MC REPORT

・First concert

・Motto Corner (Oda, Makino, Yamazaki)
Oda's motto : "I want to sit more!"

She doesn't have a chair with a back in her house and she doesn't want to buy a sofa otherwise her cats will damage it with their claws. She just sit down on her futon and spend most of her rest time at home there, watching something on Netflix.
Makino spend most of her rest time at home using her smartphone and eating some snacks. She likes to slow down and take her time to do things.
Yamazaki spend most of her rest time at home eating candies. 

・Unit song
"Koi wa Toki ni" (Ikuta, Ishida, Nonaka)

Ishida is happy to sing that song because it's been a while, especially when she sings it alongside original members from the song.


・Members' impressions

Yumigeta : I remember Happy birthday to Me! was the opening song from the previous tour, in which I came as part as the audience on May 4 at Shizuoka. When we performed it today, I was moved to see everyone smiling.

Inoue : I found fun to have eyecontacts with each of the members today, so I'd like to continue. To do this, I'll continue to put my drops in my eyes to reduce the effects of pollen and see other members better!

Sakurai : I've been wearing mostly pastel colors, but this time I wore a primary-colored costume. For the first time, I wore blue costume with a long skirt, I wanted to do my best to make it look good!

Yamazaki : During KOKORO&KARADA performance, lights were blue and red. Do you remember it? It was the same than during 15th generation debut tour. It made me nostalgic and realized how much we grew up. I'll do my best to grow up even more!

Okamura : There were lots of time we had to wear masks the last years, but I see less and less people to wear it. I'm happy, because I can see you all smiles on your face. Please keep smiling during our concerts.

Kitagawa : I like to travel alone lately, I went to visit Paris and Kyoto, and sometimes I like to go to the countryside during our tours. So if you know attractive things in your region, please recommend them to me!

Yokoyama : I'm not sure everyone noticed it but I've done my hair in blonde. I've completely changed my look, and I'm determined to do my best to show a new side of myself in terms of performance as well.

Haga : Maybe it's because I had so much fun today and yesterday as well, but I feel like my whole body is exciting and I can't stop myself to jump everywhere etc. I'll be careful and rest well tonight!

Makino : Next volume of BUNGO by Ninomiya Yuji goes on sale tomorrow! (and she did a catchphrase from the story)

Nonaka : Thanks to Makino's MC, I was able to see everyone's faces on the aduience, but I noticed that lots of people got the t-shirt from the tour. I'm happy because I really think this tour's goods are cute! Please wear our t-shirt even if you don't come to our concerts, so you will feel like you do~!

Oda : Yesterday, Akane made me realized it was first concert since my 25th birthday and her first as well since her 22th birthday. This birthday marks the fact she dedicated half of her life to Hello! Project and I realized it was the same for me. This time is very precious, I want to cherish it and enjoy it with everyone.

Ishida : The other day, I announced I'll stop to work with Tokyo Sports, something I was doing since 2015. Lots of fans were sad. But this concert is coming to an end too and it was still fun. So please keep enjoy the smallest thing!

Ikuta : Today it was 22°C and it was hot. I think you all might wanted to stay outside but you chose to come here with us, with the heat too. I'm happy to see lot of people still coming to enjoy our performance!

・Second concert

・Motto Corner (Yokoyama, Okamura, Inoue)
Okamura's motto : "I want to talk more about pollen damage."

Yokoyama : You're right! You're right! Is Haru-san suffering from this too?
Inoue : A bit from time to time.

What kind of damage?
Yokoyama : My throat itches
Inoue : My nose itches
Okamura : I can't stop sneezing
Members saying it's hard to deal with during concerts, if you look closely you'll see them sneezing a lot of times.

・Unit song
"Kare to Issho ni Omise ga Shitai!" (Okamura, Yamazaki)

Nonaka said girls are looking cute during the performance.
Yamazaki remembered the first time Homare and her performed this song on M-Line. She counted the time they performed it together.

・Members' impressions

Yumigeta : Today was a very important day for her: it was the last time she'd perform in a concert as a junior high school student. The next time she would perform, she would be a high school student. Since she will be a high school student, she'd try her best to be mature and sexy, and appealed fans who's also high school students to look out for her as well.

Inoue : It was the first time I participated as a main MC during concert. I enjoy the experience, it made me want to try new things during the tour, like talking more with my senpai!

Sakurai : Today, I had my graduation ceremony from the high school. This year, I became a senpai and I did lots of thing to take care of my kohai. I remember so many happy times I had... Even if I don't have the "high school" title anymore, I now want to do my best as a "Morning Musume。".

Yamazaki : I felt a bit down after the first performance so I ate some ice cream and felt way better. Also, I got excited seeing everyone's faces! Thank you!

Okamura : There's an emotional scene in this tour, about a song that we haven't played yet. But when we were rehearsing it, I thought it was lovely even though there were no fans. I tried to imagine how it would be, I felt like it'd be fully completed with fans' penlight and fanchant during the performance. I can’t wait for it.

Kitagawa : On the previous tour, fanchants were allowed but not fully, and sometimes fans prefered to applause instead of doing fanchants. I feel like this disappeared and I heared a lot of strong fanchants today. Voices were amazing, thank you very much.

Yokoyama announced enthusiastically: I'm reporting sneezing so far... not even once! I had so much fun singing and dancing that I forgot about the pollen!.
Then she appealed to everyone to come to the concert again if they want to stop hay fever.

Haga : This time, I wore some sparkling accessories on my costume, but I tried my best to shine even brighter than that. But... Did I really shine today?" Fans: Yes! "It thanks to you all that I was able to shine.

Makino : Thank you for coming and having fun with us. Let's do the love it pose!

Nonaka was very moved by the performance of "Tokyo to Iu Katasumi", especially by how the fanchants were perfectly done by the audience.

Oda was surprised that some fans noticed she cut her hair. It made her realized that fans noticed everytime members doing something new. So she wants to improve herself even more!

Ishida : During "Romance ni Mezameru Mousou Joshi no Uta, Yokoyama-chan came behind me and did a huge hug. It was something we used to do a few years ago, during this song. But it's Yokoyama-chan who took it back by herself during rehearsals. Each time, she done something different. I hope you enjoyed today's unique performance of this song.

Ikuta asked herself if they were some people in the audience who came to a Morning Musume。concert for the first time. She asked the aduience to raised their hands "Even though some people come here for the first time, there's a sense of togetherness." Erina also spoke about "Tokyo to Iu Katasumi" performance, she felt the "Maa-chan power" in herself during the song.
