MC REPORTS

MC 1 ー Makino, Yokoyama & Inoue, Yumigeta as the center

① Best memories of their first summer tour

Yumigeta : when she went to see Morning Musume。concert (before being a member herself), the members were about the size of a bean, but she felt that they were surprisingly close when they were on stage. Today, being able to be on the other side, therefore being on stage, she realizes that the stages are extremely wide and would like to see each of the faces. She waved her hand looking at everyone in the audience. 

Inoue : "Although the venue was a bit dark and spacious, she thought she could surprisingly see the faces of each people in the audience."

Yokoyama : "You can see how dressed people like to come to our concert~"

Makino : "You can also see some faces, who are smiling, just like us!"

Yokoyama : "Ah, you look so cute right now"

② Both 17ki's enthusiasm for the fall tour

Yumigeta : "I feel like everyone has high expectations for both of us, but I hope I can live up to their expectations or fat exceed them."

Inoue : "After all, I want to do my best to keep a good health. I want to eat well, sleep well, in order to practice well, and do my best on the tour until the end."

MC 2 ー Members favorite song from the Best Selection Album

Ikuta : "Roman ~MY DEAR BOY~"

It’s a song that got the members excited and the fans excited as well during stage performances, so she was happy that they were able to make a re-recording of it, especially when she got many singing parts.

Fukumura : "Nanzashou Sozanchou"

Haga said that she was moved when Fukumura-san was able to announce the "Nanzashou Sozanchou" performance at the Ikebukuro Sunshine event. She had the chance to attend Mizuki's recording for that song, and when she sang one of her solo lines (“machibooke”), she stared at the sensei and said “wait a minute, this one was too cute for me!!!”. The sensei answered “ok, so we go with that take 2”, so technically, it’s Akane who has selectionned that solo line in the final studio version. 

Ishida : "Who are you!?"

Ikuta : "Come to Eri’s recording as well~"

At this moment, Oda started to say something to answer Erina, but Erina kept saying to her to not continue her statement because she was too nervous about it, even though Oda said "No, it’s something positive!" (so we don’t know what it was).

MC 3 ー Members feelings about the final concert of the summer tour

Ishida did her final MC with a feeling of sadness, thinking that this would be the last time she would perform the current medley.

Sakurai : "As Ishida-san said earlier, we've been touring with medleys for half a year, and although there were some songs we hadn't done before, we've continued to tour with the hope that we'll be able to perform them again in the future". She finished by "SayonaRairi~" to the songs from the 25th anniversary medley that she won’t perform soon. Other members pointed out "Isn't it a bit sad?" and after Sakurai said "See you in autumn" everyone said "SayonaRairi~"

Haga : "I felt sad because the setlist we've been doing for half a year was the last, and I think some of those songs were the last time I’d perform alongside Fukumura-san, so I was singing to cherish each song one by one. One of my favorite songs to perform, which is “Oh my wish!”, is a song in which I’ve got many duet parts with Fukumura-san, so at first, I was kind of nervous. But I learned to enjoy this performance concert after concert. When I rewatched the concert recording, I thought I wouldn't be able to sing such a good part, but I was glad that I was able to sing along with the reassurance that Fukumura-san had there."

Fukumura : "Before we started today, Akane-chin came to see me and told me that it would be "one of the last times with Fukumura-san" on this and that… and I couldn't help but realize it. This tour was a very important tour for me, as I was able to see my kohai trying to improve on their hard work in the spring and the summer. The memories are endless, but I wish I could give courage and energy back to the many people who cheered me on at every venue."
