Is it just me... or does Kago look old? >.>; And skip that hairdo, please.
Nice to see her do stuff though.

Meanwhile, Morning Danna (Husbands) make their debut…



And yes, the news/rumor about Mari and her husband is mentioned, however briefly.

Before I knew it, I was writing a summary of this... that tells quite a lot about their relationships/meetings/etc. Read if you want.

Spoiler: show

- They got scolded for going to greet Tsunku late. Taiyou was late some 3~6 months, Shouji got really scolded for not going though Miki had told him, when he asked: "Eh, that's okay isn't it?" Masaya, after 2 years of marriage, still hasn't gone to greet Tsunku.
They're poked fun at because their wives get way more work(=money) than they do.

Miki's family has started to live in Tokyo and so they live in the same mansion that she and Shouji lives in. Because they're family they have keys to each others' apartments and sometimes when Shouji comes home, he wonders if Miki is there but then ends up being alone with her grandfather... Horribly awkward.

A random guest suggests that the money that Morning Danna. brings in is what supports the family, while the money that the wives (who also earn more) is the money that they use to spend and buy stuff. To this Morning Danna. all stand up and go "THAT'S HOW IT IS!!!!" lmao.

Apparently Shouji met Miki in Shibuya. He saw her passing by and his friend who was with him was all "lol that's Mikitty, wasn't it? Let's go after her!" and so they did and Shouji pushed himself a lot on her lol. He exchanged their mail/number information and said he'd contact her later on. He kept insisting on meeting her and after 3 months they went on their first date; a drive date. And he let her sit in the back of his car and when she asked why, he told her that if she's in the back, no one will be able to see that they're on a date.

The other day when Miki had her one-day-only solo concert in celebration of her 10th year debut anniversary, she told Shouji to come. He didn't want to though, because of how he's the reason to why she got Friday'd and had to quit showbiz et cetera and so figured the fans hated him, but he went anyway. He stood on the second floor in the back though because he didn't want to get too close to the fans. Though they soon noticed him and went "Shouji! Shouji! Shouji!" giving him a Shouji-call and then, despite her being on stage, he did his famous "Mikittyyyyyyy!!!" call, fans cheered and gave him an applause. They obviously don't hate him at all.
(From a different show, he's talked about how a few days after they got Friday'd he had a signing and handshake event of a book he released. Some of Miki's fans went there and when they got to shake his hand they told him: "Make her happy, okay!" How awesome are they. ;o; )

Taiyou (Tsuji's husband) was invited to his friend's house and "by chance" Tsuji was there. Which surprised him quite a lot. Though it wasn't by chance, 'cause she was a huge fan of him and so asked her friend to setup this whole thing. Three days later she sent him a mail saying: "I like you! Please go out with me!" She asks him to turn down dramas where he has scenes that includes being close (even if just holding hands) with women. A great thing about marrying her though is that she definitely sings all idol-y for him in karaoke.
Tsuji and Taiyou didn't exchange numbers that day when they met, but she asked for his from their mutual friend and then mailed him. Though he chose to ignore her 3 times, because she was still in her teens and an idol and all. But then she invited him to come and watch a concert and when he did, he fell for her. Watching her dance and all, he thought: "Ah... let's... maybe I should go out with her after all..." And after that, on their 2nd date he met her mom and her sister, and then on their 3rd he met her father.

Masaya (Mari's husband) and Mari met at a gathering of friend's too. They both love games and just the next day they went on their first date. And the day after that. And just four days after they'd met she invited him to her family home so she could cook for him. Though, despite being happy to meet him, since he's not that successful of an actor, he didn't really think she'd actually be serious about him. Though on the way home that night, she asked him to say it and so he suggested that they'd start going out. He used to be a fan of Nacchi though.
Mari would keep her sunglasses on for the longest time though when they were out on dates, even if they'd be eating and when going out of a restaurant she'd keep looking around and keep her eyes open for papparazzis.

When Masaya was to act with AKB's Shinoda Mariko in a movie, Mari would keep ask about if they're talking to each other and such. And whenever Momoiro Clover or AKB are on TV at home, they change the channel. Taiyou and Tsuji too, if AKB are on TV they change the channel.

Once, since Mari likes to drink, Masaya gave Mari some at home to get her a bit drunk. And then AKB's documentary was on TV and then when Mari said: "Well, let's see who stays in the group~"

Miki gave Shouji a magazine that held all of AKB's member and asked him: "So, who do you like?!" And when he answered: "Well, Shinoda Mariko... I guess?" Miki replied: "Ah, Shinomari..."

None of them have considered divorce, though they do fight.

Shouji: Seems like she (Miki) wants me to feel sorry for her. When I was in the living room and she was in the kitchen, something made a sound and she went "Ouch!" Then I asked from the living room if she was okay, she asked: "Why won't you come and check?!" [The host and other guests agree that it's asking a bit too much.]
Taiyou: No, I'd go... I make sure to remember how we felt when we were newlyweds. Lately we make sure to give a high-five or hug each other when we pass by each other. So if it was me, I'd go and ask how she is and if everything is alright.

Masaya says that Mari is very conscious about circumstances. She says that if she were to get pregnant now and/or put out a cookbook (she doesn't cook at all, apparently) she would just be like everyone else and it would just be one out of many. That now isn't the right time for it.

Once a H!P girl, always H!P huh.
Really though Tsuji... get over that, please. Let your husband work!

Yeah she's looking like someone who had a hard life. Which we can surmise she had. Stress really ages people.

[Starra]

Also, having a kid can age you.

Watched that Morning Danna special, made my decision. I reaaaaallly want to strangle those guys now, in a "totally harmless, hazing a frat bro for getting married to a great gal" kinda way ofc

From Tsuji's sickly sweet perpetual honeymoon phase to Mikitty's ridiculous paired outfit collection and her cloying spoiled voice when she's showing it off gahhhhhhhh
Not to mention those re-enactment scenes are frikkin priceless

Btw I just have to add that those reactions from Mikitty fans(chanting her husband's name, shaking his hand and telling her to make her happy) in my personal experience ARE the majority among wotas and fans. The photo-cutting, goods-burning maniacs are by far the loud minority even among the japanese fandom so I'm really glad the more reasonable reactions from fans are highlighted for once.

The way some people are talking you'd have thought every single japanese fan would drop their idols like a hot potato once they got older or "defiled" by having a perfectly natural relationship

[AyuHikaru]

The vocal minority is a thing even in Japan. The loudest are often the meanest/grossest/awful-ist and that's all you hear so the Wota tend to have a bad rep because of them.

The vocal minority in any fandom ruins things for a lot of people.

Miki's family has started to live in Tokyo and so they live in the same mansion that she and Shouji lives in. Because they're family they have keys to each others' apartments and sometimes when Shouji comes home, he wonders if Miki is there but then ends up being alone with her grandfather... Horribly awkward.

I love how he called her grandfather "Jijitty".
