Right now all of Japan

At Last the Final (*^^*)

It's finally WBC time!!!!!
It's the deciding game (*^^*)



Furthermore
We've faced the opponent 4 times
☆Korea☆



Kemeko is very excited～♪



In the past 4 games with Korea
the results have been 2 wins, 2 losses.



Today's game
will really be
the final decision!



I hope we can win without fail (>人<)



Yesterday's game
gave me a really good feeling.



Today's game
Samurai JAPAN
will not fail☆
Let's go～Japan!!!!!



♪d(⌒〇⌒)b♪



I'd like to share my feelings
with everyone!



Even though I haven't seen a few games since I was at work,
Kemeko with her utmost effort
supports Japan
even when resting or at work.
So do your best (^_-)



By the way...
Today's WBC partner is



☆Kabuki You☆ (lol)

Yesterday's Hello Ten Party♪

Yesterday's Hello Ten Party



Yesterday we were causing a lot of commotion
So I couldn't get the pictures up until now～






Rika Ishikawa-chan
&
Hitomi Yoshizawa-chan
&
Tsuji Nozomi-chan



☆Some of my favorite companions☆
The three 4th generation members
It's been so long
since we've been active together...
It's kinda cool that
they're the cute juniors (-^□^-)
Doing this, it's almost like the four of us
shine a little bit in the picture...
I was so close
that I could feel the pulse
from Yosshii's neck (lol)






Asami Konno-chan
&
Makoto Ogawa-chan



It's the 5th generation members
I took a picture with the 2 of them!
I used to feel like Konkon was a little girl
but she's become a beautiful woman,
I think.
Makkochan is the kind of person
who will always be a playful kid ( ´艸｀)
The juniors are cute♪






First generation senior
Kaori Iida-chan o(^▽^)o



When I first joined Hello! Project,
Morning Musume's founding members...
I felt like I was included and appreciated.
First generation members,
thank you...☆






Last...
but not least ☆Mari Yaguchi☆



With Yaguchi,
together, we could get
over anything
She's been my best partner
for the longest time (o^-')b



If Yaguchi hadn't been there,
there were a lot of things
that I couldn't have done alone.
When we become old grandmas
we'll probably still be laughing together
sitting on the veranda (lol)



Hello! Project
has been like a family to me.



Graduating from it,
it feels kind of lonely,
but it's not the end
Because I'm going to make a new start.
Yesterday's event
I didn't cry
and I could end the day with a smiling face.
I'm glad o(^▽^)o



Hello! Project's Kei Yasuda
might be officially graduating
on March 31st
but yesterday
was the last event...



We've always walked together.
It was really nice
being able to say "thank you"
to all of the fans
for the last time☆



For loving us, and support us,
everyone...
Thank you so much.
There has been 11 years of memories,
and again with everyone,
I'd like to make a new collection
of memories (*^▽^*)



Truly, truly,
thank you very much!!!!!
And now,
from now on, without changing,
I ask for your support ☆



Ah～ you know..



This blog really is great after all♪
I can't convey my feelings at events
but with this, I can!



Writing in this blog
it's been really good ～ヾ(＠^▽^＠)ﾉ
I'm thankful for Ameblo!



From now on via my blog
If everyone shares their stories with me
It'd be really nice☆



Ok, ok
Keme's done ♪(*^ ・^)ノ⌒☆


PS ・ Thanks for reading such a long entry

☆Samurai JAPAN VS America☆

And today of course!
I'm also watching baseball～(≧▽≦)/




Are you guys watching too?
Go Japan!




By the way...
To accompany today's baseball game,
we have Wasabi Senbei (lol)




It smells really good～(#^.^#)




Alright! I'll be enthusiastic
and support～♪

Thank You (/_;)

Yesterday...




It was my very last event with Hello Project☆




All of the fans
have always been by my side
even at this important event.




We were able to finish
peacefully!




There's a lot of things
that I want to convey, but...




After getting ready tomorrow
I'll put up the picture for you
that everyone too together☆




To everyone who came today
☆Thank you for your love☆




For those who couldn't come
thank you every one
for your comments☆




See you tomorrow...

☆Close Friends☆

Yesterday,
since Deka-chan stayed over
my place again



When I got home from work



I was greeted by
Princess Pearl and Deka-chan
together (*^.^*)



It was so great
that they could house-sit together!



Yep～♪
They are good girls [musume] (●^o^●)


Hehehe.

Nice Weather〜♪

The weather is good
and I feel great ～(≧▽≦)/



It's nice and warm～♪



On your day off because of the holiday,
what did everyone do?



I hope everyone had a fun
wonderful day off☆



I'm off to work
let's do our best together!



I'm heading out now v(^-^)v

1st Place (*^o^*)/~

Yay!!
Japan has moved up a place☆


Afterall, Samurai JAPAN are really cool～(●^o^●)♪



Somehow...
while seeing this
a tear came down from my eye (/_;)



I did not look at baseball
so seriously before now...



This year's WBC, somehow,
I think I get the rules.
It'd be nice to see the game
inside the stadium (*^^*)



Well... at my family's place
seeing the game
with the commentary of my mother
still was fun (lol)

Samurai JAPAN VS Korea

The 4th game against Korea!!!



Today
I really hope we win against Korea (≧ε≦)


I want us to win (/_;)
Fight on～♪








Today... there's no cola but... I'm supporting while eating Curry Sembai (lol)

A Visitor (*^^*)

Yesterday...
My good friend Sakura's dog,
Deka-chan, stayed over
at my house (*^^*)



I was a little nervous since it was the first time visiting,
but everything went okay because she's a good puppy.







Since Princess Pearl and Deka-chan are both here, I'm in a good mood☆



After all, Woof-chan
was healed～♪







Because the two of them keep running around...



Taking their picture together... it's not easy to do (lol)

Awe〜some (*´∇｀*)

☆Samurai JAPAN☆



They won 5-0 v(^-^)v



It's so great... (/_;)
I'm really moved!!!!!



Well～
I'm in a good mood ☆



Everyone, today
please drink
some good alcohol (lol)

☆WBC☆

Today... I'm not drinking
beer during the day




I'm drinking cola
while I support (≧▽≦)/




In the game against Cuba
Japan is doing
their very very best～!




They persevere so hard
It's so cool (#^.^#)




Even at my mom's house
I yell every time they score
Yeah～ yeah～ It's exhilarating (lol)




Go Japan～!!!!




Because I can't see some of the games
while I'm working
Kemeko must support them
when she can v(^-^)v



Fight on～
☆Samurai JAPAN☆

Today is Vivian's Birthday☆

Today is...
the birthday of my good friend Vivian Sue-chan (*^^*)



☆Vivi～☆
Congrats Chu!(^3^)-☆



Now Taiwan, or Beijing
or Hong Kong... Since she's
been busy in Asia



We can not as meet as often
as we easily could in the past



Meeting up after 10 years...
She's changed
into an important friend (^_-)



With all my heart in Japan...



☆To my favorite Vivian☆
☆From Kei☆

After the Louvre...

My good friend

☆Sakura Nakamura-chan☆



Yesterday after work,

Since we went to the Louvre exhibit together,

On our way home we went for Korean food o(〃＾▽＾〃)o



Sakura is a show model!!!

Her height is 175 cm



So T-! Tall (＠Д＠；



Since Sakura's legs are really long

when we're walking, she always gets ahead of me (lol)



Which also makes me think...

With our different styles

it makes me a little embarrassed σ(^_^;)



She's such a style expert

This is the food we ate







☆Samgyeopsal☆



It has lots of pork and vegetables

I tried to roll it while I ate it

It's REALLY good ヾ(＠＾(∞)＾＠)ノ



I took a lot of vegetables

And the pork has a lot of vitamins...



Yes～! It's healthy～!!!!



Well, about this menu...

I also ordered

a beer (lol)



Well～ Anyway, yesterday

was one more perfect day☆



Alright! Baseball is on today too!

I'll support them о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆



Everyone, let's support them together♪

☆Louvre☆

Yesterday...



☆LOUVRE☆
I went to see the Louvre Art Exhibit (*^^*)



It's in Ueno
This was the first time I went to
the National Museum of Western Art!



The Ookan Sakura trees were blooming
and it was really pretty～



It'll probably be even prettier
next week (*´∇｀*)
While thinking about that, on to the art museum!



I didn't know much about the paintings but...



It's really great to be able to see the real thing♪



I went back and looked at the life of the people in 17th century Europe.



In the past, when I went to see the Millet [Millais?] exhibit I was impressed, the art is really great!



I had to wait so long to come to here,
I made sure to buy my favorite paintings as postcards.







Aren't they pretty???



Little by little, I'll probably get more

of my favorite postcards (＝⌒▽⌒＝)

But I was Getting Into It (>_<)

I've only got to see up to the middle
of the baseball game...



I was really starting
to get into it (>_<)



But



If I don't go to work, then...



I'm heading out☆

Do Your Best Samurai JAPAN (*^o^*)/~

Recently, I've become obsessed
watching the WBC♪



It's starting soon～！




Do your best Samurai JAPAN (*^o^*)/~




I'll hurry up and remember
the rules of baseball (lol)

☆Carefree☆

Today is passing
at a care～free pace (*^^*)



Because it's nearly time
to start rehearsing



Being able to be carefree at times like this becomes important!



When rehearsals start...



Because I won't sleep as much
and can't rest my head,
now I am building energy
inside myself (lol)




Every too, when you have the time, please relax♪



The princess of the house
is also carefree and relaxing.



A time like this...
It's happy☆

☆Spring☆

And finally...




It's
☆Spring☆...




I wanna go see the cherry blossoms (*^∇^*)




Spring has just come
and little by little
a happy feeling comes over me!




Yes～♪ It's a good feeling.

☆Wanko & Nyanko☆

"Wanko & Nyanko"
broadcasted today～!




Which I forgot to watch completely～




(￣□￣;)!!




And to my shock↓↓↓
If I don't get the DVD, I won't see it.




Gahh～ but...




Today...




What a surprise
I was asleep (-o-;




Why, Kemeko,
do you sleep so much?




I sleep so much
Tonight...




I will probably sleep...




But I'm worried




When I get on the futon




3 seconds... certainly (lol)

The Event Finished ☆

We finished!
☆Hello Ten Party☆



There were a lot of people who came... We sang, and we shook hands...



It was fun (*^.^*)



It was an opportunity to stand
on the same stage with the juniors
When I think about it, it's a little
sad that we're decreasing?... but...



Doing this with the juniors, the fans, and everybody, it's a pleasant memory I can share



It makes me happy♪











Thank you for your love☆



It's like that whenever I sing in front of the fans...



Thank you very much!



Since I'm always happy
I wonder if
I should have a beer today too (lol)

☆Zepp Tokyo☆

With the second performance ending
now it's time to rest (*^^*)



Afterall, the time I spend with all of the fans really makes me happy♪



I'll make the third event
just as fun (≧▽≦)/



I'll post again in a bit～☆

The Weather's Bad, but...

Good morning (*^^*)



Today is the event, but...
The weather is unfortunate!




I was watching the news and
the the transportation there seems rough



To everyone who is coming today
I'm worried if it'll be
okay... (>_<)



To the people who are coming
Please pay attention
to your health☆



The weather is bad, but...



Today, too I'll go
with energy♪



I'm going now～☆

Woof-chan's Words.

Recently, Princess Pearl
has been more talkative (*^^*)


Maybe she's desperately wants to tell me something...



I dunno ┐(´～｀;)┌



In the past...
Woof-chan's words
were translated by a machine



I attached something to the dog treats
when we were at my family's house.



"You understand
what Woof-chan is saying?"
What's so interesting
when you see the family...



A dog treat-woof! she would say, and since I could see the machine



"Play with me～♪"
says the indicator.



"Wow～ (*^o^*)," everyone would say with excitement!!!!



My enthusiastic dad
"Okay! Dog treats and playing (*^∇^*)"
whenever she was near...



『ワン！！』
Only one more treat
"Woof!!"



When I look at the indicator...



"Don't come near me!"



(￣～￣)ξ



Ever since...
maybe I've understood too much
of what the dog was saying?
Tha～t's what I think.
That's Kemeko for you (lol)

[Translator's note: So this post was kind of confusing, and I'm pretty sure I got some parts wrong. But I think the idea of it is there.]

Seriously Delicious Rayu (≧ε≦)

I received this
from a friend!!!



From Saikan Wong-san in Kyoto
☆Rayu☆






This...
is no ordinary rayu!



Unless you go to the store in Kyoto,
you can not get valuable ones like this...



Whatever↑↑↑↑↑



I like eating it directly on top of rice (^-^)b



Ta～da♪








Kemeko's such a glutton... I tried it immidiately!



Such a good feeling (●^o^●)



And still!
I was suprised when I ate it↑↑↑



It was really so delicious
with the rice.



Before this rayu
isn't sold anymore in Kyoto
I recomend getting some if you have the chance～(#^.^#)



It's really good!
I became a fan.



☆Osawa-san☆
Thank you
very much
for this valuable rayu (*^^*)




Since I don't want to waste it, I'll eat it sparingly～ (^0_0^)

Hair Color (^_-)

Yesterday at the beauty salon
I just got my hair colored♪



I was treated in the care of Nakamura-san by the time I left (^_-)



The color does not have
any red in it!



As for the cut?
I asked Nakamura-san
What kind of feeling does it give?



"It's full but light...
It gives a feeling of love!" she said (lol)



Yep～...



I don't understand
what goes on in Kemeko's head (-o-;



Nakamura-san,
Thank you very much (*^^*)

☆Black Satsuma☆

Yesterday, before going the beauty salon



I went with a friend to get some Satsuma (Kagoshima) food



☆Black Satsuma☆ was the name of the place



That we went to ヾ(＠＾(∞)＾＠)ノ



Because I was really hungry



I ate a lot (lol)



I ate a lot, so I really felt like I was turning into
a gourmet reporter ('-^*)/






First up,
☆Vegetable Appetizers☆
Raw vegetables
really taste great
when they're nice and fresh o(^-^)o






Next up,
☆Mentaiko & Cucumber & Sweet Potato Chips☆
Since we finished most of the side dishes,
We began to drink sake... (lol)





And then
☆Hiyashabu Salad & Octopus with Green Onions and Sauce & Pork Stew☆
All of them were really good (≧▽≦)
Especially the stew～♪





We kept eating!
☆Chicken Shashimi☆
I loved the menu!!!!
As for me,
I had plen～ty of garlic (^ε^)♪





Then, then,
Last main course!!!!!
☆Pork Shabu☆
The pots made at the restaruant went by quick♪
At that place, there were a lot of things
full of collagen put into the pots～!
It's really dangerous, how delicous it is
I really liked their shabushabu☆



Well～ looking back over the menu

I'm a bit suprised ∑ヾ(￣0￣;ﾉ
by us...
It really was a lot
the ammount that 3 women
were able to eat (lol)



But
It was de～licious (´0ﾉ｀*)


Ha...(^_^;)
Yesterday I overate
But today I'll try my beーst☆

☆The Beauty Shop☆

I arrived～(≧▽≦)/



Because my roots
are becoming really visible,



I came to the beauty shop!



Because spring is here
I want to be fashionable↑↑↑



Today, I wonder
what color my hair will be～♪



Today
Since I always take charge
Nakamura-san,
I'm leaving it to you (#^.^#)



Please take good care of me～!



I'm excited (^・^)♪

☆I'm Going Out☆

Today the pollen
is really bad (/_;)




I took some medicine but
I let out a mega sneeze!




It's not possible to
make a sneeze
any cuter than it is




But I tried to practice...
I failed (lol)




I might be defeated by the pollen
but I'll head out without feeling dishearted!




Recently, because my computer
has been in a bad mood




I'm taking it to the person
who always checks on it and fixes it☆




If I don't get it fixed soon
I won't be able to use it (^_-)



I'm heading out～♪

How Much Do You Pay To Use the Internet?

[Translator's note: I'm pretty sure this is just a giant advertisement entry on Kei's blog to
convince people to switch their internet provider.



I also don't believe she wrote it herself, because the post is littered with emoticons, and she doesn't usually use them, and the writing style isn't much like hers. I have more stuff to be translating at the moment than an advertisement for Ameba, so I will be skipping this entry for now and possibly coming back to it later.



Enjoy the two pictures of Kei they uploaded with the entry!]

Good Morning (*^^*)

Good morning (*^^*)


It happened!



Usually Kemeko sleeps in late, but...



I got hungry
and my eyes awoke (lol)



I'm such a
glutton (-o-;



Right after that happened
I ate some
tameki udon↑↑↑



Yes～♪
It was satisfying～(●^o^●)



Always when I'm eating
Princess Pearl likes to say
"Please!"



Today she seemed drowsy though
and slept soundly in her bed!



That doesn't seem like a dog at all (lol)



I hope today too
is a good day...☆

I'm Watching Baseball Today Too!!

I'm watching baseball again today (*^^*)



And naturally!!!



There's a beer in my hand (lol)



Because I'm
watching my calories...



Today I'm having one
that's sugar free☆



The story of me counting calories as I start to drink...



I try to watch my calorie intake but...
As for the beer
I can't stop～ (lol)



Even though
I'm a Kemeko
who can't understand the rules of baseball...



Today too, with all my effort,
I must support them♪



Every～one
Let's support them together↑↑↑



Do your best! Samurai JAPAN (*^o^*)/~

A Discovery!!!

Hello 8(*^^*)8



Yesterday...
After Rika-chan and I
got tasty Korean food...



We bought some snacks at the convenience store
and had fun at my place♪



Kyah～(≧▽≦)/
At the convenience store
and I discovered they had my favorite!!!!






These are awesome potato chips～!



The smell of sesame oil
is good～ (●^o^●)



Eating these delicious chips
with Rika-chan!
It's a a really good time～↑




If it's good for everyone too
please go out and try some～☆
