These two are so freaking adorable! :heart:
Quite true! Hope these 2 kids will continue being adorable even after they grow up :P Though they'll never be as adorable as the SayaIshi couple to me XD

Interviewer: Today I would like to talk about what has been going on latey in Morning Musume '14. Well, first of all, everybody seems to be noticing how much Sato-san's concert performance skills have grown. What do you think?
Sato: Um, not really, I don't thi-
Oda: (interrupting) Yes! Definitely a change occurred in Sato-san shortly following Tanaka (Reina)-san's graduation. It is like she is striving to fill the void left by Tanaka-san's departure, or maybe aiming for a similar position in the group. Just to illustrate: Tanaka-san always sings the consonants strongly, and the vowels softly, and this creates her signature rhythm and style of singing which Sato-san is very faithfully trying to reproduce. Even if you ask everyone to simply hum a melody, I can easily tell Sato-san from the rest because of that.
Sato: Actually, at times I feel a little depressed because my voice is so unlike the others.
Interviewer: It is kind of too high, is it not?
Sato: It is. And I talked to the voice teacher and we came up with a plan to emphasize the consonants and just go on laying on the stress like «Bang! Bang!» This is what I am now experimenting with.
Oda: I see, singing aggressively right from the beginning. So that your words really sound sharp and clear.
Sato: Right, so if I have to be different because of my voice, al least I want to be different in a good way. It has nothing to do with trying to imitate Tanaka-san, really...
Oda: I understand now.
Interviewer: I have to admit I never expected to hear such serious talk from Sato-san (laughs). And what about you Oda-san? Have you been getting accustomed to being part of the group?
Oda: I think so. Recently I have been kind of studying the other members, so hard it even has me worried (laughs).
Sato: Oda-chan always knows what everybody is thinking!
Oda: Not really. Somebody like Ikuta (Erina)-san or Suzuki (Kanon)-san, they are very genuine persons, so when they are stressed or they are happy, all those emotions are on their faces. No deep psychology involved; rather, I just watch and note: so this is how she looks when she feels this way.
Sato: Still, Oda-chan, I think nobody understands all of us better than you do.
Oda: Speaking of which, recenty Ikuta-san and Suzuki-san are becoming really good friends. In the dressing room the two are always together, chatting.
Sato: Very different from us the 10-gen. Somehow each of the four of us is doing her own thing more and more often these days. It does not help that two out of the four are so capricious... and I am talking about A and M here.
Interviewer: A and M?
Oda: I think it stands for (Ishida) Ayumi and (Sato) Masaki.
Sato: Since we are both so temperamental, sometimes we even fight. If the 10-gen members were classmates in school, I do not think we would even talk to each other. Especially not me and Runan (Iikubo Haruna), we would never talk.
Oda: Because you would not even be classmates. Different school years. (laughs)
Interviewer: Is there any member, in particular, who you noticed go through a big change recently?
Sato: Asami! Though she always was a hard worker, she has taken in to a new level I think. She is rewatching the videos from our concerts I do not know how many times. I think, she is drawing her inspiration from Sayashi (Riho)-san, or maybe, wants to challenge her.
Interviewer: Or maybe she is in love with her (laughs)
Sato: (ignoring) And, she now talks a lot! And I mean really! In the variety shows, she now always wants to be in front. Completely different from before.
Interviewer: It seems like you are on a course for more and more TV appearances. Your talk show skills are going to be tested.
Oda: Training to become better singers and dancers is something we are used to, but teaching somebody to become an exciting person to talk to is different. It is difficult. When I am watching variety shows now, I try to grasp what makes them work, but... Makes you wish there was something like lessons you could take and turn into a good speaker.
Sato: In fact! I did take a lesson in articulation. I thought, I must prepare, I must be ready to talk on the shows. But the instructor said after the first class, «This girl is good, nothing there to teach her», and that was it.
Interviewer: Whatever you lack in training, Sato-san, I think you more than make up for in raw energy. But somehow you are surprisingly silent on TV?
Sato: Because they would not let me talk. They say, «We turn you loose and god knows what will fly out of your mouth.»
Oda: But I feel it is really valuable to refine those conversation skills. Because you look at how the sempais do the talking and they are very good. Or you watch «Okajo» and it is very funny and good. And it is what we are going to be measured against.
***
Interviewer: How are relationships within the group? If rumors tell the truth, Sato-san is sticking to Michishige Sayumi-san like glue?
Oda: Very true. They are absolutely never apart, or should I say, Sato-san is never far away from Michishige-san.
Interviewer: With Sato-san monopolizing the group's leader like that, do other members feel it unfair? Or slightly boring?
Oda: Hmmmm... But there is a big positive side to it, too. Michishige-san is a group member like us, but she is also this great sempai who has been fighting on for more than 10 years. And sometimes you cannot help but feel hesitant around her, like when you want to talk to her. But not when Sato-san is also there; with her around, everything just clicks together.
Sato: I, basically, I think I just like talking to everyone. It was great that they filmed that dokkiri (※新春豪華どっきり祭り！3時間半SP), because there you can really see how we are with each other, how everyone is a good friend.
Interviewer: Pardon this question, but did none of you... suspect anything at the time? Honestly?
Oda: How were we supposed to?
Sato: Afterwards, everybody was like «I knew something was not right!» But at the time? I had plugged my cell phone into the wall to charge, and it charged all right too. You would never have expected that wall to come tumbling down!
Interviewer: It was impressive how quickly you scrambled up to sing.
Oda: Me, I was pretty quick at realizing it was a dokkiri in progress, so to speak. I think I knew when I saw the audience. So I thought, «Aha, this is what they had in store for us.»
Sato: I was completely dumbfounded, completely! First, Ayumi shirieks «Hyaaaa!» and I think, is something up? But I look at the clock on my phone, it is still early in the morning and I decide to drift back to sleep (laughs), but then I look around and, what? The walls are gone?...
Oda: For one moment it looked like what you would see in a sento, with that great triangular shape of Mt. Fuji stretching all the way across the view.
Sato: I gazed at the clouds and thought: «I must be in heaven. I died. Farewell, Mother, I am sorry I cannot be with you anymore...» Then the blasts of music came and I jumped up and «What?! What?!» (laughs)
Oda: They did a remarkable job with the stage. They arranged those pieces of cloth, in our member colors, with a microphone neatly placed on each one; cameras and screens and all; they even labeled the seat aisles. Helpful guys that they are. (laughs)
Sato: It was painfully cold. All I wanted was to stay inside my futon. Or at least put on my socks. But the music is playing. Where are the socks? Or must I look for my microphone first? I was panicking. And all the underwear and luggage was strewn around, too...
Oda: It was something.
Sato: I have been making a point of lifting my hair off my forehead. This is my look. But in the dokkiri they filmed me with my hair down... All the hard work! (laughs)
Oda: They really caught you off guard (laughs)
Sato: To prepare for any dokkiris they may pull off in the future, I had mom buy me 10 new pajamas. Come at me all you want, you will never catch me again wearing such uncool clothes! (laughs)
Interviewer: Ikuta-san was wearing that leopard pajama, was she not? Completely in character.
Sato: She was! Like, «I am so yankii» (laughs)
Oda: It sure was a cold day, too. But we had loads of fun.
Interviewer: All right. So, this year there is a new name for the group, and it feels like everyone is prepped and ready for a big battle: «This is the year we get to the top!» Any final thoughts you may want to share?
Sato: WDMB!
Interviewer: Huh? What?
Sato: Will do my best!
Oda: Sato-san has been infected with the acronym disease. She cannot resist calling everything by the first letters. I think we already had a little preview with the «A and M». (laughs)
Interviewer: I see (laughs) Well, so as to not spread the acronym disease around, let us not go much deeper than «WDMB». The question is, you will do your best to ...?
Sato: To remember dates! I am always confused when it comes to dates..
Oda: She comes to you several times every day: «What day is it today?» Or «What day of the week is it tomorrow?»
Interviewer: She did not properly learn about time?
Oda: Or «I know what it is today, but what will it be in two days?...»
Sato: Yeah, it is me! I really want to be able to imagine the calendar in my head. WDMB!
Interviewer: Oda-san, anything you want to add?
Oda: As you said, the group has been renamed «'14». I suppose, a year from now we will be «'15», then «'16», and so on. This means the group that was called «Morning Musume» is now history.
Interviewer: I guess so.
Oda: When people hear about «Morning Musume '14», I mean the ordinary people not fans, they will probably think it is a new group, some kind of a little sister group to the «real» Morning Musume... And, most of us here are actually junior high students, too. What this brings me to think about is the history, the 16 years of history behind this project which will forever remain a very important thing to me. With our current team of ten, we are hoping to propel this group into a new age, but we must not forget we are building on what our sempais managed to achieve.
Interviewer: You want to take pride in both what «'14» is, and what «Morning Musume» was.
Oda: I want us to remain loyal to the memory of «Morning Musume», and maybe the future generations will follow in our footsteps, and who knows, maybe the songs of «'14» will still be there for, maybe, «'37» to sing? So I think what we are trying to create now is extremely important, too. Even though I am currently the one with the least time in the group, I always keep in mind that I am writing a part of this history, too.
Interviewer: Great. Thank you very much!
Sato: TYT!

--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!
---
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-.

I went to the H!P concerts on August 8th, and Sakura had a solo MC on the stage with Makoto during the first one of the day. It was the same concert as the one on H!P station vol 130.
Sakura started talking about eye-makeup, and said that Maa-chan is a genius at it. She said that Maa-chan is the only one "properly" doing it, and was having some difficulties explaining why... so, she asked the staff to put a blown-up picture of Maa-chan on the big LED screen.
The staff put a funny picture of Maa-chan on the screen, and Sakura ran up the stairs and started pointing at big screen at the back of the stage.
She was shouting "see this here?!? This line here below the eye is so perfect!! Here next to her eye too, how it darkens, and that shape!! Maa-chan suteki!" etc, etc... and she was SOOOO energetically into it, to the point of almost shouting ^-^ She was totally fangirling all over a giant, blown-up closeup of Maa-chan's eyes on the giant screen at the top of the stairs. Myself (and a lot of others too) were laughing quite hard, because of how cute it was, and how much she was into Maa-chan's eyes ^-^
Makoto had to call her down off the top of the stage after a few minutes, because she probably had lost track of time... infatuating over Maa-chan's eyes :nervous

This gave me chills (and I mean that in a good way :) ).

Excerpt from recent Billboard interview
——Also, at that time, you could say it was the period where the Satou Masaki × Oda Sakura combination was ready, where scenes of the two of you singing and getting paired steadily increased. For you, what sort of existence was Maa-chan?
Oda Sakura: Since that was the first time I'd met such a person......because I was blessed with the opportunity to work with a person like this, I felt that surely this would be a big event in my life. Within, there was also a great sense of, "a colleague who gets along with everyone!", "A friend!" And to work with that person—not to mention a senior member, but younger. Therefore, I strongly feel something was completed since our meeting as Morning Musume. She's sort of a mysterious person isn't she. There's not many people with that kind of influential ability, and for me, she's an established category of her own.
——Up until she became Morning Musume。'15, there was often an exterior image of her only being able to speak in, if I had to say, an "airheaded" or "odd girl" kind of way, but I think you were the member that mentioned from the beginning, "Satou-san is an amazing person."
Oda Sakura: That's cause she is a genius. Since before joining Morning Musume。I've thought ah, this person's a genius. Even working with her now I think to myself, she's a genius.
——Due to a herniated lumbar intervertebral disk, her activities paused. Regarding when Morning Musume。'17—as is; with her absence—also started to form their activities, what sort of feelings or thoughts did you have?
Oda Sakura: What I thought was amazing was at that time was the speed of the members' response. At rehearsal, it got to "Positions will be changed. Singing parts will be changed" and in the transferred performance of "Morning Musume。'16 Concert Tour Autumn ～My Vision～", held in Hokkaido, suddenly Ogata Haruna-chan also couldn't appear due to influenza. But in the morning of that day we were bam-bam-bam with "I think if we do it like this it'd look better", "With that position, I'll move like this", and over several hours, we considered, changed, suggested, and brought it to perfection. It wasn't "So-and-so received so-and-so's singing part so let's cover it like them" or "Let's fill so-and-so's vacancy", but from the awareness of filling in for a vacancy, I think everyone kind of held a sense of, "How do I enchant people with my part that's just for today." If you ask me about a crisis, though it was a crisis, if you ask me how did it get to that point, I think it was also a chance.
——I see.
Oda Sakura: However, without Satou-san the liveliness was expectedly lacking (laughs). With Morning Musume, though it's a large number of people, without just one person it rather feels not enough.
——Well then, with the news of "Satou Masaki Stage Activities Resumption" announced the other day, what were your feelings in being able to work together again?
Oda Sakura: Finally we're all together, I thought. Therefore I hope people come see that. There'll be people there who have been looking forward to it all along, for it'll finally be the original Morning Musume。'17, altogether with Satou-san. Certainly even in the form of 12 members without Satou-san, at that time, while I want to show what we'd built during that time, by adding a single person there and how the balance changes—that is also what I'm really looking forward to. I've seen how she connects with the 12th gen. at times and thought, that's pretty funny, so I'd also like to see her mingling with the 13th gen. soon.
——In the news notice, written in her own words, "Though I was told by staff members and my family, "Why don't you rest a bit more?", I really know about my body the most! I will return to Morning Musume!"—while I felt there was a very strong will, what were your thoughts?
Oda Sakura: With our bodies, you never know right? That's why for us as well, should I say, "Please rest for now", should I be supportive? Honestly I don't know what to say, however if that's where Satou-san's feelings are, I'd like to answer with that. Therefore, with Satou-san coming back for the Spring tour this time; myself standing on stage, full of my current feelings—with emphasis on those—wanting to know how the 13th gen. will turn out; wanting to know how the group will turn out—with the various things piling up, in a good way, I can't imagine how things will turn out. Therefore, I'm really looking forward to it. How will it turn out?
The interview transitioned to discussing about Riho afterwards. Later on, the topic was about Jealousy Jealousy.
——And with that title, I'd like to ask a cliche question: who's the member you feel most jealous of?
Oda Sakura: The person that flashed into mind just now was Satou-san.
——The reason?
Oda Sakura: Cause she's a genius. For example, something that takes me until 4AM in the morning to give form, Satou-san would just finish it in a flash. If I convey an answer that I finally derived after searching excessively for years, she'd just say, "Ah, that thing!" Something that I'd require time to steadily build, doing my best all the way until now, Satou-san would just finish through intuition. I often think, "Even though I was up last night, spending hours doing it......Satou-san just finished it in an instance?" and am envious of that. Also, I envy her ability to get along with people......I think it's amazing.

Might want to give people a warning to turn the volume down on this one for the first 3 seconds or so.
:lol:

—At last year's Budoukan, Satou-san(Satou Masaki: 10th generation), who stood with you, her presence was also amazing. While I think the performance of the two of you will become the engine that drives Morning Musume '18's "Live Power" from here on out, how do you feel with regards to Satou-san?
Oda While Satou-san is my senior, nevertheless, I don't want her to be a person that sees me taking a step back and currently it feels like we respect each other while both thinking, I won't lose. However, since my feeling—of not wanting to lose to Satou-san—itself is frustrating, I want to always be thinking, I haven't lost. Conversely, I don't want her to make me believe that I simply won, and I have a feeling she also feels the same. It's okay even if we're not especially close. While I don't want a bad relationship, frustrating but cool, or frustrating but expectedly her singing is good, that level of distance would be just right. Of course, when it comes to the members, I really like everyone though.
—You know for expressive people that's a wonderful relationship. For you're able to raise each other.
Oda She's a clump of amazing sense. Since she's someone able to just do anything, she would simply just make it her own through picking up only a little. With dancing as well, I would think, I wonder what I have to do to freely maneuver my body to that point, I wonder how much I have to practice to catch up to her level. If Satou-san seems like a genius, I feel I would just have to spend time to catch up to her.
