^ Fair enough.

Who designed the t-shirt again? I'll get around to a pic shortly ... also Sai didnt you send me pics of you wearing the shirt? or was that someone else?

Saikami · « **Reply #122 on:** May 12, 2008, 02:47:51 AM »

^ Me and my friend, Tom, designed the shirts.

And yeah, but my head was cut off and I don't think I have them anymore.

^ There are more posted on the Cinderella Musical thread, Reina is so cool in it!!!

Of course, that's normal, but still. She seems like the leader too by how the PV is shot

!!!! I'm glad she got to do this. <3

lonewind · « **Reply #127 on:** May 24, 2008, 06:19:59 PM »

is she? or is it Ai because she's the oldest member in High- King?

Saikami · « **Reply #128 on:** May 25, 2008, 01:19:09 AM »

^I'd imagine it'd be Aichan, but they really make her seem like it.

; So I dunno. Either way, they both rock in the PV

Nouciel · « **Reply #129 on:** May 25, 2008, 03:02:56 AM »

Actually, she self-proclaimed the highest of the kings

Quote from: Translated by Ronin@Hello-Online

- The leader of High-King is of course Aichan?
Takahashi Ai: No, we haven't decided the leader yet. Because it's a unit consisting of each group's leaders and captains.
Tanaka Reina: Then, let's just take the middle and make Reina the leader.
The other 4: We're counting on you.
Tanaka: No, no, no. (lol)
Takahashi: Why not?
Tanaka: Then I'm the "Leader". (lol)

- Well then, the "Leader" should introduce the other members. First Takahashi Ai-chan.
Tanaka: As for Aichan, I know two kinds of Aichan. When she's singing there's a certain something about her that we can't imitate, something that's appropriate for her age. But when it comes to variety, she has a character where you ask yourself if she's not the most childish one among us. One Aichan who's mature and one who's immature. I think the gap between these two makes men go crazy. (lol)

- Next is Shimizu Saki-chan.
Tanaka: The image I have of Saki-chan is "Saki-chan = dance". When I see her in rehearsals of Hello!Project concerts, I think to myself "She's really something else.". Her dance is really intense. Makes you wonder "Isn't it exhausting to dance like that?". Isn't it exhausting?
Shimizu Saki: Well, I can't say it's not exhausting at all...
Tanaka: But you can still keep on dancing for as long as the others. Even though your dancing is much more exhausting. I think it's amazing.
Takahashi: You really like dancing, right?
Tanaka: Yeah, one can directly see that you love to dance.
Shimizu: Thank you very much.

- Next is Yajima Maimi-chan.
Tanaka: The impression I have of Maimi-chan is that she's very modest. She seems well-mannered. Like the daughter of a high-class family. She's intelligent, has a nice personality and is cute... That's the kind of image I have of her. Like she always uses fork and knife when eating. (lol)

- She really seems like you said.
Yajima Maimi: No~ (shy)

- Then Maeda Yuuka-chan (born in December 28th, 1994).
Tanaka: The image I had of Yuuka-chan is that she's tiny, but she's suddenly grown taller. Her face is still like that of a child though. She seems to be calm and gentle, so I'm sure it's very pleasant to be around her.

- Yuuka-chan, surrounded by these 4 (self-called) leaders and captains.... will you do your best?
Maeda Yuuka: Umm.. I'll do my best!
The other 4: Cute~

- Well then, Aichan should introduce Reina-chan since you're both in Morning Musume.
Takahashi: Reina said that I have two different personalities. However that's not the case for Reina at all. She's always just Reina. (lol) She's the one of us with the most distinctive personality, so I think she's a very strong-minded girl.

- What should we pay attention to when listening to your debut single "C\C (Cinderella\Complex)" which will be released on June 11th?
Tanaka: When I first heard that it's the promotion song for "Cinderella the musical", I thought it'd be a ballad. Like "Oh, happiness!". (lol)
Shimizu: But it's a very cool song and the lyrics are a bit sad too.
Yajima: The story of "Cinderella" mothers read out for their children when they're small is about the fulfillment of your dreams. This is a song about a girl who knows that things don't go as well in reality as in dreams.

- What do you think, Yuuka-chan?
Maeda: I haven't sung many "cool" kind of songs in the newcomer performances, so I was worrying if I'll be able to sing it in a cool way. But when I heard the song I thought I'd try to put myself into the position of the main protagonist and do my best.
Takahashi: This unit really has a fresh feel to it. The possibilities are endless and I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen from now on. That's why I want everyone to look forward to "High-King" too.

- The story of "Cinderella" ends with a happy-end. Speaking of "Cinderella", please tell us about "recent happy events" in your lives.
Takahashi: The other day when I got holidays after a long time, I did some extreme shopping. (lol) My mother accompanied me and I bought lots of dresses. I also bought dresses matching with my younger sister's ones etc., it was a lot of fun.
Tanaka: This year we'll go overseas on many occasions. Taiwan, South Korea, Shanghai.. I'm very happy that Morning Musume will get to perform live in many different places.
Yajima: I went to watch "Enchanted" with my mother the other day. I felt very happy after watching that movie and I was also very happy that I could go watch it because I love movies.
Shimizu: As for me, I'm happy that I can take part in this unit. When I see my senpais I think that I still have a long way to go and when I see Yuuka-chan I remember the time when I had only joined. A while ago I was talking about that with Maimi and saying "We were like just like that when we joined.".
Maeda: For me it's being able to take part in this unit as well. When I first heard about it, I was surprised and happy at the same time. I took a photo of the "C\C (Cinderella\Complex)" lyrics card with my cell phone and sent it to my mother.
The other 4: Cute~!

New Reina video at Dohhup. It's just silly stuff, like what Berryz did with a couple of Jingisukan backstage videos (also located at Dohhup).

lonewind · « **Reply #132 on:** May 25, 2008, 05:06:22 AM »

so is Reina like the "captain" of MM since the group consists of leaders from the other groups??

but i'll stop here cuz now im getting really into the whole group positition

Aioros · « **Reply #133 on:** May 25, 2008, 05:28:17 AM »

Ai-chan is the established "leader" of MM. But Reina is the undisputed leader of Aa! though.

Funny clip. Even the staff were laughing at her. You can also hear her accessories clanking. I wonder how heavy those things are

lonewind · « **Reply #134 on:** May 25, 2008, 06:05:08 AM »

i think her bracelents (sp) were the source of the clank and i would think they are hollow. lol but i love watching her reaction to that barrel game!

can't wait for the HQ pv to come out!!

JFC · « **Reply #135 on:** May 25, 2008, 08:33:53 PM »

Quote from: Translated by turbos86@Hello-Online

She was so hyper at the start, she lost all of her math skills, lol~

Serial Reina? She was actually trying to say "Serious" ^^;

Then she thought little Reina would pop out if she sticks the sword into the same hole as the last round and tries to remember which hole it was. The staffs tells her it's different every round. And she's like "NO WAY!!!!!!!!!"

And then she noticed there are prizes to be won if she gets all the swords in.

After it pops, her math skills goes right out the window.

She counted 8 swords in the barrel, "80 seconds!?.....each one 40seconds?.....No wait! LOL......each one 20seconds!!"
Actually, the 8th one doesn't count because it's the one that made it pop, so it's only 7. Each sword is 10 seconds, so she gets 70seconds of PR time.

She goes to pick up the little Reina off the floor and calls it "Reina's little sister".
Finally she corrects herself that it's 10seconds each sword. But.....

"Last round I got 60minutes? AH! Nononononono!!!" ^^;

Miss.Tanaka, you only had 20seconds last round.
She's happy she gets 1minute 10second this time and ask what we want to hear her say, "No doubt it's Cinderella? Cinderella in 1 minute 10 second? No other choice then~ But I haven't practice for this~"

She talks about the stuff with the posters and products. "Please buy the PV, it's sexy!"
And PR time is over, "That was easy!"

"Happy ending?" ^^;

She asks if she can at least look at what the prizes were.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S SO GOOD, LOOK ISN'T IT SO SMALL, ISN'T IT CUTE, ISN'T IT GREAT!"

Too bad she didn't win~
