More Koha-rant coming right up~ enjoy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
KonUsaPi #119 2008-01-13
-Sayu's scared that time is going by too fast.
-It's Jan 13th so in exactly half a year, she'll be turning 20!
Quiz Shigesagon[What colour is associated with the official residence of the president of the united states?]
-Sayu: pink? blue? something house! blue house! green houses?!
[Sayu and Koharu did a radio show together. Listener wants Koharu on KonUsaPi]
-Sayu really does feel like calling on Koharu at least once but one week (of shows with Koharu) is already more than enough.
-Koharu seriously talks endlessly but is my paced at the same time.
-Koharu thinks it's normal and actually says "Koharu is normal" that's why picking on her doesn't work because she thinks she's perfectly fine the way she is
-often when they are together, if Sayu were to poke fun at Koharu...Mitsui would give in while JunJun would counter.
-There's no reaction from Koharu..it feels not worth doing and it's tiring. that's why Sayu wants only 1 week
-but being around koharu, koharu is the type to not get discouraged so it's comforting that Sayu can say anything without hesitation.
[what warm drink do you drink in the winter?]
-hot soy milk latte
-there's a coffee shop by the train station close to her house so when she gets off the train she'd ask the shopkeeper for a hot soy latte
-she extremely likes the warm feeling when holding the drink and she loves the foam on top
-she thinks the whole concept of a girl, holding onto a hot soy latte drink when it's cold out, is really cute. She buys it not out of thirst or anything but because she likes that feeling.
-Sayu also likes the fact that since she has to walk a bit from the train station, she'd take a taxi. Since it's exactly one meter from there to get home the cost is 660 yen. That leaves 340 yen in change and the drink at the coffee place happens to be 340 yen. So Sayu can pay for it all perfectly with 1000 yen. *
-it doesn't work now that the cost is 710 yen but before if all goes according to plan then she can pay with one 1000 yen bill.
-she really likes winter. she likes the melancholy, bitter-sweet feeling of it.
-it's puzzling since bitter-sweet feelings have a painful image to it and that's why people tend not to like the feeling but Sayu really likes it.
[what was the reason you were chosen to be Koharu's mentor over Reina and Eri?]
-Sayu really doesn't know the details. She was just told by her manager to do things. At dance lessons she was told to be by Koharu's side.
-she even found it strange at the time
-At a time when koharu wasn't around in the dressing room, her manager called Sayu in for a talk concerning Koharu.
-Sayu was thinking the one that has to be her educator would have a lot of trouble and then the manager said "it's you, Michishige" and Sayu was like "Ehhhh!?"
-then it started to make sense and Sayu figured they planned this from the beginning but she didn't listen to the details
-right now she's glad she did it.
-when she was doing it, she remember really wanting to stop and then suddenly she thought to herself "today I'll really quit doing it" and she did

-she thinks the problem is Koharu's too free
-Sayu couldn't believe it was like the expression in one ear and out the other.
-it's easy to forget things and with koharu she'll forget something right away so Sayu told her she better write it down. Koharu replies with a "hai!" but she never did do it. it's like she's doesn't even pick up a pen

-Sayu was worried over what to do since it was the first time she had to advise someone younger
-Being in the tennis club, she knew of senpai-kouhai relations back in 1st year of jr high but in second year jr high she joined morning musume. so she only experienced being a kouhai.
-Sayu could give advice and teach on how to do certain things but she can't scold.
-her manager told her it's okay to get angry but when thinking about it...Sayu's only had experience being mad at her mom and she doesn't know how to tell someone off that's not blood related.
-Because of Sayu's inability, Eri's the one that would do the telling off instead. Sayu feels really bad for Eri because it made Eri look bad but Eri would do it when she sees Sayu having trouble. Sayu then didn't know what to do because she felt so bad for Eri.
-This was a completely different challenge to her and in all honesty it was a really hard time for her
-now she's glad she did it and now she can properly talk with koharu from the heart
Usachan peace-when Sayu opens her cellphone and it says something like 1:22 she'll feel like she has to do the usachan peace. (the 2s are like the bunny ears)
-She has this idea if she doesn't do the usapeace it'll disappear.
-if it's 1:22 she'll do it once, 2:22 twice, 3:22 three times
-it's quite an ordeal since it comes up often and it's pretty embarrassing
-if she were at home she could just do the usachan peace normal
-She's not that concern if it's after work but if she's on the way to work and it happens to be 22 she feels the need to do the peace else she's worried something bad will happen
-in order to hide what she's really doing, she'd pretend to be tucking away a strand of hair behind her ears before it becomes 23 minutes
-it's pretty rough when comes to times like 9:22 but Sayu believes it can't be avoided
Ongaku Gatas concert-Sayu was seated 5 meters from the stage on the second floor
-Sayu blew Yossie a big kiss while Yossie was waving at them
-Sayu went with linlin and Gaki san
Sharan Q anniversity concert-lately Sayu's really into Sharan Q's Single Bed
-she really likes the lyrics specially the part that goes "I thought love would be more common than stones. But it's harder to find than diamonds..."
-she thinks Tsunku is really amazing
-as for the dressing room, the OG had separate dressing rooms
-morning musume, Berryz Koubo, C-ute, the possible, and the canary club were together
-everyone sat in their grounps
-but Maasa from Berryz is very physical, in that she's into skin ship. Maasa would go "Kamei~ saan, Takahashi~ saan~, Michishige~ saan~" Sayu finds it cute.
-the difference between Morning Musume and the other groups is Morning Musume does all their own hair and make-up. With the exception of helping out new members...like Sayu used to help do Koharu's ponytail. but usually they all do it themselves.
-with Berryz and C-ute, all the members help each other.
-Sayu thought it was a very refreshing sight that was fun to watch
-it felt very much female high school student like
[listener that often checks out the radio web page notices Sayu often wears black. What would you do if Reina wanted the pink colour and wanted you to switch to black?]
-Sayu doesn't like the sound of that. Sayu knows that Reina likes pink but she has a much stronger purple imagine.
-Sayu liked pink even before joining morning musume.
-it's not even about liking anymore, it's more like the colour is apart of her. so even without pink clothes, she feels pink. She is pink.
-today she's wearing pink and is glad the world has the colour
-though Sayu does like black more for clothes. It has an adult feel.
-accessories have to be pink though. Her mom told her that the accessories would look good in black but since she likes pink, she'd go for pink accessories instead.
Drama kissing-when watching a kissing scene in a drama, her sister would be all "kyaaaa~ ah sugoi" in response.
-when watching tv together her sister is a bit loud. Not so much with variety shows but during dramas she'd ask questions like "what does that mean?" and cries a lot during moving scenes.
-Sayu has no idea what to do while watching a kissing scenes with her parents around
-if Sayu were to have a child she's sure she wouldn't want her kid watching.
-Sayu doesn't know what her mom thinks of it but when her mom's around it becomes extremely embarrassing
-it'd appear weird if she changed the channel all of the sudden so she figures the best thing to do is do nothing and hopes it passes by quickly.
-when with her sister it's all kyaa~ between the two of them but when with her mom it's extremely awkward. She really hates awkward moments like that.
Ants-back in Yamaguchi, at their grandma's place, there's a field where they have strawberries growing.
-Sayu and her sister would pluck them when they are hungry.
-because the strawberries are sweet there are usually ants. Sayu tries to avoid the ants while her sister, being hungry, wouldn't really think about it and eat the strawberries with the ants.
-it's really hard to tell if there are ants or not so Sayu may possibly have eaten some with ants too

-her sister would just eat a whole bunch of strawberries without thinking of anything
-even now it's a very vivid memory
Sayu has no sense of direction-During the whole duration of elementary school, Sayu didn't know where the principal's office was.
-she was told that the staff room is next to the principal's office by a beautiful 28 year old teacher.
-Sayu had no idea where that was but didn't want to say so because she happen to admire this teacher.
-The teacher doesn't work there anymore because she's now married but back then Sayu really admired her and thought she was extremely beautiful
-Sayu didn't want the teacher to think she was an idiot so she just replied with "Hai! I understand" like a good girl
-when she asked her friends for directions they were shocked that she couldn't remember where it was after being there for 6 years
-it also took her a really long time to figure out how to get home from the train station.
-even when taking a taxi home they'd end up going in circles
-even a 5 minute trip to the nearby convenience store took 30 minutes once
Berryz songs-From Berryz album, FIVE, Sayu likes Real Love and Baka ni Shinade
-Real Love being a Sugaya Risako solo song.
-she really likes Risako's voice.
-for Morning Musume she likes Reina's voice. it's calming and has a nice feel to it.
-of the Berryz she's closest to Risako
-she likes baka ni shinade because of Risako again and that it's really cool. It's adult-like. She likes to sing it at karaoke.

*in Japan you don't have to tip while taking a taxi so the exact charge is 660 yen for the first 2km but now it's gone up to 710 yen after being at 660 for the last 10 years. Sayu really does say 1 meter but I hope she meant 1km
