Member's comments about the audition from Haro sute (26:30~)
Sayu : 『Okay Ikuta you've been edging forward for a while, what is it?』
Ikuta : 『Well since it's a "golden" audition maybe some kouhai who'd be in the center would join and as you can see when we're lined up like this I'm always standing at the very edge w. I don't want to lose to my kouhais either so I'll always work hard to get closer to the center position and as Morning Musume '14 I'll do my best to get on more golden (timeslot) shows as well!』
[audience cheers]
Iikubo : 『Oh that's good!』
Ikuta : 『Yay!』
Sayu : 『That was well put. You were relieved (by the fans' reaction), right?』
Ikuta : 『Yes, somehow!』
Sayu : 『Then, how about you Kudo?』
Kudo : 『This audition was for girls from 14-17 years old, is it?』
Iikubo : 『From age 10 actually.』
Kudo : 『 』
Sayu : 『How old are you again now Kudo?』
Kudo : 『I'm 14 years old right now. I was born in 1999 so anyone younger than me would have to be born after 2000』
Sayu : 『Oh that's right!』
Kudo : 『I wonder if I'll lose opportunities to talk as the youngest... I was asked about a lot of things in (interviews/shows) as the youngest so I can't help but wonder.
But putting that aside I'm still looking forward to have girls younger than me to join.』
Sayu : 『That's good, be positive. Now what about you Maachan? You've been yelling "No! No!" from the start, how do you feel about this?』
Maa : 『You see, I've been telling myself "I'll pass Sayashi-san!" for a while but even now I still haven't reached that point yet. So if this "golden" girl joins now...uhm... maybe she'll take the center position just as Ikuta-san said. That'll be bothersome for me (lol).』
Ikuta : 『What are you talking about? You're already standing near the center!』
Maa : 『It's not really about that (the literal center)』
[audience cheers lol]
Maa : 『But it'll be nice if I can be friends with hew, even closer than I am now with Sakura-chan』
Sayu : 『Eehh why?』
Sakura : 『What, exactly, do you mean?』
Maa : 『I mean, but I'm already friends with Sakura-chan!』
Sayu : 『Ah yeah..recently you two have always been together like a set.』
Maa : 『Yep. Duu~ bye bye!』
[loooool]
Kudo : 『You know, I've been staying quiet over here and playing along. ("Why do you have to drag me into this?" implied)』
Sayu : 『So Satou is the type to go over to the newer girls quickly huh.. well do please get along with them. As rivals and as friends, we will be waiting for girls aged 10-17 to join us. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu』
Poor Duu but aww Maachan don't leave Sayu's side ...
Fortunately she's as close to the image of a pure kid who simply loves everything and everyone as I've ever seen lol... and it's really amazing how sociable Maachan is in her own bizarre ways
