So Philo please describe in detail how you felt the moment you heard your letter being read by Ayaka herself 
. Should be interesting to hear 
I was half asleep listening to the episode in sort of a trance, when all of a sudden Ayaka started going on in English. I backed the mp3 up, and I heard her read my name and the letter (which was edited, but I'll get into that later). That's about when I started twitching with glee. By the time she finished translating and gets to discussing the question and answer with Mai, I was jumping up and down with my headphones on. Once they moved on to the next segment, I paused it and told everyone I can reach (including SMP via e-mail; I had to brag to the other Coconuts Musume fan). It was about four hours before I was calm enough to listen to the rest of the episode, and I spent the next few days making this face ->
The part that was edited was the last paragraph. I wrote about how it kind of sucks being a fan outside of Japan; not being about to join the fan club, go to concerts, etc. She didn't read it on the air, but I get the feeling that was what got my letter attention. That and the fact I wrote it in English. I don't know how many times I've written to H!P radio shows, but the one time I wrote in English, it got read. Of course, that wouldn't work with any of the other radio shows, so it's a Catch 22: Write in Japanese, you don't get read. Write in English, you aren't understood so you don't get read.
BTW, I wrote all of this before on JPM shortly after the letter was read in the radio show thread there. I wonder what happened to it...
