So, I was surfing in the Hello!Online a while ago, and found this translation by a fan who posted it there. Since it was Gaki-san’s Q&A about “The H!P member that I like~”, I want to share it to you guys. I just found Hello!Online very useful since there are translations, latest pictures of them, opinions of the fans, and many more without getting bothered by Japanese characters sicne I’m not really good at it.
Anyway, here’s the translation….
1. If you could create your own unit, which other members would be in it and what would be the unit name?
Kamei Eri, Kumai Yurina, Wada Ayaka – Dekobokobokesshu
The heights of the four of us has the dekoboko feel to it, with Kame (boke) and Wada-chan (big boke) combi, and Kumai-chan and myself as the tsukkomi combi (‘shu’ is the sound effect from the sharpness of our tsukkomi), we’re a strong unit with contrast (laugh). Please take note of the consonance (dissonance!?) in the music that the four different members will play for you.
[dekoboko = 凸凹 = uneven]
2.1 Singing and voice you admire?
Linlin
When we go for karaoke together, Linlin is really cool when she sings the songs with English lyrics in them. It makes people think that she’s a foreign artiste. I can’t forget the adult-like voice when she sings.
2.2 Dancing you admire?
Suzuki Airi
I like Airi-chan’s dancing. It’s not too intense and it’s not too exaggerated…, it has a good feeling to it and people feel comfortable when watching her dance. During rehearsals, I will always watch the dancing of Airi-chan that caught my attention.
2.3 Talking skill you admire?
Wada Ayaka
Which country is this person from!? or maybe, which planet did this person come from!? is what she makes people think with her crazier-than-crazy remarks. Even her blog is full of mystery. I really respect her ideas and imagination that even I am unable to have.
2.4 Character you admire?
Fukuda Kanon
I thought that she is the most serious in S/mileage, but she often says “I’m the reincarnation of Cinderella” and other kinds of strange things that I don’t understand. “That is not possible” she says, but in the end it manages to attract her interest (laugh)
2.5 Looks you admire?
Wada Ayaka
I usually talk with the members about how “The kids born in the Heisei Era have totally different leg length from us”. This girl’s legs are really long, and from her face it seems like she’ll become a beauty when she grows older. Though she’s still like a little animal now (laugh)
2.6 Fashion sense you admire?
Tokunaga Chinami
Toku-chan and I like the same characters, and we’ll usually ask each other “Where’d you buy this?” if we see each other wearing clothes with the characters we like. Since we have similar taste in clothes, it makes me take notice of her.
3. I’m the only one that knows “___[The person's name]___ looks like this, but is actually _____”…
Mitsui Aika
Aika-chan is always cool and calm, she will just smile to herself and give off a very cool adult-like feeling and image in any situation. Sometimes at certain places, she’ll suddenly say some words that are really sharp [the tsukkomi kind]. If you separate the Morning Musume members into the boke type and the tsukkomi type, there are more girls that are boke. And she’s a rare one that gives really good tsukkomis to the boke members.
4. The person you want as your elder sister?
Okai Chisato
Even though she is actually younger than me by a lot, Okai-chan somehow has a good oldie feeling and a Showa fragrance to her. Like the Showa kind of warmth that she is giving out. I’m a person just barely born in the Showa Era [she was born on the last year], and I really welcome [want to have] an older sister. I’ll be healed by her smile every day, and I think she’s a very precious girl that has an aura that somehow signifies that she wants to listen to all your troubles.
5. The person you want as your younger sister?
Tokunaga Chinami
We usually have conversations, and we usually send each other mails. I think the way she calls out “Niigaki-san, Niigaki-san” while walking up to where I am is really cute! I think having this kind of younger sister is great. Even as I look at her when she’s dancing, it seems like she’s really shining because she’s smiling so much. With Toku-chan around, even the air starts shining!
6. It would be great if this person was my mother…
Junjun
Even though I’m a gokki member and Junjun’s a hachiki member, and we’re definitely senpai and kouhai, she makes me forget about that because of her care and concern for others (laugh). “Are we allowed to eat this? Then I’ll bring it over for you” and “I’ll open this bag for you” is what she usually says. Even if we’re of different nationalities, she makes one think that she’s a homemaker from somewhere in Japan.
7. If this person was a pet I want to take care of her… And what animal would she be?
Wada Ayaka
Even though Wada-chan and I are together in the unit ZYX-α, if there is a pet called “Da-wa-”, I definitely want to take care of it. If it’s Wada-chan, it feels like she’ll still go around yapping even if she becomes a pet (laugh). If I take her out and she makes these “guu guu” sounds, it will make me not want to go to work anymore. It’s so irresistable! (laugh)
8. You form a comedy duo with this other person who is a must to have in your group. Who is this person?
Kamei Eri
Since we usually act as the “Gakikame” comedy duo, I have decided that my partner will be Kamei Eri. Also, since “Gakikame” has also been established in everyone’s mind, I think the probability of us forming this comedy duo is very high if we brush up on our boke and tsukkomi act. Please look out for it (laugh)
9. The person you want as your girlfriend if you were a male?
Nakajima Saki
If I have a girlfriend she’ll definitely be Nakki. Even though Nakki and I only became really good friends during the play we did together, she’s a really reliable and honest girl, and she has the best personality of all. She has really cute, sparkling eyes, as long as you’re a boy, no matter who you are, I think you will definitely dream of taking her out for a walk. The kind of pure aura she has around her makes people feel like their souls have been cleaned.
10. The person you want as your boyfriend if she were a male?
Yajima Maimi
If Maimi-chan were my boyfriend, it feels like the soft aura she gives off without saying anything will gently wrap around me. Doesn’t it seem like even if I say really selfish things, and request her to do the impossible, she’ll still say “Alright, I understand, Risa♡”? [I melted] (laugh). Even though this is all my imagination, I still think Maimi-chan’s charm is amazing.
It seems that she really like Wada Ayaka, she mentioned her for like four times, I think. The comedy duo is a great choice, Kamei Eri it is. I really found her very funny when I watch the “Nanchatte Renai” the making; she answered a quiz about the next delicious food aside of mushrooms, and answered “Eri-nge”, the other type of mushrooms(she used her name ‘Eri’ and added ‘nge’), and the other one was when she acted like a villain and tried to shot Ai-chan (but some fans mentioned that she seems drunk that time), she acted weirdly strange
I somewhat not really surprised for Gaki to admire Airi’s dance. Since she’s really flexible and comfortable to watch while she’s dancing. Linlin’s voice is really the best, no wonder Gaki admires her much. I just don’t understand why she really don’t have much solo lines in any singles, she may have in album songs or B-side songs. Her voice is just so powerful.
Nakki for being her girlfriend if she’s a male is a very good choice. Her shining personality, and her cuteness makes her the best. Gaki’s choice for her boyfriend if she’s a boy, Maimi, is a good choice too. Maimi plays a role as a man/boy during of some stage plays, and she’s really good at it. Her personality for being so caring will make everyone melt.
(Well, speaking of stage plays, I just watched a clip of Maimi fighting with a sword)
I’m really glad to read Gaki’s Q&A, she’s really great and amazing. She's making me love her more and more. But I noticed she never mentioned her admirations for her best friend Ai Takahashi. Anyway, her image is the best, I just started to like her new hairstyle. Hopefully, I'll read more of her interviews and magazines.
