[JWEB] Kawashima Noel (Noemaru) - 14 March 2022

[dreamweavernyx]

Happy White Day! I come bearing a gift from Noel himself - his latest Jweb essay! I was moved to tears translating this ;o;

Noe-san talks about what he's been into recently, the US announcement, and reassures us that they'll continue to stay by Traja-tans' side! He also includes a sweet dedication to two people who he's close to ;o;

As usual, I didn't replicate most of his emoji! Also, LJ has informed me that this post is TOO LARGE (omfg Noe-san) so I will be splitting it into two parts!!

Noemaru - Regular update (14 March 2022, 6pm JST)

Alright! It’s time for the March regular update for Noemaru!

Today, I’ll fill this blog entry with every last bit of my love and thoughts~!

Fufufu.

I mean, it’s White Day, the day I’ve really been looking forward to, after all~

All of the love that I’ve received, I’ll make sure to return it many times, no, tens of times over, you know!

I won’t accept any product returns~ so to~o ba~d~ (Haha, how annoying)

Well then, I’d like to talk about a lot of stuff while sharing some recent updates.

Recently, you know! I’ve gotten into a lot of new hobbies~!

Up till recently, I didn’t really have any particular hobbies, and it was kind of mostly like “Hm, games, I guess, or maybe if you stretched it a little… maybe studying?”, wasn’t it?

(I mean, well, even if you say “yeah, you were like that”...)

Well, about that!

I’ve gotten into a lot of new things lately, like camping, a game where you train your body and defeat your enemies, and leathercraft~!

I’ve been really into solo camping!

Because of that, I thought I’ll need to train up my body a little more! (lol)

I wanted to dress up my gear in their own original clothes(?)!*

[T/N: Probably referring to why he got into leathercraft]

Because of that, I’ve tried a lot of things, and I’ve realised!

You know!

Once you encounter something that makes you think “ah, that’s nice”, or “ah, I like that”, the world really starts to broaden up!

I’m really happy.

And then, and then!

It occurred to me, that this might be what you experience, as well.

I’ve wondered whether, after meeting me, you’ve become happy? If you’ve become happier than you were before, then that’s great!

For me, as far as possible I’d want to like everyone.

I’m a person who wants to like everyone.

That’s why, I’m a person who wants to properly convey my love to everyone.

I’ve always felt that way, and even now I want to be able to live on without losing sight of those feelings!

But I’ve come to realise that it’s important, to be “special”~

I receive a lo~~t of love!

I receive a lo~~t of special love!

That’s why, I want to return that with a love that’s even more special than what I’ve received!

I’d want to go around to the households of each and every Noe-tan and give out hearts (Santa emoji)

I want to give out a lot of hearts, and vigorously expand the world of each person who’s come to like me~

I want to have them think things like, “my oshi / bias is appearing in this movie or drama, so I want to read the original work it’s based on”! Or, “he’s doing a concert here, I want to go and watch it”! Or, “this came out in a quiz show, so I remember it!”.

Obviously, I’d like to spread the sights you can experience in an enriched life like that, but more than that, I’d like to be involved to the point where, without me you can’t really speak about life!

Hahaha, how about tha~t!

There aren’t many idols who’d say something like that, right! (lol)

That’s my style as an idol, you know.

I want to show a lot of new sights.

Of course, both to you, and to myself as an idol.

And then, and then!

I’ll change the topic~!

Speaking of something you guys are all interested in!

It’s got to be the Instagram live on 3 March, right!

To just quickly give a recap,

• From late March, we’ll be going to Los Angeles on a training trip!

• We’ll go for lots of training such as attending language school, going for dance lessons, and vocal training, and we’ll continue to grow!

• We’ll also take part in contests! Lots of them, from now on!

• The end date isn’t fixed!

• Once we get bigger, we’ll come home! (← This will be part of the test)

It’s something like that!

All of Travis Japan, we were rea~~lly nervous, you know. (lol)

I mean, it’s a situation that’s never been heard of before, right!

“We’ll be going to study overseas! To Los Angeles! That place with that Hollywood! And then, and then! The date of our return hasn’t been decided yet~!”

To hear something like that, you’d surely be super surprised, right!

Sorry for surprising all of you with such a sudden announcement.

It wasn’t even something that you could adjust to straight away, and say things like “Wow! Amazing! Have a safe trip!”, wasn’t it.

I’m sure we made many of you worry, or wonder how you should continue to proceed from now on, right…?

For us, this isn’t something we decided upon half-heartedly, so no matter how high of a wall we encounter we’ll definitely overcome it and come home! This is what we’ve pledged to ourselves, you know.

We have absolutely no plan of leaving everyone’s side; that was the pretext on which we’ve progressed thus far!

But it surely must have been a surprised to be suddenly told that, without being given the chance to mentally prepare yourself, right!

That’s why, I’m so~~~~~~~~ry (orz)

But, you know, I really wanted to announce it~~~~~~~~ (orz)

“Ok~ay! Right now, we’re in Los Angele~~~~~~s! We won’t come back for a whi~~~~le!”

Wouldn’t you just hate something like that?!

You’d definitely hate it, right??!!

If it were like that, I’m sure all of us would surely hate it, right! (lol)

We had to consider a lot of different time periods and timings, and decide when to announce it, stuff like that! See, isn’t it a really difficult thing to decide?

I mean, I mean,

We’ve surely got to make such a big announcement by ourselves, don’t we?

It’s not like we’re making an announcement like “ehhhhh~! A tearful surprise performance!”, right?

We were so nervous. (lol)

I mean, to reveal this information for the first time in real time, it’s not something you can get used to.

But, you know,

No matter how much we weren’t used to it,

We absolutely wanted to announce this information first to all of you, who’ve supported us all this way!

We wanted to fix it at a timing, a moment, when we could convey our firm resolution directly to all of you, who’ve been supporting us by our side, directly from our own mouths!

It’s because you, our fans, have always been by our side the most, and supported us the most!

That’s why, being an idol, that’s something I think has to be protected above all else!

After all, it’s because you encountered us, that’s why we are able to be idols, you know.
