Berryz Kobo x ℃-ute Cross Talk: Tsugunaga Momoko x Suzuki Airi

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Hello! Project Kids in 2012, a book entitled Rival - 12 shoujo no 10-nen monogatari - (The 10-year legend of the 12 girls) was released. The book contains 2-page discussions between pairs of girls, covering all 66 possible combinations of them.

This time around, we'll be looking into the discussion between Berryz Kobo's Tsugunaga Momoko and  ℃-ute's Suzuki Airi. This pair make up two-thirds of Buono!, and are also the first and last to appear in the PV for the BeriKyuu collaboration Cho! Happy Song. Enjoy!

Tsugunaga Momoko X Suzuki Airi

In their groups, the image colour for the 2 of them is 'pink'. But it seems that the feelings they associate with their colours differ...

On good terms but mutually respectful, keep an eye on the sense of distance between these two!

1001 Nights - The 15th Night: Shimizu Saki & Natsuyaki Miyabi

On the 4th of December 2014, Captain Shimizu Saki and Vice-captain Natsuyaki Miyabi held a talk show for the Hello! Shop's series of talk events. The theme was 'At that time, Berryz were...' There were two shows, the first focusing on 2005 and the second on 2007.

Going through the fan tweets about the events via the hashtag #ベリーズハロショ, I tweeted translations of the reports that piqued my interest. By the end of it, I'd tweeted enough that I thought it'd be a pity to lose them to the mists of Twitter's timeline. So here are a collection of the translations I made based on the reports.

Quick disclaimer, this isn't comprehensive, some reports were missed out due to lack of interest/complexity/laziness/all the above. If you'd like to have a go, here's a collection of tweets concerning the event. Also a big shout-out to the Japanese fans who kept up with the reports, particularly @tozamasan, who's responsible for the bulk of the tweets

Introduction

Along with a Yurushite-nyan♥, it's everyone's idol! Cute as always today, I'm 'Momochi' Tsugunaga Momoko.

My occupation - an eternal idol, my favourite colour is pink, my favourite word is 'Happy', my favourite number is 29, from Tsugunaga. By the way, my weight is equivalent to 29 peaches ♥

But when it comes to the number 29, the problem is that our producer Tsunku♂-san is also associated with 29 (through Tsunku = two-kyu = 29). It's said that 'The 29th of every month is Tsunku♂ day', but I'd like to say, 'No, it's Tsugu (29) day'. Even though I thought that it might be impertinent to compete with our producer, first of all, I was taught that 'Everyone's the same when you're standing on-stage, don't hold back,' by none other than Tsunku♂-san himself. For competing, I think that I'd rather follow that advice. Ah, look at how diligent Momochi is ♥

But whatever we may say, the impression that the 29th is 'Niku no Hi', Meat Day, is overwhelmingly strong. I don't think that should be the winner, honestly. That said, recently my feelings have changed, and I think that 22 is nice. It's 'NyanNyan', and now that I've turned 22, if you look at the wavy form of the number 22 lon~g and har~d, you'll see the Momochi Musubi... Well, of course, it might not seem like it right now. But as you read this book and bask in the abundance of Momochi's essence, I feel that you'll definitely see it, even if you don't want to! And because of that, this book is slightly fixated on '22'.

And with that, please have your fill of the spinning and spinning Momochi world to your heart's content ♪
