Morning Musume needs a new Wintery / Christmas song

[Shoujo Q]

I’ve been wanted Morning Musume to release a Christmas song for years. It’s my biggest H!P wish.

Hello! Station #355

42:22~ ANGERME "Tomo yo" performance（12.9 Budokan）

I didn't particularly feel one way or another when this song was first released, but after reading a translation, it's really a perfect send-off song.

"Ano Koro." official movie poster. BEYOOOOONDS Yamazaki Yuhane's name is on the poster, but no picture of her as Matsuura Aya. Just the actors as dedicated Hello Pro Wota.

I know it will be a long while before concerts come back to normal
But for some reason I feel like wanting to see Homatan perform Sakura Mankai, perhaps with Maa, Reina and Maria as a small unit group.

I haven't seen anyone else mention this. I just noticed it myself. But, um…

Maachan got blonde underlayers, like Yokoyan.

It's difficult to notice because she's been wearing her hair either down or pulled back for most of this release cycle. Nothing that really shows off the blonde. But you can see it when she turns her head to the side, which she does a lot in this appearance.

EDIT: Apparently I jinxed it. Sorry.

Kuroki-sensei with a video message

tweet

Today on Hello! Station @18:40, a notice confirms that the "Kyosuzu" restaurant Kuroki-sensei works at, is closing on 12/28.

Will they find a way to keep Hello! Kitchen going somehow with Kuroki-sensei?

Chef Kuroki at Kyosuzu

The reason why Chef Kuroki is so popular with the Hello wota is because of his good personality and the way he works hard to teach the Hello members, many of whom are troubled with cooking, has won the sympathy of his fans.

I'm really sad that I won't be able to see Kuroki at this point

Fukumura Mizuki

Test results

I'm sorry to report this.
Yokoyama Reina and Fukumura Mizuki tested negative for both PCR and antigen.

We had to cancel yesterday's event.
We apologize for the inconvenience and worry.

Both of us will continue to stay at home.

My health is exactly the same, I'm fine!

I've been taking good precautions against infection at the concert hall, on the road, and at home, but I strongly believe that we have to take precautions and act accordingly, thinking that you might be infected without even realizing it.

The end of the year and the beginning of the new year is a time of many events, isn't it?

I want everyone to stay healthy.
Please take care of yourself.

Yokoyama Reina

To everyone

Good evening.
I have received many messages of concern from everyone. Thank you very much.

Both of the PCR tests and antigen tests were negative for Fukumura Mizuki-san and myself.

I'm sorry that I missed the events yesterday.
I'm really sorry to all of you who were looking forward to it.

Although I tested negative, I am still staying at home.

To be honest, I am very frustrated that I have to miss the year-end events and work.

I will report on the future activities of Fukumura-san and I at a later date, as soon as possible.

As for myself, I'm trying to take all the necessary precautions against corona.
I will continue and be even more careful in the future.

I'm feeling fine! My body is very healthy!

Please take great care of yourself.
