Memory: Slice of life career success on Galaxy (pre-canon; blog+headcanon)
Day won: 22
Game runner: Odette
Form: plain cloth mask in your team color (white for Sterling, black for Onyx). Put it on to get the memory

This memory is a load of slice-of-life snippets from ~October 2058 to March 2059 covering a period when Sheryl is popular and being a ridiculous celebrity on Galaxy (she's been a hit since at least 2057 when her third album dropped). Late October/early November 2058 is when her single “Sagittarius 9PM Don’t Be Late” drops and she starts breaking records (also her fanbase splits over "people who liked her before it came out" and "people who liked her after" lol). Generallyyyyyy her time in this period is spent doing a lot of singing, recording, odd promotional events, and blogging about her weirder exploits:

- She went to a furniture showroom and found a bathtub with black cat feet for legs, bought it, and couldn’t get it through her door.
- She doesn’t like people leaving jerk comments on her blog.
- “I’m awesome” -- she finished Iteza Gogo Kuji Don’t Be Late sometime in October of 2058.
- She helps design a part of a wedding dress collection? (“I pray that a man that I would willingly wear this special dress for appears.”)
- She recorded Don’t Be Late sometime between October and November in a beautiful studio on the highest place in Galaxy where you can “sing while feeling the power of the sky.” There are nice photos there.
- She’s not interested in school
- She had a boring interview and can cook, and she thinks the stereotype that pretty girls can’t cook is only true about girls from years’ old anime.
- A staff member lost her favorite shoes.
- She went to a nice Christmas party with real fish and wore a pretty dress.
- She writes a completely inarticulate blog entry.
- She had an interview that asked “how do you look when you sleep?” and she looks like a 大character when she sleeps.
- She blogs about the first time she fell in love…
- She did capoeira (Brazilian martial arts with dance/acrobatics/music elements) and enjoyed it. She feels invincible. “Come at me, brosis.”
- She hates vague colored underwear like white and baby blue! Girls who don’t wear matching bras and panties will never find love! Make up your mind and be an adult!
- People ask her how to get better at singing a lot but they should just sing without thinking.
- She hates “petite” things like petite poodles or tiny lunches. Things that are supposed to be cute are okay though.
- She ordered special cows because she likes them over rice.
- She blogs about going to a musical she loved, even though she usually doesn’t like those things.
- She did acupuncture and wasn’t impressed.

Title: Right now I'm wearing...

She's wearing black and pink since these are colors you can relax in and they can stimulate. She recently went to a showroom on her time off and found the coolest bathtub that had black cat feet for legs. She was really taken with it, but when she got it home it wouldn't fit through the doorway to the bathroom. There's nothing for her to do but to move.

Title: Lately

This one seems to be directed towards a certain person and goes on to say that there's no need for feedback comments since Sheryl is herself and the other person is the other person. She suggests that the person should let her know about what he is feeling if they should ever meet. She's also not very hotheaded when discussing her opinion (according to her).
(I didn't really get this one. I guess someone left her a less than flattering message about something.)

Title: I'm awesome.

I finally understood this today.

I'm awesome.

I finished a great song.

I sang a great song.

I brought forth the me of now through my lips,
it feels so nice that it seems as if my entire body has been turned inside out.

This is why I cannot stop singing!!

I want it too floor everyone's brains already. (I'm not sure about this since the corruption gives me a snowman and a skull and crossbones symbol)

Because worries, uncertainty, tears, and pain are taken along for the ride.

Don't be late☆

Title: I was very into it.

Did everyone see it?

The "Kiddy Lady Gal" auteur collection.

This time it was a wedding theme.

I only designed one of the final details, but I was very into it, wasn't I?

It was absolutely perfect.
The theme was the sound of dance.

Song,
the beating of a person's heart,
a kiss,
the words
"I love you,"

they all carry the sound of dance.

The dress brings the universe's most joyous sound to the ears of the women who wears it and allows it to reverberate for eternity.

-unreadable-

I pray that a man that I would willingly wear this special dress for appears.

Title: Of course

She starts off by asking if people have gotten her latest single yet since it'll allow them to listen to her songs whenever they want. She then tells the story of how the single was recorded. It was recorded at Q-Dream-St, which is located on the highest place on Galaxy. The ceiling is transparent so you can "sing while feeling the power of the sky". There are also pictures being taken of the "Three Shone" (no idea what this is) in the studio by Ryu, a photographer. These wonderful pictures help to stimulate her voice's imagination. She specifically asked for Ryu and gave him a copy of the single, but he already had five of them. It seems that even someone as untalkative as him was impressed with her singing. She ends by asking if there is anyone still reading the blog and says that if they had so much free time they should listen to her song already!

Title: Boring Interview

She starts off by wondering why such things exist then goes off on a tangent about food. It turns out that she can cook and makes a comment about how the stereotype that pretty girls can't cook are only true about girls from years old anime. "Who the hell do you think I am? I'm Sheryl Nome!" It ends with her wondering what she was first trying to say.

Title: You know what?

She starts of by saying something really shitty happened and brings up an old saying about how a girl's heart, and face become ugly when she is complaining. Of course her beauty is such that a little complaining will not harm it It seems one of her staff members lost a pair of her favorite shoes so she says she fired them and forced them to walk home naked. Of course she's kidding since that would be excessive even for her, but it's troublesome since she has to punish them somehow. She compares it to how a dog would bewildered if its owner doesn't punish it when it does something wrong. She only buys shoes from the finest cobbler on Galaxy since she has very delicate feet. If the shoes don't fit perfectly it is easy for her feet to get injured. She doesn't want that to happen when she's on stage since she wants to only concentrate on singing.

Title: I like Christmas.

I like Christmas.

Christmas Eve is nice too,
The day after Christmas, there is still some noise within your heart that leaves it ticklish, you see?

That is just irresistible.

This Christmas,
the underground aquarium at the SO 5 Hotel was reserved for the party.

I think you may know this already,
but almost all the fish are holograms.

But you know, this season it seems that another Macross fleet loaned them some "Manbou" for a limited time! (From the picture I guess manbou are sunfish.)

You have to see this!

Anyways, what a stupid looking face.

But it is quite a lovable face.

It understands itself.

By the way, the dress that I chose this year was a champagne gold mini. The brand is "Coffee Vinegar". (Excuse the terrible attempt at transcription.)

I am sent dresses from many designers every year,

but this year Coffee Vinegar was the most stylish.

Title: Do you know what I'm talking about?

Pale Cream.

Amontiriard.

Pedro Hinemez. (Please don't ask me about these, deciphering words from katakana has never been my strong point...)

Simply by decorating a room with gold (again this is from katakana, not kanji, so I'm not too sure about it being "gold") that seems to draw you in can blow all your unwanted feelings away.

Galaxy did not have any pure natural things, but do they exist somewhere in the galaxy?

That's right, the one I received as a present long ago was a cheap imitation.

Hehehe. (It's not actually this, but more of a mature feminine, under the breath laughter)

Do you know what I am talking about?

"Girls definitely want one Venetian Doll" is my favorite saying.

It is such a wonderful analogy, don't you think? Partners just have have this type of relationship.

(Ok she's got me, I have absolutely now idea what she's talking about...)

Title: How do you look when you sleep? (They are actually asking "What do you wear when you sleep?" but Sheryl interprets it as being this.)

During a recent magazine interview I was asked a really strange question.

How do you look when you sleep?

Strange. Don't you think?
Are you interested in how I look when I sleep?
Anyways,
I just laughed and said that I usually look like the 大 character when I sleep.
Do people not normally sleep this way? Like a 大 character that is.

Title: The day you first fell in love.

Do you remember the first time you fell in love?

I am not talking about who you fell in love with or the first place when you had a date.

Do you remember the emotions you felt?

I remember them even now.

It is as if a cold, pale cold radio tower were constructed around my heart in an instant.

That tower definitely caught the different emotions and words that I experienced at the time and those things play a huge role when I am writing a song, is what I think.

You have to fall in love.

Title: Kapuera

Have you ever done kapuera?

It's quite enjoyable.

It feels as if I am mastering something that a woman needs. (Hime learned this the hard way it seems)

Loosening up when it is needed,
tensing up when it is required.

Afterwards, your fighting spirit is awakened.

Uffufu, right now, I'm invincible.

Come at me however you want.

Title: Underwear

What is with this?
The color of underwear that guys like that is.

White, pink, light blue.

They like these vague colors?

I'll be blunt.

I absolutely hate vague colored underwear.
To the point that my emotions get constricted.

Also, a word of warning to girls.

Girls who wear haphazard underwear, both the top and bottom, will never encounter fine love no matter how long they wait.
Also,
what is the point of not deciding correctly?

Title: [How can I get better at singing?]

She talks about how she gets asked this quite often. She says that everyone is reborn when they sing since people aren't born with the ability to express themselves in any way other than crying. People should just sing without thinking about trifling things.

Title: Petite whatever...

Food, environmental conditions,

There are many different types of alergies, right?

Lately, I have come to understand that I have a "petite" alergy.

Understand? "Petite."

Petite tomatoes, petite cosmetic surgery, petite lunches, petite poodles...

Why "petite"? Why "a little"?

Why not just go the allllll the way!!!?

I can love finely detailed beautiful things, but I guess I should stop here with the negative thoughts.
Still, I can't accept things that are made "petite."

But, things that are originally "petite" are fine.

I welcome tiny, adorable things!

Take rice for instance, it's white and small and if you look at it closely it is almost like agate, so I feel it is incredibly cute. (Ok the メノウ and シマシマ kicked my ass in this. I would like to vocalize my incredible hate for all things katakana again.)

Title: Cows

Huge mail order success!

I heard from a gourmet idiot (in a good way) staff member that "KachiKochi cows are macho types" and you sprinkle it over rice. (OK I have absolutely no idea what the captioned part meant...)

It's awesomely good!

This is bad, I've already ordered another dozen!

...though some arrogant idiot (in a bad way) wrote a blog and caused the next shipment to be scheduled for January of 2060!!

Really, I can't help it anymore.

Are they trying to starve Sheryl Nome to death?

Title: Enough to make me shiver,

She talks about a singer from the 18th Macross fleet that went to Galaxy three years earlier. They did a musical program together and Sheryl has no interest in other artists, but she became interested in this woman. She first saw the singer in a magazine and could not forget her face as she stared straight at the camera. That's why she went to a musical that the woman performed in even though she doesn't like musicals. She always wants to shout "Why are you singing over there?" and actually did so once from the audience, thus arousing the anger of her manager. This musical, though, was wonderful, especially the singer's voice. She has never seen anyone who seemed to have a breeze blowing from their bodies before. And if there were more like this singer, it would troublesome for her. She met someone else like this though. This girl was adorable and had very direct eyes. When she met this girl it was as if a wind were blowing across her face. From the look in her eyes, the girl was definitely the perpetrator.

Title: Acupoints

I was introduced to the acupoints of the foot at the hotel salon I always go to!

I immediately tried it out.

Upon pressing on the bottom of my foot, the esthetician immediately commented, "You have a strong singing voice".

Isn't that obvious?
How often do they think I use it?

One more time.

The tip of the thumb cause a lot of pain.

When I asked, I was told that it was the "acupoint for the head".

I didn't realize it then, but
does that mean there is something wrong with my head? [it also means "does it mean I am stupid", but I don't think she actually wants to say this]

+ "I am so fucking famous"
+ "I can get away with so much crazy shit"
+ "I work so hard and I am awesome"
+ Positive experiences with Galaxy, which gives some context to the conversation about Galaxy being lost and Sheryl's faith in the fleet in her starter memory
+ In theory this memory should contain "Diamond Crevasse" and "Welcome to My Fanclub's Night" since apparently she performs them at every single concert, but /handwave, I'd rather have them make a big impact later.
+ Songs remembered: Pink Monsoon, Tenshi ni Nacchatta (her very first single!)
