Morning Musume Interview with Idoool for “13 Colorful Character” [Ikuta, Sayashi, Sato]
Special Translations | By kurikaesu

–Tanaka-san and Michishige-san are people that you want to surpass, huh?

Ikuta: Tanaka-san is in terms of singing, and Michishige-san is in terms of dancing. I separate them into those kinds of images, and I want to surpass them in those.

–When do you think you’ll be able to surpass them?

Ikuta: Um……yeah, I don’t know (laughs).

–Ikuta-san has been active for 2 years…

Ikuta: Michishige-san and Tanaka-san have been members for 10 years, so…I guess in about 5 years, then?

Sayashi: So fast~!

–At what moment does Sato-san feel like she’s improved?

Sato: After entering Morning Musume, a lot of people have told me, “Your handwriting has gotten better, huh?”

All: (laugh)

Sato: It got better over time as I signed autographs. When I write in my notebook, I’m told, “Maa-chan, your handwriting has gotten better, huh?” Also, I was told, “You’ve gotten better at dancing.” I don’t want to lose to my generation-mate, Ishida Ayumi, who’s good at dancing, and in particular when I started dancing with that feeling since “Ren’ai Hunter,” I’m told, “Compared to ‘Pyoko Pyoko Ultra’ your dancing has gotten better, and if you work hard, you can also improve in singing~”

–Who said that to you?

Sato: It was…a friend.

Lol good luck Ikuta
Maachan being adorable and hilarious at the same as always

[Parhelion69]

Maachan is seriously just too awesome, she's the funniest member by far, and never fails to make all the girls crack up.

This girl stole the interview yet again

This is amazing !!!

I was late to the party when it comes to this album... dint listen to i for at least a couple of weeks after it was released, for a variety of reasons. Didn't read the majority of the thread either so I'm not sure how everyone else feels, but....
Pretty sure that this is my favorite MM album.

^It's okay— I only recently just got around to listening to 12, SMART.

[Parhelion69]

Shame on you both!

I've liked all albums since Rainbow 7, and 10 my me is my favorite of all time (and yes I've listened to all the albums), but the recent ones are very good, specially 12 smart imo

[Jessi]

Platinum 9, 10 My Me, and 13 Colorful Character are my favorites. I think 13 Colorful Character is my favorite now

For older albums I haven't really given them a good listen... although I just bought all of the early albums... 4th Ikimasshoi! and Ai no Kai 6 Dan have some of my favorite MoMusu songs ever though.

[aishiteruaibon]

I loved 4, 5 and 6 a lot. And 7.
