Question: Please tell us something that's all too familiar within Hello! Pro.

Angerme

Everyone please say it （ ; ; ） I'm a gal who just wants that said to her lol

Occasionally privately as well when riding a bus I get to feeling like I'll say it by myself lol

Hashisako Rin
Tending to have shiny hair

Kawana Rin
Since the sound source we use for speaking practice varies depending on the group, I think you can tell which group is in the same place as you by which sounds you can hear!

Tamenaga Shion
Since we say "Please take care of me" to the driver-san of the cars we ride when traveling, it feels like we'll say "Please take care of me" when riding the bullet train also!!
Though this is all too familiar for me, I bet there are Hello! Pro members who would empathize with it!

Matsumoto Wakana
If we drop an accessory, we pick it up and place it near the speaker.

Question: Please tell us something that's all too familiar within Hello! Pro.

Ocha Norma

Saito Madoka
Using "honorific language" + "-san" to senpai even if they're younger than you!
I was 16 when I joined the Hello! Pro Kenshuusei, but since I had the least Kenshuusei experience despite being the oldest in terms of age, I was using "honorific language" + "-san" to my younger senpai! (I use it even now.)

Hiromoto Ruli
Tending to count out 16-beat

Ishiguri Kanami
The senpai take their bentos first.
When during the Corona disaster our meals were all bentos since there wasn't any catering, it was like "Senpai first!".

Yonemura Kirara
When traveling by car we all say "Please take care of me!" together, and so for example when we're riding a public bus also and it starts to leave, we say "Please take care of me!" in a loud voice.

Kubota Nanami
The rhythm sense of the fans is top notch!
Although everyone's calls are so difficult, they say the calls smoothly and right on rhythm, so it makes me think everyone is so amazing!

The senpai take the first bentos!
Though this is familiar as something we often hear about, since there are no senpai or kouhai in OCHA NORMA, everyone points at or does janken for the bentos they like and want to eat!
Since there are so many girls in OCHA NORMA who love to eat, everyone gets so excited when it's time to choose our bentos lol
