Sagami-Ono noon performance just ended.
Homa-chan was asking for life advice during the MC.Okamura: Me and three of my good friends at school would always spend time by the four of us. But recently, they’ve started doing so just by the three of them… (Homa-chan starts crying)
Ishida: To be honest, in this line of work, we all have to make sacrifices. Homa-chan, I’m glad you chose the life of a Morning Musume.
Venue: 😭

That’s just how it goes.
When you’re living in two different worlds your friends will change, too.

Ishida didn’t have many friends in the first place though, so in her case the damage was minimal.

Rather than Ishida, it’s Maria or Haga that she ought to consult about this.

Well, I’m sure she’s still gained a lot more than she has lost.

Seeing as Homa-tan can even talk about it during an MC, I’m sure she’s fine.

She’s got Mei-chan. She’ll be okay.

Whenever you enter a higher level school or get a job, your friends will change. It just came a bit early in her case.

I’d be totally fine if I joined the entertainment industry seeing as I have no friends to begin with.

She must be feeling genuinely sad about it.

But now you have hundreds of new friends who will come and shake hands with you…! (´・ω・`)

MC (Ishida, Oda, Okamura)Ishida: How are things with you as of late, Homa-chan? Anything troubling you?
Okamura: About school… It’s not that I’ve been excluded from my group friends. But there are these three people that I was always good friends with. But now… Recently… It’s… (Homa-tan chokes up and starts to cry)
Ishida: You’ve been so busy that you haven’t been able to spend time with them? (goes to hug Homa-tan) Everyone has to sacrifice something to be able to work in Morning Musume. I mean, most of our concerts are on Saturdays and Sundays! Homa-chan, thank you for choosing the life of a Morning Musume. 😢
The whole venue was crying. 😭😭😭
Thank you to all the members who have chosen the Morning Musume life. 😭😭😭

You become separated from your friends when you move up to high school anyway. It just happened a bit earlier for her.

When you’re a high school student, it becomes totally normal to be hanging out with kids from other schools so the attachment to your own classmates fades. But I guess it’s still difficult for a junior high schooler.

For girls especially, it’s the time in their lives when they most feel pressured to conform. You have to go to the toilet together with all your friends, you have to like the things everyone else likes, hate the things everyone else hates, you have to be able to instantly reply to messages on LINE at any given time… etc.

I hope you can make lots of friends in H!P, Homa-chan.

Daaishi is seriously so cool for being able to come up with words on the spur of the moment that could help both Homa-chan and the fans like that. (Or rather, it’s something she herself has also experienced, so I suppose she must’ve just said how she truly felt inside.)

She’s the sub-leader, after all.

I wish I could’ve lived a life where I had a Morning Musume member as a classmate.
16. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2019年11月05日 09:35
It’s so obvious how the people in the thread who were making comments poking fun at her have themselves not led full lives where they would’ve ever had to sacrifice anything.
17. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2019年11月05日 11:01
I was there! Ishida’s follow-up was great!
Do your best, Homa-tan!
18. ℃-uteな名無しさん 2019年11月06日 03:11
Junior high schoolers are still only children. It’s only obvious she’d feel lonely.
Daaishi is amazing for being able to follow-up on both Homa-chan and the crowd like that.

Ogata Haruna’s dad is a Haga oshi. But if it came to choosing a wife? “I’d marry Ishida-san.”
man…right in the feels..
Maybe it’s just me (probably is tbh) but that seems like a rather cold response. Objectively, she’s right, of course, but it isn’t really comforting or reassuring. Like she really just said “aww… thanks for choosing a lifestyle that prevents you from spending more time with the people you care about.” wtf ayu???
Careless realism costs souls.
Yes, it’s just you.
When Ayumin was talking to Homa-chan, do realize that she was not talking to her privately, but in front of their fans/audience. So essentially, Ishida was communicating, not only with Okamura, but with the wotas as well. Reminding the wotas, that indeed, a musume must entail some form of sacrifices in order to give their best performances for them, and also comforting Okamura that her sacrifices is well appreciated by the members and wotas. Given the circimstances, I think Ayumi gave the most appropriate response.
You have to consider the context.
That Perfect AyuMizuEri picture tho… ❤
“Daaishi is seriously so cool for being able to come up with words on the spur of the moment that could help both Homa-chan and the fans like that. (Or rather, it’s something she herself has also experienced, so I suppose she must’ve just said how she truly felt inside.)”
Spot on.
She really is experienced this kind of situation before. I remember she said she had only a few friends at the school back then. However, at the same concert she said that now she have a best friend named “Yamaki Risa”. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don’t follow MM like I used to. Just don’t have the time, but when ever I read Ayumi’s interviews I am touched by her thoughtfulness, and wisdom that can only be gained from sacrifices she has made. I have always liked her, but as I learn more about her, the deeper my respect for her grows.
This hits close to home. When I was a kid (younger than Homa-chan) my best friend Bill got recognized as a swimming prodigy. In no time we stopped hanging out because Bill was always going off to competitions, training, award ceremonies, etc. Occasionally I would see Bill with his teammates and some of them disliked me and he would avoid me when any of them were around (which was almost always). That got me mad and we wound up parting ways until around college time.
I never thought of it from the other side of the problem…
I feel like Ayumi is the unsung leader of Momusu..I for one cannot wait until she is the true leader
I’m looking forward towards the Suberi Leadership of the future. Those 2 don’t get much credit but it tends to be Eripon and Ayumin who you often here stories of consoling and scolding the youngins of the group
This makes me fall for Ishida a little.
I’m the only one that doesn’t thinks that Ayumi’s response was THAT cold? I don’t think Ayumi was talking only about the “boohoo being an idol is so hard” thing, I think that what she meant was:
1 – Yah, idols needs to sacrifice a lot of things, it’s better she get used to it.
2 – If her “friends” can’t understand that being an idol is important to her and can’t support her, then she’ll be better without them, since her career can bring her more happiness than being in an abusive relationship.
It may be just my imagination, but I mean, come on, her friends aren’t even trying. Her career can bring her a lot of things that are way more important than this.
Is there video of this anywhere?
This is an MC from the current tour, so it’ll likely show up in one of the next set of concert documentary DVD Magazines.
