MC REPORT

・Motto Corner (Ishida, Haga, Yokoyama)

Yokoyama's motto : "I want to talk more about our oshi!"

Yokoyama : Today, I'm a Morning Musume。member, but before I joined, I was a fan of the group. When I talked about that with the members, I learned that Kitagawa was actually a Yokoyama oshi before she herself joined.

Haga : I grew up with Morning Musume。because my aunt was herself a fan, so I know a lot of the group's era, but my favorite is the Colorful Era. When I was in primary school, I made my own fan cards which summarize the profiles of the members with their official color and their birthday, to give them to my friends in the playground.

Ishida : Who was your oshi then, Yokoyama?
Yokoyama : It was Oda-chan. Well, she's now my senpai, but before that, I called her "Oda-chan".
Haga : I was a Reina and Kuduu oshi.

When Ishida saw Haga and Yokoyama getting both excited talking about their oshi, she juste said "Well, you're working great right now, so I'm just getting sit right here and watching you" and sat down on the stage in a position to watch the two of them.

Yokoyama : I became a Radio Committee member in my school in order to play Morning Musume。songs. I could play some of them everytime I wanted too!
Ishida : Which song do you liked to play?
Yokoyama : "Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa"!
Haga : I used to do a lot of exchange diary (*a notebook shared between friends, who take it in turns to write in their thoughts or other comments) with my friends when I was younger, and everytime I finished, I suddenly wrote "I'll meet Reina this year as well".
Yokoyama : I have my own member color now, but when I was a fan, I was always in lavender.
Haga : I imagined myself having my own distributions and I practiced at home...
The two of them get embarrassed, hug each other and fainting in agony.

Yokoyama : I have also something to say to Ishida-san. When I was a fan, I was always praising Ayumi's dance. I was that fan who always said "After all, Ayumi is such a great dancer!".
Haga : I could talk about this story for hours. I want to make a special programme.
Ishida : Well then, I would like to summon Niinuma Kisora then.

Haga : I like Ishida-san's tongue when she's singing.
Ishida : Eh... I'm scared now.

・Members' impressions

Yumigeta : Today, I want to dedicate this MC to Inoue. Inoue loves Chiikawa and chocolate mint. I dond't know much about either of these two ingredients until I joined. (Ikuta: Chiikawa isn't an ingredient...) Now I know more about the two of things thanks to of Inoue. We both have different interests, I thought it was a good thing. I want to learn many things from Inoue in the future.

Inoue : My birthday is on Golden Week, which is school holidays, so until now only my family have celebrated my birthday alongside me. It's nice to have so many people celebrate my birthday with me. And it's nice to hear the loud birthday song too!

Sakurai : Harusan is the member I have the most chances to talk to because we're close in age. Right? I rely on her the most and I hope we can talk a lot more. Next time, we'll go shopping together for clothes for my birthday present.

Yamazaki : Today, Homare-chan was laughing all the time because she had a good time, and Harusan was smiling when everyone whished her a happy birthday. Seeing that made me smile too, so today was a day of smiles. Were you all smiling, too? (Audience: Yes!) That's a nice smile.

Okamura : Once again, happy birthday to Harusan! I'm so happy to be able to share such a happy space with you all. Personally, this is my last concert as an 18-year-old, and the next time I see you all, I'll be 19. I hope I can show to you all a more mature me. 

Kitagawa : I'm really sorry for worrying you all. Except for my throat, I'm really fine. I missed the concert in Fukuoka, but I'm really glad to be back in Ehime. And Harusan, happy birthday to you! (She moved to Harusan's side who tsunted her cheek) Last year, when she joined, I went to ask her "Are your nervous?", and now she's... (Ikuta said "It's time to stop!" but Kitagawa was still trying to talk, and Ikuta just said to her "Well, how many handshake tickets have you bought now?") Harusan, I wish you a wonderful year... It was Kitagawa Rio.

Yokoyama : Kitagawa finally came back, we were able to celebrate Harusan's birthday loudly, and to be honest, I'm really happy to had that "wota talk" with so many Morning Musume。fans during the MC. We didn't have enough time, so I'd like to continue this when I come to Ehime again!

Haga : Everyone, did you enjoyed Golden Week and Harusan’s birthday? (The members run around the stage, and after running for a while, they all return to the centre and say "Ta-da!" with an orange similar to Mikan dance) My member color looks like mandarin oranges, so I like this shape. This year's Golden Week was a lot of fun too. And I was so happy to sing with Reina of Kaiketsu no Positive A, since she came back recently.

Makino : We were able to have fun time and an amazing concert thanks to you all. Today, I want to do a strike one for Harusan. Haruuuuuuuuusan~!

Nonaka : Today is Harusan's birthday, and we have another anniversary to celebrate! Today is Aoyama Clothes's 60th anniversary! All of us are also working with them for AoyamaMusume。60 and I'm very happy to be able to spend this important anniversary with you all.

Oda : In HEAVY GATE, there's that part "Youyaku iku watashi iku" that I really love. It's actually a two-part hum in the upper and lower parts. I think that Morning Musume。's wide range is so interesting. There are so many other parts like that one that can only be understood through the concert acoustics. I hope I can come back soon again.

Ishida : During the MC, we talked about our early life before joining Morning Musume。. Then I have that unit song "Watashi no Dekkai Hana" with Makino and Yokoyama. I felt so happy to be singing this song now with the members who joined because they liked Morning Musume。. The group has many songs and many eras, but I love the present time the most. 

Ikuta : Thanks to all of you, I was able to inherate Niigaki-san's parts in "Jounetsu no Kisu wo Hitotsu". I’m always thinking about her when I'm performing that song. I’m sure the members also performing with that love for their senpai, which makes Morning Musume。always stronger. We will continue to work hard to become a group that is loved by everyone.


・ENCORE

Ikuta : For today's ENCORE MC, I'm going to talk about Harusan. Harusan works really hard on her singing and dancing, and when her house is too small and she can't spread her hands or her legs, she asks the manager if she can reserve a studio to do some trainings. When members seeing Haru-san getting better at those parts, it makes all want to work harder too. 

Seeing the two members of the 17th generation have grown so much since the last autumn tour makes me want to support them both from a parent's point that as a fan. I want everyone to continue to watch Morning Musume。evolve more and more.
