Please tell us what comes to mind when you think of summer.

What's something you make sure to bring when you're having an overnight stay?

Miyamoto: An attitude of not being afraid of ghosts.
Uemura: I take lots of clothes.
Yanagawa:Body cream. (Though I carry it with me when I'm not staying over too...!)
Dambara: My contacts and glasses.
Inaba: Since I generally have a lot of luggage it's hard to narrow it down to one thing, but my straight iron! Since my hair gets extremely frizzy, it's a necessary item.
Takagi: "Wataru Seken wa Oni Bakari" (All People are Nothing But Evil) (note: This is a play on the Japanese proverb "Wataru Seken ni Oni wa Nai", or "All people aren't evil")
Miyamoto: "I Want You to Discover Me"
Uemura: "The Life of Uemura Akari"
Yanagawa: "Fairy Tale Land". Since I've been able to have my dreams come true just like a fairy tale, from becoming an idol to meeting and being supported by so many people. Thank you always!!!

What's your favorite festival stall ?

Uemura: I'd be hitting both the castella sponge cake and strawberry candy stalls.
Yanagawa: Apple candy, cotton canndy, ice candy ❤ I like candy ones! lol. I also like the easy yakisoba ❤
Dambara: Chopstick rolls! Chopstick rolls are foods like okonomiyaki rolled on chopsticks, and when I heard recently that we only have them in Kansai, I was so surprised. Since they're delicious I definitely go for them at festivals, and I'd like you all to try them too!
Miyazaki: I was going to take my facial lotion and moisturizer from the washbasin to use in the room with the air conditioner on, and so I took them into that room, but when I went to use the moisturizer after applying the lotion, I realized I'd messed up and brought toothpaste instead (ToT)/~~~
Kanazawa: Leader and I went to the wrong studio, and so we ended up an hour late...
Takagi: I fell asleep kneeling in the seiza posture, and when I woke up I couldn't move.
Miyamoto: When manager-san got angry with me for making too many typos on my blog.
Uemura: Arriving late and missing our meeting time.
What's the funniest thing which made you laugh recently?

Kanazawa: Uemuu (Uemura Akari-chan) wearing five-toed socks without putting her toes in the toe pockets.
Takagi: When I told my mother, "Sayuki has sensitive skin, huh," she boasted to me, "Mama has strong skin!" What does having "strong skin" mean...? (lol)
Miyamoto: When there was some puchi-una (Kowa) in Uemuu's lesson shoes, and she was telling me with a surprised look, "Karin-chan, there's puchi-una in my shoes~!"

Miyamoto: Sponge cake (my ambition)
Uemura: Miso soup.

Kanazawa: Bread. There are times I eat rice too.
Takagi: Bread
Miyamoto: Yogurt
Uemura: Bread
Is your eyesight good?
Miyazaki: Since it's ve－ry bad, I always wear contacts.
Kanazawa: Since it's incredibly bad, I put on contacts.
Takagi: It's bad

Uemura: It's good.
If you could use magic just once, what kind of spell would you want to do? Please also give your reason.
Miyazaki: I'd want to become able to teleport. Since if I could teleport I could quickly get to a shop if I suddenly wanted to eat ice cream, and I'd be able to see my family whenever I wanted ☆
Kanazawa: I'd make myself a witch (lol). Since if I could only use it once I wouldn't be able to decide...
Takagi: I'd cast something to make me able to use more magic。→since this is the best possible benefit ♪
Miyamoto: I'd cast a spell to make me able to teleport. As for why, since I wouldn't be late, and I would quickly be able to go back and get things I forgot, and I could travel to wherever I wanted whenever I wanted.
Uemura: I'd use a spell to enable me to do more magic. As for why, it's since just once isn't enough.
Do you think of yourself as a boke or tsukkomi?
Miyazaki: I don't think I'm either a boke or tsukkomi!
Kanazawa: Probably tsukkomi?
Takagi: Though it depends on my partner, in Juice=Juice I'm a tsukkomi right...!

Takagi: I'd go to the past and watch over myself to fix my mistakes.
Miyamoto: I definitely want to go to the past and learn piano to obtain a sense of pitch.
Uemura: I would go to the past. I'd return to around my 3rd year of elementary school and study harder.
Is there an outfit from another group's song you'd like to try wearing?
Miyazaki: The outfit from S/mileage-san's "Tabidachi no Haru ga Kita". The shape of the skirt is cute, and the color scheme is blue, so I like the simple cuteness of it.
Kanazawa: I'd like to try wearing the outfit from ℃-ute-san's "Kono machi"!! I like it since it's my image color "red", and the texture and shape are cute too. Juice=Juice doesn't have many outfits which give a feeling of "Costumes!!!" and we haven't all worn the same clothes either, so I'd definitely like to try wearing it.
Takagi: The outfit from Morning Musume-san's Pyoko Pyoko Ultra.
Miyamoto: An outfit from S/mileage-san's Short Cut. They're frilly and so incredibly cute!
Uemura: "Seishun Collection"'s outfit.
At what time would you think "I've become an adult"?
Miyazaki: When looking at my graduation album, I think I've really grown.
Kanazawa: When I'm choosing clothes. Since my preferences in color and appearance have changed, though in the past I had lots of bright pink and white and frilly clothes, what I have more of now are more simple monotone clothes that have a calming feel.
Takagi: Even if people are whispering to each other right in front of me, I'm not worried about it.
Miyamoto: When elementary school members entered the Hello Pro Kenshuusei and I really felt that I'm a senpai now.
Uemura: I think it when I'm able to understand math.
You're able to see a fortune teller who's rumored to have accurate predictions. Well, what would you consult the fortune teller about?
Miyazaki: I'd want to see if I'll continue being healthy. I'll be more careful if I'm told I'll get injured.
Kanazawa: My business fortune. As Juice=Juice~... works toward our future, I want to find out how we should proceed. But. Without relying only on the result of the prediction, I'll take it like just another option up until the end.
Takagi: How long I'll have this face. Will it surely change sometime?
Miyamoto: What I should do in order to better communicate my performance. If there's some kind of charm to make my room not get dirty.
What's something you buy at the convenience store without a thought?
Miyazaki: Stalk lettuce. Since it's not sold very often, I make sure to buy 2 bags full if I find it ☆
Kanazawa: Karikari Ume！！！！！☆ I always go out to buy it first. I love karikari ume so much that I couldn't live without it. I eat it every day. I recommend the seedless karikari ume. It's the best since it's easy to eat.
Takagi: 210円 macarons
Miyamoto: Water! I store up lots of bottles in my bag...
Uemura: Chocolate.
What's something you want to do once in your life?
Miyazaki: Sky diving!!! Though it's a bit scary, I'd de――finitely like to try it.
Kanazawa: Surfing!!! Since I think beach sports are so cool, I'd like to try it just once. But I think I probably wouldn't be any good at it...
Takagi: Stay at a Disney hotel
Miyamoto: Bungee jump ・ Sky diving. Though they seem scary, I feel like it'll be a loss if I don't experience them.
Uemura: Buy a large amount of clothes.
What's something you make sure to do before a concert?
Miyazaki: Shout
Kanazawa: Do a cheer with all of Juice=Juice. "Yuka! Tomoko! Sayuki! Karin! Akari! We are ～ ・・・Juice=Juice!!!!!" This is our customary cheer.

Miyamoto: Sniff a pleasant scent, or put something on. I especially like the smell of roses ☆

Miyazaki: Special move: South Pole Class; Incantation: Nankyokukyonna (Note: this is a palindrome of "nankyoku", which means South Pole, and its reverse reading); Type of technique: They'll be eternally lectured by me (Miyazaki Yuka) about the South Pole
Kanazawa: "KanaTomo Sexy Voice ♪" Since I love to sing, I wrote this thinking that an attack which like charms my opponent with my singing voice would be good. (It's a bit embarrassing.) In the real world too, I want to sing so that people will be able to listen to me with a feeling of, "Ah, this is such a great voice".
Takagi: Behoimi (Note: this is a healing spell from the DragonQuest RPG series) → It heals when used. If I constantly use Behoimi, the battle won't end and it'll annoy my opponent.
Miyamoto: Karinrin 6-beam Cocktail Deathblow! I fly at them with a light-speed punch, kick, elbow, roundhouse kick, head-butt, and slap!
Uemura: "Catch Lock On" would be the incantation. It's a technique of clinging tightly to make them unable to move.
If you were a flower, what flower do you think you'd be? Please tell us the reason too.
Miyazaki: A tulip ヾ(･∀･)ﾉ Since my mom would draw one behind my name when I was little.
Kanazawa: A sunflower. Though it's a standard feeling, I've loved sunflowers for a long time and so I think this is the only one I could be! Seeing them grow up straight as they turn toward the sun is so beautiful, and I want to be like that too, so that's a reason. And so, rather than "if I were", it's more like something I aim to be.
Takagi: Sunflower →since they're yellow.
Miyamoto: A marguerite. I think we're similar in our smallness and whiteness.
Uemura: Chocolate Cosmos. Since I love chocolate.
Without being shy, please tell us something appealing about yourself that you've recently noticed.
Miyazaki: Though "Ra Ri Ru Re Ro"'s "Ra" is normally formed by the mouth as "a", I say it with my mouth like "i".
Kanazawa: Recently I've come to like the roundness of the tear bags under my eyes the most about my body. In the past I never really knew the word "tear bags" either.
Takagi: That my face shows how much I'm enjoying the food I'm eating!!
Miyamoto: My light complexion. You can say fair skin hides any number of imperfections, right ☆
Uemura: I have a good clothing sense.
When you look at the mirror in the morning, you suddenly go, "Eh~???" What happened?

Uemura: I want to be the No.1 smartest person...

Miyazaki: When I wanted to eat some shortcake with just a little whipped cream since I don't like whipped cream very much.
Kanazawa: When even though I'm already a high school student, I asked mom, "I really want you to come pick me up". I called her since I was lonely. Moreover, she came! It made me happy･･･☆ Mother, tha--nks！ ！
Takagi: When I said I wanted to eat hamburger steak and rice and mentaiko
Miyamoto: That the members quickly fawn over me and I end up talking about nothing but myself. It was like that the other day when I went on a date with Leader Miyazaki Yuka-chan.
Uemura: I thought it was self-indulgent when I just said "All right then!" since Miyazaki Yuka-chan wouldn't call me "Akari" even though I told her to since I call her "Yuka".
If someone told you that you're cute, how would you respond?
Miyazaki: Well I'm told by the members that I say words they don't really understand.
Kanazawa: I'd say, "No no no~". Since I'd wonder if people who honestly accept that really are cute, from now on I'll go with, "Thank you."!!
Takagi: That's not true
Miyamoto: Thank you ♪
Uemura: "No no, thank you," I'd reply.
Please give yourself a catchphrase
Miyazaki: I'm Miyazaki Yuka, Hello! Project's first member from Ishikawa Prefecture

Miyamoto: I'm Karin who with all my ability loves to talk and stands up again even if I slip up!

The Tokyo Olympics have been decided!! What's an event where you think you could win a gold medal? (It's also okay to choose one that doesn't actually exist.)
Miyazaki: Being able to guess between different pink colors!!! Like, "This is salmon pink. This is cool pink, right," etc.
Kanazawa: High-speed shoulder rolling. Since my shoulder joints are soft and I can roll them, if there was a contest or something to do it at high-speed I feel like I could do well!!

Miyamoto: Shooting pen tips at a desk!!!!

Takagi: I'd do it by myself! With enthusiasm!!!
Miyamoto: Morning Musume '14's Suzuki Kanon-san. Since she was doing solo skits at her audition!
Uemura: Miyamoto Karin-chan. It becomes a skit when we're grouped together.
