Pocket Morning Weekly Q&A (week of 09/28/2008)
Question: What’s a habit you want to break, but can’t?
Takahashi Ai
- I’m always pulling at my hangnails.
Niigaki Risa
- My mother says I eat too much…
- I play with my eyelashes…
Kamei Eri
Michishige Sayumi
- I rub my belly. It’s so soft, so it feels good ＾□＾；To break that habit……I’ll lose weight!!!
Tanaka Reina
- It’s not really one I want to break (lol), but I fold my arms! (← Sayu told me about that ↑↑) The reason is, during rehearsals, I cross my arms and it looks like I’m not thinking about anything, or I look like I’m stuck up. That’s what Sayu said…I wonder if that’s what she really thinks I’m like… (lol)
Kusumi Koharu
- I open my mouth without realising it. Wide open…It seems that my mouth is always looking for food…(sweat drop)ﾞ
Mitsui Aika
- Now that I think about it, I tend to smirk ＾□＾； I think that when people see that up close, it makes me look bad, so I want to fix that. But the muscles around my mouth are already laughing… ＾□＾；
Jun Jun
Lin Lin
- I always eat too much, so I want to fix that. But can I? HA～HA～＾▽＾
Wow…pretty much all of these are habits that I have! Eri’s popping her knees one is just bizarre…I don’t do that, and I hope that she doesn’t end up suffering with some form of arthritis in the future @_@ I don’t play with my eyelashes either lol.
But Ai’s ‘pulling at hangnails’, man I’ve been doing that all the time lately. My hands have been getting really dry so I’m suffering. Then Reina’s ‘folding her arms’, is my trademark stance. That and standing with my hands on my hips ^^
Sayu’s is the best one though ♥♥♥ I do tend to rub my belly every now and again, and I know how nice it is (in a non dodgy way). I totally understand where’s she’s coming from. And in all honesty…who wouldn’t want to rub her belly for her???
This is one of the better Pocket Morning’s. Although I still think Wotakunow’s question(s) would be a lot more interesting!!!

Today marks the end of the uber fantastic *cough* programme that is/was HaroMoni@. I felt that this deserved a bit of respect, so I rocked up to my laptop today sporting a black tie. Yes I’m a geek, but I really don’t give a shit!!! So…on to the show!
disclaimer – please be warned, the posts about this episode will be cap-tastic!!! Just how I like it ^^
Now Morning Musume are split in to three teams – Blue, Green and Orange. BUT because I think it should be done by the team leaders colours, so I’m going with Yellow , Green and Orange . Ok ok, I only changed one colour, but if you watch the show you’ll notice I switched them around…
In the GREEN corner is Risa ♥, Reina and Jun Jun
（ ・e・）
In the ORANGE corner is Eri, Sayumi and Koharu
（＾ｰ＾*从
and last but not least…
In the YELLOW corner is Ai, Aika and Lin Lin
（’ー’* )
LMAO at Aika’s face!!!
There’s one more thing left to do before they start…
SHINE!!!
Well…In the episode they actually keep swapping from one team to another, until they get to Risa’s team, which they stay with until they complete the task (as they completed it in the least amount of time). So for the sake of not making people go WTF??? I’ll do this review one team at a time. Easier for me that way too.
So as they completed the task in the least amount of time / tries, I’ll write about Risa’s green team first ^^

The idea of their part is for Risa to throw the noodles over Jun Jun, and on to Reina’s plate. Sounds easy ne?! Before they start though…
Look at Jun Jun’s cute ears *squee* First throw…
FAIL!!! Although, I never expected them to do it on their first attempt. That would just be silly…
Risa starts to get semi pissed quite early on, which isn’t really like her. I think it’s probably because she’s working with some of her group mates. Bless :3
Although there’s a possiblity she’s getting pissed because she’s hit Jun Jun with the noodles, soooo many times. This one I think they repeated (once in slow motion) about 4 times!!! Nice ass Jun Jun!
Aww…Risa puts so much effort in to it ♥♥♥ This is why I like her so much…That and the fact that she is cute / hawt ^^
So whilst Risa stresses over throwing the noodles correctly, Reina just stands there holding her plate like a model on Bruces’s Generation Game! ><
Risa manages to perfect her swing, but Reina can’t ‘catch’ the noodles once they’ve headed in her direction. But then…YATTA!!! Reina caught them ^^ Look at her face! That’s determination right?!
They’re so determind in fact, that after the noodles land on Reina’s plate, both Risa and Reina stay perfectly still until someone shouts ‘OK’. Jun Jun on the other hand is like ‘yeah yeah we did it ^^
So then comes the victory appraisal…
Risa and Reina hug, and leave Jun Jun out :(
♥♥♥ WUB ♥♥♥
LMAO. Reina’s such a nerd sometimes. This is the Reina I like ^^
Then praise each other whilst again…leaving Jun Jun out :(
So she complains…
…and they praise her ♥
So to sum it up!
It took them 82 throws, in what’s that? 1 hour and 40 mins?
*shrug* I dunno…
but… GO RISA’S TEAM!!! Obviously I was routing for them from the start
（ ・e・）

Ai’s teams part involes Aika ripping a table cloth off a table (without messing up the setting), passing it to Ai who then has to throw it backwards in to Lin Lin’s washing bin thing, whilst she’s pushing it along. Child’s play right?! (for this post I changed the colour from Ai’s yellow to Aika’s purple for ease of reading ^^)
First try…
FAIL!!! But just like Risa’s team, I didn’t expect them to do it first time either. Makes for good viewing if they drag it out. Oh…and I just like writing FAIL!
After many failed attempts by Aika, the lovely Ai-chan thinks about the best way to pull the table cloth out.
Ai-chan is just like me in this sense, although I would’ve thought about it before they actually started the challange.
So Ai has a bash
and succeeds on her first attempt ^^
*note – I’m capping from the way the show played out. If you want to speculate those two shots, go to the Ai thread at H!O
Aika took heed to Ai’s suggestion (because Ai is fucking fantastic – truth!) and started pulling the table cloth out perfectly everytime. Then passed it on to Ai who…
FAILED!!!
LMAO
Ai starts to get aggrivated. So funny…
Maybe someone could translate that for me ^^
*begs*
and there’s some moaning…
Ai’s still not happy with Aika’s ‘technique’ and suggests she rolls up the table cloth a bit better. Then when she gets it, it’s easier for her to throw. Logic!
YOU TELL HER AI-CHAN!!!
*dislikes Aika*
So with the new, ‘improved’ cloth rolling technique sorted. Ai’s throws start to get closer ^^
Then end up being TOO close for comfort for Lin Lin
roffle
‘I sort glass. That’s my job’
Then a miricle happens…
She shoots…
She scores!!!
*puts shirt over head and runs around in a frenzy*
So they hug ♥
and keep hugging ♥♥♥
dammit – I want some Ai hug action *dreams*
So to sum it up…
It took them 149 attempts over 3 hours and 15 mins!!!
I think if Ai hadn’t been put with the n00bs *cough* then the challange might’ve been completed faster. Although Lin Lin’s ‘part’ didn’t really affect the whole thing. But Aika needs some ‘common sense’ bitch slapped in to her lols
*volunteers to dish out the ‘common sense slapping’*
（’ー’* )

This one is going to be the hardest to write about. Mainly because there is a lot of dialogue (especially from Sayumi) and I can’t translate it. So this is entirely speculation / my perception on what is going on ^^
Eri’s teams part involves Koharu throwing a straw hat to Eri, who in turn has to throw it on to Sayumi’s head whilst Sayumi is walking up the stars. This one I knew was not going to be easy from the start, because the straw hat is a bit too big and flimsy. But Sayumi thought things would be ok as they had veteran A-TO member Eri in their team. Oh how wrong she was…
First throw…
FAIL!!! (come on, you must’ve expected it by now ^^) I will give Koharu some due…the straw hat is stupid and she is sat down, which makes it harder
Although this made me laugh. It’s only her 3rd attempt and she’s already pissed off!
By the 4th try Koharu had sorted out het throw, now it was just Eri’s turn. This must’ve been annoying. So close and yet so far!
There’s basically a lot of missed throws from Eri. I didn’t cap them all because this post would go on for ages. Sayu’s starting to get tired from all the walking she’s doing, so Eri tries to comfort her. Bless :3
100 attempts come and go. Sayu is getting really tired from the walking and ends up…
…dropping her boxes. LMFAO! If I was her I would’ve lobbed them at someone by now. Probably Koharu because she gets to sit on her ass the whole time…
Poor Sayu ♥ She’s so ‘hot and bothered’
I like how she took out her frustration on her boxes though. Not that I think they deserved it…
Attempt #162. Sayu’s bottom box is a mess, and Koharu really looks like she couldn’t give a shit.
At least with all the walking up and down the stairs, Sayumi will get fit!!!
Koharu will not be getting fit though. Just tired…
*yawn*
DEATH GLARE FTW!!!
Sayu’s boxes have been reduced from 3 to 2!!! It was about time someone put that poor pink box out of its misery.
4 hours and 200 attempts have gone by. Sayu’s trying to keep a brave face, or is she?
Sayu’s pissed…
pissed!
PISSED I TELLS YOU!!!
and Koharu’s just bored lols
and now Eri’s starting to flag. It must be really tough for her because Sayu did voice how she was relying on Eri’s previous experience. I expect she feels like the whole weight of the world is on her shoulders
*hugs Eri*
So Eri starts a war cry to get peoples spirits up
YEAH!
Which the others respond too, although Koharu can’t really be bothered to do this either…
Then another war cry!
Which is working on Sayu ^^
One last time!
Koharu’s really not in to it lol, you should hear her voice. Sayu, on the other hand, is feeling the effects!!!
YOSH!
The attempt after the war crys was really close. The hat landed on Sayu’s head but fell off again.
But the throw after that…
Where Sayu is only carrying 1 box!!!
LMAO
IS A SUCCESS!!!
(probably due to the fact that Sayu stood still on the stairs, but we’ll forgive her)
So Koharu gets to victory nuzzle Eri
No fair! *pouts*
Then Eri tries to have a ‘Mothers Meeting’, but for some reason Koharu won’t let her hold her hand / arm…
Which makes Eri cry and get squidged in to Sayu’s boobs
(no, that isn’t the real reason why Eri cried. Yay for boob hug though)
Bless :3
So to sum it up…
It took them 316 attempts in 4 hours and 50 minutes
HOLY FUCKING HELL is all I can say.
I did shed a little tear when watching this back through. Especially on the bit where they show some of Eri’s previous A-TO challanges. The music was all too overwhelming for me *sobsob* But I salute them for carrying on with this for nearly 5 hours! That’s dedication!!!

Just So You Know My Japanese is non existent, so when I cap TV shows or DVD's and blog about them everything I write is just my interpretation of what is going on. I am going by body language, pitch of voice and general facial expressions as to me it's more fun this way. Please do not take what I write as the absolute truth ^^
Screen Caps Unless otherwise stated, all screen caps were captured by me. It takes me roughly twice the length of the video itself to get all the caps I desire (because I'm thorough), then I spend a long time sorting them and cropping off the black screen edges (because I'm anal). I do all this because I enjoy it and because I wish to share them with fellow fans, so I have absolutely no problem with people taking them and using them for whatever purpose they see fit. The only thing I do ask though, is that you don't pawn them off as your own!
Thanks for reading / looking at my blog. I hope you find it enjoyable |
