I think I gotta resurrect this thread too.

I have a couple of questions for y'all. So when did you get into Morning Musume and what's your favorite MM single?

I got into MM back in 2002 when I saw a bunch of Ayaka's English Lessons with Rika. The funny thing is that I used to hate Morning Musume before I saw those videos :lol:

Since I'm a Rika-fan my favorite single has to be The Peace :yep:

Sometime in 2004. Can't remember when. That was when I went in deep though, I sorta-liked MM before that, too. So I guess i'm a new fan. Fav single? Manatsu no Kousen. Honorary mentions include LM, The Peace, and RR21 :lol:

Late 2004. Was downloading random stuff with DC++ and got The Peace! pv and a live of Go Girl in a batch of videos. Hooked.

Roman MDB's been my favourite since I first saw the pv.

Post by: Yasu on July 29, 2006, 06:34:10 PM
Late 2004, too. I started visiting a blog about J-Music, then I saw W stuff. Went looking for it, found MM.
My favorite single ever is The Peace, the one that got me addicted to them. After that, comes Koi no Dance SITE.

My sister had some MM files laying around her music files, and I really liked them (Renai Revolution 21 single... First song I listened to was Inspiration! :lol:), so I went on a hunt to find more stuff by them. I think this was around 2002?

Anyways~ my favorite single now is probably... Osaka Koi no Uta or The*Peace!

Post by: MyDearYossi on July 29, 2006, 07:50:10 PM
I found MoMusu in 2006. But I knew MiniMoni much more earlier and we had Love Machine and Sakura Mankai MP3 on our computer before we know MoMusu. First I and two of my sisters watched "English Lessons with Marippe". After that we found Hello Morning episodes and then I saw Mr. Moonlight PV. And the rest is historyXD
I guess that my favorite single is Roman ~My Dear Boy. But I can't really choose:heart:
Title: The Official Morning Musume Thread
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on July 29, 2006, 10:00:32 PM
I first got interested in Momusu in fall 2003, but I soon lost Internet so I was unable to get to know more. What I had on my own computer were basically about 5 Momusu songs and Koi no Dance Site PV for the whole winter. The only time I could see more of them was if I attacked the computer class at school (which I rarely did, but I faintly remember saving Konno's pics) and when I came here in Otanmäki for Christmas holiday. During that holiday I saw my first MM concert (Kei's grad).

HOWEVER, I count my hardcore fandomness to start in April 2004 which is when I graduated and was able to finally move to our new house with Internet and such. The moment I got Internet I knew I wanted to get to know MM better, so that's what I did. It still feels like a short time (even if I can't remember what life WITHOUT MM was like...) and I'm always surprised to find out someone's been a fan for a shorter time than me. But MM keeps dragging in more foreign fans, which is cool :D

I don't remember exactly  but that time there was already 4th gen. In the beginning I got a volleyball pic of MM and I used google to find out more about them and that time I coudn't find lot of links in english of MM.
Soon I got their concert videos and tapes recorded from TV for example Hello! Morning and learned to know them more

My fav. single is Souda! We're ALIVE.

lol, I got into morning musume and H!P in general, when some user i know on IRC was just going on about it, and i'm like wats the fuss? and then he took me thru a CRASH COURSE, showing me the 2005 lineup of H!P artists and telling me to pick one.  And he linked me to a wiki, a few trackers, and other good forums, and showed me the joys of hello! morning and I was hooked lol.

My fave single is Roman ~My Dear Boy~ which was also the first MM song i heard :D

I got into Momusu during the Do It! Now era. I saw them on the Heyx3 summer thing where they did a bunch of crazy summer things I didn't like the song at the time (though I love it now), but I thought Rika was really cute :P

my favorite singles are The Peace, RMDB, and RR21. it's hard for me to choose and absolute favorite.

A few months ago after watching the Bakajo test and some Utaban episodes. I used to hate Jpop so much but I really like it now! So much more diverse than western pop.

I love the new single too! the music kinda follows the mold of classical and metal music. awesome! tsunku should put killer guitar solos in all the songs!

Post by: twissie on August 03, 2006, 09:36:46 PM
I used to be scared of Morning Musume. They quite seriously frightened me. I used to be all about rock and punk and raaaawr, but then shirenu came along, kept posting about these ridiculously cute girls in her LJ, and I just decided that I'd read up on them and try not to be intimidated anymore.

She sent me that show where they are shown clips from Ringu, and I was hooked @_@; This was about a year ago + some months. First H!M I watched was the episode before Rika's graduation special (or something like that) so I got into MM at a really weird time. Mari just quit and Rika was graduating and I understood fuck all about both events XD

As for favourite song.. I don't know. I'm never able to pick out one favourite, I have several all depending on my mood.

Morning Musume is still my favourite H!P group, and I haven't ventured (far) out of the H!P world when it comes to j-pop, so yay for this thread. We needed one XD;;;

Post by: psymon on August 03, 2006, 10:19:12 PM
I dont know when i exactly started to listen to them.
But it startet somewhat in 2002 when my general interest for Japanese Music came up. Somewhere i found some Episodes from Ayakas surprise English Lessons. i thought it was really funny but i didnt know that this was H!P oder MM.
So sometime later i think i was reading on wikipedia i got somehow on the morning musume page. I read that there were so many members and i thought wow theyre freaks thats too many.

And so for sometime i didnt care for them. But then i downloaded an H!M episode out of curiosity. Here and then i watched an episode or something but my real interesd started somewhat in 2004. Since then im a H!P junk  and in love with yuu-chan :lol: XD :

Its an expensive Hobby, but its worth it:yay:

You did a good job! Come to think of it, you made me download one of Maki's PVs before H!P really got to me (before the Ringu show). You even made me some wallpapers with Maki on them, because I thought she was really cute XD;; Oh man.

It's easy to brainwash people into liking MM, though. I've converted a bunch of my friends as well 8] Muahahha.

As I posted on the introduction thread, I came across Morning Musume on the '98 Kouhaku, where they performed DAITE Hold on me! I liked the song and I started to look around, trying to find more things from that chicks, and followed them until, I think, the Nakazawa graduation, when I started to look for another things.

The years passed, and one day a friend lend me that wonderful CD that is Duo U&U, and, after listening it a zillion times, I looked for PVs on the net... and they were Aibon and Nono!!! On that second, I was officially back! :D

I think my fav single is Koi no Dance Site. It shows what Momusu should be about: energy, craziness, and, specially, happiness.

mmmm... a few years ago (maybe 2004) the first time i watched MM PV, joshi kashimashi monogatari. the clip and the rest of H!P clip was laying around in internet cafe's HD. But, at that time i wasn't attracted to MM, so i wasn't copying the clip. But it will be the most thing i always regret... :evil:  

at feb '06 for the second time i watched joshi kashimashi monogatari, i started fall in love with them .....

and the story goes .....

so, my fav single is joshi kashimashi monogatari :D

Is it me? or am I seeing some resemblances here?

although not exactly in small, intricate details but in a general fashion sense and style and feel, they do resemble MoMusu's Mikan style.  though their style seems more mature, since, of course i don't think it's costume like what Mikan meant to be... 

overall, i guess MoMusu style and popularity is spreading....  or the other way around depending on when that pics were taken..
but of course, in this world, people set trends and other follows.

3,2,1, Breakin' Out! as AX's theme song doesn't bode well for me. The song starts out promising, then the chorus hits, and I feel cheated. It's like they couldn't decide between a cool image and a cutesy one, so they tried do both, and we get this shallow feel-good thing. If I weren't a fan, I might even deem it worse than Disney's stuff. (3 times 3 times 2 is 18, which is R, which stands for RECYCLE, guys!  :doh:) If Tsunku was going to try and sway people over to the pop side, then he should have gone all the way and done something compelling for its sweetness like Mikan. Especially in the era where the anime that make it in America have either J-rock or hip hop themes, this needed to either go with the mainstream or sling so far on the side of pop that it makes its way around and becomes cool again, like K-pop has.(Gee...)

Then I saw the dance shot, and.... :angry: Where did the good choreographers go? They're dressed in street clothing, and then...simple junk. It screams 'wannabe', the kiss of death for getting respectable fans.
Come on, even songs about cake can have badass dances:
Mini Moni Okashi Tsukette Live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-Y3oYwmpkg#lq-hq)

2 seconds in with the jump split thing, and I'm hooked. Not to mention the "hoedown kicks" that T&C Bomber taught as a part of their Lock dance tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8k3-PU4Uk4#lq-hq).

Don't know if anyone else saw this, but here's the youtube link to MM's latest appearance on Music Fighter.
[Hyakupa] 8/22/09 Music Fighter - Morning Musume - Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArdBKiABMb4#ws-normal)

In general, Music Fighter has become one of my favorites in terms of their appearances because the girls genuinely seem to be having fun and their individual personalities really get to shine.  And it doesn't hurt that there are hilarious moments in them, even if there's a little bit of light-hearted wickedness under it all.

Beware:  there's polls involved and if people don't want spoilers, better watch the vid first before any responses.  :)

It's for the Ojigi de Shape Up stage play that they recently did. Remember the mini-drama last year where they (Aichan and the Rokkies) were waitresses at a restaurant? This is like a sequel to it and the other stage play they did.

And coincidentally enough, a rip of the DVD just recently popped up on H!O's tracker. :thumbsup

Sayu's hair is pretty nice.

DO YOU THINK THERE SHOULD BE AN AUDITION SOON? HOW MANY MEMBERS SHOULD THEY ADD??
Not really a fan of televised auditions because when a fan favorite doesn't get in, people start on hatin' the ones that get accepted. :(

If Tsunku thinks that the group needs new members he can always pick from the Eggs. Some of them are more than deserving to be given a break.

DO YOU THINK NEXT GEN WILL INCLUDE A KOREAN GIRL?
Whatever happened to the Korean girl who won in the auditions?

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT MOMUSU??
They will always be one of the more popular idol groups and I am eternally grateful to them because if I didn't discover Morning Musume, I wouldn't be in this forum right now.

Still hoping that they do an Asia tour someday. XD

When did you get into Morning Musume?

Okay this will be a long post! Gomen! Hopefully you'll read it 'til the end  :P

My first encounter with Morning Musume was in year 2000, there was this Jap-Fil cable channel that broadcasted Morning Musume's "Renai Revolution 21" every so often. My brother, cousin and I were astonished when we saw the PV - it's like wow! they are so many and they are all pretty, they have a creative/futuristic clothes and they have a cool song, but we didn't know them, so we just call it the "love revolution" song since it's one of the english words and it's in the chorus. We were always so happy everytime they played it on air. But that's it, we didn't have the chance to know them because internet connection was, in those days, scarce in our country and no one (if ever, only few) heard or knew something about J-Pop. The last time I saw their group was in the poster of a store near our high school. I still don't know their group's name.

So after we got our internet connection, I already forgot about them, I was already into PUFFY's music since it was always featured in one of the Japanese cable channel and I find their songs awesome. Then by 2007 I started to adore Chatmonchy, this is also the time when my cousin was playing "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari" over and over in his computer and told me that it's the same group we saw in the year 2000, he said they are called Morning Musume, which I eventually forget. I don't know why, but it doesn't interest me eventhough I find them cute and I observed that they have more members. I was wondering what happened to the other members, it's just kind of weird for me. Then he showed me the unit Mini Moni and said that 3 of the members are also from Morning Musume, I thought it's crazy creating a new unit if they're still part of an existing and active group.

One day in 2008 out of boredom and so much time in my hand I started browsing YouTube, I stumbled upon "Ai Araba IT'S ALL RIGHT" video, I watched it but I was so overwhelmed by the cuteness of the PV, that I didn't even finished it. Left me wondering, who's who in the video and it will be amazing if someone really does know all their names. So I've decided that it's not my cup of tea.

Then in early 2009 I saw "Anataboshi" by chance, I was so captivated by Koharu Kusumi that I tried to search about Milky Way, got her name and I was stunned because I found out that she's part of Morning Musume (that group just keeps on popping up). But my fangirling on Koharu needs to be ceased even before it started due to my work.

Lastly by September 2009, I saw a video of Yoshizawa Hitomi, it's from a H!M skit, it was so funny even without a subtitle. I was enchanted by her and everything just followed, like a 'Domino Effect'. I've become a total fan of Morning Musume until now, I enjoyed their music, their personality and everything about them, I started to watch their concerts, random clips, news and listen to their music online. Being their fan certainly does add spice to my life.

To the question I asked myself before: That it will be amazing if someone know all their names.... - Well... Oh Yeah!!!!!!  :)

They only made a cameo appearance for like 5 mins.  I don't think they'd allow them to participate in the madness of that show, cause that show is crazy

Two guys eating the entire menu of Baskin Robin's in 4 days?
Two guys eating an entire tuna (something like 500 lbs) in two weeks?

I saw Gal Sone was on once, but she's a competitive eater anyway.  This is more of a show for tarento than aidoru.

They only made a cameo appearance for like 5 mins.  I don't think they'd allow them to participate in the madness of that show, cause that show is crazy

Two guys eating the entire menu of Baskin Robin's in 4 days?
Two guys eating an entire tuna (something like 500 lbs) in two weeks?

I saw Gal Sone was on once, but she's a competitive eater anyway.  This is more of a show for tarento than aidoru.

Are you talking about Cocorico?

They were outdoors filming the dance shot. Apparently basketball might be involved. :lol: Currently I think they're indoors doing solo shots, so no more updates from either of them until either Reina or Sayu is done I guess. XD

Post by: shirenuファクトリー on July 17, 2010, 05:55:22 PM
Hey I actually have something to say about the whole Morning Musume :lol:

Ya know how before the Paris gig I had long been kinda bored with Momusu, didn't like their new songs etc. Isn't it weird how big of a difference it makes when you realize you've just had your ATTITUDE/EXPECTATIONS all wrong?!

I believe that the reason why I was bored with MM was that because my expectations was:
Morning Musume - the group that always shuffles members, graduating old ones and auditioning for new ones.
But the current Morning Musume - Aside from Koharu's graduation, the line-up has stayed the same for a very very long time!
The reason why I got bored was because I expected there to be changes when there wasn't any.
But current Morning Musume is an established line-up that should be treated as such.
THERE IS ACTUALLY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CURRENT MEMBERS. IN FACT, THE CURRENT LINE-UP IS PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME. ALL THESE GIRLS ARE LOVELY.
What I did wrong was impatiently wait for a new audition. Auditions are irrelevant, it's the now that matters. :lol:

And then the songs; I guess my expectation was that every song should be like, idk, Shabondama or Kanashimi Twilight, when those only come like once every 10 singles. I still hold on to my opinion that Naichau Kamo is one of the most boring, horrid MM singles, but the other recent ones are... actually kinda good. Especially Kimagure Princess, which I couldn't initially stand because of the voice change thing :D but it's now my crack. How couldn't I see how much fun this song is when it was released? And Shouganai Yume Oibito is le dramatic, and Mikan is like the most positive, awesomest song ever. There must've been something in my attitude and expectations preventing me from enjoying these songs before, but now I do. This is the type of music that Morning Musume NOW releases, and ain't there nothing wrong with that.

Experiencing the songs live made a huge difference, but even before that I'd suddenly started liking the songs once my expectations and attitude began to change. I dunno what the heck I was expecting from Morning Musume, must've been such a snobby asshole. IDK IDK :lol:

My point is that all this time there's nothing been wrong with Momusu itself, just possibly their management/promotion (as in the boring tv shows with food *stab stab*) and definitely my own attitude.

In sum:
Morning Musume is still great, just different!!! lol
Some wota said that MM is no longer idols, but artists, skilled entertainers - and I kind of have to agree with that. They're no longer 'improving' like, say, H!P Eggs... They already ARE :3 So what if they don't have a voice like Lady Gaga. They're still great performers.

And yeah. It's all in the ~perception~ or sth lol

@shirenu: Yeah, getting to see the current lineup live is one way to do a 180 on you feel about them. Like you mentioned, they're excellent performers, and their promotion (*coughUFAcough*) really doesn't showcase that as much as they really are. It's like the agency is still trying to push them as idols, but they've moved on from that, really. They're more like serious artistes now, with a greater focus on actual performance skillz, rather than prancing around acting cute (not that they can't do that, just that it's not all there is to them). Still, with all that history behind the name, it's hard to move on. The only real way is to really push them as they are, and not what people remember them to be. Sadly, we're not really getting that. :/

I've been out of the MM loop for a long time, but getting back into it I realise that I squirm a bit when I see that they still do weird silly catchphrases and cutesy things on stage. I know, they are idols and that's what idols do... xD But particularly for the older members, it just seems off for some reason. Like... they should have moved past that now.

Like shirenu said, they are great performers, and MM is a well-established group, it would be great to see them act as artists and not just cutesy idols xD;

I don't know, just something I've been thinking about lately.

Slightly related, I got around to watching that Shabekuri007 Christmas special where the current lineup and some OGs talk about various things that haven't been talked about before. It was awesome to hear from them directly, that yes of course there's rivalry to be center. Junjun and Linlin's concerns about being placed stage right and stage left as a backline seemed so heartfelt xD;; I don't know, it just made me happy to see it confirmed that of course MM girls aren't super-human girls who won't argue with each other xD;;; It stirred up my image of the group (particularly about some of the OG members), and I really enjoyed that.

Morning Musume: Now on CNN!!! Or at least some subsection of their website.

Quote
Idols going global: Morning Musume's worldwide renaissance
International interest in anime and games opens the door for Japan's revered idol groups overseas

This year from July 1-4, an estimated 180,000 people visited the Paris Nord Villepinte in Paris, a near 60-fold increase on the 3,200 who came to see the first Paris Japan EXPO  in 1999. As the scale of the event has increased, showcasing anime, fashion, cosplay, traditional Japanese ikebana and minyo and live music, so has the level of the guests of honor, this year attracting all-girl pop group Morning Musume.

Japanese culture has recently been spreading worldwide with a boom in Japan-oriented EXPOs across the globe. But while many facets of Japanese entertainment have found a foothold in many countries -- manga, anime, horror films -- music has struggled. But with pop acts regularly contributing theme songs to anime and games, the tie-ins are paying off.

Having played in Los Angeles & Hawaii in the USA, Shanghai & Hong Kong in China, South Korea, Taiwan and now Paris, France, eight-piece Morning Musume's high-energy routines and songs are leading the charge for J-Pop, and three members spoke to CNNGo about their international exploits.
Read more: Idols going global: Morning Musume's worldwide renaissance | CNNGo.com http://www.cnngo.com/tokyo/life/idols-going-global-morning-musumes-worldwide-renaissance-649455 (http://www.cnngo.com/tokyo/life/idols-going-global-morning-musumes-worldwide-renaissance-649455)

And I agree with you guys that a real "renaissance" for the group would be to transition them out of the old idol ways and into a new promotional direction...if we won't ever get a 9th generation then it would make for a good alternative route to try.

Seeing the Shabekur007 episode comfirmed my own notion that I've developed that Morning Musume really is two separate groups sharing the same name: the original group being the first four generations lasting from 1997-2005, and the second group (the one we know now) starting in 2001 with 5th gen onwards, and there being that period of overlap when members were coming and going like crazy, as if to transition the MM name from the old group to the newer one. I'm sure this view could lead to further debates on which lineup was "better", but it's an interesting way to look at the history of a group that has had so many changes and only recently started to settle on some kind of consistency.

Shit like that used to be so common, the good thing about Momusu being less popular (and not having any loli members) is that things like that are less likely to happen D:

It's funny how MM used to have (still has?) some loli stigma in the more recent years, turning off people, when stuff like this happened at the height of their popularity :| Logic, there is none

Well, the logic, such as it is... is that when they were popular, people liked them, and that was natural.  But now that they're NOT popular, the only reason people would like them, is if they have problems.  Though, with the youngest member 17 years old, it's not quite a loli-con

Is everybody familiar with the Love Machine Curse? I decided to look at the new cover of Love Machine that was shot for the All Singles 10th Anniversary CD. I basically wanted to see if the graduation order was gonna apply to the current Morning Musume.  In the original, the order starts from top right to bottom and continues to the left side.
Original

The new one
(http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/9782/mmallsingles02.th.jpg) (http://img691.imageshack.us/i/mmallsingles02.jpg/)
I looked at Eri, and saw Jun and Lin beside her. I was like "OH SHIT!" I got a little freaked out when I saw Risa after the 3. I was like "Hmm, I guess the curse is going from top right to left, but when I looked at the bottom row, I noticed Koharu. I was relieved. No curse here! at least I hope not XD and nothing against Koharu, she was my favorite. I love you Koharu!  :heart:

I think five is a nice number for a pop act, but... damn. It's really weird seeing MoMusu with such few members.

This will probably never happen, but I'd love it if they tried to recreate the original MoMusu sound with this new generation five member version. As in, release an album with cool, more adult pop songs with lots of great harmony-singing. :heart:

 モーニング娘。の新メンバー4人が2日、東京・中野サンプラザで行われた「ハロー!プロジェクト2011」新春ツアー(9日まで)で発表された。

 3年10カ月ぶり、約9000人が応募した「9期メンバーオーディション」で選ばれたのは、生田衣梨奈(13)鞘師里保(さやし・りほ=12)鈴木香音(12)の3人。さらに、ハロプロエッグ(ハロプロの研修生)から譜久村聖(ふくむら・みずき=14)が選ばれた。

 2000人のファンの前で、生田は「最終的にリーダーポジションに付けるように頑張りたいです!!」と意気込んだ。それを聞いたリーダーの高橋愛(24)は「いいね~私と(年齢が)一回りも違う…」と苦笑いした。

 今後、同グループは計9人となり、新メンバーの本格的な活動時期は未定。同コンサートではモーニング娘。の他、Berryz工房、℃-ute、真野恵里菜、スマイレージ、ハロプロエッグセンバツの総勢32人が参加した。

Sometimes I wonder if you really know what some of the 2ch stuff you repost means, lol.
It says...

Takahashi Ai - Strongest natural ace (ever?). (leader)
Niigaki Risa - Annoying/loud sister-in-law. (sub-leader)
Tanaka Reina - Hakata-ben woman. Tsundere yankee.
Michishige Sayumi - Ugly-cute. Poison-tongued narcissist.
Mitsui Aika - Kansai old lady. (Probably closer to "hag".) A poor man's Ayaya.

Fukumura Mizuki - Sexy "apartment wife". (Something like a desperate housewife I think.) Giant face and giant boobs make her the next Michishige Sayumi.
Ikuta Erina - AKB Kojiharu fan & classic beauty. The next Kamei Eri.
Sayashi Riho - Thin eyes like the face of an Imperial Family member. The next Ogawa Makoto.
Suzuki Kanon - Ridiculously large boobs make her the next Ishikawa Rika.


Funny to see this one particular 2ch user's perspective.

Interesting how only Aichan is wearing a bright color.

Something about their eyes looks a little off to me.
Maybe it's that it only looks like Zukki is the only one who even looks close to having a real smile.

In any case, great to see them all in one photo at last.

^ It seems that the tsunami, which is the one that's taken lives, hit the north of Honshu the worst, and not Tokyo. Tokyo has cancelled trains, Narita airport is closed and there are some fires, but there's nothing (in the news) to indicate lots of deaths in that area. No crushed buildings, etc. If say, the TV Tokyo building came crashing down, we should be worried sick. Assuming that the girls are in Tokyo right now, I think they have got away with just a scare.

It's still a tragedy, though :/

Omg the video is horribly scary

That was just a promotional thing for a karaoke chain.
They got this new system with webcams in the rooms so you can record yourself, post to the web, sing duets with other people, sing along with yourself, etc.

Pretty sure it was a one-shot deal.

a fun mix of "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari" and clips of each girl. From Wikipedia:  The same formula was used by the more internationally familiar group Morning Musume, and people regularly compare Onyanko Club to Morning Musume. They even gave a small tribute to Onyanko Club at the end of their member "roll call"-esque song "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari" when they do the classic "Nyan Nyan" pose. The song is similar to the series of three "Kaiin Bango no Uta" songs released by Onyanko Club.   [OPV] Morning Musume - Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari (COMIC.ver)  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7RiqUotVtc)

Hot Express recently interviewed Morning Musume members Takahashi Ai, Michishige Sayumi, and Sayashi Riho to talk about graduations, their latest single “Only you“, and more for an inside look at the idol group.

Good stuff, like this bit in the end:


Quote
Takahashi: It’s incredible to think that Morning Musume is loved by so many kinds of people. We’ve been doing our best, but it’s because of the people who supported us that we’ve continued for fourteen years… If we don’t forget that feeling, I think we could go on forever. As the members gradually change, there are people who think, “You can’t go” or “Which members are left now?”. But since we do our activities thinking, “We have faith in this Morning Musume now,” as Sayu often says, we’d like to be known by all sorts of people. On each of our blogs and radio shows, we receive a bunch of comments from overseas, so I’d like for us to become more worldwide. I won’t let us lose to K-pop!

Michishige: Despite the fact that she loves K-pop!

(Everyone roars with laughter.)

Takahashi: I love it (laughs), but… they’ve been steadily getting first place. As a Japanese person, I feel like we need to try harder!

Oh the dilemma... :P

I'm a little surprised that Ai-chan isn't on the regular calendar since when Koharu graduated and when Eri, JunJun and LinLin graduated they were still on the calender for the next year but I guess they decided that since Ai-chan would get her own calendar that she didn't need to be in both.

Even though there are only three girls left from lineup that drew me in 5 years ago, 
I'm still grateful because if not for them, I would not have found this forum. :jphip:

The new girls are already showing a lot of promise, but they still need some polishing.
With experienced senpais to guide them, I hope they'll be able to bring out their true potential.
I wish them all the best for the upcoming year.

MICHISHIGE SAYUMI
I don't put on a chara, I'm myself
If I put a ribon in my hair, I'm a beauty
I'm an organic Yamaguchi production
With black hair

Niigaki : You're just a poison tongue, right?
-----
TANAKA REINA
”Yankii, Yankii!" is what everyone says but
I'm actually a weak person
I interfere sharply and
I'm a cringing Hakata girl

Suzuki : But she's a yankii after all!
-----
MITSUI AIKA
Since I'm the only 8ki
There are times that I'm lonely as well
Then I go to eat Okonomiyaki
with the 9kies and 10kies

9kies/10kies : Maido ookini! (Thank you for every time?)
----
FUKUMURA MIZUKI
I certainly cry right away
But I just love HaroPuro too much
It's like I don't know
about my own nature

Sayumi : There it is! HaroPuro Wota!
----
IKUTA ERINA
I cut my long hair
to a cute shortcut
Is it okay to love you too much?
Niigaki is my oshi for live!

Niigaki : Even after my graduation, yoroshiku
----
SAYASHI RIHO
I've been dancing since I was a kid
Even when I become older I want to keep dancing
I'm Morning Musume's only
Hiroshima member

Mitsui : Hiroshima no okonomi mo ee yo ne (It's good to prefer Hiroshima? )
----
SUZUKI KANON
When I do a succesful konto
Also when I run swiftly for three lines (? Not sure, "Sara ni san no sen tsuppashiru")
It has nothing do with slipping or not
I'll go my own way

Kudou : That's a woman's courage
----
IIKUBO HARUNA
Even when I calm I look in a hurry
Even whin I chill I look worried
But after all, I'm 17
My goal is being sexy

Tanaka : Eh? Really?
----
ISHIDA AYUMI
I'm a dance machine grown up in Sendai
I'll go on carrying Miyagi's name
I don't want to lose in dancing
My goal is being NO. 1

Sayashi : What? You still have some way to go
----
SATO MASAKI
There are lots of Haro members from Hokkaido
My secret ambition is big!
I'll keep my charm
a little bit more as a secret

Fukumura : It's a secret weapon huh?
Iikubo : No! Let it out!
----
KUDO HARUKA
My husky voice is my charm point
My big eyes are my gap
I'll show you the growth of my guts
since my egg times

Michishige/Tanaka : Good luck!
Mitsui : You're gonna be a beauty
----
NIIGAKI RISA
Everyone except Niigaki : See no! NIIGAKI RISA!

I'm Momusu's longest serving member
I love the past, present and future
Member card is still
My treasure

Everyone except Niigaki : Thank you very much!
----

NOTES :
*Yamaguchi : Sayu's prefecture
*Hakata = Hakata is Reina's birthtown (I think?)
*Okonomiyaki = a sort of pancake
*Oshi = favourite member
*Yoroshiku : means 'take care of me" but it sounds better in Jap so I left it that way XD
*Hiroshima = Riho's birthtown
*Riho's last line is in Hiroshima dialect, and I don't know what "monjaken" means XD I think it means the same as "desu yo" so XD
*Konto : a skit
*Sendai : I guess Ayumi's birth town XD
*Miyagi : Ayumi's prefecture
*Hokkaido : Masaki's prefecture
*See no : means something like 3,2,1 or let's go

Post by: rndmnwierd on May 18, 2012, 06:29:50 AM
So... Not much time now, huh? I'll probably be asleep by the time the graduation actually takes place, so I thought that I would postwhore a bit over here before I hit the hay.

It hasn't been all that long since Ai left, but the few songs that have been released since then have had this piece inherently missing. It wasn't until I heard Shabondama playing over my speakers did I realize what had happened; I grew so used to hearing Ai's voice in almost every song, that all the new pieces felt a little strange to me. Then it struck me that I had been hearing Risa's distinctive tone in all of the same songs, though maybe not at the forefront. Now, after Ai left, I've loved hearing Risa take up a majority of the solo lines, it's been quite a treat to one that truly enjoys her soothing tones contrasting with Reina's high vibrato.

And all of that enjoyment will be kicked down another notch after tomorrow, when the longest tenured member finally leaves.

Now, I've been through quite a few graduations, not as many as some, but I came into the fandom when Morning Musume was still known for it's ever changing line-up, and I've never cried at any of the heartfelt sentiments that bring the others to tears on stage or from the audience. That's just not how I work. If anything has ever brought me close to that point, though, it would have to be this realization I came to a few days ago.

Risa is leaving and Ai is already gone.

It's very likely that Reina will be next.

Even Aika won't be back to on stage anymore, no matter how much I dislike her singing.

My Morning Musume is almost gone...

Now, I recently came back from a trip to the Land of the Rising Sun, having gone to collect memories of my beloved group, and while I was there, I had the opportunity to attend a handshake even that was being held for the 9ki and 10ki members. I never really felt much for these new kids, I've watched them, chuckled at their antics, accepted them as here to stay, but before getting to meet them face to face, my Mornnig Musume had always been the older girls, had always been this group lead by cool older sister types (and Ai-chan XD ) singing cool and sexy songs, and relating to me as people my own age.

I had forgotten that those girls had been young once, too. That I had watched them grow up and mature and become the mature group from recent memory.

As I was shoved down each line, greeting the newest additions, I saw similarities in each of them to girls I had already grown to respect and love and after it was all over and I was grinning from ear to ear, I thought to myself, "The kids are alright."

Maybe I can't look up to them as role models who happen to be peers in age, but I can look at them and warmly support them through their trials and tribulations. I have a new respect for Daishi and Harunan, I love Erina and Fuku-chan, the wotas, Haruka and Riho are adorable, and Zukki and Ma-chan are crazy.

So, even though I came to this startlingly emotional realization the other day, I also knew that I shouldn't cry, because graduations are never an end, only a new beginning for everyone. And It's the reason why some many different people can love the same group, like I do.

 :heart: :heart: Morning Musume forever :heart: :heart:

^This. It's wonderful. And how I want to feel about everything once I've had time not to be so sad about it anymore.

I think the thing that I realized is that, while maybe this is a new chapter for MM, it doesn't mean all those other chapters stop existing all of a sudden. I still enjoy going back and watching clips of old stuff and laughing my head off and reminiscing, because just because those members aren't around anymore doesn't make that stuff any less great or hilarious. It's sad maybe to realize that maybe new moments won't be made with the graduates anymore, but none of us will forget them or the mark they've left on the group. It's how I can live in the happy fantasy world before Koharu graduated but still try to get to know the new kids. (Because goodness knows the 6kis will be gone soon and I really won't know what to think then... Am desperately in need of a new favorite before Reina goes. XD ) I suspect fans of Golden Age MM felt like this; but the show goes on.

^ NO DOUBT Quietriot. All about in game adjustments, the memories will exist forever and you grow to appreciate them.

That was FANTASTIC rndmnwierd. CHILLS reading how u came to the realization. Indeed, I too brushed aside 5th, 6th etc. gens until just seeing em work they ass off, interacting with your fave ON TOP of seeing em up close, like when everyone just became Aika fans after MM @ AX 2009 - make you think - that Rika too was a 15 year old snot nosed noob, sucking up to the older Gen to get a foothold in this legendary group Morning Musume.

For it is not the name on the back but the name on the front, you support the TEAM and even tho they are not part of the current releases and other forms of media, once called upon TSOONK they will ASSemble like The Avengers:

Haha yeah, I've been reminiscing about when I first got into Momusu and then I got out of the fandom (sad) and now everything is changing again! It's kind of fun, though? Like I feel like I'm starting all over because I only know Sayu/Reina now, but getting to know all the new girls is nice.

Dai's right, the new kids are alright.  :wub:

If you think about it, it's actually amazing how the both of them can execute the freestyle dance well, considering the added 'mucchaburi' from Nakai that asked them to incorporate that 'acchi muite hoi' into their dance  :twothumbs
I see Rihoriho are still 1-2 step above Daiishi in dancing   :P

above video was blocked.....want to see that one.......

I am excited about watching the new members working together with Sayu and Reina in building their own unique Morning Musume.....

I have been a fan of all the various Morning Musume eras....... It was great watching the Ai to Jun Jun & Lin Lin  era build up their own identity, I thought that era achieved great heights despite the  naysayers at that time....

A look back on that period is great for nostalgia, but also encourages fans knowing that current group will stake out their own future memories.......

A very nice song from  the Aichan Jidai:

I saw a Japanese wota post this character assessment of the current members and died a little inside:

Quote
【6期】 道重さゆみ:リーダー、毒舌ナルシストキャラ(薄れつつある)、­変態(ロリコン) 田中れいな:ヤンキー、孤立していたが佐藤優樹に心を溶かされ穏­やかに 【9期】 譜久村聖:本物のお嬢様、ハロヲタ、自覚のないフェロモンが常に­でている 生田衣梨奈:KYキャラ、卒業した"新垣里沙を応援する会"会長 鞘師里保:ASH出身(perfumeの後輩)、エース、天才肌­、まさにAB型な性格 鈴木香音:ダンスも歌も未経験で加入、お笑い担当 【10期】 飯窪春菜:元ティーン雑誌モデル、褒め上手、シュールな笑いセン­ス、声がいつも高い 石田亜佑美:宮城のダンスマシーン、学級委員長タイプ、笑いのツ­ボが浅い 佐藤優樹:北海道産のド天然、乗馬とドラムとバレエができて絶対­音感の持ち主 工藤遥:ハスキーボイス、やんちゃな弟キャラ、口が悪いが泣き虫­でオバケがこわい

Translated:

[6th gen]
Michishige Sayumi: Leader, poison-tongued narcissist (fading). Hentai (specifically, lolicon)
Tanaka Reina: Yankii, wants to be a loner but that exterior was melted by Sato Masaki (GJ Maachan!), has become calm and gentle.

[9th gen]
Fukumura Mizuki: A real ojou-sama. H!P wota. Emits pheromones (aka sexiness) normally without any self-consciousness of this fact.
Ikuta Erina: KY. Is "kaichou" (aka club president) of the "We will always support Niigaki Risa!" fanclub.
Sayashi Riho: Formerly of ASH (Actor's School Hiroshima), and is thus Perfume's junior. Ace. Genius material. Completely representative of the AB character type.
Suzuki Kanon: Entered without any dance or singing experience. In charge of comedy.

[10th gen]
Iikubo Haruna: Formerly a teen's magazine model. Good at praising people. Has a surreal sense of humor (?). Voice is always high-pitched.
Ishida Ayumi: Dance machine from Miyagi. Class representative type. Superficial way of laughing (?).
Sato Masaki: Extreme tennen character from Hokkaido. Is able to ride horses, play drums and do ballet. Has a perfect sense of pitch.
Kudo Haruka: Husky voice, playful little brother character type. Has a potty mouth but cries easily and is scared of ghosts (lol!)

========================================

But wait, there's more! How the members relate to each other~

【関係】 道重⇔田中 :6期の絆 道重→鞘師 :変態目線 道重⇔譜久村 :ロリコン仲間、ヲタ仲間 鞘師→譜久村・石田 :変態目線 田中→佐藤 :自分を変えてくれた後輩 道重→佐藤 :やや変態目線 譜久村・生田 :ぽんぽんコンビ 譜久村・鈴木・石田 :あゆみずっき(つねに笑いが生まれる) 譜久村・飯窪・石田→道重 :大好き 工藤→田中 :憧れ 石田⇔工藤 :ケンカしつつも仲がいい(トム&ジェリーの関係) 佐藤⇔全員 :ぽくぽく

Relationships:

Michishige -> Sayashi: Pervs over her
Michishige ⇔ Fukumura: Lolicon comrades (Fukuchan is a lolicon too?! wait, this makes sense.), wota comrades
Sayashi -> Fukumura, Ishida: Pervs over them (yes, I have heard this)
Tanaka -> Sato: The kouhai that has changed her.
Michishige -> Sato: Pervs over her...slightly.
Fukumura and Ikuta: PonPon combi
Fukumura, Ishida, Suzuki: AyuMiZukki (and so a new comedy trio was born)
Fukumura, Iikubo, Ishida -> Michishige: We love you!
Kudo -> Tanaka: Admiration
Ishida ⇔ Kudo: Are good friends despite fighting a lot (Tom & Jerry relationship...lol)
Sato ⇔ Everyone: poku-poku (not sure how to translate this. just imagine Maachan glomping everyone. There.)


XD This wota is awesomely spot on. :D Just wanted to share with everyone~
Title: Re: The Morning Musume Thread (モーニング娘。)
Post by: Slack on June 06, 2012, 05:22:25 PM
I'd like to share some of the popular opinion driving these relationship descriptions.

Quote
Michishige ⇔ Fukumura: Lolicon comrades
We knew Sayu was a lolicon for Riho, but for Fukuchan it's a little harder to detect for most people who aren't paying her much attention.
She's nowhere near as vocal about it as Sayu and tends not to say controversial things Sayu says. (Like publicly stating a desire to abduct Riho.)
She has said though, that she likes cute girls, especially those of elementary school age.
Also, she has stated on the radio that she has something of a fang-fetish, and likes Masaki's teeth. (It's slight, but sometimes detectable.)
Directly after saying this, she tried to get Zukki to admit having fangs too. (Zukki denied this, which I think disappointed Fukuchan a little. lol)

Her lolicon image kind of got a boost from when one wota heard from her at an event that she is a fan of "Maria-sama ga Miteru".
That's a shojo manga (Fukuchan is a stated fan of the genre) & anime that features a girls-only Catholic school.
I understand this one has some yuri overtones, and Mizuki seems to have absorbed the caring older-sister/senpai role from this kind of manga.



Quote
Sayashi -> Fukumura, Ishida: Pervs over them
Riho has a skin fetish, and Fukuchan's skin is some of the best!
Sayu blogged about touching it and Reina even commented on it on HPT during the shooting for Only You.
Riho supposedly (I've never seen/heard a primary source on this) said during last year's Hawaii FC tour that she was surprised at how large Fukuchan's chest is.
Perhaps the most damning evidence is when Riho said for a concert's self-intro MC that she loves Fukuchan's... everything. (specifically mentioning her arms and calves)
This got quite a few "yada~" and "hentai!" reactions from the other girls.

For Ayumi, I've only heard Riho talk on the radio about being attracted to her lips. (and I think wanting to kiss them or something?)
Other than this, I can't think of much else here.


Quote
Fukumura, Ishida, Suzuki: AyuMiZukki (and so a new comedy trio was born)
Aside from seeing the three of them introduce themselves as this in one of the merchandise channel's youtube videos, there's evidence this goes deeper.
For Fukuchan <-> Kanon, the usual evidence that is brought up is the part during Bijo Gaku where Fukuchan is helping Zukki learn the dance for one of their first FC events.
Fukuchan praises Zukki's improvement, at which point Zukki goes, "It's because Mizuki-chan helped me." and hugs her. (See "Maria-sama ga Miteru" above)

For Ayumi and Zukki, they appear quite frequently in blog pictures together, and Ayumi was even wearing Zukki's green tour T-shirt in one of them.
There's a similar rate of blog photo co-appearances between Fukuchan and Ayumi as well, and the image is further strengthened by their both being the same grade in school.

The whole grouping gives me kind of a Three Stooges type of feeling, with regard to their roles in the group.
Fukuchan is the leader (Moe), Zukki is the lulzy one (Curly), and Ayumi is the react-er (Larry).


Quote
Michishige -> Sato: Pervs over her...slightly.
Popular speculation is that Sayu, being the lolicon she is, has her feelings for Riho fading a little due to Riho's physical growth.
I believe one listener on her radio show asked her about this and she said something about Riho becoming an exception to her normal preference to loving small things.
In any case, childish Masaki is the next logical target for Sayu's gaze.

Ishida ⇔ Kudo: Are good friends despite fighting a lot (Tom & Jerry relationship...lol)
A newer trend among the wotas seems to be pairing these two up as a de facto couple, with both of them being somewhat tsundere about it.
I think Kuduu's new haircut may also have something to do with this.


I do find it interesting that the Kuduu/Masaki pairing or SayaSuzu were not in there, especially since the Ponpon combi was mentioned.

Really enjoyed the Momu/ Fairies appeareance together.....but in several tapes I did not see the Riho & Ayumi dance exhibition....

Om my gaaaaaa!! (if it has been posted please let me know, it must be somewhere)

The whole tape is fun to watch, but go to the tape starting at 13:35 and prepare to have your mind blown!

It was nice to see Sora and Miki's dance, as before I had only seen Riho and Ayumi's dance.

Great to see Fairies and Morning Musume together on this show....does seem like the various idol companies are cooperatng fairly often now....should be good for the overall "idol-pop" category..............

Quote from: sferris from takamaruyo.net
Rules of Morning Musume
Taken from 2012-08-01 Ii tomo

1. One must always greet Sayu with "Good morning, you look so cute today Michishige-san"
  - Is a new rule initiated by Grandmaster Michishige
  - Daishi says no one really follows this rule T_T
2. When meeting together for any reason, the kouhais must be there at least 30 minutes before the senpais
  - Old rule that Reina says no one really follows anymore, but it was something the 6ki had to follow
  - Sayu says there were certain senpais that were really scary at the time that were strict about this rule
3. After a concert, you must take off your make up before you can go home.
  - Iikubo says this is a new rule for the 9+10th gen members only for skin health reasons.
4. If two girls have the same hair style, the kouhai must change it without complaints.
5. You must turn in your report card to your manager

  - This rule still exists
  - Reina says one of the most important rules is you must be able to handle school and work together (i.e. cannot neglect one)
  - Sayu says you get a heavy scolding if you get bad grades or "come close to getting all F's"
  - Sayu says this never happened to her before but then she looks over to Reina and... big_smile

Morning Musume Interview with Idoool for “13 Colorful Character” [Ikuta, Sayashi, Sato]
Special Translations | By kurikaesu | October 12, 2012

excerpt:

–You’ve been active as Morning Musume–with the 9th generation at almost 2 years and the 10th generation at almost 1 year. Is there anything that you feel you’ve actually improved on?

Ikuta: In order to surpass my seniors, I watch them singing and dancing, and then copy them more often. My seniors are people whom I want to surpass. I’m aiming to become “The best idol in the world,” and if I pull back because they’re my seniors, I won’t become the best in the world, so I want to crawl my way  up with the feeling, “I could get left behind any time.”

–Tanaka-san and Michishige-san are people that you want to surpass, huh?


Ikuta: Tanaka-san is in terms of singing, and Michishige-san is in terms of dancing. I separate them into those kinds of images, and I want to surpass them in those.

–When do you think you’ll be able to surpass them?

Ikuta: Um……yeah, I don’t know (laughs).

–Ikuta-san has been active for 2 years…

Ikuta: Michishige-san and Tanaka-san have been members for 10 years, so…I guess in about 5 years, then?

Sayashi: So fast~!

–At what moment does Sato-san feel like she’s improved?


Sato: After entering Morning Musume, a lot of people have told me, “Your handwriting has gotten better, huh?”

All: (laugh)

Sato: It got better over time as I signed autographs. When I write in my notebook, I’m told, “Maa-chan, your handwriting has gotten better, huh?” Also, I was told, “You’ve gotten better at dancing.” I don’t want to lose to my generation-mate, Ishida Ayumi, who’s good at dancing, and in particular when I started dancing with that feeling since “Ren’ai Hunter,” I’m told, “Compared to ‘Pyoko Pyoko Ultra’ your dancing has gotten better, and if you work hard, you can also improve in singing~”

–Who said that to you?

Sato: It was…a friend.

All: (laugh)

I went to see their 15th Anniversary Debut Concert Tour Fall 2012 ~Colorful Character (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=33117.0) at the Sunshine Plaza in Nakano on 10-07! Full review coming up later, but I can say that Sayumi was the big winner for me throughout the concert. Couldn't keep my eyes of her  :lol:

edit: My ticket was for the 20th row, a bit left of the center which was very good.

Besides, DM's only single released in 2012 didn't even break 10K in sales.

MM has tons of fresh new members and the last singles sales are double of what they were these past years.

Relationships:

Michishige ⇔ Tanaka: 6th gen bond
Michishige -> Sayashi: Pervs over her
Michishige ⇔ Fukumura: Lolicon comrades (Fukuchan is a lolicon too?! wait, this makes sense.), wota comrades
Sayashi -> Fukumura, Ishida: Pervs over them (yes, I have heard this)
Tanaka -> Sato: The kouhai that has changed her.
Michishige -> Sato: Pervs over her...slightly.
Fukumura and Ikuta: PonPon combi
Fukumura, Ishida, Suzuki: AyuMiZukki (and so a new comedy trio was born)
Fukumura, Iikubo, Ishida -> Michishige: We love you!
Kudo -> Tanaka: Admiration
Ishida ⇔ Kudo: Are good friends despite fighting a lot (Tom & Jerry relationship...lol)
Sato ⇔ Everyone: poku-poku (not sure how to translate this. just imagine Maachan glomping everyone. There.)


XD This wota is awesomely spot on. :D Just wanted to share with everyone~

I'm just wondering what it takes to have a SAyuMiZukki combi and what will happen if this combi really were to form  XD

Hey guys I just wanted to ask a simple question:

Currently the prefecture where the most number of members (past and present) come from is Hokkaido with 6 right? Ishiguro, Nacchi, Iida, KonKon, Mikitty and Maa-chan all come from from Hokkaido...But an interesting fact is that Fukuda Asuka, Goto Maki, Nono, Turtle, Fuku-hime and Chokubo are all from Tokyo as well so doesn't that make Tokyo the "most popular" hometown of the MM members (past and present) alongside Hokkaido? It's kinda interesting....

Pardon me if I'm mistaken but I think it's kinda funny that Kyoto (Nakazawa-san), Aichi (Kanon-chan) and Miyagi (Da-chan) have only produced 1 MM member each lol...

I made this a while back.

I think more interesting is the fact that not one member has come from Osaka, the prefecture with the 2nd biggest city in Japan.

The island-region of Shikoku has no member calling it her home-region.

also, apologies for the insanely small text, I can't get the original one I made on my PC.

Wow you're really cool, being able to make this!   :thumbup :twothumbs

So only Ichii Sayaka and Yasuda were from Chiba right? There are also 4 from Kanagawa as well - Yaguchi, Rika-chan, Gaki-san and Sakura-chan right?

And good point about the 1 where no member comes from Osaka! And not to mention Hyogo (where Kobe is)! That's why I'm kinda surprised that only Kanon-chan comes from Aichi...Without actually taking Tokyo into consideration, Osaka, Nagoya and Kobe are probably the bigger/major cities in Japan no? And yeah so far all the members of MM have only come from 3 of the 4 major islands in Japan  :shocked

[Event Report]’We won’t change’ – Mizuki Fukumura, Morning Musume。

Morning Musume。 released their official photo book, “Morning Musume。 15th Anniversary Photo book ZERO” on September 30. In celebrating their anniversary, the members select including Mizuki Fukumura, Riho Sayashi, Haruka Kudo and Sakura Oda held a handshake event.

Fukumura, Sayashi, Kudo and Oda at 『Morning Musume。15th Anniversary Photobook ZERO』 Hand Shake Event Photo

Sayashi, being asked for recent events, shared an episode that one of her close friends who used to call her by given name lately changed the way she spoke to Sayashi by using her family name in a polite way and that confused Sayashi. Sayashi figured the friend perhaps felt Sayashi had gone far beyond her reach since she got too famous via TV appearances, so Sayashi had to persuade her to continue staying close as usual friends by never using the polite Japanese card.

Mizuki Fukumura, the sub leader of the group commented saying, “Many people say we have become famous and beyond their reach, but that’s not the case. We won’t change and we need all their support from before and going forward.”

The released photo book ‘Morning Musume。 15th Anniversary Photo book ZERO’ is under the theme to go back to the basic of Morning Musume。and includes photos from class 9, 10 and 11 uniforms and room outfits. The book also includes interviews from industry big names who have known Morning Musume。well including their producer, Tsunku♂. Making this booklet more than just another item for the fans, it comes with DVD which captures daily clips of the members.

Feeling a bit shy looking back the local photo shoot, Haruka Kudo explains, “My mother only sees me as her daughter and not a member of Morning Musume。, so she feels a bit embarrassed looking at a photo of me laying down in a park where we used to go for playing years ago.” making the media laugh.

The photo book includes a shot in which the members are wearing school uniforms. The uniform is supposedly very close to their real life uniform instead of aphoto shoot specialized item. “It’s not the stylish one but more realistic..” (Kudo) Mizuki Fukumura said, “We were like all school friends during the shoot and I love the feel of it when looking at it.”

Morning Musume。 is currently on tour < Morning Musume。 Concert Tour Fall 2013 ~CHANCE!~>. The tour finale is scheduled at Nippon Budokan on November 28.

Morning Musume to sing the official support song for Japanese national team at the 'Sochi 2014 Olympics'
October 31, 2013 @ 6:43 am

On October 30, it was announced that idol group Morning Musume would sing the official support song for the Japanese national team at the 'Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics'.
 
The group has also been appointed as the ambassadors for "Nippon! Call Project" to cheer for the Japanese national team. For this project, they will collect people's "Nippon!" calls from all over Japan by using a smartphone application, and the shouts of encouragement will form a "炎 (=flame)" mark. Then it will be sent to the Japan's team members. Reportedly, the official support song will also contain the shouts from people all over Japan.

Morning Musume members attended the project's launching ceremony held at Haneda Airport along with Hashimoto Seiko, the Chef de Mission for the Japanese team, and the candidates for the Japanese women's ice hockey team.

The leader of the group, Michishige Sayumi, enthusiastically said, "I was surprised at this important task and felt a little worried, but it is amazing to be able to sing the support song. I feel that we need to do our best."

When asked about other Olympic games, Michishige would be paying attention to, she answered, "It will be figure skating. Since many skaters of the same generation as me or younger than me are taking active parts, looking at them gives me courage and positive feelings that I also need to try my best." She revealed that she pays special attention to Asada Mao.

[EN] Information concerning Morning Musume。

December 5, 2013 at 7:11pm

From the bottom of my heart, I have to thank you very much for always supporting Morning Musume。 and Hello! Project.

Without delay, I have an information concerning Morning Musume。.

There will be a modification concerning the group's name Morning Musume。.

From the 1st of January 2014, the name of the group Morning Musume。 will be "Morning Musume。'14" (モーニング娘。’14 in Japanese). The way of reading the group's name is "Morning Musume One Four".

On 2014, Morning Musume。 kept this group's name for 17 years. From now on, to leave no doubt like "About when has this single song "XXX" been released!?" or "During which period did the member "XXX" take part of Morning Musume。?", the year will be displayed and the group can continue its activity after this for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years.

Therefore, the 1st January 2015, the group's name will become "Morning Musume。’15" (Morning Musume。 One Five).

Well, it might become confusing and might give up lol, but at any rate, from the New Year's Day, please support those girls who will become "Morning Musume。’14"!

The 55th single of Morning Musume。 '14 will be released on 29th January 2014. From now on, a new feeling will start!

6th December 2013

Morning Musume。's Producer

Tsunku♂

'HEY! HEY! HEY!' to air as a special program in the New Year
December 7, 2013

Fuji TV's special program 'HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP' will air on January 13th.

In Fall 2014, 'HEY! HEY! HEY!' will celebrate the 20th year since the program first started. The special program will feature Arashi, Kanjani8, and
Morning Musume as the guests.

Arashi will be inviting celebrities such as Arimura Kasumi, Ishihara Satomi, Uehara Koji, Ogura Tomoaki, Funasshi, and Rola who will share their "things they want to ask Arashi". Meanwhile, Morning Musume will show off their characteristics and talents to Downtown.

There will be more artist besides Arashi, Morning Musume, and Kanjani8 appearing on the show.

For me, the big thing here isn't just that it's been announced that they're going to be appearing on this, but rather, it's that they're one of the first guests to be announced, instead of being one of the last ones. Being one of the first ones shows/implies that they definitely were on the list of groups/artists that they wanted on the show, so they made sure to book them early to ensure that they could/would come; and when I say "instead of being one of the last ones", I mean in a "Ok, we still have some time to fill up, who else is out there that we can bring in to use it up?" kind of way.

So yeah, so maybe they didn't get on Kohaku this year, but who knows? It may just be overly hopeful/optimistic, but it could be that 2014 (stupid name change notwithstanding) will see more bigger and better things for MM.
:yep:



Oh, and some more MM on this week's Mechaike!

Remember that Fuji TV special that wota were asked to apply for (that 2 day one night thing)?
 
They released the summary of what's going to happen...
 
http://www.fujitv.co.jp/b_hp/140102dokkiri/index.html (http://www.fujitv.co.jp/b_hp/140102dokkiri/index.html)
 
Summary: For the dokkiri ("prank") corner, we have set up the most elaborate morning wakeup call prank for Morning Musume, who are currently riding a new wave of popularity. On the pretext that they are headed somewhere else for work the next morning, the members were taken to a building to stay over for the night. While they were sleeping, we dismantled the walls and transformed the place into a concert hall, and then placed 500 of their fans in the audience to wait for them to wake up. Will they be able to perform while still sleepy?!
 

They dismantled the wall. THE WALL. This is going to be good. I can just feel it. This will be as epic as the mechaike dokkiris, I hope! :lol:

EDIT: This will be airing on January 2nd 18:30~22:00 JST. Well that's the time slot for the 3hr special, so the dokkiri will be somewhere in that slot. I'm sure my wota friends in Japan will keep me updated :lol:

Morning Musume aims for 2014 Kouhaku through “reimportation”

Morning Musume producer Tsunku♂’s (45) plans for Momusu’s worldwide advancement are beginning to materialize. To their regret, Momusu were not elected to appear at the influential NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen this year. On the 28th at the final show of their “Concert Tour 2013 Aki ~CHANCE!~” (Tokyo, Nippon Budokan), leader Michishige Sayumi (24) greeted the audience in an MC: “It was a good year even if it’s a shame about how it’s ending. But we’re going to keep being positive and doing our best!” While the rest of the members seem bitter about it as well, Tsunku♂ has already set his sights to the next stage outside the borders of Japan.

As an anonymous source involved in music points out: “the musicianship of Momusu is their greatest asset.“

In recent years, Momusu has adopted the EDM (electronic dance music) genre that’s popular worldwide, aiming for a further evolution in their performance. Furthermore they now feature complex formation dances done in beautiful form.

The aforementioned source adds: “Right now the popularity of Momusu overseas is amazing. While groups like AKB and Momoclo are popular, too, Momusu surpasses them on that front. While there’s of course the language barrier, they have the weapon of “musicianship” that other groups do not possess. Whereas in the past Momusu were known in large part for their TV personalities who appeared on variety programs, now they are seen as artists. That’s their strong point.“

He says that next year they will increase their promotional activities in the West. Tsunku♂ has started planning to have the group break internationally before having them appear on Kouhaku next year through “reimportation.”

^I was watching this at work and couldn't stifle my giggles. My colleagues were asking me what was wrong :lol:

Sayu running back to the futons :lol:
Harunan putting in contacts :lol:
Fukuchan missing her line while Ayumi helps her with her glasses :lol:
Zukki and Eripon going through the motions with a "buhhh...wha?" face :lol: I particularly liked Zukki's "janai" *yawn*
Then Riho and Sakura being super on the ball from the start. Riho: "The mics are there!" Sakura: *goes straight to her mic*

I still can't get over Sayu running back to hide under the covers :lol:

But what's most amazing is their What is Love performance, 2 min and 30 second after waking up and performing Love Machine (warming up? XD). Seriously, this gives a whole new meaning to "can do this in their sleep". Despite their pitch wavering at parts, everyone more or less stayed on tune and never missed a cue and the formation changes were done perfectly. Riho looked like she was born to dance :lol: Seriously, that kid. Let her dance and everything's good :lol: She even nailed her big solo in What is Love. Though I must say Sakura shone a great deal in her solo lines for Love Machine. So brilliant. Sasuga Morning Musume '14!

Also, the night before :lol: I can't believe they cut out Maachan's suggested game "the pants-dropping game". WHAT KIND OF GAME WOULD THAT BE. :lol:

Listening to What is Love in that dokkiri, I felt like it was a soft launch for the single. Like, normally, in early performances of a new single, it hasn't been "broken in" so the singing is kinda rough and the dance isn't perfect yet since it's new. So to compensate for that, they threw in a handicap e.i performing the song less than 5 minutes after waking up. So now, even if the singing is rough and the dance isn't perfect, it's all cool 'cuz the girls just woke up. AND THEY STILL LOOK AWESOME PERFORMING. and adorable too. So it doesn't just compensate, it just boosts the street cred of these girls. They are performers 24/7.

Morning Musume don't just fart odorless/ fart marshmallows/ not fart.
They don't suck at Morning Musume-ing while groggy.

So cute how they all looked so lost and confused in the 1st verse of Love Machine. They were genuinely enjoying themselves and I think that's the most fun part of any MM performance. Sakura and Riho are so pro. Riho couldn't let the first line go unsung. Zukki FTW. I'm surprised Eripon didn't stand out more. Mizuki and her glasses lol. People dancing barefoot in 0C WOOO!

After the performance, how comfortable (considering the circumstance) they were with the audience right there, kinda gave me a they-know-their-fans-vibe.

They're literally the "Good Morning Girls Group" (早安少女組。) now.

I've watched the thing more than 5 times already. Breaking into Happy Summer Wedding during bedtime has to be one of the most 'WTF' and 'awwww Morning Musume <3' moments ever. Makes me wonder if they break into MM songs randomly.

Morning Coffee has never felt more appropriate.

Good morning to everybody.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't help watching it that many times!
Observing them all in their natural state, there's a lot to study.

Some small things I noticed through multiple viewings:

Now some notes on their sleepwear:


If you were watching the studio reactions, you may have noticed one woman actually cried when they performed!
That was actress Fujita Tomoko (http://"http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Fujita_Tomoko"), who blogged about (http://"http://ameblo.jp/tomoko-fujita/entry-11741782220.html") how moved she was by the girls' dedication to their fans and how much hard work they must have done in order to perform like that on such short notice.
2ch took notice and as a result, her blog went from 21 likes and 13 comments on her previous entry to over 600 likes and around 170 comments.

And yeah, the dokkiri was totally awesome.  :lol:

So... Morning Musume do a promotional campaign with some comedians and they threw in another Love Machine reference in the process.
At the same time Tsunku also created hype, which lead to disappointment among fans yet again...

How is any of this gonna help Morning Musume? Sure a CM deal is nice, but isn't that a little short-sighted considering how they went about it? :oops:

It just happened to be the same comedians. Other than that: unrelated.

Also the whole point is that the comedy duo are the 'new members'.
So Tsunku played his part and hyped it up as if they really were the new members.
He even made a video talking about them, like after any audition.
つんく♂篇 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3cjwEP_lvU#ws)

Result: big hype train, lots of PR to pass around for everyone.
And the fans? If this somehow 'disappoints' them, then I fully expect them to commit ritual suicide come graduation day.
This is nothing. Except for lots and lots of sweet happy media exposure on national TV and online.

Quote
[Note: These comments are from YOSHIKO-sensei, who was in charge for most of Morning Musume's recent formation dances]

Michishige Sayumi (24) <Pitching will all her might 365 days a year! (*baseball reference) The reliable leader>
Out of all the members she is the one the pratices with the most enthusiasm. She never cuts corners.
She was already serious to begin with, but since becoming leader her sense of responsibility has increased.
When the dance moves are being put together, she even remember the facial movements as they were originally.
Watching that Michishige's back, I'm sure her kohai's are encouraged. She is already perfect.

Fukumura Mizuki (17)<Memorises the [other] members' dance moves! Honour student sub-leader>
She's very stable。Furthermore、 it feels like she's steadily made progress up to now。
Similar to Sayashi and Ishida、 she's the type who actively enters into the dance scenes。
Since she makes large movements、 it's also very forceful。
Since there are a lot of slender members、 I think in the eyes of the guests at lives、Fukumura's dynamic movements will stand out 。

Ikuta Erina (16)<Aiming to be the world's number one idol! Successor of the lime-green>
The Ikuta of recent times is great。  Her movements are sharp。
She's blessed in a physical way。
Speaking of that、I just recently found out that she's able to do handsprings。
Perhaps、there's a chance that I'll make a feature of that move。
Ikuta's fans, please hope for it (lol)。

Sayashi Riho (15)<No questions asked, the absolute ace!  Child of the dance gods>
From the auditions, her dancing was extraordinarily good。
She's a member that I can entrust and feel secure with。
Therefore、 I don't have anything in particular to say (lol)。
Sayashi、 I think she's definitely the one who'll attract the most attention wherever she is。
Anyway, she herself dances with a good feeling、 so watching it gives you a sort of refreshing feeling。

Suzuki Kanon (15) <The cheerful hard worker with powerful dancing>
Suzuki has had remarkable growth in her dancing. At first she really couldn't do anything.
Now she dances normally, but when I think "That Suzuki..." from the past, (compared to her now) I get really happy.
Her dancing is powerful, so it becomes a big accent in the group. Her big smile is also part of her charm.
 
Iikubo Haruna (19)<Using her long limbs to her advantage in dance, the mysterious type sub-leader>
The oldest (new) member we've had in a while, is without a doubt Iikubo!
When I first saw her, her rhythm was so off that it surprised me.
Honestly, I wondered what I should do with her (lol).
But she has long limbs, and looks like a doll, when she pulls herself together, more than anyone else, her dancing becomes like a painting.

Ishida Ayumi (16) <Her dance ability is authentic! Dancer of the forest>
Of course, Ishida's dancing is good。
She's also got a lot of experience。Of that、 I believe that everyone knows。
But to me、 she's skilled、 but I expected more。
What I want from Ishida is something explosive that goes beyond skilled・unskilled。
I want her to give something to the customers、 something that will make their heart feel like it's trembling。
 
Sato Masaki (14) <The most self centered person in the whole world! The girl (musume) who doesn't know fear, the soldier of fortune>
I think it's fitting to say that Sato has hardened her growth in dance.
I think she had dance sense already. But when she just dances by force, at the end of the day there is unevenness (in her dancing).
But it's not a problem with her skill, it's a problem with her mindset. But's she still a child (lol).
I'm looking forward to how Sato will be when she is an adult.
 
Kudou Haruka (14) <The soul of an egg (*H!P Eggs) is right here! #1 with feelings of not wanting to lose>
She is a girl who can dance. But with her skill, she dances a bit flowy (lol).
She has the boyish style charm, so I think if she were able to dance more cleanly and cool, it would really draw people in.
Lately her expressions have become really good, so it is fun to watch her.

Oda Sakura (14) <Manipulates the singing voice of a rainbow (7 colors) The level headed youngest songstress (utahime)>
Dancing flexibly is her trait. I want her to focus more on her face while dancing. Also, she really fast at remebering the dances!
She was skilled beforehand, so I think she is the type that likes the work of memorizing.
Even since her audition she would talk happily and say things like "I like this part of that song's dance move~."

*Thx to Chinatsu and Night of Fire '14 from H!O

So that I could be made part of a chazuke meal

It's all over when I get eaten
 
"Ah, salmon, you're all alone again"
My scales are being stripped away
As I fail at climbing the waterfalls
Is it alright if I get eaten by bears?
 
Ah, I know I'm delicious
But our population decreases like this
I prayed hard before
But I am separated from my descendants
 
Making me as bait or something
I've thought about it but it wouldn't work
When I was still in the ocean
I have overcome so many life and death situations but...
 
Fried salmon
Grilled salmon
Get eaten, salmon
Salmon
Salmon
SALMON
 
Why do you prepare me with meuniere sauce?
If you're going to do it, just fry me with salt
I tried making myself bitter
But there are those who eat me soup and all
 
"Well, is it alright like this, salmon?"
I make my rounds on the conveyer belt in a store
Eat me up before I get thrown away
Just take it for a 100 yen, it's ok
 
That fatty body of yours is a sin
Look, it's hard to release it
It's not like in wartime
Where even just eating potatoes isn't enough
 
Ah, I wanted to be a free salmon fish for longer
Yes, even if kept as a pet
But when dinnertime comes
As you make a sad expression
 
Fried salmon
Grilled salmon
Get eaten, salmon
Salmon
Salmon
SALMON
 
That fatty body of yours is a sin
I can't stop chewing at you
On top of that hot, steaming rice
I want to put fried salmon on it
 
Ah, I wanted to be a free salmon fish for longer
Yes, even if kept as a pet
But when dinnertime comes
As you pretend to be sad
 
Fried salmon
Grilled salmon
Get eaten, salmon
Salmon
Salmon
SALMON

55 Special!Michishige Sayumi Interview parts & Be Alive
55スペシャル!道重さゆみインタビュー&Be Alive (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWmQZq5nk1I#ws)

Quote from: randompasserby from JPLOP
Sayu

──Full of happiness from being able to join the Morning Musume she loved so much.
I took the audition simply because I wanted to join Morning Musume so when I heard that I passed I really felt nothing but happiness. I was going like "Yahoo!" (lol)
I was in such high spirits that even the thought of leaving my hometown in Yamaguchi didn't make me feel any loneliness or other negative moods at all. More like "Alright! I got to go to Tokyo!" (lol)
When they said I could be a part of Morning Musume, I was full of nothing but joy and happiness but after actually joining, to see the intensity of the lessons and the senpais strictness with my own eyes I started to think "Ah I have to work harder here". But even then I was still so moved emotionally by being join the group I loved so much.

──Being appointed as the 8th Leader. The renewed "feelings"
I always wanted to be the leader, you know. So when I finally became on I was of course very happy but when it comes down to it everyday I was always so nervous and the pressure felt like it would overwhelm me at any moment. I kept thinking that as the leader I have to do it more properly/reliably and at the back of my mind I always worried about what should I do if they compared me to the previous leaders.
I kept thinking only of all those negative thoughts so one day I resolved to change my way of thinking. Up until then I would only think about myself, like as long as I'm doing good or in a good spot it's all fine but from then on I converted my attitude to thinking that I also have to do my best as the leader by seriously thinking of the group and how we do our activities as a whole as well.

There's a 10-years gap between me and the youngest members, so saying there wasn't any distance between us from a start would definitely be a lie.
But we're doing this as part of the same group after all and I think communication is very important so even as the only one in the twenties, I'd mingle with the teenagers and play Gyuutan game or such with them (lol)
As we do that we can shorten the distances between each other and get along nicely with everyone. Instead of holding on to some weird pride, I'd also ask my kouhais "this part, what was the pitch for it again?" or "hey teach me the dance for this part" straightforwardly. In that aspect I have to focus not on the Michishige Sayumi who is the most senior in the group but as the Michishige Sayumi who's one of the members of Morning Musume, I have to realize that for the group I can't go on like that (the holding on to pride thing) so I'd properly ask the members who are skilled at dancing etc to teach me.
I'd take care not to neglect having those kinds of communications.

──Now that things are shaping favorably, it's time for the 2nd start.
Joining the Morning Musume that I loved, becoming its leader, and being able to have 4 consecutive single ranked 1st, I strongly believe that here is our second start line.
With the current 10 members, we'll do our best so we could cut open a new path for this group.

──A story around the time of joining, she's so frantic because she loved it.
From the time of joining to 3-4 years later, I was always so frantic. I only thought about how I have to catch up to the senpais and I can't be dragging their feet down, anything less won't do.

──As the longest serving member in Morning Musume's history, looking back on those 11 years.
To be completely honest, I've been doing this for 11 years after all so it wasn't always fun all the time. Of course there are times when it was really hard for me and days where I just wanted to take a break from it all but even among those emotions my feeling of love for Morning Musume was still strong so I was able to keep going. I made it this far and still kept going thanks to that feeling.

──Participating in variety shows, searching for her own "role"
Although I did my best, my singing couldn't quite improve satisfactorily and when compared to the other members it's not like my dancing have any sharpness that made me stand out so I was starting to really wonder what my place in the group is. At that time when I was troubled, I got an assignment to appear in a variety show so I thought "I have to put all my effort into working hard here, I have to leave some impression. If I don't try my hardest now then when?". So then I did my best to make my appeals in that show.

──After appearing in varieties, the reality of Morning Musume that she learned.
Going out on varieties on my own, it's like stepping outside of my own circle taught me the reality that the current Morning Musume then was not well-known at all.
Our own fans know about us of course but the society at large and even fellow entertainers would say things like 「Who's in Morning Musume right now?」 or 「Who's the leader?」. That was the first time I learned how not well-known at all we were, since then whenever I appeared on variety shows I started being aware of different things.

──Even if she get hated on, she wanted people to know of Morning Musume
Even if I they hated me, like 「Wow.. she's annoying」 as long as they remember the name Michishige Sayumi, looked it up and reached Morning Musume at the end of it, if some of those people began to like Morning Musume, then I truly felt that it was well worth it.

──Aspiring to outshine the Morning Musume she looked up to at that time.
When I joined Morning Musume eleven years ago, if you talked about Japan's top idol it's definitely Morning Musume. At school when they're holding a new audition everyone would be like 「Ah they're doing an audition again right? Wanna try it?」 and there's no shortage of topics when talking about them.
I'd love to overtake the Morning Musume of that time with the current Morning Musume. We have to aspire to be in a position where once again people would think of Morning Musume when talking about Japan's top idol. Of course this is not something you can achieve immediately but to that end we're resolved to do our very best.


SayuuuuU~ :l:

And a little snippet from Fukuhime

    As it stands now, I think it's merely because our leader Michishige-san is here with us that we're known as Morning Musume'14.
    It's embarrassing to just leave it as it is so we must showcase our personality more and get our own personal names out there. Now that Morning Musume'14 could be equaled to formation dances, we also have to keep improving our own performance skills to be able to give even more wonderful performances that will resonate in a lot of people's hearts.


She'd make a great leader too one day... :heart:

monday morning edit----------
Ah might as well leave some quick summaries of the rest of the current members' comments


-----Sakura

    -She felt time goes by so fast, it's already more than a year since she joined.
    -She talked about the differences between the dance lessons during her time as Kenshuusei and as part of Morning Musume. In Kenshuusei she only has to make sure to perfect the moves that would let her stand out. in Morning Musume everyone has to match each other's rhythm and move as one. Lately when training in front of the mirrors she even looked to what the senpais are doing than her own reflection.
    -She likes technopop and dancing to EDM. She thinks having her voice processed is very refreshing.
    -For now whenever the appear on tv she wants to leave an impression as the "forehead showing girl who's good at singing".



-----Tenki


    -Harunan felt like there was so many first experiences for her in the past 2 years.

    -Even though the gap between the Qki and the Tenki joining was short, at the time Kudou thought the Qki was way ahead of them in how polished their singing and dancing was. They were having a very difficult time catching up in a lot of areas so they were scolded many times for failing to learn the songs completely or to express themselves properly.

    -Ayumin said the things she learned in Sendai up until then was very different from Morning Musume. It's not just about the genre but also about how to express themselves on stage. Because they were always singing while dancing, putting all her effort into just dancing like she used to isn't gonna cut and she has to think about how to convey something through both her singing and dancing, it was very hard.

    -Harunan didn't even know there were things like rhythm in dancing so even when she asked Ayumi to teach her how to dance she'd end up going blank. That time she couldn't even tell her left from her right so she was really thankful for her generation mates and the senpais who'd teach her from the beginning.

    -Maachan talked about how nervous she was when performing Wakuteka Take a Chance. It was the first time Morning Musume used a diagonal line formation dance and she was positioned at the front and the dance instructor told her to soften her expressions a bit. At the time, she thought she already did that properly but looking at the recordings she was like "you've gotta be kidding me, what's up with this?". Everyone in Qki mirrors her sentiment and added how all their expressions there were so stiff.

-----Qki

    -Riho began by saying how all four of them were already pretty big fans of Morning Musume. Even among other idols they were so cool in their dancing and singing but when Qki actually joined it's just full of frustrations. There were so many things to remember in such a short period of time that they can't quite learn the dance quick enough and can't sing the song properly. They weren't used to a lot of things that they have to do then as part of Morning Musume so at that point she realized that to make the people looking to think how cool they were, there are layers of hard work they have to put in behind it. She'll do her best to come closer to the image of Morning Musume that she had always admired.

    -Kanon thought all of her fellow new members would be the same as her, girls with no experience in singing and dancing. When it turned out everyone else already had some dance experience and compared to her they all have faster learning abilities she got a huge case of inferiority complex. At the beginning, everyday she'd think about how she's being left behind and that kind of sad feelings just kept piling up. But somehow she managed to turn it into a good kind of pressure, her generation mates being better than she was always pressured her to do her best but at the same time they're also always there to help her.

    -Remarkably, Eripon had a pretty big solo part during their debut period. Back then her senpais told her how precious that was and not to take it for granted even though it's just her debut song. Up until now, there probably wasn't any song that she had a solo part close to as long that... so in whatever short moment she had, she always seriously thought about how to make it count, how to make her face memorable. In that moment she has to look cool, in that short moment she put all her life into it.

Because of the recent news, I have 2 questions:

-will The Leader be graduating just from the group, or from Hello! Project?

-any announcement when the next leader of both potential successors will be decided or unveiled?

-will The Leader be graduating just from the group, or from Hello! Project?
According to the official statement that was released by Up-Front (english translation has been linked here - http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=37432.msg1274707#msg1274707 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=37432.msg1274707#msg1274707) ), she will graduate from both Morning Musume and Hello! Project.


-any announcement when the next leader of both potential successors will be decided or unveiled?
The next leader of Morning Musume will be one of the current subleaders, Fukumura Mizkuki and Iikubo Haruna. In terms of an official announcement, I would guess that will be made either shortly before or even during Sayu's graduation ceremony/graduation concert. 

Hell, for all we know, they may announce that since they were co-subleaders, both Fuku-chan and Harunan will get promoted to be co-leaders.

So since I heard about the New York thing this morning, I've kinda been in a pinch. I haven't had really strong feelings for a Momusu member since Koharu graduated, I'm not sure which member I'd like to support at the concert/whatever else comes up.

Should I try to support a less popular member? I'd say go with my gut but I really have no sense of what to do  :?

Quote from: Michishige Sayumi interview from Gekkan Entame 2014年 06月号
9ki Fukumura Mizuki (17)
-----
Together with Iikubo she was appointed as my subleader since May last year.
She often said than she loves Hello Project's history and especially Berryz Koubou's Tsugunaga Momoko-chan and I think she really does love the Idol culture as a whole from the bottom of her heart. Even though she's a girl herself she really likes other cute girls and she has this air of pink fluffiness around her, she's that kind of girl. That natural inclination of hers as a result has led her to study up a lot on Idols, so I think it'll come in handy in her work from now on too.
On the other hand her dancing skills are very dynamic and performance-wise when she's up on the stage you can really feel her presence. She has a clear, soothing/refreshing voice and on top of that she can put some power into it too. From the start her singing has a feeling of transparency into it and it looks like in that aspect she has progressed even further.
She also has the kind of sexiness that you'd never think possible for a 17 years old, I believe that can also be yet one more weapon in Fukuchan's arsenal.

9ki Ikuta Erina (16)
-----
Ikuta seems like she's always going her own way, right? When looking at her somehow I feel relieved. The current members all have a very high awareness of their own singing and dancing skills. That's already wonderful in itself and of course Ikuta is also working very hard but her mischievous side still often comes out after all. She gives off that kind of cute good-at-nothing vibe (lol). It's precisely because there are girls like that in it that we are Morning Musume and looking at that girl doing her best despite her weaknesses, I think a lot of people would want to cheer her on. The girls all have different things they're good at, their birthplace and their personalities are all different too and it's great that way. We have a lot of members that brings out many different flavors right now.
One of the area which I personally find important is cuteness and in that regard I think her serious look is already exceptionally cute. Well, I thought she's a real beauty from the start. She just needs to learn how to smile more naturally. For some reason when she smiles her face looks stiff..... Even though the raw materials is so wonderful, it's a bit vexing for me as the Leader too (lol)

9ki Sayashi Riho (15)

-----
She's an especially hard-working girl. The other members are always doing their best too but even after considering that, her hard-working nature still stood out. She's a reliable girl. When comparing Sayashi to herself from 2 years ago, one thing that changed the most is her consciousness of her singing that has gotten a lot stronger. The other members have that too of course but after Reina graduated and the singing lines are redistributed, I think Sayashi's consciousness of her singing have gotten even higher. I feel that since about a year ago, Sayashi's not simply "the girl who's good at dancing" anymore. Recently the topic of who is the center was seldom brought up among the members anymore but the other members are most definitely aiming to have a better position for themselves. It's the same for even the member with the least amount of solo parts.
In that aspect I think Sayashi has become the goal for the other members. I want her to keep doing her best like she's doing right now.

9ki Suzuki Kanon (15)
-----
Suzuki has become so cheerful! I think she really looks like she's enjoying herself now. When she first joined she has this image of always having a cute smile and recently she seem to have found her own character too, I think everything's really going well for her now. And in relation to singing she has a great volume to her voice too.
In Suzuki's case, rather then talking abilities it's more the force of her character that's the main point. When we went to variety shows as a group, Suzuki who's always ready with one liner gag had many opportunities to have the MC swing the direction of the talk her way. I think it's wonderful how she goes full throttle to bring herself out there like that. Understandably, everyone has things they're shy about doing and that makes them hesitate. Suzuki has been doing impressions since long before but I think she finally shakes the last bit of hesitation off of her when entering this year.
Her attitude of having no fear to lay herself bare like that, I think it'll be a good stimulus for the other members too.

10ki Iikubo Haruna (19)
-----
She has no experience at dancing at all so at the beginning she had a lot of difficulties but in terms of growth, when compared to 2 years ago I think Iikubo has changed the most. How should I say it, her way of thinking is flexible or maybe she's just good at absorbing things. She listened so sincerely to anything that other people told her, I think she's a very good listener. In relation to work, in Sayumi's way of thinking what's most important is the preparation beforehand. Like thinking of what you're going to say at an event tomorrow and building the framework for it, that kind of approach to preparedness is very important in my opinion. Of course I make sure to convey this to all the members but I feel Iikubo in particular faithfully abides by that attitude. One time in the dressing room I saw Iikubo's script by chance, in it there are a lot of notes. She would probably say 「It's because of Michishige-san's influence...」 or something like that but at any rate, I'm moved knowing how earnestly she keeps that attitude.
It's because of such preparedness that when it's time for the real thing I can easily brings out/touch upon a lot of subjects, you know.

10ki Ishida Ayumi (17)
-----
For Sayumi personally Ishida is my current obsession. She's just so interesting I can't help it. But Ishida has bit of a shy side to her as well so she can't show her natural self to the people she just met for the first time. She's not very good at letting herself depend on others too. Different from the face she shows to her family or her hometown friends, the impression she gives off that stood out up until recently is like a lone wolf. She gave off this feeling like an honor student going 「I'll do my best with my Sendai spirits!」. When looking at the times she scolded Kudou or Sato I thought 「She's really working hard~」. But when I got closer to her, I found out just how interesting Ishida really is. One day I got to work together with her for the entire day and that time I finally noticed Ishida's interesting quirkiness. Furthermore, in spite of that, because her dancing is also extraordinarily sharp/precise I thought to myself just how invincible/peerless she is. Beyond just amusing Sayumi, I want the world to know just how interesting Ishida is too. That's what I thought as the Leader.

10ki Sato Masaki (14)
-----
I think Sato's awareness has really changed. Recently I've heard her say the phrase 「I want to grow」 from her own mouth. At the beginning she used to say 「I just want to do it the way I can have some fun」, that part of her really strongly feels that way and she prefers it above all else. Now, instead of saying 「I don't want to lose」 she says 「I want to grow」. There's unexpectedly a lot of difference in feeling between those phrases. I think the fact that Sato is beginning to express that idea from herself actually shows that she has indeed grown. Even though she's doing it in her own way, I feel this girl has also start to properly aim higher.
....... but besides all that, she's still the same innocent Sato in the end. In this aspect, on the contrary I don't want her to change that part of hers. It doesn't matter if I tell her to do or don't change that part though, for the moment I don't think she'll change anytime soon. Like when Sayumi talks to the other members, she'd look at me with a face that says 「Why?」 (lol), it's like she's saying 「Don't talk to Michishige-san~ she's mine」.
It's the very picture of a child's selfishness but I can't help but find that part of her personality to be awfully cute.

10ki Kudou Haruka (14)
-----
In Kudou's case, no matter how you see it, the biggest change is how her body has grown. Sayumi's not the one to talk about this but previously during concerts Kudou used to look so exhausted in the second half. She sweated so much and her face was red all over, it's on the level where I went to ask her 「Are you okay!?」 because it really worried me. But her constitution now gives me the impression that she had properly built a stronger core for her body. Now that the number of concerts she had experienced has increased and in a big part also thanks to her doing some weight training exercises, I can now watch over her with relief.
Concerning her looks, she has always been cute from the start but now she's running down the ikemen route. Personally for Sayumi, her look when she first joined is more my type (lol). I even told the person herself about that. How during Colorful Character (2012 Fall Tour), with her bob cut with the ends curling inwards, 「Kudou during that time was the best!」
But I like this Kudou that won't stray from her course no matter what I tell her too.

11ki Oda Sakura (15)
-----
Compared to the time she joined, she's become really cute now. I think she's gotten good at her make-up skills (lol)
That sounds a bit malicious from the way I said it but I honestly think it's also an important part of being a public entertainer. She was hailed as the Utahime since she was first brought out so her singing skills is of course naturally very good from the beginning. So just when I thought there's nothing to worry about regarding her singing, I noticed the person herself in actuality seemed pretty nervous about it when we were interviewed together some time ago. Of course at the time in my heart I thought 「Saying that in front of Sayumi, was that sarcasm?」 a little (lol).
But in other words, it means that her awareness of her own singing is even higher than any other person. Her skills as a singer is already high to begin with and she has her own way of singing to go with it but she won't be satisfied with just that. Listening to her singing now with that perspective in mind and comparing her to the time she first joined, there is indeed something completely different.
I think she has managed to find a way of singing that can even better "reach/conveys" something than before.

Now, instead of saying 「I don't want to lose」 she says 「I want to grow」. There's unexpectedly a lot of difference in feeling between those phrases.

Though Sayu said that about Maachan, I feel like that really applies to the entire group these days!

I don't know that I'm making any sense with this, but lately it feels like there's something really special about the current Momusu. With their success lately I feel like the girls have had to outgrow any sense of detrimental competitiveness within the group that might have existed when 9th-10th gen were first introduced. Like Sayu said, there isn't much discussion about who gets to be center but they all instinctively know what kind of level they need to be working toward. They seem really mature and cohesive, I loved Sayu as a leader but I love it even more that these younger girls seem completely ready to continue without her. Morning Musume '14 is the best  :wub:

Speaking personally, I think I've seen all of them except for Sakura wearing glasses/spectacles at one point or another.

^^lol kudo and her 2 lobsters is funny. i really don't know much about the new generations yet, and 2 be honest: to me their music comes first, even though tsunku writes it.
but their drinking habbits is damn funny. i'd love a beer with gaki, and yuko.

EDIT: would love a beer w/o gaki and yuko, too // would love gaki and yuko even w/o beer ....HELLLLL  :panic:

Going to post this here, since it's 4 separate topics in one thread that feature/talk about past and present MM members (despite the topic titles, it's all pretty tame/SFW, though you still may not want to leave it lingering on your screen in public :P ).

WotaInTranslation
*If the official currency of Japan was changed from yen to Kamei Eri’s panties
*Michishige Sayumi intentionally exposes her panties for us
*What would you do if you were walking down the street and you suddenly came across a pair of panties that had been dropped by Yasuda or Ogawa?
*I had a dream of Sayu confessing to me even though it’s Eririn I love…

Funny they're going for any nationality; even if he's/she's bringing his/her own props team, there's still the communication with the MM'15 girls

And open audition to the public...Hello!Project is willing to put their MV in the hands of an amateur? Maybe Up-front are still on a budget so tight they don't want to pay for Christopher Nolan or the Japanese equivalent of a blockbuster director :lol:

Follow-up of sorts regarding the "director search" thing...

Quote
Would you like to direct a Morning Musume ’14 PV?

Your chance has arrived! Morning Musume ’14 will be collaborating with Fuji TV in a year end special titled “The Big Chance”. The special is an audition program scouting out people who hope to debut professionally in the entertainment business as a musician, video director, or lyricist.

Gender, age , and nationality doesn’t matter, but the contest is limited to people living within Japan only. Both professional and amateur directors are allowed to apply. The application asks for your favorite Morning Musume ’14 member, “Self PR”, an example of your work, and a short paragraph on your idea for the PV.

The lucky few who pass will be contacted by staff and be invited for the live airing of the show where the winner will be revealed. The winner will get to direct one of the videos on the girls’ next single. The application form can be found here (https://s1.fujitv.co.jp/safe/thebigchance/form01.html).

“The Big Chance” will air on December 29th.

Probably just me getting old, but I totally do not remember seeing/hearing anything about this contest.

EDIT 2: Now, after having a chance to watch them individually, some thoughts on each of the entries...

Entry Blue - It was done well, but it was pretty plain in terms of PV fare. Other than the shots where we got the "camera viewer" POV, nothing about it really stood out. Not a lot to write about it, so (if I were one of the judges) there's really not a lot that made me think it deserved to be the winning entry.


Entry Red - A good blend of what we usually look for in a PV and random bits of randomness. :) Personally, I loved the bits with the steak (Duu's cutting it to the beat of the music and then Fukuchan stealing it and the others running after her WITH the table :lol: ).  I also liked that the ending shot (where Fukuchan getting the bug at the end with the newspaper and then showing Yasshii, who gave a "eww" look) wasn't just a plain "ending shot", if that makes sense.

Oh, and who was that during what I'm calling the "giant body shot" right below the "floating steak shot"?  XD  I'm betting it's either Yasshii or Ayuyu.


Entry Green - The most mature, and dare I say, the most "artsy" of the 3 entries. Showing the song's title in English at the beginning was a nice touch, and having the entire thing done in greyscale is definitely different. I didn't understand the use of the rain effect, but it kinda worked (at the very least, I'm not going to complain about it  8) ). If anything, and this may sound odd, but I think this one had too much dance footage.

Little wonder he won the thing, the boring dance-shot-and-some-close-ups formula has been done billions of times & he knows it (while every single human being who worked in Up-front didn't!)

He dared to bring interesting quirkiness because in the end he understands mediocre MVs are detrimental to MoMusu '14/15

Still I wonder what kind of A-game can he do for the next single on Up-front's budget; I've been spoiled by Babymetal's Ijime,Dame,Zettai & want to see if any MV from anywhere in the world can top it
Something that can even make Christopher Nolan sit up & say "Damn that is a good MV" :P

Well I genuinely thought the '14 suffix was just a special one time thing and kind of push to get them more and more popular (it seemingly worked), then they'd drop it. I wasn't expecting to continue. It wasn't really a y2k type freak out.  :P

Also, I'm so excited for the 12th gen and the new line-up in general. Some of my fave Momusu moments came when they were a HUGE group (I know it's only three more members than it has been, but still). Also, the 12 gen were so cute in that video, because there were a couple of moments you could tell they are still warming up. I also haven't kept up with Momusu since 8th gen, so this is my first time getting excited about new additions for years.

LOL the pranking never gets old, one of the reasons Morning Musume love still continues after all these years

But question, sir?

Why did the new mems also hit the floor on the stage? They just followed everybody else despite not knowing what's going on?
And what was Kei's role in the prank, was she supposed to scare the new girls in some way? 'cause if so seems the hosts came in too early to end the prank

I think the 12th girls copied everyone, fell down, thus rendering Kei san's
entrance as non effective....
However they screamed louder after Kei showed her real
face, which added to the hilarity....

Putting this here because it involves more than one member and I figured it'd be better than cross-posting it in their individual threads in case people wanted to/were able to shed some light on it.

So apparently there's rumors going around that Ayuyu and Sakura aren't getting along right now? Can anyone confirm if that is what this clip is about?

Quote from: simplemindead from H!O
If it was a slow news day for the paper, must've been a slow day for the news/entertainment infotainment show "5ji ni Muchuu" as well—which ranked the article at #7. Here's the whole talk part for the article. I had fun, earlier, circlejerking and reading comments about this for a while. If no one translates the article, I might do it.
 
Ishida's last blog post talked a little bit on the newspaper article. She declared that in 2015 as well, they're(Daasaku) in top form! ^_^ Then, under the picture, she noted that it's not a recent picture as there is no recent picture of them. XD By the way, the picture she used was not a 2-shot and had Iikubo in it as well. ^^;

Serious question, May I address the elephant in the room: grads?

Do you think high frequency of it benefits or is detrimental to Morning Musume? Because even within the J-idol industry, Morning Musume's frequency is one of the highest among others

Granted, Morning Musume used to have older girls joining, so they reach an older age earlier, but let's not go into Aichan, Gaki, Reina, or Sayu; even Kaori's & Yossy's 7 year tenures were the exception!
Of course there's a worse alternative: hiatus like Berryz, because somehow the industry perceives J-idols "must have a short shelf life than a career"

Whilst most Musumes' stints average 4-5 years, consider:
C-ute are still going strong after 8 years with only 2 departures;
Two AKB48 members who have been there since the group was founded: Takamina graduates this december, & 26-year-old Kojima is still with the group
So is current AKB member Kashiwagi Yuki, who auditioned for Morning Musume's 8th generation; had she joined with Mitsui, she'd have graduated too last year by the latest!

Thing is: Morning Musume 15 now consists of 9th-12th gen girls; I'd hope there'll be no grads till at least 2017/8, but do anybody think that'll feasibly happen if Up-front's policy is graduating members just for the sake of 'must-have-'em-grads'?
Title: Re: The Morning Musume Thread (モーニング娘。)
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on February 13, 2015, 07:22:02 PM
Idk I always felt the grads, even if originally suggested by Tsunku/production, were because the girls also themselves felt it was time to move on... How else could we have had members that stayed for like 7-10 years :lol: I don't have any numbers to back this up but I def feel that the number of years that members stay has increased significantly and I think that might continue, because.. maybe some members used to see Momusu as a route to doing something else (even as recently as Koharu), but now it feels as though Morning Musume IS the goal... The reason why girls join the Kenshuusei and train for years. It's not the same as when members like Goto or even Nacchi graduated to continue with a solo career... These days when members grad MM they mostly do it to do something completely different, even disappear (see: Eri). Reina's band is more an exception these days than the rule. Basically if Momusu is the goal as an entertainer/idol, there is no need to graduate until it really starts to feel like the person needs something else than singing and dancing. And that's not because of UF*, it's life.

I don't think Aika is a good point of comparison for "if Kashiwagi Yuki was in MM she would have graduated, too"; we don't know that and can't know that. Any other 8th gen member than Aika might have been the new leader after Sayu, like if Kikka was chosen instead of Aika maybe she would now be the leader? I don't think anyone at UF* is checking their watch every 5 min for someone to graduate; I think it's more organic than that. There's no reason for anyone to graduate at this time, unless they want to do something else, and in that case it's not UF* graduating members, it's members graduating themselves.

JUST MY THOUGHTS!

Maria - Sayu's pink
Akane - Reina's blue
Ogata - white
Miki - purple

And if they're wrong my source was wrong. Ha.

Miki being purple tho, why u do this to me, I guess she's destined to be my fav 12th gen whether I like it or not! (Eripon used to be purple)

Post by: JFC on February 16, 2015, 07:22:23 PM
Hey Nacchi had white too
Not really, or at least, she did not have it as an official member color. Fans did do the "sea of white" glowsticks at Nacchi's grad concert, but that was because it was pretty common knowledge amongst the fandom that she liked white.  TPTB at H!P/Up-Front didn't start giving official colors to MM members until after Nacchi had graduated the group. I remember first really noticing them around the time when Aika joined the group back in 2006 or 2007, and we here were in the JPH!P IRC and we were all like "Oh, both Yossi and Aika have purple".  The only offical "member color" that Nacchi has had was when Dream Morning Musume was formed, and for that she was given red, which in Japan is considered to be a symbol of the "ace" of a group.


And how will fans get brown/chocolate glowsticks?
Basics of "supply and demand" in business. Up-Front knows/would know/should know that as long as they're willing pay to have them made, the fans will be willing to pay to buy them.  Besides, I was only using chocolate as an example. It's not like I was actually wanting her to have that colour.  :lol:

In any case, I still stand by my statements that white is a rather bland/boring colour (even if/even though it's easy to do on a glowstick), and that Haachin should have a better/more interesting one. There was one point where they had 2 shades of yellow amongst the members (one lighter and one darker, similar to what they do now for the greens, blues, and pinks), they could always bring back that second yellow for her. If it does turn out that they're going to give her white, then whatever, what's done is done and it's not like we fans can protest or do anything about it; but when you have a girl that's willing to post as many "funny-face" selfies as she does, she really should have something other than just your standard wife-beater colour.
:yep:

So we have obviously Eripon, & seems in Momusu prettiness is inheritable: Haruna has got Sayu's  :twothumbs

But as for hourglass #3 aka second girl from the left; is that still-14-year-old Makino?

Billboard Japan Interview Translation

Quote
--First I’d like to ask about the end of Morning Musume ’14. When Michishige Sayumi graduated at the concert of November 26th, what kind of day was it for the members seeing her off?
 
Oda: That day, after the concert, Michishige-san alone stayed behind in the dressing room, and all the other members went home first. So, when we were about to leave we’d say to Michishige-san, “Otsukaresama deshita!!”… I wonder how many times we said it?
 
Sato: We said it many, many times.
 
Oda: No one wanted to go home, so we just kept saying “Otsukaresama deshita!” again and again, and then Michishige-san said, “It’s as if we were going to meet again tomorrow like usual, isn’t it-“. So we, too, while thinking “It’s like we’re going to meet tomorrow-“… we parted.
 
Sato: That's why, even when tomorrow came, everyone still felt like "Michishige-san is still here".
 
--That she might just be doing Morning Musume work somewhere else.
 
Oda: It's not like we always work with all members together, I myself had radio work the next day in a group of 3, so it felt like everyone was just working separately, including Michishige-san. But then you'd realize, "Ah, we haven't met in how many months now...".
 
Sato: The curtain kept stretching until it closed. But since our feelings had no closure, the curtain ended up stretching further and further. In reality, that curtain was already closed, and a new curtain was opening, but for us it felt like the previous curtain just kept stretching on forever. It didn't even feel like we were working with the 12th gen after 11/27, so we really spent the rest of 2014 with a really weird feeling. Before we noticed we'd become Morning Musume '15 already.
 
--How did the 12th gen members feel watching Michishige Sayumi's graduation concert?
 
Ogata: I only spent about 2 months together with Michishige-san in Morning Musume, but I felt like it had been such an important time. Since we only had 2 months, we didn't get to talk much, and we even took pictures together only about 2 or 3 times, but when we watched Michishige-san's graduation concert from backstage the 12th gen members were all crying. She was really cool, and I even lost confidence thinking "Can I really make it in Morning Musume from now on?", but even more so I felt like "I'll do my best!".
 
Nonaka: The concert left a really deep impression, I was also watching from backstage the whole time, and at some scenes like when Fukumura-san ran towards Michishige-san, I cried really hard. At the end when the members said their messages to Michishige-san one by one too, though it's not like I've acted as a member of Morning Musume for long, I'd always been at a position of watching Morning Musume, so at that time I thought "Is Michishige-san really leaving? It has to be a lie?", I couldn't believe it. Even after it ended, when I thought "From tomorrow onwards I can't meet Michishige-san anymore" I couldn't help but feel dumbfounded... but from there on Morning Musume '15 is starting again, I could feel it for real from that moment on.
 
--After that grand graduation concert, what did the 1 month-and-bit before starting activities as Morning Musume '15 feel like?
 
Sato: I thought, "Is it fine like this?". After Michishige-san graduated the members didn't gather to talk, nor decided "This is what to make Morning Musume into!" or anything. I wound up thinking, "Couldn't we have done a bit more in the few months before Michishige-san graduated?", or "Shouldn't we have treasured that time more?"... but part of me myself felt like "I want to move like this, but I can't move properly" too... fuu!
 
Oda: Your air came out (laugh)
 
Everyone: (laugh)
 
Sato: I thought, the things Michishige-san brought all the way to this point, we are letting it become smaller and smaller. If I were to compare it to that day's concert, even though Michishige-san extended the stage all the way to the center stage for us, even though she'd brought Morning Musume this far, now we can't get as far as to the center stage anymore, I feel that a lot.
 
--Oda-san, how did you spend that 1 month-and-a-bit?
 
Oda: At the time, we did a lot of activities as the 9 '14 members. 12th gen had already joined, but the latest single was a '14 release, so naturally we did a lot of events related to that with the members that were in '14. So, when we'd meet in the corridor in front of the dressing rooms, we often went "Eh? Isn't one person missing? ...Ah, that's right" like... it was a hazy feeling. It was really hazy wasn't it?
 
Sato: That's right, it was a really ha~zy sensation. There was even a period where Michishige-san and 12th gen were working at the same time, so part of me felt like '15 had both 12th gen and Michishige-san. So it felt like "Michishige-san is just taking a break right now". It was really like a cloud.
 
--Like a cloud?
 
Oda: A feeling like there's no gravity.
 
--Personally, I felt like during the Michishige Sayumi graduation concert you burned out completely for a moment.
 
Oda: There was that.
 
Sato: The road disappeared.
 
Oda: You know how when going to school sometimes you think "I don't like school-",  or you're sleepy in the morning and you think "I wanna skip-", but when the graduation ceremony comes there's a lot of things that make you think, "I should have done more!", it's a similar feeling to that. "'14 sure was happy" "The environment with Michishige-san around sure was fun", that really sunk in.
 
Sato: Of course now is also fun, but it's a different kind of fun. If we'd call the current relationship between members "good work colleagues", '14 was "family". It felt like home. There's time separating 12th gen from 11th gen, and 10th gen is even further away. 9th gen is even further further away, but Michishige-san united all those members who were far apart and got them together as one. But even if we want to do the same for 12th gen, we don't know how to, I feel like we should go out all together for a takoyaki party and such like when Michishige-san was around, but 12th gen are still like "Sorry!" "Of course!", and I don't know how to connect with them!
 
--Then, I guess 12th gen should just invite you themselves already. "Senpai, I wanna have a takoyaki party".
 
Ogata & Nonaka: Ehh-! (laugh)
 
Oda: For an instance, when leader Fukumura-san contacts us saying "Let's do this tomorrow", 9/10/11th gen say "Got it" but the four 12th gen members will reply with "Understood" (laugh)
--That's stiff! So they're still being very formal, it seems.
 
Ogata: That's right. As a regular high school student, I didn't know what to say in those circumstances, then 12th gen Makino Maria-chan told us "At times like this you should reply with 'Understood'", so since then the four of us have been using "Understood". (laugh)

Sato:
Then, if we tell them "We're just speaking normally, you know?", they reply like "I see, I'm very sorry." (laugh) It makes me think, how did Michishige-san soften her kouhai?
 
--You're saying Maachan, who broke the senpai walls in one go one after another with Tanaka Reina, doesn't know what to do when faced with kouhai?
 
Sato: It's hard when they're younger! (laugh)
 
Oda: Also, I feel like the presence of generation mates is really big in a lot of ways. Since I joined alone, I only had my senpai to establish communication with, you see. So I think I was able to naturally get close to them, but since 12th gen have other in the same position as them from the start, they end up going in that direction. I guess they just end up going back to where the other 3 are no matter what.
 
--It's a path that most past generations have treaded, isn't it.
 
Sato: That's right. 10th gen also stayed with 10th gen at the beginning so I can't say anything but, but my feeling of wanting to soften them no matter what has been really strong, ever since we became '15.
 
--At the Morning Musume '15 reveal performance in New Year's, despite the situation of Suzuki Kanon being absent due to a ligament rupture, you developed a scaled-up performance. It looked perfectly put together to me, but how did you feel about it?
 
Oda: I thought, "12th gen is impressive".
 
Sato: We of 10th gen joined at Pyoco Pyoco Ultra, then we had Ren'ai Hunter and went through One Two Three, Wakuteka Take a chance, Help me!!, raising the level of the formation dance little by little, so I didn't think 12th gen would be able to do it right off the bat. I thought it would be hard. "Even Maa can't do it sometimes, it's definitely impossible". But 12th gen kept saying "It's fine", and when we held the actual reveal performance, it really was fine. So I thought, "are they geniuses!". I thought it was amazing they could do TIKI BUN and such.
 
Nonaka: I struggled with TIKI BUN the most. The formation is super hard, and we took it as it was already complete and added the four 12th gen members giving it a new shape, so at times I couldn't figure out how or where should I move. But I feel that I got used to it bit by bit as we kept doing it.
 
Sato: I just think they should showcase more individuality. When I was injured, I had an opportunity to look objectively at the current Morning Musume. 9/10/11th gen still haven't reached Michishige-san's level, but 12th gen, even though they're new members, it's like they aren't standing out, or are losing out somehow. They're still hiding themselves. Since they aren't showing all of themselves yet, they should barge into the front, they should go farther to the front than Sayashi-san, I know there's senpai-kouhai relations, but I just thought they should let out a bit mroe aura. I'd want them to do TIKI BUN and such with a more grand feeling, like saying "Look, I'm right here!", I really feel that I want them to do it with a feeling of "Fans, Look at me! I'm here, don't you see!" "I'm a star!".
 
--What do you think? Hearing that advice just now.
 
Ogata: I'm a star... huh.
 
Sato: "Excuse me, but I'm in Morning Musume!" "I'm here, do you have a problem with that?" I want them more of that level of feelings. Makino-chan and such has been coming to the front but, I still feel there's a lot of times when she loses motivation. In that aspect, Oda-chan had a "Look, I'm singing right here!" kind of feeling right from the beginning. She was really imposing even in front of the cameras. And since 12th gen has four of you, I just really feel like it would be good to let out a bit more of that.
 
--Within HelloPro, I have the impression that newbies in Angerme and Country Girls are also going all out towards the front, so I'd like to see Morning Musume '15 new members working without giving in too.
 
Sato: That's right.
 
--And Morning Musume '15 which has taken off together with the new 12th gen members has been having activities for about 4 months now, so how is the situation currently? As a whole.
 
Oda: I think there's a good atmosphere. The age gap tightened a lot, didn't it. Michishige-san also had 12 years of career time, so of course that leaves a big hole, but now the 13 of us are taking on the hole together. How can I say this? I think we have different goals from '14.
 
Sato: Michishige-san would convey her will to all the members, "I want to achieve this, I want to cross over past it, I'll leave it behind me", so in order to reach that goal the whole group united as a single mass. But right now the goals aren't for the group as a whole, each person has their own scope, so it's like the balls are being thrown in every direction. That's why even if someone's ball hits their target, with just one person's power the target will just reply with "That's not enough power, you know".
 
Oda: During '14, Michishige-san would run ahead, and the 9 of us would chase after her. Right now each member is trying to achieve someone, and for me that's definitely singing. Because I feel like, "It won't get through like this". So like that, I think everyone has something about which they're feeling "I must do my best at this" right now.
 
Sato: But I'm thinking of nothing but bringing Morning Musume '15 together, so I feel like the members are all acting alone. Even though we need to get the rose Michishige-san gave each of us back together...
 
Oda: I think everyone might be acting like rivals in the good sense.
 
--Does that mean you aren't coming together as one?
 
Sato: We get along well, but there's nothing like "Let's all gather"...
 
Oda: I don't think it's the same as when it was '14. Whether for the same 9 (9/10/11th gen), or for the same 13 (9/10/11/12th gen).
 
--And that's the issue at hand for Maachan right now, right? How to work that out from now on.
 
Sato: I'm thinking of nothing besides putting the rose back together. For the rose that Michishige-san gave all of us including 12th gen, the rose she gave us that was supposed to become one, if we and 12th gen just keep holding on to our respective pieces they will just get blown away by the wind, it's like that.
 
Oda: If you compare what Michishige-san gave us to flowers, we have to make a bouquet out of them. But right now, it's not that everyone's hiding theirs, but since they're thinking "This is definitely mine", it's hard to put all 13 together. Isn't that right?
 
Sato: Yes. All I think about is how to complete it. When Michishige-san was around, after the 10 of us had a performance we would look at the fruit box and say "I wanted to have done that" or "Since this is our goal I feel like we should do things like this" and the like, to be specific, things like "We want to outgrow the Morning Musume of the past". Towards things like that, we would feel "I, Masaki, want to aim for that too" "I want to aim for it to", everyone would agree with it, but lately we don't even peck at the fruit together. We'd confirm something with the coach, teach something to 12th gen, and since everyone's caught in a commotion I get that it's hard, but... I want to peck at the fruit with everyone a bit more.
 
Oda: Right now everyone's working separately on their honing their skills, and it's about how much you can polish that 1/13. I'm the same as well, and I think that's also an important thing, but it's with all the put together that's it'll become 13/13, or it might even become 26/13, you see.
 
--I'm looking forward to see how this develops from now on. Now, Maachan just talked about her impression of 12th gen, but reversely, what is 12th gen's impression of Maachan?

Ogata: Sato-san is a genius.
 
Everyone: Oh-!
 
Ogata: Like the metaphors she uses to talk...
 
Oda: It's unintelligible, isn't it.
 
Everyone: (laugh)
 
Oda: Probably, it all makes sense inside Sato-san's mind.
 
Ogata: I think that sort of thing is amazing. It's like she's not human.
 
Sato: Hey, I'm human-!!
 
Ogata: (laugh). I think she's really a genius. Someone who can do anything.
 
Oda: She's really a genius. And Sato-san hasn't realized her own genius. Just now, she was referring to Morning Musume as a rose, but for her that is totally natural. But looking from outside, you think "Wow, what a romantic person", don't you. She also compares life to an equation, and says really splendid things about it. But to Sato-san that's also just a normal subject. Also, I'm really jealous of her superior sense for music, she's even been teaching the 12th gen about rhythm, teaching them how to catch the 16 beat, and lately she's even been doing a lot of song mixing, making BGM and the like, composing and writing song lyrics, she can do anything. As someone who loves singing, I think that there can't be a body this wonderful!
 
Sato: Body!?
 
--That there is not be another creature so wonderful.
 
Sato: Creature (laugh).
 
Oda: There's no other living thing built like this, you know? If I were built like Sato-san, I feel like I'd want to make use of it to the maximum! I'm really envious.
 
--What does Nonaka-san think?
 
Nonaka: She was talking about "bringing everyone together" just now, and she's been helping 12th gen with dancing, and has been teaching me a lot. Up to the really small details of the dance. So, Since I really love Sato-san's dancing, I want to become like that too!
 
Sato: Even though I'm so bad at it?
 
Nonaka: I really love Sato-san's dancing. It's my goal. And, I also think Sato-san's words are amazing, to the point that one day I'd like her to write some sort of poem collection, and make it into a book. If Sato-san were to release a book, I'd definitely buy many copies (laugh).
 
--Maachan, you are being very higly praised. A person who once introduced themselves as, "I'm Sato Masaki a.k.a. Sato Masaki".
 
Everyone: (laugh)
 
Sato: That was because i didn't know what "a.k.a." meant, so for the time being I thought it would be fine as long as I said "a.k.a." (laugh).
 
--How do you feel that there are people who'd call you a genius now?
 
Sato: I don't want to be called "stupid", when I took the Morning Musume auditions too I was told "If you shut up you'll pass. Don't talk", so I tried really hard, really hard to be as quiet as possible, and after passing I still stayed quiet even around 10th gen for a while. But when I did anything I would get scolded by the manager. Even when I introduced myself as "Sato Masaki a.k.a. Sato Masaki", I could see the manager there with a face that said "She's done it-" (laugh) ! When I saw that, I got nervous, thinking "Eh, did I say something weird just now? I said my name, I said I was 10th gen, I even used the 'a.k.a.'!", since it seemed I'd said something weird again. So when kouhai joined in, since I still didn't want to be thought of as "stupid", I tried my best not to talk...
 
Oda: But both 12th gen and I knew what kind of person you were, you know. Since we joined Morning Musume because we were fans.
 
Everyone: (laugh)
 
Ogata: Actually, at first she wouldn't talk to us at all. I thought she seemed like the most distant one (laugh), but lately she talks to us a lot.
 
--And now Morning Musume '15's new single "Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru/Yuugure wa Ameagari/Ima Koko Kara" has been released. For 12th gen members this is your debut single, so what kind of work do you think it is?
 
Ogata: The 3 songs each have a different image, even the dance is cool for one, graceful for another, and energetic for another, and understanding how to adapt our facial expressions was also really hard, Like this song has a cute feeling, or this song has a cool feeling, they're all different. So, I studied by watching the senpai's expressions.
 
Nonaka: Since 9th gen's debut song was Maji desu ka ska! and 10th gen's debut song was Pyoco Pyoco Ultra, I was wondering if we'd also get a debut song with a fresh kind of feeling, but it was a seriously cool, seriously bittersweet kind of single, so I thought "I wonder if I can do it?", and felt really nervous. The dance and the use of expressions and such were really hard but, since all 3 songs are wonderful, I feel really honored to have gotten to debut with such a wonderful single.
 
--Oda-san is standing in the center for the Ima Koko Kara PV. Were you happy?
 
Oda: I have nothing but gratitude for that formation, and I realize that it was an overlapping of coincidences. The choreography for Ima Koko Kara had already been uploaded on Youtube previously, you know. A video with Pretty Cure dancing. I'm confident that I had remembered that dance better than anyone. So, during dance classes, I was also helping teach the other members, so I think, maybe the dance coach saw that, and decided me to put me in a good position? Or, maybe I just had a singing part with 12th gen, and got put in the center because of seniority? But, I was really so happy. It's been since my debut song Help me!! that I get to stand in the center. That's why I thought, "I must treasure this song, I must be thankful". It's not a "Woohoo!" kind of thing. Of course I'm happy, but the "Thank you so much!" feeling is stronger. Also, since Ima Koko Kara has the sort of optimism and cheerfulness to be sung by students on graduation ceremonies, so I'd like to sing it with care.
 
--In the singles ever since Oda-san's joining, so far you hadn't gotten to sing such a majorly Pop song yet, isn't it.
 
Oda: That's right. It's the first time I sang an idol-like song for a single. I hadn't ever sang anything other than EDM, so I'm really happy I got to sing an idol-like song as main for the first time.
 
--On the Yuugure wa Ameagari PV, Maachan stands out when you suddenly do solo air-piano. How did you feel about that?
 
Sato: At first, when I asked the dance coach "With what kind of feeling should I do it?", they said "Hm. You just need to play it." (laugh). But afterwards they told me, "Shouldn't you play the piano with a, come on 12th gen! kind of feeling? Like, watch me and follow after me! that kind of feeling". But after I play the piano, the four 12th gen members dance in front of me. So, in the end I did it with a "Itterasshai!" kind of feeling (laugh).
 
--You saw them off instead.
 
Sato: I saw them off! Like seeing my little sisters off. Oda-chan is my kouhai but she's older, so apart from Duu I thought of everyone as my older sisters. Everyone. But for 12th gen I thought, I wonder if I have to become an older sister? It's the same in Seishun Kozou wa Naiteiru, of course in Yuugure wa Ameagari, and in Ima Koko Kara as well. Also, I think Yuugure wa Ameagari is a message from Tsunku-san, that Michishige-san's time has passed, but that we have no choice but to build a new time now. We can't waste it. Like ,"You guys need to lead the 12th gen now". So I'm singing it with that image, and putting all of those thoughts into the air-piano. Personally, rather than an orange aura, I try to let out a golden aura. Also, at the end, when everyone makes a circle around Masaki and spins around, that's not playing around.
 
--I know that (laugh).
 
Oda: They wouldn't think everyone would just play around right at the end (laugh).
 
Sato: And then everyone comes close to encircle me! That's why when it ends, I'm thinking, "All of my older and younger sisters are here, Masaki is so happy!". Like, "Thank you, for being by Maa's side."
 
--So, it's a tremendous important song. For Maachan.
 
Sato: For me, it's a song where everyone likes Maa.
 
--When I first saw that air-piano, the episode of Maachan making music at home suddenly came to mind. If I'm not mistaken Oda-san talked about it in her radio. Since when did Maachan become a house-recording girl?
 
Sato: From quite a while back. I've been doing it ever since I joined Morning Musume.
 
Oda: Ever since she installed the app in her iPad she's became capable of doing anything, she's even done recording.
 
Sato: Hahaha! That's right!
 
Oda: Sato-san would click and go, chicchicchicchi... at the same tempo she's add the drums, the piano, the guitar, my voice, and made a song like "Fantasy ga Hajimaru (Sato Masaki version) feat.Oda Sakura"! And we recorded it in a moving car, even.
 
Sato: In the middle there's a car horn sound going "Pu-!" (laugh).
 
Ogata: Also, when 12th gen was struggling with the rhythm of Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru, Sato-san made a CD with a Sato Masaki version where the rhythm was easier to catch. When I heard that Sato-san made it I thought "Eh!?".
 
Oda: At first, Sato-san was asked by the manager. "Please bring a sound source as soon as possible for 12th gen to catch the 16 beat more easily". Then she showed up the next day with one she'd made herself!
 
--Can't everyone dance and sing together to a song Maachan created? In the future.
 
Oda: A lot happens in life~♪
 
Sato: Hahahaha!
 
--What was that? That song just now!
 
Oda: It's called Jinsei wa Iroiro Aru♪ ("There's All Sorts of Things in Life")
 
Sato: When Fukumura-san became leader and was going "no way, no way!", I imagines Fukumura-san's face and did my best to write it, but I'm too embarassed to let Fukumura-san listen to it so I can't show it to her! The only one who's heard it is Oda-chan. I show let her listen to everything,
 
--Looking at you 2 even from the beginning, you seem close. What does Maachan think?
 
Sato: Maachan thanks that! (clings to Oda Sakura's left arm)
 
--You linked arms (laugh).
 
Sato: Maachan thinks that we're like twins. She's an older sister, but a twin. That's why I've been telling her "we can just speak informally!", but she says "That's impossible. I don't want to." Because even if she's an older sister, she's a kouhai. That's why, my head really spins round and round! But we quarrel about everything. It's a strange relationship, isn't it.
 
Oda: I'm the kind that can't hate people, so I'm fine no matter what I'm told. That's why we don't hide anything from each other, and things never get sour between us.
 
Sato: Oda-chan is really weird. Sometimes I've said something really mean to Oda-chan, and even if I say "If Masaki were told that same thing I would definitely snap!", she still says "I don't think anything of it".
 
Oda: That's not it! I know a lot of good aspects of Sato-san's, and I like her so much that just being told something kinda bad wouldn't make me dislike her...
 
Sato: Ho... Hoho... Hohohoho!!
 
--Maachan, you're getting too embarassed (laugh).
 
Oda: I like this about her. I look up to her. I respect her. When I think that way, just being told something small, it's really not enough to make you dislike someone, isn't it. Thinking that way... that's why it's fun!
 
Everyone: (laugh)
 
--In conclusion, it's fun. That's good. I guess that's what's most important.
 
Sato: We are really enjoying life to the fullest.
 
--If Maachan says so you must really be having a lot of fun (laugh). Does 12th gen feel like they'll be friends like this too?
 
Ogata: Yes. I can already by my honest self around other 12th gen members.
 
Nonaka: But among the senpai I still withhold a bit...
 
Sato: Still!?
 
Ogata: We talk about it with each other. "Be more straightforward in front of the senpai too-"
 
Oda: I feel like I'm closest to the 12th gen. That's why ever since they've joined I've been starting conversation with them a lot. But I wonder if they're still holding back?
 
Nonaka: 9th gen-san, 10th gen-san and 11th gen-san's joining times are 1 year apart from each other, but 12th gen is further away, so I feel really nervous of joining in the circle with my senpai, and I'm not showing my true self yet, or rather... I am doing better than before though!
 
Sato: But when Haga-chan joined Oda-chan went straight to hug her, right. I was surprised.
 
Oda: I've been friends with Akane-chan since my time as a kenshuusei. Maria also took the 11th gen auditions together with me.
 
Sato: Is that how it is-.
 
Ogata: Oda-san was the first senpai to take a picture with me. On the day of the Budoukan concert where 12th gen was revealed she came to our dressing room, and took it with me. I was so excited for it to be uploaded on Oda-san's blog that I kept thinking "I wonder if it's there yet? Is it there yet-?" and when it was uploaded I got super excited like "Waa-!" and immediately saved the picture.
 
Nonaka: For me too, Oda-san was the first member I spoke to one-on-one!
 
--Oda-san, it seems you're alread a key-person.
 
Oda: I had no kouhai for 2 years, and was in an environment where I could only use formal speech, and I was the only one who was in a position of having to change that, so that's part of the reason why I started conversation, but honestly I just thought "These are the girls we'll be working together with from now on" "They're cute~ I want to get along with them" (laugh).

--I would like to start on the conclusion soon, so does Morning Musume '15 have any set goals?

 
Sato: First of all, to suceed in the first tour with the 12th gen, make the fans happy, and have them think "Today's concert sure was fun!". We are happy as long as the fans are satisfied. At the same time, we get to be here because there are fans who choose to like Morning Musume '15, so I think I'd like to express our gratitude for that.
 
--To think Maachan has become the sort of older sister who can say things like that. On our interview 2 years ago, you talked about the senpai who punctured a hole into a ball at school, lied about not heating up your baths for no reason, and before long it was over already (laugh).
 
Oda: That's legendary.
 
Sato: Ahahaha! Since I graduated middle school, and my high school entrance ceremony was just this week, I have nothing to talk about from school you know.
 
--I didn't mean that I wanted you to talk about school (laugh).
 
Oda: The topic didn't come up with once.
 
Everyone: (laugh)

From FB:

Before performing for the first time their new song "One and Only" during the 10th Anniversary of the TV show "J-MELO", UP-FRONT LINK had the chance to ask some questions to each Morning Musume。'15 members in the backstage.

Q: In Morning Musume。 history, there were several performances in the world so now that you have this new song in English, what is your new goal concerning overseas?

Quote from: forgetmenots from JPLOP
I was able to get selected again and went to the 3rd Event today. They did Bon Kyu Girl to my delight, and the Kyun Kyun game, where they all had to confess to Duu and she would pick the winner. It was hands down the most entertaining serial card event so far. I laughed so much @_@. I'll update a full report of the MC when I get back home. :D

EDIT:

 
Report

This was the first time I went to 3rd performance of the Serial Card Event. Usually I pick to go to the first one, but I knew that I would have work today until at least 1:30, possibly until 3:00, so I wanted to be safe rather than sorry. I do think there is an advantage to seeing the last performance, though. By this time, the girls are plainly a bit loopy from working all day, and this increased the entertainment value of the performance :mikihead: Because there were so few when I went to my first MM concert back during the Chance tour, it's still amazing to see female fans making up almost 50% of the audience nowadays. Also, today's amazing wota sighting: there was an Ayumi Wota who was carrying around a watermelon plush.

On to the first MC. It was announced that the game would be confessions to make Kudou Haruka go "Kyuun~". She would pick the best one to be the winner. Each confession had me laughing uncontrollably. Many of the girls fell to the floor laughing and Haruna was sighted crying from so much laughing. I wish I could have videotaped these confessions and put subtitles up, but I'll try my best to convey the amusement through words (though I'm sure I'll fail). Here they are, in the approximate order they were done in:

Nonaka: Nonaka played at being highly nervous and almost made a dramatic soliloquy out of her confession, talking to herself as she tried to get the courage to say it. The first time she tries, she ends up saying "Duu I... I... sukiyaki is delicious isn't it?" She then paces, trying to psyche herself. She waffled about maybe confessing English insetad, but no, Haruka would not undestand her then, so she better just get on with it in Japanese... and then she finally gets the words "I love you Kudou-san!" out.

Zukki: Zukki sets the scene by saying she is a girl in love with Duu. After the countdown to start, she proceeds to break out into a love song and serenades Du, much to everyone's amusement. I didn't catch what song it was unfortunately, but it was very well performed and I do love it when Zukki randomly breaks out into song.

Ogata: Haachin announces that there is no scene to set. She then tells Duu to close "his" eyes for five seconds, cueing "Woo~"s from the audience and the girls due to that being the classic line that leads into the "confession via kiss" method. Haachin then backs away. As she begins the countdown from five, all of us burst out into laughter. As she says each number, she takes a step forward and adopts increasingly amusing weird poses. At "1" she has her arms and leg up in a crane position and her face contorted into a beautiful hengao. This is the image Haruka opens her eyes up to, to everyone's great amusement. When pressed later about how she hadn't taken the confession seriously, Haachin looks confused and says "Isn't that how you're supposed to confess your love to someone? That's how I'd do it." Eripon comments that that kind of confession is more likely to get the guy to start running from you than fall in love back.

Harunan: Harunan tells Duu to just be herself before starting. She walks up to Duu and goes "I got you the newest Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Game~~" and then silence... She was met by crickets from everyone else. I'm guessing she attempted to just plain bribe Haruka, lol.

Sakura: Sakura starts out by going "A~sa~da~" and speaking to him as Rosewood. I miss what exactly she alludes to, but it's done in a very dominant way of speaking and it has Haruna going "What does she mean by that~?" Haruka answers this "dominant Rosewood" submissively however, going "Of course, Rosewood-sama", causing the other girls to squeal.

Eripon: Eripon sets the scene by saying that she is going to do this confession as a guy. This immediately confuses Haruka who goes "Wait aren't I supposed to be the guy in this?" Eripon just tells her to go with it and then directs her to go to the opposite side of the stage and start walking towards her.

The two of them casually walk towards each other, as they pass by, Eripon stops Haruka and starts saying some classic Japanese pick-up lines a.k.a. attempts to "Nampa" her. As Haruka tries to shake Eri-boy's interest away, Eripon suddenly stops and goes: "Oh god! You're a dude! Oh man, I'm so sorry" and then runs off. Not quite a confessions, but an amusing scene nonetheless.

Maria: Maria sets the stage of them being club members. She is handing out drinks to everyone. When she hands Duu "his" drink, she leans over and whispers in his ear, "Your drink is the only one I too a sip from <3".

Akane: When her name was called, she got really nervous and bashful. When she finally went up to Duu, she told her to just be herself. Akane then takes in a deep breath and goes: "Oniichan~!". She runs up to "him" playfully, says that she loves him and then hangs onto him/hugs him. As soon as the scene ends, she ends up running off to the side in pure, adorable, embarrassment, and then running back to her spot in line, into Nonaka's arms who pats her on the head.

Ayumi:
Ayumi tells Duu to just be herself. She then comes up to Duu slowly, looking exhausted, stops in front of "him" and carefully lays her forehead down on "his" shoulder. "Just for a bit.." she says, and after a moment she pushes herself off. "I'm sorry. I'm okay now-" Duu cuts her off by openeing up "his" arms and tells Ayumi to lean back down on "him".

Riho: Riho sets the stage by saying that she and Duu were alerady dating and that they were on the verge of breaking up. It was highly dramatic. Riho tells Duu not to leave her, that if "he" left her she'd be all alone (I think she was cleverly throwing some of Duu's Lilium lines back at her), before clutching to "him" and telling Duu that she loves him.

Maachan: Maachan also tells Duu to just be herself, and that the scene is that the two of them have been fighting (Haruka replies she is totally up for a scene like that with Maachan). Maachan runs up calling out "Duu! Duu! I'm sorry! Let's be friends I again, I love~~~~~ Duu!" She then hugs Duu tightly, end scene. Unknown to the girls and the audience then, Maachan gets angry over something and walks back to her spot in line muttering angrily. Pretty much she "Tsundere'd" Duu in the end XD.

Mizuki: Mizuki sets no scene and instead just opens her arms out and calls "Duu, come here." Duu just stands there, an obvious battle of dominance beginning. When Duu doesn't move, Mizuki wavers not, and just repeats herself in a firmer but still gentle tone. Duu starts walking towards her reluctantly, but when "he's" a step away from her, stops, and in a last stand opens her own arms out and tries to tell Mizuki to come over to "him" instead.

Mizuki just takes one step back and once again calls out, "Duu, come here." Duu's will breaks and takes another step, allowing Muzuki to take her in her arms in a hug.

---

By this time, the girls need a moment to compose themselves. Zukki, Harunan and Maachan have been on the floor for most of them, laughing so hard. Duu wanders off to the side, to discuss her decision with the staff. Maachan thinks Ayumi did the best. Haachin thinks that she did pretty well, which the others dispute pretty quickly. She tries to insist that confessions such as that truly exist, but the other girls reply that there is no confession like that out there in the world.

Haruka comes back out then and the lights go dark and the spotlight starts pacing around and the winner is...

...

...

Akane!!

It's then announced that the reward for winning is that Haruka will give the winner a "Kyun" moment of their own. Akane practically melts at this announcements and goes bright red. Haruka is looking pretty smug. Akane is finally coaxed out to the front. Haruka comes up to her. She first turns to the audience and makes us promise not to make any noise no matter what she does, when we agree she tells Akane to close her eyes. She leans towards Akane, goes to reach for her chin and then stops "Hey, close your eyes." Akane had "faked" closing her eyes, too nervous to have actually done it. With her eyes fully closed now, Haruka takes her chin, leans in some more and then stop. "Ah wait, we should do this in private. Come see me afterwards, okay?" Sending Akane reeling and spinning... literally.

With that the MC was finished and we went into the next three songs.

Chance Chance Boogie was really well done. Solo lines were pretty distrubuted. Zukki, Eripon, Harunan, Riho and Mizuki all had one... I think Oda and Maachan as well. The girls looked like they were having an absolute blast dancing. I kind of freaked out when I realized the 4th song was Bon Kyu! Bon Kyu! Bomb Girl! as I really like that song. This was front girl heavy (front girls being Riho, Mizuki, Ayumi, Oda, Maachan). Riho sounded really good singing this, it was nice hearing her voice a lot, I'd forgotten how much I like it.

Then it was time for the Goodbye MC.

First up to give their thoughts on the night was Akane. But instead of focusing on the "Haruka Kyun Incident" she starts off by putting her hand in a "C" shape over her right eye and going "Akane-chin desu~~" in an affected voice. She then gives a slightly cooky speech in this voice about octopuses (I think she was saying there were many octopuses in the audience) and then about Takoyaki (I think this was in relation to us being Octopuses because were from Osaka and Takoyaki, but I only half understood her :mikihead: ), this all ended in the fact that whatever it was she was talking about was happy and she also was incredibly happy right now (probably because of "Haruka Kyun Incident"). Though I hadn't understood some of it, it seemed she'd pulled off a really entertaining ending speech and between that and how the game went, I feel like today she made huge strides in establishing her character and standing out.

The next to raise her hand to speak was Ayumi. She is quite for a moment and then leans down and puts a c-shaped hand over her right eye and goes "Ayumi-chin desu~" in the same kind of voice Akane used. She then proclaims to be kidding. Embarrassingly, I've forgotten what she talked about XD... Sorry Daiishi. I think there was a Suberi moment though.

The last girl to raise her hand was Riho. She tells us to wait a moment before she takes in a breath, leans down, puts a c-shaped hand over her right eye and goes "Sayashi-chin desu-" and loses confidence by the end. The other girls announce that "Sayashi-chin" sounds incredibly adorable, though Riho is awkwardly embarrassed by it all, having obviously wanted to do it, but feeling like she failed. What she really wanted to say though was that she was really excited about performing Bon Kyu Bomb Girl. They had just learned it and it was for this event, thus this was the first stage that they had performed it on and she felt like that really meant something. She then looks at Mizuki and trails off going "A Bon Kyu Bon Kyu Bomb Girl..." Mizuki gets embarrassed immediately and tells Riho to stop looking at her like that! The other girls also chime in accusing Riho of going hentai on them. Riho saves herself by reiterating that she just wanted to say that she was excited that this was the first stage they performed the song on and that she felt that was important. :mikihead: The other girls commend her on her quick save.

Call me crazy/weird, but I still can't fathom Riho & Zukki's POV of voluntary PREMATURE graduation

MM has had 14 auditions as of today (2 produced no signees); there are countless rejected hopefuls who'd give 2 limbs to be accepted into Destination: CareersVille

And MM'16 isn't in those dark 2004-2012 years either; depending on who you ask, some may even say the group now has never had it better

But back to one of the foremost conglomerate of Japan's finest beauties

Actress Matsuoka Mayu joins Morning Musume.'16?
March 21, 2016

Morning Musume.'16 will be making an appearance in TV Tokyo's new drama "Sono 'Okodawari', Watashi ni mo Kure yo!!". In the drama, the girls will give a performance with actress Matsuoka Mayu.

This was revealed on March 20 during the event "Hello! Project Hime Fes 2016" at Pacifico Yokohama. During the press conference, the members of Morning Musume.'16 and Matsuoka made an appearance and spoke about working together on the drama. Matsuoka, who has been a fan of Morning Musume since she was young, joked, "After meeting them and practicing with them the past few days, I don't cry when I see them anymore. So, it's like director Matsue [Tetsuaki] can be charged with murder... I think something inside my died." She continued to say, "I still love them, and think they are cute, but right now, they are people that I have to work hard to dance with. Although it would be ridiculous to call them friends." Then, Iikubo Haruna responded, "We are friends!" to which Matsuoka smiled and said, "Really? I'm happy."

On their first meeting, leader Fukumura Mizuki reflected, "She told us, 'Don't come!!' so we were like, 'What should we do?" She added, "She also said that she couldn't look at us in the eyes, so we were like, 'What to do, what to do,' but when we starting rehearsing together, her eyes became serious. We were impressed by her professionalism. We will begin filming very soon, so we will do our best not to lose to Matsuoka-san."

After the press conference, Matsuoka made a surprise appearance in "Hello! Project Hime Fes 2016," and joined in on performing one of her favorite Morning Musume songs "One・Two・Three".

Based on a manga by Seino Toru, "Sono 'Okodawari', Watashi ni mo Kure yo!!" is a fake documentary which will premiere on April 8. Besides Matsuoka and Morning Musume.'16, it will star Ito Sairi, Saito Takumi, Okura Shimon, Yashima Norito, and Morning Musume OG.

She's an actress so this is outside her forte, but WOW did she nail the dance or what :w00t:

But more importantly now that a beautiful actress has performed OneTwoThree, do you know who else I wish would perform this too?
THE MM OGs themselves. Why not? Current Morning Musume'16 has performed the first single Morning Coffee after all.

And by OG I don't mean Riho or Reina. I meant Aichan. Mikitty. Hell, why not: Goto & Linlin too :twothumbs

Morning Musume public press conference and performance in Nagoya on July 26:
http://www.up-fc.jp/helloproject/news_Info.php?id=9001

They're gonna be announcing some kind of initiative between Hello! Project and the city of Nagoya, and will be joined by local pop group BOYS AND MEN (http://www.jpopasia.com/group/boysandmen). And it's open to the public! Fans can attend and are allowed encouraged to take photos for social media during the photo session portion of the event (but not during the performances).

Hopefully this will be more interesting than simply re-announcing the restart of auditions. :lol: Let the wild speculations commence!

It was so weird because it's such a silly childish song and haha I dunno IT WAS GIVING ME LIFE. I found all of it so hilarious. Fukuchan doing the 'gomen ne' hand on forehead move.

A lil background: this is one of the 3 songs that was to be chosen to be MM's 1st single (which eventually went to Morning Coffee)
And it's still performed 17 years later

But one song still eludes members post-SECOND gen: Ai no Tane aka MM's BIRTH song. Not even Goto Maki has performed it before
Has H!P ever explained why?

[EN] Report of the presentation about the “Morning Misoshiru” collaboration by UFL-Staff
UP-FRONT LINK·Thursday, January 12, 2017

Today, Morning Musume。’17 members were present for a presentation of their new collaboration for a miso-soup and of course, UFL was present to cover this event.

About the Misoshiru (miso-soup)
Originally from China, the actual miso is peculiar to Japan, produced through the fermentation of soybeans and rice. Miso is an important food as a condiment and is a cultural heritage. The soup is usually made of a stock (flavored liquid preparation, "dashi") mixed with the miso paste. There are several types of misoshiru, depending on the region, seasonal recipes, taste, etc.

About the collaboration
In the past, it was usual to have misoshiru in the morning but it changed in the past years. To renew with this habit of having a real Japanese breakfast, Marukome (a famous Japanese company which has produced misoshiru for more than 150 years and which has now overseas activities in some countries, with bases in the USA, South Korea, the UK, Thailand), will launch the the "Morning Misoshiru", name of the collaboration soup with the group Morning Musume。'17, in order to eat once again like all the Japanese were used to do during the breakfast and get good energy to start the day.
The Japanese idols Morning Musume。'17 fitted perfectly the concept of the "symbol of the morning" with their image and their group's name. Of course the name Morning Musume。comes from various notions like the abundance and the multitude of elements from the breakfast set. Then, by thinking at a Japanese breakfast, the coffee is changed by the misoshiru, so for this occasion they remake their first hit and single "Morning Coffee" into "Morning Misoshiru" as a campaign song. 4 new type of misoshiru will be on produced following the group image and sold nation-wide.

Each member color or character is represented to make a mix of ingredients and to create 4 flavors of miso soup.
★ Mizuki Fukumura: Tofu / Masaki Sato: Okra (also known as ochro or gumbo) / Haruna Ogata: Tororo Kombu (kelp dipped in vinegar and shaved off in soft and light flakes) / Haruna Iikubo: Egg ★ Erina Ikuta: Spinach / Ayumi Ishida: Green spring onion / Maria Makino: Fu (dried wheat gluten) / Akane Haga: Aburage (slice of tofu deep-fried ) ★ Sakura Oda: Wakame (edible seaweed) / Haruka Kudo: Pumpkin / Miki Nonaka: Agenasu (deep-fried eggplant) ★ Reina Yokoyama: Enoki (Japanese hackberry) / Kaede Kaga: Nikusoboro (meat minced)

Each flavor of the Morning Misoshiru
This product will be on sale at the end of March in Japan, so if you are in Japan at this moment, do not hesitate to give a try!
In order to launch those new products, this morning a presentation took place for some Japanese media but also some companies partners. The president of the company, Tokio Aoki came to introduce the concept with their mascot Marukome-kun.

Showing the design of the products
Morning Musume。'17 came a bit after and showed the final product with the design. They talked about their personnal experience and memories they have with misoshiru. For example Haruna Iikubo explained that even if she is 22 years old, she is not able to cook but for this product, even she can make something good! Erina Ikuta wished that everyone will eat the misoshiru in the morning while looking at her face on the product! They concluded the talk session by eating the product and really appreciated each taste.

After this talk event, the members announced they will sing the remake of Morning Musume。 first single “Morning Coffee”, and this is why they came with a costume which looked like the same, with some customisations. The remake of the song was really good, and the choreography was cute, when they were doing like if they were eating the misoshiru.

Performing "Morning Misoshiru"
Finally, they took the pose for a photo session and answered some questions of the Japanese media and TV channels present.

If you are a true fan, you recognise this is more than a commercial tie-in
Morning Coffee was released this month, NINETEEN YEARS ago

This is what Morning Musume is about: they're more than a j-idol vocal group, they are j-idol Heritage

Pretty cool concept regardless :hip smile:

Its no wonder true Morning Musume fans just cried watching Morning Misosoup's MV, never mind we got one that's not EDM Dance shot with a green screen only because the miso soup company paid for its budget

Seems Upfront are pulling all stops to prevent any single fan from forgetting that 2017 is the year Morning Musume turns Twenty

Warning: LENGTHY & EMOTIONAL

Nakazawa Yuko gives speech to members on the first day of Morning Musume’s 20th year (http://wotaintranslation.com/2017/02/06/nakazawa-yuko-gives-speech-to-members-on-the-first-day-of-morning-musumes-20th-year/)
- http://wotaintranslation.com/2017/02/06/nakazawa-yuko-gives-speech-to-members-on-the-first-day-of-morning-musumes-20th-year/

Quote
Tsugunaga: “Before the concert when we all gathered around and Ayacho said “congratulations to Morning Musume on your major debut anniversary,” Nakazawa-san suddenly appeared and said “it’s thanks to all of you for continuing to do your best.” When Harunan heard her say those words, tears just started pouring down her face!”

To quote the Founding Okaa-sama
http://ameblo.jp/nakazawa-yuko/entry-12242199526.html
"To everyone who has supported the group until today… To all the staff who have supported us until today… To all the past members who have held the group together until today… And… To all the current members who keep doing their best within the group… It was thanks to all your love, your bonds, your strength, that we are now able to greet this day.

Today, I finally got to go see H!P in concert in Fukuoka on this anniversary and meet with everyone. I have to take a moment to gather my thoughts and figure out what it is I want to say, so please give me some time to think on it. But for now: thank you very, very much!

Those early days when we were just running around, not knowing left from right… There are now members of H!P who weren’t even born back then. Now it’s them singing and dancing on stage. Watching over them while thinking about that… it made me so glad and so happy. I feel full of happiness.

My cute little sisters…
I’m going to keep cheering you on!

Thanks to the staff’s kindness, I got to enjoy this special anniversary today with the members of Morning Musume ’17. At the end I was crying so much… Yet again, they all made me cry."
(http://wotaintranslation.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/o0480036013856111410.jpg)
"Morning Musume and H!P have so many anniversaries. Morning Musume, the group I was a part of, had their major debut on January 28th. That was the debut day of the group’s first members. Then the second generation came along… The third generation… And today the group has reached 13 generations. These generations all have their own debut days and debut songs.

For how long will it continue…? The group now has 40 members, past and present. Often times, the fans will know more about them than me, and they tell me all these things. It leads to so many new realizations even for me. Truly, the group has walked this far with all of you fans on our side, supporting us for all these months and years.

Let’s continue to do our best together forever!!"

[EN] Concerning the medical condition of Masaki Sato

UP-FRONT LINK·Friday, February 24, 2017

Thank you for your continued support towards Morning Musume。'17. Concerning the lumbar disk herniation of Masaki Sato which put her in a break, she will restart her activities on March 18th for the concert at Pacifico Yokohama during the "Morning Musume。'17 Concert Tour Spring ~THE INSPIRATION~" tour and she already started the rehearsals.

She takes part at physical strength trainings 4 times a week, and every day she walks around 1 or 2 hours. Thanks to this, some days ago, after a medical examination, the doctor said "There is no problem to start again little by little the dance". Her trainer also judged she can use her physical strength for the concerts. However, concerning the lumbar disk herniation itself, it is not completely recovered, and the members of her family, our company cannot deny that with a restart too early of the activities there might be a chance the symptoms would be back, so we were against a restart for the spring tour. But Masaki herself said with a high determination "Even if I don't appear in concerts from now, and only receive medical treatments, the symptoms might still come back. I don't feel pain and perhaps the members, staff, all the fans worry or feel trouble about me, but as a challenge, I want to complete this tour and want to perform in front of everyone." The doctor added that "it depends on her whether if she dances or not" so it has been finally decided she will take restart with the spring tour
.
We do not know if the hernia will appear again so she will continue to participate at physical strength trainings. First of all she will take part at the concert, and concerning the other activities, we will decide after looking at the situation.
She takes part at the rehearsals but we do not know how her body will be able to move exactly and if she can do such performances. Also the concert tour involves beeing in the same posture for a long time, so we think about avoiding out of necessity activities during rehearsals and the tour. To all the fans, to all the people who might worry and are troubled by the situation, we would be happy if you watch over Masaki and we hope for your understanding. Please continue to support Masaki Sato as well as Morning Musume。'17.

2017/02/24 UP-FRONT PROMOTION Representative Director Takeshi Nishiguchi

The physical strength trainings are hard but more than this, "to not being able to get on stage as Morning Musume。" makes me persist in those trainings. From what my trainer said "The muscles made their apparition. If you continue your trainings, you will be able to participate at the concerts." The staff and my family told me "Don't you want to rest a bit more?" but I am the one who understand the best my body! Masaki will come back in Morning Musume。! However, I have been said my hernia is not completely cured so I might take some rest if it hurts from now. I will do my best in order to not worry all of the fans more than this! I am looking forward to meeting you at the concerts!

In view of this, fellow MM fans, should H!P be having less EDM-y (maybe less dance-y songs even) songs to accommodate Maa-chan?

But I wonder: it didn't occur to H!P to do it this way 19 years ago (or 15 years ago in 2002) with the 1st & 2nd generations?

*MORNING JOGAKUIN w/ Ikuta, Oda, and Sato - Translated By Ronin from H!O

Quote
Eripon: Last week's guest was Haga Akane. I was there too. And Hagachin seems to be aiming for a half-regular position at Morning Jogakuin.
Odango: What!?
Eripon: She said "The next time I'm a guest here, please let me do the day duty.".
Odango: Akane sure loves that kind of thing, right?
Eripon: Yeah.
Odango: She loves to be the host, the one in control. And I think she'd be great at it.
Eripon: Plus, it's funny when Hagachin is the host.
Odango: Because the youngest member is the one in control.
Eripon: Hagachin's often the host at release events and she always plays us.
Odango: We get played. We all dance to her tune.
Eripon: Yeah, she makes us dance to her tune.
Odango: But if Akane is going to get greedy and try to take over Morning Jogakuin, then we're taking over their 12th gen radio show, right?
Eripon: We haven't been invited even once yet.
Maachan: Odango, you used to have your own show too for some time, right?
Odango: It was a web radio show.
Maachan: Yeah, right?
Odango: But that web radio show was originally a 9th & 10th gen show, which became mine and later turned into a 12th gen show.
Maachan: Right, right, right. What was it called?
Eripon & Odango: "Maji de Pyoko Pyoko".
Maachan: That takes me back!
Odango: It was "MajiPyoko" at first, but then it became "Sakura Sakuradio", then "12ki Relay" and is now a 13th gen show, what's it called, "Reversible Radio"?
Eripon: Really? Eri has never heard of any of them!
Odango: Senpai!
Maachan: Paisen! Sub-leader!
Eripon: I mean, Eri doesn't even know any of the Kenshuusei.
Odango: Yeah, Ikuta-san doesn't know any Kenshuusei. Except for Kirara-chan.
Eripon: Kirara-chan is the only one I know.
Odango: Your love for Kirara-chan is amazing though. All your love for the Kenshuusei goes to Kirara-chan and Kirara-chan only.
Eripon: Yeah, that's what it feels like. But seriously though, I don't even know what the other MM members are doing in their free time.
Odango: On days off?
Eripon: On days off or even at work. I only check my own timetable.
Odango: Ah, you get the timetables of everyone, but you only check yours?
Eripon: Yeah. I sometimes wonder what which member is doing.
Odango: I do too. Whenever I have a few free hours I start looking for others who are free too. I even check which other members are free at the same time and whether they will do something together.
Eripon: I wonder about that too. I often wonder about who's hanging out with who. What do you usually do, Masaki-chan?
Maachan: Umm... You mean after work?
Eripon: After work or...
Odango: Between two jobs. Say, you had four free hours.
Maachan: Four hours? I'm probably sitting next to my manager. If I only have four hours.
Odango: How come it's often four hours?
Maachan: But in any case, I'm usually thinking about how I could spend the time in an enjoyable way. Like going to karaoke.
Eripon: I see.
Odango: The other day, I spent my free time alone for the first time since I joined Morning Musume even though that was almost 6 years ago.
Eripon: What did you do?
Odango: I tried walking around Shibuya even though there was nothing I wanted to buy.
Eripon: Window shopping?
Odango: Yes, that! I never understood why people would walk around town even though they're not looking for anything specifically, but then I checked out artbooks and even bought some. Then I tried entering a Tully's by myself.
Maachan: How come you can enter Tully's by yourself, but can't enter Starbucks?
Odango: No, no, Tully's was hard enough for me.
Eripon: So you're afraid of entering coffee shops by yourself? What kind of stores are you not afraid to enter then?
Odango: The other day, I was even afraid of entering McDonald's.
Maachan & Eripon: McDonald's!?
Odango: Yes.
Eripon: McDonald's is every country bumpkin's friend though!
Odango: I know! I know! It's bad. We had McDonald's everywhere where I came from, but I just couldn't. I do think it's bad that I can't even enter McDonald's by myself. But when you're alone...
Eripon: At McDonald's, you'll feel accepted from the bottom of your heart, no matter who you are!
Odango: What's that? What kind of ad slogan is that?
Eripon: Everyone's welcome at McDonald's!
Odango: I know! I used to be able to enter by myself just fine, but one day I just couldn't anymore. I just don't like the registers.
Maachan: Ah, I know what you mean! I don't like open registers either!
Eripon: What open registers?
Maachan: Everyone can see and hear what you're ordering. It's not like an individual handshake, you know?
Odango: You mean you'd prefer a store where customers order at the same time?
Maachan: Yeah, it's like handshake events where we're in a line vs. handshakes where each one of us has their own booth.
Eripon: But there aren't many stores where people can order at the same time, are there?
Maachan: It's like a sushi restaurant vs. Starbucks. Because in sushi restaurants, you can just go beep-beep-boing and you get your sushi, right?
Odango: Ah, I see.
Eripon: This is a radio show. You can't just go beep-beep-boing.
Odango: What she means is that there are touch panels where you can order your sushi.
Maachan: Yes, yes, yes. While at Starbucks, you have to tell them what you want and they're like "Okay, please wait here a moment.". I don't like how you have to stand around and wait by yourself.
Odango: I know what you mean.
Eripon: I have no idea what you mean.
Odango: I'm too embarrassed to order fancy menus at Starbucks.
Eripon: I think I'm one of those who order fancy menus.
Odango: No, it's okay when others do it. I just shouldn't do it.
Eripon: Why not?
Odango: Because it's just not for me.
Maachan: Ah, is it because you're too small?
Odango: I don't think my stature has anything to do with it!
Maachan: Do your hands even reach the register?
Odango: They do! I'm not that small!
Maachan: Ah, so that's why you've been wearing high heels lately?
Eripon: You are?
Maachan: She's wearing these shoes that look like sneakers but have heels.
Eripon: You're doing your best, huh?
Odango: Well, yeah, but I think 152cm is normal.
Maachan: No, no, no...
Eripon: I'd rather want to be 155cm.
Odango: There are many girls who aren't even 150cm.
Eripon: Eri always thought I was 159cm tall, but I wasn't when I measured it the other day. One of my friends said I'd become shorter.
Odango: Oh? Oh? Is it because of your age?
Maachan: GAHAHAHAHA
Odango: Isn't it a bit early for that?
Eripon: I panicked and when I measured myself, I was only 157cm. The last time I checked was when we had a physical examination in first year of middle school and I cheated by standing on tiptoe.
Odango: You can't cheat like that!
Eripon: In other words, I haven't grown at all since I was in first year of middle school!
Odango: Ever since you joined Morning Musume?
Eripon: Not a single centimeter! I think it's sad, but well...
Maachan: When I joined, I weighed 39 kg.
Eripon: 39!?
Odango: That little!?
Maachan: Only 39kg. When I joined.
Odango: Well, you were a child.
Eripon: Yeah, you were only 12 or so.
Odango: I think I weighed about the same too when I was in sixth year of elementary school.
Maachan: Yeah, Ikuta-san was in second year of middle school when we first met. And now I just heard Ikuta-san is turning 20. I can't believe it.
Odango: Time sure flies...
Maachan: Yeah. And you'll be 30 soon, Odango.
Odango: Why the hell!? I'm still only 18!
Maachan: But they say you turn 30 in the blink of an eye!
Odango: You're 18 too, Satou-san. We're the same age! I'm only two months older than you!
Maachan: I've been scared of my birthday lately. I used to look forward to it, but now it's just scary.
Odango: How many more times do you think it'll come around?
Maachan: About 100 times more, at least.
Odango: Um, I doubt you'll have 100 more birthdays.
Ikuta: 100 times!? When you get into the Guinness book of records, I'll personally congratulate you, Masaki-chan.
Odango: WAIT DOES THAT MEAN YOU'LL BE ALIVE THEN TOO!?
Maachan: GAHAHAHA

Quote
Continuation of the Morning Jogakuin episode.

Question: What do you always take with you when you ride the bullet train?

Eripon: Portable DVD player.
Maachan: Bags.
Odango: Headphones.

Eripon: The question was what we take with us when we ride the bullet train.
Maachan: For Masa, it's bags.
Odango: Well, well, we all take bags with us.
Maachan: I usually have two bags with me. Three if you count my trolley.
Odango: Yeah, it's always three.
Maachan: I get worried when I don't have everything with me.
Eripon: You always have way too much baggage. Even if it's a one night trip, you have so much baggage it feels like you're going on a 10-nights trip.
Maachan: HAHAHAHA
Odango: It's shocking how much Satou-san's trolley weighs every time.
Eripon: I bet you'd have to pay extra to take it with you overseas. It exceeds the baggage weight limitations.
Maachan: You never know what might happen if you don't have everything with you. That's why I end up taking a lot more stuff with me than just clothes.
Odango: Yeah, you even have these weird electronic devices with you. Ones that make you go "Do you really need this?". Like speakers.
Eripon: What would you use speakers for!?
Maachan: The speakers are for when we stay in hotels. There are ghosts in hotels, right? There are always ghosts in hotels, so I blast loud music to distract myself.
Eripon: It was funny when we went to Osaka together the other day. I was invited to a radio show and Masaki-chan had an individual handshake event, so we both had to stay there for one night. We had separate hotel rooms though. Masaki-chan suddenly said she was afraid of her hotel room and started checking all bookstores till she bought a "Can you see what I see" board game. In the end, we played "Can you see what I see" with people from the staff in my hotel room all night.
Odango: It's fun, isn't it?
Maachan: I was really afraid. When I talked about it, Ikuta-san and her manager got worried and asked me if I want to come with them to the radio show, but I suggested that we go get something to eat first and then I waited in the restaurant for Ikuta-san's radio show to end, so we can go to Ikuta-san's hotel room after that.
Odango: That's hilarious.
Maachan: I had to wait for hours in the restaurant, thinking to myself "What's taking Ikuta-san so long!?".
Eripon: It was a live radio show, I couldn't help it!
Maachan: I had to wait so long!
Odango: She had to do her job.
Maachan: I was worried the restaurant might close.
Eripon: You talk a lot today, Masaki-chan.
Maachan: Yeah. Because I'm pretty nervous about the job I have to do after this.
Odango: Please do your best.
Eripon: What about you, Oda?
Odango: It's headphones in my case. Everyone else falls asleep after a while. I love talking to other members, but when the person next to me falls asleep, I have no choice but to do something alone.
Eripon: Yeah.
Maachan: A two-hour train ride can feel like an eternity.
Odango: And I never sleep on trains.
Maachan: You could watch a whole movie in that time.
Odango: You could, yes.
Eripon: Since I have a portable DVD player with me, I'm always watching a movie.
Odango: You're always watching a horror movie!
Maachan: Yeah! What's up with that? You should stop doing that, Ikuta-san! They're so scary!
Eripon: They're not horror movies though.
Maachan: They're super scary though!
Eripon: They're suspense horror movies.
Maachan: HAHAHA
Odango: Sometimes, Ikuta-san's seat is in front of mine and when I glance over, I always see something I shouldn't have seen.
Maachan: Something's always going "GAAAHHHHH".
Eripon: Yeah, sometimes there are zombies and stuff.
Odango: It's so scary!
Maachan: When I see something like that just when I wanted to sleep, I can't sleep anymore!
Odango: It's going to give you nightmares!
Eripon: The one I watched the other day was about someone with multiple personalities? But I watched it with only one earbud.
Odango: Because it was too scary?
Eripon: It was. There were jump scares.
Odango: That's so scary.
Maachan: You know, I wish they'd turn off the lights in bullet trains when it takes hours to get to the next station.
Odango: In conclusion, we each have our own way of spending time on trains.
Eripon: Yes, to each his own.
Odango: Most of us sleep.
Eripon: That's right. I watch a movie half the time and sleep the rest of the time.
Odango: Yeah.

Btw, here's the part about Karaoke from the last Morning Jogakuin:

Odango: This letter is from someone called "Oda-chan Oshi". Thank you for the letter.
Eripon & Maachan: Thank you very much!
Odango: "Maachan, Eripon, Oda-chan, KonbanSakura!"
Eripon: KonbanSakura!
Maachan: Konbanwa!
Eripon: You refuse to say KonbanSakura, huh?
Odango: "I always enjoy listening to Morning Jogakuin. I love to sing and when I go Karaoke, I always sing H!P songs.".
Eripon: Thank you!
Odango: "Songs I always sing are Koi ING, Kiss me Aishiteru and The Vision. Have you three been to Karaoke lately? Which songs do you sing? I'll be rooting for you from now on too." is what she wrote. Thank you very much.
Eripon: Oh. What about you, Masaki-chan?
Maachan: I go to Karaoke a lot.
Eripon: A lot?
Maachan: A lot.
Odango: Any songs you sing every time?
Maachan: Songs I sing sing every time...
Odango: That was one "sing" too many.
Eripon: Too many "sing"s.
Maachan: Ehh... I don't think there are any. In particular.
Odango: Oh?
Maachan: Instead of singing, since I get nervous and can't sing in front of others, I talk a lot. I go to Karaoke and talk.
Odango: You talk at Karaoke?
Maachan: Yeah.
Eripon: You normally go to Karaoke to sing, you know?
Maachan: I know, I listen to others sing, but I'm too embarrassed to sing much.
Eripon: The last time I went to Karaoke with you, Masaki-chan, you sang a lot though.
Maachan: I did?
Odango: Maybe you can sing when you're with one of the MM members.
Maachan: Maybe that's it. Don't you get embarrassed? I get really embarrassed. When I went to Karaoke with Yassan, she sang Butterfly.
Odango: Kimura Kaela's Butterfly?
Maachan: No, the one the OG members sing.
Odango: Ah, the Dream Morning Musume one.
Maachan: Yes, yes, yes. Ikuta-san sang "Rock no Teigi" and...
Odango: It's called "Shining Butterfly".
Maachan: Yes, Yassan has "Shining Butterfly" and Ikuta-san has "Rock no Teigi".
Eripon: "Has"?
Odango: You mean it's the song they always sing?
Maachan: Yes.
Odango: You go to Karaoke a lot, don't you, Ikuta-san?
Eripon: I do. Lately, I've been singing Idolm@ster songs.
Odango: Like all the time.
Eripon: Yes. Only Idolm@ster songs all the time. Especially "Everyday Dream", a song sung by the character Sakuma Mayu, voiced by Makino Yui whom I love.
Maachan: Wow.
Eripon: What else... I wonder what I usually sing...
Maachan: See? You don't know, right? It depends on that moment and what is popular that time. Right now, it'd be "DESTINY" by CHE'NELLE.
Odango: Ah, that drama theme song. Then "Koi" by Hoshino Gen maybe?
Maachan: And that song from "Quartet"...
Eripon: "Otona no"...
Maachan: "Otona no"...
Odango: The one all four actors sing together.
Maachan: People usually sing what's popular right now, what's played in commercials.
Eripon: In that case, I'd probably sing that Hoshino Gen song.
Maachan: The one that goes like Talalala?
Odango: "Koi".
Eripon: Yes, that or "Kudaranai no naka ni".
Odango: Ah, that's the one he sang at Music Station.
Eripon: I guess I listen to Hoshino Gen a lot.
Maachan: I don't really have any songs I sing every time.
Eripon: What about you, Oda? I imagine you only sing H!P songs.
Odango: Yes, H!P songs only, but if you ask me which song I can sing best, I'd say "366 days" by HY.
Eripon: Oh boy, everyone sings that!
Odango: That and "Hanamizuki" are songs anyone can get good scores at.
Eripon: That's right.
Maachan: Oda gets super high scores though, Ikuta-san. She gets 97 easily.
Odango: I don't know if I score that high every time...
Maachan: 97 is the highest score I've ever seen when I went with Odango.
Odango: 98 might be my highest score.
Maachan: 98 is crazy!
Eripon: You know, when Kei-san, Ougi Kei-san, participated in the Karaoke Battle show the other day, she was talking about how she prepared herself for it. She said how she got 98 points and how it was still not good enough. I was like "98 is high enough! It's almost impossible to get a score like that!".
Maachan: When Maachan and Odango went... I mean, Masaki and Odango went to Karaoke, I kept getting scores in the 80s.
Odango: Haha. Yes.
Maachan: And when I finally got a score of 89, she was like "Satou-san! You're almost there!". Hahaha.
Odango: When I listen to Satou-san... You know how there are ways of singing that get you high scores at Karaoke while other ways of singing don't. When you think about it like that, the score isn't all that important.
Eripon: That's right. The score is just one way of having fun at Karaoke. In my case, it's not about the score anymore. I just try to beat others in the national ranking. It tells you which rank you are out of this many people etc.
Odango: Yes, it tells you how high your score ranks among how many hundred people.
Maachan: I've never seen that.
Odango: You can check it.
Maachan: I'm always messing around with the robot voice modifier.
Odango: Ahh...
Maachan: Ah, I know! I know! I know! Please listen!
Odango: Go ahead.
Eripon: She got hyper all of a sudden.
Maachan: You can change your voice to that of a 12-year-old or 13-year-old.
Odango: Ah, the "minus 5 years" thing?
Maachan: Yes! And when I turn that on, my voice goes actually back to how it was back then! I don't know how it works, but with it, I can suddenly hit the high tones in "Pyoko Pyoko Ultra" that I normally can't hit anymore. My voice reverts back to how it was years ago!
Odango: It's fun to play around with it.
Maachan: I wish I could go back to that voice! I wish I could use that thing on the microphones in concerts too!
Odango: The "minus 5 years" thing?
Maachan: Yeah, I want that on my concert microphone.
Odango: Your voice will get way too high-pitched.
Maachan: But my voice was high-pitched back then!
Eripon: My voice range has increased a lot compared to back then.
Odango: It sure has.
Maachan: What was vocal range again?
Eripon: It's like the range of notes you can hit.
Maachan: Ahhh...
Odango: My vocal range has always been very narrow. Always been. I could never hit the high notes you can hit, Ikuta-san.
Eripon: Which ones?
Odango: Your high notes. I could never sing "Goodybe Natsuo" like you can. I can sing the song, but not the way you do.
Maachan: But you can do what Ariane Grande can. Like Dadarada~.
Eripon: Whistle tones?
Odango: Whistle tones. But I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
Maachan: I'm not sure either.
Eripon: The problem is there's no one who can tell if you're doing it right or not.
Odango: Yeah. Wait, what were we talking about again?
Eripon: Which songs we sing at Karaoke.
Odango: Oh yeah, I hope you got an impression of what we sing at Karaoke.
Eripon: I also like to sing Ohara Sakurako and AAA songs.
Odango: Ahh... I need to listen to more Jpop. I only know H!P songs.
Eripon: I usually only sing Jpop songs. That's about it. So if you go to Karaoke next time, please try singing the songs we mentioned.
Odango: Yes, please. Aim for a highscore!
Eripon: Let's all try to become Nr. 1 in the national ranking!
Odango: Yes, let's!

*Translated by Ronin

I translated the bits I found most interesting. Hope I managed to keep it as funny as it was in Japanese:

Maachan: Yes!
Ayumin: What's wrong?
Maachan: Yes! The H!P concerts have begun!
Ayumin: Right, they've begun!
Fukunura: Yay, finally!
Maachan: The rehearsals were so short this time Masaki didn't know what to do.
Ayumin: Yeah, they were very short.
Fukunura: We did our best to learn the choreography.
Ayumin: There were so many songs to learn the choreography of.
Maachan: It may be weird to say it myself, but Masa really did her best this time.
Fukunura: Hehehe
Ayumin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do our best so that the audience can approve of it too.
Maachan: No, I approve of it myself.
Fukunura: lol
Ayumin: Yourself?
Maachan: Masa approves.
Ayumin: Well, I guess it's important to praise yourself too.
Maachan: I'm not praising myself.
Ayumin: Eh?
Maachan: I said I'm approving of my hard work.
Ayumin: Oh?
Maachan: You should work on your Japanese more, Ayumin.
Ayumin: Yes, I'm very sorry. Wait a second here.
Maachan: Good, let's start today's Morning Musume Morning Jogakuin After School meeting!
Ayumin: Satou-san, please work on your Japanese more too.

Ayumin: The first message is from a fan about how she came to like Morning Musume. It's from someone called "Maachan is my daily solace".
Fukunura: lol Thank you very much.
Ayumin & Maachan: Thank you very much.
Ayumin: "Fuku-chan, Ayumin, Maachan, good evening."
Fukunura & Maachan: Good evening!
Ayumin: "Let me tell you how I came to like Morning Musume. I'm attending a vocational school right now."
Fukunura: Ohhh.
Ayumin: "At the admissions interview, I was told by the interviewer that I look like Matsuoka Mayu when I smile."
Fukunura: Huh. She's cute.
Ayumin: "Shortly after that, I saw in the news that Matsuoka Mayu would temporarily join Morning Musume for a drama series or something."
Fukunura: Oh.
Ayumin: "The song One-Two-Three she performed at that time was so cool that I've been a Morning Musume wota ever since then."
Fukunura: Ohhh.
Maachan: Wow. Amazing.
Ayumin: "And ever since I saw the Utakata Saturday Night music video for the first time and fell in love with MaaDuu at first sight, I've been a MaaDuu fan. I'm very sad that I won't get to see MaaDuu anymore after Kudou-san's graduation, but as someone who loves MaaDuu from the bottom of my heart, I want to root for MaaDuu until the end. I can't wait for the fall tour! Please take care of yourselves and do your best at work!"
Fukunura: What a nice fan.
Maachan: Wow. Matsuoka-san.
Ayumin: In one of her drama series, Matsuoka-san said she'd like to become the gasoline for Morning Musume, the fuel for Morning Musume, and here's the proof that she actually got us a new fan. I'm so happy I got to hear about this. Thank you very much for the message.
Fukunura & Maachan: Thank you very much.
Fukunura: I'll read the next message. This one is from YukiMegu-san.
Ayumin & Maachan: Thank you very much.
Fukunura: "Everyone at MoJo, good evening!"
Ayumin & Maachan: Good evening!
Fukunura: "I came to like Morning Musume thanks to Sashihara Rino-san".
Ayumin: Oh my!
Maachan: Sashihara... Sasshi-san?
Fukunura: "I'm originally a fan of AKB48 and check Sashiko-chan's twitter regularly."
Ayumin: Okay.
Fukunura: "And one day, Sashiko-chan posted a picture of Morning Musume singing 'Utakata Saturday Night' with the text 'Just bought this. It's such a good song, I want more people to listen to it.'."
Ayumin: Thank you very much!
Fukunura: "When I saw that, I figured I could give it a listen since Sashiko-chan is recommending it so strongly and watched the music video on Youtube."
Ayumin: Yes, yes.
Fukunura: "That's how I became a fan of Satou Masaki-chan, who happens to be Sashiko-chan's Oshi too, and before I knew it, I had come to love Morning Musume."
Ayumin: Wow! Wow!
Fukunura: "Fast forward to now. I'm a member of the H!P fan club who's attended Masaki-chan's birthday event and the Morning Musume '17 spring tour. Like I said at the beginning, I'm a fan of AKB48, but the H!P fan club is the first fan club I've ever joined."
Ayumin: Oh my!
Fukunura: "That's how much addicted to Morning Musume now. I'm really grateful to Sashiko-chan for introducing me to a wonderful idol group like H!P."
Ayumin: Yeah, yeah.
Fukunura: "Please take care of yourselves and do your best! I'll be rooting for you.".
Maachan: Thank you very much.
Ayumin: Wow, thank you very much.
Fukunura: She's only 15 years old.
Ayumin: Oh my! So young!
Maachan: Younger than Masa...
Fukunura: lol I'm so happy.
Ayumin: I am too.
Fukunura: That people became fans of us thanks to people who talk about being fans of us.
Ayumin: Yeah.
Fukunura: This YukiMegu-san, for example, was a fan of Sashihara-san first, but then became a fan of us too.
Ayumin: Yeah!
Maachan: Wow.
Fukunura: But yeah, Sashihara-san has been saying that she likes Morning Musume and we even got to sing with her as Sashining Musume.
Ayumin: Yes! Yes! Get you!
Fukunura: It was our first time collaborating with her, so I was really nervous.
Ayumin: We collaborated in TV shows too.
Fukunura: Yeah, we were in TV shows together, but it was our first official collaboration, so I was really nervous. And it was super fun because I think collaborations like that are pretty rare among idol groups.
Ayumin: We should treasure them.
Maachan: Sasshi-san and others always come to our concerts, right?
Ayumin: Yeah.
Maachan: And the other day, there was the AKB48 election, right?
Ayumin: Yeah.
Maachan: Masa was really happy about it.
Fukunura: That Sashihara-san got first place?
Maachan: When I saw Sasshi-san ranking first, I was like "YEEAAAHHHH".
Fukunura: lol
Ayumin: That's a funny way to express your joy about something. lol
Maachan: I was really happy about it.
Ayumin: It was exciting to watch.
Maachan: It was. It was also thanks to Sasshi-san that we got to sing "Get you" together. Seeing Sasshi-san come up on top like that, I thought to myself again how cool she is.
Ayumin: Ohh.
Maachan: After all, she's older than us. I mean it in a good way though.
Fukunura: In a good way? lol
Maachan: I mean, she's more mature than us. So I look up to her and think she's really cool.
Fukunura: I was so surprised when such famous idols like Sashihara-san or Watanabe Mayu-san came to the first day of our concert tour.
Ayumin: That's right.
Fukunura: Kashiwagi Yuki-san too said she likes Morning Musume. I'm always so happy to hear that they came to like Morning Musume in the past and still like the current Morning Musume today. That means, we have the responsibility to keep Morning Musume's history alive, so let's try to protect what makes Morning Musume Morning Musume while exploring new territory.
Maachan: Hehehe.
Ayumin: Yes. Now here comes a message about the "Fun facts about Morning Musume members only fans know" category which I love.
Fukunura: It's the first time I hear about that category.
Maachan: *cough*
Ayumin: Let me read it.
Fukunura: Okay.
Ayumin: It's from someone called "Endless Sayumist Medium-spicy Penguin".
Fukunura: lol
Everyone: Thank you very much.
Ayumin: "Here are some fun facts I noticed about Masaki-chan from watching concerts and DVD magazines."
Fukunura: Oh.
Ayumin: "01. As soon as the leader finishes her pep talk before a concert, she runs off somewhere in a hurry."
Fukunura: lol
Ayumin: "02. When she gets too excited during a concert, she sexually harasses other members."
Maachan: lol
Fukunura: True.
Ayumin: "03. She still loves to draw Deli-kun everywhere."
Fukunura: Ahh...
Ayumin: Now comes a bonus fun fact about me. "When Ayumi-chan has to get up early, she slurs her words all morning."
Fukunura: lol
Maachan: WAHAHAHA
Ayumin: There's one about you too, Fukumura-san. "When Mizuki-chan hugs the other members, it's always a bear hug.".
Fukunura: lol Wow, that person is so observant.
Ayumin: It's so funny too! After the leader has held her speech and we've done the "Ganbatte Ikimasshoi!" together, most members go to the space behind the stage because the concert is about to start.
Fukunura: Yeah.
Ayumin: Because it's usually a few minutes before the concert starts. Only Maachan rushes back to the dressing room for some reason.
Maachan: lol *cough*
Fukunura: Yeah, she starts running the second we finish saying "Ganbatte Ikimasshoi!". lol
Ayumin: lol
Fukunura: I always think "How come she's in such a hurry?".
Ayumin: It's like she was still in the middle of preparing herself.
Fukunura: She starts running at the "shoi" of "Ganbatte Ikimasshoi!". Like it was "Ready, steady, go!".
Maachan: But I really mean it when I say "Ganbatte Ikimasshoi!".
Ayumin: Of course, of course.
Fukunura: Really?
Maachan: Of course! Okay, next time, I'll only look Fukunura-san in the eye while making a face like "Let's go!".
Ayumin: More like "Let's go back to the dressing room!".
Fukunura: lol
Maachan: You see, at the first day of a concert, it's not about make-up or preparing myself, but don't you tear up when a concert tour is about to start? Like when everyone's like "Ganbatte Ikuta!" "Ganbarou!". And it seems like I'm really weak against it. Sometimes, Ayumin and Duu start crying at that moment, right?
Ayumin: Yeah.
Maachan: And when I see you guys cry, I start crying even harder.
Ayumin: It's infectious.
Maachan: Yeah. It makes me cry twice as hard and all my make-up and everything would be ruined.
Ayumin: Yeah.
Maachan: That's why I go back to the dressing room and say "Alright, I'm going to ASDFGHJKL!!!" to myself by myself.
Ayumin: So that's why you go back.
Fukunura: She's making up her own words again.
Maachan: But isn't it funny how Ayumin slurs her *cough* words in the *cough* morning?
Ayumin: Maachan, you're the one who's slurring your words right now though.
Maachan: What does "slurring" mean again?
Ayumin: It means you can't speak clearly.
Maachan: Ah, you're really bad at speaking clearly, Ayumin.
Ayumin: Really?
Fukunura: Everyone in Morning Musume is bad at it.
Ayumin: In the morning, yeah. It's okay at this time of the day.
Maachan: Masa is pretty good at it.
Ayumin: What?
Fukunura: You're not!
Maachan: Eh? I am!
Fukunura: In your case, it's more like you're not even trying!
Maachan & Ayumin: HAHAHAHA
Fukunura: Because you could if you tried!
Ayumin: True.
Maachan: How mean... lol
Fukunura: Like before, you could speak clearly if you wanted. You're good at tongue twisters too.
Ayumin: Plus, you slur a word and just roll with it. You don't even try to say it again.
Fukunura: lol She does.
Ayumin: I'm like "No one will understand you that way." every time.
Fukunura: See? You're not even trying.
Maachan: No, speaking is just too diffcult!
Ayumin: You mean Japanese?
Maachan: It's way too difficult! Just think about it for a second! Ever since I joined Morning Musume in 6th year of elementary school, I've finally gotten to this point where I can speak like this after getting taught how to speak by the members in my generation like Ayumin and Duu and I still suck at it!
Ayumin: Normally, people can already speak when they're in sixth year of elementary school.
Maachan: I'm finally starting to get the hang of how to use Japanese. Like when you say "Arigatou", where to put the "o" sound. Or the dashes and circles in Hiragana characters. I'm finally starting to understand all the lyrics in our songs.
Fukunura: No way.
Maachan: I'm serious! I'm not lying!
Ayumin: How old are you now, Maachan?
Maachan: Huh? I'm in third year of high school.
Ayumin: Whoa...
Fukunura: 18.
Maachan: But it's okay. Even people like me can still live their lives.
Ayumin: Yeah, you can. Let's keep living.
Maachan: And everyone tells me how much I've improved.
Fukunura: It's thanks to all the adults around you who raised you.
Maachan: And I got chewed out a lot.
Ayumin: That's right! It's thanks to the other 10th gen members who taught you everything.
Maachan: Don't expect me to feel grateful now.
Fukunura: You won't? lol
Maachan: *cough* lol But! But I must admit that the other three 10th gen members are really good at teaching kids like me.
Fukunura: lol I guess that means the three of them will make wonderful mothers in the future.
Maachan: Definitely. I think so too.
Ayumin: HAHAHA Maybe so.
Fukunura: lol What a weird way to sum this up.
Maachan: I think they'll make great mothers. In any case, let's end this meaningless chatter and play the second song.
Fukunura: lol

Is the voting for favorite songs open to people residing in Japan only?

Though not open to request, I still wish we can see songs performed by a mish-mash combination of OGs & current members; who won't wanna see Mizuki, Sakura & Kudo sing alongside Yuuko, Goto Maki, Kaori, or Abe?

Did anybody wholeheartedly welcome the apostrophe-year thing when H!P introduced for Morning Musume? I dunno; is the company saying that Morning Musume disbands every 31st Dec 11:59pm & reforms a new group on 1st Jan at midnight?

For me, from Nakazawa to Chisaki it has always been one single Morning Musume group:

for 20 years since 1997.

Quote
Translated by Ronin from H!O

I translated the funniest part of today's Morning Jogakuin with Harunan, Maachan and Odango. It's quite long, so I put it in a quote.

Quote

    (After an email asking if there were any H!P members they talked to a lot and became friends with at this H!P concert tour...)

    Satou: Gasp! There is one! Here, here, here, here, here!!
    Iikubo: Alright, Satou-san, go ahead.
    Oda: Yes, go ahead.
    Satou: Yamaki Rika-chan.
    Oda: It's Risa.
    Satou: Yamaki Rika-chan.
    Iikubo: Ahahaha! (slams the table four times)
    Oda: It's Risa.
    Satou: wwwww
    Oda: It's Risa.
    Iikubo: You've got to be kidding me! (lol)
    Satou: Yamaki-chan!
    Iikubo: You can't be friends if you don't know her name! (lol)
    Oda: Did you really become friends? (lol)
    Satou: Eh, well, I guess, we didn't really become friends.
    Oda: Yeah.
    Satou: But we talked a lot.
    Iikubo/Oda: Ahhh.
    Satou: You see, this time, we did this song called "Iroppoi Onna No Ko" (Sexy Girl) together.
    Iikubo: It's "Iroppoi Onna" (Sexy Woman). (lol)
    Oda: Yeah, it's "Iroppoi Onna" (Sexy Woman). (lol)
    Satou: Yeah, we did that one together.
    Iikubo: Yeah.
    Satou: And then, we were together in the same group.
    Iikubo: You mean "unit".
    Satou: Right. And I got to talk a lot with Yamaki-chan. Oh, with Yokoyan too.
    Iikubo: Yokoyan is in the same group as you! (lol) Okay.
    Satou: So yeah, we're not friends now, but we got to talk a lot.
    Iikubo: I see.
    Satou: Like "Yeah, I know what you mean!".
    Oda: Ahh...
    Satou: And about this and that.
    Oda: You didn't... you don't talk with your Kouhai at all, right?
    Satou: I can't. I can't because I never know what to say.
    Iikubo: Ahh, I'm like that too.
    Satou: If it was someone from my gen, I could just talk about something stupid.
    Iikubo: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
    Satou: And they'd just go along with it.
    Iikubo: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
    Oda: Ahh...
    Satou: But if it's a Kouhai, I can't talk about something stupid.
    Iikubo: Yes, yes, yes, yes! I know exactly what you mean!
    Satou: You know?
    Iikubo: Yeah.
    Satou: Even if I want to talk about something normal...
    Iikubo/Oda: Yeah.
    Satou: It's not like I can enforce it.
    Iikubo: Yes, yes!
    Satou: And I end up feeling like I'm just wasting my time, when I catch myself trying too hard.
    Iikubo/Oda: Yeah.
    Sstou: But as you can see, it's just Maa thinking I can't talk to them. If they came to talk to me, I'd be happy and I'd never turn them down.
    Iikubo: Yeah.
    Satou: This time, with Yamaki-chan, I...
    Oda: It's quite rare for a Kouhai to go up to a Senpai and talk to them though.
    Iikubo: True...
    Satou: If it was me, I might have no problem talking to a Senpai.
    Iikubo/Oda: Ahh...
    Iikubo: Ah, you're probably right.
    Satou: Yeah. Because Maa went up to both Harunan and Odango first. Odango is my Kouhai, but she's older than me and I still did it. That's just how I am.
    Iikubo/Oda: Yeah.
    Satou: That's why I always think "Come talk to me, I won't bite.".
    Iikubo: Yes, yes, yes!
    Satou: Just like Maachan went up to Harunan to talk to her back then.
    Iikubo/Oda: Yeah.
    Satou: Yeah.
    Iikubo: I know exactly what you mean.
    Satou: I mean, think about it! Masa is 17 and Harunan is 18!
    Oda: Ah, no, no. (lol)
    Iikubo: Ah. (lol) I'm so happy♪ We're only one year apart. (lol)
    Oda: "One year apart". (lol)
    Satou: Hahahaha!
    Iikubo: Only one year apart. (lol) Yeah, we're only one year apart, Maachan. (lol)
    Satou: I'm 17 and you're...
    Oda: Satou-san, you're 18.
    Satou: Huh...?
    Iikubo: Hehe.
    Satou: No, I'm not.
    Iikubo: Maachan, you're 18!
    Oda: Hehehe.
    Satou: Oh no! This is bad!!
    Iikubo: You're 18. (lol)
    Oda: Hehehehe.
    Iikubo: And that is bad. (lol)
    Satou: I'm 18...
    Iikubo: That's bad in more ways than one. (lol)
    Oda: This is baaaad!
    Satou: I'm 18 and you're 24!
    Iikubo: No! I'm 22! (lol)
    Satou: Hehe!
    Oda: Hehehehe.
    Satou: Just think about it!
    Oda: Let's all calm down first. (lol)
    Iikubo: Yeah. Hehehehe.
    Satou: Think about an 18-year-old going up to an 23-year-old to talk to her.
    Iikubo: I said I'm 22! (lol)
    Oda: Hmmm. (lol)
    Satou: Okay, you're 22.
    Iikubo: Yeah.
    Satou: I mean, if Masaki was normal, I wouldn't just talk to you like that.
    Oda: Well, at the very least, you'd have to use polite speech.
    Satou: Yeah, right? But Masaki still just went up to you.
    Iikubo: Yeah.
    Satou: Even though Harunan was older than me, a Senpai in real life...
    Iikubo: Yeah.
    Satou: Masaki was like "Ah, I want to talk to this older girl." and you were the first member I talked to during the audition.
    Iikubo: You're right!
    Oda: Huh...
    Iikubo: You were the first person I talked to too, Maachan!
    Satou: Yeah. I asked Harunan "What's your name? Where are you from? What were you doing?" just like that.
    Iikubo: Yes, yes, yes!
    Oda: Huh...
    Satou: I thought "This older girl is so pretty. I wanna talk to her.".
    Iikubo: Eh, that makes me so happy♪ You're making me blush.
    Oda: What a nice thing to say. (lol)
    Satou: That was when I was 12.
    Iikubo: Yeah.
    Satou: And Harunan was 18.
    Iikubo: Yeah. (lol) I was 16 though.
    Satou: 16. Hahahahaha.
    Iikubo: Hehehehe.
    Oda: Satou-san, you're so bad with numbers. (lol)
    Iikubo: Seriously. (lol)
    Oda: Because you're bad with kanji too. (lol)
    Iikubo: Yeah.
    Satou: Yeah, that's why...
    Iikubo: But Maa is the kind of girl who can easily go up to people to talk to them.
    Satou: Yeah. That's why I'd wish my Kouhai would come up to me too.
    Iikubo: Me too.
    Satou: That's what I think.
    Iikubo/Oda: Yeah.
    Satou: But this time, I guess it wasn't me who made the first step.
    Iikubo: Ah, I see. This time, it was Yamaki-chan who made the first step.
    Oda: Ahh...

It's now past midnight of 3rd November of the year of watashitachi no Kami-sama in Tokyo.
Morning Musume are officially now 20.

We fans hereby give thanks to Boss-man Tsunku (and Up-front's marketing division) & all 41 Musumes for making all of this possible.
May モーニング娘。last many more decades so that the great-grandchildren of our great-grandchildren can still enjoy the works of future MM generations!

P.S. if you ever get to meet any of the 41 Morning Musume members in the future, give them your sincerest "dōmo arigatōgozaimas". We've owed them for twenty years.

Look, I'm happy we're celebrating history, loving Ai no Tane & Morning Coffee like it 1998 again...

...but the absence of some members, who were as key foundations as Kaorin & Sayu were, are absent..it's leaving me a little  :(

I get that flying Junjun & Linlin over are logistically costly, but strangely no Aibon, when her 'scandals' didn't grab as much attention as Yaguchi's news of infidelity?

And where's Goto Maki? Mama Yuko's there, so are the 4th/5th gen members who looked up to her as dear senpai! She's as much heritage as every member who shouldered & currently shouldering Morning Musume's legacy.
Title: Re: The Morning Musume Thread (モーニング娘。)
Post by: Ulutraman on February 12, 2018, 08:37:16 PM
you have to look at the big picture.
there are probably reasons from the side of the company and reasons from the side of the idol for the absence.

in gotos case for example, i get the feeling she wants to distance herself from the early years. never seen her in any reunion (last reunion type appearance on utaban was ages ago, a short time after her grad)
kago is probably considered a problem child from the company and she d probably deny too, even if promised a high sum of money. getting "jailed" at that young age is a bitter memory i m sure.
junjun i m willing to bet wants nothing to do with the company or the memories and linlin probably has bittersweet memories since she was "at war" with junjun for a part of their time together.

i wanted to see kame too but i knew chances were slim to none. hell i wanted to see aika too, kinda worried about her financial situation.
fukuda was and probably is struggling too.

I get that flying Junjun & Linlin over are logistically costly, but strangely no Aibon, when her 'scandals' didn't grab as much attention as Yaguchi's news of infidelity?

And where's Goto Maki? Mama Yuko's there, so are the 4th/5th gen members who looked up to her as dear senpai! She's as much heritage as every member who shouldered & currently shouldering Morning Musume's legacy.

It's not easy to set an appointment for 5 people, much less for 41, counting members alone, there's the staff-san too. Most of the people they got on board are still with the company so there's a little less red tape to cross. Filming days are long and tiring. Some of them just don't want to get back into the limelight.

I was pleasantly surprised they didn't blur Aibon out altogether from the footage. We can't have everything we want.

It's easy to think that anyone would be instantly attracted to a cash grab like this but not everyone is like that. We also don't know if the company didn't try. They might have.

Also from a different perspective: this is 1st gen's 20th anniversary. Everyone else can get their turn later.

Wonderful watching those skits from the old show being revived....

Thought the management did a great job!

A bunch of cuties. IIRC Homare did ballet, Rio claimed to have some singing ability, so we have a dancer and a singer in the new girls. Mei won "best character" award in KSS recitals, and seems to speak English as well.

Good crop, it looks like, nice to get all-new girls once in a while, too.

Yuko Araki appeared on Shabekuri 7 last year, and her love of Hello Project and Morning Musume was discussed quite a bit.
Turns out back in the day she attended the same dance lessons as Momoiro Clover Z at the Stardust Agency.

Rio Sakurai (16) from Tokyo.

We have our second Rio in the group! Amusingly, Rio K. is also her favorite member. A master and disciple, perhaps.  :P

Then: FLIGHT SERGEANT Sato Masaki & SPL WARFARE SERGEANT Miyamoto Karin
