MC REPORT

・First concert

・Motto Corner (Kitagawa, Okamura, Yamazaki)

Kitagawa said it was the very first time she was the main MC (excluding "Three Station" 15ki FC radio). The last week, she said during one of the concert she wanted to be better at speaking so this is a great opportunity for her.
Okamura said 15ki went together to Disneyland in January but realized that they haven't shared this with fans. They will post pictures of three of them very soon on their blog and instagram.
About their upcoming bus tour announced just yesterday, members themselves don't have many details about it yet. Okamura thinks it would include handshake and a live corner, but insisted she knew nothing yet.


・Unit song
"Kono Ai wo Kasanete" (Oda, Nonaka)

Their unit duo song should have been performed in MOMM 2020 Haru Tour. They're so happy to be able to still perform it 4 years after the initial tour.

・Members' impressions

Yumigeta doesn't have many free time to sightseeing rural areas but today, she was able. Inoue and her wandered together and ate some local specialties.

Inoue wanted to go to Hokkaido for a while (even before joining Morning Musume。), she was happy to be able to do a concert here. The next time she goes to Hokkaido, she would like to do it for visiting.

Sakurai : As Yumigeta said, there so many delicious food here! That's why I'm so excited to be in Hokkaido today! I hope to return home with lots of delicious food!

Yamazaki was very happy to came back in her home prefecture and did some previews of her tv & radio appearances. She said she will do her best to keep going concerts in Hokkaido.

Okamura : Hokkaido is Mei's hometown, and during many songs I've got some duo parts with her, so I got to meet her eyes many often. She was always smiling this time. A cute panda-san who was always smiling!

Kitagawa : We did an exclusive 15ki MC earlier and I saw that all of you were so excited about it... I realized it's thanks to everyone if 15ki were able to do it. Thank you!

Yokoyama : Something happened to me today... I was able to do the most beautiful makeup ever since a while. But with the heat during today's concert, it fell off, and I'm sorry for that.

Haga : I went to visit Otaru in February, and experience winter and snow at Hokkaido. I thought Hokkaido was such a nice place. I'm very happy to be able to hold a concert in such a nice place as Hokkaido...

Makino did an imitation of Kitayama Koki (a japanese baseball player).

Nonaka : It was cold in Tokyo recently, so I came with only winter clothes, thinking it would be colder in Hokkaido, but it was hot today, and the venue was even hotter... My arm warmers turned up funny!

Oda : I've got U-NEXT on my computer, there's a lot of videos of Hello Project there. As I watched it, I thought about the different attitude that the seniors put into a two hours concert. With this in mind, I treasured today's concert.

Ishida : The movie Detective Conan was released yesterday, and the release party starting in Hokkaido, so congratulations to all of you! Even if Hakodate is a bit far from here... I spent the morning immersed in the world of Conan, but after coming to the concert and enjoyed it as I did, I realized that I am Morning Musume。after all!

Ikuta : Today, I sand with my wisdom teeth throbbing, but I hope I still did great. Also, it seems that the limited-edition goods at the venue were sold out immediately, and the photos were sold out before members arrived to the venue! We will be standing at Escondido Field on June 2, and Makino will be making the first pitch! Makino, what's the motto once again? (Makino : "Enjoy yourself!") Enjoy yourself! Please cheer us on! Today, I was able to see the coordination of everyone in the first row. I realized how people are enjoying our concerts, and how different people are. Thank you.

・Second concert

・Motto Corner (Ishida, Makino, Haga)

Ishida's motto: "I want be more noticed during my performances!"

Makino and Haga asked her to do a proof of why she should be more noticed and Ishida do a super cool face on "Seishun Kozou ga Naiteru". 

・Unit song
"Watashi no Dekkai Hana" (Ishida, Makino, Yokoyama)

Yokoyama : To be honest, I'm nervous for each performance of this song, but Ishida-san and Makino-san make it sound like "we're friends" from rehearsal, and I enjoy singing every time!

・Members' impressions

Yumigeta said that "Teenage Solution" was part of the song they had to perform during their audition alongside Inoue. She keeps great memory from that song and she's happy to now perform it as a member. 

Inoue had a tough time to do her hair for the night concert so she asked Oda for advices.

Sakurai realized she never did the famous "Panda-san power" with Mei, she then turned around her and asked her to do it now since Hokkaid is Mei's hometown. The whole audience applauded them.

Yamazaki was very nervous for Hokkaido's concert since the last week. She said that both of her grand-parents are born on the same day (tomorrow) and both of them are huge fans of Erina. Mei then asked to Erina to wish them a happy birthday. Erina looked straight at the camera and said "Happy birthday to the amazing both of Mei-chan's grand parents! Are you part of the fanclub!?".

Okamura : It was cold in Tokyo recently, so I came with only winter clothes, thinking it would be colder in Hokkaido, but it was hot today, and the venue was even hotter... So hot that I could see sweat water in my eyes!

During the break of the two concerts, Kitagawa made her miso soup in the dressing room and put it somewhere before going to practice for the evening concert. She worked such a long time that when she came back the miso soup wasn't there anymore.

Yokoyama : For today's concerts to Hokkaido, I tried to be as close to Mei as possible! During today's final rehearsals I wore clothes that Mei gave me for my birthday! (Yamazaki did her a heart with both hands.)

Haga : The landing of the plane when we came was really smooth, it was like a swoop. I thought I should also thank the pilots and drivers who bring us and everyone else here!

Makino : ♪If you want to listen to the Fighters, HBC~. We'll be waiting for you at Escondido Field on 2 June! Please join us, everyone!

Nonaka : I want to do the famous Panda-san power with Mei but in English this time." Both of them: "Miss~ Panda~ Power~!

Oda : This week, I did my birthday event. I was singing alone, it was really amazing to perform by msyelf. I want to go from being alone back to being in a group. I want to be cool, I want to keep working hard to be cool.

Ishida : Having something to support is amazing, isn't it? Detective Conan movie released yesterday and I did so many promotion about it. And yet today, I'm standing here to promote Morning Musume。to many fans. It feels really good to be pushed.

Ikuta : I wonder how Mei's grandparents would react if they meet met. I'd probably cry. Because I'd be like their granddaughter.
