So, to give me some proper practice at reading Japanese, I’m going to continue trying to translate Aya’s posts as best I can. For those of you who read Amy’s write up on International Wota regarding my previous post, she doesn’t have the greatest faith in my translation (and really, I don’t either! XD) but oh well… Sorta getting the gist of it is better than just seeing a bunch of lines on your computer screen, right?

So… Here are Aya’s 2 latest entries! As with my last post, anything in italics (and now square brackets) are my notes/questions/concerns/and wtfs. ^_^

August 27th Entry: RH☆

Hi☆

Fufufufu [I'm gonna take that as someone going "Lalalalalala" in English. XD]
2 straight days with updates!

Starting today until the LIVE starts on September 5th, the band members are seriously RH (rehearsing) the songs.

On the bottom from the right is Kiku-chan on guitar, Kajiyan on bass and Ide-san on keyboard.
In the middle from the right is Takao-san on drums and Fuku-chan on percussion. On top is Chino-chan, the chorus [I assume this means back up singer].

And I’m singing enthusiastically.


Until tomorrow, we will do our best in RH★

I’m assuming that RH means rehearsal/rehearsing.

August 28th Entry: 今日もRH☆ (Today’s Rehearsal☆)

First, to everyone who has commented on AYAblog!

I’m not usually good with writing mails. I have trouble writing out my thoughts. But everyone replies very quickly. It’s amazing☆

Today’s, RH (rehearsal) [LOL. She spelled it out this time. I assumed correctly! YAY!] was dancing & choreography with choreographer YOSHIKO-sensei and dancer Miho-chan!! After this tour, YOSHIKO-sensei will be a happy 40 year old ♪♪ and [something about Aya being on stage for about 5 years, but choreography and staging were not done? o_O].

“To commemorate the end of your 30’s, do you want to dance?”

っと口説き落としました（笑） [No idea what the heck this says... o_O]
We tried to persuade her. [suggested translation by Murr... Though why would they have to try and persuade a choreographer to dance? o_O]

Wow! 39 years old!!

Today, we were talking seriously!


A wonderful human chair★

And, seriously…


Thousand-armed Kannon [Buddhist deity of mercy]… Wind (lol)

Tomorrow, we will continue to do our best in RH★
