    Is what I'd translate this into. It's not completely literal, however.


    That makes more sense. It was the 分まで that threw me off. Thank you very much!

    Thank you for condolence messages and for attending our daughter's memorial service.
    After she passed away, EbiChu members came to meet her several times.
    They told us a lot about their memories of Rina.
    She was in the group for 6 years 9 months, we think that it was very fruitful for her.

    We will continue to support EbiChu Rina loved.
    We hope that EbiChu will make many fans happy for her.
    We think that she is always watching over EbiChu and EbiChu family from heaven.

    This 18 years had a significant meaning to her life.
    We hope that she will live on in your heart forever.

    5 days before she passed away, we went on a trip to Hakone.
    That was the last trip for us.
    Rina took a lot of pictures to upload photos to the her blog(Mattsun Sanpo).
    We would like to take this opportunity to update her last blog instead of her.

    We went on a trip to Hakone with Jasmine on February 3.

    did anyone know what is the content of the matsuno handwriting memo?

    I saw a news report and cannot translate well , but maybe it is a song sketch?

    心細い時、つらい時
    不安な時
    勇気をあたえれる 笑顔になれる
    支えられる様な存在になりたい!この曲を
    そんな曲にしたいです。
    最後の曲聞いてください。

    Whenever you're feeling hopeless, painful
    Or anxious
    Granting you courage, making you able to smile
    And supporting you - that's the kind of existence I want to have!
    I want to make this song to be that kind of song
    Please listen to the final song

    Aiai participates in "JNR to JR 30th Anniversary Privatization Tribute Album"

    I find it curious that despite being an album under the label of king records (MCZ, Rocka's) Aiai can sing in it.

    She can sing on anything she wants as long as her record label approves it. This is not a King Records album. Those are not King Records artists. This is a cover album commissioned by a third party, with only the release being managed by King Records. Sony and the other labels represented are undoubtedly taking a cut without having to invest any money into promotion and distribution. It's a non-issue.

    Management is obviously doing a good job protecting them and building up the return slowly

    Yeah but it must be hard on them, such young people and having a close friend who is almost their own age pass away that unexpected..
    Must be very hard for them, and her family as well :/

    I'm reviewing Japanese music in the month of March, so I had to do a review in honor if Rina, if you are interested:

    but at least we knew that they accepted the reality and move forward. :)
    I feel relieved that Ayaka said "Matsuno's deed?" when there was a internet connectivity problem during their UST.

    Yeah. I think the most difficult aspect is to be an "idol", in other words be cheerful and always in a good mood.
    Despite feeling not cheerful at all or not having a feeling of betrayal to the person they have lost.
    Or making the appearance to the fans that they don't care.

    So far they seem to have managed everything right
