Ichigo ichie 9/17 - Aichan's birthday
By: Zabel
Here's a quickie summary of this week's show.
Ichigo ichie 9/17
As Aichan starts talking about her 23rd birthday she suddenly lets out a super cute scream なんだ～！ They brought her a cake in the studio. She talks about memorable birthdays, and how she paid back Gakisan for surprising her on her own birthday with a surprise on Gakisan's birthday; they hid in the dressing room for her.
Her recommendation today is Shugo Chara, which starred Maeda Yuuka. Also, Fukuda Kanon and Saho Akari, and Aichan has words of praise for the three of them. Yuuka saw Aichan perform in Ojigi de Shape up!, so Aichan thought she would go see Yuuka perform in this musical. Aichan is an anime fan herself, and when a listener recommends the Sailor Moon musical to her, Aichan explains that she has already seen it. Her dad, apparently a fan himself, went to see it with her.
The Morning Musume fall concert tour "Nine Smiles" starts on the 19th. The keywords for this concert, she says, will be "smile" (笑顔) and "happy" (元気). Speaking of smile and happy, the dinner show she recently performed in with Gakisan made her happy. Being that close to the fans, she can see their faces; some are nervous, some are in tears, other are smiling brightly, and others try to avoid eye contact out of embarrassment. Gakisan showed off some big smiles of her own due to the incident of Aichan running around in red tights, which they talked about last week. It had been awhile since Aichan had seen her laugh that hard. Reading fan letters is another thing that makes Aichan happy.
English lesson: "Thanks for inviting me."
In the Tettekete corner today Aichan gives advice on how to overcome nervousness. One thing their manager has told them is to speak in a loud voice. As for Aichan herself, talking makes her more nervous than singing or dancing. For instance, when she must talk about Morning Musume in front of people.
Lastly, Aichan tells how she is the type who can fall asleep on the plane, the bullet train, or anywhere.
