MC REPORT

・First concert

・Motto Corner (Ikuta, Haga, Sakurai)

Haga's motto : "I would like to know more about the Hakata dialect!"

Haga : Ikuta-san's Hakata dialect is too cute, such as Tanaka Reina-san's! When I was still a wota, I used Hakata dialect even though I was from Nagano, what's funny about it is that, today, everyone around me is partial to Nagano dialect.

Ikuta : (Stuttering) What are you trying to do? (Stuttering once again) I don't think I'll be able to finish this MC. Anyway. Is there any expressions you like? Like when we say "taberii" or "dokochuu"?

Haga : In Nagano we say "How much mountain did you climb when you were in junior high school?", like mounting it at a height for our level.

Ikuta : That's not about your dialect lol

Sakurai : I'm from Tokyo but I lived in Hyogo for 5 years.

Ikuta : So! You got the Kansai dialect!

Sakurai : (Using it) I'm going to have a lot of fun today~!

・Unit song
"Love Innovation" (Ikuta, Oda, Haga, Yokoyama, Inoue)

Haga : I had to practice a lot for the interpretation of the lyrics and the choreography. Ikuta-san, who's an original member in that song, helped me a lot.

Ishida : Hey! I'm not part of that unit but I'm also one of the original singer!

Ikuta : After all, the two elderly members.

・Members' impressions

Yumigeta : Last night, I brought ham omelet at home and ate five or six of them, I'm really happy to have had the ham omelet I've always wanted. Yesterday was JAPAN JAM and today is Fukuoka, a lot of you must be tired, but I'm really happy that you're cheering for me as usual!

Inoue : When I left home this morning to come to the concert, there was no one there because of the Golden Week holiday. Nobody outside, nobody going to work... I thought I was the only one in the world, but it was such a relief to see so many of your faces.

Sakurai : Yesterday was JAPAN JAM, today there's concerts in Fukuoka. I'm happy to have those fulfilling days. On today's last rehearsals, we wore JAPAN JAM goods tshirt. We will do our best to shine more brightly both outdoors and indoors.

Yamazaki : I'm sad that Kitagawa Rio is absent today. But I'm happy because lots of good things happened. First, usually when I do my hair, I fail and have to do it like three times before succeding. Today, I was able to do it in one shot! And, there were many happy things about Ikuta-san too! First of all, I keep pulling next to Ikuta-san in the dressing room these days. (Ikuta : That's not a lottery!!) And when I said "Welcome back~" to Ikuta-san on the stage earlier, she gave me a pat on the head. And and and and, there are many other things, like the fact that I keep winning in rock-paper-scissors against her. I'll talk more about all of this in my blog.

Okamura : Today, there were about six kinds of cod roe, including greenish ones like kelp (*marine algae). Everyone's penlights looked like cod roe!

Yokoyama : I missed many concerts last week because I was ill. It had been a while since I had been to a concert, but everyone's warm support and encouragement made me realise how much I really love concerts.

Haga : Since Kitagawa Rio was absent today, Ikuta-san and I had to sing "Jounetsu no Kisu wo Hitotsu" as a duo, we had some rehearsals very early. We supported each other and managed to get through it.

Makino : I want to see a perfect series of LOVErin. Today we will all do a Rio-chan LOVErin~!

Nonaka : Ikuta-san's hometown, Fukuoka! (Audience: Yes!) Are you enjoying Golden Week!? (Audience: Yes!) Let’s all say together "Rio-chan"~! Se-no! (Audience: Rio-chan!!!!!) I think Kitagawa Rio will see it too.

Oda : I found out this morning, like everyone else, that Kitagawa Rio-chan couldn't be there today. When I saw the paper with the pattern B that we did, I felt sad. I didn't realise how much I was relying on Rio-chan. I felt frustrated so much, but I managed to get through this far by looking at you all.

Ishida : We explored the stage and the audience composition before starting the concert. It's all high up, right? Yesterday, we performed in front of a big audience at JAPAN JAM. That was so different. I thought we could make everyone happy with ease.

Ikuta : I broke my knee-high boots on the Sendai concert, but the staff bought me another pair of shoes of them! I'm so happy! I was happy to show you all the sexy Eripon! Fukuoka is my hometown, I'm happy to go back here and meet people who are waiting for me everytime. I'm happy to see many people came to see us and to visit the prefecture. I also heard that many people from the world come to our concerts, even people from Taiwan! It's amazing...


・Second concert

・Motto Corner (Ishida, Makino, Yokoyama) 

Yokoyama's motto : "I want people to look at the details!"

Yokoyama : During choreographies, we all move around quite a lot! And strangely, my place changes in the choreographies are very similar to those of Ishida-san. Such as "Password is 0". Ishida-san and I are moving and jumping around a lot, aren't we? That's not all the members. It's just the two of us.
Ishida : No way! Is it?

The members ask to play the song in the background and each sing and dance their part. Ishida and Yokoyama was busy jumping and squatting, while Makino continued to move easily. 

Yokoyama : Ishida-san! See! Do you see her!? That person on the far right?"

Ishida and Yokoyama are starting to catch their breath after repeated demonstrations of singing and dancing. 

Yokoyama : Was MCing this hard?...

・Unit song
"Iroppoi Jirettai" (Ishida, Nonaka, Makino, Okamura, Yamazaki, Sakurai, Yumigeta)

Nonaka : It's been a long time since this song have been on a setlist, right?
Okamura : I get nervous every time I sing, but I try my best to be as sexy as possible.

・Members' impressions

Yumigeta : Just before the medley, I've got this duo with my generation mate Inoue on "Watashi no Miryoku ni Kizukanai Donkan na Hito". On the previous tour, during the autumn tour, I had the chance to perfom "Suki na Senpai" alongside her. It's almost one year since I joined the group. I feel how fast time flies, but I want to do my best so that I can grow even more.

Inoue : Today was my last concert as a 17-year-old, so I went to the concert thinking about my whole 17th year. Please keep taking care of my for my 18 years old.

Sakurai : Today, my beloved Kitagawa Rio-san was absent and it remind me how many parts I sing with her. I can't wait to sing with Rio again!

Yamazaki : Today is Midori no Hi (*Green's day), so it's kind of Mei's day! I'm so happy to have more days to cherish since I became an idol and received that member color. Tomorrow, it will be Kodomo no Hi (*Children's day) and since I'm still a child, tomorrow will also be Mei's day. There isn't concert tomorrow, but please, do think of me.

Okamura : Yesterday we performed at JAPAN JAM, and, today, I see a few faces I had seen on the yesterday’s audience. You all are really amazing!

Yokoyama : Today was amazing as usual ; we laughed so much and got so excited during the MC. I really thought that concerts are the best. My beloved Kitagawa Rio-chan was absent today, so next time I want to come to Fukuoka with Kitagawa.

Haga : Do you all enjoying the last two days of Golden Week?" The members run around the stage, and after running for a while, they all return to the centre and say “Ta-da!” with a heart similar to What is LOVE? "I was so happy to be able to perform in Fukuoka today, Ikuta-san's hometown!

Makino : ♪Everyone, saying in rhythm with Maria~ E~ri~san~

Nonaka : Every members are saying it's hot hot hot, so I, as the person in charge of room temperature control, told the stage manager to lower the temperature, which is actually worst. But it's still hot. You guys are amazing.

Oda : When I watched from backstages those three members singing and dancing "Password is 0" in a silly way in the MC earlier... I thought "What three silly people. What are they even doing." But I also thought "That kind of MC are the charm of Morning Musume。".

Ishida : Today was a great day ; we talked about what's funny in "Passeword is 0", but we  didn't have Kita-chan. The thirtheen of us have different roles to play, but we also need all of you. Because without your cheering, the concert wouldn't be possible. You are all necessary to Morning Musume。!

Ikuta : I'm happy to have a concert in my hometown Fukuoka. Everyone has come here with the money they work for, so I hope the concert will be something that Morning Musume。can give something back to everyone so that they don't feel like they've lost out by coming.
