On this day...

Nineteen years ago today the Great Mother experienced her first moments in the world. And we reached the official start date for the lesser-known Maaist dating system, which today becomes AMV (or AM for short) 20.

And so the Church wishes a happy Birthday to the Holy Mother, Maasa, and a happy Awesome Day to the people. 

Just how are you all celebrating? I shall celebrate today with the consumption of good food and alcohol. A feast for the coming year, as it were. Perhaps you are the same. Perhaps you have grander ideas. Do share.

I know that one honourable Maaist is providing the service of a brief timeline of the history of Maasa in Hello! Project. It is no small undertaking, but he has catalogued much information and many pictures as diligently as one could possibly hope to ask. You can find this fine reliquary here.

May Maasa continue to watch over you in the coming year, and may you continue to watch over her.

Birthday Pictures

As my dear friend Garlix requested, I will give you another PicSpam!

Since I am not at home I have to search for all the pictures on the Internet, and may not be able to upload my favorite selection. My apologies for that!

Now, please enjoy!

(Symbolizing the alliance with the Captainist Party. Maasa obviously approves.)

Once, again, Happy Late Birthday!

They may not be rare, but they are still beautiful.

(This is not a question)

May Maasa be with you, bringing light into darkness.

Happy birthday, Maasa!

Brothers, Sisters, Comrades, the day has come! The greatest day of the year where kindness is given unto your fellow man, and you are rewarded with beauty given unto you by the Great Sudou Herself!

This day, July the third is the anniversary of the corporeal incarnation of the Maasa.

On this exact day, July the third, in the year of our Mama, two thousand ten, Maasa celebrates the 18th anniversary of Her birth.

At this time, I would like to lead a prayer with quote from the Maasaist Scripture, Genesis 1:1-1:6:

In the beginning Tsunku created the Hello! Project and the Kids.

And the Kids were without form, and a great mass. And the Spirit of Maa moved upon the face of the Workshop.

And Maasa said, "Let there be dvds!" and lo there were dvds.

And Maasa was in the dvds, and the dvds were good: And Tsunku divided the Workshop from the Kids.

And Tsunku called the Workshop Berryz, and the Kids C-ute. And the third of March was Berryz day.

And so it was so.

Happy birthday, Maasa!

May you continue to shine brilliantly, whether from the sidelines, from the back, or in the front.

I will end with a link to one of the greatest videos ever made: The Maasa version of Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance (uploaded to youtube by our own Dran).
