Asai Ryo & Yuzuki Asako “Loitering Between the Lines of Hello! Project”

Synopsis

What kinds of novels does the girl in Berryz Koubou’s “Romance wo Katareba” read? What on earth does the irritated protagonist in °C-ute’s “I miss you” have to complain about? And just what type of pasta did the young woman in Tanpopo’s “Otome Pasta ni Kandou” eat in Harajuku?

These are just a couple of the first questions pondered upon by the pair in the above picture.

Loitering Between the Lines of Hello! Project” (“Hello Pro no Gyoukan wo Haikai Suru”) is a column in which writers Asai Ryo and Yuzuki Asako wander stupidly in-depth in discussing and analyzing the words of Tsunku♂ and Hello! Project. If you’re someone who sometimes finds themselves pointlessly speculating about their favorite lyrics, this column is for you.

The column was published bi-monthly in the CDJournal magazine from 2015 to 2019, after which it was renewed under a different name.
