Hi, I translated Senshuu Banzai and it was a nightmare, please acknowledge me and my suffering.

 

 

Spoiler

Dempagumi.inc, with generations of ancestors, to the next world for eternity, higher

Enjoying a long life is worthy of celebration, is that some sort of talisman?

As it becomes boring, as it becomes commonplace, 1000 years banzai

 

Oh, I apologize again today (doo-wa-doo-wa-pa-pa)

The usual statement (doo-wa-doo-wa-pa-pa)

An appearance of the persistent unit, or maybe a departure

We're losing sight of a long, long time ago, but what of it?

 

Is it already time? (doo-wa-doo-wa-pa-pa)

Is the party in full swing? (doo-wa-doo-wa-pa-pa)

No, wait, that's a cliched ending, falling down

Please don't think there's a punchline

 

In perpetuity, a rhythm you can hear, an elegance

All things will pass, non-existence for 10 years now, ages

 

No one asked for us, but hello, hey, only idiots on the block

Just how many generations will you keep going? When we get more family members, we're a long-established shop

Sorry for that, not unexpectedly, but it won't go that way, this story

Another plot twist tonight, the seat cushions dancing

The dream still won't end, document

 

North, south, east, west, alright, spring, summer, fall winter, alright

A crying cuckoo bird

 

Still the favorite to win, chattering and alive

We have no intention put an end to it

Destroy it, the standard, no matter how many times, stand up

So let's do it for millennia and millennia

 

Very, very LOL, every so often SOS

But it's nothing

So many for and against, go ahead, every anti will take you high

So let's enjoy it, one and all

Applause for even the growth of moss (thank you)

 

How many times have we come back from being driven into a corner?

No matter if we fall, we'll get up and get our revenge

Count up to 10, "Are you ready yet?"

Everyone noisily running away, "We're ready"

 

No matter how many years pass, our introduction is, "Sending super cute songs to the world"

We wouldn't be doing it if we weren't serious, if you don't believe it, it won't come true

We're saying hey, but somehow or another we're a first magnitude star today again

But what matters is we're shocking

If you pay attention to us, we'll even welcome heckling

 

Artistry of nature, alright, intelligence and beauty, alright

Ancient and modern meets east and west

 

Sing out, sing out, shake up, shake up, we're not worried about anything

Super entertainers, we're not joking around, well maybe

We're neither poison nor the cure

 

Partings and reunions, our tears are salty

It isn't just about being okay because you're alive

But still, you say, what of it? "Give it all you've got!" Well maybe

We do not know how things will turn out

But while we are pleased, everything inside out

 

Shake it up, wake it up, we're still not there yet

Come to our remote, wonderful paradise

For the time being, let's play (no!) but why? ('cause)

Is there no word to amaze us again? (yes!)

Arguing, if we heave-ho, over here we won't care

Whoop it up, reckless abandon

Falling downwown cheeky pa-pa rawara-WARA sfnlfibh.zdgusjfojawrbf

...I lost my cool...

 

Still the favorite to win, chattering and alive

We have no intention put an end to it

Destroy it, the standard, no matter how many times, stand up

So let's do it for millennia and millennia

 

Very, very LOL, every so often SOS

But it's nothing

So many for and against, go ahead, every anti will take you high

So let's enjoy it, one and all

Applause for even the growth of moss

 

Yo chocolat, yo chocolat, and then

Together, forever, new era new age, too

Yo chocolat, yo chocolat

When the sun goes down, the moon will rise

 

I'm sorry we're not good at being obedient, well maybe to be continued

So then (laughs)

Nemo will be graduating from the group on April 30 (and also from NijiCon). After taking a break for her health, she decided she wanted to try being a costumer designer and illustrator. She also hints at the potential to sing again. She will stay with DearStage.

oshiloss is hitting hard already T_T hope she can heal better after she graduates

[Lurkette]

I think I'm taking it harder than my boyfriend, mostly because I like having an wota partner and I hope he can find a new favorite.

Both of us noticed, however, that the last year was particularly hard on her, mentally. She lost a significant amount of weight and seemed to be hyperfixating on it. She posted pictures of boiled chicken more than anyone would care to see it and her tweets became more and more diet and weight focused, which was definitely causing me to worry about her. I wasn't completely surprised when she said she was going on hiatus, after all that, and ultimately, I think this will be better for her. In her statement, she mentions that she believed for the past 7 years that being an idol was the only thing she was capable of doing, but now that she has had the time off, she realizes there is more she wants to do. This decision is definitely a positive thing for her, but obviously as fans it's still going to hit hard.
