MC Suzuki Keita
1st event
1. LOVEPedia (Morning Musume. '20)
- Mei-chan's outfit includes a cape. Mei : "Last year, Ikuta-san's costume was a long cape, which was cool. I thought I was not ready for a long cape, so I shortened it and put it on."
- Opening Talk by Mei herself : The opening talk is actually a quiz she has to get through.
Q. How many pandas are there in today's costume?
A. 14. Four on each side of the socks. On her shoulders are small panda plushies.
Q. Did you finish your throat lozenges today without chewing them?
A. I actually chewed it before I knew it.
~ Suzuki Keita appears on stage and talked about Mei-chan birthday goods.
Mei-chan's first choice was a "yurayura (wobbling) glass" with an illustration of a panda.
In order for people to see the illustration, she said, "At first, please put a clear drink in it. After that, put something pink and enjoy the baby panda".
- Mei-chan's fortune telling corner. The first fortune-telling corner was at Mei-chan's request. She said, "I am interested in fortune-telling, but I have never been to one yet. Even when the members talk about fortune-telling, I just end up saying, 'I see.'"
~ Chronology : The year 2025 is not a bad year, but the next three years will be very good.
~ The year before that, 2024, watch out for injuries and illnesses.
~ She is suited to be a leader. If the group has 10 members, she is not the type who takes the initiative and says "follow me" to the remaining 9 members, but the type who acts as a sign for the group.
When Keita asked, "Are you the one who decides what to do when you play with your friends?" Mei replied, "I don't have too many friends (tomodachi)" In elementary school, she was once a group leader, but not since entering junior high school.
~ Compatibility : In 15th gen, you are gen mates (nakama). If you have some common goal, you will work together to achieve it, but they do not go deep into each other's private lives.
Mei-chan added, "The three of us in the 15th gen have talked about it, but 'If the three of us were in the same school, we would never be in the same group.'"
~ In Morning Musume, I find that Fukumura-san and Ikuta-san have great chemistry, as there is no overlap between them and they recognize each other's personalities.
~ The people who are in "Mei World" are Mei and Makino.
- Challenge corner :
~ The first one was "17-second talk," in which she was asked to summarize a theme in 17 seconds of free talk. The themes were "ribbon," "sugarcane," "electrical outlet," and so on.
~ The next challenge is to see if you can spot the changes in the illustration. Three parts of the illustration gradually change over a 17-second period. Guess where the changes occurred.
~ The last challenge is to remember the past choreography. On the screen behind her is a video of "Real☆Little☆Girl" performed at the 2018 recital "Niji". The correct way to look at it is to compare it with the current Mei, but it features Mei, Ishiguri, Tamenaga, Riai, Okamura Minami, and Rin in their green Kenshuusei outfits.
Live corner :
All the songs have "Ai" or "love" in their titles
2. Aishite Aishite Ato Ippun (Morning Musume.)

4. Ai wa Maru de Seidenki (C-ute) (VTR played in the background as she sang. From when she joined Kenshuusei Hokkaido to joining Morning Musume as 15th gen.
