As a sort of follow-up to misa’s post on saving Hello! Party, I wanted to let you all know that members of International Wota will be attending Anime Expo as members of the press. Myself, johpan and CK will be IW’s official ambassadors (Amy should be part of this list, but unfortunately, you have to be 18 to qualify as press) and as press, we will have the chance to interview Morning Musume, Tsunku and any other guest of honour that may tickle our fancy.
Knowing this, we’re asking you, the readers of IW, for any questions that you may want to ask any of the guest of honours at Anime Expo. The convention is in 3 weeks, so time’s ticking. Keep in mind that no interview is guaranteed, but we’re going to do our darndest to get some time with the flagship of Hello! Project and if we do, we will do our best to incorporate reader questions into any interview we are able to get.
So, with that said, please head on over to wotatalk with any questions you may have for Morning Musume, Tsunku or any other guest of honour you think would be worth our time interviewing.

BAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW I’m not press T_T. I’m still hoping to see everyone at AX as a regular attendee though! How about we get some replies here for people who are attending so I can get an idea of who we’ll see

I think we could expand SacredCultivator’s question to encompass all kinds of work fans produce based on original material released by the artists, like OPVs, remixes, fandubs, etc.

Oh, you have to ask Tsunku♂ about his fascination with weird punctuation, particularly extraneous symbols in his own name, in “Hello! Project”, and in most of the groups’ names. Some other J-music groups play around with punctuation, but Tsunku♂ takes it to another level. In particular, I’d like to know what Tsunku♂ thinks the 。 in Morning Musume。 means.
