Morning Musume. '24 Kitagawa Rio's 20th Birthday (3/16) event at Yamano Hall Tokyo 3.19.24
MC Sawayaka Goro
1st event
1. Momoiro Sparkling (C-ute)
- Opening Talk :
~ "I'm Kitagawa Rio and I turned 20 years old on March 16th!"
~ Kitagawa said this was her first birthday event ever since cheering returned, so she was happy.
The first song "Momoiro Sparkling" had an air of "Can I stand up or say 'yay'?" But when she sang it now, everyone said "yay" with a smile on their faces.
~ Kitagawa said that the Spring Tour started on her birthday. She explained that the concert was a lot of fun, and that there were songs that even recent fans could understand, some that had been a long time since they had heard, and some that she had to memorize, so there was a lot of content.
- "Let's play with Kitagawa!" Guess the person who fits the theme in the audience : A theme is given, and each time you are able to guess a person who you think corresponds to the theme, you win a prize. And if you pick the wrong person, you forfeit all the prizes up to that point.
~ The first theme was "People who share the same zodiac sign (the year of the monkey)".
Kitagawa went down to the audience and started looking for people who were 32, 44, and 56 years old, and asked them what games were popular in their childhood.
~ The next theme was "Who has Hello member goods other than Kitagawa?
Sawagoro said "I know you don't want to answer the question, but I'm going to put chocolates in Kitagawa-san's hand". Kitagawa looked for someone in the audience. Sawagoro found a panda's hat and nominated the person who had the early FSK and got the chocolate! Finally, they found a person who was a Kitagawa supporter but had goods of Sato, and that was the end.
Kitagawa : "Honestly, is there anyone who has a favorite other than me?"
Goro: "Let's not do that."
(People raise their hands)
Kitagawa: "There are many! So many!"
- VTR Birthday message from Tsubaki Factory Kasai Yuumi.
- "Let's play with Kitagawa! 20 countdown" (ask questions and aim for a total of 20 applicable customers) : Kitagawa asks questions to the audience and those who correspond to the questions are asked to stand up.
The plan was to ask three questions, and if the number of participants reached exactly 20, it would be a success.
~ The first question was, "Who has the same name "Kitagawa" or "Rio"?
~ Next, when asked "who had been playing "StreetPass" on the DS?", they stood up in large numbers.
~ When asked who had the same birthday as Kitagawa's, 3 people were selected.
~ "People whose last two digits of their phone number are 89," adding six more people.
~ Finally, she asked for "people who are 54 years old," and she succeeded in getting exactly 20 people!
- Kitagawa Question Corner : Questions asked in advance and are pulled from a box and answered.
Q. "Anything different between when you were 19 and when you turned 20?"
Kitagawa said she doesn't feel much different yet. From our generation, 18-year-olds are now adults, and it's the halfway point in many things that may never change. In terms of food, Kitagawa said that she has become gradually tired of fatty meats, and that she likes spicy food and is addicted to burritos, but that she got a stomach ache the other day after eating a burrito with spicy sauce, and that she may not be able to eat spicy food any more.
Q. Question, "What do you keep in mind even when people aren't looking?"
Kitagawa said "I'm just trying to make sure I have a nice sleeping position. I heard it's good for people to sleep facing straight up, so I'm not watching myself, but I'm trying to keep that in mind."
Q. "I'm trying to figure out what to write on my Hello Shop message card, but what's the happiest thing you've ever written?"
Kitagawa says she's happy with anything.
People often ask me, "Aren't fan letters troublesome? or "I don't know what to write in a message," but she explained that even a single letter, even just an "Ah ; あ" would make her happy. "I read all the letters I receive and have them displayed in my room, so please write to me again and again," Kitagawa said.
Q. Question, "What do you do when you feel down to rock bottom level?"
Kitagawa said "I let Goto Hana reside in my heart." She passionately said that Goto Hana is the strongest because she is not shy and cheers up even when she is depressed. Kitagawa also said the new members are very strong mentally. "When I asked Harushan the other day if it wasn't hard for her to learn the choreography, she said that crying was pointless and a waste of time, and that she had to practice even when she was crying, which made me think she was a monster. Kitagawa says that Raiiri is also a super positive person.

Ending MC :
~ Kitagawa says that she really can't do this job without her fans.
"I'm standing on stage wearing a cute costume and holding a microphone, but these sets are made because of the staff, and they are prepared because of the fans who come, so thank you so much for everything."
~ "I was looking forward to this event because it was the first time for us to cheer out loud to each other and stand up, and when I realized it, rehearsals were over, the performance was over."
~ I know it's sad that it's only once a year, but that's why I think it's so valuable and fun "so will you come again next year?" The audience cheered when she asked if they would come again next year.
she then waved to the audience and closed the event with a final farewell speech, saying, "I'm going on a tour, and performing at JAPAM JAM, so please come and visit me at various places."
