Eri's tour diary (2010.01.03)

The morning I entered the dressing room...
Good morning.
Please continue to support me this year!
Its very morning* now.
I'm sleepy...

After the concerts ended...
We've successfully completed the concerts ~
To those who came for the first concert, to those who came for the second concert, and! To those who came for the third concert, thank you!
We'll still have a lot of concerts to go so please do come and play with us.

*I believe its Eri's version of "very early."

--------------------

As usual, Eri wrote it in the Eririn language and came up with this scene-by-scene idea. Her diary was only sent out to subscribers today even though dated January 3rd. Weird. Bet it took them a longer time to process a different language!

(2009.11.28) Tokushima - Michishige Sayumi (1)

During one of the concerts last weekend, Eri talked about getting her adult photo (20-year-old Kamei Eri) taken before she turns 21. The members then went on to praise her for how cute she was. Thanks to Sayu, we got to see the photo Eri was talking about.

11/28 Tokushima - Michishige Sayumi (1)

(...)

PS. Just in case anyone is confused, although the picture is a picture of Kamei Eri-chan, this is Michishige Sayumi's Pocket Morning Diary..
Eri went to talk her adult photo. She's cute isn't she?
Eri's reason was "Eri isn't going to write a Pocket Morning Diary so Sayu publish it please ~"..
Yes, as she had requested, I published it.
Well, it would be a waste if everyone didn't get to see this cute Eririn dressed in her kimono.

11/14 Hiroshima - Michishige Sayumi (1)

(...)
I had lunch with Gaki-san ~
As Eri was drinking her orange juice, I tried squeezing the bottle she was drinking from mischievously but I used more strength than I estimated myself to.
Unexpectedly...
Some of the orange juice splattered onto Eri's face

I'm currently doing some self-reflection
I'm sorry, Eri
(...)

11/15 Fukuoka - Michishige Sayumi

Look look ~
The SayuEri in this photo...the questionable feel of distance between us (lol)
It makes us look like we aren't good friend!?
It's more like we aren't used to being together with one another rather than not being good friends
It looks like the period of time where both of us were still shy and unable to become attached to another
Although we're really very good friends

The truth is, my hair accessories were being a hindrance
And we couldn't move any closer

Eri said "You have something on the ends of your hair so there's no way I can move any closer!"

We're good friends aren't we?
We can argue over anything.

SayuEri
Will never die CHU* (´３｀)

*Kiss

11/14 Hiroshima - Michishige Sayumi (3)

Here's a quick announcement, everyone
After today's concert...an alien appeared in Morning Musume's dressing room

Yes, there it is!
Kamei Eri's strange tension
Is that...MojiMoji-kun?
It is normal for Morning Musume (Only some of the members though) to be in such a weird tension after a concert but...
Eri is really extreme
She's one weird person...(lol) She's funny
What a fool
I think I like her
Nah, that will never happen! There's no way I like such an Eri!

I love her

[Pocket Diary] 10/12 Gifu - Michishige Sayumi (1)

In one of Eri's recent Pocket Tour Diary, she attached a photo of a decorated item which was given to her by Gaki-san. According to Sayu's Pocket Tour Diary, it's actually a case. Both Aichan and Eri requested for Gaki-san to decorate one for them and Gaki-san did. In fact, she even made one for Sayu although Sayu didn't ask for it. Sayu mentioned that she was very happy and could feel Gaki-san's love.

10/12 Gifu Michishige Sayumi (1)

Good morning ♥
This photo was taken before the rehearsal
Look ☆ My full-of-motivation face. Yes ~
I'm all fired up ♥
Eri still has her eyes closed eh ~
WAKE UP!!
(...)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just updating the Eri-related Pocket Diaries. I scanned through Sayu's Pocket Morning Diaries, not much of Eri content even though there are quite a number of SayuEri photos. It was a nice read though. It's amazing how Sayu never runs out of things to write about.

If anyone is wondering if their favourites have sent out a Pocket Morning Diary, you can refer to this chart which was taken from 2ch.

The headers are the concerts in the different locations. If there's a "-," that means the member didn't send out any Pocket Diary for that day's concert. If it's a circle, it means that she had sent out one. If it's a double circle, that means the member had sent out two for that day.

[Pocket Diary] 10/4 Yokosuka - Kamei Eri

Edit : Post bumped. Picture added.

Hello ~ This is Kamei Eri.
Yaa ~ Both the audience and us were great today ~
The concerts in Yokosuka were so hyper ~ I enjoyed myself ~ myself ~


This glittering item, isn't made by me, it was Gaki-san ~ who made it for me.
Its nice right ~
You know, you know, this is awesome.

Everyone who came to Yokosuka, thank you very much!
Do come again all right ~

With that, this has been Kamei Eri, also known as Kame Eri ~

[Pocket Diary] 10/12 Gifu - Kamei Eri

You know, Aichan, when we were going back from our dressing rooms, she splatted her corn soup.
Then, then, Miss careless girl panicked.
But you know, Miss careless girl is very admirable so,
Everyone helped clean up the dressing room before leaving.
And then, splat.
The one at the side is Manager-san who is same age as Aichan.
This manager-san always gives Eri something to write, and complains when writing this diary... Oh that's rude. Why don't you write it? is what she will kindly say. I like her.
Also, those who came for the concert might know this but, I wrote Gifu on my hand, then at quite an early stage during Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari, the camera caught a shot of my hand but it was erased.
Cameraman-san laughed bitterly, saying he understand that feeling.
And so, many memories were made it was very Gifu.
I enjoyed myself ~

----------------------------------

This entry was fully translated by Steph. She translated it directly from Eri's original diary without re-phrasing a single word so if there are certain random parts that you don't understand, it's perfectly normal because that's how it's like in the original copy.

[Pocket Diary] 10/12 Gifu Junjun

Today's photo

Is a photo of cute me and Kamei-san, who I like a lot. To me, Kamei-san is just like my heart.
Even when the road gets tough, or when there are misunderstandings, Kamei-san will believe me and listen to me. It seems like she tries to understand me ♥ When Kamei-san is around, I will feel secured ♥ She is a very important person to me.

--------------------------------------------

I would absolutely kill myself if I didn't translate this entry.

(Pocket Diary) ~Nine smile~ (09/19-09/20)

Morning Musume's Tour Pocket Diary for ~Nine Smile~ concert has started! No pocket diary from Eri *sigh*. But well, that's our little turtle, and I don't mind her being that way. Anyway, I 've translated some of the members' mails...so, enjoy!

9/19 Matsudo Michishige Sayumi
Nine smile

The first day has came! It has been around 3 weeks after the rehearsals started and its already the actual performance~
I'm looking forward to standing on the stage and meeting everyone
Every time its the first day of a Morning Musume concert tour, the things I'll do in the morning is...1) feel nervous, 2) feel nervous, 3) and 4) eat, 5) feel nervous, basically, its just being nervous.
(Even if I'm nervous, I'll feel hungry. I have a very carefree stomach)
But for today, 1) Looking forward, 2) eat, 3) and 4) are eating too, 5) feel nervous
Ah, I decreased the number of nervousness and the number of meals increased. In the end, I still felt nervous. Whatever it is, concerts are a challenge of our physical strengths. We have to eat more to build up our strength.
I can't wait to go on stage. Ah ~ I can't wait to see everyone


For the photo, if I put it in a nice way, it is to protect myself from getting viruses. If I put it in a bad way, it is a mask to block off my without make-up face.
So for the main function of the mask, its up to you guys to decide. I'm going off.

9/20 Matsudo Tanaka Reina
☆★☆OtsukaReina☆★☆

Look at this photo ~
Its our bus.
Buus. Buuus ~ ~
Fu ~



Its awesome right.
Right? Right? (lol)
The 3 of us took a commemorative photo (≧∇≦)
If I see it in town, it'll really raise my tension.

------------------------------

I really love the way Sayu phrases her stuff. She wrote lots of pocket diaries but I obviously have troubles looking for them since I don't go hunting for them often. Going to just wait for Sayu fanblogs to post them up :P

And now...here are 3 pocket diaries regarding Koharu's graduation.

9/19 Matsudo Takahashi Ai
Hello everyone
This is Takahashi Ai

The fall concert tour has started
There was a sudden announcement, I'm sure it was surprising
Kusumi Koharu's graduation
When I heard about it, I couldn't believe it...I was really surprised
I read Tsunku-san's comment,
"I see. Its a graduation," was my feeling
I have never expected myself to send a junior off so it was a very strange feeling

But! I will not be hesitant
I want to send her off properly with a smile
I'll get pumped up and try my best until the last concert of this tour!!!
And, please watch over Koharu warmly

9/19 Matsudo Junjun
Kya ~ It has finally begun. yeah YEAH. Guess I'm nervous every time before it starts. Thrilling. Nervousness. Haha (lol) Girls' feelings are complicated aren't they. Today, for my hairstyle, I exposed my forehead ~ ~
I wonder how it looked. I wonder if it was suitable for me.
And,
Kusumi-san ~ will be graduating
Although I decided to not cry...
Although I wanted us to be together longer...although I wanted to "quarrel" with Kusumi-san more...
Although we sang "Kousui" so many times together...although we did so many things...
But ~ No matter how far these 9 of us are separated from one another, no matter where we are, our hearts will always be together, that is what I believe it. Yes ~ I believe in that.

Until these 9 members' very last, we will try our best so everyone please continue to support us

9/19 Matsudo Linlin
Yay. Everyone. The concert tour had started. Haha
This will be the last concert tour for this line-up. Kusumi-san is always full of energy and is vert cute. I like her a lot. Even if she graduates, we will always be friends. Of course the shrimp friends* too. I'll be watching over her forever. Everyone too, please watch over her.

Watching everyone's lovely smiles, I'm very happy. The concert tour is going to continue so everyone lets have fun together.

*She said ebinakama. I'm not sure if it has any other meanings or anything, but if I translate it directly, it means something like shrimp friends.

------------------------------

I strongly encourage readers who have yet to read the translations for the Koharu vs Junjun arguments to read them or even, re-read them even though they are really sloppy ^^; Koharu may not be particularly attached to any of the members because of her busy schedule, but they definitely had fun together during concerts and Morning Musume's events. All right enough. I don't want to sound like a hypocrite.

Will be waiting patiently for Eri's pocket diaries ♥

H!P 2009 Summer - Maasa's mail

"Today too, after showing Takahashi-san some funny faces, I...
found Kamei-san!
She was laughing really loudly there
Man~ That is Kamei-san (lol)

...I wonder what funny faces should I make next (lol)
and the discovery of Kamei-san!
I took a picture with her. And got some feedback from her about my funny faces
....
Sorry to keep you waiting! Here you go!

Kamei-san was laughing really hard there
Even though I wasn't making a weird expression...
When I asked her for some feedback from her afterwards, she told me I'm gross.
Sob sob (>_<｡)"

- From Maasa

[07/19] H!P 2009 Summer - Momoko's mail

The picture is from Momo's mail.
She talked about all the 3 seniors in her mail and what was so surprising about her mail was...

"Aichan-san smacks my butt often.
So I'm going to try take revenge when I get a chance to.

Aichan-san...please wait for it~~~"

....

O.O

[Pocket Diary] Anime Expo 2009 - Michishige Sayumi

Not Eri's pocket diary (She didn't write one) but just read it, because Sayu has a message for all the fans who had attended Anime Expo ~

Hi ♪ Hello ♪
Hello everyone

I'm Michishige Sayumi who had returned to Japan

Yes. Everyone, I've went to Los...Los Angeles, yes! (^_^)v

Well, people who knew were there too~
!! You guys really keep track with us don't you~~!!

There were fans from Japan who went to Los too~~!!

This time round, we participated in Anime Expo 2009
And our "3,2,1 BREAKIN'OUT" was the theme song for the event ♪

We had a concert there too!!

The people in Los was very welcoming!!!!

They were all fired up
They gave "oh" "WA" "Fu" cheers in every song and that made me really happy
It raised my tension too

Just by watching so many cosplayers at the event, I enjoyed myself~
I wish I could have joined in the fun since I love cosplaying too
Looking at how the cosplayers looked in Anime Expo, it made me realise the cosplays I have been doing at home are still not up to standard and they made me want to improve myself in that area
What made me feel like going back to Los again is because the Anime Expo was really fun and lots of people came to watch our concert, making precious memories together with us
I feel that I've made some good memories for my late teens after going to Los before my 20th birthday. Also ♪ The last concert of my teens was held in Los and it was a superb concert
I'm glad
I'm grateful towards everyone...Looks like I'm living in happiness afterall
To all the fans in Los
Thank you
Thank you
Also, to those Japanese fans who had made a trip to Los specially together with us
Also also, to those who went to Los despite living far away from Los...
I'm really touched by you guys
Even though we are far apart from one another, you guys are always keeping track of our news, forming the connection between us. Again, from the bottom of my heart, I'm really happy to be able to participate in Anime Expo and meet everyone there
I'll like go Los and of course, lots of other places!!
For the sake of making it come true, I feel that I'll have to put in even more effort than before

All right!! Lets do our best

And the first step..
I've yet to adjust back from the jetlag...so........

She probably went to bed or something, lol.

Yet another new nickname for our P-Kame

Here comes Eri's Pocket Morning Diary!
(No picture was attached)


5/2 Nakano - Kamei Eri
Good job for Nakano's concert
It was fun
I was pumped up
Yassasasa~i
Mossasasa~i
The concert tour is coming to an end
I'm going to get even more fired up!!
Everyone please come and watch our concert
Kame no Suke deshitaa~
(↑The "Kame no Suke"...Abe-shan called me that)

Random as usual. Lovin' the yassasai ~ mossasai fever though.

P-Kame ♥

Yamaguchi 4/4 - Gaki-san mail



Did you see that?

This part.

Gaki-san invented yet another new nickname for our PPP turtle. And its P-Kame!

Also, a new name for the GAKIKAME duo

Giri-Shou
Not too sure what's the meaning behind it, but my guess is that its a mixture of girigiri which means barely and Showa, which is the era that these 2 girls are born in.
Since they are born in the last year of Showa Era, "barely Showa" makes sense to me.

Giri-shou don't sound as nice as GAKIKAME though..but P-Kame sounds cute!
Its now added to one of Eri's nicknames under her profile on this blog!


Ojousan & Giri-shou ♥

Chuu! ♥

Here's another translation of Pocket Morning Diary. This time round, its from Sayu! Recommended for Aichan-Sayu duo lovers.

------------------------
03/22 Matsudo - Michishige Sayumi

Matsudo ♥ 3rd Day ☆
Good job for the 3rd day (Winks)
I had lots of fun ↑↑ (Grins)
As expected, concerts are great ↑↑ They are the best (Grins)

And for today, like what I've promised yesterday, I will take some pictures with other memebers ♥ ♥ ↑↑


First off the 1st picture,
Today is the 22nd of March...yes, its Usachan Peace's day ♥
Before the concert, I've requested Aichan to do the Usachan Peace together with me (Grins)
Thank chuu for doing it without any hesitation, Aichan ♥
Talking about Aichan...Today during the concert, I ♥ kissed ♥ her ♪
I knew Aichan would be surprised if I kissed her, but even though so, she kissed me back
And both of us ended up surprised by one another!!


And now for the 2nd picture ♪
This picture too, was taken before the concert despite Eri-chan only just started on her fringe
↑↑
I told her its okay for her to continue with her preparations but the moment I pressed the shutter, she looked over to the camera's direction ♥
Looking as poke as ever isn't she? ♥


And now for the 3rd picture
One of the many pictures that I've taken with Reina before the concert
Sayumi "Shoyu koto"
Reina "Shio yu koto"*

Alright, thank you for all the fun ♥ I'll be happy if you'll do the Usachan Peace along with me ♥
From Sayumi ♥

*Sayu was holding on to a bottle of shoyu (Japanaese soy sauce) while Reina was holding to a bottle of shio (Salt) in the picture. They were trying to make a pun of their old "sou iu koto" gag.
------------------------

According to a fan, Aichan returned Sayu's kiss during 「Love & Peace! Hero ga Yattekita」
Lets all hope that the Aichan-Sayu love will be on the DVD Magazine.
Its definitely something worth taking up that couple of seconds in the DVD.

And Eri's expression ♥
Have to be posted again.

ポケ～

Something unrelated to Pocket Morning Diary, as we know, Platinum 9 DISCO will be held in Shiga-ken today and Fukui-ken tomorrow, Aika and Aichan's hometowns. Both of the girls' fans have came up with a plan. In Shiga-ken, they will do the Aika call instead of Encore call and will lit up their purple lightsticks. While in Fukui-ken, they will be doing an Aichan call during the encore for the afternoon concert and as for the evening concert, they will do the Aichan call as well as to lit up yellow lightsticks.

Will Aichan be so touched that she ends up in tears?

Eri's a bully?

Bad influence.

Nah not really. There's a "story" behind it. As we know, these concert backstage photos are from Pocket Morning, which has a mail written by the member who had prepared the mail to be sent out to the subscribers. This was the mail that this photo was attached to. A mail from Reina.

「今日の写真は☆亀井絵里☆の登場でぇす

えりってねぇ(≡´Ｔ｀≡)裏では れいなをｲｼﾞﾒるんですよぉ
こわいこわい(笑)

この日記、本人が見よったら終わりやね………
内緒やけんね

みんな言ったらいかんょ(笑)

っとゆ-事で こわい顔で撮ってもらいましたぁ 」
Credits to 2ch.

Translation of Tanaka Reina's Pocket Morning
「Today's photo is features ☆Kamei Eri☆

Eri has..(≡´Ｔ｀≡) been bullying me behind the scenes.
She's scary (lol)

If she were to see this pocket diary that I've written, I'll be dead.
So please keep this as a secret.

Don't leak it out (lol)

Since I'm talking about such a topic, I took a picture with her with our scary expressions.」

It was a joke of course. Eri will never hurt a fly.
But the badass look on Eri's face just makes the photo worth a million more times then it originally was.
