Morning Musume。´14 and guitars

In 2014, each H!P group had the opportunity to make their own digital photo book as part of the au Book Pass campaign. Each group got to choose their own theme, and would take photos and choose which pictures to use. The theme chosen by the Musume was 'Bunkasai Joshi' - 'Liberal Arts Girls'. Along with that, each of the then-five groups were also interviewed about the process. Here's an excerpt from Morning Musume。´14's interview.


Sato It was my first time holding a guitar, and I thought that it was heavy. I can't play it at all, so if I'm able to play the guitar someday, I'd like to try playing a song composed by Tsunku♂-san.
──Singing to your own accompaniment?
Sato Yup. When the day comes where I'm able to do it, I'd like to surprise people, make them go, 'Eh, Is that Maachan playing the guitar?'

Morning Musume。´15 Nationwide Simultaneous Handshake Events: Eripon in Nagasaki & Fukuoka

Promoting their new single 'Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru / Yuugure ha Ameagari / Ima Koko Kara', Morning Musume。 have once again held nationwide handshake event on the 16th and 17th of April. Their journeys were covered on Twitter, and I've compiled them by member, with accompanying translations.

While Eripon was a Twitter user in a previous life, the wording of some tweets suggest that they could have come from her manager rather than from Ikuta herself. Japanese can be ambiguous like that. As a default, I assume that the tweets are from Ikuta herself, but just keep in mind that it could be the words of her manager while you read.

Day 1 - Nagasaki

Arrived at Nagasakiー ❤
Ate cha-cha-chanpon ( ¨̮ )
(In the style of cho-choto mate onii-san)
Are any of you coming to the handshake event???

I'll notify you of Ikuta-san's live broadcasts again later


Went to the arched bridgeー( ¨̮ )
From now on, I'll be at a live broadcast of 「Yojimaru」ー!

Everyone, watch it ok (*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡

A live radio broadcast from now!
FM Nagasaki-san's 「Spicy voxxx」 ( ¨̮ )

You can listen to it on Radiko, so listen to it ( ˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )
Open-to-public radio has me nervous-nya!

We'll be holding a handshake event at Kamome plaza in front of JR Nagasaki station ٩(๑òωó๑)۶
You guys, comeーーーー( ˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )

Holding the handshake event opposite where I did the radio show lol
Already on standby。。。

2015 HinaFes Blog Relay - #4 Miyamoto Karin Miyazaki Yuka

While Eripon initially putted the baton to Miyamoto Karin, her new short-cut must have left her vulnerable, and she's currently recovering from the flu. While we pray that she gets well soon, picking up the baton in her stead is Juice=Juice leader Miyazaki Yuka!

(Original blog post in Japanese)


This was started by
Yajima Maimi-san from ℃-ute

The HinaFes Relay Blog…


And yesterday Morning Musume。’15′s
Ikuta Erina-san

Passed the baton to
Miyamoto Karin-chan!


But、 Karin-chan
Is currently recovering from the flu

So to make up for her
I’ll be taking up the baton
As leader

2015 HinaFes Blog Relay - #3 Ikuta Erina

H!P's youngest has brought the baton to the driving range and handed it off to Morning Musume。’15's Ikuta Erina! Will she score a hole-in-one in your heart?

(Original blog post in Japanese)


The HinaFes relay。。。

It came around to me from Ozeki Mai-chan!!!!

There's a theme。。。

It seems that the theme is 「Is It Just Me?。。。」!!

And so。。。

For Erina、 it generally takes me 2 minutes from seeing an item at a store to decide whether or not I should buy it。。。

But that's normal, right!?

How about that!?

At the HinaFes、 I'll do my best so that Ozeki Mai-chan will say that I'm funny this year tooーーー!!!!


And。。。

Next、 Miyamoto Karin-chan, who I've recently promised to hang out with!!

Greetings from the Land of the Bellybuttons!

CanCam magazine had a feature on waists in their July 2014 issue.
Three of the featured girls that piqued my interest were S/mileage's Fukuda Kanon, Morning Musume. '14's Ikuta Erina, and Tokyo Girls' Style's Arai Hitomi.
I've edited the scans I for a more pleasant reading experience. In the process of editing the scans, I covered up part of the images. To make up for that, I'll be including the original scans I had so you can see those midriffs in their full glory. And aren't they scrumptious?
Please click on the pictures for larger versions.

Morning Musume。 '14 interview with Oricon Style for 'Toki wo Koe Sora wo Koe / Password is 0'

Currently making another breakthrough! What's event made them feel as if their faces and names were remembered?


Fukumura Mizuki
―― Firstly, we'd like to hear about the first of your two songs from the double A single 「Toki wo Koe Sora wo Koe」 (Crossing time, crossing space)! What sort of song is it?
【Ikuta Erina】 With such a grand title (laughs), I think that this song that is able to evoke a response in everyone. It's packed with tons of lyrics such as 'On days when you're lonely and can't sleep, it's okay to cry,' impressive lyrics that can open up your mind. 

【Ishida Ayumi】 Normally, when we tell the audience that we'll be performing our latest song,
all the fans would obstinately try to dance along together with us. But when it comes to this song, all of them listen to it carefully, even though they've already seen us perform it at concerts [and thus would have been able to follow along with the dance]. 

【Fukumura Mizuki】 That hasn't happened before. I think that this song really does cross time. As Eripon (Ikuta) mentioned, there are plenty of lyrics that can resonate with the listener. At the same time, the lyrics seem to talk about the future. The music video (MV) is like that as well, and this amazing 'sense of space' comes out during the concerts! Even the dance looks like we're moving in water, bringing to mind a sense of us floating in zero gravity。

H!P Blog Relay #6

{Continuing on from Yuka-nyan, I'm surprised that it took this long for a translation in this relay to stump me}

Ikuta Erina - 7th March



This has come around from Juice=Juice's Miyazaki Yuka-chan


Something that moved me recently。。。

It's the lines that I got from au-san's CM

For the song、 I give out the impression of zero zero zero ♫ 。。。

But for the CM、 it doesn't feel like zero zero zero ♫

Ikuta has arrivedーーーーーーーー

I'll do my best from now on too

The proportion of the song I get、 I'd like to increase it to like One・Two・Three

By the way、 what is something that has moved Berryz Kobo's Shimizu Saki-san recently ??


Please tell Ikuta ーーーーーーー


For 『HinaFes 2014』、 I think it'll give us a lot of moving impressions

{Honestly, I'm not sure if I got what she meant. Most likely due to my own lack of ability as a translator. Corrections/suggestions, always welcome.
Let's handspring on to Captain Shimizu Saki}

Selected comments from MM Choreographer YOSHIKO

「Gekkan Entame」 2014 January Edition Morning Musume。Super Dance Course


[Note: These comments are from YOSHIKO-sensei, who was in charge for most of Morning Musume's recent formation dances]

【Fukumura Mizuki(17)】<Memorises the [other] members' dance moves! Honour student sub-leader>
She's very stable。Furthermore、 it feels like she's steadily made progress up to now。
Similar to Sayashi and Ishida、 she's the type who actively enters into the dance scenes。
Since she makes large movements、 it's also very forceful。
Since there are a lot of slender members、 I think in the eyes of the guests at lives、Fukumura's dynamic movements will stand out 。

【Ikuta Erina(16)】<Aiming to be the world's number one idol! Successor of the lime-green>
The Ikuta of recent times is great。  Her movements are sharp。
 She's blessed in a physical way。
Speaking of that、I just recently found out that she's able to do handsprings。
Perhaps、there's a chance that I'll make a feature of that move。
Ikuta's fans, please hope for it (lol)。

【Sayashi Riho(15)】<No questions asked, the absolute ace!  Child of the dance gods>
From the auditions, her dancing was extraordinarily good。
She's a member that I can entrust and feel secure with。
Therefore、 I don't have anything in particular to say (lol)。
Sayashi、 I think she's definitely the one who'll attract the most attention wherever she is。
Anyway, she herself dances with a good feeling、 so watching it gives you a sort of refreshing feeling。

【Ishida Ayumi(16)】 <Her dance ability is authentic! Dancer of the forest>
Of course, Ishida's dancing is good。
She's also got a lot of experience。Of that、 I believe that everyone knows。
But to me、 she's skilled、 but I expected more。
What I want from Ishida is something explosive that goes beyond skilled・unskilled。
I want her to give something to the customers、 something that will make their heart feel like it's trembling。

Edit: Chinatsu on Hello! Online did translations of the rest.

PonPon backbiting


「Hello! Pro Maruwakari BOOK」 2014 WINTER 
Q8. My secrets、 one slipped out
Ikuta Erina
Actually、I can normally play「Natsumatsuri」 on Taiko no Tatsujin at Oni (diifculty)。At best、  I  won’t even make a mistake。But I’ve never said it in front of Mizuki。 After all, taking over someone’s special skill isn’t good、but when a member announces her special skill、even though I want to say that I can do it too, I have to refrain from saying it。 I think that I want to let them show of their skill。 
Q9. Please! Fix this
Fukumura Mizuki
Ikuta Erina It’s okay to burst in noisily while we’re in the middle of a photography session、but please be more aware of it when we aren’t in a photoshoot。 Since you’ve really got some show-offy parts to you、 please respect that we’re really trying to display ourselves naturally in the middle of taking a single cut during the photoshoot。 But once the photoshoot has ended you can go back to your boisterous ways。 I guess I’ve already said what I couldn’t(lol)。
