Maeda Yuuka

My last event
is over~!

Everyone who came,
everyone who supported me,
thank you very much

…Though I kinda don’t know
what I should write…

Thanks for coming to this event
on such an important day at the end of the year

The 1st performance and the 2nd performance
I did with all my strength!

Though I don’t really feel like it’s all over,
it was incredibly fun

At the 2nd performance
it went from shots of the original members
until now, and us 3 original members
did a medley

I’m really happy
I was able to do a medley at the end with the 3 of us,
and it was incredibly fun

At the last one
it was full of
pink and white glowsticks

I was incredibly moved!

Though I didn’t plan to cry,
I cried
even though my crying face is unattractive.
I’m sorry (lol)

It was really over before I knew it,
but somehow my tears
wouldn’t stop the whole time.

I’m really really thankful.

I wonder if I conveyed that to everyone
at the handshake event–.

Since I started doing activities
as a Hello! Pro Egg, it’s been probably about
7 and a half years, right?

There were really lots of things
that happened

I didn’t have confidence in anything,
and it was incredibly frustrating
how bad and absent my true abilities were

and there were times
I looked backward
when I thought about everything

Since everyone always gave me comments
and came to events
and supported me

I was really able to think that I’d do my best
and come to this point

I’m really thankful

…Um, putting 7 years into words
is really difficult… ^^;

Since you’ll start to not understand me
if I just write loosely,
I’ll talk simply!

Everyone, thank you very much for everything until now.

Thank you very much for supporting
me like this

That so many people like this
cheered me on,

and that so many people like this
supported me,

I definitely won’t forget!

All of the members,
thank you very much for everything until now

All of you who are always laughing and positive
and strange (lol)
I love you!

Since I think that Yuuka
is probably the one who knows best
what everyone’s good points are (lol)

I’ll always keep supporting you
as S/mileage’s #1 fan!

I won’t forget
that I promised everyone
that sometime I’ll cheer you on from the seats in Tokyo Dome! ＼(^-^)／

The staff-san
who’ve always supported me.

My dance teacher
who would always get angry at me (lol),

My makeup-san
who was always kind to me,

All my co-actors who I’ve been in the care of

My beloooooved Hello! senpai
whose kindness I incredibly respected,

and everyone who cheered me on,

Everyone who was concerned with me,
thank you very much

Even if I graduate
I’ll do my best
as myself!

I want to be happy so much
that I won’t lose to you all in it

Really really, thank you!

Good evening~

Today we had individual handshake events!

So very many
people came

And we talked a lot!

I was favored
by all the kind words
from everyone (lol)

They were also super funny
and so made me laugh a lot!

There were lots of people
for whom this would be the last day too.

I wonder if I properly conveyed
my feelings of gratitude ?

I’m really glad
to have been able to do an individual handshake event at this time

Really, really
thank you

I’ll definitely
not forget today ＼(^-^)／

Manager-san specially
made us some
S/mileage straps

Not for sale~isn’t that great~ (lol)

Tomorrow…… is the last day of the year

and

Maeda Yuuka’s last day
in S/mileage.

I somehow don’t feel it at all
and I really have not been thinking of anything
to say or to write tomorrow
so now I’m rushing a bit lol

I feel like
I won’t be able to sleep today~ (lol)

The 7 years I’ve had until now
I really don’t feel
will be over tomorrow

And so I’m in a condition of wondering what to do tomorrow
but what I can say now
I’ll say anyhow with all my heart
and have a stage with no regrets.
So with that.

I’ll use up all I have!!

Everyone who can’t come tomorrow
please support me

And everyone who’ll be coming tomorrow
let’s get energized together~!

I hope the last day of the year

will be the best

Okay then, everyone
goodnight

P.S.

Even though I said I’d post a lot today
I’m sorry I was only able to
3 times…

Break time was shorter than I imagined. (lol)

I hope I’ll be able to
do lots of updates! (lol)

Earlier, before separating,
everyone went to
Tower Records Shibuya~~

We all
filled the entryway! (lol)

So we went for
commemorative pictures

Does it look good on me? (lol)

This was from my individual breaktime

Morning~

There was a photo event yesterday~!

An awful lot of people
came for us. Thanks

We really played around yesterday.

Ayaka-chan was beside me,
so the two of us did different poses and such.

And also crazy funny faces!
a lot of people told us to do (lol)

I put my all into it too much
so there were many times I felt like I wouldn’t be able to talk anymore lol

And our eyes already wouldn’t stay open
when we were doing it with lots of smiles!

Did everyone get a good picture
for some lasting memories ?

And I snuck out during a break
to be allowed to intrude
on ℃-ute-san’s UST

The things Okai-san made
were really delicious~
I couldn’t eat the fried chicken
Suzuki-san made since I didn’t have time

Though I was worried whether I’d be able to talk
since I was the only one from S/mileage there

℃-ute-san was reeeeally kind,
and I feel incredibly proud

Thank you very much!
I’ll always be your fan

We’re also splitting up
into sentimental groups today~

Let’s put all our strength into it~ ＼(^o^)／

Okay then!

Good evening!

Today I had an event
full of memories
at IMA Hall

It’s Please Miniskirt Postwoman’s!
release day!

I ran swiftly through
all 3 performances

At the first one,
I was allowed to sing Matsuura Aya-san’s
“Watashi no Sugoi Houhou”

It’s the memorable song I was allowed to sing for my first solo
as a Hello! Pro Egg at the Shinjin Kouen
which I reeeeeally love

I’m really glad I was able to sing it~

Though during it, my voice of course
got a bit raspy
and so there were vexing parts too

When we did the handshake meet
so incredibly many people said things like,
“Your solo was great!” or “I was moved!”
or “This song really fits Yuuka”
which made me really happy

Then at the 2nd performance… (lol)
It was already an event for Kanon lol lol

It was really too much the best (lol)

At the 3rd performance
as a surprise from all the fans
the glowsticks in the hall went all pink

I was really moved,
and so I really felt again
that birthdays like this with
everyone celebrating for me
will go away too.

Everyone who came,
I really thank you very much

Yep! Today
I turned 17~

Thank you very much
for so many comments

My ambition for 17 is
though everyone’s supporting me now
after I graduate,
I don’t want to be dependent on anyone

so I want to become a level-headed person
who can do things properly for myself

Okay then, goodnight
