"It's a sad day but
Everyone
Thinking about Rina
Talking about Rina
Loving about Rina
From my heart, I'm really grateful

Rina always joyful with her smile

Everyone's memory of Rina
Our talk of Rina that we didn't know about
Please let me hear it... I wonder if she came to visit everyone today

Together, let's eat a joyful meal.

Perhaps Rina got on these photos"

Rina, it's a bit late but congratulations on becoming an adult!!
How's the taste of sake?
Rina is quite the gourmet so she's probably fussy about the sake she drinks too.
Today, together with Fujii and the members, we went to meet her.
At the site everyone thought,"Did Rina come here", that kind of feeling,
even though often we would feel that Rina came to meet us, it's been quite a while since we have that feeling.
Sometimes I would dream that I met Rina and though it surprised me, I was happy.
Everyone is always waiting you know!
Today, with Rina's mother, we talked a lot about her and I felt a certain warmness from it.
We talked with Rina's father too and hearing from his side of her more than usual got everyone to talk a lot.
Today, did everyone think of Rina more than usual?
Today, I talked with Fujii and reminisced,
about the time during FC event, when Rina sang 'Anta', the part when she accidentally said 'Tsuke' and 'Ketsu',
and later on everyone was teasing her about it and made her cry.
During live, there was a lot of laughter. When it was over, even though everyone was still laughing,
Rina herself said she hated making that mistake.
There were times when she was serious about it.

Sometimes memories of her suddenly popped up, there were times when we were on our way to a handshake event,
Rina would cry during the breaks.
When she came back, she was glad Ebichu family were kind and express their worry for her and it became a restart.
At that time, everyone's kindness made me shed tears too. I still linger those memories to this day.
I wonder why I would shed tears whenever I think of those times.
In this way of thinking, Ebichu family has always been helping me.
I'm always grateful for that.
There's a certain campaign while we were travelling through shinkansen, Rina would seat beside me,
rest her head on my shoulder and slept.
Even though my shoulder is lower than her head, she still can sleep.
When she woke up, her neck would cramp up and it would bother her all day.
Such a memory I could remember.

We've received various cute unpublished pictures from Wanibukkusu and Abbutou Boy.
Also a lot of sweet offshots from lives.
Even though we should probably revise these photos, it's still fun to look at.
And Rina is always closeby Ayaka.

Thinking about Rina, I felt warm, I felt pain, but those feelings always dissipate no matter how many times.
During joyful time, when you're having a good meal, think about Rina being there with you and feel assured.
Thank you for always watching over us.
From now on, Rina and our pride are the Ebichu members.
Please watch over the family, us and the members ok?
