(2020-01-28) non-no

Morning Musume。'20 new single ★ Cute pictures and an interview exclusively !

Morning Musume。'20 have three new members !

Haga Akane : It's been a long time since Morning Musume。'20 appeared in "non-no" magazine, I'm so happy ! On previous June, three new members joined : Kitagawa Rio, Yamazaki Mei and Okamura Homare. They have already improved a lot since then.

Morito Chisaki : It adds a good atmosphere. I feel like I got younger thanks to them (laughs).

Oda Sakura : New members are so wonderful ♡

Kaga Kaede : It's interesting to be able to welcome new people who are very different from each other (laughs). Please welcome them and take care of them.

Oda : Let's compare them (laughs).

Haga : Among the three, Kitagawa Rio-chan seems to be the one who brings a mature point of view to everything around her. She's like a big sister - in age as well as in character.

Kitagawa Rio : Yes. But there are many areas where they are more gifted than me, so we can still help each other !

Morito : Don't you think that since the three new members joined, songs in concerts are cuter ?

Haga : Indeed ! Morning Musume。'20 initially had a cool aspect, in view of our dances or our lyrics. But I want to our audiance know we are also capable of being super cute ! Personally, right now, I'm trying to work to participate in more MC during concerts. And you all ?

Yokoyama Reina : I want to make lots of different songs on stage so I practice singing new genres.

Kaga : It's pretty much the same ! I want to improve myself in dance and have a free interpretation of our choreographies.

Sato Masaki : I want people notice Kaga's dance even more because she's really talented ! For my case, I think more and more about my future, especially when I'm with Ishida Ayumi.

Oda : I'm one of the ace in group, yet I feel like I have a lot of flaws that I need to improve. Lately, I've been watching the new generation closely because it intrigues me a lot.

Kitagawa : I pay attention to my facial expressions by taking example from Yuko Akari whom I really like. I often watch his films.

Haga : Morning Musume。'20 have a lot of members today, our performances are really effective.

Sato : I agree. I have been feeling a real unity within the group lately.

Oda : We are all friends between us and we laugh a lot. I feel comfortable in the group. And our performances are really cool.

14 members who all bring something unique to the group ♡

Fukumura Mizuki : Morning Musume。'20 have welcomed new members recently. The group aspect was enriched thanks to that.

Ikuta Erina : Last year, we were able to participate in ROCK IN JAPAN festival. I'm happy to be able to take on such big challenges over the years.

Okamura Homare : Coming into Morning Musume。'20, I was really looking forward to concerts ♡

Nonaka Miki : New members are super cute, but they also have each a distinct personality. Yamazaki Mei-chan will be very angry with her senpai if we don't talk about panda once.

Yamazaki Mei : We must cherish panda-san !!

Fukumura : Yamazaki and Okamura are in high school and didn't know how to wear makeup before joining the group.

Okamura : It was fun to learn. My senpai taught me to put on eyeliner and now I do it all the time. But I especially like pink makeup.

Yamazaki : I was happy to learn it too, because I tried often but it was wrong. Thanks ♡

Fukumura : I noticed Yamazaki really likes to make up the cheekbones. But we still have to help her or she puts too much (laughs).

Ishida Ayumi : Our strength is resigned to that. All members are cute in their own way. These are girls who can be as cute in concert as in magazine. Morning Musume。are unique.

Ikuta : There's also a big gap between our cool and energetic performances, with cute and sweet performances.

Makino Maria : During concerts, we are very close to our audience. Also thanks to our instagram accounts, we are close to all our fans in general.

Nonaka : That's why my pictures are with all members in my instagram feed. We are a family and Fukumura-san is everyone's mother.

Fukumura : So Ishida is family's father ? And Ikuta ... grandfather (laughs) ?

Ikuta : It's not that kind of family (laughs) ! But it's true we are all very close. This feeling of unity is unique and incredible. It may be true, we are a family.

Makino : That's how I decided to appear at the ROCK IN JAPAN festival.

Ishida : We rehearse in a heated room like on D-Day. That way, we can take the opportunity to test makeup products and see which one to put on D-Day so that it doesn't run down due to sweat.

Fukumura : It's great to be able to come back to this festival this year. I want to create wonderful memories with the new members on this stage !
