I went to see Roselia and RAISE A SUILEN’s joint live「Rausch und/and Craziness」! Both groups had different merits and they took my breath away…!! It was a really wonderful joint live✨ I’m going to let today linger in my mind as I sleep( ᵕᴗᵕ )”

On my way to school while being sad that I can’t participate in a Pokémon GO EX Raid even though I was selected because it’s at a time that I definitely can’t make🙃
Note: these are large scale fights that require a semi-randomly obtained special pass (or invite)
I was glad to have you kindly watching over me…🥰✨ Thanks for coming to see me♡ˊᵕˋ
Note: Okada Mei was the leader of Tenkou Shoujo*, a military-themed idol group. This live was her final performance as part of the group. The three of them are also members of Merm4id!
This photo was taken when I went to an art gallery the other day Each person has their own sensibility, and I think people who can express it are wonderful✌︎
Three days of memories🍃 Gold leaf face pack from Ishikawa Prefecture Toyama Black [ramen] from Toyama Prefecture Tarekatsu & hegisoba from Niigata Prefecture They were all amazing(◜▿◝ )/
Note: tarekatsu and hegisoba are both specialty dishes from Niigata
I’m looking at the pictures from the live and basking in the lingering excitement from today☺️People seemed to have trouble doing the 2 “Merm4id” calls in「ING」the first time around, but they had it down by the second time and hearing it so clearly made me happy🥳
Thank you for coming to #Gekirock🧜🏻♀️💟 It was 1054763 times more exciting than I’d imagined and I had a great time( ᷇ᵕ ᷆ ) I’ll do my best so that I can keep appearing in all sorts of events in the future–!!
Note: There was a drawing game on D4DJ Special Live Stream -Autumn meeting- and Hirajima Natsumi was amazing in it. The goal of the game was to draw what they thought the person before them drew, then hopefully end up with the same thing by the end of the line!
November’s #RebirthNationwideClasses600 schedule🍂 Ishikawa Prefecture, Toyama Prefecture, Niigata Prefecture! I’m going to lots of these prefectures for the first time! Please come and have fun(* ॑꒳ ॑* )🌟

We had D4DJ rehearsal yesterday and celebrated Negishi Ai-san’s birthday afterwards ⸜❤︎⸝ Happy birthday🥳🎉 Every time we meet, it feels like “Merm4id is great, I love them”( *ˊᵕˋ) #D4DJ
For the group work in my university classes, when they announce the person from the group who’ll be in front the presenter is chosen by lottery, rock-paper-scissors, etc., but I’ve almost always been the presenter this year…😕 My draws are too strong😕😕
“What should I tweet…?”, I thought as I opened up my album searching for photos, and there it was((●ﾟνﾟ) Photos with people from the other teams📸 We were dancing to “Rebirth Go!” together backstage🎶 Pictures of the other teams tomorrow…( ⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎ )❤︎
Note: The other two seiyuu are Otsuka Sae (left) and Mimura Haruka (right).
As announced at the New TCG Rebirth Product Presentation I will be playing the role of Kotobuki Saki🐼✨ Mimura-san and Sae-san are in my unit( ˶´⚰︎`˵ ) Let’s enjoy Rebirth!💫 Thank you for your support☺︎ #Rebirth
From the left: Mimura Haruka-chan, Hazuki Himari-chan Ace Crew girlsԅ(≖‿≖ԅ) It looks like we’ll be working together a lot from now on so I’m looking forward to it–!

Once again, I’m really happy to be part of D4DJ☺️I’ll do my best–!
I watched “Diner” and “Tokyo Ghoul S” today🎥 It’s kind of nice watching [movies] in the theater, isn’t it? There’s still more that I want to see so I guess I’ll be heading to the theater again☺️
I went to the chiropractor~My body feels refreshed☺️I was worried about the height of my shoulders being uneven but I’m glad that they got aligned a bit☺️
I even wore a yukata👘 I went with friends from high school, and it was an eventful day where we reminisced about the past and talked about the present!
Thank you for coming to D4DJ 1st LIVE DAY2!! The audience created such a warm and happy atmosphere Did you have fun?? I had lots of fun🥰 Please support Merm4id and Hidaka Saori-chan from here on out!! D4DJ 2nd LIVE is on 10/14!!!

We used pink and blue flowers as the focal point to celebrate their new Dig Delight! single. Orange flowers were added because the color is shared by both Happy Around! and Merm4id. The flowers at the top were chosen to match the flowers on Merm4id’s costumes! Our florist also added a little ikebana flair and balloons to create a gorgeous arrangement!
Roselia×RAISE A SUILEN Joint Live「Rausch und/and Craziness」 I went to see it–! I could just feel the strength at the live. It was so cool I can’t put it into words, that’s the kind of live it was!! It was over in no time…!
This is random but I’d like to get everyone’s song recommendations so please let me know in the replies⭐ I keep listening to the same songs lately and I want to listen to something new! and so that’s why🎶♡
I’m really lost over what to pick for my hometown tax [gift]… Please give me recommendations–! Food unexpected!
Note: Japan has a “hometown tax” system where people in the city can contribute to rural areas to get credit on income/residence tax. In order to encourage more contributions, rural cities started giving gifts as an incentive. This is probably what Oyu is pondering over.
Memories of Osaka ~I felt like I had tons of pinball experience, but I was just playing the GBC Pokemon Pinball before~ ~Stumbled upon the Puyo gacha that I was sorta looking for. I wanted the red Puyo but they’re all cute~ ~I ate the radioyaki that I missed out on last time. They look like Puyo Puyo…not.~
I got excited about the super nice board that was made for me and immediately ended up taking about 40 pictures. Please see attached #RebirthNationwideClasses600
I love these clothes so much and I’ve only worn them once. lol Along the same lines, I’ve set aside all sorts of clothes [for a special occasion] that I’ve only worn once or haven’t worn, but I realized that I’ll miss the right time to wear them if I always keep them in reserve so I’m gonna wear them… I’m gonna wear them.
I thought about how I said this yesterday and wore a different piece of clothing (jacket) for the first time, but it was hot outside so I immediately put it into my bag and went home like that.
Closed down today. This is too sad… The first time I came, the sign outside prohibited anyone under 18 from entering and I was super nervous as I went in. Alone. lol Going in a looking around now, there are tons of games and the tokens are cheap, it’s simply heaven. Thanks, #WarehouseKawasaki!!
Note: Warehouse Kawasaki was a five-story arcade designed to look like the former Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong
Setting out for Hokkaido and the Galar region at the same time It warms my heart that lots of Ghost types are suddenly appearing even though it’s only the start of the game( ˘ω˘)
The December #RebirthNationwideClasses600 have been partially updated–! Fukushima, Fukui, Ishikawa!! My first time stepping into Fukui and Ishikawa…! People coming from afar are also welcome of course, but you should definitely come by if you live nearby–! ┗=͟͟͞͞( ˙∀˙)=͟͟͞͞┛
Quoted Tweet (Rebirth Nationwide Classes 600 December Update)
#RebirthNationwideClasses600 I’m going Hokkaido tomorrow and the day after–! It looks like the temperature will hit below zero so I’ve prepared my Extra Warm HEATTECH✌️Perfect~ I hope to see youu!!
By the way, some people may have noticed but we sign the banner + draw an illustration specific to each location whenever we do a class. (bottom right of the picture) Please be sure to check it out when you participate or visit a store~( ˘ω˘)
Note: Retweet campaign for Rebirth Nationwide Classes 600 where you attend a class and tweet something about it. One random person each week will win a gift
Memories of Kyoto. ~My most favorite ramen in the world🍜~ ~Platform 0 somehow seemed like it’d connect to another world and I got excited. it felt like Platform 9 3/4🚉~ ~The amount of free space in limited express train seats was pretty amazing💺~
Oyunestyle–! We chattered away to Mario Party. Please watch👉👉 By the way, I’m in love with these clothes and hat (it’s also my first time wearing them). Uhehe. #Oyunesu#HiBiKiStYle
Quoted Tweet (HiBiKi StYle #507 – Super Mario Party)
Starting from the top, the glasses also show my eyesight steadily growing worse loll By the way, I use the 2nd from the bottom at home I use the bottommost ones when going out I normally wear contacts( ⚯̫ )
Note: A zabuton is a cushion. This is a reference to a long-running comedy show called Shouten where contestants are given zabuton for funny/witty answers
The internet is amazing–. You could even call it an infinite sea of information. I’m observing a thousandfold, ten thousandfold of stories of life experiences, anecdotes, thoughts, and other knowledge from people who lived their lives before the age of the internet. We’re living rich lives with such a wealth of information…
If I had to put it into words “I was surfing the net at the hotel and 3 hours passed” Night~
So many band recommendations! Thanks~ There was a mix of「Right on! I like them」bands, bands I’ve been curious about but haven’t listened to, and bands whose names I was hearing for the first time so I’ll look them up and listen to them on the go( ˘ω˘)
I have that and then that yesterday. Hee~ It’s a little early, but good night~~
I’ve recently been interested in looking for new songs that strike my interest.
I! Would like if you recommended some rock artists–! By the way, I like UNISON SQUARE GARDEN 9mm Parabellum Bullet Ling Tosite Sigure Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas Kami-sama, I have noticed HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR and so on!
~Kitten, there was one when I came but there were more when I went back~ ~Decided to order konjac ice cream~ ~Wearing all the props with the representative of Gunma~
#RebirthNationwideClasses600 in Card labo Heiando Azumino Store in Touch Matsumoto Store Thank you–! It was a peaceful and lively class! Each region exudes its own personality, doesn’t it Gunma tomorrow~~
Thank you for the correction! Or rather, maybe people will remember it now~or such(lol)The guests were delighted and some people said they became huge Nishio-san fans, so we hope you’ll come visit our「Yuu-chan」again! To all the staff, please take care of yourselves for future Nationwide Classes and do your best.
This is a translation of the short lyrics and excerpts from Saechi’s blog post. You can listen to the song here!
Thanks to Forreva for pointing out the blog post and video. ^^
What’s your Identity? Composer/Lyricist: Otsuka Sae
I’ve made up my mind
The people coming and going on the scrambled intersection, if everyone was looking up there would be endless encounters and I wonder the good and the bad could be shared
Personality suppressed, only able to follow the motions if anything still remains, it must be for real I have nothing left to lose I’ve made up my mind to take things into my own hands
I’m awaiting the day when this mixed up identity will awaken once more I won’t give up I won’t give up I won’t give up
This is one part of the lyrics.
I cast away most of what I had and plunged into the unknown sea.
Prostrating yourself before things you don’t remember being ridiculed, being beaten being pressured, being deprived.
Every day enduring unbelievable realities and demands.
In stories for anime and TV you’re understood and rewarded in time, but in real life even the most unreasonable things are surprisingly overlooked.
“Why is the world so cold?”
But if you stop, there will be nothing left.
Even now, I think there are many people out there who can endure this alone.
…
『What’s your Identity?』
Identity… in short, it means what kind of person you are I borrowed this word and wrote my own thoughts.
Even in absolute darkness with no exit in sight if you don’t give up, a path is sure to open I’ve irrationally held onto this confidence for the longest time, and the lyrics strongly reflect these values of mine.
For example, even if everything seems impossible, the results will always follow. I will never give up.
Never!
“Dreams come true” Right now, I’m happy I could prove that with this song.
The sentiment of “I won’t give up” It matches the setting of EGG CAR and when its glittering radiance came to light I felt happier than anything else.
But dreams cannot come true alone, and I’m full of gratitude towards all the people who are connected with me in spirit.
When I received the news
I shouted, “I’m so glad I pushed through–!!!!”, out of character.
Then I recollected myself and clearly resolved to make sure it happened lol
I was half asleep when I woke up this morning and I threw my iPhone with all my strength, then actually yelled out “UWAAA!” good morning It didn’t break☀️
I ate vegetable gyoza for lunch then went to my office at just the right time to meet Kitta-san, so I got it right(?) I should have asked to take a photo with her…!
Note: Kitta Izumi, lover of dumplings and Oyu’s senpai in HiBiKi, is currently studying English abroad but she briefly returned to Japan for the Utsunomiya Gyoza Festival.
I went to Gekirock DJ Party–! Merm4id and DJ CHU²-shi were both super hype and the excitement was incredible!! It was also a blast to bask in an explosion of my beloved J-Rock–! DJing is great because it’s both fun to play and to listen to. #D4DJ#Bandori#Gekirock
I went incognito(˘ω˘ ≡ ˘ω˘) Sorry for not greeting you…! Merm4id transformed into perfect floor killers and Aipon was a total bombshell, too amazing!!🙏
Note: Floor Killer is one of Merm4id’s songs, Aipon is Negishi Ai’s nickname
【A message from #NishioYuka-san has arrived📣】 Held 2020/01/31 (Fri) at TOKYO DOME CITY HALL‼️ ✨D4DJ D4 FES. -Departure-✨

Note: The proverb is usually “弘法筆を選ばず”, which means a good workman does not need to choose their tools. There is a (much less common) spin on this proverb which states the exact opposite, and this is what Oyu used
Note: Oyu is ranked 3-dan in calligraphy. From lowest to highest, the levels go from 10-kyuu to 1-kyuu, then 1-dan to 8-dan. The “dan” ranks are considered advanced.
HiBiKi Channel has been updated–! I did calligraphy even though it’s radio (sound only)!? How were these 4 episodes hosted by Nishio! After it ended, I kept thinking “Ahhh, I should have talked about this too–!” so I hope I can do radio again– #JFNPARK#HiBiKiChannel
Thank you for coming to #WGP2019 Osaka–! It was a really fun, card-filled day!! With Haruchan who was also guest for Rebirth, Ikuta-san and Nomoto-san who were guests for Weiß [Schwarz]~
I got this candy from Amerikamura. For some reason I had a strange urge to take this purikura. Good night~
Note: purikura = photo booth “Give me carrots.” 19 Nishio Impact Kikuka-shō She’s parodying the champion race horse Deep Impact who won the Kikuka-shō in 2005.
#RebirthNationwideClasses600 in Preyz Sannomiya Store! Thank you–!! First store visit outside the Kanto region! I’m gonna spread Rebirth further and further––! and with that, I’ll be in Osaka tomorrow~
A picture of Oyunesu’s Nesu and Oyunesu’s Oyu-san whose bangs are PK Fired🔥(※hidden due to various circumstances) before the #Lililili announcement lol When I sent it to Oyu-chan, she replied saying, “I made bangs!” loll #Oyunesu
Tomorrow is the Getsubushi watashikai–! with Chinharu! at the GAMERS Shinjuku Store! What clothes should I wear~I agonized over this for about an hour. I hope you see youuuu! #Getsubushi#HapiAra
Dig Delight!’s ＼＼Hey DJ–!! ／／ was surprisingly audible and how did everyone know how to sing the rap part… “ehh…I love this…” as I found myself climbing onto the stand to stir up the crowd…
D4DJ 2nd LIVE is finally tomorrow!! Live viewings have same day tickets on sale, so be sure to find a live viewing location near you~! We’re gonna deliver happy to you––!
oO(There were lots of retorts so… Oyu-san has: Den-O Belt Ixa Belt Diendriver Fang Memory(transforming one)(my favorite) OOO Medal And a bit more than that. I started watching from Kuuga. My dream in high school was to become a Kamen Rider. For real.
We had dress rehearsal for 2nd LIVE~ It’s in three days!… two days after tomorrow!? wow Those coming the venue and live viewings, are all you ready to have fun!!?
We went out for food afterwards! Next time we’ll bring Non-chan too and it seems like Kagamin can’t drink alcohol so it’d be nice to go that sort of store–! or such! #HapiAra#D4DJ
#RebirthNationwideClasses for November have been published–! (I’ll be at) Osaka Yamanashi Gunma Nara Nagano Hokkaido Hyogo Kyoto Mie Aichi!! Hya–––I’m excited! I’ll be waiting for you with all my heart! #Rebirth
I dreamed about getting a check for 1000 trillion yen, above 8 figures. I was super flustered. I want 5000 trillion yen! not happening. lol What did I buy…a country…?
Note: A team name suggestion during the Rebirth stream was “yakitori goes with salt” since Rimi’s char is a yakitori shop girl. Rimirin → sauce! Oyu, Amanesu → salt!
(“The BGM in this store is an anisong piano arrangement medley~how fancy~”, I thought, as I looked thoroughly puzzled over whether it was shangri-la or Battle Frontier playing)
Live footage for “Direct Drive!”, the 2nd original song by Happy Around!, has been released!✨ I am really looking forward to doing the call & response with all of you again at 2nd LIVE😆 Please be sure to check it out!! #HapiAra #D4DJ
Live footage for “Dig Delight!” by Happy Around! has been released!✨ It was my first time singing and dancing in front of people and I was really nervous, but everyone was so warm and got excited along with us—it was tons of fun!!😆 I would be delighted if you watched!😊⭐️
Today’s meal was hamburg steak!🍽😋 My most favorite food is hamburg steak, followed by omurice!! If I could just order kids’ meals then I could eat both at once…is what I am always thinking😭
The #HapiAra mini voice drama has been posted on YouTube!! The illustrations for all 4 are super cute too🤤 Please be sure to give it a listen~!!🌟 #D4DJ
I ate monja with my friend today–!! I tried making the monja for the first time but I was so bad at it that my friend did 90% of the work…😵 The carbonara monja was the tastiest🤤✨
Note: monja = monjayaki, a savory Japanese “pancake”
I couldn’t see it live so I watched the archive🥳The 4 characters’ voices at the very start, no way…!!! The mini chars were so cute too😳💕Everyone in HapiAra is adorable and Kagamin was a complete angel throughout—this stream healed my heart. I’m excited for the future of D4DJ—be sure to watch the archive if you haven’t seen it yet🥳 #D4DJ
Thank you for watching~!! It was really fun having the 4 of us together for the first time!😆 I hope you will continue to support HappyAround! from now on!✨ #HapiAra
