Vaccination — Sugisaki Nene (01/12/2010)

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION - PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL DIARY POST HERE

Vaccination
Hello! It's Nene ♪
Today, one of Nene's disliked things, vaccination
The other day, I went to receive vaccination against influenza
Nene doesn't like injections since the time she was small
Even just looking at the injection needle made me cry
I told the woman "I'm a sixth-grader now so I'm not going to cry", but unfortunately I struggled even during sterilization
But finishing the procedure wasn't such a big deal
However, after that I'll have to get vaccinated one more time...(cri)
Everyone! Do you also dislike injections? Or are they okay?
Ah! Everyone, please beware of influenza. 🍀

予防注射
こんにちは ねねです
今日は、ねねの二ガテなことの１つ注射です
先日、インフルエンザの予防接種を受けに行きました
ねねは小さいころから注射が大キライです。
注射の針をみるだけでも泣きろうです。。。
女には「６年生なんだから泣かないようにね」と言ねれましたが、消毒をうでにしただけで少しあばれてしまいました
でも終れば大したことなかったです
でも、あと１回うけなければいけないんです...（泣）
みなさん！注射は二ガテですか？大丈夫ですか？
あっ！！！あと、みなさん、インフルエンザには気を付けて下さいねー

Following is one of the poems from Hyakunin Isshu 1
 
Eight-fold cherry flowers
That at Nara--ancient seat
Of our state--have bloomed,

In our nine-fold palace court
Shed their sweet perfume today.

1 day left
At last, the long-awaited School Festival will take place tomorrow \(^0^)/
Everyone, are you ready to enjoy it to the fullest?
Tomorrow, I would like to make the out-of-the-season sakuras bloom fully together with everyone
Please support us!!
Mutō Ayami

Notes
1- Hyakunin Isshu is probably the most famous Japanese collection of poems, Sakura Gakuin even has a song with lyrics taken from these poems. Learn more about it here or read the poems in kanji/romaji/English here.

It's Horiuchi Marina 👧
Only 5 days remain until our live performance ♪
Today is November 23, Labor Thanksgiving Day. 1
Everyone, students and workers, thank you for your hard work 💓 2
Since it's getting colder, haven't you caught cold?
In order to make the spirit pleasantly warm, Sakura Gakuin will do their best!! 3
Towards November 28's 2010 ✬ Sakura Gakuin Festival, let's go! 4
 

Translated by The Rado

Notes
1- Learn more about this Japanese national holiday on Wikipedia.
2- おつかれさまです or "otsukaresama desu" is a basic Japanese phrase often even used as a formal greeting, it simply means to express gratitude for hard work towards the person being greeted.
3- In other way, this can be translated as "in order to make your heart feel pleasant warmth" or such, you get the idea. It's nice that this is where Marina's thoughts lead her after talking about cold weather. 
4- Similarly to a previous countdown post by Moa, Marina uses number five which is most often pronounced as "go".

6 days remain until 2010 Sakura Gakuin Festival 💕
There are some difficult lyrics in Baton Club's song "Dear Mr. Socrates"
I couldn't understand some words' meanings at all so I tried looking them up in a dictionary
Then, it felt so interesting that I tried looking up four-character idioms to describe the feeling of working hard towards success at Sakura Gakuin Festival 1
"愚公移山" 🌸 2
I believe that if we put in effort, the festival will be a success ✩
We will all do our best to make it fun so please support us

Translated by The Rado

Notes
1- Japanese four-character idioms (四字熟語; yojijukugo) can be found here. However, I didn't find Rau's idiom there, most likely because it's of Chinese origin.
2- The idiom "愚公移山" comes from a beautiful story about a man who was determined to move a mountain which blocked the way to his family home. Read more here.

努力すれば成功するだろうです。

7 days remain until ✩ 2010 Sakura Gakuin Festival 🌸
I hope that everyone in the venue will smile along with Nene ♪ 
On the day of the festival, let's all enjoy our performance to the fullest together
I'm sure it will be fun 1
It was Nene 😺2

Translated by The Rado

Notes
1- Nene used a phrase "しかたがない" (shikata ga nai) which is kind of infamous for its meaning "it can't be helped", "nothing can be done about that" when used when expressing negative feeling towards something. Googling it can lead you to various interesting articles on the issue.
2- To see a very very kawaii artwork of a cat turned into a signature of Nene, see the original diary linked to above.

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION - PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL DIARY POST HERE

9 days left! 💕🌠
Moa was thinking that she should try to use the number 9 writing her countdown diary since she's charge of the one that would be released 9 days before the festival 1
Moa, a member of the cute Sakura Gakuin, will do her best in singing and dancing
I have suddenly grown a lot (Lol) Have I really? (Lol) 🎤
During hard times, I could still do my best only thanks to my friends who were always there for me
Come and see the big-and-round-eyed Moa please 💕
Be careful when you come! I'll be waiting for you!
I'm excited and thrilled
It was Moa 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Translated by The Rado

Notes
1- As you can see in the Kanji transcript below, Moa really put the number 9 to good use here. 9 can be read as "kyuu" or "ku" just like characters put in front of brackets in the transcript. Scroll down under the transcript to find a much more scientific yet understandable explanation from Reddit.

RELAY — Horiuchi Marina (17/11/2010)

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION - PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL DIARY POST HERE 

RELAY
Hello everyone! 
It's Horiuchi Marina! 💕
The other day, we had sports day (at school) 1
I was chosen to represent in relay running. 
Of the 400m race, each person ran 100 metres.
I was the first leg runner. 2
Before running, I fastened the magic tape on my shoes tightly, and then I ran with all my heart. 3
My last relay in elementary school. 4
In the end, we finished second!
We came so close, but unfortunately didn't win. However, I had a good feeling because I gave it my best. 5
I love running.
Everyone, do you like running?
Marina

Translated by The Rado

Notes
0- Marina's running skills were later mentioned and praised in an episode of Night of Spica.
1- She doesn't mention it, but it presumably happened at her elementary school.
2- Expression トップバッター as in top batter is used here. It actually is a waisei-eigo used in baseball for the batter that starts the match/game/whatever it's called in that sport.
3- Don't worry, magic tape (マジックテープ) isn't one of Marina's inventions, it's just the name under which velcro is marketed in Japan.
4- Marina was in her final year of elementary school during her first year in Sakura Gakuin.
5- Explanation for the first sentence can be found here. Please let me know if you find a less painful way to translate it.

INJECTION — Satō Hinata (15/11/2010)

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION - PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL DIARY POST HERE 

INFLUENZA 🏥 
Everyooooooone 💦
The flu season has come this year too 😣
Even though Hinata is not good at it, I went to get vaccinated 😥 1
(I wanna do my best live) 2
Isn't there something like a painless injection? 💀
Moreover, children have to go get vaccinated twice 😪
Ah--the hospital doctor looks like a devil to me 3
(In reality, he/she is a really good doctor (lol)) 
Everyone, don't forget to gargle ⛾ and wash your hands 💕
Hinata 💗 

*コワイ=kowai=scary

Translated by The Rado

Notes
1- She's "not good at it" as in she "doesn't like doing so".
2- If she gets flu she won't be able to do her best in live concerts, I suppose that's what she means by ライブ.
3- 先生 is one of the ways to refer to a doctor, it doesn't only mean a teacher. (Thank you for correction.)

The Great Hengao Presentation — Kikuchi Moa (14/11/2010)

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION - PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL DIARY POST HERE 

Moa's cell phone has a personal alarm installed in it. 1
It's a phone for children.📱 2
I take photos often with this phone. 
I especially like to take hengao pictures with it.💕 3
(Both of my friends and myself.) 
Today I'll show you my favorite hengao photos that I've taken so far.💕
One day Moa would love to open my personal hengao photography exhibition. 
From now on I'll be taking a lot of photos of hengaos of everyone in Sakura Gakuin.💕
Is that impossible?
Ufufu lol 4

Translated by The Rado with corrections by the SG Reddit community (thank you)

Notes

1- I'm honestly wondering why she's mentioning it, maybe cause otherwise she wouldn't even have a cell phone?
2- I had no idea this was thing, but apparently it is.
3- Most SG and BM fans know, but if you don't, "hengao" means "funny face".
4- Ufufu is a kawaii way to say "lol".

YAMAGATA — Satō Hinata (26/07/2010)

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION - PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL DIARY POST HERE

Long time no see. It's Hinata!!
On the weekend, I visited Yamagata with my family.
We got slowly refreshed in Zaō Onsen. 1
The food was also really delicious. 💕
Everyone, do you know cold ramen?? 2
It is very popular in Yamagata!!
Afterwards, we had cherry ball konjac.🍒 3
I also ate yubeshi with walnuts and mochi. 4
Ah, I'm talking about nothing but food. (Lol) !!!
However, I really wanted to recommend all these foods.
It was Hinata.
See you! 💗

Translated by The Rado

Notes

1- Zaō Onsen is a spa on the outskirts of the city of Yamagata. It takes its name from the local highest mountain, Mount Zaō. More
2- "Hiyashi" ramen is often translated as cold ramen, other times as chilled ramen. I think the latter is more accurate after looking up some recipes, but it doesn't really matter as you get the message anyways. Photo
3- This one took some research. I concluded that this is the thing she means and also found out in Yamagata's tourist areas these are sold on the street like hot dogs in America. Konjac itself appears to be something well.. I can't imagine the taste of it.
4- See more about yubeshi here and about mochi here. Especially the latter is quite common.
