ワ: One・Two・Three

syllable with the most a-sides: tied between ア (a) and オ (o) with 5 songs.
second place: tied between コ (ko/go) and サ (sa/za) with 4 songs.. though if we don't count the word "the" then it would be マ (ma) instead of sa/za.

column with the most a-sides: ア column (a/i/u/e/o) with 12 songs. makes sense cuz syllables are used a lot in every language.
second place: サ column (sa/sha/shi/shu/she/sho/ja/ji/ju/je/jo/su/se/so) with 10 songs. though if we don't count the word "the", then the マ column (ma/mi/mya/myu/myo/mu/me/mo) with 9 songs.

personally i would count "the"s because they're not common enough in Japanese to make an exception the way we to with alphabetizing American titles.

[Starra]

I was going to do that, but I got lazy and decided that figuring it out using the English alphabet was much simpler .

[Pavlova]

i mean, you're short by western standards (i am too at 157cm), but what makes Japanese girls and Japanese idols in particular seem so tiny is not just their height.. everything about them is smaller than what we're used to. their faces, their features, their hands, their entire bone structure, even like their knees, when i'm sitting next to Japanese women on a train or something, it's like i'm sitting next to a child. so yeah, imagine an 11 y/o child at your height, that's really what it really feels more like.

varying on individuals of course, there's just a lot more of them in Japan than there are in other non-asian cultures.

anyway, i don't think we actually know her height yet, but i would say she's hovering around the same as Momo/Captain (i woulda guessed taller, actually, just cuz in my mind they are H!P's shortest and i wouldn't have expected anyone except the youngins like Sayashi, Zukki & Haruka to beat that). if she's shorter than them, it's not by much.

(I'm generally like that too, I mean I'm extremely small boned/tiny. it's weird really. it felt that way the few times i met idols or seiyuu anyway)

[SaebaRyo]

Been waiting for this one ever since S/mileage did it a few weeks ago.

(Implying that her mother failed tests too.)

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I guess this goes here?

Quotes from Masaki were put together in a video.
[youtube]cdo4G2Flwgw[/youtube]

Sohee translated a few of them:
• "I was so nervous I forgot the lyrics completely. So, I didn't know what to do, so I super-lipsynched."

• "I got Kudou's cold~ because, our noses make the same sound~"

• "The cellphone became a bit stupid (in the head)" (Talking as if the phone is alive with a brain/head)

• "Why did you audition for MM:
Masaki: Father applied for the audition, and with that I came to love Morning Musume little by little, so I did my best."

• "When I heard I passed I thought it was a dream, so I pinched myself. But it hurt... So I thought "From tomorrow I'll be a celebrity!!" so I couldn't sleep at all that night."

• "I'm not allowed to say chichi-ue so.. i say chichi." (What she calls her father.)

• "Not something yama(mountain), but something o-yama (mountain)... there is something like that."

• "What do you think you were in your past life?
Masaki: A dog. The animal."

• "I'm in the middle of having confidence and not having any confidence."

• "My nervousness has started to pokupoku."

• "Staff: These photos will be for the goods.
Masaki: I don't want you to sell them."

• "Tanasatan... Ah. Tanaka-san!"

• "Erina: What's your image of where Fukuoka would be?!
Masaki: ... it isn't."

• "Masaki: Kudou is doing her huskyvoice thing right?
Sayumi: It's not like she's forcing it or anything!
Risa: LOLOLOL
Masaki: But her huskyvoice is main, isn't it?"
