3 big incidents (TopYell+ 2014 H!P Great Dictionary)

In TopYell+ H!P edition (March 2014), there's a segment that's referred to as the Hello! Pro great dictionary - basically your run of the mill questionnaire.
Although it's set out by person, I'm arranging it by question instead. Links to the other questions I've translated in this series are at the end.

Fukumura Mizuki
1. Surprise entry
On the day of the announcement of the 9th gen members, I was nervous and excited, wondering who'd get in. But never in my wildest dreams did I think my name would get called on-stage! On that day, I was busy with photo shoots the whole day.

2. The first time getting songs of my own
The Hello! Pro Eggs sing our senpai's songs, so we didn't have a song of our own. I'll treasure the first time I received the songs 'Watashi no Tamago' as part of a Shugo Chara Egg unit, and my Morning Musume début song, 'Maji Desuka Suka'.

3. My shoes flying off!
This is a little funny (laughs). It was difficult to pick three things in my Hello! Pro life. But in the middle of a concert, my sneakers got loose and flew up high. I feel that anyone who saw it wouldn't have forgotten it.

It really was a surprise! I was like 'Really!? Really!?'

During an Egg event, I was small in stature and slender, so the costume size didn't really fit well, and I slipped out of my skirt in front of the whole audience (laughs)

This was the first song I heard after joining the Eggs, and I came to like it

2. At a dance lesson, my partner didn't have shoes, so we went to a nearby shoe store to buy some
3. Nothing yet

My thoughts and observations:
  • Duu putting down 4 answers - but the extra one's related to the magazine, so I guess it was allowed to slide XD
  • Ikuta complaining about having no solo parts - this thing was in March, but she's brought it up pretty recently as well, in a nama-shashin (Ikuta has zero solo parts) and counting the number of syllables she got on a TV appearance (8, if you're interested). It reminds me of Sayu during the Platinum Era, where she'd bring attention to her 'solo parts', which were her going 'ooh' or 'ah'. 
  • Both of Kumaicho's #1 answers being about illness/injury.
  • Risako - She doesn't have a good relationship with microphones, does she?
  • I've been wondering what the details of Karin-chan's MM dressing room intrusion incident were. One story I've heard from that play is that Karin lent Sayu a manga and Sayu thought it was a gift. So Karin had to explain to Sayu that she wanted it back (From memory, it was on the lines of: 'Michishige-san, could I get that manga back? It's just that, my mother hasn't read it...' *include fear and trepidation to taste*). I don't think that's the trespassing incident in question though.

    1. Airi's always been very enthusiastic about Buono! Her blog post with her reaction to Berryz' hiatus announcement had her asking 'What's going to happen to Buono! after this?'.

      Momo's mention of her being more popular than Lady Gaga comes from when they were in America for AnimeNEXT 2012. Momo asked the audience who they liked more: Momochi or Lady Gaga. With an audience made up of idol fans, the response was unsurprisingly in Momo's favour. Here's a round-up of the girls' comments from AnimeNEXT, including that incident.

    1. I believe she had some sort of wardrobe malfunction during the 2013 HinaFes. You could start looking from there.
