Inside the Project - Honey #1

New official group Honey was asked the question:

Q: You have become sisters with another Totally Up! Project member. Who would you like to be an older sister (or younger) for?

Below is Aly and Martha's response to this question:

D: This was super hard, you don't even know.
Purply, I would want you to be my older sister. You're so mature and fun! And really someone I look up to.

And for younger sisters, Botan and Hikki <3 I feel all sisterly and protective when I talk to them. Seriously. xD I love them both.

I want Aly as my older sister!!! <3333

And Ayaka to be my younger sister. XD We'd be a big happy family.

Inside the Project - Scout #2

Scout members are asked the question:

Q: Which member do you think is the most mature?

Below is the members' interactions with one another about this question.

I think I can be mature, it depends on the situation. If a friend needs me, I'm the most mature person you'll find, but otherwise I've got the maturity of a six year old. But I agree with Mariko.....Corsica seems quite mature....but that might be because she has Yoshizawa Hitomi as her banner and I always take her for being a very mature member of Morning Musume, although I love her. :P

Hrmm...I'd agree with everyone and say Corisca.

Corsica seems very mature and professional. :3

Um...Corsica is the oldest, I think? Logic would say her, but without having more interaction with fellow members, it's hard to judge...^^;

Inside the Project - Scout #1

Scout members interact with one another about who would be the first to run during an earthquake.

Q: There is a big earthquake during a concert...Who will be the first to run out? And which member will be too scared to even move?

Below is the members' interactions with one another about this question.

Hmmmmmm........ Being such a new member of Totally Up Project, I've yet to get to know everyone ^_^

But I think I may be the first one to run, either that or I'd just continue what I was doing, us British just carry on like nothing's happened :P

However, I do think Corsica would stay and help everyone and maybe Martha would run for the hills..... :P

LOL. Thanks Chibi Enma. XDDD

You pretty much got it though. XD Either that or I'd fall to the ground and cover my head.

And Corisca does seem like the type who would be totally level headed. I think Mariko would scream a lot.

Hmm~ I feel like the first to run out would be Mariko. Something along the lines of "lolbye". Corsica seems like she'd help everyone out first, even if it meant she would end up getting hurt. I'd probably freeze, since I'm never good at scary situations. XD

"Lolbye" yourself, Logan. XP

I was going to say that it seems like the younger members would be the ones to freeze. Assuming it's the middle of a concert, we're all onstage, which is a really stupid place to be in the middle of an earthquake, so I'd probably apologize to the audience, and then try to make sure EVERYONE runs to somewhere safe.

I'm assuming in this prompt that we are the performers and that we are performing in an indoor venue.

Unless it's obvious that there's an earthquake, I wouldn't notice it until someone else screams. My hearing isn't that good, at any slight shaking I'm experiencing on stage I'm chalking it up to stage fright and/or loud bass. (This means what whoever screams is doing me a huge favor, so don't be afraid to admit that you're the screamer!)

After I notice the earthquake, I would tell everyone to hide under the seats (if possible, and if the seats are sturdy) and/or protect their head with a backpack or anything of the sort. (Running out at this time would result in chaos and injuries.) Once the quaking stops, it's time for an orderly evacuation - usually the first earthquake leads to a more serious earthquake later on.

During the evacuation, I would personally apologize to everyone. I would also arrange for free tickets to a future concert be given to everyone on their way out.

I've changed my mind.....I like Corsica's answer :P

Inside the Project - Star!U #2

Original Star!U members reveal their real-life rivals.

Q: What's your recurring nemesis?

Below is the members' responses when asked this question.

Internet disconnections. ;w; They shall be the death of me, for they keep coming back to torture me every two minutes.

My everlasting cold .-. I have to deal with it almost 365 days of a year .-.

-Purply

Inside the Project - Kawaii-Sono #2

Molly and Awai tell us what they do to stay awake when they can't afford to go back to sleep.

Q: What do you do if you feel sleepy, but can't afford to sleep?

Below is the members' responses when asked this question.

I'd sleep anyway!

I think of something exciting!! Something worth staying up for!

-Purply

Inside the Project - Tiara #1

New Twilight Legend subgroup Tiara discusses what hairstyles they wear in concert with Twilight Legend.

Q: How do you decide what hairdo to use during concerts?

Below is the members' responses when asked this question. All members were able to answer this question.

My hair is super straight, so I usually keep it down or tie it in a side pony tail =).
When I tie it, it tends to spike up since my hair is straight... kinda like a porcupine. XD

Leave it the way it is, down and curly. Or pigtails if I'm in a good mood~ :P

I usually just keep my hair down and straight... I'm too lazy to do something to it, even during concerts. XD It's too much work since my hair is really long.~ So it's no problem for me to decide what to do with it! :D

-Purply

Inside the Project - Twilight Legend #2

Four Twilight Legend members have catch phrases or most of them do anyway.

Q: What is your catch-phrase? In my case, it's "the serious handsome guy."

Below is the members' responses when confronted with this question.

That's cool. I use that as a response when I tune out of a conversation especially if I am daydreaming. Or Really! That's a popular one of mine.

My catch phrase is "You love me really" or "You love me anyway." I dunno, but I say it when I've teased someone or made a bad joke and they groan and call me annoying and I reply with this. >< Yes, I'm a big kid but it's fun. ^ ^

I'm kinda confused about the question. Why is "the serious handsome guy" a catch-phrase? Or am I just retarded...LOL

My catch phrase is...
"It's Happiness" is usually the response to some question that I really don't feel like answering. Like, what's for lunch? Happiness. Why are we going downtown? It's Happiness.

-Purply

Inside the Project - Urban Promise #2

Four members of Urban Promise were asked why they were not able to eat that dinner that night.

Q: "No dinner for you today!" What did you do to deserve this?

Below is the members' responses when confronted with this question starting with Urban Promise Leader Angelfirebabe.

Chatting to people on msn and looking on project forums XD

Went on too much computer =A=;
Or the typical asian parent: "GO STUDY" ;>

I had too many snacks during the day ><

~ Boo ~ No Image Avaliable
If I had a HUGE lunch and on top of that had like ten million snacks in-between then my mom would tell me "I know you're not hungry, and its not healthy to over eat."

-Purply

Inside the Project - SWEET Delight #2

SWEET Delight members: Ayaka and Molly answered a question to see which anime character they wanted to become.

Q: If a witch appeared before you and gave you the chance to become an anime character for one day, what would you choose?

Below is the members' responses when confronted with this question starting with SWEET Delight Sub-Leader Molly.

Hello Kitty! She's so cute and everyone loves her.

Sailor Moon! I have always wanted to have powers to defeat the evil.

-Purply

Inside the Project - Sparkle Society #2

Inside the Project is a segment where we ask members from Totally Up! Project questions and they answer them. It gives others more insight into the fun natures of our members. Sparkle Society returns to be questioned with their new official member BanryuSaint in tow. BanryuSaint is a recent graduate of the ex-J-unior SWEET subgroup, Biscuit ROUGE, and is excited to be joining the lineup of Sparkle Society. 4 members, including Leader Eva, were asked this question:

Q: If you become lonely, what do you do to remedy the situation?

Below is their responses.

Sing! what else? :3

Probably sleep or eat ;P

Hmm... I would probably either turn on some music and start dancing like some crazy person XD , watch anime, get creative like draw or photoshop etc, read either magazines or books, watch some TV, play games or sleep it off! I don't usually ask anyone for I'm afraid I would disturb them >_<

Hm..I would probably see if one of my friends would want to talk or hang out..If not, I would entertain myself by talking to my cat or listen to music and sing along with it~

Inside the Project - Biscuit ROUGE #2

Inside the Project is a segment where we ask members from Totally Up! Project questions and they answer them. It gives others more insight into the fun natures of our members. Biscuit ROUGE gets a special edition on Inside the Project due to their recent graduation as a group within Totally Up! Project. They will have three releases before they officially disband. 5 members were able to answer the question:

Q: Is there anything you would like to ask the other members, but you can't, and it bothers you?

Below is the members' responses when asked this question starting with Leader Corsica.

It's really hard for me to ask for extensions when my recording time is interrupted by my abusive mother.

My mother screams every day - it's just a question of when. And sadly, she's more likely to scream at/about me than when I'm not at home. If she screams during my recording time, there's no way I can record lines without the computer picking up the screaming.

I don't lie about it though; I just ask for an extension. But I feel really awful because I had booked time for me to record in my busy schedule, and now I'm letting everyone down because there is no way to sing without the mic picking up her screaming.

Honestly, I had to think hard about my answer. This group as a whole has been good with addressing dubbing-related issues directly.

I agree with Hikki-chan!~ I think everyone in this group is open!~ Although I think I would feel a little weird asking personal-ish kinds of questions XD

I agree with everyone else. I think are really open to one another and for myself personal I know I can come to anyone if something comes up.

Nahh~ I feel that everyone is pretty open in this group. So I feel like I can ask them anything <33 Well....anything that is appropriate and relevant to this group! > w <
