Starting in October of this year, we started the "Hoya Boya National Stage Caravan"★First of all, we went to two festivals: the Meguro Citizens' Festival and the Edogawa Citizens' Festival!

It was our first stage performance since the start of the caravan, so I was nervous behind the stage with the SCK GIRLS who came with us from Kesennuma, wondering if everyone would dance along! But I was so happy that all the Hoya Friends came to support us!

It was fun dancing together~♪
From now on, I would like to perform on many more stages and dance with all the Hoya Friends from all over the country!

Right now, there's an event I'm asking adults if it's okay for me to go to, so I'm going to be a good boy every day so that they'll say yes~♪

This week is the Hoya Boya Festival★I'm looking forward to meeting all the Hoya Friends!

Thank you everyone for your many donations this year!
Yesterday, we held a "Annual Renewal Competition" where you could win a present from me!

The reason for the death was...

Thank you to all the Hoya Friends who sent me this annual gift!
Congratulations on your graduation!

The present will be placed in a "special box" ♪
It should arrive at your home soon, so look forward to it!

Sorry to keep you waiting everyone!
I've finished listening to everyone's responses to the annual meeting!

What kind of message will you receive? Look forward to it!
I'm on my way to the post office now!

In Kesennuma, in the morning, when I go to sleep, I feel like I'm shaking.
It's getting cold! Is everyone out and about?

The other day, Section Chief Musubimaru came over to play!
It was so much fun playing with it for the first time in a while!
Section Chief Musubimaru has a nickname "Kacchuu"
It's really cool!
He said he loves saury! I love it too!

All the Hoya Friends who came to see me
He said it was cool and I felt a little embarrassed.
I ended up hiding, but I was really happy.

Also, on the 17th, I went to Loft and Hands in Sendai.
When I went to play, all the Hoya Friends came.
It was a really fun day★Thank you everyone♪

In December, I won the rock-paper-scissors tournament at Atage Hoya Boya.
We'll be visiting friends and having a Christmas party on the 8th!

I want to have a fun Christmas with everyone♪ I'll be waiting!

How are you all?

May, how was everyone's month?
I've met a lot of friends and made new friends...
It was such a wonderful month!

There was a lot of yellow this month~★

During Golden Week, we went to celebrate Vegatta-kun's birthday again this year!
I gave him my goods as a present, and he attached it to the bag he always carries, which made me really happy♪
And then, we all danced to "ALL HOYA FRIENDS!" on the huge pitch!
All the supporters danced with me and I had so much fun♪

And the next day, I heard that my friend Rikako Sasaki's group, Angerme, would be performing at Kesennuma Civic Hall, so I quickly prepared a bouquet of sunflowers and headed out to the town to celebrate!
When I went to "Naiwan" where SCKGIRLS was exhibiting, many friends approached me and said "Let's take pictures together!"♪
I tried out a lot of cool poses and cute poses in my own way, but what do you think?

It was also nice that everyone showed me their merchandise when we were taking photos!
We're all "Hoya Friends"★

This day, it was difficult for me to go to Kesennuma Civic Hall, so instead, I had my friends in Kesennuma give me presents from me.
Then, I saw that my funny story was on Angerme's blog, and that made me happy too~♪

But I forgot to ask for a bunch of sunflowers as well.

I was thinking that it would be nice to give it to Rikako-san somewhere,
Next day,

I made it happen~♪

Apparently he happened to be visiting Kesennuma for photography work!
It was really good!

We had fun walking together near the sea.

Welcome back, Rikako!
I'm also cheering on Rikako from Kesennuma as she works hard towards her new dream!

This year we received 2,426 applications, the most ever!
Thank you everyone!

They took pictures of me along with my portrait and merchandise, and even friends who pretended to be me!
There were so many different age groups, it was fun~♪
I was also very happy to receive such warm messages of encouragement★　
I'll work hard this year too for everyone's sake!

Today is finally the day of the midyear war.
A "special box" filled with presents from me will be delivered to your home for all 10 friends★

I'm curious to know what the outcome will be...?

Shazam! !

Congratulations to everyone who participated!
Please look forward to receiving your present!

From here on, I'll answer some of the questions you wrote in your message★
Q: What kind of year was last year for Hoya Boya?
A: I was so happy to be able to visit everyone so many times!

Q: When is Hoya Boya's birthday?
A: My birthday is in July! I hope you remember that!

Q: Is Hoyaboya's Sanma Sword strong? If so, please let me know!
A: ...Would you like to try it? Look forward to it next time you come across it★

To all the "Hoya Friends", let's have lots of fun this year too ♪

Happy New Year everyone! The weather was very nice in Kesennuma today.

Today, I delivered everyone's responses to the "appointments" to the post office!
Be excited to see what kind of design will be announced this year!

This weekend we're planning a trip to Shizuoka Prefecture!
I wonder if I'll be able to meet the friend who gave me the wish...?
I hope I can have lots of fun things with everyone in 2024 too★

How are you all?
Something good happened to me the other day, so I'll tell you all about it!

We danced together with the people of Kesennuma and the people from Tohoku to the song "Let's warm up in Tohoku"♪
Apparently NHK is currently running a program to support Tohoku Hot Springs!
I'm excited to see how it will appear on TV!
I love dancing, so it was fun dancing with everyone!

By the way, the hot springs in Kesennuma have salt in the water, so when you go in, your body starts floating like an ocean!
...Did everyone know?

And on this day I had my first conversation with Iginari Tohoku San, who came to Kesennuma!
I gave them some stickers as a token of our friendship and they were so happy!
Thank you, Yoshise Shinju, Kita Minami, and Sakura Hinano!
I hope we can meet again ♪
Next time, come and play with all our members at Sansan!

It's Raitsuki Minato Festival!
I'm really looking forward to the "Hamarainyaodori" for the first time in four years!

Check it out!


There was a car running around with the design of me playing driver!

Apparently, Kesennuma is currently taking on the challenge of "demand traffic."

This is a service that allows people who don't have a car to go out with ease by having this car come and pick them up near their homes.
That's wonderful!


A very kind driver gave me a ride in the car!
There's a handrail inside the car so even grandparents can ride in it safely.

There are also illustrations of me on the bus stops, so if you see them, take a picture!

We received some great photos from the Vegalta Sendai staff!

On May 5rd, there was a birthday party to celebrate Vegatta-kun.
Vega-kun came to Kesennuma last time, so this time I went to Yurtec Stadium.
We all danced to "ALL HOYA FRIENDS!" to make it a fun birthday party!
It was my first time dancing in Sendai so I was a bit nervous, but it was fun performing with everyone!

After that, I also took on the challenge of being a "presenter" on the pitch, presenting and handing over a present to Vegatta!
What I handed over was a year's supply of sea squirts from the Japan Sea Squirt Association.
Vegatta's favorite food is sea squirt!
By the way, I gave him some sea squirt curry that I brought from Kesennuma as a present♪
I wonder if Vegatta-kun ate it...?

I hope Vegatta-kun has a wonderful first year!
I'd be happy if we could play together again!

The other day, a staff member took me to Sendai and I got to meet everyone from Angerme★
I'm glad I was able to say "thank you" repeatedly for having hair shaped like mine and wearing socks like mine during live performances!

I was happy that they were happy with the souvenirs too~♪
Angerme, big love!

I went to hang out with Oga-Tre-san at the ARABAKI ROCK FEST.23 event!
Both the artists and staff were so kind to me, I was so happy!
Thank you to all the Hoya Friends for all your support!

Tada! What do you think?
When I saw the cool guy performing on stage, I wanted to imitate him too.

Vegatta came to Kesennuma to play! I promised him that I'll come to play next time♪ Vegatta is the president of the Japan Sea Squirt Association! I'd love to join them too★

Ta-da! I went to the park in Kesennuma where my face is♪ It's big, isn't it? I'm hiding in various places in Kesennuma★ How many can you all find? ?

I went to visit my friend in Yamamoto Town who won the rock-paper-scissors tournament at "Atage Hoya Boya 2022"! We swung on the swings together and had a lot of fun♪ I'll be posting a video on February XNUMXth! Everyone, please wait for it★

This year, I was really happy to receive New Year's cards from everyone in Japan. Thank you everyone! There are so many wonderful illustrations and messages, so I'm holding an exhibition so that everyone can see them. It'll warm your heart.

I took a video of Oga-Tre, a popular YouTuber from Kesennuma, stretching. Oh, what's this photo? My body feels so stretched, I want to relax! Everyone, please try stretching with me.

Christmas is coming soon! My friend drew a picture of me on an ornament, so I was so happy that I put it up on the tree★Let's have a wonderful Christmas♪

I went to the Meguro Sanma Festival. I met my friend Kabotan for the first time in a while and it was so much fun.

Rikako Sasaki, a member of the idol group "Angerme" that everyone looks up to and an ambassador for Kesennuma Minato, pretended to be me★It seems like she even got some of my goods! I'm so happy♪

I went to a big surfing contest at Koizumi Beach in Motoyoshi, Kesennuma. The scenery is really beautiful, and it seems like you can also have a surfing experience there normally!

Yay, I did the "Hoya Boya Dance" with my friends in Kesennuma. It's going to be broadcast on NHK from October to March! I'm looking forward to it.

At this year's Kesennuma Minato Festival, everyone made an illumination gate in my shape★It was really pretty♪

I went to Morland with Section Chief Musubimaru! It was fun!

Singer-songwriter and Kesennuma Minato Ambassador Ikumi Kumagai came to visit us! Ikumi's singing voice is so beautiful!

Popular Kesennuma YouTuber Oga-Tre has captured 100 subscribers! I thought, "I can do it too!" so I tried to imitate his "Ashi-Paka" video, but it might still be difficult for me...

Today, I went to visit my friend who lives in Ichinoseki city for Valentine's Day! I was happy that he enjoyed it. You can watch the "Valentine's Day" event on YouTube!

"Fisheries Information Center" in Kesennuma Fish Market. "Swordfish Ryo" is very cool, isn't it? There were many photo spots, so it was fun.
