Well, I hate to say it...but I think I'm going to have to end translations for the time being. Between last night when I went to sleep and now (about 11:00PM the next day, essentially 24 hours) Miki has posted 5 entries, all of significant length. I'm still fairly new at Japanese and it takes me quite a while to translate these entries. I know my current daily schedule won't allow me to keep up with her blog at the rate she's posting.

My sincerest apologies to everyone who wants to keep up with Miki's blog. Hopefully someone else will pick it up. I may attempt to restart these sometime in the fall once school starts up and I've got a regular schedule again.

Aesthetic Naado Sonic

Ameba gave me this thing that helps you get a beautiful face

This became popular because celebrities had written about it in their blogs, so I'm really happy

On top of that, it's only 980yen (about $10) online

Things like that are wonderful

Even at that price...

Ultrasonic wave treatment

Ion treatment

It can do those

I wonder if this can even make dry skin good

I wonder if this can make your skin soft

I'm so looking forward to finding out~

Try checking here for more details, okay?

Translation Notes:
- The title of the product Miki is talking about is エステナードソニック ("Esute Naado Sonikku"). エステ is aesthetic (as in, pertaining to beauty) and ソニック is sonic, obviously...but I'm clueless on ナード, so I left it as is. Anybody who knows what that should be, please comment.

Mikitty Wedding (Ring Compilation)

Lately I've been deciding on this kind of thing

It's really at the last moment

My wedding ring

I've looked at many kinds, but...

A stone
With a big size

Is by no means what I'm looking for, so...

I got to draw a design
(Even though...I'm so bad at drawing...)

And

Tada

That's the wedding ring I've been looking for all along

Of course, it's great that I was pleased with it

You buy a wedding ring and on the inner side

You put the characters of a person's name and so forth

I'm looking forward to it

Basket Bag..

Recently

I bought a basket bag

There are many basket bags that open up wide but

As I thought, upon search for one that closed like I wanted, I found it

In Shibuya

Of course, I'm pretty sure it wasn't 4000yen

It was a lovely meeting

It's surprising, but...this is my first basket bag

The Other Day...

The other day, I was on a program with some cutie-pies

First..

My fellow Morning Musume member

Michishige Sayumi

For Shige-san

She has that annoying pose called usa-chan peace

Do a peace sign with both hands, put them on your head, and it's an usa-chan peace

That kind of Shige-san is a cute and easy to talk to person

And...

Haruna Ai-chan

Air Ayaya

Is what they're famous for, but..

Using my tune Romantic Ukare Mode

They do an Air Mikitty as well

Always smiling, they're a kind older brother...

Ah-

I'm Off.

I'm not working all day today, so

I invited my mom and cousin here

And for some reason...

We went to Lazona in Kawasaki

Since that was so unexpected...

We were really excited

And then

We found dojima rolls

Which my mom was really excited about

So we bought one

Since there was cream in it like this, it was easily

The best

Beauty Product.

Since I like mail order and internet shopping

I buy a lot

I'll show you one thing out of the stuff I buy...

This

PIAMONTO Glamour

PLATINUM

Open the case and...

Yup

It's that thing that "roll roll"s your face

But this is a little different from the thing everyone is using...

Last year while I was singing kayoukyoku for a year

One of the older sisters I shared a dressing room with

Told me it was also good for your skin

So I unconsciously bought it too

I've been using it for about a year, and it's got a good feeling

New Character.

Recently, I ran into a new character

The first is one I gave to a friend

Tada

[Picture missing at time of translation >.<]

D-096 Panda (Skull Panda) is what it's called

This character's name as it is, "skull" and "panda", can be made into one word

Shorten it and

Dokupan

I randomly made that up myself... lol

On top of that, I found it again at Kiddie Land in Harajuku

In this picture, there's the size 1

And, for the time being, the smallest size...all the colorful ones lol

The black one is completely pitch black, which I don't really get but
It's the color I'm most interested in

I'll let him be my friend

They're popular with guys too

Mask.

News of things I've noticed recently...

A potential pandemic ! !

It's pretty scary

Everyone, are you doing any kind of preventative counter-plan?

As for me

Wearing a mask at work a lot

Washing my hands, gargling

I'm making sure to do these things

The mask I like to use is
A gauze-like one that I've had since a long time ago, but...

It looks like it could fit inside a really tiny mushroom

I've needed to buy a new mask for a while

Yakiniku

The smoke and so forth that came out had a wonderful feeling

Since it was Mother's Day, ya know

By the way, because I want Shouji's mother to be forever beautiful

I gave her that thing that "roll-roll's" your face

A Platinum Geruma Roller, as a present

Since we're girlfriends `

Upon reading the comments, it turns out there are somehow people who didn't do anything for Mother's Day

Beauty Product

Now, do you all remember this makeup?

"Fresca"
It's from that company, and I've already been trying it for about three weeks but

It gave my skin tone a nice feeling

Guess that's cause it's organic

I'll continue to try it out

Today they did a cute one for me

I upload the picture and

Do you get it?

On my left ring finger is Kitty-chan
On my right ring finger is Mimii-chan

It's because I'm Mikitty lol

Thank you Midori-chan

A- Amazing 2

I was given some face lotion with gold leaf in it
And I uploaded a picture

Where does the gold leaf go

Since I was really interested in that...

I tried putting it on like that

When I spread it around, it got lighter all of a sudden

And then...

The gold leaf is gone

It's like the gold leaf just melted away

Shopping

On my way home, I went to Toco Pacific in Omotesandou~

For a handbag, a sparkly Toco Pacific one, in black

T-shirts

And

Tory Burch rubber shoes

I bought the pink ones

They're rubber, so they're perfect on rainy days too

It's pink again, huh?

There's a small "deep pink boom" within me

Translation Notes:
- Thanks to jantzeeee for help on the second line (after the first picture).
- In the last line...a "boom" in Japan is basically equivalent to a fad in the West...something that gets popular for a while and then dies down. Guess Miki's not expecting her affinity for pink to hang around very long. XD

Mamatty Meal.

Today, Mamatty made Horumon Nabe for me

As I thought, meat's the best

But my parents' home - or should I say, grandma's home - is a yakiniku restaurant, so

I YAKINIKU

Also, I don't really like Japanese pickled vegetables

But I love spring cabbage

So Mamatty found me some Japanese pickled spring cabbage

It was super~ delicious, so I ate it all

Thank you Mamatty

Translation Notes:
- Horumon Nabe is nabe made with the pieces of meat that are normally discarded - intestines and so forth. The name horumon is rumored to come from the phrase 'horu mono' which means 'things that are thrown away' in Osaka dialect. (taken from here)

Raw Carmel＊＊

My senior in the office
Tanaka Yoshitake-san's raw carmel

I was given
This thing that's so popular it's almost impossible to get ahold of

It's different from normal raw carmel because it's circular
Eating it by chomping it in half is delicious

The maccha flavor is a recent new product, it seems

Here's what the contents are like

And strawberry flavor

And normal flavor

It's all delicious

And this box also has

Beat Takeshi's drawing

Awesome, huh?

It feels like even after I'm done eating it, I want to put it somewhere as a decoration

Translation Notes:
- In the title and second line, Miki used the term 'nama carmel' (生キャラメル). Nama means raw or unprocessed, so I went ahead and translated it as 'raw carmel'. From my attempt to translate the Japanese Wikipedia entry on nama carmel, it was created by a farm in Hokkaidou in 2006 with the intention to revive the milk consumption market from the slump it was in at the time. The process to create this carmel used lots of raw cream, so it was named 'raw carmel' to create an image of freshness. (hopefully I got all that right >.>)

Good morning

I slept too much today

And so, without makeup

I'm only a 24-year-old girl once, so this is embarassing

But you know...
Recently, when I think "let's go to sleep" and get into bed...

My eyes

Become awake

And I was so tired until some time ago

It sucks

How am I supposed to sleep like that

"Translation Notes":
- Pretty sure the big fluffy thing in the picture is the huge Hello Kitty pillow Hima-chan was sleeping on in this entry. So cute to think that Miki sleeps with a Hello Kitty pillow <333

Tadaaa

Hair crab

Come to think of it, I haven't eaten crab in a while...but it's delicious

Next

Tuna's cheek meat

Zangi
(karaage, ya know) lol

Fried prawns
I love prawns

Aside from this, I also ate
My beloved tsubukai sashimi

Thanks for the food

Translation Notes:
- Seems that zangi is a Hokkaidou dish which is essentially the same thing as karaage (basically just deep-fried pieces of chicken, although it can be other types of meat as well). Zangi is typically larger than karaage. Thanks to jantzeeee for help with this one (check out the comments for some more details about zangi/karaage).
- Miki already mentioned tsubukai in her blog once before (see this entry). It's a type of shellfish, and it looks like this before being prepared.

Gekisha ! !

Hima-chan is sleeping

So cute

But...
Reeeeeally look

Her eyes are open

Cute and clumsy

Translation Notes:
- From the comments (H!P46), with some slight tweaking for ease of understanding: 激写 (Gekisha) was the title of a series of gravure photos created by a famous photographer, but in general terms it means a high impact photo, often because of the pose of the subject but not necessarily.
- In the last line, Miki wrote ぶさかわ (busakawa), which I guessed to be a combination of the words 不細工 (busaiku; clumsy, unattractive) and 可愛い (kawaii; you all know the meaning of this one :P). Please correct me if you can confirm or deny this interpretation, or if you can come up with a better one.

Impulse Buying

I've been out for a walk all day long

Going to the Home Center

Eating a crepe

But I'm still on my walk

Among the Omotesando Hills

"Jasmine Tea is~ "

Sang a wonderful voice

Who could it be~ Thinking that, I went to take a look

It was

Well known from Shuuchishin and Hexagon

It was Tsuruno-san, doing a CD in-store event
He was great

So I bought his CD on impulse too

It's a hair straightening iron, small enough to fit in a pen case
I've never seen an iron like this before

Impulse purchase

Ah- This has nothing to do with why I'm impulse buying

Translation Notes:
- Thanks to H!P46 for help on a couple different things in this entry.
- For those who wonder who Tsuruno-san is.
- H!P46 came to the conclusion that the last line is probably about the relation between Miki walking around all day and her making all these impulse purchases.

- This is fairly obvious, and it's not unknown information, but...Mamatty is the name Miki uses to refer to her mom. XD Totally adorable. <3
- Thanks to jantzeeee for confirmation on the last line.

Mornin'

Good morning

Everyone, how are you getting along?

Today, my morning started with An-kun's cute shot

Ah- So cute

Take a goooooood look one more time ! ! !

His tongue is sticking out

Translation Notes:
- In the first line, Miki wrote "おはようさーん" (ohayousaan). Apparently it's Kansai dialect. Check the comments for further explanation from H!P46.
