the price is really steep though, I might just delay that till next year to buy them.

The description says they're a Nico show without sponsors that can tell you the truth about what's been hot in the first two quarters. No idea what the connection to Trendy is.

In his opinion AKB is now established and has stopped growing, so this will definitely be the year of Momoclo. CDs don't sell these days, so it's smart that they have income from so many concerts.

Never saw this before. What is this from, exactly?

It is from the last disc. Apparently the girls hadn't known of the name change.

she was supposed to say something that she could never say at home.

"Mama actually when you asked me what I was doing, I was actually texting my friend"

apparently it was like a rule in her house that she must show her mother every text that she wants to send to her friend. She has been sneaking away from that lately and when her mother asked what she was doing, she just said that she's just writing her blog. The mother seems to be really attached to her that whenever A-rin went for a sleepover at her friend's house, the mother will start to be a bit restless and then the her father would start asking when is she coming home.
