[iluvatarin]

This is the thread requested for posting of Q&A translations! You can find past ones on the news page of Hello! Online, but I'll post new ones from now on here too as they come out! To start with, here's the question for this week, with the first answers by Juice=Juice and Morning Musume '21

Question: What's your favorite choreography in a Hello! Project song?

Juice=Juice

Kanazawa Tomoko
Jidanda Dance / Juice=Juice
The stamping feet (jidanda) choreography is comical and cute. Doing the dance gets me energized.

Uemura Akari
From "Zenzen Okiagarenai SUNDAY", the lady-like choregraphy where they sit and do a kick is cool.

Inaba Manaka
℃-ute-san's "Dance de Bakoon!"

Inoue Rei
The ferocity of "Are you Happy?"!

Dambara Ruru
℃-ute-san's "DANCE de Bakoon!"
Though there are so many I can't really decide, since it's a song I danced a lot when I was a kenshuusei, it's imprinted in my body!

Kudo Yume
It's "Fiesta! Fiesta!"
I want to become able to dance it well!
I'd also like to try dancing the interlude sometime!

Matsunaga Riai
The choreography from Juice=Juice's "Never Never Surrender".


Morning Musume '21

Fukumura Mizuki
"Suki dana Kimi ga" The cat-chan choreo is cute?

Ikuta Erina
It probably has to be "Ren'ai Hunter"?

Ishida Ayumi
I really like Angerme songs
SHAKA SHAKA TO LOVE, Nakenaize Kyoukan Sagi, Akai Earphone, etc.

Sato Masaki
Fantasy ga Hajimaru!

Oda Sakura
Tsubaki Factory's "Shuukatsu Sensation"
This was the most fun of any choreography I've danced so far!! I love it still now! I want to dance it again!!

Nonaka Miki
"Chokkan 2 ~Nogashita Sakana wa Ookii zo~!" We did it in our 2019 fall tour, and I remember it being fun each time!

Makino Maria
℃-ute-san's "Ooki na Ai de Motenashite"

Haga Akane
"Jama Shinaide Here We Go!"
Though it was difficult, it couildn't be helped and was fun after I learned it!

Kaga Kaede
It's Tsubaki Factory's "Hanamoyou". I like the choreo where the person inside all the flower petals plucks them up!

Yokoyama Reina
"Mukidashi de Mukiatte"
When everyone danced it, I thought it was so cool.

Morito Chisaki
Tokaikko Junjou

Kitagawa Rio
Though it's too difficult to dance, to just watch it would be the B-melody of "Ai no Gundan".

Okamura Homare
Toei Oedo Sen no Roppongi Eki de Dakishimete

Yamazaki Mei
The choreo in "Ningen Kankei No way way" during the interlude where we go "Wa~!" and look like we'll collapse to the back.
It's incredibly fun!!

[iluvatarin]

Don't ask me why only the Anju one popped up for this week!!

Question: What's something you eat when you're feeling hungry?

Angerme

Takeuchi Akari
Kaki peanuts

Kawamura Ayano
Water, apples, and recently tofu bars!
When it's okay to eat sweets, I have animal crackers!

Sasaki Rikako
Giblets with vinegar

Kamikokuryou Moe
Chocolate chip snack bread

Kasahara Momona
Chocolate! Always no matter when, it's chocolate.

Ise Layla
Chocolate or konnyaku jelly

Hashisako Rin
Chiiku kashi

Kawana Rin
Ryukakusan tablets.
Since I end up eating anything when I get hungry, they refresh my mouth and calm me down.

Tamenaga Shion
Boiled egg, seasoned nori, squid, string cheese,
these four are things I often eat when I'm feeling hungry!
But since I love them all and could end up eating them forever, it causes problems...! lol

Matsumoto Wakana
Plum candy, shredded dried squid.
When I start eating one I can't stop.

[boinsie]

Kawana Rin... please eat more than cough drops when you're hungry!!

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Sasaki Rikako
Giblets with vinegar

Rikako is my grandma during childhood Thanksgivings.

Give me Ai→
Ren'ai Hunter (with a beginning like in the INSPIRATION tour)→
Chikyuu ga Naiteiru→
Aishite Aishite ato Ippun (after the end of an interlude)→

"SONGS"
"Mikan"
"HOW DO YOU LIKE JAPAN? ~Nihon wa Donna Kanji dekka?~"
"SEXY BOY ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~"
"Roman ~MY DEAR BOY~"

Ishida Ayumi
"HOW DO YOU LIKE JAPAN? ~Nihon wa Donna Kanji dekka?~"
(Let me do it~!)
"Ren'ai Destiny ~Honne wo Ronjitai~"
(With clapping I think it'd get things super fired up!)
"Utakata Saturday Night!"
(Play the intro as the previous song's outro fades, and push through with unstoppable momentum)
"Kono Mama!"
(Keep it running)
"Aozora ga Itsumademo Tsudzuku you na Mirai de Are!"
(I'd want everyone to wave their hands at an outdoor festival, right~!!!)

Sato Masaki
"Help me!!"
"CHO DAI"
"Narcissus Kamatte-chan Kyousoukyoku Dai 5ban"
"Wagamama Ki no Mama Ai no Joke"

That's it!

Oda Sakura
・ Memory Seisun no Hikari
・ Kousui
・ Tsuugaku Ressha
・ Do it! Now
・ Funwari Koibito Ichinensei
for a R&B medley!!
Otherwise a funky medley would be good too.

2 "What is LOVE?"
3 "I Surrender Ai saredo Ai"
4 "Chokkan 2 ~Nogashita Sakana wa Ookii zo~"

Makino Maria
"Are you Happy?"
"The☆Peace"
"Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~"
"Ren'ai Revolution 21"
"Dokka~n Capriccio"

Haga Akane
Start "Fantasy ga Hajimaru" from the build-up at "Karada ga~ Hajimaru",
then go back to the intro and one chorus.
Next, one chorus of "Give me Ai".
One chorus of "Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii jan".
The second chorus only of "Ai no Gundan".
Then half of "Aishite Aishite Ato Ippun".

Kaga Kaede
1st song Jama Shinaide Here We Go!
2nd song Dokusenyoku
3rd song Sukatto My Heart
4th song Utakata Saturday Night!

4th song: Aozora ga Itsumademo Tsudzuku you na Mirai de Are!
(choreography that everyone can dance)

[Nayoko-Kihara]

[iluvatarin]

Question: If you could do a 5-song medley for a festival, how would you organize it?

Angerme

Takeuchi Akari
"Akai Earphone"
"Manner Mode"
"Nakenai ze... Kyoukan Sagi"
"46okunen LOVE"
"Taiki Bansei"

Kawamura Ayano
"Taiki Bansei"
"Donden Gaeshi"
"Natsu Shogun"
"46okunen LOVE"
"Tomo yo"
I've collected fun songs the audience can dance together with us, even if they're seeing a festival for the first time!!!
I'd want them to jump, pump their fists, wave towels around, and raise their hands in the air a lot!!

Sasaki Rikako
"SONGS"
"Daisuki 100manten"
"Panya-san no Arubaito"
"Watashi no Miryoku ni Kitsukanai Donkan na Hito"
"46okunen LOVE"

Kamikokuryou Moe
"Akai Earphone" →
"Nakenai ze... Kyoukan Sagi" →
"Manner Mode" →
"Natsu Shogun" →
"Taiki Bansei"
I wanna do a festival~!!!![/url]

Kasahara Momona
1 "Nakenai ze... Kyoukan Sagi"
Since if it's a festival I'd want to seize the hearts of lots of different people, starting by walking at first I'd deliver that cool atmosphere!
2 "Manner Mode"
Here an energy that just bursts out!
3 "Akai Earphone"
Here a number showing a snappy dance
4 "46okunen LOVE"
A one-time cheerful atmosphere overflowing with euphoria!
5 "Desugita Kui wa Utarenai"
Since it's a festival it'd have to be this rock song. In the end everyone would do a circle formation, and having that kind of bang to finish would be the best!

Ise Layla
"Taiki Bansei"
"Tsugitsugi Zokuzoku"
"Akai Earphone"
"Jinsei, Sunawachi Panta Rhei"
"Natsu Shogun"

Hashisako Rin
"Desugita Kui wa Utarenai"
"Nanakorobi Yaoki"
"Tade Kuu Mushi mo Like it!"
"Natsu Shogun"
"Tomo yo"

Kawana Rin
"Tsugitsugi Zokuzoku" →
"Nakenai ze... Kyoukan Sagi" →
"Koi wa Accha Accha" →
"Manner Mode" →
"Taiki Bansei"
That's it. I chose 5 songs that are easy to get into!

Tamenaga Shion
"Akai Earphone" →
"Watashi, Choito Kawaii Urabanchou" →
"Taiki Bansei" →
"46okunen LOVE" →
"Tomo yo"
I generally wanted to organize a hot, energetic medley, so chose these 5 songs!
Though I feel like our endurance would be sapped with just the medley, it'd definitely be fun!!!

Matsumoto Wakana
"HOW DO YOU LIKE JAPAN? ~Nihon wa Donna Kanji Dekka?~"
"Natsu Shogun"
"Fiesta! Fiesta!"
"Shabondama"
"Tomo yo"
