Mimicking the Momochi Musubi

Inspired by the radio show videos on the Japanese YouTube channel (b-k macaron) as well as TheMusumeShow's highlights of Riho-Deli, I tried my hand at putting a translated portion of Trattoria Buono! into video. (Also as an aside, Roborobosubs have some translations of b-k macarons stuff up as well.)



This was done with Windows Live Movie Maker, with zero prior video editing experience.
Messing around with the quality, 720 quality seems clear enough, and at lower qualities there might be some difficulty reading the words, particularly Miya's. My apologies.

Don't expect videos to be something that happens often, since timing just eats up so much time. Might try out a different video editing programme next time though.

Berryz Kobo's au Book Pass original photo book 'Girls Messing Around'

{This interview was from around March, when the au campaign was in full swing. By now, Berryz Kobo has won the competition, and reaped the reward. 

For S/mileage's interview for this project, check out this post on Lurkette's blog.}

For the right to appear on a special broadcast of JOLF's 「All Night Nippon」, the 5 groups in Hello！ Project are competing with all their strength, through the electronic photo book project 「au 『Book Pass』 Presents HELLO！PROJECT Original Photo Book Produce Battle！ ～The overall champion will get to appear on an All Night Nippon Special!?～」。 Celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut on the 3rd of March, Berryz Kobo's theme is 「Girls Messing Around」、 and they've produced an original photo book, with their photos outlining a story riddled with them fooling around with all their might。 Why the choice of  「Girls Messing Around」 as a theme？ Let us listen to the girls speak to their heart's content on the topic of their expectations。

Momochi and Mano-chan on Maachan

Ah, Sato Masaki. Among the many legends concerning her, one of the highlights was how she wormed her way into Reina's heart and broke down her barriers.
In fact, she has this knack of making herself endearing to others.
So let me share one of my favourite tales of Maachan, where she even gets through to Momochi.

May 6th Nakano Night Evolution Tour
Topic: Waking up

[...]

Sayashi「Electronic sounds don't wake me up. I can't wake up unless it's with an alarm that rings mechanically」

Ishida「Previously, at a hotel, when I was in the same room as Sayashi-san, she said to me 『Ayumi-chan, wake me up tomorrow kay』,  so when I tried waking her up the next morning・・・
『（Brusquely shaking her hands）Shuddup！』」（Audience laughs）

Oda「Me too. When I tried waking up Sayashi-san when she was next to me on the Shinkansen, she said 『Wake me up when we have to split』
When we arrived at the station, Sayashi-san was still sleeping after I had gotten out of my seat、 so when I woke her up she was in a rush, going『Wake me up sooner！』」（Audience laughs）

Sayashi「Sorry、 I don't remember either of those happening」

Ishida「You know、 Sayashi-san picks and chooses people。 If it was Michishige-san waking her up
At first she'd be irritated but once she's confirmed with her own eyes that it's Michishige-san、she's all  『Ah、 my bad』」（Roar of laughter from the audience）

Oda「Basically, it's like she assumes that kind of behaviour towards us」

Sayashi「・・・I can't do anything but admit that」（Audience laughs）

The Girls Live: Berryz by Riho

Ah, one of my favourite songs, off Berryz' 9th album. So what did Riho have to highlight about the clothes she had prepared?

S/mileage Wada Ayaka「It would be good if the next leader of Hello! Pro after Michishige-san would be Shimizu Saki-san」

For the release of 『Mystery Night!/ Eighteen Emotion』、 S/mileage held a release event。

After its release, the sexy, danceable new songs immediately became the topic of conversation. This time, at the media scrum, Fukuda Kanon recounted the negatively unpleasant, 'I have nothing to say about those clothes,' mentioned by her father when he saw the extremely daring costumes. Then, with Nakanishi Kana commenting on the 75 days left to their Nippon Budokan performance, 'Since there's 75 days¹ I think I might cry at the Budokan,'  her sudden pun invited laughter.
¹ 'Nako-', which I've translated as 'cry' is an alternative reading for '75'



Also, when asked about the fan club priority tickets and on being told by adults that 'Just a mere half of them have been sold', leader Wada Ayaka boldly said 'I want to be able to triumph over those adults'. The graduation of Morning Musume. '14's Michishige Sayumi drew a sad response, and when Wada Ayaka and Fukuda Kanon were asked if they had any inclination to aim for the seat of Hello! Pro leader after Michishige Sayumi's graduation, Fukuda Kanon said 'It's too heavy a burden! Personally, I endorse Berryz Kobo's Shimizu-san! I'd even be willing to collect signatures for it!' Wada Ayaka also announced, 'I'm in agreement!'
