You have to check out these 4 girls, spilling over with a uniqueness somewhat different to what we've had before~★

Apologies (TopYell+ 2014 H!P Great Dictionary)

In TopYell+ H!P edition (March 2014), there's the Hello! Pro great dictionary - basically your run of the mill questionnaire.

Although it's set out by person, I'm arranging it by question instead. Links to the other questions I've translated in this series are at the end.

Q4. Taking the opportunity to do so now, which Hello! Pro member you would like to apologise to?

Q4. Taking the opportunity to do so now, which Hello! Pro member you would like to apologise to?

Michishige Sayumi

Fuku-chan (Fukumura Mizuki)

During the shooting we had for au-san, I got paired with Fuku-chan, and we had to jump in pairs to form the numeral '0' with our bodies. But since I don't have any jumping strength, we had to retake it countless times, which meant that I was making Fuku-chan jump countless times too...

Fukumura Mizuki

Tsugunaga Momoko-san

Tsugunaga-san knows that I like her, and there have been times when she's tried talking to me. However, I would keep on getting so nervous that our conversations would end almost immediately... Sorry if I bored you (cries). But recently I've finally learnt to relax and can hold conversations with her. Thank you!

Captain and vice-captain talk about Berryz Kobo's tour and last single

Berryz Kobo autumn 2014 concert tour ~ Professional ~

Commemorating the 10th year anniversary of their début 

Will be opening from the 18th of October!

'It's been 4 years since we had an autumn tour to ourselves. The members of Berryz Kobo were extremely insistent on the particulars of the setlist, repeatedly having discussions on the song selections, time and time again. Captain (Shimizu Saki( and (Tokunaga) Chinami were extremely particular about it, but I guess the most insistent was Momo (Tsugunaga Momoko). However, the feeling that we want to give all of the fans something that's as good as possible, it's something that's shared by the 7 of us.' (Natsuyaki)

Their parting final single will be on sale on the 12th of November!!

'Romance wo Katatte / Towa no Uta'

'"Romance wo Katatte" is a song in the cute camp, something that's unusual for Berryz Kobo. Since we've had a lot of funny songs and cool songs so far. Everyone's smiling in the music video, and you'll be able to see the members being their natural selves.' (Shimizu)

'"Towa no Uta" is an energetic song that can pump up a concert. Since for Berryz Kobo, it's our last single. At the very end, I'd like to capture 1st place.' (Natsuyaki)

{Skoban: Miya... I wish that that last bit comes true (T_T)}

Passpo's Makita Sako on H!P

Attention please! Makita Sako from Passpo did an interview with Dwango. In it, she also touched upon Hello! Pro. Here are some translated extracts.

Makita-san, you're known to be a Hello! wota, right? Berryz Kobo have just made a sudden announcement about their indefinite hiatus。

I understand how amazing it is to have continued for 10 years、 so I'm not surprised。 They've been doing it for 10 years without a break since they were in primary school. It's different from working for 10 years as an adult, isn't it amazing！ It was desired for and decided by the members、 and taking a rest is something that's important。 We've been around for 5 years, so I really understand a lot of things… But、 having worked for 10 years at that age, it's amazing。 They're masters at one thing、 but aren't they at the age where they still have life choices to make? I'm envious。

－ Makita-san, you once declared that you'd like to enter Hello! Project、 but is that still true now？

I'd love to！ But、 I can no longer join them… It's unbearable, this feeling that it's unobtainable, despite my love for them…。 I'm frustrated, like 'Why didn't I get in through a Hello! Pro audition when I was still in primary school?' Hello! Pro is wonderful！
