| About Umi I'm Mimori Suzuko, voicing Sonoda Umi. When I first saw Umi-chan's illustration, I had the impression that she was a cute girl with an adult feel to her. Actually during our debut single while trying to record Umi-chan's monologue, I got the impression that she was sort of a Yamato Nadeshiko at her core, and so I tried my best to create that dignified atmosphere.

 Message from Mimori Suzuko Umi-chan, we've overcome so many different things together during these six years. When we first started, Umi-chan was a perfect Yamato Nadeshiko. That was such a distant existence, I felt a lot of confusion. What should I do to be on better terms with her? What should I do to draw out her cuteness? Questions like those confused me. But thanks to all the fans cheering us on, my time together with Umi-chan gradually increased... I got to see many of her different natural expressions♪ I'm grateful to everyone♪ Lastly, being able to meet Umi-chan was the pride of my life as a voice-actress. I am truly thankful. But we'll be together from here onwards, too! ♪  MESSAGE FOR YOU! I remember that six years ago, when we made our first appearance in the magazine, I was so, so happy that I went to the bookstore myself to buy a copy. In the few years after we started, when there were no concerts or anything, it was through the magazine that we could feel all the encouragement from all the fans. Deciding on sub-unit names and center positions for our songs... I can deeply feel that the path we walked here was always accompanied by our fans. Thank you all very much for the tons of love♪ |
| Blog Post after Final Live: Sayounara e Sayonara![5] |
|---|
| March 31 and April 1, us μ's finally made it to our Final Live at Tokyo Dome.
μ’s Final LoveLive!
With all sorts of emotions from the past six years mixing together, I made it to the Final Live while still unable to gather my feelings. During the final MC, I said I would continue in my blog post. To everyone who's been waiting, sorry. :(
Once a bit more time passes, I think I would be able to withstand this feeling. That's why, I would like everyone to wait just a while longer.
Before that time goes by, there's something I want to tell everyone, And that is the feelings of gratitude from the bottom of my heart♡
All the fans who have granted so many of our dreams together, thank you very much ♡ Thanks to everyone supporting us so much, we managed to experience so many miracles, and see all sorts of sceneries.
If I think about it being the last time I would become sad, At the very end, when everyone sang "Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari" together, the tears I had been holding back up to that point began to flow. Being wrapped in such a warm feeling while leaving the stage... It made me wonder what is happiness. At the end after we left the stage, we heard everyone's loud cheers of "μ's! μ's!". The nine of us hugged each other tightly and let the tears flow while listening quietly.
And, My beloved members of μ's, Being the greatest friends, and also the greatest rivals, this time together with everyone is truly a treasure to me. Laughing together, crying together, vexing over things together... Covered in all sorts of sweat, everyone made it here by advancing one step at a time. These six years of ours, there are many points that overlapped with parts of the μ's within the anime... I mean, we had a lot more different kinds of troubles and joys than the anime... We made it here by cheering each other on and always working hard. Once again, I realized deeply that we have really become μ's for real.
Everyone, thank you♡
At the start, I was extremely puzzled at the personality which was entirely different from me, but bit by bit I got to see different sides of her, getting closer to Umi-chan during this process made me happy♪
Every moment was our youth, dazzling and bright... At any rate, it was fun!
Other than that, the producer who has always been supporting us, Kisara-san, and all the staff who has supported us since the start, Kimino-sensei, Murota-san, Director Kyougoku,
The makeup-artists who always lets me transform into Umi-chan, Osada-san, Shimizu-san, and stylist Kyouko-san,
In any case, these two days were like a dream, filled with the greatest fun.☆    Thank you♡
That's a "Hello!" to the daring future ahead!
