The Reason for my Coupling Craze ~ Prelude

Hear me when I say this: 2:18-3:06 of the YouTube link below contains one of the greatest, most personal conversations recorded on camera in all the history of H!P.

… … …

What??
……Well, whether it sounds convincing to you or not, you’ll know it when you hear it. If you aren’t so fond of these two particular members, you have probaby skipped over this lol. But what if you have chosen to not skip over it? I wonder if you would’ve thought of it the same way as I did. And of course, all of the strange rhetorical questioning in this post and furthur discussion in the next post will eventually lead to clarifying the reason for my coupling craze (or trio craze, whatever you want to call it). Ponder if you will, and let’s start the video.

Prelude: Fujimoto Miki and Kamei Eri bits from Alo Hello! 2 DVD

Rough English translation of 2:18-3:06

Miki: (gentle) How long have you been waiting for the bus?
Eri: Ndo..about 25 minutes.
Miki: About 25 minutes?
Eri: Un…also, I don’t know when it’s ever going to come..
Miki: Un.
Eri: I’ve been waiting. Here.
Miki: Aa, really.. =/
Eri: Ehhh yada, yada~ this really sucks.. [or "this is really annoying"]
Miki: (gentle) What’s so annoying? [what sucks sounds a bit funny]
Eri: (childish) Nn, because it feels lonely~ waiting for the bus.
Miki: No way.. It’s going to be okay. If you can get on a bus, you can also go and see somewhere else if you’d like.
Eri: You’re right. But, (pause) alright! I’ll be waiting!
Miki: Got it! Sounds awesome.
Eri: Un.
Miki: Be careful on your way back–
Eri: –The ice cream tasted really good!
Miki: Really?
Eri: Un, the ice cream tasted really good..
Miki: Un, then take care okay?
Eri: Okay~
Miki: Okay~ bye bye.
Eri: I’ll call again.
Miki: Okay~ bye bye.
Eri: Bye bye.
