2. DP new member
Ken is asked,
what kind of new member does he like?
MM A guess:
A guy from Osaka who likes to talk, since Ken hasn't talked much today.
MM B guess:
A Brazilian dancer since Ken looks like Brazilian.
Ken's answer is [A]~
MM: who is the MC?
Ken: the guy in gold (yuki)
Shinobu: pretends that we are in the conecrt now...
Yuki: lots of people come! Ah, the next song is..
MM: Will it bring up the tension? (smile)
Shinobu's gaygu when eating pork: "Surrounded
by soft meat and soft clothes~~ juicy!"
Ken said the
name of "Yukinari" is difficult to pronuouce, so he always makes new names
for him, and he called Shinobu "Hello! Kohama!" because he is from Kohama!

The show was full of male audience!! (1500 audience in total). And they
are as excited as the female fans especially when DP sang" if" and "We can't"!
Shinobu seems to like a lot of male fans. Ken and Issa said they were very
close to the audience since the venue was small, and they were very glad
about it.
Tonight 27/10, the venue will be an all-girl University! The tour will last
til 16/11 in Kyoto. Maybe that's one of the reasons why the new single is
delayed.
