Talk 
Nonaka : Hello everyone, we are...
All : Morning Musume。'19!
MC : Perfecty in synchronization. Your performances always pack a punch with intense dancing.
Fukumura : We performed at a rock festival this year, and they called us "endurance monsters". We're just dancing with all our might, but we get nicknames like that. We also performed in Houston at a convention. We started out with about 2.000 people. Maybe it was rare for a girl group to sing and dance a lot. In the end, we had more than 6.000 people. We had a great time !
MC : You really appealed to the locals.
Fukumura : We were thrilled.
Kaga : We also performed in Mexico. When we were backstage, we heard something from the stage area. The audiance was singing our songs all together like a chorus.
MC : In the original Japanese?
Kaga : Yes! They sang up until the concert started, for almost an hour.
MC : Our fans are endurance monsters too!
All : They are (laughs)!

MC : Pretty unique. They started singing on their own! Oda-san, what have you learned performing abroad?
Oda : Our producer Tsunku♂, told us to sing to a 16-beat rhythm. We didn't get it, so he said, "Feel the groove.", "You're not feeling it", I just coulnd't grasp what he meant. But when we performed in New York in 2014, everyone was really grooving to the music. Seeing them get into it like that, I thought "So that's how you do it!". I knew how rhythm worked, but now my body feels it too. I learned a lot from that.
MC : They get it because of your enthusiasm.
Oda : We're glad. 

MC : Like today, that enthusiasm reached a fan just over here.
Fan : I'm Maria from Peru.
Makino : I'm Maria from Japan (laughs).
Fan : I have something special to say. I became a fan 10 years ago, I was in my early 20s and not so bright. When I saw saw the former members, they were young, happy, and bright, I thought "maybe being young is being like them". I changed my mind.
MC : Music truly overcomes borders like that.

MC : Yokoyama-san, to wrap up, tell us your international goals.
Yokoyama : We're aiming for a would tour! We would like to show our appeal to more people throughout the world. We will work hard to make it possible.
MC : We wish you luck!
