Morning Musume DVD Magazine Vol.26

For Morning Musume DVD Magazine Vol.26, the girls played 9 mini games in total. They would earn points from each mini game and at the end of all 9 games, the member with the most number of points wins herself a prize. With that, lets start off.

For the 1st mini game, 2 members will play against one another. The table-tennis racket is just there for show by the way. No real table-tennis game involved. Every time the players returns the serve, they will have to answer the mathematics question given then give another question to the opponent. Basically, all the questions are multiplications of 1 to 9. If the member fails to answer the question within 5 seconds after receiving the ball, she will lose the game. Same thing happens if the member answers the question incorrectly.

Eri's match against Aichan was the 4th match. Eri lost it after answering "24" for "9x3". The correct answer was 27. Frankly, I was surprised by how most of the girls could multiple faster than I expected especially Gaki-san, Eri and Reina xD Okay, I'm sorry. During the match, Eri kept changing her position and hit the ball as though she was playing tennis, lol. Anyway, for this mini game, most of the girls called for multiplications of 9. Cunning yet smart strategy.

The 2nd game, which involves a coin and a straw, 3 members will compete against one another for each match. They will have to use the straw to suck up the 1yen coin and hold it there for as long as possible. Eri certainly made it look easy at first but her coin dropped after some time.

The 3rd game is a pretty common one. That is if you have been watching Hello! Morning's Hello! Pro Hour. Reporter Elizabeth Kyamei had played this game with Goto Maki, Iida Kaori, Matsuura Aya and other Hello! Project members on HPH. 2 members will have to look at one another and the first one to laugh, and that is to show her teeth, will lose. The girls have to make their opponent laugh within 60 seconds or they will play a game of "Scissors, paper, stone" to decide who the winner is.

First off was Eririn versus Sayumin. Pretty obvious who won from the screencap. Even if Sayu didn't find it funny, she'd have probably died from the cute-ness of that face.

Semi finals, Eri vs Aika. Both of them put up a good fight and Eri looked absolutely adorable when Aika teased her. They played a game of "Scissors, paper, stone" to decide the winner and Eri won.

Finals, Eri vs Koharu. Again, no actual winner despite the funny faces from both sides. Eri's expressions were priceless. She looks pretty scary that way. Koharu won after a game of "Scissors, paper, stone" and yes, Koharu was the winner for the 3rd game!

Short talk segment ~ Eri talked about this line-up staying as it is for so long and the bonds between the members becoming strong.

4th game! The girls will play the game "Scissors, paper, stone" using their legs and the winner will point up/down/left/right after winning. If the loser turns to the same direction pointed by the winner, she loses the game completely. Scissors is when the girls put one leg to the front and one leg to the back. Paper is when they open up their legs. Stone is when they close their legs firmly.

Again, a Eririn versus Sayumin match! Sayu owned Eri in this though. Love how Eri went back to Gaki-san immediately xD

5th game is self-explanatory. The girls just have to keep the hoops spinning around their waist for the longest time possible. A very "Er..." game since most of the girls couldn't even keep it there for a least 5 seconds ^^;

For the 6th game, the members have to stop the stopwatch at the 9th second. The member closest to 09:00 wins the game. Eri did this challenge once on Haromoni@ and her timing was around 2 seconds slower than the one she was supposed to stop at. She did it again on Morning Musume's Ameba Studio appearance for "Naichau Kamo" promotion. However, she didn't know how to operate the stopwatch properly and was disqualified. During Eri's turn, the members sang "Usagi to Kame" (The hare and the tortoise) to distract her. Eri's timing was 07:54.

In the 7th game, the members will challenge one another to stacking dominoes. Eri's tower collapsed even before they counted the number of dominoes xD Nice reaction from her. Our little turtle being our little turtle, destroyed Aika's tower. Cuteeee! Reminds me of the GAM DVD where Mikitty destroyed Ayaya's work.

The 8th game is very simple. Its all about luck. 2 girls each match. The girls will have to shuffle the cards and they will have to pull out the cards one by one. The first girl to pull out the card with the number "9", wins the game. Eri made it into semi-finals. On the first try, both Eri and Koharu pulled out the 9 so they re-played the game again. Koharu then won. Lol'd at Eri's lack-of-energy's "You're amazing" after she lost.

The final game! A perfect chance for the members with low scores to catch up with the rest! All they need to do is to roll the dice and their current scores will then be multiplied by the number. Eri called for 6 and got her 6. It was funny when Eri cursed Sayu and Sayu got only 1. Eri was celebrating there, lol.
