All members by height…

About Yamazaki Yuhane's mother.

Yuha’s mother apparently auditioned for MM in the past
This would have been the same audition that saw Gomaki get in
Since it’s awkward, Yuha’s never pressed her mother for details though

On Morning Musume. '21's Houkago meeting radio show, Kaga asked how tall Okamura Homare is now. Homare says she is around 165.2cm (5'4).

Kaede: "You've grown taller, how tall are you now?"
Homare: "About 165.2."
Kaede: "I think you're taller than Makino-san?"
Homare: "About the same, but I'm still growing."

Maybe I'm the only one, but I always thought that the expression "Be Up and Doing!" in Mr. Moonlight ~ Ai No Big Band was just some typical Tsunklish mangling of the English language. Then I heard someone use it on TV. It turns out that it's from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, A Psalm of Life, in which one verse reads:

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Going further back still, in his 1755 "Poor Richard's Almanack," Ben Franklin wrote a variation of the phrase, “The Day is short, the Work great, the Workman lazy, the Wages high, the Master urgeth; Up, then, and be doing.”

It seems that once upon a time people used that expression "Be up and doing" in the way that we might say "let's get to work!"

As for "The Future Is Mine," that possibly comes from Nicola Tesla, who it seems, famously said: "The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine." The dependent clause is sometimes omitted in the retelling.

Knowing Tsunku, I'm surprised the "doing" phrase isn't tucked away in a Beatles song somewhere.

Remember how the Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game costumes were clearly lifted from a Christian Dior design? So do I, but the internet has forgotten and I can't seem to find an image of the original dress. Does anyone have this saved somewhere in their well-organized archives?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it!

When you said "well-organized" I was immediately disqualified but I'm glad your google-fu was up to the task!
