Yuko-sama's new single is up on H!O.
I'll give you a quick translation of what she said. (The audio is of poor quality so it's hard to pick up on some of what she said). There's alot of Q & A where she reads off questions from her fans and does her best to answer them.1. She's immediately surprised that the Taiwan fans seem to understand her Japanese even before there was any interpreting.2. There's alot of cheering from her fans when she mentioned how she's looking forward to drinking some Taiwanese beer 3. Question from a fan: What was your most memorable experience being in Morning Musume?Answer: No simple answer. The initial debut as a Momusu, meeting interesting ppl, graduation, etc.4. Q: What was your favorite Momusu song?A: Renai Revolution 21, but I have alot of favorites. Like "sexy fuwa fuwa". (I guess it's a reference to 'Sexy Boy"). I'll go to karaoke with my friends and sing these. 'Chimata de uwasa no sexy fuwa fuwa".5. Q: What Taiwanese cuisine or fruits are you looking forward to eating?A: Tapioca pudding. I ate some Taiwanese cusiine before I left Japan so that I can compare the difference, to see what authentic Taiwanese cuisine will belike. I like ramen. Shoronpou (chinese dumplings). (The audience & the MC (host) asked her about bananas. "NO WAY!! No banana! Scared of bananas!" Q: What about mango? A: I love it!6. Q: What are thoughts about your new single (Danna-sama) and what did to you want to express/communicate thru it?A: What perfect timing. Well you know I'm married in this song. (Lot's of cheering from the fans and I couldn't pick up what she was saying due to poor audio quality and all the noise from the cheering. Then the MC (host) taught her how to say "husband" in taiwanese.7. Q: What was your honest feelings when they (tsunku) named your group "Morning Musume" when you first debuted 10 years ago?A: Honestly? I thought it was a practical joke by Tsunku at first. It was a bit embarassing at first, but I came to love the name. I'm guessing everyone snickered at the name at first.8. Q: What sort of acting roles do you look forward to playing in your next [or future] stage plays?A: While she tried to think of something, the crowd all screamed 'Yankii!" in unison . Yuko then said, "OK, Yankii, then!" Then the crowd wanted her to say "Gazen tsuyome" which she used to say in MaidoAri as a yankii. I guess Yuko's famous for her yankii character everywhere even in Taiwan 9. Q: What are your future hopes for HP & Momusu?A: Just like alot of fans love and support HP & Momusu, I plan to do the same. Always looking after them, caring for their health & happiness...Geez, I'm beginning to sound like their aunt (ha, ha).10. Q: What made you audition 10 years ago?A: I justed had a burning desire to become an artist/singer.At the end, the MC (host) says Yuko should enjoy all the Taiwan beer she wants. laugh.gif She receives some sort of gift(?) or something from the MC at the end of the event (poor sound & and no visuals to confrim what this gift was), but it was called "Taiwan no Kaze' which is a play on her single, "Shanghai no Kaze'. So that's a rough brief translation.
