: Yes. Now here comes a message about the "Fun facts about Morning Musume members only fans know" category which I love.
Fukunura: It's the first time I hear about that category.
Maachan: *cough*
Ayumin: Let me read it.
Fukunura: Okay.
Ayumin: It's from someone called "Endless Sayumist Medium-spicy Penguin".
Fukunura: lol
Everyone: Thank you very much.
Ayumin: "Here are some fun facts I noticed about Masaki-chan from watching concerts and DVD magazines."
Fukunura: Oh.
Ayumin: "01. As soon as the leader finishes her pep talk before a concert, she runs off somewhere in a hurry."
Fukunura: lol
Ayumin: "02. When she gets too excited during a concert, she sexually harasses other members."
Maachan: lol
Fukunura: True.
Ayumin: "03. She still loves to draw Deli-kun everywhere."
Fukunura: Ahh...
Ayumin: Now comes a bonus fun fact about me. "When Ayumi-chan has to get up early, she slurs her words all morning."
Fukunura: lol
Maachan: WAHAHAHA
Ayumin: There's one about you too, Fukumura-san. "When Mizuki-chan hugs the other members, it's always a bear hug.".
Fukunura: lol Wow, that person is so observant.
Ayumin: It's so funny too! After the leader has held her speech and we've done the "Ganbatte Ikimasshoi!" together, most members go to the space behind the stage because the concert is about to start.
Fukunura: Yeah.
Ayumin: Because it's usually a few minutes before the concert starts. Only Maachan rushes back to the dressing room for some reason.
Maachan: lol *cough*
Fukunura: Yeah, she starts running the second we finish saying "Ganbatte Ikimasshoi!". lol
Ayumin: lol
Fukunura: I always think "How come she's in such a hurry?".
Ayumin: It's like she was still in the middle of preparing herself.
Fukunura: She starts running at the "shoi" of "Ganbatte Ikimasshoi!". Like it was "Ready, steady, go!".
Maachan: But I really mean it when I say "Ganbatte Ikimasshoi!".
Ayumin: Of course, of course.
Fukunura: Really?
Maachan: Of course! Okay, next time, I'll only look Fukunura-san in the eye while making a face like "Let's go!".
Ayumin: More like "Let's go back to the dressing room!".
Fukunura: lol
Maachan: You see, at the first day of a concert, it's not about make-up or preparing myself, but don't you tear up when a concert tour is about to start? Like when everyone's like "Ganbatte Ikuta!" "Ganbarou!". And it seems like I'm really weak against it. Sometimes, Ayumin and Duu start crying at that moment, right?
Ayumin: Yeah.
Maachan: And when I see you guys cry, I start crying even harder.
Ayumin: It's infectious.
Maachan: Yeah. It makes me cry twice as hard and all my make-up and everything would be ruined.
Ayumin: Yeah.
Maachan: That's why I go back to the dressing room and say "Alright, I'm going to ASDFGHJKL!!!" to myself by myself.
Ayumin: So that's why you go back.
Fukunura: She's making up her own words again.
Maachan: But isn't it funny how Ayumin slurs her *cough* words in the *cough* morning?
Ayumin: Maachan, you're the one who's slurring your words right now though.
Maachan: What does "slurring" mean again?
Ayumin: It means you can't speak clearly.
Maachan: Ah, you're really bad at speaking clearly, Ayumin.
Ayumin: Really?
Fukunura: Everyone in Morning Musume is bad at it.
Ayumin: In the morning, yeah. It's okay at this time of the day.
Maachan: Masa is pretty good at it.
Ayumin: What?
Fukunura: You're not!
Maachan: Eh? I am!
Fukunura: In your case, it's more like you're not even trying!
Maachan & Ayumin: HAHAHAHA
Fukunura: Because you could if you tried!
Ayumin: True.
Maachan: How mean... lol
Fukunura: Like before, you could speak clearly if you wanted. You're good at tongue twisters too.
Ayumin: Plus, you slur a word and just roll with it. You don't even try to say it again.
Fukunura: lol She does.
Ayumin: I'm like "No one will understand you that way." every time.
Fukunura: See? You're not even trying.
Maachan: No, speaking is just too diffcult!
Ayumin: You mean Japanese?
Maachan: It's way too difficult! Just think about it for a second! Ever since I joined Morning Musume in 6th year of elementary school, I've finally gotten to this point where I can speak like this after getting taught how to speak by the members in my generation like Ayumin and Duu and I still suck at it!
Ayumin: Normally, people can already speak when they're in sixth year of elementary school.
Maachan: I'm finally starting to get the hang of how to use Japanese. Like when you say "Arigatou", where to put the "o" sound. Or the dashes and circles in Hiragana characters. I'm finally starting to understand all the lyrics in our songs.
Fukunura: No way.
Maachan: I'm serious! I'm not lying!
Ayumin: How old are you now, Maachan?
Maachan: Huh? I'm in third year of high school.
Ayumin: Whoa...
Fukunura: 18.
Maachan: But it's okay. Even people like me can still live their lives.
Ayumin: Yeah, you can. Let's keep living.
Maachan: And everyone tells me how much I've improved.
Fukunura: It's thanks to all the adults around you who raised you.
Maachan: And I got chewed out a lot.
Ayumin: That's right! It's thanks to the other 10th gen members who taught you everything.
Maachan: Don't expect me to feel grateful now.
Fukunura: You won't? lol
Maachan: *cough* lol But! But I must admit that the other three 10th gen members are really good at teaching kids like me.
Fukunura: lol I guess that means the three of them will make wonderful mothers in the future.
Maachan: Definitely. I think so too.
Ayumin: HAHAHA Maybe so.
Fukunura: lol What a weird way to sum this up.
Maachan: I think they'll make great mothers. In any case, let's end this meaningless chatter and play the second song.
Fukunura: lol

Maachan uploaded a new blog entry! It seems like it's about akanechin and ishiduu? I think it's really cute but i don't really know what it means so, ronin, can you translate it please?

We had to wait weeks for a new blog post by Maachan and it's not even about her. Oh well, still glad.

 

Thank you so much for translating! yeah, but i actually love when maachan talks about other members, she loves the girls so much it makes me really happy

AyuMizuki and DaaSaku~

 

On her blog today she shared a bit of trivia about how her uncle has the same name as Maria's, her other uncle shares the same name with Harunan's and her way of calling one of her cousins is the same as Kudo calling her cousin, which is the name of Sakura's older brother It doesn't tell us much since we don't get to know the names, but it's still a funny coincidence that so many of Ayumi's familiy members share their name with other MM members'.

because watermelon is her favorite, she even gets a watermelon on her bdays.
she also said in her blog (7/27/2017 -

btw, it's watermelon day last 7/27 in Japan.


Here's a good news, we can listen to MM's all night nippon i (formerly all night nippon moblie) for free until end of august. Ayumi is still the main personality here (main MC). We could hear her talk freely abd in some episodes there are guests, too.

https://i.allnightni...pg_anni_morning

Originally, you need to pay for monthly subscription for MM's all night nippon mobile. They only made it for free this August. From september, you need to pay again. I don't have any idea how to subscribe and if you can subscribe outside japan.
I tried the link and played some episodes. It worked! Though, I'm not sure if the ones posted were full episodes.
Lucky we get to listen for free this August.

Thank you! I've been listening to the newest one, it's actually really fun to listen to.

She talked about how cute Akane and Chiichan are and how she feels like a bigger sister or even like a mother to them. Then she also talked about Duu's graduation. She says lately it doesn't feel like the grad is drawing near at all, since Duu acts just like she usually does, no "we're going to be seperated soon, so lonely". They're just genuinely having fun. Of course when they all heard about it first she was most of all surprised and sad, but she wanted to keep it light hearted, because that's simply how the 10ki are. Though that evening when the 10ki went home in the dark Maa-chan started talking about how 10ki used to say they wanted to be together forever, so they all cried together. Plus Ayumi said telling her mother that night was the hardest, because she had to say it out loud for the first time (I guess it made it more real for her then).

Apart from that she didn't cry all that much. Even when all the members gathered and Duu was about to announce it to them, the atmosphere was cheerful and since they were sitting in a circle of chairs the kouhai were joking around: "after we got that announcement let's play a game" (I think it's that game were one of them stands in the middle and says 'everyone who has/is ... has to stand up' and then quickly find a new chair to sit on). Of course then the announcement was Duu's grad and the atmosphere changed, some kouhai were crying, but Ayumi wanted to keep the mood cheerful for everyone so she ended up saying that they should play the game. They did, Ayumi lost and had to do an impression

[Ayumine]

Time for a little update!

 

Some selfies: 

  

 

AyuMizuki

She went out after work with Mizuki and Duu the other day. She wrote that Mizuki had black coffee, Duu had café au lait and she got herself a matcha latte frappuchino. She felt like definding herself in her blog for getting a sweet drink like "It's not like I can't drink bitter stuff... I just wanted to drink matcha latte...I'm not a child" 

 

From Maa-chan's blog:

 

No worries.  She was joking that sometimes IshiDuu argue like a married couple, and other times their eyes will meet and smile.  My Japanese isn't as good as Ronin's, but I believe  that was the gist of it.

I think your Japanese is flawless.

 

 

 

 

Continuing with IshiDuu, Akane-chin won the H!S quiz half a year ago and she finally got ther reward during one of the Naruchika concerts: she chose a talk corner with IshiDuu! Seems like they had lots of fun talking and doing a photoshoot on stage. Akane-chin says she took about 200 pictures o____o she posted two of those and I expect she'll post some more one after another:

 

Yesterday Akane, IshiDuu and Risamaru from Tsubaki had a sleepover at Akane's house. She wrote that they watched clips of the first 10ki event and 12ki event DVDs, Tsubaki Musical Thank You Very Berry, MM stageplay Gogakuyuu and TRIANGLE. They laughed a lot watching themselves on old DVDs. Then, when they went into the bath one after another, the remaining three played UNO and the loser had to do a penality game. Looks like Ayumi was never the loser, but when Risamaru was in the bath, Kudo lost. As penality Akane took "sleeping" face photos of Duu and then Ayumi just horizontaly layed down on her Akane says she got some great pictures, but will share them another time.

Ayumi is also someone who wakes up early easily and she made French toast for everyone, just like in that MM summer camp DVD magazine~

Are you guys following the Idol Nama Gassen games? They're like an extended MM DVD Magazine. Here's the most recent one, the rest on the same channel.

I always get a matcha green tea latte or a frappuchino at starbucks too! I feel weirdly close to her haha.

Thanks for the post, Ayumine!
