Risa Niigaki

Question 1: What is a dream you'd like to come true once?
Niigaki: Just once, I'd like to be a part of the Disneyland Parade, and ride on that shining train!

Question 2: What's a dream that you've had when you were asleep that left an impression?
Niigaki: I've had a lot of different ones, but a good one... The night before the first day of a concert, I dreamt of the concert, and it was a big success!

Question 3: What is your current dream?
Niigaki: I want to try acting. I can send a message to people through singing, but I dream of being able to send a moving message through acting!

Question 4: What are your recommended and favourite points of the new single "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito"?
Niigaki: When I was talking with the other members about it (the feelings of the person in the song), there were some who said, "I can understand," and some who said, "I don't get it." So, there are a lot of different types, and I think everyone who listens to it will have a different impression.

Question 5: Give a message to everybody who is chasing after a dream!
Niigaki: Eight years ago, I had the dream, "I want to be in Morning Musume." And because I didn't give up, I became part of Morning Musume, and now I feel like I'm continuing on and shining with my dreams. So, everybody who's chasing a dream, I hope you won't give up on it.



Aika Mitsui

Question 1: What is a dream you'd like to come true once?
Mitsui: I want to ride on a flying carpet! I want to fly through the sky on something other than a helicopter or a plane.

Question 2: What's a dream that you've had when you were asleep that left an impression?
Mitsui: A dream of the end of the world. I was the only one on Earth, and I was in a nursery. When I woke up, I jumped out of bed and looked for my mother! (lol)

Question 3: What is your current dream?
Mitsui: I want a pet white tiger. And a lion and a regular tiger, too! And I want to live in a big house like a castle.

Question 4: What are your recommended and favourite points of the new single "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito"?
Mitsui: The final part ♪ But even still, I love you ♪ That's the part that I recommend. When we first started recording it, we were told, "Sing it with as much feeling as you can." I put so much effort into it and sang so hard that I ended up laughing (lol). So I hope everyone can hear how hard we worked on it.

Question 5: Give a message to everybody who is chasing after a dream!
Mitsui: Having a dream and burning with ambition is just like in the "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito" lyrics. I think it makes you ♪ Shine ♪ Everybody is going to love somebody who shines, so if there's something you yearn for, work hard to make it happen, and please chase after your dreams with optimism.

Reina Tanaka

Question 1: What is a dream you'd like to come true once?
Tanaka: I want to be able to do magic! And I want to be someone who can read people's minds! Like, "What is this person thinking? I'll just look into his heart ♥" I want to read the feelings of people I'm interested in!

Question 2: What's a dream that you've had when you were asleep that left an impression?
Tanaka: I've had this dream twice now. I'm shopping at a supermarket, and I go to the park to rest, when a girl dressed in red with short hair comes up and steals my potato chips. (lol)

Question 3: What is your current dream?
Tanaka: I want to go to Hawaii with my family!

Question 4: What are your recommended and favourite points of the new single "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito"?
Tanaka: I think there are two different feelings in this song. There's the feeling of wanting to support a dream, and a feeling of not giving up on the reality in front of you. So, I think how people will feel about it depends on the person. That's the key point. For me, it's like, "Why are you giving up? Keep burning with ambition!" (lol)

Question 5: Give a message to everybody who is chasing after a dream!
Tanaka: Whether your dreams come true or not may be a matter of luck, but I think if you work hard, you can be confident and brave. And it's fun to be chasing after a dream. So treasure that important, shining time.



Linlin

Question 1: What is a dream you'd like to come true once?
Linlin: I want to buy a big house like a castle for my mom and dad.

Question 2: What's a dream that you've had when you were asleep that left an impression?
Linlin: I was being chased by a ghost, and I didn't think there was anywhere to run, when somebody's hand protected me, and I woke up. And my mother's hand was lying on my chest. It was just like the situation in my dream!

Question 3: What is your current dream?
Linlin: To be a super idol!

Question 4: What are your recommended and favourite points of the new single "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito"?
Linlin: I noticed something amazing. The story is a bit different, but the feeling is the same. I came to Japan chasing my dream, and mom and dad are like the girl in the song. When she was cleaning up my room, she took out my clothes, and even though she didn't have an iron, she did start to cry. So I can understand the feeling.

Question 5: Give a message to everybody who is chasing after a dream!
Linlin: I'm chasing after a dream, too. I know that if I keep working hard, there'll be results. And even if a dream doesn't come true, working hard is a good life experience and a treasure. So if you have a dream, please chase after it so you have no regrets.

Junjun

Question 1: What is a dream you'd like to come true once?
Junjun: I'd be happy if I could be in a movie or a drama.

Question 2: What's a dream that you've had when you were asleep that left an impression?
Junjun: I was with my friends at school, going to classes, eating lunch, playing around, when suddenly everyone disappeared. I was so scared that I started crying. I woke up and I was still crying.

Question 3: What is your current dream?
Junjun: I want to buy a new house for my parents!

Question 4: What are your recommended and favourite points of the new single "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito"?
Junjun: The last song "Naichau kamo" was a sad song, but this new one is even more sad. I love all the lyrics. ♪ When I remember your sleeping face, the tears start to flow ♪ or ♪ When I iron your clothes, the tears fall on my hands ♪ It really touches my heart. It's like the story from a drama. That's how I could sing with so much feeling, by thinking I was acting.

Question 5: Give a message to everybody who is chasing after a dream!
Junjun: My dream is to buy a house for my parents, but I'm embarrassed to say that after two years in Japan, I haven't saved up any money. I spend it all... (lol) So I'm working hard for my dream, so let's all work hard together. Let's save our money together! (lol)



Sayumi Michishige

Question 1: What is a dream you'd like to come true once?
Michishige: I want perfect pitch. It's my dream to be able to hit the right note, no matter what. That's too cool! (lol)

Question 2: What's a dream that you've had when you were asleep that left an impression?
Michishige: There was a dream I had in kindergarten. Back then I really wanted a pet. But I had a dream where there was an elephant and a giraffe in front of the house, and I couldn't get out. After that, I didn't want a pet so much (lol)

Question 3: What is your current dream?
Michishige: I always want to be chasing a dream. There are little goals every day, so right now my dream is to have something to aim for, so that some day I'll have a big dream.

Question 4: What are your recommended and favourite points of the new single "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito"?
Michishige: My favourite part is the bright and shiny intro. It makes you excited, thinking, "What kind of song will this be?" And then it grabbed hold of my heart (lol)

Question 5: Give a message to everybody who is chasing after a dream!
Michishige: When you're chasing a dream, you can be nervous and uncertain, but I think a lot of fun can come from it, too. But if you try too hard, you'll end up spinning your wheels. So please face your dreams and chase after them at your own pace, not running too fast, one step at a time, and without withdrawing from reality.



Koharu Kusumi

Question 1: What is a dream you'd like to come true once?
Kusumi: I want a day-long full-body massage! I want all the kinks worked out. And after that, I want to eat lots of crab!

Question 2: What's a dream that you've had when you were asleep that left an impression?
Kusumi: "Ice-man" (an original character that appears in my dreams - lol) was going to bite my thumb. He bit my sister, and her thumb froze. (lol)

Question 3: What is your current dream?
Kusumi: I want to do a Koharu project, where I can meet and talk to all the fans. There are lots of things I want to do with everybody.

Question 4: What are your recommended and favourite points of the new single "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito"?
Kusumi: For me, the words and feeling of the lyrics is very "Showa era". So, to feel like the girl in the song, I didn't put myself into it. Instead I sang with the feelings of a 24-year-old (lol). There are a lot of Morning Musume songs that a lot of people can empathise with, but I hope people will listen to this one and feel a brand new kind of appeal to it.

Question 5: Give a message to everybody who is chasing after a dream!
Kusumi: No matter what, don't give up, and do everything that you can. I think that by thinking there's nothing I can't do, I do everything with all my might, and it gets me a little closer to my dreams.

Ai Takahashi

Question 1: What is a dream you'd like to come true once?
Takahashi: I want to fly through the sky with my own power!

Question 2: What's a dream that you've had when you were asleep that left an impression?
Takahashi: After watching a certain movie, I had a dream where all the members were fighting each other. It was so scary!

Question 3: What is your current dream?
Takahashi: A star! Just kidding (lol). I'm trying my best to live a bright, shining life.

Question 4: What are your recommended and favourite points of the new single "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito"?
Takahashi: The image that comes to my mind is of a couple, where the boyfriend wants to be a musician or an actor, and he's chasing his dream. But the girlfriend is worried about his future... That's how it feels to me. Her feelings are in this song, and because I'm chasing a dream too, it was easy for me to put my own feelings into the recording session. The lyrics are like the lines in a story, and I think this could have been made into a drama (lol)

Question 5: Give a message to everybody who is chasing after a dream!
Takahashi: I'm chasing a dream too, but when you chase a dream, you don't know if you'll reach it, so there are realities and uncertainties. But I think that people shine when they're chasing a dream, so whether it comes true or not, don't give up, and do your best to reach your dream.



Eri Kamei

Question 1: What is a dream you'd like to come true once?
Kamei: I want to be over 170cm tall, like a model, stylish and with with long legs!

Question 2: What's a dream that you've had when you were asleep that left an impression?
Kamei: I really don't remember them... But there is one that I remember, where in my dream I was wearing the exact same clothes as Ai-chan (lol)

Question 3: What is your current dream?
Kamei: My father said, "I'll take you to a really good restaurant that serves horse meat." But our schedules haven't worked out. So I want to go soon and try this delicious horse meat (lol)

Question 4: What are your recommended and favourite points of the new single "Shou ga nai Yume Oibito"?
Kamei: After the chorus, there's a phrase ♪ A helpless dream chaser ♪ The music changes there, and it becomes more mature and sorrowful. But it also has a fresh sound, so I'd like people to listen for that.

Question 5: Give a message to everybody who is chasing after a dream!
Kamei: I was lucky to get into Morning Musume, so one of my dreams has already come true. But now I'm chasing a new dream. Dreams keep on going, and never end, so I think it's great to chase them. Don't rush it, and let's all work together to make our dreams come true.
