Too Much Idea

hina said her fans has been calling themselves "ひなまる隊 (hinamaru-tai / hinamaru gang)" and refer to hina as "team leader" matsu: there is one question that i wanted to ask hinamaru. after a concert, you were standing next to me, and then you said, "matsuda-san, please rely on me!". that was you, right? hina: eek yeah that's probably me matsu: right!? matsu: the concert that day was inoue rina's grad ceremony day, and inoue said something along the lines of, "everyone, please take care of maachan". perhaps because of that, hinamaru and about three other members came to me and said, "please rely on us!". it made me so happy! matsu: i was like, "they are so dependable" hina: after that when we got home, we wondered if we sounded too arrogant matsu: hshs not at all!! it made me so happy! hina: 4ki still... have a lot of homework, but we'd be happy if you could rely on us as well matsu: i will then! hina said she had ...

 ito: i like to check the weather forecast before bed and in the morning after waking up, and if it hits 50% i always take care to bring umbrella [check again]. but today we have two members who will not bring one even when it says 100% odkr: the point is making sure that we carry light airi: so true itoha: ??? i don't get it?? but speaking of which, 4ki members has a lot of ame onna. it often rains when they are filming for an MV odkr: i see. meanwhile 3ki has a lot of hare onna ito: yep. 4ki live was held the other day, and it was raining hard, or rather-- they even brought a typhoon! such amazing power. and we all went to watch 4ki live, didn't we? how was it? odkr: what i like the most was udagawa, wasn't that awesome? it was so fun, it was so entertaining. you knew that they made a lot of preparation in order to make people smile, and seeing it myself made me want to praise them for their hard work airi: overall, it has such a show-like vibe, which i really liked. pers...

mio's riko's [tmi note: rough translation, i did not translate everything] MIO'S Q What do you keep in mind in the performance aspect? Mio: I’ve been selected to be a front member in “What’s KAZOKU”, and as there are many scene of highlights from the start, so I made sure to properly show cheerfulness from the beginning. For “Lonesome rabbit”, no one is in a symmetrical position to me, and there are parts where my choreography is the only one different, so I hope to play a role that brings the performance together. Q Since it’s a song that all 2ki and 3ki participates in, could you tell us what you felt or what you learned from once again working with the 2nd generation members? Mio: Until now, when I am working with the seniors, the songs are mostly cool one. We rarely get to do a playful song, so it feels so refreshing and fun. I got to see sides of my seniors that I never seen before, so it was a very fulfilling moment! Q And 2ki member Masumoto Kira-san will be graduati...

toyama: so before the kougen (in 4ki live), didn't you cry a bit...? konomin: ah, this feels embarrassing... but yeah, that happened... Toyama: what were you feeling that the time? konomin: i'm the center of the song, and there are parts of the lyrics that i can sympathize with, it's like... there was another me who is not an idol there. that moment was... it's difficult to express, but i can be free? like, i can express what i feel within, and suddenly... it started flowing. it wasn't something that i planned. on d1 i teared up a bit, and the stage director also pointed it out with "that's amazing". but yeah it wasn't something that i planned, but with how the stage production went, i suppose it ended up being something impressive sarina: and you are just in your first year, right? first year is when one is still overwhelmed by everything, such as your position in the songs or thinking on what song is to perform next, so to be able to immerse your...

theme is usagi neko acting as angel and demon reacting to listeners mail, with itoha deciding whose opinion she agrees with shizu: before we start, may i say something? at the opening talk, you said that there is a huge expectation for this episode, i could feel it too... but if this episode ended up being a flop, i will think of it as caused by boring mails sent by the listeners yu: but of course! we are thankful that you sent those mails to us! mail sender apologizing for pulling prank on their uni friend, by deliberately messing password and locking the friend out of their phone whenever the friend takes a nap in class angel yu: as long as you apologize for it already, everything is all right demon shizu: once is funny, twice is boring. once might indeed be funny to see how they would react, but doing it so many times is just being annoying angel yu: can't they reflect on it now? demon shizu: if they are reflecting on it already, then no need to bring police into this angel yu: ...

 Source TMI Note: I skipped Lonesome rabbit part (Because it's similar to what members talked about in other interview before) and summarized a few questions. --- Q About What’s Kazoku Taniguchi: It’s the next 2nd-3rd gen following “Addiction”, and as the 4th generation joined last year, we put even more heart into this song while getting inspired by the senior members. Kira: Filming for MV can be difficult at times, but when I look back at the completed work later, the time I spent with the members in-between takes would often make for fun memories. It’s rare for us to be able to film with such a large group, and the more members there are the more fun it becomes, so I was happy to have been able to film with all 2nd-3rd gen members. Q Riko-centered “Coin Laundry” Kira: Riko-chan is truly a hardworker, she always checks her choreography while looking at the mirror, she still practices even when told it’s okay for her to take a break. Seeing that, the 4th generation members also pr...
