Taken from H!O ,posted by Mizer :

Koharu’s name came up a couple of times on the GAKI-KAME Radio program of August 16:

Accents in Momusu: A listener wrote in explaining how her friends thinks she pronounces the word “Seventeen” oddly even though she’s from Tokyo and thus shouldn’t have an accent, and asks GakiKame how they would pronounce it and whether they have any interesting stories about the Musumes’ strange regional pronunciations. GakiKame agree with the listener’s friends that pronouncing “seventeen” with an upward inflection (“juu-naNA?”) is a bit odd. Risa then says there are a whole lot of accents in Momusu starting with Ai-chan. Eri recalls that Mittsi would talk about going to “ShangHAI” (accent on the last syllable). Risa says that her own mother has scolded her in the kitchen for saying “ENoki” instead of “EnOki.” She adds that Koharu says “ITtsu” (“When”), and the girls agree that everyone has their own accents that they may be unaware of and that in Momusu it’s a bit contagious. But “juu-Na-na” should not be “ju-na-NA?”

Questionnaire: In another segment the girls respond to a personality questionnaire (Eri groans at this, but Risa presses her to continue) in which they’re asked to write down the numbers from 1-5 and spontaneously jot down the first 5 H!P members that come to mind. Then they’re supposed write down numbers 6-9 and do the same for 4 H!P songs.

Risa’s Responses:
1. Kame,
2. Mako-chin,
3. Sayumin,
4. Koharu,
5. Kon Kon.
6. Koe
7. Koi no Dance Site
8. Summer [something??] Rainbow
9. Koi no Hana (a Nacchi song)

Eri’s Responses:
1. Gaki,
2. Ai-chan,
3. Sayu,
4. Reina,
5. Koharu.
6. Love Machine
7. Roman (My Dear Boy)
8. Kashimashi
9. Peace

Explanations: [Read by Risa:]
1. This is your beloved, the one you love [The girls laugh at this.]
2. This person very important to you
3. This person who knows you very well [Risa: “This is good. It sounds right.”]

[b]4. Kouun wo hakondekureru hito. [Not quite sure, but I think it means “This person brings you good fortune”]
Risa: Kohohoharu? Really?? Rrrreally?[/b]

[b]5. ?????? Anata no akogaidake ni???? [Risa laughs hard and asks something like: “Does Koharu have ____?’ Eri says somewhat calmly, “Eh, Koharu-chan. Koharu does have it.” Risa then says “She does have it, huh.”][/b]

6. This song expresses the feelings you want to communicate to the person you named in #1 [The girls laugh at this.
[indent]Risa: So how I feel toward Eri is in ‘Koe’—gross! So, Gaki-san gets ‘Love Machine’
Eri: Doesn’t that match you?
Risa: “I’m Japan’s future”[/indent]
7. This song expresses the feelings you want to communicate to the person you named in #7
Risa: So your feelings about Koharu are in “Roman My Dear Boy” and mine for Konno are in“Koi no Dance Site”: ooh-ha, ooh-ha.

8. This is the song that reveals your feelings.

9. You life’s theme song: [They both like this explanation as they’re happy with Peace and Koi no Hana, 2 happy songs.]


I’m baffled by the explanation for question #5, which obviously hasto do with Koharu. Risa starts laughing before she gets the explanation out and all I can hear is “anta no akogai HA HA HA.” She also has her mouth away from the mic when she asks Eri about whether "Koha has _____." :wacko: It’s somewhat frustrating, and if anyone can decipher it, this part of the talk starts at 13:35 into their broadcast. From the context though, it doesn’t sound very flattering, which isn’t surprising since I’ve always had the sense that Risa—uncharacteristically for her—was a bit resentful of Koharu’s popularity (at least before becoming Sub-leader). :(
