"Morning Musume's reputation is heavy.
But,
I've decided I'll make it even heavier.
Ikuta Erina. I'm the current Morning Musume."

[Yattaruchan]

Ah thanks.

Poor Ayumi (no pun intended, maybe).

[Chibs]

Eripon pwns!!!

Out and about in Tokyo…

The instrumentals are terrific. So many little things you don't notice when listening to the regular tracks.

Loving the b-sides.

Where did the whole Ayumi is poor thing come from? People have obviously been joking about it for a while, but have always been curious.

And I can't help but think of Makoto when I think of 'poor' characters.

2ch started with the bread rack thing in her house when they did that audition announcement. It's for production, but the small version, the kind a home bakery would use, and they begin to wonder if her family runs a small bakery in their house, which probably means they couldn't afford a dedicated space for it, that it's probably her mother's job, the father's income isn't enough and that could mean they weren't live on easy street.
Snowball. Her short body (suspected nutrition deficient) , her clothing (multiple use, fashion taste, etc), her late smartphone adoption, the phone she chose (a last year model android instead of a new iPhone), etc.

You know what ... with this I think she is qualified to be the best housewife of all MM members past and present.

Twitter reports just now say that the 4 floors are "dangerously crowded" and there are many cute girls cosplaying Ai no Gundan.
