モーニング娘。の最新のオーディションも大詰め。そんな中、ふと思ったのが、最近の中学生は運動部に属さない子が多くなっているような気がした。もしくは今時のアイドルを目指す子は運動部に属さないタイプが多くなったのか・・・初期モーニング娘。の頃はあまり感じなかった感想である。

We're at the finale of Morning Musume.'s latest audition. Through it, it suddenly occurred to me that it feels like there are a lot of girls who aren't part of a sports club. Or perhaps the majority of girls who want to be idols in this day and age aren't the type who join sports clubs... When Morning Musume. first started, I hardly ever got that impression.Tsunku♂ on this year's 24-hour TV marathon
24時間テレビの感動の余韻…最後に本当のキセキを呼び起こすリーダー。うん、俺も自分に正直に立ち向かおうと勇気を貰いました。本当にありがとう。一緒に仕事したあの頃からも10年以上経つけどみんな心は少年のまま。これから起こる新たなるキセキを呼び起こせるような気がしました。

The memory of how moved I was by 24-hour TV... At the end, Leader (Joshima Shigeru of TOKIO) brought forth a real miracle. Yes, I too honestly received some courage to fight back. Thank you so very much. It's been over ten years since the time we worked together, but we're still boys at heart. I feel that a new miracle will be called forth from now on.
24時間テレビで走ってた姿を見て以来すっかりリーダーのファンになった3歳次女。「リーダー見たい」という彼女の言葉の意味はTOKIOが見たいの意。ambitious japanを空で覚えた彼女は 「ビーおじさん🎵」と自分の知ってるボキャブラリーの中でなんとか置き換えてコピーした。

Ever since she saw the sight of Leader running for 24-hour TV, my 3-year old daughter has become a fan. When she says 'I want to see Leader', it means she wants to watch TOKIO. Remembering Ambitious Japan off the top of her head, she goes 'Be Ojiisan', replacing the words with the vocabulary she has.(T/N: The correct line in Ambitious Japan is 'Be ambitious')
(Also, here's a translation of the letter from Tsunku♂ to MM.'14 and the OGs when they performed for 24-hour TV, by Sohee of Hello! Base:
