    Your impression is the same as "Maria and Princess the Green" producer when he looked up information about Karen for main role. :lol:

    She never left jbiz (if by jbiz you mean japanese showbiz), she joined talent agency HoriPro, which is a big agency. She announced it in the end of her graduation performance. Back then when she announced graduation, she said that she wanted to focus on to be actress and doing stage play.

    In other words, she's active in showbiz right now. :)

    今日はこの子とご飯行ってきたよ〜☆
    I went to dinner with this kid today~☆

    My same-gen during my AKB era, Muto Tomu-chan!!!

    レイクのCM(パーリーピーポーの人)や、今や選抜メンバーとして大活躍中の、自慢の同期っす(*´ェ`*)
    久しぶりに会っていろんな話できて楽しかったなー!
    Lake commercial (the Party People person), now active as a senbatsu member, she’s the pride of our same-gen (*´ェ`*)

    場所はもちろん、安定のIWA。笑
    The place is of course, the stable IWA. (LOL)

    マヂヤミ彼女
    Majiyami Kanojo


    今日はお買い物して美容室行ってブラブラしてました〜
    Today I went shopping and going to beauty salon and hanging around~

    ブラブラしてたら松尾さんとひらりーに会うとゆう偶然ねw
    When hanging around I unexpectedly met Matsuo-san and Hirari (laughs)

    なんか元気でたなー。笑
    Somehow lively. (LOL)

    時間があるとゲームやっちゃうよね。うん。
    I’ll play game when I got time. Yup.

    最近スマホゲームに結構ハマっている私。
    Lately I’ve been addicted to smartphone game.

    「イケメン戦国」から始まり…笑
    モンストはずっとやってます。
    あと最近やって面白かったのは、
    「マヂヤミ彼女」ってやつ!
    Starting from 「Ikemen Sengoku」… (LOL)
    I always play Monster Strike.
    And then the interesting one that I played lately,
    「Majiyami Kanojo」!

    友達に勧められてやってみたんだけど、元となっている曲もめっちゃカッコよくて、謎解きゲーム好きな私はかなり楽しめた!
    I tried it because of my friend’s recommendation, the original-sounding songs are really cool, as I love mystery-solving game, I’m quite enjoying it!

    [​IMG]
    と言っても結構前にに配信されたゲームらしいので、もう知ってる人は知ってるのかしら?笑
    To say that the game seems to have been distributed for quite some time, I wonder if people who know the game actually know about this? (LOL)

    男の人は「女怖っ!!!」って思うかもしれないけど、女の人はスカッとするかもね!!ww
    Men probably think 「Women are scary!!!」, but women will probably feel refreshed!! (LOL) *

    (* note: about playing the game)

    男性はこのゲームをプレイして、自分の大切な人がこうならないようにすべし。←
    To men who played this game, you should not let your precious one turned to be like this. *

    (* note: probably referring to something in the game)


    内容量けっこうあるのにゲーム自体そんなに長くないから、割とサクッとできて暇つぶしにもなるので、興味ある方は是非(*^_^*)
    The game itself has an amount of capacity but it’s not that long, to spend some battery percentage and kills time, please check it out for those who are interested (*^_^*)

    わーーー。なんか脱出ゲーム熱が再発しそうだから、PCの脱出フリーゲームとか久々に漁ってみようかな。w
    Waaaa. Somehow the escape game fever has returned, perhaps I’ll play the free PC escape game the day after tomorrow after a long time. (laughs)


    あ、学校のレポートや、次の舞台のお稽古とかもちゃんとしてるからご心配なく!!w
    Ah, I will do school report and practice for next stage play properly, so don’t worry!! (laughs)

    It was 2 hours where Hirose Suzu-san is very cute……
    I can’t believe that Hirose-san, Ishii Anna-chan, Nakagawa Taishi-san, are the same age as me, their performance are great, they are also attractive……(vocabulary)

    私もがんばろううううううううてなりましたとさ。あへ。

    お稽古!
    Practice!


    今日は、今月の25日に大千穐楽を迎えます、私の初主演舞台『マリアと緑のプリンセス』のお稽古でした〜!
    Today was the practice of my first lead role stage play 『Maria and Princess The Green』, which has its closing day on 25th this month!

    今日は朝からちょっとブルーだったんだけど、久しぶりにみんなと会って、歌って踊ったら少しだけ元気出た
    I was feeling a little blue in the morning today, but I met with everyone for the first time in a long time, by singing and dancing I got a little better

    25日、私がマリアとして生きれる最後の日。ぜひ見届けに来てください
    25th, the last day that I live as Maria. Please come and see

    [​IMG]
    稽古場の屋上で踊ったときの
    When I was dancing on the rooftop of the practice hall



    さっきもちょっと書いたけど、私が今日ブルーな理由は、
    I wrote this earlier, but the reason why I was feeling blue was,


    最近、仙台にいる愛犬ビリーの体調があまり良くないのです。
    今朝、容態が急変して、でもよりによってそんな時に家族が3人とも東京にいて、
    Recently, my pet dog Billy, who lived in Sendai, is not feeling well.
    This morning, his condition changed suddenly, but of all days this time 3 of all my family member is in Tokyo,

    今は仙台の病院にひとりぼっちなの。
    Now I’m alone in Sendai Hospital.


    今夜の緊急手術がうまくいけばいいんだけど、もうビリーも犬年齢にして72歳。最悪の状況も、覚悟しなければなりません。
    I hope he will got better after tonight’s surgery, but Billy is already 72 years old in dog age. I need to prepare for the worst.




    その時はみんな、慰めてね。
    At that time, everyone, please comfort me.


    今夜はただただ祈ります。
    Today I’ll do nothing but pray.



    大好きなビリーに、また会えますように。
    To meet the Billy that I loved, again.

    [​IMG]

    - This Sunday on 25 September she'll have her final 2 performances for Maria. Wish her (and the cast & staff) good luck!

    - During the Sakura twitter "incident", Karen thought that Sakura's twitter has been hacked/hijacked and told the hacker to stop because she's not in a good mood (refer to lineblog 2016/09/17). Despite her dorkiness, Karen is actually a serious person (and that seriousness kinda 'inherited' to Okada Nana :^^;: )

    - She watched stage play ReLIFE (starring Takayanagi Akane) this week but cannot watch the one where Takayanagi performed. She met Kawaei Rina there. :lol:

    - As usual, her days are filled with practice and practice. Wishing her best luck!

    ReLIFE

    こんばんわっ
    Good evening


    今日は学校の後(日曜なのに)、舞台『ReLIFE』観てきましたー!
    Today after school (even though it’s Sunday), I went to watch stage play『ReLIFE』!

    [​IMG]
    『ダンガンロンパ THE STAGE 2016』でご一緒させて頂いた、杉江大志さんと中村優一さんがご出演されていたので(*^^*)
    Sugie Hiroshi-san and Nakamura Yuichi-san who appeared together with me in『DANGANRONPA THE STAGE 2016』, are the casts (*^^*)


    個人的には大好きな黒子のバスケで黒子役の声優や、あのハリーポッターシリーズのハリーポッター役の声を担当している小野賢章さんのお芝居を生で観られたことがとてもとても嬉しかったり…!!
    ちゅりさんがご出演されている公演も観たかったのですが、予定が合わず断念でした……
    Personally, to watch the live performance of Ono Kensho-san who was the voice actor of Kuro from Kuroko no Basket that I loved and the voice actor of Harry Potter from the series, I’m really really happy…!!
    I also wanted to watch the live performance where Churi-san’s appeared, but the schedule doesn’t match……


    正直、ストーリーをまったく知らない状態で観たのですが、めちゃくちゃ面白かったし泣けました!!
    最後なんか特にグッとくるし、切なくて、甘酸っぱくて、色々考えさせられることもあって…
    Honestly, even though I didn’t know the story while watching it, but it was really interesting that I cried!!
    The last part is somehow touching, painful, sweet-and-sour, and also made you think of various things…

    なんか心が洗われた気分。゚(゚^∀^゚)゚。
    My heart feels like it was cleansed somehow 。゚(゚^∀^゚)゚。

    私もリライフしたい←現役高校生
    I also want to do ReLIFE ← active high school student


    学校終わりで行ったから制服着てたんだけど、今回の舞台の衣装と色合いが似ちゃって、コスプレしてきた奴みたいになっててちょっと恥ずかしかったです!!ww
    After the school finished, I came here with my school uniform , but this time the stage play’s costume are similar, I was embarrassed because I looked like a cosplayer!! (laughs)

    久しぶりに先輩にも会えて、幸せでしたー(*^^*)
    I also met my seniors, I’m so happy (*^^*)

    私もがんばろっ!
    I will also work hard!

    いつまでも変わらない
    It will never change


    こんにちわ(*^^*)
    Good afternoon (*^^*)

    凄い雨ですね……
    こんな雨の日はお家に籠りたいところですが、、今日はちょっとお出かけ
    It’s raining heavily……
    On this rainy day I would like to stay in the house,, but today I went out a little


    もうすぐ一周忌を迎える、川島なお美さんのお墓参りに行ってきました。
    We went to the grave of Kawashima Naomi-san, who will have her first death anniversary


    この3人で(*^^*)
    These 3 (*^^*)

    [​IMG]
    どちらもミュージカル『フットルース』でお世話になった、植木豪さんと今泉りえさん♪
    Both of them have taken care of me during musical 『Footloose』, Ueki Go-san and Imaizumi Rie-san ♪

    植木さんにお会いするのは約2年ぶりでしたが、相変わらずお茶目でテキトーで……笑←失礼w
    何も変わらない、私が大好きな植木さんでした
    It’s been around 2 years since I met Ueki-san, but his playfulness is random as usual……(LOL) ← pardon me (laughs)
    Nothing’s changed, the Ueki-san that I loved


    フットルースの時と変わらず、3人でワイワイお喋りして、
    Just like back in Footloose, the 3 of us were chatting noisily,

    今にも空から、「3人ともうるさい!!」とゆう、なお美さんの声が聞こえてきそうでした。
    Even now from the sky, I can seemed to hear Naomi-san’s voice「You 3 are noisy!!」.

    [​IMG]
    なお美さんから17歳の誕生日に頂いた、お気に入りのバック。ずっと私の宝物です。
    Present from Naomi-san for my 17th birthday, my favourite bag. It is always be my treasure.

    それを今日はさげて、なお美さんに会いに行きました。
    I wore it today, and went to meet Naomi-san.

    「カレンにはまだ少し大人っぽいかしら。」と頂いたこのバック。
    「I wonder if Karen will look a little bit mature. 」and I received this bag.

    なお美さん、少しは私、このバックが似合うような女性になれてますか?
    Naomi-san, can I be a little bit of a woman who is suitable with this bag?


    また絶対会いにきますね。
    なので変わらず、どうか私たちを見守っていてください。
    I will definitely come to see you again.
    Nothing’s changed, please watch over us.

    心がジーンとなって小籠包が熱かった話。
    Talking about how my mind suddenly went blank because the xiaolongbao was hot.


    こんばんわー!
    Good evening!

    今日はゲネプロ前に、お世話になったスイセイミュージカルさんの「楽園」を観てきました♪
    Today before the general probe, I went to watch「Rakuen」* from Suisei Musical, who has taken care of me ♪

    (*note: Rakuen = Paradise)
    久しぶりにお会いする方が多すぎて、何だか実家に帰ってきた気分になり、涙腺が緩まないよう必死でした(´ ; ω ; `)笑
    There are so many person that I haven’t met after a while, it’s somehow felt like I’ve returned home, my tear gland desperately became loose (´ ; ω ; `) (LOL) *

    (*note: to put it simply, she’s just shed a lot of tears, LOL)

    [​IMG]
    相変わらず暖かかったなー。本当に私のホームです。
    色んなことを、ここスイセイミュージカルで学びました。
    It’s still warm as usual. It is really my home.
    I have learned many things from here, Suisei Musical.

    そして数多くの名作を生み出しているスイセイミュージカル作品の中でも特に素晴らしいといわれていた「楽園」。いつか観たいと思っていたのでめっちゃ楽しみにしていた!!!
    And then in the middle of the many masterpiece that Suisei Musical has produced, 「Rakuen」was said to be particularly wonderful. Because I thought I wanted to watch it someday, I really had fun!!!

    のですが……
    However……


    最後まで観てしまうとマリプリのゲネプロに間に合わないと言うことが発覚したため、1幕で退場(´ ; ω ; `)(´ ; ω ; `)(´ ; ω ; `)
    I wanted to watch it till the end, but because I could not make it in time for MariPuri’s general probe, so for the sake of revelation*, I left in the first act (´ ; ω ; `)(´ ; ω ; `)(´ ; ω ; `)

    (*note: not sure how to translate, but basically it’s for the sake of showing herself in MariPuri practice)

    最後まで観たかったあ(´ ; ω ; `)
    I wanted to watch it till the end (´ ; ω ; `)

    話の結末めっちゃ気になるぅ(´ ; ω ; `)w
    I’m really curious about the conclusion of the story (´ ; ω ; `) (laughs)


    1幕だけでもかなり涙腺が崩壊しそうでした……本当によかった。
    また皆さんとお芝居したいなぁ。
    がんばります。
    Even in just the first act, my tear gland was breaking down… it was really good.
    I want to do a play again with everyone.
    I will do my best.

    そしてその足でマリプリゲネへ。
    And then I went to MariPuri’s general probe.

    ダンガンロンパ以来の中華街です^ ^

    明日はいよいよ千穐楽!
    Tomorrow is finally the final performance!

    マリアが緑でプリンセスだった話
    Talking about Maria is the princess in green


    『マリアと緑のプリンセス』大千穐楽、無事に幕を閉じました。
    『Maria and Princess the Green』’s final performance, has closed the curtain successfully.


    長かったようで短くて、でもやっぱり長かった3ヶ月だった。笑
    濃ゆい3ヶ月でした。
    It was long yet it was short, but it was a long 3 months after all. (LOL)
    It was a deep 3 months.

    初主演がこの作品で、ほんとに良かったと思います。
    First main role in this work, I think that was really good.

    私はちゃんとマリアとして生きれていたでしょうか?
    I wonder if I was able to play as Maria properly?

    たくさん悩んでたくさん迷いましたが、
    I worried and hesitated a lot, but

    今日の皆様からの温かい、割れんばかりの拍手が、私がこの3ヶ月やってきたことを肯定してくれているようで、
    Today, the warm, roaring applause from everyone, has affirmed what I did in these 3 months,

    思わず胸が熱くなりました。
    It warmed me spontaneously.


    今回、主演と言うことで、一応「座長」と言う立場だったんでしょうけど、
    This time, because I’m the main role, I tentatively took the position of 「Chairman」, but

    正直、私がみんなに引っ張ってもらってました。
    Honestly, I was asked to lead everyone.

    私がみんなに助けられてた。
    I was helped by everyone.

    みんなが頑張っている姿を見て、私ももっともっと頑張らなきゃって思えました。
    Looking at the sight of everyone who worked hard, I thought I would also work harder and harder.

    私がみんなを引っ張らなきゃいけない立場だったのに、私の方が、色んなことを教えられ、気づかされました。
    Though I was in a position that must lead everyone, I myself, realised that I was taught various things.


    感謝のみです。
    Just grateful.

    無事、千穐楽を終えることができて、本当によかった。
    To be able to finish the final performance safely, it’s really good.

    ありがとうマリア
    Thank you Maria

    [​IMG]

    お花ありがとう
    Thank you for the flower

    このご縁と出逢いを大切に、また明日から歩いていこうと思います。
    I’ll treasure this fateful meeting, from tomorrow on let’s walk together.*


    (*note: Yaayyyyy @KarenFanCommu!!)


    明日はさっそく次の舞台「SAKURA」の稽古です!
    ダンガンロンパから休むこと無く作品の稽古に本番に……
    Tomorrow is immediately practice for the next stage play 「SAKURA」!
    No rest since Danganronpa, to practice for the work, to the actual performance……

    幸せ以外の何物でもない
    Nothing but happiness


    私をAKB時代から応援してくれてるみんな。
    Everyone who cheers for me since my AKB era.

    今わたし、幸せだよ。

    - Maria had its final performance on 25th September. Cheers for Karen, the casts, and staffs who were involved in the production! :1st:

    - No rest for Karen, she immediately starts practicing for SAKURA stage play. Just hoping she doesn't force herself too much. :^^;:

    - Karen recently made a Line Live Account. Possible live stream later on? Link here: https://live.line.me/r/channels/34925

    - I think there are still several works of Karen that haven't been disclosed? Looking forward to them. :banana:

    夕焼けが美しすぎてトラウマになった話
    Talking about how beautiful the sunset is that it becomes a trauma


    こんばんわ!
    Good evening!


    本日も撮影。
    いい夕焼けが撮れましたよーー
    There was shooting today.
    I have taken a good photo of the sunsetーー

    [​IMG]
    やはり自然の力とは凄いもので。
    The force of nature is amazing after all.

    どんなことをしようとも、自然には逆らえないのです。天候もそう。時に私たちを困らせるけど、時に息を呑むような素晴らしい景色見せてくれる。
    Whatever we do, we cannot go against nature. So does the weather. Sometimes it troubles us, but sometimes it can show us a breathtaking beautiful scenery.

    虫もそう。虫には何の悪気も無いのです。
    例えばバッタ。バッタは飛ぶのが仕事。急に飛び出す&飛距離が凄い。バッタに驚かせる気なんてさらさら無いのに、人間には驚かれてしまったりする時もあって。
    So do insects. We cannot do something bad to them.
    For example, grasshoppers. Their job is to jump. Suddenly jump and the jump distance is amazing. Although grasshoppers have no intention to be surprised, there are also times when humans are surprised.

    田んぼの中をゆっくりと歩くシーンで、バッタ(大群)がいきなり私目掛けて飛んできて、岩田氏号泣。←
    During the scene when I walked slowly in the rice field, (a horde of) grasshoppers suddenly jumped to me, Ms. Iwata cried. ←

    もともと虫はそこまで得意ではないのですが、虫でも何でも、いきなり目の前から飛びかかられたら、そこそこのトラウマになります。笑
    In the beginning, I’m not that good with insects, be it insects or anything else, if it suddenly jumps in front of me, it became a trauma. (LOL)


    その後なんとか立て直し、そのシーンの撮影は無事終了しましたが、ロケバスから撮影場所のあぜ道を怖くて引き返せず、
    Later, when I somehow recovered, the shooting of the scene ended safely, but because I’m too scared, I cannot go back from the bus to the footpath of the shooting location,

    結果、こうなりました。
    As a result, this happened.

    [​IMG]

    美濃さん(マネージャー)ごめん
    Mino-san (Manager), I’m sorry

    バッタが怖くて担当マネージャーにおんぶしてもらうとは思わなかった…←歩け
    The chief of I’m Afraid of Grasshopper, Manager, has given me a piggyback ride, which I didn’t think about…←walk

    本当に優しいマネージャーですわ。笑
    さすがに申し訳なくて2/3は自分の足で歩いたけどww
    A really good manager. (LOL)
    I felt really sorry, so I walked on my own for about 2/3 though (laughs)

    バッタさんも驚いてごめんね
    さっほーの元で修行してきます…←
    I’m also sorry for surprising the grasshoppers
    I will go training to Sahho* …←

    (*note: Iwatate Saho is known to loved fried grasshopper and many bizarre cuisine :v )

    明日も頑張ります( ˘ω˘ )
    Tomorrow I will also work hard ( ˘ω˘ )

    - Karen had a live broadcast on Line Live for approximately 30 minutes on 27th September, you can watch it again here: https://live.line.me/r/channels/34925

    - The practice for both SAKURA and Hai-Voca has started! Hope that Karen will pull an awesome performance!

    - She met Kawaei Rina again and this time was able to take picture together. Source here and here.

    - She had a shooting in Miyagi (I guess) according to the latest translation. Not sure what show it is, but I guess it's related to Tohoku news, perhaps for Fukkou Calendar?

    - So far so good for Karen, she's improving from time to time for both her skills and her work. Who knows if suddenly she got a role in a drama / movie later on. :banana:

    Somehow I'm glad that there are people who still follow Karen's activities. :lol:

    Because it seems that nobody is translating the post or following her activities, at least the foreign fans. I'm translating because I'm curious of what she wrote, that's all. It became some sort of hobby. Iwata Family (Japanese Karen fanbase) is really eager in every activities, I even got sources from there. :^^;:

    And most AKB fans just stopped following members when they graduated. Thankfully I discover Karen (via Hana wa Saku) first before following AKB. :^^;:

    唐揚げ弁当がアツアツな話
    Talking about how hot is the karaage bento


    こんばんわ^ ^
    Good evening ^ ^


    おじいちゃんとおばあちゃんに、1年ぶりに会えました。
    I met my grandpa and grandma for the first time in 1 year.

    栗原の大好きなおじいちゃんとおばあちゃん。今は2人とも、老人ホームに居ます。
    おじいちゃんはアルツハイマーと診断され、ついさっきした会話もすぐに忘れてしまいます。
    The grandpa and grandma from Kurihara whom I really loved. Both of them now stay in nursing home.
    Grandpa was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he immediately forgot the conversation that we had earlier.

    会いたいけど、私のこと覚えてくれてるかな?
    少し不安でした。
    I met him, but did he remember me?
    I was a little bit anxious.

    でも私が会いに行くと、おじいちゃんもおばあちゃんも涙ぐみながら、「よく来たこと」って。
    私が小さい頃からずっとずっと変わらない、お迎えの言葉。
    夏休みやお盆に栗原のおじいちゃんおばあちゃん家に帰ると、2人揃っていつも「よぐ来たこと〜」って、迎えてくれました。
    私のこともちゃんと「かれん」って言ってくれました。よかった。。
    But when I went to see them, both grandpa and grandma’s tears were flowing, they said 「You came」.
    The one thing that didn’t change since I was little, the welcoming words.
    During summer holiday and Obon Festival, we went back to grandpa and grandma’s house, both of them always said 「You came~」, they welcomed us.
    They also called me「Karen」 properly. That’s great..


    ホームのスタッフの方にこっそり案内してもらった、おじいちゃんの部屋です。
    The staff of the nursing home secretly guided me to grandpa’s room.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    おじいちゃんの部屋にも、おばあちゃんの部屋にも、壁一面に、私が載った雑誌の切り取りや、私の写真がびっしり。
    Grandpa’s room, grandma’s room, too, the clip of the magazines where I appeared, my photos were on the wall closely.

    おばあちゃんの部屋には、こんな短冊もありました。
    In grandma’s room, there was this tanzaku*.

    (*note: tanzaku is the paper that usually used to write your hopes and dreams in Tanabata Festival)

    [​IMG]
    『華怜が元気で仕事ができます様に』
    『Please give Karen health so that she can work』

    「華怜」の「怜」が違うけど。笑
    まあいっか。
    The「-ren」part of「Karen」was wrong though. (LOL)
    Oh, well.

    おばあちゃんは寝る前に毎日、私の卒業公演の映像や、私が映っているDVDを観るそうです。
    Everyday before sleep, grandma seems to watch my graduation performance video, and the DVDs where I appeared.

    「華怜ちゃんの映画見たいねぇ。」
    「I wanted to see Karen’s movie.」

    おばあちゃんにそう言われました。
    もうすぐ「殿、利息でござる!」のDVDが発売されるから、持ってくるからね。そう伝えると、とても嬉しそうでした。
    I was told by grandma.
    Soon, 「Tono, Risoku de Gozaru!」’s DVD will be released, I will bring it. When I told her, she’s really happy.

    もっと頑張らなきゃ。
    もっともっと頑張らなきゃ。
    雑誌にもいっぱい載って、テレビにも出て、映画にもたくさん出なきゃ。
    I will work harder.
    I will work even harder.
    I will appear more in magazines, also on TV, will appear in a lot of movies, too.

    そしたらもっとたくさん、おじいちゃんとおばあちゃんに見てもらえる。
    会いに行ける。
    And then, I will show grandpa and grandma a lot.
    I will come to meet you.

    おじいちゃんとおばあちゃんがまだ元気なうちに、もっともっと。
    While grandpa and grandma are still healthy, more and more.

    気付いたら1人で熱くなって、1人で焦って、1人で泣いてました。
    When I realised it, I was on fire, sweat, and cried by myself.

    もっと頑張るから、待っててね。
    I will work harder, wait for it.

    誰かのために頑張ろうと思える自分の環境に改めて感謝です。
    Once again thanks to the people around me that I was able to work hard for someone.

    ファンのみんなももちろんそう。
    みんながいるから私は頑張れるし、頑張ろうと思える。
    Of course the fans, too.
    I can work hard because everyone is there, I can do my best.

    故郷の人たちのためにも、もっともっと頑張ります。
    For the people of my hometown, too, I will work even harder.

    もっともっと。
    More and more. (*Motto motto)
    ほっともっと。
    Hotto Motto*

    (*note: Hotto Motto is a Japanese fast food chain specializing in take out bento, found in all but 5 of Japan’s 47 prefectures.)

    唐揚げ弁当たべたくなった。
    I wanted to eat karaage bento.

    「怒り」
    「Rage」


    観てきました。
    I went to watch it.

    私は高校生料金なので、1000円でチケットが買えますが、
    Because I am a high school student, I bought the ticket for 1000 yen, *

    (*note: high school student ticket price is 1000 yen)

    まじで1000円じゃ足りない映画。
    The movie was really worth more than 1000 yen.

    俳優さんたちの努力や精神の削り方見たら、1000円が本当に申し訳なく思える作品でした。
    Seeing the actors’ efforts and the way they’re shaving their spirit, it’s too bad that the work cost 1000 yen only.

    だからと言っていくらが値する作品なのかとかそうゆうことが言いたいんじゃなくて、
    That’s why I said that it’s not about how much the work worth,

    命懸けてるなって、単純にそう感じました。
    I felt the simplicity and the risk. *

    (*note: not sure how it is translated, sorry D: )
    かっこいいなって。
    It’s really cool.


    私の事務所の先輩や、尊敬する役者さん、たくさんご出演されていましたが、
    Seniors from my agency, the actors that I respect, has appeared in a lot of works, but

    「役者」って、こうゆうことだなって。
    Being an「Actor」is like this.

    絶対にネタバレ無しで見た方がいい作品なので、これ以上は言いませんが、
    Because this is a great work, for people who have watched it, definitely don’t spoil, I won’t say anything more, but

    私も何か見えるまで、絶対に芝居続けよう。そう思いました。
    Until I see something, I will definitely continue to do play. That’s what I think.

    さ!モチベーション上げたところでそろそろ明治座入りします(OvO)
    Now! My motivation is lifted, I will enter Meijiza soon (OvO)

    1番不安だったのは、「衣装が似合うかどうか」ということ。笑

    ウィッグも初めてかぶる色だし、MIYABIちゃんとかけ離れちゃったらどうしよう…って凄く不安だったんだけど…
    It’s the first time I wore coloured wig, what if I got separated away from MIYABI’s character… that’s what made me uneasy, but…

    - The post where she talked about her grandparents was really touching. It's really hard for Karen especially that she was really close to her families.

    - She was full of SAKURA performances for the first half of the month. She'll be in Hai-Voca stage play in the mid of October!

    - She looked really great as MIYABI. Truly the spirit of Spring where the flowers are blooming (*Hana wa Saku reference :lol:)

    - Yesterday Natori Wakana and her mom came to watch SAKURA and Karen met them. After the performance she went to meet Hirari for dinner.

    - As always, looking forward for her upcoming works! :banana:

    I'm so happy that Karen has still so much work waiting for her (hopefully she doesn't overdo it though), and she looks really beautiful in her MIYABI costume. And also the way she talks about her grandparents is so sweet, and you can really see how much she loves and misses them. I did miss her at today's Janken Taikai though, I always loved the costumes she wore.

    今日は『はいボカ』稽古でしたよ〜
    Today was the practice for 『Hai-Voca』

    明日からはいよいよ小屋入り…!
    実際に舞台に立って、マイクを使っての稽古が始まります。
    また色々新しい発見が待ってるんだろうな〜
    Tomorrow is finally hut entrance… !
    Actually standing on the stage and using microphone, the practice will begin.
    I wonder how many discoveries are waiting to be found~

    対応力、対応力。
    Adaptation, adaptation.

    決定稿が完成して、製本された台本を頂きました。
    Final version is completed, I received the binded script.

    [​IMG]
    いやぁ、おもしろい。
    これはおもしろいですわよ。
    Well, it’s interesting.
    This is interesting.

    今回、初めて出演者の中で名前が1番最初に。
    This time, it is the first time my name comes out first from all of the casts.

    [​IMG]
    ジーンとしちゃうよね。こんなの。憧れだったんだもん。
    I felt happy. This kind of thing. I’ve been longing for this.

    大事に演じさせて頂きます。
    Allow me to act seriously.


    まだ全然間に合うので、皆さん『拝啓、あなたはボーカロイドを知っていますか?』是非観に来てください!
    Because there’s still enough time, everyone please come to see『Dear Sir, Do You Know Vocaloid?』by all means!

    あ、今日稽古場の近くでたまたまサザエさんと会ったんだ。
    Ah, I happened to meet Sazae-san near the practice hall.

    [​IMG]
    実物はテレビで見るより少し小さくて、顔色があまり良くなかったな。体調悪かったのかな。
    I saw the real one on TV when I was small, the complexion is not very good. Perhaps the physical condition was bad.


    それではまた明日。
    じゃんけんぽん!
    うふふふ〜。
    So then, see you tomorrow.
    JanKenPon!
    Ufufufu~.

    うきうきワクワクな話
    Cheerful and exciting story


    こんば!!
    Good evening!!

    昨日ブログさぼってごめんなさいーーーいーーいーーー。
    I’m sorry I didn’t do a blog post yesterday.

    本日も『SAKURA』ありがとうございました
    Thank you for today’s 『SAKURA』, too

    常により良いものにしようと進化し続けるSAKURA。先月の初日から早1ヶ月経ちましたが、今日また新しくMIYABIの振り付けが変わったり、他の演出も細かな修正が施され……
    SAKURA which always do something good and continues to evolve. It’s been one month since last month’s first day, today MIYABI’s new choreography changed again, other casts also got a small revision……

    日に日に素晴らしいものになっております
    Everyday’s been a great thing

    こんな素敵な作品の一部になれて本当に嬉しい。
    I’m really happy to be part of such a wonderful work.


    そして『はいボカ』の方も、まもなく初日!
    And then, people of『HaiVoca』, soon it will be the first day!

    明日はゲネプロからの撮影です…!充実!
    Tomorrow will be shooting for general probe…! Enhancement!

    はいボカ、今日初めて音響、照明、映像合わせて通し稽古をしましたが、かなり、いいです。
    HaiVoca, today is the full rehearsal of sound, lighting, videos, it’s pretty good.

    乞うご期待
    Stay tuned


    稽古後の撮影も楽しみだな〜♪
    なんかやっと本領発揮できそうな予感(OvO)w←
    なんて。笑
    I’m also looking forward the shooting after practice~♪
    Somehow I feel like I finally able to show my true abilities (OvO) (laughs)←
    Something like that. (LOL)

    明日もがんばるぞーー!おー!
    I’ll also work hard for tomorrow! Oo!

    (*note: gelato pique is a fashion brand)

    こんば!!
    Good evening!!

    今日は明日いよいよ初日を迎える、『はいボカ』のゲネプロからの撮影でしたよー!!
    Today was the shooting of the general probe of 『HaiVoca』, which will finally have its first day tomorrow!!

    明日幕が開くと言う実感があまりない…笑
    みんなで一丸となって頑張ります!!!
    There is not much feeling to say until the curtain rises… (LOL)
    I will do my best working together with everyone!!!

    そしてその後急いで撮影へ!
    And then went to a shooting hurriedly!


    いやー、めちゃくちゃ楽しかった!!!笑
    Well, it was insanely fun!!! (LOL)

    物凄くカロリーも消費したしメンタル削られたけどとにかく楽しかった!!満たされた!
    Tremendously burning calories, sharpening my mental, anyway, it was fun!! I’m satisfied!

    早くみんなに見て欲しいなあ!
    きっと今まで皆さんにお見せしたことのない『岩田華怜』を見てもらえると思います!
    I want everyone to see it soon!
    I’m really sure everyone will see the 『Iwata Karen』that you’ve never seen before till now!

    ふふふ(*´∇`*)ww
    Fufufu (*´∇`*) (Laughs)

    情報解禁待っててね♡
    Wait for the information ban lifting ♡



    いやーー、昨日は割と人生で最高についてない1日だったけど、今日はいい日過ぎた!

    サラダに入ってるトマトは最後に取っておきたい話
    Talking about how I saved tomato for later when having salad


    こんば!!
    Good evening!!


    『拝啓、あなたはボーカロイドを知っていますか?』
    『Dear Sir, Do You Know Vocaloid?』

    無事、初日終わりましたー!
    First day has finished safely!

    [​IMG]
    今日来てくれたみんな、ありがとう
    お花も本当にありがとう。
    とっても嬉しかったよ♪
    For those who came today, thank you
    Thank you for the flowers.
    I’m really happy ♪


    今後、こうして主演を張らせて頂く舞台は、『主演・岩田華怜』と言う肩書きが付く。
    From now on, in the stage where I was allowed to star, 『Starring・Iwata Karen』will be attached in the title.

    そうなった時に、やっぱり少しでも空席は無くしたいし、チケットも物販も、「完売」の文字が見たい。
    そうじゃないと、私がいくら頑張っても次に繋がらないってこともあるんです。
    When that happens, even just a little, I want to get rid of the empty seats, I want to see the word “sold out” to both the tickets and products, after all.
    If they are not, no matter how hard I tried, I cannot connect to the next one.

    そのためには、もっとたくさんの人に私を知ってもらう必要があって、尚且つその人たちに好きと言ってもらえるように、興味を持ってもらえるように努力しないといけない。
    それは私自身の頑張りにかかってます。
    To do that, I want to get more people to know about me, not only for those people to like me, but also to make them interested in me, I had no choice but to put efforts.
    It depends on the hard work of my own.

    だけど私は、今私を好きって言ってくれる人たちに、2年後も3年後も好きって言ってもらえることのほうが遥かに嬉しいんです。
    But now, people who said that they like me are more than compared to 2 and 3 years ago, I’m so happy.

    AKBに居た時に私を見つけて、今日まで応援してきてくれた人たちを、何より大切にしたいんです。
    To found me back in AKB, the people who supported me, are more important than everything.

    だから今日みたいに、私がどこで何をしようと必ず足を運んでくれるみんなが本当に大好きです。
    That’s why just like today, I love the people who went to wherever I went and whatever I did.

    みんなが客席に居てくれるだけで、私は2倍も3倍も輝ける。そんな気がするんです。
    With just being on the seat, I will shine 2 times, 3 times. That’s how I feel.


    えーと、何が言いたいかって言うと。笑
    Umm, what is it that I want to say. (LOL)




    これからも、たくさんみんなに会える機会をもっとつくるので、
    From now on, I want to make more works/opportunities to meet everyone,

    2年後も3年後も、10年後も、絶対会いに来てね!!!
    2 years, 3 years, 10 years later, we will absolutely meet!!!

    [​IMG]
    あ、明日の正午、
    Ah, tomorrow noon,


    私が最近言ってた「楽しかった撮影」の情報解禁ですので、スタンバイよろしくね

    そして、本日情報解禁になりました、ミオヤマザキさんプロデュース、『メンヘラバーチャルミュージアム』の「浮気がバレた夜に…」と言うアトラクションに、映像出演させて頂くことになりましたっ!

    私は誰がなんと言おうとミオヤマザキさんの音楽が好きだし、私が好きって言ったものを自分も好きになろうとしてくれるみんなが好きだよ。
    Incidentally, I was also listening to Mio Yamazaki’s songs!!
    As for who I am, I like Mio Yamazaki’s songs, I love the people who love the thing that I loved, which in turn, also come to love me.

    - During this year's Janken, even though Karen has graduated, there is still Sugawara Maya (SKE48) from Sendai, who wore Beef-tongue costume. So there were always Tohoku/Sendai representative in Janken since 2012. :lol:

    - Her new work is a (lead) role in Mio Yamazaki's music video. According to the information, it will be shown on Menhera Virtual Museum, an exhibition held by Mio Yamazaki on 29th and 30th October. Also, according to Karen, she'll be swearing a lot in the MV. I hope it will also be shown on TV. :^^;:

    - Okada Nana watched HaiVoca stage play and met Karen. As expected from Karen's love target <- :^^;:

    - HaiVoca stage play has finished yesterday. Cheers for all casts and staffs! The performance was almost full of customers and her photo pack (plus additional slot) were all sold out!! :1st:

    - Still, Karen keeps herself busy, whenever she's doing one work, another works have been in her waiting list. Hard work might not always be rewarded, but it won't betray you.

    Now that you mentioned it, we haven't seen SuuIwa for a while. Perhaps their schedule didn't match? Maybe the only thing that can make them have work together is when HoriPro give them work together.

    Indeed it's been a good year for former members. Btw that reminded me of the palm reading back in 2014 when she was told that:

    - She as two emotion line. People with this particular line can express emotion twice the amount of normal person. This line indicates the owner is a very kind person

    - She has actress quality

    - Will come a job (movie related) from foreign country, and could be connected to this job perhaps for around 3 or 4 years

    - Hence, should consider learning foreign language study

    (Source here)

    Well, she's currently walking the path of actress, although I'm still hoping that she sings occasionally. :^^;:

    As for the job from other country, I hope some movie producers noticed her, even if for a small role. That will be awesome. Speaking of foreign country, 2 days ago the contestants of Miss Universe came to Meijiza to watch SAKURA where Karen performed. :1st:

    Will post Weekly Karen on Monday for details.

    久しぶりだ。この感じ。
    It’s been a while. This feeling.

    某所のスタバで2時間泣き晴らしました。笑
    At Starbucks in a certain place I cried for 2 hours to refresh myself. (LOL)

    ソロモン以来の悔しさ再び。
    This frustrating feeling once again since Solomon.*

    (*note: Solomon’s Perjury, a film of where Karen went to audition and almost won the role)


    でもまた強くなったぞ。
    もう同じことは二度としないぞ。
    パワーアップするぞ。
    見返してやるぞ。
    But I will get stronger.
    I won’t let the same thing happen twice.
    I’ll have my power up.
    I’ll pay it back.


    そして腫れた目でこの子とご飯。
    And then with my swollen eyes I had lunch with this kid.

    がんばっぺ!な話
    Good luck! story


    こんば!!
    Good evening!!


    本日も明治座「SAKURA」、たくさんのご来場ありがとうございましたーー(*´∇`*)
    Thank you very much for today’s Meijiza 「SAKURA」,too (*´∇`*)

    きもちよかったー
    次の私の出番は、24日ですっ!
    It felt goodー
    My next appearance will be on 24th October!

    そしてそして、本日情報解禁されました、舞台「Wake Up,Girls!青葉の記録」に出演させて頂けることになりました!
    And then and then, today the information ban has been lifted, I am allowed to appear in stage play 「Wake Up,Girls! Green Leaves Records」

    [​IMG]
    私は、主人公でWUGのセンター、島田真夢ちゃんが昔所属していた国民的アイドルグループ「I-1crab」に在籍する、吉川愛ちゃんと言う役を演じさせて頂きます。
    I’ll play the role of Yoshikawa Megumi of「I-1club」, the National Idol Group which the heroine, WUG’s center, Shimada Mayu was belonged to before.

    (*note: Karen wrote ‘crab’ instead of ‘club’… LOL)

    [​IMG]
    まゆしぃ(主人公)がI-1にいた頃、1番近くでまゆしぃを見てきた、親友とも呼べる存在だった女の子です。
    She’s the closest girl to Mayushi and was even called best friend when Mayushii (heroine) was in I-1.

    ビジュアルも性格も大人しめで、健気で可愛らしいよしめぐ。
    YoshiMegu’s visual and character is good-mannered, brave, and lovely.

    今は「岩田華怜がよしめぐか…ちょっとイメージと違うなぁ」と言われてしまっても仕方がない(←おい)ですが、笑
    Right now, if I was told「Iwata Karen is YoshiMegu… somehow the image is a bit different」, it can’t be helped (←Oi) (LOL)

    1月、皆さんにステージ上からお会いできるときには、身も心も「よしめぐ」としてお会いできるよう、精進致しますので、どうかお手柔らかにお願いします……!!!!ww
    In January, when I see everyone from the stage, also devoted my body and mind as 「YoshiMegu」, please don’t be too hard on me……!!!! (laughs)

    自分の故郷が舞台と言うことで、元々アニメも見ていて、私自身AKBにいた頃、辛いことがあっても、WUGを見ると、アイドルで在ることに誇りを持つことができた。私にたくさん自信と夢をくれた作品でした。
    My hometown is the stage, I originally watched the anime, when I was in AKB, when it’s painful, I watched WUG, I was able to take pride as Idol. It was the work that gave me a lot of confidence and dreams to me.

    そんなWUGの舞台化のオーディションのお話を聞いたとき、すっごくワクワクして、絶対掴みたい!って思ったんです。
    When I heard the audition of WUG stage play, I was so excited, I thought that I definitely want to take it!

    なので、こうして出演させて頂けることになって、本当に嬉しいです
    Thus, I’m allowed to appear, I’m really happy


    みんながたくさん東京公演を観に来てくれたら、仙台で追加公演とか……!?!?
    Tokyo performances where there are many people who will come to watch, what about Sendai additional performances……!?!?

    あるのか………!?!?!?←
    Will there be any………!?!?!?←



    あってくれーーー!!笑
    Please be thereーーー!! (LOL)


    これ以上言うと怒られそうなのでやめときますが…ww
    Because I might get angry so I’ll stop.. (laughs)



    来年の1月、新年の幕開けは、また「アイドル」の私に戻って、みんなに会えそうです
    Next January, in the beginning of the new year, 「Idol」will return to me once again, seems that it wants to meet everyone.


    楽しみにしててね!!
    Look forward to it!!

    朝顔を洗うと絶対周りを水浸しにしてしまう話
    Talking about how my surroundings definitely go wet when I wash my morning face


    こんば!!
    Good evening!!


    今日は学校の後、「裁判長!ここは懲役4年でどうすか」を観に行ってきました(o^^o)
    Today after school, I went to watch 「Saibancho! Koko wa Choeki 4 nen de Dodesuka」(o^^o)

    [​IMG]
    「ダンガンロンパ THE STAGE 2016」でお世話になったスタッフさん、共演者さんがたくさん関わっているこの作品。
    絶対観に行く!って決めてたから、来れてよかった^ ^
    A lot of staffs and co-stars who took care of me during 「DANGANRONPA THE STAGE 2016」was involved in this work.
    When I decided to definitely watch it, I was glad that I’ve come ^ ^

    想像を超えて、めちゃくちゃよかったです……
    なんか、ほんと、お芝居って凄いな、役者って凄いなって改めて思えて、
    Beyond imagination, it was really good……
    Somehow, really, I think that theatrical performance is great, the actors are great,


    尊敬する先輩や実力のある俳優さんばかりだっただけに、とても勉強になったし、気合い入りました。
    With just the seniors that I respected and the actors who have capabilities, I learned a lot, I got fired up.

    思いっきり平手打ちされた気分。
    I feel like I got slapped to the fullest.


    目覚めた!!!!
    I was awakened!!!!

    もう立ち止まらないぞ!
    やったる!!!よっしゃ
    I won’t stand still!
    I’ll do it!!! Yossha



    …って感じの1日でした(o^^o)笑
    … it was one day of that feeling (o^^o) (LOL)

    [​IMG]
    萌乃さんのハルコ凄かったなあ。。
    Moeno-san’s Haruko was great..

    すーちゃんのハルコはまた全然違って凄くいいと聞き、
    I heard that Suuchan’s Haruko has a totally different greatness,

    2回目観たい欲に駆られている私です。笑
    I want to watch it the second time. (LOL)

    すっぴんお許しをな話
    Sorry for no make up


    こんば!!!
    Good evening!!!


    2回目の観劇ww
    I watched the performance the second time (laughs)

    [​IMG]
    「裁判長!ここは懲役4年でどうすか」
    「Saibancho! Koko wa Choeki 4 nen de Dodesuka」

    2回目だから気づくことや、理解できることも多く、2回観てよかったなって本当に思った!!!
    Because it was the second time, I was able to notice and understand a lot of things, so I thought that I’m glad to watch the second time!!!

    昨日の倍泣いてしまった……
    I cried more than yesterday……

    [​IMG]
    すーちゃんにも久しぶりに会えた!
    I also met Suuchan after a long time!

    すーちゃんのハルコ、ヤバかった。
    Suuchan’s Haruko was great.

    今まで見たことのないすーちゃんで、聴いたことのない声で、見たことない表情してた。。
    It’s Suuchan that I’ve never seen before, never heard her voice before, never seen her facial expressions before..

    鳥肌……
    Goosebumps ……

    とにかく凄かったの!!!(語彙力)
    Anyway, it was awesome!!! (vocabulary)

    昨日も今日も、本当に刺激的な日でした!
    Yesterday and today, too, were really exciting!

    - The Rainbow Train (Niji no Ressha) is not stopping! As seen from her blog post, she'll appear in Wake Up, Girls! stage play on January 2017 as Yoshikawa Megumi of Idol Group "I-1club". Many of Iwata Family are happy about this. Too bad it seems that there are no plans for Sendai performance even though WUG are from Sendai.

    - She met Suuchan (SuuIwa!) after a long time yesterday. Considering they are in the same agency, perhaps different schedule and works preventing them from meeting each other.

    - Karen will continue in Meijiza SAKURA until November. There's also Menhera Virtual Museum where she appeared in music video on 29-30 October.

    - Also, she'll be on Nico Nico Live Stream on 2 November at 7pm JST (link)
