Summary of the event via twitter, rough translation.

The event started with Kimi Sae, there was a lot of space on stage, after this the girls introduced themselves.

Starting from

Oda: No matter what Nusery song it is, I'll be able to handle it. I am Oda Sakura, the Suppin Utahime of Morning Musume. She's found herself a skill since the AmeSuta broadcast that was shown yesterday.

Kudo: Since there isn't anyone new from the 12th gen member audition, I am still the youngest member of the group.

Ma-chan: Even though I didn't go to school, I did some preparations for it.

Ayumi: "Are you all fired up?" is what she asked the fans, everyone cheered. "I won't lose to your enthusaism!"

Haruna: I aim to become a refreshing manga otaku (hey aren't you already one!)

Suzuki: It started becoming quite dark when it was her turn so she said "My smile will brighten [the place]".

Riho: I couldn't quite understand it properly but she said something about as someone from Hiroshima, she would like to become part of something....

Ikuta: Her usual aiming to become the best idol in the world.

Mizuki: Today in the morning I drank a lot of water...something somehting.

Sayu: I guess to kinda not to lose to the youngsters of the group, "24 year old Sayu, with confidence I put my hair up in an Usa chan peace style."

 
Introductions over they talk about their 3rd consecutive #1 single, Sayu mentions something about if it were a gold medal, it seems like she said something quite witty if someone could translate it please do, this is the text.

「3作連続1位は金メダルで言えば…オリンピックっていう今、取材の方が使いやすいやつを取り入れようとしたんですが使いやすい私のコメントを使ってください」
 

Kudo: When this happened 3 years ago, I wonder what everyone thought though I was only 2 years old. At that time we were moving house but my parents had a lot of morning musume goods. Since Kudo liked MM from before, Sayu tried to tease her and ask who did you like, she replied with not anyone particular but I liked MiniMoni.
 

During the medley, a lot of cheers and screams were heard.
 

End of medley, Mizuki once again tells fans of her gratitude for the 3rd #1 and hopes to create a new history in MM.

Haruna mentioned about the NHK Tenka show she was on, she says that she's won or H!P has won 4 times on that show and she aims to become a Tenka idol.

Sakura says something about how she has only experienced having #1 since joining the group.

Suzuki had said that she will make the place shine with her smile, to all the fans she said that their smiles are brighter than the lighting to which all the wotas cheered.

She also says that lately there have been people talking about morning musume who aren't fans, she wants to do her best to reach out to them.

Ikuta: MM have made a re-break but I wonder if I have, or on the lines of I haven't made mine.

Riho: Said something cool about declaring for Kohaku as well as saying that we won't lose to any other idol groups or the morning musume of the past.

Kudo: She's happy about the 3rd #1 and is also happy as a 13 year old to be a part of the 16 year history.

Ayumi: The lyrics "Triple ii koto..." (3 good things have happened to me) I wonder if Tsunku-san predicted this, it seems like something really lucky is going to happen.

Ma-chan: Today was really fun! Which made everyone feel like it was the end, oh Ma-chan X D

Her use of grammar is funny she says something like the fans of the past and the future, supporting the future morning musume, can you see me?
 
 

Ma-chan is seriously just too funny, I think Ikuta should give the KY medal to her.

Mezamashi Live - Ai no Gundan

[shirenuファクトリー]

AAAHHH ONE OF THOSE PROUD MAMA HEN MOMENTS

@Wagamama: I like Maachan and Fukuchan's "aisaretai" better than Sayashi and Odachan's, oop?!? Also I liked one of Maachan's earlier solo lines, it felt like she was putting pout in it, sounded really cute. Haha.

And to me it always feels like Eripon brings it the most at these mini lives what I mean in her dancing. Pretty cool

I like Eripon's outfit the most, Fukuchan's and Masaki's singing, and also Ishida's dancing and Sayumi's beauty~

Brr, did someone leave a window open? Because I just got chills!

[Estrea]

^ That was a pretty damn brilliant catch-copy actually o_o

"The Morning Musume you knew no longer exists"

YES. Preach it! Hammer it into their heads! Nostalgia is all well and good, and I will never forget any of the OG, but it's quite another thing to wallow in the past and not focus on the present and the future. Whoever came up with this is a genius.
