Release Day Promotion event

Morning Musume. '23 Mini Live and Send-off event @ Shinagawa Intercity Hall (Tokyo) 10.25.23

The staff said that this was the only time they could do the release event because of the lack of available venues.

The staff warned the audience to be careful of the people standing next to them and asked the people in the back not to run around, and the audience laughed. LOL

After the introduction, the main event started.

The pink jacket of "Suggoi FEVER!" appeared on stage while "overture" was playing.

1. Wake-up Call~Mezameru Toki~
2. HEAVY GATE
MC Intro :
~ Ayumi said "Thank you for coming to the event to celebrate the release of "Nanajuu-third" single today.
At first, all the members gave him a hard time.
~ Ayumi says it has been a long time since they held a release event like this.
Ayumi : "Everyone is packed in here"
Mizuki : "It's like a crowded train."
~ Inoue talking about the new single "Suggoi FEVER!"
"The lyrics are not only fun and groovy, but the lyrics are also very deep.
She said that it would be fun to dance the chorus with the audience, so please pay attention to that as well."
~ Yumigeta on "Wake-up Call"
"When I first heard the song, it was so fast that I was left wondering what kind of song it was, but as I listened to it, I realized there were rap parts and fakes, and I could enjoy it no matter how many times I listened to it."
~ Fukumura about "Neverending Shine"
"I was happy to be able to perform with everyone. I had heard that I was going to sing alone at first and was wondering how I was going to sing it, but then I learned that we were going to sing 'NANANA' together."
~ Ayumi said it was the first time to sing in front of fans in the pink outfits.

3. Suggoi FEVER!
4. Nanzansho Souzansho

MC Talk : Haga will lead the talk topic about the title of the new song :
- "What do you want your Neverending to be?"
~ Sakurai loves to pick out clothes, and she loves to wake up in the morning and think about what to wear, so she answered that she hopes that will continue for a long time.
~ Sakurai "Today I wore an orange top and a long skirt with a full pattern. Then I put on this bright pink ribbon and it looked amazing."
Ikuta "It looked like something out of movie from India" LOL
~ Yamazaki said that she and Matsumoto Wakana went to see the pandas at the Ueno Zoo the other day.
Yamazaki said that since she was a fan of Wakana and a fan of the pandas, she was able to see them both at the same time, and that they were so cute that she took a video and wished it could go on forever.
~ Ikuta responded that she likes sleeping more now that she has more time off. She just hates being woken up by the alarm, and although it was late today, she hopes that the time without the alarm will continue.
- Next is the talk topic "Moment that made me feel "Suggoi FEVER"
~ Homare was on the Hello-Tsu gaming session yesterday, and we had that huge FEVER feeling, "Didn't you?" she confirmed to the audience. She got excited and said that it was nighttime and she and Mei were really excited.
~ Yokoyama decided to use the same hair color as in the music video for today's show, so she chose black hair! The audience cheered when he appealed "I've changed my hair color to black!"
She explained that her hair color had been bluish pink, but she changed it to black for the music video, and it started to fall out, so she dyed it because she could meet everyone today and it was the release day. Yokoyama was embarrassed when Haga praised her for pursuing more cuteness.
~ Kitagawa "I can now ride a bicycle!"
Otaku "Oooooh!"
Haga "Now? How many years have you been alive?"
There are LUUPs (e-scooter), which are all the rage these days, but in addition to kickboards, there are also bicycles, and when I was walking with a friend, she asked me if I wanted to ride one. She replied that it was okay because she couldn't say she couldn't ride it even if she couldn't.
She had decided not to use a bicycle after practicing at the age of 3 with auxiliary wheels, but she was able to ride it even though it took her about 10 minutes to do so.
~ Nonaka said that she had a FEVER moment when she got too excited and regretted it. She said that she had a moment when she was having so much fun with music at the Ehime concert last weekend that she couldn't stop talking and the director had to issue a warning. When she went back to his dressing room, she couldn't stop talking, and when she told Ayumi about it, she was told "you already told me about it" and realized that she had already told Rairi about it too.
~ Next, they will announce the results of the "Ranking of the person you would like to be woken up by" in connection with "Wake-up Call"
14 members voted and the winner with 5 votes was... Inoue Haruka!
Inoue "I thought someone with a loud voice would be chosen.
Haga "So you want to be healed."
Kitagawa raises her hand straight away
Haga "Why did you raise your hand?"
Kitagawa "I wanted to be woken up her."
Ikuta "I have to ask what Haru-san wants too."
Inoue gave the OK and Kitagawa moved to her side.
Kitagawa "I can't stop grinning anymore".
Inoue "If you don't get up soon, Haru will get angry~"
After she finished, Kitagawa hugged Inoue with a big smile on her face.
The other members immediately said "It's time!" and pulled her off.

5. Neverending Shine
