It is announced that Suzuki Ami and Goto Maki will have a collaborative Christmas live performance held at Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in Tokyo on December 25th.

Both Suzuki and Goto made their debut in the entertainment industry after auditions held for the TV Tokyo variety show "ASAYAN. Suzuki made her debut as a singer through a vocalist audition held in 1998, and Goto joined Morning Musume the following year in 1999 after passing an audition for additional members.

This will be the first time that the two, who currently belong to the same office, will collaborate in a live performance. Suzuki said, "I feel like we are comrades who have been active in the same era, and that's why we can communicate with each other without saying anything. Although I am younger than her, I feel that I can rely on her like an older sister," and Goto says, "I have been listening to Ami's albums since I sang her songs during my audition for Morning Musume, so I am very happy to be able to work with her this time."

The concept of the live concert is "a gorgeous Christmas party for adults. The event will feature solo performances, sessions by the two, talks, and more. The visuals of the two, which were shot to match the concept, have also been released.

Digging through the channel on which we found Kaga's InstaLive, we also find an InstaLive by Ayano Hamaura (Kobushi Factory) in costume for Halloween…

^ Wow I haven't kept up at all with Hamachan post H!P, but she does have a great looking insta channel. Lots of variety in both her outfits and the general visual aesthetic. Good photographic eye.

Following through the links at the instagram you provided, I see she's still in the business, with an official page at: https://wmartists.jp/profile/ayano_hamaura/ and a recent appearance in a stage play. Good for her!

[Celedam]

Overall, this YT channel is meant to be dedicated to the H!P members that have gone to study English abroad, so in future episodes it shouldn't just be Nakky!

The latest from Nakajima (and Morito by association)…



Hi, I'm Saki Nakajima.

Is space-time distorted? As fast as you can
Chisaki Morito has arrived in NZ.

The topic of "Hawaii" makes me feel like traveling.
We'll talk more about it later.

In the meantime, this video shows you how to get to the school.
There are many ways to get to the school.
I took a lot of different ways to get to the school, but the buses in New Zealand are very comfortable and I almost always take the bus to school.

• I forgot to press the STOP button once.

• One time Chii-chan got really lost on the bus.

• One time I missed a bus stop while I was sitting on the bus.

When I look back, I do it quite often, but well, this is how it is. So…

"That's life." [in English]

That's a useful phrase.

---

Talk about buses actually makes up only a small part of the video, but that's the part with Morito, so I guess it was fresh in her mind when she wrote the video description.

Mostly she talks about roundabouts (which apparently are uncommon enough in Japan that they need to be explained), crosswalks, and bicycle safety.

Both of them look really funny when they were trying to ask the bus driver for a bus pass.
