「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.

Gets!
Seeing ManoEri on the shelves, her eyes pleading me to take her away...
Yeah, willpower broken. Insta-grab.
And you know how it is, once you make a purchase, you make a ton of purchases XD
So also scored a Kyoko Fukada and a relatively cheap Hashimoto Kanna.
Managed to refrain from Yoshiki Risa's Dream Wedding, which would have increased the cost by 50%...
The spoils:
- UTB Feb 2014 - ManoEri cover
- Kyoko Fukada - Blue Moon
- anan - Hashimoto Kanna on cover, but an idol issue. Cover says 'Secretly researching idol'
Have they stopped making those trading cards for UTB though? What I got was a poster - MM 10ki though, can't complain.

Ichion Nyuukon
Now Moa's known to be an Airi fan, so I wonder if it's more than a coincidence that the aspiration she wrote - Ichiion Nyuukon, put your soul into each and every note - happens to be Airi's motto (see question 5).

Oda Sakura: If humanity were to evolve they'd become Sato-san
Oda: Speaking about Sato-san... If humanity were to evolve I think that they'd become the same type as Sato-san
- What, is she a completely different type of organism (laughs).
Oda: There often something off when you compare the things everyone talks about to the things Sato-san talks about. Yet I think it's strange that it all meshes together.
Watching 'making of' DVDs before I became a member, I found myself thinking "Does such a person really exist", but that really is how she is as a person.
I think that it's wonderful. The senpai may have said it before,
but if Sato-san wasn't around, I think there wouldn't be this atmosphere of the current Morning Musume.
I think she really has this ability to connect people together.

Notes: Not my best translation, but the content was interesting enough that I still think it was worth sharing. I'll leave you with my favourite 2ch comment: '[This is the] Maachan theory of evolution'

H!P DVD Magazine Vol 40 - Berryz Kobo
Set-up
So the Berryz-chans enter the room to find 6 bottles of Oronamin C. The girls make a quick grab at them, leaving Maasa without. (Note: Oronamin is Maasa's favourite drink)So they shift the drinks along one person, which leaves Yurina without one XD
They reveal the final bottle in a box under a red cloth.
Yurina: Is it okay if I break open this box?
They need to clear three missions for the key.
But Captain also reads out that as a penalty for for failure, they have to drink a supper bitter drink over there~
Which happens to be right behind her, which everyone points out should be 'here' rather than 'over there'.
Cap: I mentioned it and it just happened to be behind me
They also decide as a group who will drink it, so Cap also mentions that it's possible that the same person might end up drinking it XD
The topics:
Kanji, Maths, Social studies
English, Beauty, General knowledge
Miya (whispering as she sits down): I don't like it, don't like it, I don't fancy all these academic things.
Straight off the bat they strike off English and Maths, and go for Beauty.
Beauty
They're asked to do a version of Chinese whispers with drawings.Momo, seated after Captain, noted that she was in the worst spot (Note: Captain is notorious for her lack of drawing skills.)
Chinami starts off, and notes that the paw is a main point.
However the girls before Maasa lose hope once they looked at her drawing. XD
It turns out okay as Ricchan gives the correct answer - a cat.
When asked about the possibility of confusing it with a fox, Chinami pointed out that the paw was supposed to bring up the image of 'Yurushite Nyan'
Kanji
They then discuss possible questions for the kanji section. Miya suggest the possibility of favourite mottos.Miya's favourite motto: Isshou Kenmei (With all your might)
They then discuss switching places. Maasa ends up at the end, because it's kanji. Kumaicho 2nd last, since Momo points out that she writes nicely. Momo and Captain deliberate over their spots, with Captain pointing out that Momo's trying to be sly and run away, as well as the fact is that Momo should've have learnt it (Trans comment: After all, she is studying education).
Cap: I can't really do kanji at all
Momo: I have a feeling you'll do good (Ii kanji da yo)
Miya: So no complaints about [me and Chinami] not budging from the first two spots?
Challenge: Read out the following kanji
They do well, until Yurina hits a roadblock.
The girls recommend #1 to her, which she gets on the fourth attempt, thanks to Miya's gesturing.
Miya: Doing these things makes you feel like you've really worked hard in your studies
General knowledge
Miya: Give me an example [of general knowledge questions]. Like garbage days?Cap: That differs by region lol
Momo points out that since Berryz are often said to be a bunch of idiots, you could look at it positively and think that being successful in this challenge would put the spotlight on them.
Chii: You're a genius - we can change our image after 10 years
They janken to decide positions, after persuading Miya and Chii that they should shift to get rid of their idiotic image. Miya still tries to cut in after losing the first round though XD
Miya and Yurina manage to persuade Captain to take the last spot.
Chinami complains that she's thirsty. The others recommend that she have the punishment drink XD
Momo points out that Chii can blame the juice if she's unable to answer. Chii still ends up saying no.
Momo: But if we fail this, Chii has to drink it. It'll make it more exciting
Chii: It would actually be more exciting if the one drinking it was you
And Chinami starts off already wondering what the first words mean XD ('Verbal', if you're interested)
Challenge: Please give verbal answers for the following: National Holidays
The girls give their answers, but complained that the bell was slow to ring.
And the reason they didn't ring it because there were wrong answers - Father's day (Chii's answer) and Mother's day (Miya's answer) aren't national holidays.
A note in the video mentions that the game should have ended at Chii's mistake, but they continued because everyone was so spirited.
There should have been a punishment, but this time they were given a special out.
Social studies
They persuade Chii to move to the back - supposedly because the lighting was better there XDMaasa gets the last place because she's the boss of society XD
Challenge: Write out the name of a land-locked prefecture
Chii got stuck, with Miya being the only other one who had to rewrite her answer.
It never got to the boss of society
Momo notes that Yurina got the 'Tochi' in Tochigi wrong.
There were only 8 correct answers though, so it was tough.
Chii is made to drink the punishment drink. The others mention that it's good for the skin.
After she's finished reacting to it and had a drink of water, they comment that she became radiant after drinking it.
Maths
Miya points out that Momo and Captain would be the best for Maths, so they end up as the last twoChallenge: Double the number of the previous answer
Miya takes forever though XD
No one gets punished this time, probably since this is the last one.
Wrap-up
Chii gets one early on due to her making puppy eyes.The others deliberate on doing janken, loser doesn't get a drink. Chii wants to join in to be fair.
The others one by one say that they're giving up their right to drink, until Chii jumps in - which the rest follow up with an 'if you say so'. XD
So Chii's the loser in the end.
