Fukumura Mizuki
Raspberry

Morito Chisaki
Cabbage
I feel like I eat too much of it and will at any time just become a cabbage.

Kitagawa Rio
Tomato I guess

Okamura Homare
Cucumber
I was told that in middle school.

Yamazaki Mei
Peach
If you turn me upside down I'd be a heart!
It'd be like, "Heart = Love (愛)" → "Love is born (生) = 愛生 (Mei)"!!

[JonCC]

Yamazaki Mei

Peach
If you turn me upside down I'd be a heart!
It'd be like, "Heart = Love (愛)" → "Love is born (生) = 愛生 (Mei)"!!

This is the only correct answer.
The most 'idol' answer of the bunch at any rate.

Question: If you were a vegetable or fruit, what would you be?

Angerme

Takeuchi Akari
Salmon roe

Kawamura Ayano
Star fruit
Star-shaped and glittering!

Sasaki Rikako
Pineapple

Kamikokuryou Moe
Mini tomato

Ise Layla
As a vegetable, I'm like a carrot.
As a fruit, I'm like a mandarin.

Hashisako Rin
It's a cherry.
Since it was my symbol in kindergarten, and it's a fruit I love,
and I think also cause of how it appears red and small.

Kawana Rin
I think it's a turnip.
It's a vegetable like with not much flavor, and occasionally you just happen to notice it's there!

Tamenaga Shion
It's mandarin!
Since it has the image of something you'd eat while just relaxing and taking it easy,
I thought it'd be a perfect fruit for my my-pace self! lol

Matsumoto Wakana
Mini tomato

Hirayama Yuki
It's an apple!
Apples are hard at first, right? And since I'm shy,
at first I'm prone to giving fairly short responses。。
Like a crushed apple (lol) Also, when you make it into concentrated jam
it becomes really sweet right, and me when I really really trust someone I start acting affectionate toward them,
making me like an attention-seeker, so since I think I have a similar sweet side like that also, I think I'd be an apple! By the way, I generally like all fruits and vegetables (lol)

[Celedam]

Takeuchi Akari
Salmon roe

Wait, what?

Ocha Norma's first Q&A!

Question: Tell us what you had for lunch today!

Ocha Norma

Sato Madoka
It was katsu-don! Mom made it for me.

Hiromoto Ruli
A bento my mother made for me!!
Inside it is straw-wrapped salmon, spinach with sesame sauce,
candied yams, chopped burdock with sugar and soy sauce, fried egg, and a mandarin.

Ishiguri Kanami
I ate miso ramen and apple pie!
As topping for the ramen, I had my favorite "butter" and "corn" (^ - ^)
The apple pie my mom made when I went back home!
She made it with apples sent from our relatives in Yamagata~!!
Since everyone in the family loves apple pie, it was a scramble to snag some lol

Yonemura Kirara
Fried prawns!!!
Since I hadn't had them for a while, they were incredibly delicious.

Kubota Nanami
It's yakisoba and broccoli.
Since I went home early to return a test today,
after I got back I looked through the fridge and made "yakisoba" for myself!!
Since broccoli has gotten plump recently, I thought I'd also have it to add a bit of vegetable, and there's always some of it to eat in the fridge.

Tashiro Sumire
Vegetable soup and pizza!
I like margherita pizza the best.
As for the vegetable soup, it has lots of different veggies in it
since mom made it while thinking about nutrition.

Nakayama Natsume
Salad
There's a specialty salad shop in front of the station, and by the time I noticed it, there was a long line.
It's a wonderful shop where you can choose your own favorite things to put in it, so I feel like I'll become a regular customer.
Since it seems recently there are unique salads with stuff you can add to a fruit salad, I'd like to try it. I generally love basil.

Onigiri
I got it from a member.
Since it was red pepper mentaiko, it made me incredibly hyper.

Nishizaki Miku
Today's lunch is miso stewed udon, and candied yams!
I split both with my mother!! lol

Kitahara Momo
Stir-fried sweet and spicy wakame rice, oden, sweet and salty fried burdock
It's the school lunch menu.
Though I never usually eat a lot, the chikuwa fishcake in the oden was delicious, so I got seconds.

Tsutsui Roko
Bento (hamburger ・ pork miso soup ・ salad)
I always start by eating the veggies,
and my favorite corn was in it so it was incredibly delicious.

[iluvatarin]

Not a lot of Ocha fans around here eh?

Question: If you participated in a culture festival, what kind of stall/program would you want to do?

Ocha Norma

Sato Madoka
A crepe shop!
Since I couldn't do any food-selling when I was in high schoold, I'd like to try it.
Since everyone would also be doing idol group dance covers together,
I'd like to try that too!

Hiromoto Ruli
If it was a stall, a cafe with a stylish look taking like trees or grass as a theme, where you could order like drinks and desserts.
If it was a program, I'd prepare several songs and have the customers do a roulette, where I'd then do a dance cover of whichever song came up.

Ishiguri Kanami
・Fukuwarai
At my elementary school's fun fest (which is like a culture festival prepared by our parents and guardians), I did fukuwarai for the first time and it was so much fun,
so I want to do a fun fukuwarai that people of any age could enjoy!
It's a point I recommend for a simple way to get people fired up ☆

・ Eating contest
Though it'd be just like a reward for me!!
You can't go without this!!
I'd be happy if I could endlessly keep eating frozen broccoli ♡

Yonemura Kirara
I'd like to try doing a maid cafe.
It's just cause I want to be a maid-san!!
I'd take pictures with everyone, and become friends with everyone who came to the booth.

Kubota Nanami
A haunted house.
Before I entered the high school where I am now, in my third middle school year, we went on a tour of culture festivals and I thought "Haunted houses that high school students make are surely ones even a scaredy-cat such as me can go through!"
but when I went in I got super scared and became even paralyzed to tears.
It was such an awesome haunted house that I was so scared stiff I couldn't move forward and started annoying people behind me, so I thought if next time I could try producing the scares myself, I'd want to scare everyone else to give them the same experience I had.

Tashiro Sumire
I'd want to make like a retro coffeehouse cafe where both the food and drink is delicious. I'd want to make it cute enough you'd want to take photos of things like cream melon soda, or pudding ala mode, or omurice.

Nakayama Natsume
A beef tendon stew shop
I really love beef tendon stew, so I always make sure to buy it at festivals.
But I've never seen it at a culture festival stall.
So I'd like to open one, and make it the most popular shop.

A yakitori skewered chicken shop
I'd like to fry a ton of cartilage to sell.
Since I especially love crushed cartilage, I'd want to sell it and convey to everyone how delicious it is.

Nishizaki Miku
Since I've never done a culture festival with stalls or anything,
I'd like to do various really cliché things~.
For example, make a haunted house from scratch to try scaring people,
or open a cafe to make delicious things that I could eat myself too、、lol
As for a program, I'd want to hold an extremely energetic live where I dance with everyone!!
Since I really do love to sing, I'd want to gather together songs I like and hold an original Nishizaki Miku live!

Kitahara Momo
A crossdressing cafe
Since I'm the tallest in the group, and my voice is low,
and I think my face looks masculine, I'd wear a cool suit
and a blonde wig, and try crossdressing as a man.
I'd want to smartly serve customers along with the shop attendants,
and have a fun time chatting together with the customers.

Tsutsui Roko
A takoyaki shop
Since I want to play Russian roulette spinning the takoyaki around with everyone.

Not a lot of Ocha fans around here eh?

Question: If you were a vegetable or fruit, what would you be?

Ocha Norma

Sato Madoka
Mandarin!
Since they're usually harvested in the middle of October,
I thought it was perfect for me who was born in October!
Also, since I want to deliver vitamins to everyone!

Hiromoto Ruli
It's a grapefruit!!
With its juiciness and sweet and sourness it can charge you up with energy,
so I want to become a person who's like a grapefruit!!

Ishiguri Kanami
Tomato
Since I love tomatoes too much, and I've eaten over 20 of them in a school lunch in middle school,
I thought I probably already am a tomato.

Yonemura Kirara
It's watermelon.
Since it's crisp and crunchy lol

Kubota Nanami
It's a cherry!
Since cherries look like they're very cute and sweet, and I also am very cute on the outside and sweet and sugary on the inside, I thought I'd be a cherry, right?!!
By the way, if I were a vegetable it'd probably be paprika! Since paprika has a cute color!

Tashiro Sumire
Mini tomato
Since I look small like a mini tomato. lol

Nakayama Natsume
Pineapple
I often spend my days wearing a ponytail to go perform, and when I put my bangs or short hair into a ponytail, it ends up sticking up like a pineapple,
so I'm often told by the members and my friends "Nachu, you're a pineapple today huh".
By the way, it's my fifth favorite fruit!

Nishizaki Miku
It's a potato.
Since potatoes grow quickly in the ground!
Since I love to sleep, it's not like I'm growing in the ground like a potato,
but I do get bigger while inside my futon lol

Kitahara Momo
Manganji chili pepper
It's a large chili pepper that can grow as long as 15cm.
At first glance it looks spicy, but along with the spiciness it has a soft sweetness.
Though I tend to be seen as serious and intense to a fault,
since I'm sweet inside, I'm the same as a manganji chili pepper!

Tsutsui Roko
Apple
Since I'm always crisp (as far as I think),
and my personality is spoiled and sweet like an apple.

[iluvatarin]

Question: A new national holiday is being added! What holiday would you make?

Angerme

Takeuchi Akari
Exhaustion Recovery Day

Kawamura Ayano
A day when everyone in the country can rest!!
It's a day where resting is mandatory!

Sasaki Rikako
A holiday for Christmas, and Exhaustion Recovery Day

Kamikokuryou Moe
Make Christmas a day to relax

Ise Layla
A day where everyone has to rest!!
You can't leave your house!
Since I thought I'd like to see one time what it looks like outside with nobody around.

Hashisako Rin
Pet Day.
A day to relax with your pets.

Kawana Rin
Amusement Day!
It'd be a day when if most people could just relax, they could draw or make something inside, so I think it'd help improve the moods of people who work!

Tamenaga Shion
"Angerme Day"
It's a day to listen to lots of Angerme songs, and learn about Angerme's history!
It's a holiday I'd make with the hope that lots of different people would come to know the allure of Angerme!

Matsumoto Wakana
Middle Schooler Day

Hirayama Yuki
Indoor Day!
I pretty much spend all my time in the house on days off,
but I think there are a lot of people who spend holidays by going out to play too.
Since I think it's also important to spend some time relaxing at home, and during these times I think it's more comforting to stay indoors, I'd like to try making one day where you can relax at home in order to get used to it!

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I can get behind most of these choices.
