Morning Musume. '21 confesses the senior members they admire in "MUSIC BLOOD" and Sato Masaki makes her last appearance as a member.On the 24th, the idol group Morning Musume. '21 appeared on Nippon Television's "MUSIC BLOOD" (every Friday at 11:00 p.m.). Fourteen members including Sato Masaki, who graduated from the group on the 13th of this month, participated in the recording.
As it was Christmas Eve, the broadcast started with a "Merry Christmas" greeting. As the group has been together for 24 years, they were asked about their interaction with their predecessors. 9th gen member and 9th generation leader, Fukumura Mizuki said, "Whenever a new song is released, I tell all the predecessors who know my contact information. Ishida Ayumi, a member of the 10th gen, said about Nakazawa Yuki, the first leader of the group, "People say she's scary, but she's very kind and loving."
Regarding the appeal of Morning Musume, 12th gen member Makino Maria said, "I think the appeal of Morning Musume is its history, which no other idol has." "We are where we are today because of what our seniors have done for us, so I want to do my best not to tarnish the group's name," she said humbly. Yokoyama Reina of the 13th gen said, "I think our strength is our coolness. The music by Tsunku and our singing and dancing are as good as any other group."
In response to the question, "Who do you admire the most and why did you join the group?"
It was Takahashi Ai (5th gen/6th gen leader) who got the most votes. Oda Sakura of the 11th gen said, "I think Takahashi-san created the image of Morning Musume = KireKire sharp performance", and Kitagawa Rio of the 15th gen agreed, "Their live performances are really cool. I'm impressed by their masculinity."
The coolness of Takahashi extends beyond the stage, with Fukumura saying, "She's very kind and sympathetic to people's feelings," and Ikuta saying, "I'm not a good singer, but she would ask me, 'How was my singing today?' And she always come to our concerts even after they graduate," she said happily.
The second place with the most votes went to Michishige Sayumi (6th gen/8th gen leader).
Ishida said, "She used to use her sharp tongue in variety shows, but it was all for the purpose of letting the public know about Morning Musume."
"She has such a strong 'love for Morning'," said Makino, "I'll always admire her, and Michishige was so cool at her graduation live in 2014."
The third place with the most votes went to Sayashi Riho (9th gen).
Morito Chisaki (14th gen) said "Up until then, idols were all about glitter and cuteness, but Sayashi-san was a very good dancer." "I decided to audition after seeing Sayashi-san."
And Kaga Kaede (13th gen) praised her, saying, "She's an idol, but she sings and dances so well, she's like an artist."
Nonaka Miki (12th gen) said, "Their performance at the concert tour in the Fall of 2014 was amazing. I can't believe she was 16 at the time!" she said in great praise.
The youngest member, 16-year-old Yamazaki Mei (15th gen), said, "I auditioned because I admired Sato Masaki (10th gen)," to which Sato replied, "My heart is pounding" (laughs). I'll be careful not to get too much praise and become a tengu."
Okamura Homare (15th gen) pointed to Oda Sakura, saying, "She is just so expressive. She's still sparkling today." Speaking of her admiration, Oda said, "I realize that I've become someone that younger people admire."
The song they are performing will be Sato Masaki's last appearance on the program as Morning Musume.
Chiba (MC), who is usually in charge of the songwriting, asked her to "please sing with the feelings of a teenager", to which Sato replied, "Sine, cosine, mentaiko! "Teenage Solution"! The studio was filled with laughter.
In the studio live, they performed a special dance medley of "Renai Revolution 21 (updated)" and "What is LOVE?" in a set of Christmas colors based on green, red and white. They also performed their new song "Teenage Solution".https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2219087/full/https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20211224-2238108/photo gallery
