ゴキブリの次はセミが現れてきました。

。。。

初めて自分の目で見ました。声は一番怖かったです。

そう言えば、この間夢で手の半分ぐらい大きいなゴキブリが私を追いかけました。しかも蛇も尻尾みたいにありました。夢というより悪夢でしたね（笑）。

私は本当に遅いです。。。

亀のように進んでいます。でも最後には亀は勝つから、頑張ります！！！

思ったとおりに長い日記を書くのは大変なので、少しずつ書くつもりです。前のイベントのことや沢山あったから、少しだけでも別々で書きたいと思います。

今日、大阪に行きます。明日はイベントがあって、楽しみにしています～

最近よく考えました。人生には苦労が沢山あるかもしれませんが、本当に生まれてきてよかったです。

私は安全な寝る場所があって、食べることも毎日できて、確かに運がいいと思います。世界中にも沢山の人達がそれぐらいでも出来ないから、私は感謝の気持ち絶対忘れていけません。

みんなも、精一杯生き続けて下さい。

 

 

I'm really slow...

My pace is just like a turtle's. But in the end, the turtle wins the race, right?? So I'm gonna keep working hard. ^^

Just as I thought, doing long updates is really tough for me, so I'm planning to make small part updates instead.

I've participated in several events (etc) lately so I wanted to at least talk about it a little.

Today, I'm going to Osaka. There's an event tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

I've been thinking a lot these days and... Even though life can be so tough and full of difficulties, I'm thankful for being given life.

I have a safe place to sleep, I can eat meals everyday, I am lucky, indeed. There are plenty of people around the world that can't even manage to get that, so I don't want to forget to be grateful for these things I have.

Everyone, please keep living to the fullest as well.

＊＊＊

 

ラゾーナのイベントの後、思ったより大変忙しかったので、更新出来なくて本当にごめんなさい。私は更新の約束を守られなかった、酷いだと思います。。。T_T　ごめんなさい。。。

 

14日、ラゾーナイベントの日に晴れて良かった～でも暑いでした。リハーサルの時はもう人々が集まってたし、みんなはまぶしい太陽の下で大丈夫かなっ？。。。と思いました。

 

凄く楽しかったです。大きいなステージで歌えて良かったです。あそこは初めてそんな大きい声で「明日へのキズナ」を歌ったと思います。とても楽しかったです！！！

 

＊＊＊

 

19日大阪へ新幹線に乗りました。着くまで寝ました。（笑）

 

大阪のイベントは（20日）二回歌いました。リハーサルの時はラーゾナと同じ人はもう結構集まってた、ちょっと恥ずかしかったです。普通にリハーサルはスタッフの人達だけがいるので、お客様は本番前同じ歌を聞くのは退屈じゃないですか？T_T私はそう思いました。でも朝早い来てくれて、本当にありがとうございました！東京よりも天気は暑くて、空が曇っていました。

 

ステージの後ろは噴水が沢山あって、子供と両親は一緒に遊びました。私も子供の頃に戻りたかった！！！

 

二回目歌った時、雨が降りそうと思ったけど、結局大丈夫でした！（助かったわ。。。）

 

＊＊＊

 

大阪で終わった後、すぐに名古屋に移動して、あそこに泊まりました。次の日（21日）、イベントはショッピングモールの中にやりました。天気はあまり良くなかったから、中にして良かったですね。

 

大阪でも名古屋でもスタッフの方がMCデビューしました！（笑）みんなは緊張したかも知れませんがとても上手でしたよ。ありがとう。

 

名古屋にもリハーサルの時人々がいて、ちょっと緊張したけど、多分少しずつ慣れていると思います（笑）

 

でら楽しかった！！！（笑）握手会が終わった後、後ろのお客様はジャンプしたり、手を振ったりしました。面白かったです。

 

＊＊＊

 

感謝の気持ちをこめて：

 

 

イベントに来てくれて、本当に心から感謝しています。
真剣に聞いても、盛り上がっても、どっちでも嬉しいです。
そばにいてくれて、この瞬間みんなが繋がっていたそうで、大切な思い出になります。
今夏だから、イベントに行くことは大変だと思います。外に立って、凄く暑い天気で、これからもみんなちゃんと飲み物を持ってきて下さいね。健康は第一です。

 

握手会に来てくれたの皆さんにも大きいな「アリガトウゴザイマス」。長い間並んで、ありがとうございます。m(_ _)m お待たせしました。沢山の人と会って、凄く早いペースで、頭がちょっとぐるぐる回ったから、もしみんなの言ったこととか良く答えられなかった、本当にすみません。私は簡単に迷いになります。（笑）

 

ファンレター、プレゼントや貰って、びっくりしました！！どうしてみんなはこんなに優しいですか？！（笑）
時々プレゼントを使いたくない。。。綺麗で、そのまま大切にしたい。（笑）迷っています！！でも美味しい食品だったら、永遠にキープ出来ませんね。。。。（笑）貰ってたプレゼントの中には可愛い物、便利な物や、みんなの違う性格が見せましたね。応援の言葉からも勇気を貰いました。とても純粋、心がいい人達の気持ち、ありがとうございました。

 

子供から年寄りまで、色んな人達がイベントに来てくれて嬉しいです。年齢と関係なく、音楽は人を繋がりますよね。。。

 

前のブログでコメントした人達もいました。ありがとう～～～
東京と大阪も二つのイベントに来てくれた人達もいました！凄い。わざわざ旅行にしました？！本当に本当に感謝します。m(_ _)m

 

来てくれた友達にもありがとう～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
大好きですよ！！

 

アニソングランプリを見た人達とヴァルキュリアのファンも沢山来ましたよ！！！
今年、アニソングランプリに応募したの皆さん、頑張って下さいね！Good Luck!

 

ヴァルキュリアはもうすぐ新しいOPとED主題歌になるから、ちょっとだけ悲しい。。。私はまだヴァルキュリアと離婚したくないです！！（泣/笑）けどね。。。新しいED主題歌は私の可愛くて、優しい妹のひかりちゃんだから、凄く楽しみにしています！！応援します！（ひかりちゃんは去年のアニソングランプリで特別賞を貰って、今年私と同じ、デビューすることになります。）（妹の事、私自身で決まりました！血の妹がいないから、寂しいです。）

 

OPも変わるけど、私のOP１はいつまでもヴァルキュリアと繋がっているから、嬉しいです！
これからストーリーはもっとドラマチックになると思うので、見ることを続けて、楽しみにしています！
カラオケで「明日へのキズナ」を歌い続けて下さいね！
そして、「明日へのキズナ」を聞いている人達、心に残ったらとっても嬉しいです。

 

最後にスタッフの皆さん、お疲れ様でした！みんなはまじめですね。こんなに頑張っているから、私も頑張らないと！！！本当にありがとうございました。スタッフの皆さんがいてくれたから、素敵なイベントが出来て、とても感謝しています。

 

ああ！最後の最後です。（笑）沢山のCDショップまたお邪魔しました。素敵過ぎのDisplayやありがとうございます。うれし涙が出るぐらい素敵でしたよ。

 

今回も活動を頑張って、前に進みます！皆さんも、人生で頑張って下さいね。人生には苦労がいっぱいあるからこそ、人生の楽しい事、もっと評価出来ますよね。大切にしましょう。精一杯生き続けましょう。

 

ありがとうございます。永遠に～みんなは可愛すぎて、好き好きで～～～す！

 

また会いましょうね！

 

次は、福岡で歌います！27日、みんなと会うことを楽しみにしています～

 

 

 

After the event at Lazona, I was a lot busier than I thought I'd be, so therefore I wasn't able to update my blog, I'm very sorry. I broke my promise and feel really bad about it. T_T Please forgive me.

 

June 14th (Lazona, Kawasaki) :
I was so happy that it was a sunny day!! But it was so hot. When we did the rehearsal, there were quite a few people already gathered in front of the stage, I wondered if everyone was okay, standing under the bright hot sun. >_<

 

It was really fun though. To have the change to sing on a big stage like that was really an honour. I think it was the first time I could sing "Asu e no Kizuna" so loud!!! I had a lot of fun, really.

 

***

 

On june 19th, we got on the Shinkansen to Osaka and I slept the whole time..(lol)

 

June 20th (Nishinomiya Gardens, Osaka) :

 

I sang at two different times. During rehearsal, just like at Lazona, there were already quite some people who were seated so it's a little embarassing to rehearse in front of people when I know they will hear me sing the same songs during the event itself. It must be boring, right? T_T At least that's what I thought. But I'm so grateful to the people who came early, it must have been a hassle to sit outside and wait until it started. It was even hotter than it was in Tokyo at Lazona, but the skies were cloudy.

 

Behind the stage, there were water fountains where children and their parents were playing and splish-splashing around (sorry if my sentences make no sense..haha..splish-splashing...is that even a word???). I thought 'Hey!! I wanna go back to my childhood days too!! Seems like fun..'

 

The second time I went to sing, I thought it was gonna rain, but fortunately it didn't! Phew! :)

 

***

June 21th(Aeon Chikusa, Nagoya)

 

Right after we were done with our duties in Osaka, we went aboard the Shinkansen again to Nagoya and slept there. It was a blessing that the event in Nagoya was inside a shopping mall because the weather wasn't so good that day...

 

At both Osaka and Nagoya's events, the MC's were people from the staff and made their 'MC debut'!!! (lol) They were probably nervous, but they did so well!! I'm very thankful (they were so cute!!).

 

At Nagoya's event, during rehearsal, just like the previous places I visited, there were people sitting and watching, but since it happened so much lately, I guess even though I'm still nervous, I'm slightly getting used to it.

 

It was super fun!! (lol) When the handshake gathering finished, there were people a bit further away that jumped and waved their hands energetically. I replied energetically too!! It was funny. :)

 

***

 

To express my gratitude :

 

 

I'm very grateful that everyone came to watch and listen to the events.
There were people who listened intensely, others who really got into it, but to all these people who took the time to come to watch, thank you. Even if it's just for an instant, that everyone is able to connect together, being gathered at the same place, I think it's a blessing.

 

It's already summer and VERY hot and humid here, so I imagine it must be quite an ordeal to stay under the sun. I hope that everyone brings their water bottles and such to keep hydrated (sp?). Being healthy is a priority!

 

And then to everyone who participated in the handshake gathering, a big big "Thank You"!!! To have waited in line for a while for this, I can only be grateful that all these people took the time to do so. It was a little tough to keep up with the fast pace of handshaking and then turning to the next person, I felt a little confused at times to listen to what people were saying... ^^;;

 

But there were some people who gave me encouragements in english too!!! Thank you for coming! :D

 

I received fanletters and presents too, I was very surprised. Why is everyone so nice??? T_T Sometimes I don't dare use the things I get...I want to keep them neat and as they are, if I use them they will ...well....become used!!! (lol) Among the things I received, there were so many cute, useful things, etc, it showed everyone's different personality types and it was very amusing. I received a lot of words of encouragements. I felt a lot of pure and kind feelings from people, thank you so much.

 

Another interesting thing was that the age of people who came were from small children up to elderly people. I was very touched. Music really has no border and people from every age range can enjoy it together and connect to one point when they gather together to listen. I think it's amazing.

 

There were also a few people who used to comment on my previous blog! Waaah I was so happy they came. :) I also noticed some people who came to both Tokyo and Osaka events. It must have been a hassle to travel around for that purpose. Wow. I'm so thankful. T_T

 

I also had friends who came to watch!!!!! XD I love you aaaaaaaaaaaalll... my precioussssss ones ;D

 

I also met quite a few people who said they watched the Anison GP contest and became fans ever since. And of course some fans of Valkyria were there too!!

 

Very soon Valkyria's OP/ED themes will change, I'm a little sad, I don't wanna divorce Valkyria yet!!! (sniff/lol) But by the way, the new ED theme is gonna be sung by my cute and nice little sister Hikari!! I can't wait to hear it!! I'm rooting for Hikari-chan <33 (Hikari is the young girl who received a special award at the Anison GP last year and is also given a chance to make a debut this year) (And I made her my little sister myself because I don't have one, but I wish I did!!)

 

The OP is also changing but.... my OP theme will always be connected to Valkyria so I'm really happy. From here on, the story will get more dramatic, I think, so I'm looking forward to the following episodes.

 

To the people who like to sing "Asu e no Kizuna", thank you!!! I'm really happy that you like the song to the point of singing it yourself. :)

 

And of course I hope that "Asu e no Kizuna" will remain in your hearts for a long long time.

 

My last thanks, but not the least, are to the staff working with me! Everyone is working so hard to make these events possible, so I need to do my best as well!! It's because of everyone's efforts that these wonderful events are even able to take place. Thank you so much.

 

Oops... I said last but let's make this last last. (wink) I went to visit a few CD shops again with the staff. There were some really awesome displays out there, I couldn't believe my eyes. They were so awesome almost to the point of shedding tears. >_< (lol) Thank you so much!!!

 

From here on, I will keep going within my career towards the next goals!!! I hope that everyone can also do the same, aim for what they set as a goal for themselves in life. I know that life is full of difficulties and pain, but it's because of that pain that we're able to enjoy the good things even more, right? Let's cherish those things. And live to the fullest.

 

Thank you so much. Forever.~~ Everyone is just so cute, I love love youuuuu!! <3 (lol)

 

Let's meet again (and for the people who are living overseas, maybe someday we'll have a chance to meet in the future!!)!

 

The next event is in Fukuoka, on the 27th. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone there!
