April 18, 2021 - Sayashi Riho to marumaru to #20
Guest: Mizuki Fukumura (leader of Morning Musume '21)

(They have been asked an email question about an interesting episode that took place after Riho returned to Japan from the United States; They are discussing their trip, along with Mizuki's mother, to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka)

Mizuki Fukumura: There is one

Riho Sayashi: fufufu (hehehe)

M: Right?

(they both laugh)

M: Well, there is one, with me, Riho-chan, and my mother (lol)

(more laughing)

M: The 3 of us (lol), and we went to USJ (Universal Studios Japan in Osaka) (lol)

R: We did, right?  We travelled there... together (lol)

M: Yes.  We had fun for 2 days, right?

R: Umm.. yes.  I don't really go to amusement parks

M: Umm...

R: I was worried.  I thought, can we do this?

M: (lol)

R: But it was really fun hehehe

M: So when we were in Morning Musume together, you didn't go to amusement parks?

R: right hehehe

M: What was it... umm... a cafe or something

R: That's right

M: We never really prepared anything in advance

R: Yep

M: It was like "Are you free today?"

R: The only one who was proactive was Eripon (lol)

M: Yes (lol) That's true (more laughing)

R: About going to amusement parks

M: The 3 of us (note: Mizuki, Riho and Kanon) were more laid back

R: yep

M: So, I invited Riho-chan to go to USJ with me

R: Yes

M: First, I said, do you want to go?  Or are you worried?

R: That's right hehehe

M: First of all, Riho-chan, can you go and have fun?

R: hehehe

M: Can you do it? (lol)

R: hehehe I was really worried (lol)

M: You were worried, but I told you we would stay there, and have fun for 2 days, and that I was really looking forward to it.  Just like that.

R: Yes, yes

M: You were really tired, right?

R: It was fine

(more laughing)

M: It was so much fun, but you're not really the screaming type...

R: Me?

M: Yes (lol)

R: Isn't that true about you too Fuku-chan?

M: I'm not a screamer either

R: Yep

M: That one time, with the flying dinosaur...

R: Yep..

M: It was like riding a pteranodon or something (lol)

R: You know, there was nowhere for me to put my feet

M: Well, that was the plan.  It was an attraction, and since we were already in Osaka, I thought we should ride it.

R: Yep

M: Riho-chan wasn't sure though...

R: hehehe

M: Right... (lol)

R: You're right (lol)

M: Mom didn't want to go.  My mom, I mean

R: Yep

M: She said: "Why don't the 2 of you go?", and I said "Since we're here, let's go", and then "Well let's wait in line, and we can decide while we're waiting" (lol)

R: Yep, yep

M: And as we were waiting, you kept saying "I can't do it, I can't!" or something like that

R: hehehe I was, yes

M: You said "Isn't it dangerous?"  But you did it anyway

R: Yes

M: It was so much fun riding it

R: Yes, hehe but...

M: You said "It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be"

R: I kept my eyes shut the entire time hahaha

M: hehehe Well it was scary (lol)

R: Yes, well, I was scared at first, but eventually I got used to it

M: Yep

R: When I relaxed, I thought "This is actually fun"

M: You know, it wasn't so much that it was scary. It just felt as if we were floating in the wind.

R: Yep

M: It was like "I'm a pteranodon now!"

R: You were (lol)

(more laughing)

R: Hey, if we go back again now, maybe I will feel that way too (lol)

(both laugh)

M: But in the end we went to the attraction I enjoyed the most

R: The rollercoaster?

M: Yep

R: It's amazing, you remember everything

(laughing)

R: When you said that, I thought "oh yeah, that's right" (lol)

M: It was pretty crowded or something

R: Yep

M: and my mother dropped her handkerchief (lol)

R: Yep, yep

M: And we had to look for it (lol)

R: I remember that

(laughing)

R: And then your mother bought us dinner (lol)

(they both laugh)

M: It was fun, right?

R: It was really fun.  We should go there again.

M: I want to go too!

R: yep

M: by all means
