100 questions to Sakura Gakuin's Kikuchi Moa 【Complete version】

In 2014, Kikuchi Moa was inaugurated as Student Council President of Sakura Gakuin, and Mizuno Yui was appointed to hold the newly-created position of Chairperson of Production。

 This summer, as BABYMETAL, they'll be having a worldwide tour, and also making appearances in festivals in and out of the country. In the August issue of Gekkan Entame,  we have compiled a feature entitled  Sakura Gakuin 「YuiMoa」 Great Research』, where we make a thorough analysis of these 2 extremely global people。

 Due to space limitations, the publication of 「100 questions to Mizuno Yui」 and 「100 questions to Kikuchi Moa」 was only partially published (For Mizuno Yui, only 41 from the 100 questions were published、 and only 35 from the 100 questions for Kikuchi Moa), so here we include the remainder, which allows us to unveil all of the questions to the public!

{Here's my translation of Yui's Q&A}

Inaugurated as Student Council President for Sakura Gakuin this spring.

H!P Summer 2014 KOREZO: Share it if you like it (Part I - 12, 19 & 26 July)

For the KOREZO! performances held during the current Hello! Con (Summer 2014), there's a corner where the girls can highlight photos taken during the tour. A  Facebook page has been set up, entitled 'Hello! Pro Ki ni Ittara Share'. (H!P Share it if you like it).

Here's a selection of what piqued my interest. As the page says, if you like any of these photos, then 'Like' and 'Share' them on Facebook. Links are in the first line below the photo, the post titles.

【KOREZO! Okai-chanNeru!?】
Photograph from ℃-ute Nakajima Saki
Backstage at Nakano Sunplaza、 there's a sofa that can fit 2 people、 and that's become the place where Okai Chisato always takes a nap。
Once、 when Okai was intending to take nap、 it just so happened that Hagiwara was already sleeping there、 and this photo shows the conduct of Okai, who wanted to sleep no matter what。
At the table where they normally fix up their make up、 she messily swept out the stuff that was on it、 and after making some space、 she just slept like that。
By the way、 the light bulb just above her stomach gets so hot to the extent that touching it will give you burns、 so it's a pretty thrill-seeking sleeping form。 It might help out for dieting・・・ but everyone, please do not copy this!!

The New Tsugunaga Constitution: Articles 1 - 10

We now enter into the New Tsugunaga Constitution. While the articles of the original Tsugunaga Constitution were announced sporadically through Berryz Kobo's radio show 'Kiritsu! Rei! Chakuseki!', the New Tsugunaga Constitution made up part of Momoko-hime's new radio show 'Tsugunaga Momoko no Puri Puri Princess'. This also means that there are no gaps between the articles, so these'll be done in segments of 10.
Also, starting from the 4th article, Momoko-hime usually makes a one-liner after her proclamation. I've put those in too, just for a bit of added flavour.
Here'a link to the compiled original Tsugunaga Constitution, and here's a link to the compiled New Tsugunaga Constitution.

Without further ado, I present to you - the New Tsugunaga Constitution.

新嗣永憲法1条
  『毎週、必ずぷりぷりプリンセスを聴く。』
New Tsugunaga Constitution Article 1
Make sure to listen to Puri Puri Princess every week

Kashiyuka praising Sayashi

10 year old Sayashi pointed out by the red arrow

Recently Natalie, a Japanese news entertainment site, set up a Q&A with Perfume where fans could tweet their questions. I'd like to bring your attention to question 17.

Q17.
Q17. Over the past few years, your juniors from your alma mater, Actors School Hiroshima, have started popping up at all sorts of places. Have you ever appeared together with any of those girls, and how do you interact with them? #ナタリーPerfume質問企画 #prfm


Kashiyuka:
We hardly ever do、 however I recently went to see MoMusu。(Morning Musume。'14)-san's live performance。 Sayashi-chan、 she looked great。

Probably the other prolific Actors School Hiroshima alumnus that idol fans would be familiar with would be ex-Sakura Gakuin member Nakamoto Suzuka, perhaps more familiar as SU-METAL of BABYMETAL fame.

Twitter Tidbits #3

On songs that bring to mind the summer

Since someone tweeted that 「Natsu remember you」 had the scent of summer's end、 I reread the lyrics, and it talks about a pretty deep view of life。 With the age of those girls at the time、 I get the feeling that they had completely no idea what it meant・・・

KanaTomo slimming down, gaining weight



From 6:25~

Maimi: I'd like to report some information about one of the members. It's about Juice=Juice's Kanazawa Tomoko-chan. Recently, Tsunku♂-san and the other staff-san have been saying that she's slimmed down. But actually, her weight has increased. That's the information that I've received.

Riko (having side-eyed Maimi, and drawn herself back): Yajima-san, is mentioning that kind of discussion between girls all right?

Maimi: (giggles) Probably. It'll be okay. Kanazawa-chan's definitely slimmed down, but she might've put on some muscle. That's what I think. I'm pretty sure that's the case. When you turn into an adult, there'll be all sorts of problems you'll have to face.

Riko: Right.
