AikyanBlog 6-30-20: Five years😈

Five years of Aqours! Congratulations! Thank you!

The last five years I've spent with everyone have been more meaningful than anything else could be

Every day, I'm reminded that I'm truly living out the days of my youth

I treasure everything we've done on the path we walked together

I'm thankful to everyone, and I'll have love for them forever. And ever!

The days we worked up a sweat were filled with love and joy That was a first for me

I thought, "Forever! I want this to go on forever!" "I want to be with Yohane forever," "And be with Aqours forever!" "I want to sing with them forever! Together!"

Meeting Aqours Meeting Yohane Meeting everyone And meeting all of the people who support us It made me really happy.

Thank you so much for everything! I'll keep counting on you from now on, too

We were all surely bound by fate Friends destined to meet each other So together, we'll keep on taking on all sort of new challenges

Aqours will always be challengers.

It's cooler that way!

I'll do my very best to bring Love Live!, Love Live! Sunshine!!, Numazu, and Aqours to more and more people!

That goes for the Dome Tour, too. It'll make it to you!

And... It's almost July, and almost my beloved Yohane's birthday...!

I can't go to Numazu on 7/13 for Yohane's birthday this year... But once everything has calmed down, I'd love to stroll down the town where she lives!

If every little demon celebrated Yohane's birthday at home, I'm sure she'd be happy😈😈

I'm sure Yohane will descend wherever you may be!❤️ Give summoning Yohane a try!

I'm still thinking about what I want to do this year...❤️❤️❤️

I'm not sure if my feelings got across to you or not...( ´•ω•` ) This has gotten a little long,

So for this wonderful anniversary, I'll say Thank you. ❤️

AikyanBlog 2017.07.13 Yohane’s Birthday celebration

July 13, 2017 It’s Yohane’s birthday!!

I welcome this day.

I wondered what I should do to celebrate I’ve always thought about it

I even thought about Cosplaying Yohane completely and perfectly (laughs)

Or making a magic square cookie.

It was like fate that Gema-kun also had his birthday together with her So I thought about making a Gema-kun cake too… (Gema-kun is Numazu GAMERS’ official mascot)

But.

I was looking at Twitter

I saw many cute sides of Yohane, And all the love to her That kept on increasing.

I was really happy. It was as if it was personal.

As I thought. I had to go!

As if it was fate, I had the day off On Yohane’s birthday.

As if it was fate, my family also had the day off.

I had to go to Numazu!! My heart ended up feeling that way.

I went with my family!

I’ve always, always, always Wanted to explore this place with my family!

I brought them along… I’ve always wanted to take them here.

Numazu!

I felt bouncy With the feeling of introducing them to it And pride towards it.

It was really great That I went during Yohane’s birthday!

Everyone in lovely handmade yukatas.

They’re really cute.

Even Yohane’s special rain Poured within Numazu.

I wondered if everyone was going to be alright.

As for me, The rain makes me sad And I don’t like getting wet So to pump myself up, I rolled up my hair.

“This is already expected from Yohane,” I ended up feeling this way.

(laughs)

I also heard that The shark sleeping bag was announced While in the Numazu Suruga Bay rest area.

The timing was perfect.

Then lightning struck the rest area And unbelievably, a blackout happened All the little demons Looked like they got really excited…

Oh…

Even in Yohane’s misfortune, A miracle happened…

Just as expected!! The mark of a little demon! I received it! Somehow.

Even small misfortunes Can become happiness. Somehow.

Because I met Yohane I encountered A lot of misfortunes (laughs)

Naturally, I ended up enjoying it (laughs) Thank you.

Ahh It really brought about a miracle…

I felt the twines of fate with Yohane All the way to the mountains!

Right after I arrived at Numazu A downpour started, and right after I bought an umbrella It dissipated.

I went to visit the Izu-Hakone train And when I saw the Yohane front plate It stopped Right in front of me.

Hey. So good.

While I was exploring town I also encountered An Aqours bus.

On the way home A Yohane taxi Passed in front of me.

It’s… really true!

The me right now Is all for the sake of meeting this fallen angel.

I will think that way from now on.

And so I really do want to visit Every year once again.

Thank you for descending To my side.

My current dream Is to fulfill lots of wishes together with Yohane.

For that reason I will do my best.

Let’s do our best together.

I won’t forget all the love from various people And do my best.

Thanks for all your well-wishes On Twitter as well!

I’m really happy!

From the little demon, Aikyan.

AikyanBlog 6-27-19: Next Sparkling.

Thank you again for coming to

Love Live! Sunshine!! Aqours 5th LoveLive! ~Next SPARKLING~!!~ on 6/8 and 6/9 at Metlife Dome! 😈

I didn't write a blog, so here I go~

I feel like in our 5th Live, the movie's music was able to bring you both Aqours in the present, and the future of Aqours!

There were a lot of new songs that we were able to perform I was nervous, but because you all got so fired up with us I had a really fun time.

And this was a live where I felt the bonds of Aqours even more than usual.

And of course, our bond with our 10th members.

When I saw the rainbow you all made for us, I felt that Aqours will still be able to move forward from here.

Thank you so much.

We had the songs from the movie this time

so there was both the atmosphere and emotion of the movie.

It wasn't all fun and exciting songs There were a lot of quieter parts, too There were times where I wanted to cry because the songs were overflowing with so much emotion

I ended up teary-eyed the entire time (lol)

Especially right before Next SPARKLING!!.

On stage, when the first and second years were standing in a ring, it felt a little lonely

But when we sing Next SPARKLING!! I have a lot more fun than when we sing any other song.

Maybe it's just like Yohane says "It's the song of our beginning"

I thought about it like that And I put all my feelings into singing this important song.

You know, everyone's closing comments felt like they had a lot more emotion in them than they normally do.

But I want to say just one thing loud and clear.

Aqours will keep on chasing our dreams!

Don't worry! You and I are still in the middle of chasing them.

That's why from here on out, I'll keep chasing the radiance.

I want to spread my wings even bigger together with Yohane!

6/30 will be Aqours' anniversary.

I'm looking forward to celebrating it with you all 😈

And also, Yohane's birthday is in July! I'm still thinking about what to do~😈😈

There's still lots to come.

I'm excited!

AikyanBlog 9-15-19: Hamuriha.

On 9/13 in Nakano ZERO Hall we finally, finally had a public Public Rehearsal!!!

It was a wonderful event with lots of staff ham-bers!

Thanks so much!

The feeling of unity between all of the staff ham-bers, the smiles, the cheers, the nursery rhymes...

Hamuriha... It makes me wish we could do a public Public Rehearsal every time! (lol)

Looking back, it's been about two years I've done Hamuriha every month And I think I've grown in a few ways.

In my heart, I just... Just a bit! I want to praise myself a bit.

Things I never saw myself doing, and things I told myself I could never do. I feel like I've grown.

And it's thanks to aaaaaaaaaaaall of you staff ham-bers.

I'm alone on screen, but on the other side, all of you staff ham-bers are there🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷

Rehearsing with all of you

Thanks again!

I'll keep, keep doing my best( `•ω•´ )!

AikyanBlog 8-17-19: yipyip!

Once again, Shinjuku! Osaka! Nagoya! Fukuoka! Thank you all for coming to the yipyip meet and greet!

Gyouba-san and I really obsessed over the designs And it really felt like you all were really treasuring those special clothes

Thank you so much.

I'm happy to see everyone posting their yipyip outfits on Instagram.

Those moments where you fuss over how you're going to wear it are really special.

For the yipyip events, I was secretly having fun making outfits, and it was really exciting thinking about what clothes would go well together

And those moments are definitely great! I can feel our mutual love.

Stay excited for more yipyip! I still have a ton of ideas

How's your Golden Week going, everyone? I'm a little restless. A little bit nervous. It's embarassing (lol)

Once again...

Thank you for coming to Aqours' first Asia Tour!

We made so many memories in every location.

This tour that started in Shanghai was something new. We brought you something that was supposed to be like both a movie and a concert.

In a way, we went back to our roots on this tour We wanted to show you all just how much more Aqours' story is shining

Saying our lines for us And singing for us There's even more ways to enjoy lives now.

We may not speak the same languages But through Love Live, we connected with each other.

All of your love for Love Live reached us.

Thank you so much.

Even across the sea, the 10th members of Aqours love us so much.

I'm even more proud, and even more in love with Aqours now.

Thank you.

And I'll give it my all for our upcoming 5th Live!!!!!!!!!

Wait for us, everyone.

It's the beginning
