Hello, I'm Yoshinakino.

I've been to Kagoshima and Ishigaki Island in the south, but Tokyo is the northernmost point.

I've been to Kagoshima and Ishigaki Island in the south, but Tokyo was the northernmost.

Last month, my record was finally updated to the northernmost point of Japan, Hokkaido.

Yes, it was always Kolokol that took me to the uncharted land. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿(foreshadowing of the title)

After joining Kolokol, I was able to go to various uncharted places, increase my income, and make 100 friends!
It's like an advertisement for a suspicious jar.

It was my first time in Hokkaido, and I had a lot of fun, so I'd like to write down my memories in a note!



The morning of departure

We had to meet at Osaka Airport, so the people of Hyogo Prefecture won. Osaka Airport is located in Hyogo Prefecture, did you know that? It's in Hyogo, but it's called Osaka Airport. It's like Disneyland, which is in Chiba but has Tokyo in its name.

But the real name (real name?) of Osaka Airport is probably Itami Airport. is probably Itami Airport.

This is a mysterious photo that I took because there were so many carry-ons.

My carry-on is the only one that's unusually large among the members. On the other hand, aren't they all tiny? My carry-on is the same one I used when I went to Australia for a short study abroad program. 3 days and 2 nights in Hokkaido was the same amount of luggage as studying abroad.

It was because I brought two different coats, and I was a bit of a punk trying to be fashionable in Hokkaido.

This is P-san getting stuck at the security check. It makes me smile when I see members getting stuck at the security check, because it's so cute (lol).

Saki used to get stuck both on the way to and from the airport, and I took a video of her smiling.

Before departure, we all went to Starbucks. This is a staple of the Korochans' airplane expeditions. We went to Starbucks before we left on the Okinawa and Fukushima expeditions! (You can read more about the Okinawa trip's Starbucks routine on this note)

Let's fly!
The seats were random, but I was in the Kinosaki line ♨.
I felt like I was on an airplane with elementary school kids as they were making noise beside me the whole time.

I gave her a tangerine and she immediately peeled it and ate it. Who eats mandarin oranges on an airplane? How cute. Well, it was me who gave them to her.

And just like that, we arrived in Hokkaido! My first landing! My first landing!

While we were waiting for our carry-on cases, we met a group of SOLs and Queens. Everyone's carry-on was so small. I was the only one with a ridiculously big carry-on. I realized how excited I was. Shame on me.

I picked up my carry-on and headed for the rental car shop.
After we got the car, there was a problem that we couldn't fit our carry-ons in the trunk because there were too many of them, so we had to rent a big car that was the size of a location bus.

After all the formalities, we got into the car and saw a rainbow. Koro-chans were so excited to see the beautiful rainbow.

Mr. P was a little confused about driving the huge car, but he got us to the hotel safely.
Picture 8

This is Kanagi's hotel room! (Don)

Whenever I stay at a hotel on an expedition, I always check the layout of the room as soon as I arrive and place my luggage there. I'm the type of person who checks the room layout as soon as I arrive at the hotel and places my luggage there. Then, I fix them there until I check out. I don't like it when things are not in a certain place.

At home, I want to keep everything fixed, like the position of the tissues and the remote control, but since I live at home, my family always moves things around. Every time I do, I have to fix it while going "Aaaaahhh!
(laughs) This is one of the reasons why I want to live alone.

(laughs) This is one of the reasons why I want to live alone. I don't like having flyers for pizza delivery on my desk, so I put them in a drawer right away. I don't like to have a lot of stuff on my desk.
I don't like the mysterious notes and ballpoint pens that are always on the desk in hotels. I also don't like the phone on the desk... but I can't move it, so I move it to the edge.

I always think it must be annoying for the hotel to have to change the location of the trash can, shampoo, and hair dryer. But when I check out, I put them back to some extent... so...


The night of the first day

At night, we went out to dinner with all the idols ^^^🎶.

Genghis Khan！！！！！！

"Genghis Khan is sheep?" "So what kind of meat is lamb? Goat? No, it's mutton, isn't it? Well, mutton is sheep, isn't it? "Then Genghis Khan is... ？？？？"
...and the Korochans held a kind of meeting to figure out what kind of meat this was.

Genghis Khan is a general term for mutton, with lamb being under one year old and mutton being over two years old.
I learned a lot.

In order to secure material for my note, I quickly took some pictures of Yoshinaki.
Recently, I've become a "note brain" that thinks "Oh, I can use this for note" even when I'm spending my private time... (What is "note brain"?)

Picture 14

I took a picture with Koharu!
Both of our faces are bright red ^^^.

I'm not a communicative person, but I like Ko Haru because she's always easy to talk to and fun to be around.

I was happy to talk with Kuninzu and SOL at the dinner party.
Image 15

At Seicomart, a convenience store in Hokkaido, I had an ice cream that looked like it was only available in Hokkaido! It was cold, but it was delicious!
It was really cold, but it was delicious! There's a kind of nourishment that you can only get from eating ice cream while saying "cold 〜〜〜〜".


The dinner party ended unexpectedly early, and I was lamenting about how sad I was to go to bed, when Mitsu-san (the high-spec beauty who took the Cheki photos and made the costumes) invited me to have a sweets party. When I was lamenting, Mitsu-san (the high-spec beautiful girl who takes Cheki photos and makes costumes) invited me to have a sweets party, so I was able to avoid loneliness.

I haven't had caramel corn in 500 million years.


The first day of the concert

It was the first day of our live in Hokkaido.
The venue was PENNY LANE24. Bigger venue than I thought it would be!

And I was surprised that there were more people there than I expected!
I was a little afraid that there wouldn't be too many people because the number of people who can come to Okinawa, Fukuoka, and other regional expeditions is limited. I was a little afraid that there wouldn't be many people, but I felt that there were more people in Hokkaido than anywhere else. Thank you for being so far away.


And compared to other regions, there were overwhelmingly more local people there!
They thanked us for coming all the way to Hokkaido, and told us that they always listen to our songs.
I was deeply moved by the fact that there were so many people who knew us even from far away.

On the first day of the concert, we wore blue ribbons and gold ribbons to make it look like we were in a snow country ❄.

We also added rhinestones on the edge of our eyes to make it even cuter! ✧
This stone was distributed by Saki to all the members.

Isn't it cute!


After the concert, we decided to go to a famous sushi restaurant in Hokkaido, so we didn't eat the catering lunch box for lunch in order to try the delicious sushi in the best condition (empty stomach). Serious about sushi.

Here it comes, Triton: ！！！！！

This one was in pretty much the best condition (super hungry), having not eaten anything since lunch.
I'm going to enjoy a lot of delicious sushi. 、、、、！！！！！

I was so excited when I entered the restaurant.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

............?

...... I'm going to wait an hour with this hunger. ............?

I'm dying. ......


However, we had no choice but to wait, so we all waited in the car.
Normally an hour goes by so fast, but at times like this or during muscle training, every minute and hour is really long.

After waiting for exactly one hour, we finally entered the restaurant.

It's sushi from Hokkaido: 〜〜〜〜〜〜！！！！！

Everything was delicious, but I personally enjoyed the sanma the most. It seemed to be in season. I don't usually order this kind of sushi, but this was a good opportunity for me to order it more often. I might be disappointed if I compare it to the taste of Hokkaido.

Also, all the members ate a lot of Imo-mochi. I think we ordered about 10 plates of Imo Mochi alone. It was delicious. If you go to Triton, please try the sweet potato mochi.

After a full meal, we headed back to the hotel, thanks to Mr. P. for the food.
And this is the ridiculously large rental car that I've heard so much about, it can hold about 10 people. It's about the size of a shuttle bus.

After Triton, we all gathered in our room and watched the scary movie while eating ice cream!

I wonder if the white Black Thunder ice cream was only available in Hokkaido? I like both Black Thunder ice cream and white chocolate, so this ice cream was a complete win-win for me.

The scary Akifosakikino screamed at every scary scene, and the scary Konomi was surprised not by the main story but by our voices.
I'm scared, but I love scary things and I watch them.

As expected, I got scared and couldn't go into the shower by myself, so I asked Konomi to wait for me in my room. The door is completely closed, so it doesn't make any difference whether she's there or not, but just the fact that someone is in the room makes me feel less scared.

Nevertheless, she said, "I've got something to give to the staff, so I'll go give it to Kinochan while she's in the shower. I wanted to be reassured by the fact that Konomi was in the room, but she tried to leave the room. ！！！！！

So I said.
So I said, "You can go if you want, but make sure I don't know that you left. You can go, but make sure I don't know you're gone, because even if you are, if I don't know you're gone, it doesn't mean you're gone..."
I decided to put the situation to rest by putting forth the theory of Schrodinger's Konomi, not Schrodinger's cat.

However, I was still worried about when Konomi would leave while I was in the shower, and I was scared after all. If you're that scared, don't watch Honkoku. That's right.


After getting out of the bath safely, Konomi wanted a Hokkaido limited edition sour, so I went to the convenience store to look for it.

I went to the convenience store, but couldn't find any. I bought a Twisted Chocolate Egg instead. Let's open the package together! But we couldn't do it after all.
By the way, I haven't opened the package yet. I wonder if Konomi has already opened it... I should open it too...
Choco Eggs

It's nice to go to a convenience store late at night, isn't it? There are no convenience stores within walking distance around my parents' house (in the countryside), so I'm longing for the act of going to a convenience store late at night. I do it every time I go on an expedition. There are always convenience stores around the hotels, right? It's amazing!

On the way to the convenience store, I found a statue of a dog. According to Konomi, it's a Borzoi. Really?

I took this picture with the intention of tweeting, "Another day, another Borzoi! I took this picture with the intention of tweeting "Good luck today, Borzoi! You can use it if you want. I waive the copyright.


This is my favorite outfit. I love this outfit.


✳︎ Second day of the concert

After a good night's sleep, it's the second day of the concert! There were two shows today, so I was excited to meet a lot of people... I entered the venue.

Then Norimichan from SOL brought me some famous Hokkaido sweets...! handsome!

It was so delicious! Rimi-chan is from Hokkaido, so she had prepared some of her favorite Hokkaido sweets for us. She's a good girl...

Oh, and here's Kyou's outfit.

I was watching JOKER while I was getting ready. It was an indescribable story... I'm rather on the side of sympathizing with Joker.

There was a little time in between the first and second parts, so we all went out to get some ice cream!

Koharu and Honitan (ˊo̴̷̤̫ o̴̷̤ˋ)
Honitan told us many stories about Hokkaido!

Here's a shot of Emiri getting picked up by Urumu.
All the members of the Kuninzumi family are so cute and friendly...smiling!

After a 10-minute walk, we arrived at this Maruyama Gelato shop.

It's a small store, but a large group of SOLs, Kinkinzukorokororu, and I pushed our way in.

The gelato seems to be made with milk produced in Hokkaido, and it was really thick and delicious.


There were not only the standard milk, green tea, and strawberry flavors, but also Hokkaido's typical flavors such as corn and salted caramel butter, as well as more unusual flavors such as buckwheat, plum, and mugwort.

I chose pistachio, pumpkin, and milk.
I thought I wouldn't get milk because it was too standard, but so many people asked for milk. Or am I wrong? So, I ordered it.
From the front, milk, pistachio, and pumpkin.


The waitress said, "You are waiting for pistachio, pumpkin, and milk.
Yuuri and I said, "Yes!

I didn't expect to end up with the exact same combination as Yuri-chan (lol).

I think it's quite a probability to get all three out of 21 flavors. It's amazing. If you ask me to calculate the probability, I can't do it because I'm a girl with a 3 in math... but if you're smart and have time, I'll do the rest.


After recharging our batteries with delicious gelato, it was time for our last show in Hokkaido!

The second part was a butterfly-raising dango.
The second part was a butterfly-raising dango!

I was so happy to meet so many people, thank you~! I'll be back!


After the concert, all the idols went out to eat with "Undecided" from Hokkaido. ！！！！！

After the concert, we all went out to eat with "Undecided" from Hokkaido.
I'd be happy if we could do another live together as local idols.

I also had a chance to talk with Kyoumi-chan from SOL! I can't get enough of her naturalness, her softness, and her mysteriousness. She's like a more natural version of Love Live's Kayochin... (?)

I've been given the opportunity to go out to dinner with various idols, so I hope I can make friends with many of them.
I'm an introverted person who loves to be alone, but I'm the type of person who wants to get to know the idols I like. ...... At events like this, I have more courage to talk to them than usual.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. I don't think I'd be able to talk to someone I don't have anything in common with. Even if I went back to work at a 7-Eleven or a pork cutlet restaurant, I don't think I could get along with them.

But I'm not a 7-Eleven worker anymore... I'm an idol... This is my Other Sky... (A person who has never made friends at any of her past workplaces) (The hall staff at the pork cutlet restaurant are having a good time without me. (The person who was carrying the pork cutlets in the hall without me) (You can read the details in the note)


The morning of the third day

The concert is over, but Korochanzu's Hokkaido is still to come: ！！！！

We had many ideas, such as going to Rokkatei's main store to eat ice cream only available at the main store, or going to a farm to eat milk soft serve, but the plan to go to the market to eat fish won out.

Here we are, Nijo Market: ！！！！！！！！！ Let's eat fish: 〜〜〜〜！！！！！！！

...but no sooner had we arrived at the market than the cab driver said to us

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that you like.

No, you should have told us when you told us where you were going. ！！！！！！！！！！！

We changed cabs and went to the market recommended by the locals.
This time, I'm going to let you eat... delicious fish!

When we arrived at the market, a tout caught us and took us in. And everyone buys crabs. That's Choro-chans. (It was a very nice store.)

We got some salmon roe...

We were given crabs.
Crabs are so delicious! I liked the snow crab better than the king crab.


For lunch, we had crab soup and sashimi! I knew the fish from Hokkaido was totally different, it was so delicious ( ;) ).

I really wanted to have a seafood bowl or something, but I was really sick at that time, so I could only eat one shrimp sashimi and one scallop sashimi... (Saki ate most of them)

(Saki ate most of it.) This is the only thing I regret about Hokkaido, so I'll definitely go back for more! Next time, I want to visit Hakodate and have a fish festival!


After a short nap at the restaurant, I was feeling much better, so don't worry, we all ate melon after dinner! All I do is eat! Wahaha ！！！！
Korochans staring at the melon

Pana-san bought them for all of us! (Let's take a picture before we eat it.)

I don't like melons at all, but this melon was so delicious...! Everything from Hokkaido is delicious. This place is... the best of Hokkaido. ！！！！！

I'm not sure what to make of this. I love melons, don't I?


This is a very cute little kitten: ！！！！ I couldn't help but run up to the owner at the entrance of the store, where he was taking care of her. I even got to hold her in my arms.


Cabbage big: ！！！！

Octopus: ！！！！

I bought two octopus legs ^^^🎶 Kinochan loves octopus so much. I like sea bream, octopus, engawa, salmon, and eel.
Oysters, my guess.
Pana-san in the reflection
I hid it because everyone was wearing no makeup.

I'm going to eat them. ！！！！

I would have preferred raw oysters, but I was afraid of getting hit, so I went with grilled oysters. I regretted it the whole time until I ate it, but when I ate it, my regret disappeared in an instant. But after I ate them, my regret instantly disappeared because they were so delicious. Hokkaido, the food is just too strong. The oysters were also really good.

We left the market after a short but enjoyable time. See you later, big crabs!


We went back to the hotel to pick up our luggage and headed to the airport.

Arrived at the airport!
HOKKAIDO LOVE! I completely agree.

I totally agree. I'm eating so much ！！！！！！

By the way, we also had ramen after this. We shared one with everyone, just to be on the safe side!



P-san getting caught in the inspection again. It's so funny.
The Korokoru camp tends to get caught both on the way to and from the airport.

We took off with a regretful feeling. Goodbye Hokkaido.


Thank you to everyone who came to see us from so far away, and to the local people!
I hope all the expedition members had a good time doing something unique to Hokkaido other than performing. We hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did.

I wish I could go to various places with various Kolokol again and make lots of memories with everyone ^^ Where should I go next?


Thinking about the next expedition...
So long!
