Yesterday’s continuation

Was it yesterday? Today? It seems Tokyo was warm these days.
I wonder, as it was just a little bit chilly in L.A .

Anyway, resuming what I was saying yesterday…(as in, What am I doing in L.A.?)

First thing this morning, I went to the gym, I ran, and ran, and ran. LOL
OK, I’ll take this seriously.

Then, a krump dance lesson!!!

This one was really risky.
I’ve been living for 22 years, but it’s my first time doing this.

BTW, about the krump thing…
Since this is also my first time, I cannot explain it pretty well,
It’s like an angry sensation, like as if you were listening to a big punch,
but for those who dance it, that image is totally… wrong…

Anyhow, I’m moving a lot!!!!
Although, I’m not used to seeing girls dancing it, but it’s really interesting.

And, yesterday I had voice training,

Such as Ballet, Jazz, and Hip-hop~.
My body is getting strong LOL

Tomorrow, I’ll have dance lessons…. and I’m supposed to attend a show.

Well, see ya.

Ah, btw, today, I went to buy a jersey….
It’s super cute.
Maybe I’ll use it during my lessons!!! It’s a pink one!!
I can’t get this stuff in Japan…..
So the prize is worth it.

Ok, have a good niiiight.

I haven’t seen you for a long time.

I haven’t seen you for a long time. Goto Maki here.

Regarding myself, moreover, the matter with my younger brother, I’m sorry to make you worry and for multiplying the trouble.

Although I was worried about many things, the decision to make one new step forward was made.

Even though I don’t understand what’s behind the horizon,
and even if this step could be coming too late, I want to keep persisting and heading toward my dream.

I’d like to come out in front of everyone with a smile…
I’ve been holding out in earnest, without forgetting what it is to be Goto Maki.
If you could, please keep on supporting me.

It’s all of a sudden, but…

To tell the truth, I’ve come to L.A. now!!
Although I actually arrived here several days ago…

The weather is nice… It’s warm… (and that’s why) there isn’t any pollen around.
That’s really good!

The town is fairly ordinary and relaxed, it ranks in at #3 of all the places I might want to live in the future

Well, actually, this is my second time in L.A.
Since I only spent a night here last time, I haven’t really come to understand exactly where I am. (haha)

I’ll be here for one month this time.
So I hope I will get to learn about nice places around.

Well,

By the way, why have I come to L.A.????
Let’s see……

Well, that’s….
You see, it’s….

I’ll tell you tomorrow.

I plan to upload it.
