おはようございます!
Good morning!

今日は、とっても早起き^o^
Today I woke up super early ^o^

早起き過ぎて、ちょっと頭が痛いです、、、(´・_・`)
I woke up so early that my head kind of hurts...(´・_・`)

でも!そんなこと吹き飛ばすくらい、楽しい一日にしたいと思います!
But! I'm just going to ignore it and try to have an enjoyable day!

皆さんも、楽しい一日になりますように!
Everyone, I also hope you have a fun day today!

こんばんは!
Good evening!

福岡に帰ってから、太宰府天満宮に行ってきました!
After returning to Fukuoka, we went to the Dazaifu Tenman-gu shrine!

これで、二社目のお参りが終わりました!
This was the second visit to a shrine!

一社目は、昨日初日の出をみに行く時にお家の近くの神社にお参りに!
The first visit was to the local Shinto shrine during the first sunrise!

最後の三社目は、去年同様少し遠出してお参りに行きたいと思います!
For a third visit, I want to go to the shrine we went to last year that's a bit far!

太宰府天満宮では、絵馬にお願い事を書きました!
At the Dazaifu Tenman-gu shrine, I wrote my wish on the wooden tags!
(TL Note: Besides visiting shrines, which is a Japanese New Year's tradition as you can probably tell, another tradition is write your wish on a wooden tag and then hang it at the shrine. Google "絵馬" for examples)

「沢山の人に笑顔や元気、幸せを届けられますように」
"I pray for many people to smile and be healthy, and for their happiness"

お願い事が叶えられるように、今年も頑張りたいと思います!
To grant that wish, I'll also try hard this year!

みなさんは、もうお参り行きましたか?
Everyone, did you also already go to visit a shrine!

さくら咲け!
Sakura bloom!

こんばんは!
Good evening!

今日は、THEお正月の一日になりました!
Today was THE New Year's Day!

まず、早起きをしてお墓参りに行ってきました!
First, I woke up early and went to pay my respects to my ancestors!

宮脇家のお墓をキレイにピカピカ磨いて、「桜の木」をお供えしてきました!
中で眠っているひぃおじいちゃんひぃおばあちゃんが、桜の木をみて「あ!咲良が来たね!」って気付いてくれるといいな!
After polishing the Miyawaki family grave until it was nice and sparkly, I offered "tree of sakura!" I thought that if I placed "tree of sakura" there, my great-grandfather and great-grandmother who are sleeping inside the tomb would notice "Ah! Sakura came!"
(TL Note: I don't even pretend to be familiar with Japanese tomb traditions, but I expect it's somewhat similar to the US tradition of bringing flowers to a grave when visiting it. She probably brought incense sticks made from the wood of a sakura tree in this case?)


そして、おばあちゃん家でコタツに入りながら、お餅とみかんを食べる、、、
Afterwards, while nestled comfortably inside the kotatsu at my grandma's house, we all ate mochi together...
(TL Note: A kotatsu is a popular piece of furniture in Japanese homes. It's basically a small table, but heated underneath. It's quite comfortable to stick your legs under it when it's cold.)

まさに、お正月ですね^o^
Naturally, since it was New Year's Day ^o^

おばあちゃん家の庭で、親戚たちと鬼ごっこしたり、お年玉を頂いたり、、、
In the garden, I played a game of tag with my relatives and we received New Year's gifts...

お母さん同士が、お年玉を巡って「もー!いいのよー」って言い合ってるのも、お正月っぽくて好きです笑
Mom and the rest of them kept trying to return the New Year's gifts, saying "No, it's already enough, it's fine," it really is like New Year's. I like it like that lol
(TL Note: Money is usually given by the adults to their children or the children of relatives during New Year's. Trying to return it is simply a polite thing to do, even if they pretty much always keep it in the end.)

その後は、おばあちゃん家にお別れをして、福岡に帰ってきました!
After that, we left my grandma's house and returned to Fukuoka!

親戚たち皆、鹿児島のツアーに来てくれるらしいので、とても嬉しいです♪
It seems like all my relatives will be coming to see me when we tour Kagoshima, so I'm really happy♪

お正月って、人の暖かさを感じられる素敵な日ですね^o^
On New Year's Day, you can really feel the warmth of people. It's a lovely day, isn't it? ^o^

みなさんは、どんなお正月を過ごしましたか?
Everyone, how did you pass New Year's Day?

さくら咲け!
Sakura bloom!

おはようございます!
Good morning!

お正月だからこそ、早起きしました^o^
It's the new year, so I woke up early ^o^

早起きすると、一日が少し多めに楽しめそうな気がします、、、(°_°)
I feel that by waking up early, I can enjoy more of the day, even if just a little bit...(°_°)

今日は、地元の鹿児島でおばあちゃん家でゆっくりしつつ、ツアーの練習などしたいと思います!
Today, while at my grandma's house in my hometown in Kagoshima, I want  to practice for the tour or something like that!


あ!そういえば、初夢はみませんでした泣
Ah! Which reminds me, I didn't have a new year's dream *cry*

みたような気がするんですが、朝起きたら忘れちゃってました^o^笑
I feel like I might have had one, but because I woke up so early I forgot it ^o^ lol

きっと、いい夢だったような気がします☻
Surely, I feel like it was a good dream ☻

皆さんは、どんな初夢をみましたか?
Everyone, what kind of new year's dream did you have?

さくら咲け!

こんばんは!
Good evening!

今年初めて知ったのですが、今日みる夢を初夢というみたいですよー^o^
This year is the first time I've realized this, but the dream I'll have today is called the "year's first dream" ^o^

皆さん、明日どんな夢をみたか教えてくださいね!
私も、教えます!
Everyone, tomorrow please tell me what dream you see tonight!
I'll also let you all know what dream I have!

いい夢みれますように!
I hope I have a good dream!

あけましておめでとうございます!
Happy New Year!

去年は、皆さんのおかげで充実した一年になりました。
Thanks to everyone, last year was complete, fulfilling year.

リクエストアワーセットリストで、HKT48が38位にランクインいただいたり、総選挙で26位にランクインさせていただいたり、皆さんに支えられてきました。
During Request Hour Setlist, HKT48 ranked in 38th place and I ranked in 26th during the sousenkyo because of everyone's support.

でも、私はその分皆さんに恩返しをちゃんと出来て来れてかな、、、
But, I wonder if I was able to properly return the favor...

少し心残りがあるので、今年は皆さんに恩返しが出来る年、そしてもっともっと成長出来る年にしたいと思います!
I still have a little bit of regret, so I want to make this year into one in which I can repay everyone as well as one in which I can grow even more!

今から元旦公演!
新しいスタートをきれるように頑張ります!
From now on will be the New Year's Day performance!
To break into a new start, I'll give it my all!

写真は、お家で迎えた初日の出!
The photo is of the New Year's sunrise which I went out to see from my home!
