Konnichiyu ฅ۶•ﻌ•♡
I turned 20!
I’m an adult Chi~yu~ \( ˆoˆ )/
❤︎Chiyu Birthday❤︎~I’m not a kid anymore!~
A lot of people came to see me!
Thank you so much!!!
I packed in a lot of things I wanted to do
and the hour and a half went by in the blink of an eye!
① First, a lyrics change to “kissy-men”
Chiyu-tan♪Chiyu-tan♪Kyou wa Chiyu-tan♪ [”Chiyu birthday, Chiyu birthday, today is Chiyu birthday”]
It was fun~(*´▽｀*)
② Tenkasu Trio’s “Eien no Trinity”
I had planned on doing it from the start,
but then I heard about Momoka’s graduation*
and I wanted to sing it to the best of my ability.
I really love this song,
and Tenkasu Trio is eternal!!
I had a text exchange with Hinata saying we should sing it together, too!♪
③ ANGERME (S/mileage) Medley♪
“Yume Miru 15 (20)”
“Uchouten LOVE”
“○○Ganbaranakutemo Ee Nen De!!”
“Sukichan"
“aMa no jaku”
My sister said my choices are divine, so I was happy! lol
④ YUI ”Happy Birthday to you you”
→Chiyu acoustic guitar x Conan acoustic guitar
YUI songs were
the reason Chiyu started playing guitar ♡
I was also happy that everyone could sing along!
⑤ Team Syachihoko’s “Lace no Curtain wo Yurashita”
→Chiyu acoustic guitar x Conan keyboard
This was a song I picked as a challenge!
I wonder how I did?
⑥ SEKAI NO OWARI “RAIN”
→Conan keyboard
The keyboard section is intense,
so it felt good to sing to it~!
I love SekaOwa songs so much!
It made me remember “Mary and the Witch’s Delivery Service”~♪ Everyone should watch it❤︎
⑦ Takahashi Yuu “Ashita wa Kitto Ii Hi ni Naru”
→Chiyu acoustic guitar x Conan acoustic guitar
I picked this song so that everyone would feel happiness every day, including tomorrow!
Thanks for keeping the beat for me♡
⑧ Team Syachihoko “Jirijiri Natsu Katsu Iinkai”
I like this song! It’s fun♪
⑨ Team Syachihoko “Dera Disco”
Ii ne ii ne♪ Chiyuri!***←I laughed~(〃ﾉωﾉ)♡
Thank you for the encore call, too!
I was also happy to receive a video message from Honoka and Nao,
and then to my surprise Yuzuki and Haru came on stage♪
I was super happy~\( ˆoˆ )/
Thanks for the cute cake♡
Also,
⑩ Chiyu’s solo song “Naite nanka Inai yo”
Chiyu acoustic guitar x Conan keyboard
Conan played for me quite a bit,
thank you so much!
Please collaborate with me again♪
I also got to sing
a song that I wrote at the end!
I forgot to switch the guitar I was playing
so I ended up a bit wobbly at first,
but everyone listened the who~le way through
and that made me happy!!!
My handwriting is super messy, but I’ll post this for you! lolol
So this is how I started my 20th year!
I can still see many challenges ahead of me,
but I want to clear each one and challenge different things
and become a super adult Chi~yu~!
To those who couldn’t come to the show
thank you for your celebratory messages!
The people who put up posters around town,
the different shops who put them up,
I felt so much love from all of you ♡
For people to be this kind to me, to put their all into a unifying force, to always be supporting me, you’ll always be close to my heart ♡
Meeting all of you, the fans,
has been my greatest treasure!
Please keep taking care of me♪
I’ll be posting the pictures
of the flowers you sent me on Insta \( ˆoˆ )/
Take a screenshot♪
☆Chi~yu☆
Thank you to everyone who came to my birthday celebration in Tokyo and to TIF! It was so much fun!!!!
I’ll give you my thoughts in a blog another day, so be sure to read it!
So then, there was an important announcement for all our supporters.
It was announced that Itou Chiyuri will graduate.
I’m always saying, “I want to repay you all for your kindness!” So to have to send you such sad news is bitter, and hard, and I have plenty of discontent.
When I first heard what was happening from Chiyu, I thought it was some kind of joke. I wanted it to be a joke.
To speak frankly... I was honestly so angry.
And then, sad. Very.
But we said we would go to the Dome as the 5 of us... The 5 of us until the end... We’ve come this far thinking we could get through anything together... Things like that.
It has taken some time to put my feelings in order, and even now I still haven’t adjusted.
But because Chiyu is an important member of the group, because I’ve spent more time with her than I have my family, I want to support her in her dream, I want to value her feelings. I want her to seize a new dream of her own. I feel sadness and a lot of other things, but I like Chiyu’s smiling face most of all.
I think you must all be feeling sad right now. I’m so sorry, I hate to have to make you feel this way twice.
But I don’t want Team Syachihoko to end.
We will push forward on our journey as 4. The 4 of us have each thought about it, and this is conclusion we have reached.
We will definitely make our dream of “Nagoya Dome” come true.
From now on we will be on separate paths, but I hope you will support both Itou Chiyuri and the 4-member Team Syachihoko. Please stay with us.
I say that, but we will work hard as the little bit of time left as 5, so please take care of us.
We have a lot of fun summer concerts in August, ending with SYACHI SUMMER.
I’ll make this summer a more meaningful one. We want to make this an incredible summer with you all. I want to make lots of priceless memories!
Thank you to everyone who came to TIF!
I can feel the love of idols from everyone who comes to TIF in the outrageous heat every year. lolol
I love TIF, too!
This year I was happy we got to hand off to Ebichu to close out SMILE GARDEN♪
It felt really good to close out the show last year, I love SMILE GARDEN!
Please call us again next year! Also if it’s been a while since you’ve seen Syachi, or if it was your first time seeing Syachi, we’ll be waiting for you all at Toyosu PIT♪
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, I’m completely changing the subject to tonight’s LINE LIVE transmission.
Chiyu will graduate from Syachi.
I was upset, more remorseful than sad, thinking, weren’t we supposed to do the Dome together? Now is the time to work for it!
Maybe you all aren’t sure of your feelings right now, I’m sure it’s a number of different emotions making for a complicated state.
I definitely understand her wanting to try different things, and since she has made this decision, I want her to chase her dream with all her heart.
It’s difficult to get the same people to feel the same way and go the same route for years. But because of that difficulty, there will be challenges, and I think they will add to the feeling of accomplishment when our dreams come true.
It’s a huge challenge to our dream for Chiyu to graduate now, and I think it’s a hurdle, but these things happen when dreams come true. I promise that will be the future we can all talk about.
I have no reason to look back, on the contrary, once we become 4 I want to move forward and try even more things as Syachihoko!
I want to keep going so that we surprise you all!
I think we must have caused you all, who love Syachi, to feel sad now, but we will take you to a fun place again, without a doubt.
Leave it to the 4 of us.
Actually, becoming 4 will make it so that we are all more on the same page, going the same way, and we’ll put everything into working hard.
This is when you’d use the saying crisis is an opportunity!
I always want to hold out my hand for you all.
That’s why I hope that you’ll also hold my hand.
First things first, we’ll enjoy our last moments as 5 in Team Syachihoko until October 22.
And from then on it will be the 4-member Team Syachihoko.
I hate the cold so I want it to hurry and warm up! lol
Look after your health ( ´∩︎o∩︎｡` )
This is sudden!!!
But I have an announcement ∩︎(＊´ω｀＊)∩︎
I think some people already know, but I’m going to be taking on a project for the web show “Buzzrase” ＼(^o^)／
And it is....
\To gain 20,000 followers by February 26th!!!!/
I post about tasty restaurants on Insta, and sometimes I try Insta-lives, and I post off-shorts and different work photos ( ∩︎ˇωˇ∩︎)
I’ll keep it going even after the 26th :*:・(*´ω`pq゛
It’s not just about increasing my followers, I want to get lots of different people interested in Team Syachihoko. I want them to come see our shows, too.
That’s the thought I’m putting into this.
Please lend me your strength (；ω；)
Please, if you’re someone who still isn’t following me, definitely definitely do it!!! ! ♪♪
For the people who are already following me, I am accepting advice on how to take pictures or how to use hashtags! ( ´_ゝ`)
Please help me out ＼(^o^)／
By the way, I’ll be the assistant MC on Buzzrase on February 26th at 19:00!!!
Thank you for Syachi Moude! Both the Nagoya and Tokyo performances have concluded.
Thank you all for rushing out to see us.
I got all fired up from the unity and passion of the crowd, even the people in the back and on the second floor were making tons of noise! lol
I thought about how typical that is of live houses and it made me super excited for our tour to start on March 21! All of it? Mostly all of it? is in live houses! Get excited♪
I have events in Nagoya on 2/27, Sendai on 3/1, and Yokohama on 3/2 so come out!
We have free lives on 3/3 in Nagoya and 3/4 in Tokyo! And after 3/9 we’ll be in Hawaii so there’s a lot to look forward to! Oh, and there’s also the coming of age celebration on 2/25!
Syachi Moude was delayed by a month, but thank you to everyone who came anyway and to everyone who watched on LINE LIVE!
We debuted 3 new songs, but you had already thought up some strong interactions with us during them. I expect nothing less of you all (ﾉ｀・∀・)ﾉ
We’ll continue to develop the new songs on tour, but please familiarize yourself with them a little bit now♪
So then, Tenchou’s change. We were all surprised.
I’m sorry for causing any feelings of sadness or any concern about us during our first live of the year. There seems to be a lot coming up this year but not doing things normally is rather Syachi-like, wouldn’t you say? I’ll enjoy every minute of it!
I’ve decided to enjoy everything about 2018 with you all, so please continue to support Team Syachihoko!
Also! I have a happy announcement♪
I will be the monthly assistant for Nippon Broadcasting “Myu~Komi+Plus” for February 2018
allnightnippon.com/mcplus/
I’ll be on the air every Wednesday in February (7th, 14th, 21st, 28th) from 24:00~24:53!!!
It’s a live broadcast! I’m excited!
Please listen to it☆
Okay, see you at Tokyo Syachi Moude~ ＼(´▽｀)／
Thank you to everyone who came to Syachi Moude 2018 THE HALL (^^)
And thanks to everyone who watched on LINE LIVE (^^)
The venue was extremely spacious, and I really like all that halls have to offer♪
It was a suuuper speedy live! lol
We were singing and dancing the whole time! lol
And we performed three new songs all at the same show!♪
・Seijin Universe・Uten Kekkou・JUMPMAN
I love all the choreography and I wanted to show you all so much so I’m very happyyyyyy!
You were all so quick to remember and imitate the moves, as expected of your level of support! (^^)
I hope you’ll continue developing the dances and calls♪♪
Nagaoka--!
It’s the third appearance of Syachi Holiday!!!
It was the funniest thing ever, lol
His full-force pizza call was the best part!! lol
He brought out the serious Nagaoka for rehearsal this time, too (^^)←that’s a secret.
We have the Tokyo performance still to come so I can’t speak too much on it,
but THE LIVE!!!! The setlist is changing, too (^^)
I hope those of you coming on the 10th are excited!
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Yesterday we had a shoot! Today we had a shoot for Zenryoku Syachi-bu THE TV~♪
It was sooooooo much fun...
And such a funny shoot... lol
Also! I was with Chiyu the whole time ☺️ lol
I can’t say much or else I’ll give it away... it’s a secret...
I’ll post more information when I can--!
Wait for it♪
Afterwards we stopped by a filming location for GRAMSPEAR, Grandpa’s coffee shop..
I took pictures!!!
I was sneakily taking a picture from the outside, when a voice called out from inside!!
It was my friends from GRAMSPEAR that I hadn’t seen in a long time..
They gave me a present...
They knew I was coming so they prepared it for me...
Oh no, I’ve gone weak lolol
I’m so happy...
I’ll treasure it...
The location shoot was fun, it was a wonderful day... ♡
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Tomorrow I’ll let you know the details of my birthday♪♪ I’m still deciding what I want to do, though♪
HARUNA STYLE!
Is there something I should do for my birthday, or some sort of Haru you all want to see??
Give me some of your opinions for reference~♪ I’ll read all of the comments you write (^^)
Thank you so much to everyone who came despite the show changing and to everyone who watched on LINE LIVE!!!
This year’s Syachi Moude is our first solo concert of 2018, the first concert since Haru turned 19, Chiyu had her birthday party but this was our first solo concert to celebrate 4 of us turning 20.
It would have been wonderful just to be able to have such a big concert, but to have so many things to celebrate too made the day’s joy multiply ♡♡♡
We had to change the show date so it’s been about a month since I’ve seen everyone, so I was honestly a little worried, but the moment we got on stage, you all put my heart at ease with your cheers and the 5 colors of your lights (；ω；)♡
It turned into a setlist filled with thanks for everyone who came to see the show, and furthermore it was the Nagoya show so we put all of our Nagoya-ness into it ＼(^o^)／
I wonder if it came across how thankful we are for you and how much we love you??
Oh, and also!! We performed three songs for the first time, JUMP MAN, Uten Kekkou, and Seijin Universe~!!
What did you think of the new songs?? (^O^)
All three of the songs have catchy lyrics and the choreography is easy to copy♪
We’re including KaraKara in our spring tour, so I think we’ll be doing it gradually, so let’s raise it up together, okay (*´꒳`*)
Mr. Nagaoka, thank you so much for coming out♪
It was also announced that Tenchou would be leaving us. I’m sorry it came out in such a sudden announcement. Tenchou has written a blog about it, so please read that, and I hope you will be able to accept his thoughts and feelings. Tenchou carried us from the time of our formation to Gaishi Hall, and I really do think of him as a father figure. We’ve had good times and bad times, so much has happened, and Yuzuki made him made enough to roll his r’s more than any of the other members, so I cried a lot, I guess lol.
But even with him leaving us, we have decided to work hard on our path to Nagoya Dome.
I guess it’s like... you turn 20, you separate from your parents, you leave your home, and you step out as an adult member of society.
It’s my dream for us to become something Nagoya is known for.
I want to repay Nagoya in kind once we become a Nagoya specialty!
And then I want to show Tenchou how I’ve powered up at Nagoya Dome once we’ve become a Nagoya specialty!
But the reason we can be like this now is because you all were here for us.
Once again, please lend us your strength so that we can move forward, one step at a time.
Please continue to take care of Team Syachihoko.
♡ﾟ･｡♡｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡♡｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡♡｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡♡
Next is the Tokyo performance of Syachi Moude!!!
I’m glad we can do it in two locations ＼(^o^)／
From here on out, I’ll do my best to treasure all of the relationships I receive!
