Question: Please tell us one of your favorite words or phrases from a foreign language.
Morning Musume '25
Nonaka Miki
I like the sound of the word 'Mosquito'.
Oda Sakura
Could you speak more slowly, please?
Makino Maria
Aaron Judge
Haga Akane
Yo Nunca Fallo
Yokoyama Reina
Wombat is the only choice.
Okamura Homare
That's tough! lol
Love and Peace ☆
Yamazaki Mei
"HAPPY"
Though I like the word itself, I also like how the pronunciation is somehow cute.
Sakurai Rio
"Très bien" from French, which means splendid. Since I'm very good at pronouncing just this word, I want everyone to hear it lol lol
Inoue Haruka
Hello
Since I'm in Hello! Project...
If I put it that way you'd probably naturally think "What about 'morning'?", but I'm nocturnal, so.
But! I was born in the morning.
Yumigeta Ako

Angerme
Ise Layla
Keep your smile
Tamenaga Shion

This word is important to me, and I love it!
Hashisako Rin

It's a word that can't be directly translated into Japanese, and I really liked when I saw it as a desire to keep feeling a momentary fleeting happiness.

Angerme's rallying cry is the best.
Goto Hana
thank you!

Nishida Shiori
"น่ารัก" (Ǹā rạk), 'cute' in Thai
"水啦" (Shuǐ la), 'wonderful' in Taiwanese

I hear it means 'cute' in French!!
Kiyono Momohime
笑死 (Xiào sǐ, die laughing)

Kobayashi Honoka
Baumkuchen
It's a combination of Baum (tree) and Kuchen (cake), and I like how it's so cute the name is just as it appears.
Satoyoshi Utano
"哭哭" It's a word I learned when we went to Taiwan that means like someone crying!
I like the cute sound of it, kū kū, as well as how it has 'dog' (犬) in it~!

Question: Please tell us one of your favorite words or phrases from a foreign language.
Ocha Norma
Saito Madoka
好 (hao)
Since it's cute.
(t/n: 好 means 'good' in Chinese)
Hiromoto Ruli
Destiny
Yonemura Kirara
Miane
(t/n: she wrote this in Japanese characters so it's possible she means something different, but it's likely 미안해, or 'I'm sorry' in Korean)
Kubota Nanami
It's kenchanayo.
In OCHA NORMA we occasionally use this to apologize if we make a little mistake like messing up our positioning!
(t/n: This is similar to Kirara's response, but in this case Nanami almost certainly means 괜찮아요, or 'it's okay', in Korean)
Nakayama Natsume
ILoveYou！(sic) Merci
Nishizaki Miku
only one！
Kitahara Momo
It's "Bless You".
Recently when I went on a trip to Okinawa with Saito Madoka-chan, it's what a foreign married couple said to me when I sneezed! The kindness of wishing me well really impressed me.......。
Tsutsui Roko
It's 'No problem.'!

Question: When you like a song, do you first start liking it from the lyrics or melody?
Juice=Juice
Dambara Ruru
Melody
Inoue Rei
Lyrics
Kudo Yume
Melody
Matsunaga Riai
It's the instrumental…！Since I usually come to like something from the melody of the different instruments, I guess it'd be melody!
Arisawa Ichika
It's the melody!
Irie Risa
Probably both、、
The first impression to get me liking a song is from the melody, but the songs I come to like more after that are ones where I like the lyrics!
Ebata Kisaki
Though I feel like what gets me most obsessed with something is the melody, after learning the lyrics I listen to the song more while thinking about the lyrics!
And so, I'll go with both、、！lol
Ishiyama Sakura
Melody
Endo Akari
Melody!
Kawashima Mifu
That's really tough、、
but I think I come to like them from the melody!
The melody makes me curious, and then I get to like the lyrics too thinking "Wow! So good! The best!"
Hayashi Niina
Melody!

Morning Musume '25
Nonaka Miki
I make my first impression judgment based on the melody, but in the end it's the lyrics that make me like it!
Oda Sakura
First off it's the melody!
Makino Maria
Lyrics
Haga Akane
Lyrics!
The next point is the intro instrumentation
Yokoyama Reina
It's the lyrics.
I like them after thinking about the lyrics.
Okamura Homare
If I had to pick one it'd be melody!
But since joining Morning I've started often looking at the lyrics.
Yamazaki Mei
Overwhelmingly the melody♪
I suddenly think "I like this!"
Sakurai Rio
Definitely melody!!
When a new song arrives I always start listening to the instrumental.
Inoue Haruka
It's the melody.
But when a new song arrives I first start by looking at the lyrics. I wonder why.
Yumigeta Ako
Melody!
After I've grasped the atmosphere from the melody I read the lyrics, and I like being done in by that gap.
