Hello!


Today
At Saitama Super Arena
We will perform in Viva la Pop!

Because I'll also be doing
A collaboration with Oomori Seiko
My heart is pounding with nervousness and anticipation. 

What an honour, what an opportunity!
Truly, thank you very much 

Please be absolutely sure to come by!





And on Friday
Was a national handshake event!

To everyone who made their way there
Despite being busy, thank you very much!

It was a joy to meet you all.
You were so warm and kind.

Have a good rest, eh 

And now, amazingly,
"Historic sites associated with hidden Christians in Nagasaki and Amakusa"
Have been recommended as world heritage sites!!

I am so, so happy
To see the list of Nagasaki world heritage sites added to once again.

And there are world heritage sites in the Goto Islands, too!!!




Among the cultural assets
I have visited Narushima and Nozakijima
And we have been to the settlement at Kashiragajima on Kamigotou.

As many people probably know,
Oouratenshudou and other places in Nagasaki are to become world heritage sites, as well.



Fugyogyo....



Anyway, it's a beautiful church
In the mystical atmosphere of the remains of the settlement...
Seeing it in person, of course, gives a quite different feeling!

I hope you'll definitely make the trip 


I still have a lot to learn.
Once again, I will take this opportunity
To learn about the history.

There are lots of other historic sites in Nagasaki.
I want to go and study them up close.




Thank you very much for reading.

Negitoro (the title of the post) is a tuna and spring onion sushi roll.

Not a bad shot of Akanen. Not a very good shot of Neru, lol.

I can't find what "fugyogyo" means, so I've left it in Japanese. Maybe it's an expression of baffled delight.

The historic sites Neru mentions are connected with Christian communities in the area a few centuries ago, which had to be hidden since Christianity was forbidden at the time.

Neru can ask people to come by on the day to the Viva la Pop festival because the tickets were not sold out. They dropped the price a bit a couple of days ago. Great line-up (K46, BiSH, Suzuki Airi, Maison Book Girl, Band ja Nai Mon, Up-Up Girls, etc.), but maybe people didn't want to shell out Y8500. And Saitama Super Arena is big (holds 37,000). And Keyaki was missing four members: Aoi, Mona, Techi, and as of Saturday, Zumiko as well (she says she's okay).

Sorry this post is a day late. I try to translate these as soon as possible, but I couldn't get to it.
