Hello! Project's Station '25 ~YT · TV · Radio · Magazines~

[Sohee]

1. Loving Morning Musume more than anyone.
2. Being able to tell the members' opinions/situations to the higher ups. (Apparently Sayu has commented on photos used for various things before, that they were bad/that they could[should] pick better photos etc.)
3. Be cute.

Mezamashi Karubeya corner 5-13-14


Sayumi's conditions to being an ideal Morning Musume. '14 leader

道重さゆみが考える、モーニング娘。リーダーの条件
1.誰よりもモーニング娘。を愛している
2.メンバーの意見をちゃんと大人に言える
3.可愛いこと。

Closet Narcissist Kudo in full bloom. Apparently she loves putting up her own posters in her room and many others anecdotes.
Been hearing about it from other members lately (Maachan mostly lol) but so glad they're bringing it up on tv appearances. Now Ikuta has a rival as well.

I approve.
So much, embrace the cuteness Haru grow out your hair too while you're at it pleaseeee >__<

sidenote: Sayu doesn't put up posters of herself in her room. She only needs a mirror to confirm that she is at her cutest today too, not images from the past. That's kinda amazing, in its own way.

And whoever still thinks "Leader" is just a useless title really should think again. The way Sayu leverages that title is really exemplary, to get even the "person up there" on the company to do things the members asked and basically acting as a very effective intermediary between the members and management.

Annnddd, yep. The MC also brings up the waves of articles saying Sayu is the Ideal Image of a leader and.... acknowledges it, somewhat.
That's just.... frikkin awesome. On national, mainstream tv. There's no emoticons that could properly convey how happy I am for her now ughhh.

Mizuki Mizuki MIZUKI!!

Spoiler: show

But i want Haruna to be leader also

Kudo denied it and said that she's nowhere near as cute as Sayu but then Riho said "But you do think you're #2 (in cuteness) don't you?" and she cracked up. I'm really loving the gap between Kudo's image (tomboy) and personality (actually girly, worried about her deep voice, singing Moshimo... during HinaFes, etc).

Somehow this interview give me a high hope for the upcoming Mecha Ike episode. MM could show out more of their appeal like this if Fuji TV did it right, well, even if a lot of Japanese hates Fuji TV at the moment.

That Karubeya corner really was a great showing for the members.

edit---[proper translations courtesy of sohee]

Kanon was talking about how she, when hearing that Sayumi is graduating, wondered if it's okay to have Sayumi leave but to leave Kanon in the group. Since she, Kanon, "is like this" and it can't even compare to Sayumi [in terms of looks].
She went ahead and said then though, that when Sayumi leaves, that means that there will be even more food.
Then when asked what she thought of this, Sayumi said that, while Kanon is the complete opposite of what an idol "should be" [according to Sayumi's image] she thinks it's good that Kanon is going with the "no NG" thing.

Masaki wanted to play tag, not hide and seek.
And the part where she referred to Kanon - she actually used the wrong word and said she'd "sweat and evaporate calories" - using the wrong word for burning calories.

[here be my own impressions]----/end edit

Other highlights include Zukki's thing about being confident about her own body image and Sayu's endorsement of that even though she's of the opposite mindset (the part where she voluntarily made her looks part of a joke that is, not the confidence part), Maachan's short attention span thinking of playing hide and seek during recording and even recommending it to Zukki as a way to sweat out some grams lol.

And Ikuta. Man, just Ikuta
She's way better than 1 out of 30 though, don't worry, but I just love how she just keeps asking for more teases from Sayu and everyone else

Riho's barbs and timing are getting pretty well-oiled too lol. She definitely owned Kudou there, so much that she's speechless xD

Seriously UF, get these girls a regular show already ;___;
Have Sayu as the host/producer/director/writer or something

i agree with this so much.
its too cute.

[Starra]

Surely you mean... Duu cute .
