Now now Reina.. don't embarass them too much that they want to quit the band before it even started

Thoae are good pictures -- particularly the last one. And there's something about Marin's smile in the one with Reina that completely wins me over -- and Marina's smile in the last picture. It looks like they're all getting into the silly-pose spirit! :lol:

Still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that Reina is the oldest one there by a couple years.

Also, I predict that their videos will use a LOT of perspective tricks. :whistling:

Or Reina could just stand on a box when she sings.

OK -- that might be a little obvious. Maybe platforms...

i'm sure she has boots that make her a few inches taller

Probably -- and actually, a short girl singer in a band made of of taller girls can look kind of cute. It worked for PrincessPrincess:

Second birthday? lol

Yappii

There were so many comments, I was surprised.

The same level as when it’s my birthday lol

Thanks

There were comments saying, “You’re graduating, but it’s not like you’re gonna die“…

That’s right (lol) Reina is gonna keep living for a while I’m only 23 years old, after all lol

There were a lot of comments saying things like, “I really am sad, after all.”~

Why?

Maybe it’s because I will no longer be called “Morning Musume”~

But Reina is looking forward to her future activities, you know

“That’s right, if the name ‘Morning Musume’ is taken away from me, will I be ok…”

There are times when I think that, too

and there are times when I think,

“Moreover, maybe everyone loves ‘Morning Musume’s Tanaka Reina,’ not ‘Tanaka Reina’ “

“If that’s the case, when the ‘Morning Musume’s‘ is removed from my name,

will the people who like ‘Morning Musume’s Tanaka Reina’ search for a new girl to support

within the Reina-less Morning Musume?”

I think about lots of things, right? Even this Reina does that (lol)

But you know, I think my life was decided from the time I was born (←If Sayu were here, it seems like she’d say, “It’s come out again! This kind of talk,” or something like that. lol)

I also think that it’s settled whether I have or don’t have luck

But with my entry into Morning Musume, it seems like I’ve used up my luck in one go lol

I haven’t done any band activities at all, so I can’t tell how it will turn out…

but for now, I’ll put up photos that I took with the band lol

Rock pose

At the time, everyone had just met for the first time (We met for a moment at the conclusion of the audition, but this was the first time we talked.)

Everyone went along with the poses that Reina suggested

(´ψψ｀) !!

They’re girls who easily join in, so I’m relieved

I’m gonna introduce them one by one, ok?

First is

Okada Marina-chan on vocals

19 years old

She totally got into making a weird face. lol

Continuing

Guitar, Miyazawa Marin-chan

19 years old

She’s beautiful, isn’t she???

Last!

Guitar, Uozumi Yuki-chan

21 years old

The way she played guitar was cool

Everyone seems so mature

Marina-chan and Marin-chan are only a year apart from Iikubo

They don’t look like iiiit (lol)

When I think about it, Iikubo seems like a middle schooler both inside and outside, huh? (´ψψ｀)

But well…look who’s talking. lol

Lastly, with everyone

Aiin lol

I wonder what kind of songs the band will sing

When I first heard Marina-chan’s singing voice, I was surprised, so everyone, look forward to it, ok?

We’re gonna do live shows, too~

We’re also gonna do karaoke tournaments and birthday events~

↑I just said that again without consulting anyone, though. lol

Being able to do activities as a band like this,

becoming able to sing, do live shows, perform, and other things, in front of everyone,

even growing to love singing even more,

it’s all thanks to Morning Musume and Tsunku♂san who put Reina in Morning Musume,

and also all the fans who support me,

so I’d like to spend the next half year as Morning Musume’s Tanaka Reina with gratitude to all those people

After that, please support the band’s Tanaka Reina, too :rabuarbu2: :!!:

I’d like to pass the time with those feelings :nihihi:

Anyway, it’s not like we’ll never be able to meet again in our lives just because I quit,

so don’t be sad

Got it

I’ll work hard yay yaaay

For the first time, it looks like I might go over the character limit. lol
