Erien #1223: ON HIATUS

NHK-FM Kansai "e" Square [2008.12.15] - Kamei Eri, Kusumi Koharu
- They started off with short introductions. The host started showering them with praises, describing them as lively and cute. The host didn't know how many members there are in Morning Musume, and requested for the girls to name the rest of the members out. Eri and Koharu took turns to introduce the rest.

- The host asks about the two Chinese girls' Japanese standards. Eri and Koharu said that they were good. The host then asks about whether Junjun and Linlin teaches any Chinese phrases. Koharu brings up the Shanghai concert, and said that they did their introductions in Chinese, so they learned how to say their names in Chinese.

- When did Eri and Koharu joined Morning Musume. Eri again, says that she joined at age 13 (Going 14) while Koharu joined when she was 12. The host wonders about how they handle their schoolwork and work at the same time. Koharu is still schooling and working now. The girls mentioned that it was troublesome to be schooling and working. The host once interviewed a group of 12 year old girls and apparently all the girls said they want to join Morning Musume. The two girls understand how the group of girls feel since they had the same aim as them before they joined.

- Trainings. Standing on the stage performing required a lot of trainings. They can't screw up any dance step cos' they're dancing as a group.

Morning Musume - Watashi no Aoi Tori

- COVER YOU promotions. The same old question, "Are there any songs that you've heard before Morning Musume release this album?". The host wonders why do the two girls know some of the songs. Eri and Koharu said that that's b'cos their mothers often sing it and its often played on the TV (Koi no Dial 6700 was played in the background in Haromoni@ Sayu - Reina phone investigators corner) The host then ask them about whether there's any song in the album that when they first heard of it, they liked it. As usual, Koharu went for "Pinponpan Taisou" while Eri went for "Watashi no Aoi Tori". Eri went "Kukukuku ~" at 10:34.

- Aichan's duet with Itsuki Hiroshi. When Eri listened to "Izakaya" she found it cool, just like what one can expect from their dear leader.

- Seishun Jidai. Eri didn't know about this song. The fact that the original singers of this song were guys surprised Koharu.

- Pink Lady. Eri remembered their "collaboration" with Pink Lady (Pink Lady & Morning Musume - UFO)

- Promotions for Hello! Project 2009 Winter Wonderful Hearts Kouen ~ Kakumei Gannen ~

- Eri's message for listeners "There were quite a number of events happening this year like the musical and the concert tours. It was a really hectic year and I learned a lot. I'll like to work hard and try out new things next year, so please continue to support me!"

- Koharu's message for listeners "Lots of my wishes were granted in this year. But still, I'll like to continue to work towards my targets. I've set one of my goals for 2009, and that is to jumped higher then anyone else in the concerts." Upon hearing the jump part Eri said "Ah..thats young..". The host heard it and started laughing at the background. She later said "Even though Kamei-san is still 20 she finds that young". Eri starts talking about the 4 years age gap between her and Koharu. But the host says that just by appearance, Eri looks like she's the same age as Koharu. Koharu suddenly answers with a loud "Really?" and Eri was like "Itai..". But the host understands how Eri feels. The host and Eri definitely won't say things like wanting to jump higher then the rest as their targets b'cos of their age. Meanwhile Koharu was becoming high tension'd and said "Lets do it together!". The host set up for Eri and asked "Whats your new year target?", Eri follows up and says "To jump higher then Koharu".
