I was surprised to see Arisa prepared the most Korean for her intro

Thanks for not notifying me about a week-old ask again, Tumblr. 🙃

It was certainly a pleasant surprise - but emphasis on the “pleasant” more than the “surprise”. Like Kinchan, Arisha’s actually a fan of K-pop. Check out the hobbies section on her Love Live! Wikia page:

She listens to K-Pop songs. Her favorite K-Pop groups are Girl’s Generation, 2PM, and Super Junior.

If you happen to recognize these names, then you’ll know that these groups are a bit old school by now. IIRC this information was pulled from old blog posts, so Arisha’s tastes may have changed.

What’s interesting is that only half of Aqours used Korean in their call-and-responses: Aikyan changed “Ohayohane” to “Annyeonghaseyo-hane” (a pun on annyeonghaseyo, the Korean word for “hello”), and Shukashuu and Suwawa read their translated call-and-responses from a paper. Arisha, as you know, did her call-and-response plus her character introduction lines in Korean! It looks like Arisha’s retained some Korean knowledge from her past as a K-pop fan, and it’s led to her marvelous fluency.

In fact, she astoundingly still remembered her introduction during the recent November niconama (nearly a week after the Seoul FMT). While Aqours was on the subject of Korean phrases they remembered from their trip:

Kinchan: Hey, wasn’t Arisa’s introduction done entirely in Korean?

Arisha: I still have it memorized.

Kinchan: Whoa!

Ainya: You’re kidding me!

Arisha: I can still recite it.

Kinchan: Really?

Arisha: “I like you who has fallen for my smile” in Korean is “Nae miso-e bbajin dangshin-eul joahaeyo”.

…which prompted the following reactions from me when I was watching the livestream:

You know what was so killer about that line? In the original Japanese version, Arisha says “a・na・ta”, putting special emphasis on each syllable for the word “you”. Very fortunately, the Korean translation of that phrase, dangshin-eul, happens to be the same length. Arisha made sure to put the same emphasis on each syllable accordingly.

I would’ve been satisfied with just hearing Arisha read the line from a scrap of paper, but seeing her recite it purely from memory, and with such attention to detail… _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):_

[#JP] Due to the earthquake that occurred in Hokkaido today, the Aqours Club activity LIVE&FANMEETING in Sapporo was cancelled. The SIF campaign (Guilty Kiss) will also be cancelled, and possibly released later when a new date for Sapporo's fanmeeting is set.

[EN]<LoveLive! Sunshine> The School Idol Group “Aqours” first time visiting Taipei wow-ed 6000 fans in Taipei International Convention Center

Original Title:  《Love Live! Sunshine!!》的校園偶像團體「Aqours」首次全員訪台 ６千人嗨翻TICC

As this is an article online, I will not be taking images from the website besides the one above.

Please refer to my policies for more details and do not use the translations for commercial use.

The contents are under the cut.

“LoveLive! School Idol Project” has the main theme of “a story everyone realizes together” and which is distributed through a wide variety of platforms.  The school idols “Aqours” from the series “LoveLive! Sunshine!, held it’s first Asia fan-Meet titled “LoveLive! Sunshine!! Aqours Club Activity LIVE & FAN MEETING Trip to Asia - Landing Action Yeah!!-”. The Asia tour’s final destination was held with great fanfare at Taipei (Taiwan) held at 10 February 2018, attracting around 6000 fans on site attending it! This is the first time that all 9 members visited Taiwan together to meet with fans. The members specially took time to visit the night markets, sampled their long awaited bubble tea, bean curd**, sesame seed chicken soup and other sumptuous food, whom they all felt were extremely delicious.

**TL Note: Probably the dessert and not the drink

 All the members of Aqours specially learned a few words of Mandarin Chinese and the Taiwanese to converse with their fans. At the start of the fan-meet Takami Chika (cv: Inami Anju) who was chosen as Taiwan’s image girl, greeted fans with “Hello Everyone/大家好” in both Mandarin and Taiwanese! (Inami) Anju didn’t let the fans down, and did her call and response in Mandarin for all the fans live on stage: “It’s nice to meet everyone for the first time, I am the voice of Takami Chika, Inami Anju/初次見面大家好，我是飾演高海千歌的伊波杏樹”. For Takatsuki Kanako (Voice of Kunikida Hanamaru) she instead shouted: “Thank you/謝謝” while at the same time hugged Kobayashi Aika (CV: Tsushima Yoshiko) on stage, the sight of every member being so adorably cute made the entire audience broke into cheers and applause.

As February 10 is Matsuura Kanan’s (cv: Suwa Nanaka) birthday, the members, in accordance with the requests from fans, wished her happy birthday in the roles that they are comprising! There were many fans who wrote in saying that after knowing of Aqours, they proceeded to know lovers and even more friends, and they even went to Japan, Numazu to participate in the events. All the members of Aqours even felt very touched that they were able to share this bond** with everyone.

Following closely with the segment “Drawing action Yeah!!”, the afternoon session had members drawing the subjects: “Golf”, “Baseball”, “Steam Engine Train”. “Otter”, “Frilled Neck Lizard”, “Ohara Mari”, “Gorilla”, “Rhinoceros Beetle”, “Statue of Liberty” and etc. In the end the subject: “Frilled Neck Lizard” was unfortunately not guessed correctly, but after hearing the actual correct answer, the members felt that Takatsuki-san’s drawings were well done, how could they have not known!

  **TL Note: Although the CN wrote it closer to “destiny” then “bond”, I decided to use bond as has a better context.

Afterwards it’s the segment: “Most Votes Landing action Yeah!!”**, the first scenario given was to have the members act out “I love you!/我愛你！(In mandarin)” in the guise of a sister that’s 5-6 years old against her older sister in front of the camera. No matter who it was, made the entire hall go crazy.

The second question posed to the audiences was to judge which delivery was cooler, the first scene was set between a couple with regards to a failed valentine chocolate. The boy would have to tell the girl: “It’s alright, compared to chocolates I would rather taste you instead. The scene was enacted with Furihata Ai (cv: Kurosawa Ruby) as the boyfriend, and she would have to enact the line in reaction to the different members with different respective personalities.

Another scenario was with Inami Anju acting as the boyfriend welcoming the girlfriend home, with the other 8 members as the girlfriend saying: “Welcome back”. Regardless of whether it was matched with “leaning one’s head against the shoulders” or “holding the shoulders” prompt, or any other prompts, every action was so devilishly cool that it rocked the entire floor and caused the members to keep saying: “That’s so cool!”. At the very end, Inami Anju was acting the role of the girlfriend, and said: “I’m home” with the other members before rushing towards them and hugging together. **TL Note: A segment where they had to act out certain scenes to get votes from audiences

Finally was this fan-meet’s most hyped up segment, the concert. Takatsuki Kanako said: “This particular’s fanmeet has areas/scenes where it’ll be done especially closer (to audiences), this is to let all the fans see clearly that everyone’s outfit on stage has slightly different designs as compared to the carefully crafted animated designs~”  They performed many songs in a row, the penultimate song was decided by the color of the fan’s kingblades, and the song decided in the final afternoon show was “Taiyou o Oikakero!”, and the final song performed was “Landing action Yeah!!”.

They shouted their thanks to the fans: “I love you!”**, and finally used mandarin to say to the fans: “Goodbye!/再見”, and brought the day’s performance to a close.

**TL Note: The TL mentioned that Aqours were “touched” as they said goodbye, but I couldn’t make it fit into the sentence. FYI please.

One of the fun things in the unit battle last year is the presence of the so called "spies" and the seiyuus reactions when they find them XD
