Magazine interview on MM's latest single, notice theres a little bit of difference with Miki's hair, or is it just me
Translation of the 4 main questions:
Question 1 for Yossi (Y) + Kame (K)
What is the new single/song like?
K: People seem to take "walking" for granted.But if you listen to the song, read & think about the lyrics, you will realise and understand that "walking" is a very important part of our lives.
Y: Yea, although its unlike our usual upbeat songs, this song has a very strong meaning/message behind it. Even during live performances, we can feel that the fans feel very comfortable listening and enjoying it.
K: We also sing and dance this song with a soothing feel. The PV for this song was shot in a ranch and it was a fun experience.
Y: Yea, we have never shot a PV like this in a natural environment, so you'll see alot of happy images of us.
Question 2 for Miki (M) & Ai-chan (A)
How do you like people to praise you?M: For me, i would love to have a partner that accepts me as i am so "Hmm you are good" will be nice.
A: I'm not very good at chatting so "Oh you are quite good at conversations" would be good. I'm always being reminded by the staffs and management to remember to speak more during radio shows and music variety programs.
M: Hmm, i think those words are said to take off the pressure off you, don't you think so?
A: Hmm, maybe its that way. Right now i think doing the radio show with sanma-san will help to train my conversation skills.
M: To get sanma-san to praise us like "Oo, you did well" makes you happy right. We are always being blamed/corrected by sanma-san so to be praised by sanma-san once in a while makes us relieved.
A: Yea, i feel more relieved than happy when being praised by him (laugh).
Question 3 for Michishige Sayumi (S) & Koharu Kusumi (K)
What words/phrases makes you full of vigour?K: There's always some everyday !! even e-mailing friends lifts your spirits up.*cant explain properly the next 2 lines* Although words like "Do your best" are not said directly to you, encouraging words from families and friends make you happy.
S: I like to be encouraged with the words "It's all right" because unlike "Do your best" it doesn't put any pressure on you. On the first day of concerts, members often encourage each other with "It's all right" when they feel nervous before stepping onto the stage (laughs).
K: Un! I agree!!
Question 4 for Gaki-san (G) & Reina (R)
Any luxurious activities recently?R: Recently, i have alot!! I ate shark's fins for the first time and it felt like "spring rain". (I think to indicate that it was a rare occassion because it rarely rains in spring) It tasted so delicious that it surprised me.
G: Hmm, didnt we ate shark's fin on one of the variety program before, and it tasted nice.
R: And i ate "some gyoza", it had shark's fin wrapped within it. It felt so good.
G: That sounds delicious. Recently when i went to a restaurant with Ai-chan, they had 6 types of dessert and since Ai-chan wanted to try all, we ordered everything. We ate everything up while mentioning "isnt this luxurious" to each other.
