Maasa's Christmas

Merry Christmas

Every year Maasa looks a bit forward to Santa's visit.
But he never comes.

Santa hasn't visited her for whole 10 years, since the 6th year of elementary, however, now he appears again for her nephew.

For Maasa, the best Christmas gift is that she gets to spend it with Berryz members.

She asks all the papas and mamas not to show the blog text to children (lol.)

The best condition!!

Maasa asked if all the little kids got presents from Santa yesterday.

She wishes every elementary, middle and high school students good luck with their homework.
For college students she wishes an enjoyable winter break, since there are challenges and such.
She cheers for the adults to do well in their jobs.

Berry-chans will run through these remaining 6 days of 2014 with good spirit.

Maasa will do her best in rehearsals and shootings!

Event

Berryz Koubou had a Christmas event today. It was quite a free event and there was a karaoke set on the stage for the members. Maasa had a lot of fun in the event. She'll have fun and be happy everytime she can.

For everyone that couldn't come, she says there might be a DVD release of the event. They sung a lot of songs that weren't from H!P.

Rehearsal

Today was another rehearsal for H!P's upcoming tour.

For the first time in a while Maasa is a bit confused with all the moves, since there is a lot.
She thinks the power of the children is great and doesn't want to lose to them.

Maasa also loves the t-shirts she and Yurina are wearing today.

(Photo is a mirrored version to show the awesome t-shirts!)

Regarding the Light Novel Translations

 

It was never my intention from the start to have those translations permanently hosted here alongside the rest of the Church of Maasa entries. It was far too messy, and just a temporary set up until I came up with a more efficient solution.

I have played around with various ideas over the last couple of weeks, most of which didn't work anywhere near as well as I'd hoped. 

I had, for example, toyed with the idea of hosting them on the Church blog like they have been, but to provide the option to either choose to only see Church entries, or only see Ranobe translations. Or failing that, the ability to at least toggle the visibility of the translations on and off. In an ideal world, that would probably be the feature I'd be unveiling to you right now, but unfortunately I couldn't come up with a design for it that worked the way I wanted it to.

In the end, I have decided to move over all of the entries to a new blog, loosely modeled after the official blog.

The new blog is still entirely affiliated with the Church (think of it as a subsidary company and the Church being a parent company), but by actually having two seperate blogs instead of the one, it seemed to me to be far tidier and far more efficient. 

To those who have been reading the translations and commenting on them, don't worry, as your comments have also been carried over to the new blog. In fact, I'm hoping that this will help reduce the number of spam comments recieved as well.

You can find the new translations at http://ranobeblog.blogspot.com/. I've also added a list of links at the top of the right sidebar here on the Church of the latest 5 entries on the blog.
