I think, but I'm not sure, that it's Konno announcing. Especially over the last year, her announcer's voice has become unrecognizable…

[DARC1993]

THIS SOUNDS REALLY AWESOME!

[Echidna]

^^ it's really sounds like Konno voice! now I want her to interview Momusu for NeoSports or smth, I'd love to see SayuKon

Countdown to when Morning Musume sells a million copies for a single.

I say within the next year or two.

Small correction here. The official JOC t-shirt's flame spells "NIPPON".
This version that Sayu is showing is Morning Musume version. The flame spells "MORNING".
I think this is so COOL I want one!
Checkout the official website to see the flames for the other atheles.

an example of someone who used the new app by shouting out RihoRiho's name on their phone, and it appeared as a flame character.
