Hello! Pro Great Assembly
Special Mook 'Idol JUNON 2014' will go on sale on the 10th of July!
A line-up of self-styled number ones(!?)
Pretty!? Cute!? Showdown at the Summit ♥
We are getting closer and closer to the release of Junon's first idol mook, 'Idol Junon 2014'. And so, in commemoration (?) of the release of 'Idol Junon 2014', we have a pressing discussion with 3 people who will appear in it. They'll be having a de~ep discussion on the topic of idols!
Momochi is in a different genre than that of an 'idol'?
Tsugunaga: There are a lot of idols appearing in 'Idol Junon 2014', but everyone's goal is myself, Momochi, right!?
Michishige: Eh, seriously, is that what you're saying?
Tsugunaga: It's an appropriate standpoint to take for this time and place, I'm doing my best with it.
Michishige: I got to appear in this book, and drew some criticism once again as an idol.
Wada: I still can't talk about things like '
What is an idol?', so I'd like to learn a lot more about those sort of things from Michishige-san.
Tsugunaga: Hold on-, you're forgetting about me!!

| Being an idol is a wonderful occupation |
Michishige: Momochi isn't an idol, it's like you're in a different 'Momochi-class' genre. Although it's a class that no one wants to be part of (
laughs). Talking about it, one of the questions that was asked in the book is '
What is an idol?' My answer was '
Has to be cute'.
Tsugunaga: Ayacho answered '
The arts'.
Michishige: Isn't that too much of a given? I think of our existence as an art.
Wada: That isn't the case---
A heated outburst of discussion on their own 'Idol theories'
Tsugunaga: I support Michishige-san's opinion. There are cute-type idols and beauty-type idols, but in the end you need to combine both with cuteness. Putting aside whether or not Michishige-san is cute (
laughs).
Michishige: What do you mean 'putting it aside'!! But definitely, for idols, whether they should aim for being the cute-type of the beauty-type, that's an important question. Since age becomes an issue in particular for girls. I've slowly come to think that merely cuteness isn't good.

| Momochi is unanimously the number one ♥ |
Wada: I think that the two of you haven't changed in cuteness ever since you made your début, keeping youthful.
Michishige: Really-? But recently, when I'm complimented on something besides my cuteness, I'm happy wondering if I'm '
appearing my age'.
Tsugunaga: But, it depends on whether the person is suited for it. You can figure which type you're suited to by examining how you look without make-up.
Michishige: But if you're in middle school or high school, you really want cuteness. Since the time will someday come when you'll be called a beauty, but besides those times, I think that it would be better to focus deeply on cuteness!
Wada: That's what I've been worrying about recently, so I'll use the opinions from both of you as a reference.

| I love Hello! Pro since everyone's so cute ♥ |
Michishige: By the way, what was Momochi's theory? Was it '
Idol is life'?
Wada: That's nice, life.
Tsugunaga: Just a '
That's nice'?
Wada: Recently I've been told that I sparkle more when talking about the arts rather than as an idol, so I can't take it as an example.
Michishige: I don't really get Momochi's theory (
laughs). But for the time being, there are things about Momochi that I think are cute. Number one would be her name (
laughs).
Tsugunaga: Just the name?
Michishige: As a child ('Ko') of the peaches ('Momo'), 'Momoko' is super cute. I give it full marks ♥
