Lovely Bean

Hey anyone who still reads this poorly updated blog!

If you have been randomly checking in, you will have noticed a number of updates recently as I’ve resumed my quest to translate Aichan’s blog. As any Aichan fan knows, the Lovely leader of Morning Musume and Hello! Project is scheduled to graduate from both groups during Morning Musume’s fall tour. Check out my reaction/ first tribute post on fields of maiZe in the morning. Even if you don’t feel like reading my ramblings on why I love Aichan, check out the cute Aichan videos at the bottom of the post.

So, with the impending graduation, I’ve decided that I need to get back on track with Aichan blog translations. However, having fallen behind by 3 months, I have come to accept that it will take me forever to catch up. And, seeing how I want to keep up with what’s going on with Aichan as we move closer and closer to the graduation, I need to translate the most recent posts first. For all previous posts I’ve written up, I’m changing the dates to the dates that Aichan (or Risa for Risa blog posts) first posted it. For all future posts, I’ll date and time it in the same way. I’ll be updating with the current day’s posts and with whatever free time I have, I’ll start going backwards until I hopefully get everything translated… eventually. So… wish me luck! I’m gonna do my best!

And, just to make this post not all ramblings from me, here’s a lovely little clip from the 2006 Hello! Morning Christmas Special. The girls had to go to 5 amusement parks and ride 10 attractions in a day so that they could have their Christmas party. The group was split into two, and the clip I have follows the team of interest for this blog: Aichan and Risa with Eri and Sayu. It shows attractions 8 and 9 of their challenge. #8 is actually Risa and Sayu riding together, but Aichan is just too adorable during attraction #8 that I had to include it. And challenge #9 is just absolute gold as Risa and Aichan ride a rollercoaster together.

I just love Aichan’s facial expression through the whole rollercoaster. She’s having the time of her life! … And Rome… in France. lololol.

Well, I hope you guys (or maybe the one person reading/watching this XD) enjoyed that video! There will be more Aichan and Risa goodness to come in the coming weeks and months so as to load up on their wonderful friendship before Morning Musume is reduced to having only 1 remaining Gokki. And for now, off I go to get working on translating Aichan’s blog!
