Q4. Please place the members of ℃-ute into family roles (Father, Mother, Older Sister, Younger Sister, Pet).

Comments and observations:

Aggregating it all: Let's count the top two of each category:

Father	Mother	Older Sister	Younger Sister	Pet
Yajima Maimi	Yajima Maimi	Suzuki Airi	Hagiwara Mai	Suzuki Airi
24	19	20	29	16
Okai Chisato	Nakajima Saki	Hagiwara Mai	Okai Chisato	Okai Chisato
18	17	10	8	13

Double Maimi as both parents sounds like trouble though.

If we force unique roles, picking the biggest winner first, we'd end up with something like this:

Father	Mother	Older Sister	Younger Sister	Pet
Yajima Maimi	Nakajima Saki	Suzuki Airi	Hagiwara Mai	Okai Chisato

People who picked this combination: Ishida, Take, Momo, Oze, Tagu, Tanimoto, Kiki.
Looks like no one in JJ hit on this combination. They're the smallest group though, so less chances there.

Odd ones out:

• MaiMai as dad - Kassa, wut is wrong with you?
• MaiMai as mum - Nomusan, wut is wrong with you?
• Maimi as younger sister - Kassa, wut.. oh, it's you again.
• Maimi as pet - Duu, wut is wrong with you? ... OK, I can actually see this one. A doggy that keeps on breaking things by accident.

With all the odd ones out, I'd like to point out that Airi never got picked for the father role. Despite her love of puns...

Pets:

• Okai-chan is almost always a dog. Ishida's the exception here, picking Okai-chan as a parrot.
• Fujidon put out her neck and pegged Nacky as the fish. Props to her.

Selected translations:

Kudo Haruka:
Father → Okai-san. Every day would be so much fun with such an entertaining dad!
Mother → Suzuki-san. I feel like she'd be sweet on me! If I fall down and hurt myself, I want her to console me with pats on my head when I get home.
Older sister → Hagiwara-san. In general, Hagiwara-san is the Hello! member who really makes me think 'I'd love to have an older sister like her~'. Easy choice!
Younger sister → Nakajima-san. Imagining Nakajima-san when she was small, I'd have so much happiness every day with a younger sister like that. If I could wish it, I'd like to be her older brother. (laughs)
Pet → Yajima-san. I'd like her to see her as a strong doggie, a doggie who could go on and play fetch forever when we're at the park!

Kasahara Momona:
Father → Hagiwara-san. It would be a joy to have such a playful dad.
Mother → Okai-san. Feels like every day would be fun.
Older sister → Nakajima-san. She's cool and cute, so I feel like she'd teach me a lot of things.
Younger sister → Yajima-san. It would be awesome to have such a beautiful younger sister.
Pet → Suzuki-san. I'd definitely want her to be a doggie, and make her wear some fluffy clothes.

Uemura Akari:
Father → Yajima-san. Since I feel that she'd be the steady pillar of the family.
Mother → Okai-san. Since I feel that she'd brighten up the household.
Older sister → Suzuki-san. When I think about how nice it would be to have an older sister to boast about, I think about how Suzuki-san has such older sister features.
Younger sister → Hagiwara-san. As she's the youngest in ℃-ute-san, she really fits the younger sister image.
Pet → Nakajima-san. She'd be an owl. She'd watch over everyone.

Tsugunaga Momoko:
Father → Maimi. In ℃-ute and H!P, she's unreliable but still gives proper support, so I'd like to convey my gratitude. Yo! Leader!!!!
Mother → Nacky. Since she's always supporting the clumsy leader.
Older sister → Airin. She occasionally acts like an adult when we're together in Buono!
Younger sister → MaiMai. Even now, in my mind, she's still the same first grader that I first met.
Pet (Dog) → Chisato. Since she's always yapping.

Fujii Rio:
Father → Okai-san. Since I feel that we'd be able to rely on her for manual labour.
Mother → Yajima-san. Since I feel that she'd be kind, but occasionally strict.
Older sister → Hagiwara-san. Since I feel that she'd teach me about make-up and fashion.
Younger sister → Suzuki-san. Since I feel that we'd play around together, doing weird things.
Pet → Nakajima-san. Goldfish (I'm sorryyyyyy). But I think that she'll definitely be cute.

Hirose Ayaka:
Father → Yajima-san. Since I think that she's reliable!!
Mother → Okai-san. Since she has a lot of siblings, I feel that she'd become a wonderful mother ♥
Older sister → Nakajima-san. I feel like we'd talk about all sorts of things, and she'd bring me to all sorts of places ♥
Younger sister → Hagiwara-san. In this whole world, she's the closest to the definition of the word 'younger sister' ...
Pet → Suzuki-san. Her breed would be 'Nyairi'. Such a loving cat... It'd be crazy. I want her to go 'Old lady!'

Nomura Minami:
Father → Nakajima-san. She's serious and strict on herself, and since I think that she'd take care of others above herself, she's the dad.
Mother → Hagiwara-san. Backstage, she'll do members' hair, she observes her surroundings, her fingers are really nimble.
Older sister → Yajima-san. She seems like a beautiful older sister. I feel like she'd be kind, she'd advise me whenever I'm troubled!
Younger sister → Okai-san. If I had a younger sister like Okai-san, she'd definitely be cute, and every day would be fun. She'd get told of by the mother for pulling pranks.
Pet → Suzuki-san. If I had a kitty as cute as Suzuki-san, I'd give it tender loving care every day! I'd give it lots of treats!!

Wada Sakurako:
Father → Yajima-san. Feels like she'd be the central pillar of the household.
Mother → Nakajima-san. Since I imagine that she'd be a mother who'd watch over us warmly.
Older sister → Hagiwara-san. Am older sister who'd patiently teach me about fashion.
Younger sister → Okai-san. Since I think that she'd be a cute, if tomboy-ish, little sister.
Pet (Bunny) → Suzuki-san. I think she's really charming.
