Momochi no Kimochi - Delusional Theatre of Love - Encounter edition

I'd like to have this sort of romance!

A Momochi-style romance simulation

Encounter edition

I am Tsugunaga Momoko. Nickname: Momochi. My hobbies are reading and watching DVDs. But if I just shut myself in at home, it's hard to encounter anyone...... And so, I went to the rental store by myself to pick out some DVDs. Hohoho~

I'd already checked out the new releases, so I was going to rent them today. 'Ah, this one! I've always wanted to watch it!'

The moment I stretched out to take it, another large hand reached out for it at the same time.
'Oops, I'm sorry.'

It was a guy that I'd never seen before. He only said 'I'm fine, you can have it' and went off. Though he did seem eager to watch it as well. Was it really all right for me to take it?

The next day, as I was walking in town, thinking about the DVD that I'd watched yesterday, a guy suddenly turned the corner and we collided into one another! Ouchie~☆

'I'm sorry, are you injured?'

'I'm fine. Sorry, I was spacing out as well.'

As the two of us picked up our scattered belongings, we passed our things to one another.

'Thank you. I've got to hurry, so excuse me. I'm really sorry.'

Eh? Could it be, yesterday's...? No no, that's too much of a coincidence. Right?
Oh no! Regardless of what happened, if I don't hurry, I'll miss my train!
I dashed off to the station, and took out my pass case from my bag.
However, something felt a bit off.

'Hmm? This isn't mine! It's that guy's!'

In it was that guy's licence, and a Berryz Kobo fan club membership card.

'Is this...... destiny?'

Momochi's anatomy

From left to right: Pinky, Chin, Momochi Musubi, Ribbon, Feet

Momochi Musubi

The Momochi Musubi are like my characteristic trademark. One of these days, they're going to make promotional goods using Momochi's silhouette ♥ Unexpectedly, treatments are their weakness. My hair gets so silky smooth that it hinders me from tying them up the next day.

OzeMomo's lovey-dovey shots

Doing promotions for their 4th single 'Do Datte Ii No / Namida no Request', Tsugunaga Momoko and Ozeki Mai did a quiz at an event in September 2016.
The two of them would be given questions, and the challenge was to provide the same answers. Who cares about the 10 year age difference, right?
Between them, OzeMomo managed to get 6 matches out of 10 questions.

But no Japanese quiz would be complete without a punishment game.
And so, they had to atone for their 4 wrong questions.

Their punishment was...

To upload 'chummy, lovey-dovey' pictures on their official Twitter account.

(Quick Japanese lesson: Oze signs off as 'Ozeo' (おぜ男), where that last 'o' is the kanji that means 'man' - implying that she's the guy in this relationship)

Country Girls - To Shout Out Their Secret (BLT March 2017)

Their last single before Tsugunaga Momoko's graduation will be going on sale!

With all of the members around, each member makes a big confession ♥

While we await the sale of their last single before Tsugunaga Momoko's graduation, the members confess some previously unknown stories ♥

I'd like this to be a single where I use up my whole 15 years (Tsugunaga)

You've finally announced your last single before the graduation of Momochi (Tsugunaga)-san.

Tsugunaga: As we draw closer to my graduation, more and more things are becoming 'lasts', which reminds me how close my graduation is. I'd like this to be a single where I use up my whole 15 years.

Ozeki: In 'Peanut Butter Jelly Love', you can hear Momochi-senpai's wonderful, lovely voice!

Tsugunaga: You're raising the bar too high. (laughs) I get to feature in this last one, so it's a difficult song that requires a broad singing register, but I'd like to sing it properly.

Funaki: The beginning is particularly difficult, you can tell from the look on Momochi-senpai's face. (laughs)

Morito: It's a cute song that's very Country Girls, and I hope that you keep an eye on the intricacies of the dance moves as well.

Yanagawa: The music video is cute and fairytale-like, and I hope that we can express the world of the song.

Yamaki: We were under the cold weather for the tea party scene, but we acted as if it was warm, so please watch that as well. (laughs)

How about 'Good Boy Bad Girl'?

Morito: The lyrics are split between a guy and a girl, and there's part of the choreography that looks like we're kissing. And it was fresh to have (Ozeki) Mai-chan take on the girl role.

Ozeki: I've been established as a guy character, so being put in the girl role was something that I found to be difficult, despite being a girl myself. (laughs)

Yamaki: The dance moves put a lot of pressure on me. 'Cause if I make a mistake, I might end up kicking Momochi-senpai in the head......

Tsugunaga: We have to hold hands after that, and yours get really sweaty. (laughs)

Funaki: The two songs are completely different, so you can enjoy various sides of Country Girls through this one single.

Yanagawa: In terms of dancing and singing, it's our hardest single yet, but we'll work hard with everything we've got in order to reach a high level!

MM 13ki - The story of how the 2 of them started (BLT Mar 2017)

The first BLT appearance of the Morning Musume。´17 13ki members!

Nippon Budokan, 12 December 2016.

The first unveiling of the Morning Musume。13ki members

Kaga Kaede and Yokoyama Reina.

These two new heroines

Will be making a new story from now on.

A frank talk about the true feelings of of the two 13ki, just after they joined!

It's your first appearance, so firstly, please tell us what led you to want to join Morning Musume。!

Kaga: I've always liked them since I was small, but when I watched the MV to 'One Two Three', their dancing and singing were really cool. And then I took the 11ki audition. While I failed, I became a Kenshuusei. And after being a Kenshuusei for 4 years, I joined as a 13ki.

Yokoyama: I've liked them since I was in primary school as well, but what got me started was watching the Morning Musume。 wake-up prank when I was in middle school. Despite having just woken up, they had smiles on their faces, their dancing was sharp, and I thought that it would definitely be fun to be in such a group.

That legendary wake-up concert was your start!

Yokoyama: Yes. (laughs) Ah, could it be, this interview is actually a prank?...

This isn't a prank. (laughs) By the way, what dreams did you have a long time ago?
