New Faces: Song you'd like to sing (H!P Maruwakari Summer 2015)

The HaroPuro MaruWakari Books are released in conjunction with the twice-yearly Hello! Con tours. The contents usually take the form of questionnaires to the members, mainly asking about other members.

As new additions to H!P, the Kobushi and Tsubaki Factories also get an additional questionnaire - the 'New Face Maruwakari Special''.

Q1. Song I'd like to sing on-stage

Fujii Rio: '16-sai no Koi Nante' with Yajima Maimi-san! At the time, it was sung by Abe Natsumi-san in her 20s and a 16 year old Yajima-san, so now I'd like the 16 year old me to sing it with Yajima-san in her 20s.

Hirose Ayaka: I'd like to try singing 'Gatamekira' with Nonaka Miki-chan!! It might be interesting as our vocal qualities differ completely.

Nomura Minami: I'd like to try singing 'Dot Bikini' with Wada Ayaka-san. It's the first CD I ever bought in my life. Wada-san is my oshimen!

Ogawa Rena: I'd like to sing Morning Musume。´15-san's 'Namidacchi'. The lyrics are great and emotionally moving, so I'd like to try singing it.

Hamaura Ayano: 'Shabondama' with Oda Sakura-chan. 'Gatamekira' with Murota Mizuki-chan and Miyamoto Karin-chan. That's what I'd like to sing.

Taguchi Natsumi: I'd like to try singing 'Hatsukoi Cider' with Suzuki Airi-san. Suzuki-san is really cute and lovely when she sings that song, so I'd like to try it on the same stage with her!

Wada Sakurako: Morning Musume。-san's 'Shabondama'. I'd like to try singing such a cool song with all my heart.

Inoue Rei: I'd like to sing 'Kokoro no Sakebi wo Uta ni shitemita' with ℃-ute-san.

Q1. Song I'd like to sing on-stage

Ogata Risa: I'd like to sing Morning Musume。-san's 'Happy Daisakusen' with all the members of Hello! Project. I think it'll pump up the concert.

Yamagishi Riko: ℃-ute-san's 'Akogare My Star'. I think that up-tempo songs are difficult but cool. As for who I'd like to perform it with, it'd be Ikuta Erina-san, Ishida Ayumi-san, Fukuda Kanon-san, Murota Mizuki-san, Miyamoto Karin-san, Uemura Akari-san.

Niinuma Kisora: Yamaki Risa-chan. It's my dream to have something like a birthday event together! The song would be ℃-ute-san's 'Kanashiki Amefuri'!!

Tanimoto Ami: I'd like to sing 'Renai Revolution 21' with all of Hello! Project.

Kishimoto Yumeno: I'd like to try singing Tsugunaga Momoko-san and Natsuyaki Miyabi-san's duet 'Ai ha Ai desho' with Takagi Sayuki-san. I'll frantically be rushing after Takagi-san , but it would be a good learning experience.

Asakura Kiki: I'd like Tsubaki Factory to try out 'Kimagure Princess'. But it doesn't fit our current atmosphere, so 3 years in the future might be better (laughs).

Notes and observations:

• Mentioned songs by group:
  

  Mentions	Group
  6	Morning Musume。
  3	℃-ute
  2	Taiyou to Ciscomoon
  1	Berryz Kobo, Buono!, S/mileage, Special Single

  Gatamekira and Shabondama were both mentioned twice
• I suspect that the question was changed, because the way Niinuma answers doesn't make sense. Also, there seems to be an implicit suggestion that they should mention who they'd like to perform with.
  

  Mentions	Group
  3	℃-ute, Morning Musume。, ANGERME, Juice=Juice
  2	H!P, did not mention anyone
  1	Country Girls, Tsubaki Factory

  Only girls mentioned twice were Murotan and Karin-chan, both by Hamachan and RikoRiko
• Fujidon brought up '16sai no Koi Nante'. If Maimi lasts in H!P until 2018, here's the current list of members that'll be 16 while Maimi's 26: Wada Sakurako, Sasaki Rikako, Yanagawa Nanami, Ozeki Mai, Haga Akane, Funaki Musubu. Ozeki Mai celebrates her birthday in the same month as Maimi, if that counts for anything.
