[Yattaruchan]

I can make out all the animals excpet one. What was Riho suppose to be?

Either a chick, or the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man?

They should get Sakura's sister to design a LE jacket cover.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I can make out all the animals excpet one. What was Riho suppose to be?

Either a chick,

I assumed this or a penguin.

[zam_ho]

I was thinking Riho might be a seal, but it has hair So that couldn't be right
A chick could be it.

I love Ayumi so much and that is all.

Hello new MM oishi.

I think 10th gen is definitely my favourite.

[Yattaruchan]

I think 10th gen is definitely my favourite.

You know, by saying "I think", it doesn't really make it sound like they are your "definite" favourite gen.

[otaku_blue]

^

thats my point exactly, other gens are so close ;_; like 9th and 6th are next up and its so hard to have a definite

[Yattaruchan]

For me, it's 6th, 9th & 10th, and like you, VERY close.

I'm at a point I've essentially given up on a favorite member order (below Kamei, Reina & Ai-chan), and have to group them in tiers, and ever shrinking gaps between tiers, if that makes sense.

[Jessi]

My favorites are 9,10 and 11. Something about being through their auditions and watching them grow since entering the group has made me feel attached to them. I love the current Musume.

I mean I love all the gens, but each one has a member or two that I don't love as much as the others.

The 9th 10th and 11th gen are like my babies, I'm fiercely protective of them.

[Starra]

5th gen will always have a special place in my heart, but yeah I think 10th are my favourite.

I also love 1st gen even though nobody else does.

A bit late but I always find the little things in MM's concert mc to be interesting so I tried translating a few from 2ch reports...

■Michishige solo MC

I looked around the net for the proper way to send mails to the senpais about important things like the weekly oricon #1st ranking of our three latest singles.
But to one person I skipped the formalities and that Fujimoto-san. Well, just as she looked she was never a really serious person in the first place.. and she quits Morning Musume pretty much the same way (giggles).
So I put peace signs and the like in my mails to her and she replied 「You're not serious at all！but I like that Shige-san's playful side too」
In the past Fujimoto-san has always pointed out my mistakes and noticed things about me that others missed, so I want to follow her example in that respect.
Ah but don't worry! Sayumi will properly graduate one day but for now please let me stay in Morning Mosume a little while longer!
<wota> 「great cheers」

Sayu's solo MC 「Places that soothes and relaxes you」

・Recently the kids square in department stores is my healing spot
・Didn't exactly play with the kids or with the attraction myself, I just like watching small children play
・A while ago when I was shopping in a mall I saw a young mother and her one year old baby boy. She let me play with him but all he can say is a single word "ha~ppa", no matter what I asked him ("hello" "ha~ppa" "Does onee-chan look cute?" "ha~ppa.") until the very end when I waved him bye bye he only answered "ha~ppa". That was unbelievably cute.
・Sayumi always liked looking at mama-talents blog when they put up pictures of their baby, so how do you say this..? The kind of feeling when you almost cried from happiness when watching your baby stand for the first time, I can sort of understand that kind of parental affection now.
・Speaking of children, Sayashi when she first joined was also so small and child-like she looks like she can only say "ha~ppa" too but all of a sudden now she already start maturing into an adult. She missed that Sayashi a little...
・Sayumi liked how the mature Sayashi turned out too but just once more she'd like to hear Sayashi say "ha~ppa" again.

Mc before the encore
ﾉﾘ*´ｰ´ﾘ ＜ Ha~ppa!
从*･ ｡.･)＜ *stumbling around from giddiness* So cute!!


■Sayu solo MC
「Tell us your impression of the concert tour at this time or some episodes from rehearsals」

To put it in a single word... it's painful.
It's painful, hard, intense and very tiring. So much so can still feel it the next day.
In 2008 during the Single Daizenshuu tour we performed all of our previous singles in the setlist, that was hard too. This time around the intensity and the pain is almost comparable to back then.

Another thing is there's a lot of new choreography in this tour and since I'm a bit on the slow side remembering those kind of things...
Not to mention there aren't any senpai or even same generation member for me, I noticed that I was pretty spoiled back then.
When the senpais and my same-gen mates were around we can somewhat take it easy by relying on them and discussed it leisurely afterwards like 「this part here... you don't get it either right?」 but you can really do that with only kouhais around me right now.
Although there are two kouhais I can comfortably ask for help with the choreography.

(　wota)＜ooohh?

First is Sayashi Riho.
Riho-chan is very good at dancing and she always pays attention to the minute details about the choreography.
The other one is Sato Masaki-chan

(　Wota)＜Eeehhhー

Usually when I asked Sato Masaki-chan about the choreography it turns out we basically made the same mistakes.
So it's easy to see where we made the mistakes when we discuss it together.
And then I can put on a pretext more easily saying 「Let's go ask Sayashi-sensei to teach us」 and drag her along (lol)

In this way I can still support Morning Musume too, this is fine right?
Not having any senpais and my same generation mates around right now makes me a little uneasy/worried but thinking how the current Morning Musume is nice too I'm still resolved to do my best in this group.

Sayu
...and get it right guys. It's not anything weird, it's parental affection
