好久不見！
Long time no see!

好久不見！
Long time no see!

寶貝們~ 你們好呀 我是喜樂！新家讓各位久等了呢~
Hi Babes~ How are you I am Shen Shen! Thanks for waiting for blog to open



我們的團名也在這趟赴日行程當中確定囉！
Our group name has been decided in this trip to Japan!

淳君 先生替我們取了「冰淇淋少女組。」這樣特別的名字
Tsunku especially chose the name "ice CreaMusume" for us

團名的由來和淳君 先生對台灣女孩們的第一眼印象有很大的關連喔！
The group name came from Tsunku's first impression of Taiwan girls

淳君 先生在第一次見到我們時，感覺台灣女孩給他的感覺較不熱絡
When Tsunku-san first met us, he felt Taiwan girls was more reserved

但在認識之後，驚覺每一位女孩都非常的甜美可愛，就像冰淇淋一般
But after knowing us, he felt everyone was cute and sweet, like ice cream

吃下去才知道那滿是幸福甜美的滋味，所以取了「冰淇淋少女組。」這個有涵義的名字
Only after tasting do you know its sweet flavor, so he chose "Ice CreaMusume" for us

是不是一聽就記得了呢！
Isn't it memorable!

我們也即將在明年一月初發行第一張迷你專輯，剩不到一個月了呢~大家一定要記得去買唷！
We will release our first mini-album next January, in less than one month~ Don't forget to buy it, everyone!

另外，冰淇淋少女組。每位「冰淇淋」都有專屬口味，喜樂是藍莓口味的冰淇淋唷！
Also, everyone in Ice CreaMusume has their own flavor, Shenshen's is Bluberry!

YEAH！是我最愛的紫色系呢～藍莓帶點優格般酸酸甜甜的滋味，好吃極了！
Yeah! It's purple, my favorite color~ Bluberry is a bit sweet and sour like yogurt, and tastes great!

決賽落幕後，在台灣我們每個禮拜六日都有不同的課程，有舞蹈課、日文課、表演課…等，這段期間我們都在學習也在進步。
After the finals, we had different classes every weekend: Dance, Japanese, performance, etc. We've been learning and improving.

一路支持我的北鼻們，謝謝你們的陪伴，喜樂在成為藝人之前雖然跌跌撞撞
Babies who have supported us, thanks for staying with us. Though it was difficult road to become a talent

但卻得到了很多，也進步和改變了不少，感謝你們一直為我加油
But I also gained alot, and improved and changed, thanks for supporting me

今後也請多多關照全新的喜樂喔！
Please also take care of All New Shen Shen

沒有你們也不會有今天的我，真的真的很謝謝你們！
Without you, I wouldn't be here today, I really really thank you!

喜樂製造工場 場長 敬上

Shen Shen production factory chief

[♥KaitoReika~...]

thanks so much for posting
i love shenshen!
and im glad to know that i am a prouyd fan of blueberry now! lol

[irish_robz]

^ Not too sure myself but from googling around, I guess it's this baked rice dish that resembles Lasagna except it's rice instead of pasta

Doria (ドリア) (Japanese Wiki)

[ChobiMM3]

She seems really cute and nice - my second favorite member

[Nayok-Kihara]

Here is all the performances found in single videos for ShenShen, from the main Ice CreaMusume thread.

Performing a Hula to "Juantanamera", then a dance to Holly Valance's "Kiss Kiss" here. (Her costume doesn't fall away like it's supposed to originally, but the judges give her another chance.)
In another contest titled One Million Star ( a rough equivalent on American Idol, which I believe JunJun also took part in at some stage) she placed 24th.

變髮人イメチェン─NEW LOOK ♥
(Stylist Imaging - NEW LOOK ♥)

喜樂這次到日本，外型最大的改變就是頭髮了
シェンシェンは今回日本に行って、一番変わったのはやっぱり髪型です
For Shen Shen’s present visit to Japan, her greatest appearance change was her hair

經由設計師們認真討論過後
ヘアメイクさんたちが真剣に討論した後
Following thorough discussion amongst the stylists

每個人都有了專屬風格定位
メンバーそれぞれのイメージを決まりました
Each member was assigned an exclusive style

改造過後，大家也都變的超有特色！
イメチェンした後、みんなすごく個性的なスタイルになりました！
After the change, everyone had extraordinary characteristics!

我的頭髮從原先團員之中最長變成最短的
私の髪はメンバーの中で一番長いの髪から、一番ショートになりました
My hair turned out to be the shortest amongst all members

先讓大家看一下喜樂變髮前後的比較圖吧！
まず皆さんにイメチェン前と後の比較図を見せちゃいましょうか！
Let’s have a look at some photos of Shen Shen’s before and after hairstyles!


↑長髮飄逸風
↑ロングヘアのスタイル
^Long hair flowing in the wind


↑清秀短髮的鄰家少女
↑清楚なショートカット乙女風
^Fresh and pretty short haired girl next door

要把及腰的長髮剪到肩膀以上，還真的需要很大的勇氣！
腰まで伸ばした髪を肩以上にカットするには、本当に勇気がいるね！
To cut one’s hair from waist length to shoulder, really needs quite a lot of courage!

印象中以前只經歷過一次 ( 在國小升上國中的時候要把頭髮剪到耳下五公分 )
こういう経験はいままで一回しか体験したことないです（小学生から中学校に昇級する時、一回耳の下5センチくらいまでカットしたことがあります）
From what I can remember, I have only been through such experience once before (when going from primary to junior high school, it was required to cut the hair to 5 cm below the ears)

那時候，喜樂還把剪掉的頭髮留一小撮當紀念。
その時、シェンシェンはカットした髪を記念にちょっとだけ残したよ。
That time, Shen Shen kept her cut hair for memories.

這次髮型上不僅僅只有剪短，髮色也都全部染回黑色的喔！
今回は髪をショートカットしただけじゃなく、髪の色も全部黒に染めましたよ！
This time, not only was it a short cut but the hair colour was also completely dyed back into black!

雖然很期待有個NEW LOOK，不過心情依然是很複雜
NEW LOOKに期待してますが、気持ち的にはやっぱり複雑ですね、
Despite looking forward to this NEW LOOK, my emotions are still very mixed

一起往下看喜樂的「心路歷程」吧！
一緒にシェンシェンの「ショートカット体験」を振り返ってみよう！
Let’s have a look at Shen Shen’s "hardship experience"!


↑等著剪頭髮
↑カット待ち
^Waiting for the haircut


↑頭髮已被剪到脖子，開始染黑，神情很落寞的喜樂
↑髪はもう首まで切りました、黒染めを始まります、ちょっと寂しい感じのシェンシェン
^Hair already cut to neck length, being dyed black, a Shen Shen looking very lonely

日本設計師貼心的幫我把剪掉的頭髮收集起來
日本のヘアメイクさんは私の切った髪を集めてくれました
The Japanese hair stylist carefully helped me to pick up the cut hair.



喜樂我本來想要把她帶回台灣作紀念的
シェンシェンはもともと台湾にもって帰って記念したいですけど
I, Shen Shen, initially wanted to bring her back to Taiwan for memories

但冰店店長都說這一把枯草很像恐怖片裡女鬼的長髮，很恐怖～～
でも店長がこの長い髪はホラー映画の中のお化けみたいに見えるから
But even the Shoppe chief said this hair looks so much like a female ghost’s hair from horror films, so scary~~

恐怖到了極點～
すごく怖がってるのでやめました。
Extremely scary.


↑大家的新髮型陸續完成了，我和傻白一起變成了短髮妞，不過她走的是帥氣風。
↑みんなの新しい髪型が続々完成いたしました、私とペイペイはショートカットガールになるました、でも彼女はカッコイイ風に仕上がりましたよ。
^Everyone's new hairstyles were gradually completed, Pei Pei and I turned into short haired gals, but she went for the handsome style.


↑一直和我聊天，幫我洗頭髮的可愛女孩
↑ずっと私に話し掛けてくれて、シャンプをしてくれたかわいい女の子
^The girl who washed my hair and chatted with me throughout

剪短後頓時覺得頭變好輕
ショートカットしたあと、頭がすごく軽くなりました
Right after the haircut, my head felt so light

喜樂我大概花了三四天適應吧！
シェンシェンは三、四日間をかけて、やっと慣れました！
I, Shen Shen, approximately wasted 3-4 days to get used to this feeling!

不過短髮真的很方便！
でもショートカットは本当に便利ですよ！
But then my short hair is actually so convenient!

而且這個髮型讓我看起來臉變小了呢～
しかもこの髪型は私の顔をもっとちっちゃく見せられるのよ
This hairstyle also makes my face look smaller~

大家也對我短髮的評價很好，覺得這樣比較可愛。
みんなのすごく好評です、この髪型の方がかわいいって言ってくれました。
Everyone's views on my short hair were also very good, feeling it's very cute this way.

去逛街時，店員還會以為我是高中生。
ショッピングに行く時、店員さんは私のこと高校生だと勘違いしましたよ。
When I went shopping, the shopkeepers mistook me for a senior high school student.

最好笑的是我爸爸看到我以後
一番面白いのは、私のお父さんが私を見た時
The funniest part was when my father saw me

一直摸著我的頭髮說：「好口愛～好口愛ㄋㄟ～」(≧▽≦)
ずっと私の髪を撫でて「かわいいね～かわいいね～」って言ってましたよ(≧▽≦)
He kept touching my hair saying: "so cuute ~ so cuute ~" (≧▽≦)

還有我哥他居然認不出來我是妹妹……
私のお兄さんなんて、私は彼の妹だとわからなかった……
Even my elder brother couldn't recognise his sister......

短髮的趣事真的太多了！
ショートカットしてからの面白いことがたくさんあります！
Too many interesting stories about my short hair!

不僅外型改變，就連心情也會跟著不一樣
外見だけじゃなく、気持ちまで変わりました
Not only has my physical appearance changed, even my mood will also no longer be the same



你們覺得喜樂我的新髮型怎麼樣呢？(( ))
みんなは私の新しい髪型どう思いますか？(( ))
What do you all think of me, Shen Shen's new hairstyle? (( ))

喜樂製造工場 場長 敬上
Regards,

I compiled a huge fan-spam thread in the main Ice CreaMusume thread. Here is everything I posted on ShenShen, slightly edited to fit the thread.

An old picture of Wú Sī Xuán (ShenShen)


ShenShen's picture from the final episode of the auditions, when the winners were chosen. Wú Sī Xuán (ShenShen)

From the 08-06-08 audition episode: Wú Sī Xuán (ShenShen) is Number 12 in this picture.

[♥KaitoReika~...]

he looks so diferent with long hair
i like her short hair better<33

[Nayok-Kihara]

Great job on the translation! :3 It's nice to hear she likes her new hairstyle, and that everyone else does too. She has a lot more courage than me when it comes to cutting her hair. I don't think I could do it at all.

[Wow!!!!!]

My first time posting here. Shen Shen is definitely my favorite in I-Musume. I like her best since the first time I saw her on the first official pic
So glad she got to be the leader of the team although that's mainly becaue she's the oldest.

Lol but despite her age, she looks sooooooo young. Not like 20 years old at all.

Oh, and I agree with many people that Shen Shen just got that 'Nacchi' look
I love her short hair.

[♥KaitoReika~...]

^shes my 2nd fav
actually
it smore of a tie between shen shen and youko lol

[Lone Machine]

another leader i and her b-day is just 3 days past mine YAY that way i'll never forget it.

a good haircut can make a big difference, how amazing i must agree that she looks super cute with short hair that with long

[T3hLouiseChan]

shenshen is soooooo cute!!!! XDDD she is my 2nd fave too. i like Reirei the best cuz she looks so exotic i wonder if she has a high or low voice

[ShikyoxYaiba]

My hobbies: Watching movies, writing songs, dancing, stop using my brain from time to time.

...Yeah, I love this girl. She looks cute with her short hair. But since she said it was dyed completely black, does that mean she has naturally brown hair? (Not that it bothers me. Most people tend to have it the other way around - dyed brown from black.)

[hello:duck]

Thanks for translating!

Ahh, short hair </3

[Damaged]

^^^ My reaction exactly ShikyoxYaiba Going by stats alone, this group doesn't seem to be short on personality.
