[Electronicality]

i love jUN JUNS FASHION SENSE <3

[StarsInTheSky101]

damn i wish i was there :P how do people even know if a celebrity is going to be at the airport anyway or did the fans happen to be there??

[StarsInTheSky101]

@rockleeno1 to hid their identity

[wekawaii]

many ppl  screaming ai ,aika and risa so fun

[andy56duky]

awww i wanna see them so bad

[LacusCampbell]

Imagine if you were someone who didn't know Morning Musume, and all of a sudden you hear like hundreds of guys screaming...that'd be very awkward...

[SmileyProject]

i hope i can meet them someday......

[stuptempo]

.........

[snoiprocs16]

lol, American r like crazy watched Morning Musume XD

[sassizsissiz]

compare this to snsd. My mm is so much better.

[ambitious2012]

LOL I was in Japan last time i saw them in concert, I missed them in LA.

[DarkKyoTrace]

lol they must've been scared cause of all the fans screaming.

[rainbowsnow7596]

@DarkKyoTrace They're probably used to that cos they have fans screaming for them in Japan as well.

[ItsMeAndorraTV]

wow a little scary good that they have fans here but over the top!!!

[MaikonQ]

It's fun to see ur idols. but i think these fans are kinda overreacting :\.

[rainbowsnow7596]

@MaikonQ it's not reli overreacting since they live in the LA. So they would only see them this once and they probably wouldn't see them there again.... so, it's understandable.

[Zabeion]

i like Morning Musume but that was a little creepy with the guys screaming their names..

[qurathu]

i think they wear mask because of swine flu diseases . i don't mean that they had swine flu , to protect themselves they had to wear masks rite ? am i rite or wrong ?

[Ichinisan]

the masks arent for swine flu, that happened way after that, the masks are for the pollution

[silverarrow112]

@qurathu ehh in japan its common courtesy even if you have the sniffles to wear a mask.

[heyheyitsjane]

Okay, good for them that they have a fan base here, but I'm kinda creeped out by all the guys screaming for Aika and Risa.....

[GenyaArikado]

I'm going to L.A for the third time next year, and i think L.A deserves MM the most ! ^_^

[harukaX6]

wow!!! didnt know so many knew them over here!!!

that was cool

[XxPhoenixHarpyexX2]

damn fucjk why did that miss them, fuck amerika and canda, i was too far form california ! Why masks too?

Wow junjun have nice legs

[2animerocks2]

i was there....i almost fainted.........

[2animerocks2]

....what?!?!?!

[DemTerra]

I don't why this matters to me, but I belated realized as they were getting ready to cross the street that that's the same airport I always use whenever I catch a flight out to LA. lol. Kinda weird but interesting to realize that since I'd almost expect celebrities to use private jets rather than public airlines.

[xXOverkill]

@DemTerra Only the celebrities that can afford private jets use them. Just because they are celebrities, does not mean they are over-the-top rich. More celebrities use public airlines than you think. Go hang out at LAX for a couple days and see how many famous people you see, it'll stagger you.

[NanaSaotome]

come 2 dallas!!!!!!!!!!!!!! momusu!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AlucardsQuest]

Wow... Jun Jun's legs are amazing. Look at her showing them off!

[ImSpoiled1987]

I got 2 see them @ AX dey r so nice! dey made us all laugh :p

[JIGOKUSHONENKISS]

I anted to go and meet Koharu, buaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!

dumb crisis, made me lost my job and thats why I could not go!!!!

[TwoPrincessez]

Why was they wearing those masks? O_O

[AnimeFreakOtaku]

Maybe because of the swine flu...?

[RoflCopter58]

They're trying to copy MJ...no one can ever copy MJ!!!

[ItsudemoAibon]

Yeah, right. Japanese people wearing masks is copying Michael Jackson?

hahahahaha!!!!

[RoflCopter58]

it was supposed to be a joke but...yeah...atleast ur having fun

[forcethedoorstudiosH]

so people would not reconize them but they did

[Natsumi999]

OMG RISA AND REINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!

I envy u all who got to see them!!!! T.T Everyone goes to LA its so unfair!!! come to Boston ppl!

[benitoparra]

You should move to LA the, lol. But why are you complaining at least you are in the states, nothing comes to Venezuela never, it's so bored here =(

[ashleyfirstfan]

they are so cool. look at their fashion!

[StrawberryzProject]

Haha I love them!!~

[Kyoretsu85]

Dang I had no idea anyone knew or cared this much about them here. I thought I was weird for actually listening to them maybe once a year randomly. And dang, Asians do look alike... and I'm Asian...

[Jenkiigeltz]

Morning musume son lindas y muy sencillas!!!

[GingerOreo]

It's so damn hard to tell who's who. Only the more easy recognizable ones are sayumi, eri, junjun and koharu. I can't find which is ai-chan and reina.

[Aetas3000]

They have a crazy ass cult fan base in LA

[denisejoy19]

OMG.Everyone love Risa and Aika.

[kenlo77]

I'm surprised americans even know who they are. Youtube is about the only visiblity they have here in america.

As for the masks, Japan has a much more compact population. They even employ "packers" to jam people on the commuter trains.

The masks are probably a good idea in such a compact enviornment ... I am sure they are a personal choice ... and one most americans are not that familiar with unless there is a flu pandemic raging in our cities.

[klewis9995]

nice video!

[qseki]

i don like jun jun and lin lin

[gogomountain]

Why not?

[TokyoStarx]

haha i can hear people shouting "AIKA! RISA!" a lot

(:

[ramix2006]

American doctor don't wear mask?

[sterupinstuch]

They were probably wearing the masks because they were being over cautious about that bull crap swine flu. Square Enix was talking about not going to E3 because of it. The media made a huge fuss about it, that it probably got a lot of people coming here to be safe. Or it was because of what everyone else said.

In any case, I wish I was there to see them.

[jukijunk]

most people wear the surgical masks for health benifits. Expecially on airplanes where its much easier to catch viruses and colds. U dont wanna get sick excpecially if your going over seas to a foreign land. Im sure they all want to be in top health when making their appearance in US.

[hermankatnip]

Why the masks?

[eyeneticskiss]

avoid h1n1 i think.

[kinglynx]

if they have a cold they dont spread it, or if someone in LA has a cold they dont get it :P

[MaxtheMan]

many japanese people who have hayfever (seasonal allergies) wear masks like that to avoid sneezing in public. It's not uncommon to see people wear masks like that in japan, really.

[kangu254]

WAAAAHHHHHHHH

*0*

[usc2]

They were Awesome At Anime Expo.

[MeguPinku]

ke pasaaadaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

[ayachaniskawaii]

Aww... *.* Reina's kawaii smile :D

they're very kawaii

but Aika,JunJun,Sayu and LinLin why wear masks??:S

[ikuj28]

i've always wondered what their thinking. or what any celebs are thinking. Having to deal with fans and people yelling their names. They must get very annoyed.

[Booky42]

I'm sure it gets annoying after a while hearing people yell their names, but since it's their second time in the U.S, I'm sure it might have given off a different feel of international fans xD

[illusenrox91]

Not to sound stalker-ish or anything, but I wonder which hotel they're staying at. XD

[ItsudemoAibon]

Someone on JPM tweeted that they were staying in the same hotel.........but didn't mention which one!

I wonder if they'll get to see some fireworks while they're here.......I imagine LA was lit up tonight and will be tomorrow.

[illusenrox91]

Yeah, the fireworks give an American feel to the girls. But I heard that fireworks are forbidden in LA. :/

[riceavenger]

They were at the Westin...my roommate actually ran into them in the elevator there.

[FrozenXq28]

I`ve replayed this video several times, and I can`t see Reina.. are you guys sure she`s there? Also, have you noticed they kind of got in in ''generational'' order, aika jun and lin first, then kohary, then sayumi and eri and at the very end risa and AI?? i wanted to be there.. you guys are really lucky, thanks for posting this!! also, were there many people in the airport?? it seems like only a few were there, that`s a shame i luv this band!!!!

[ItsudemoAibon]

Reina was towards the back, right after Risa and before Lin Lin. Her hair is coal black now, maybe that's why you didn't recognize her. She was wearing all black and had a black and red bag. I heard there were about 150 at the airport and there would have been more but a lot of people were in line at the LACC getting tickets.

[adynmoon]

renai is at 0:32

[adynmoon]

i mean reina lol

[AlwaysYouu]

linlin is the last girl..aichan is the one near junjun and koharu..^^

[cutiesnsd]

can somebody tell me who´s the first girl(i think is aika but i´m not sure) the girl at 0:27 and where is risa reina and ai??

is cuz i don´t recognize much

[AlwaysYouu]

the first girl is aika..

aichan is the one between junjun and koha..(looking like a small kid in between themm..XD)

@0:27: this is aichan..^^

risa is the one behind eri..which the black hat..

and reina is after risa..

[dbesthair23]

They wore masks most likely like any other japanese would~

A. To not share or take in any virus around them ( Cold)

B. To help breath moist air, that's good for your throat.

C. Maybe just woke up from the plane ride and have no Make up XD

[lovemikichan]

I think A and B could be, nut C.....haha XD

anyway, i think Reina with black hairs really cool

but I love ERi~chan, i wish i could see someday, love her love her....^_^

[glasseyelashes]

from what i've read, the air was quit dry, so i'm think it was answer B. yay! do i win?

[shakiraluveryahoocom]

i think aika had a mask too

[Radomianka91]

Maybe somebody know

Why only LinLin and JunJun wore a mask?

[ItsudemoAibon]

Aika (in the very front) and Sayumi (in the middle) had masks on too.

[OkashiiAmerican]

dude, that was awesome! you guys were screaming sooo loud!!! That is the best welcome I have ever seen. I bet they loved. Great job guys! ^__^V

[willyjuanda]

[0oLuchiaChano0]

Super cool!!! Koharu-chan!!!!! ^^

[Tatsuguro]

Дебилы орущие

[createyour89]

come to malaysia lor... ;D

[leonheart00]

lol... for those of you who haven't figured this out yet. The shades and masks are to keep people from recognising them. It isn't because they are worried about having SARS. The problem is. in America it is slightly more rare to see people walking around with masks on and it actually attracts attention. lolz

[Phielder]

tbh I dont think the masks are for covering up :-) In Japan they were these masks if they have the sligthest sign of a flu... or, if they don't want to get sick. I'ts very normal - so i doubt it's for coverage.. then they would probably just wear shades aswell :P

[mykemech]

Besides, They like to be recognized

[glasseyelashes]

true, it's a bit uncommon to see people wearing the face masks, but for sars? seriously?

who really knows why they wore them. besides, unless you're an MM fan, they're likely not going to be recognized walking in LA.

[leonheart00]

I am not trying to start a flame war with fellow H!P fans. I am just saying that it is highly likely that they disguised themselves probably via orders from up front in order to avoid press photos or an unexpectedly huge amount of fans smothering them on the way out of the airport. I also justify my assumptions because of Kirarin Revolution, an anime about idol life which is tied into H!P which describes these kinds of tactics throughout the entire series. Hmmm...

[glasseyelashes]

you justify your reasoning from an anime? that's credible....... not.

did you see a large following when the crossed the street? i didn't. in fact, i saw a large number of people who hardly batted an eye when walking by them. had it been brad and angie, yes, they'd fall over themselves trying to get to them, but it's morning musume, no one knows who they are in the states yet. just the few thousand fans scattered throughout the states.

[leonheart00]

H!P had a lot of influence on Kirarin Revolution so I do think it is plausible. They all wore either shades or masks. Shades do not protect from airborne pathogens. Following my logic? Shades also don't do much good in dark areas. However Japanese are known to wear them in the dark, I will admit that. They certainly did not know what to expect when they got here, it is very apparent from Tsunku's blogs. Anyway, who knows? We should ask them! :)

[glasseyelashes]

it's not just a japanese thing to wear sunglasses in dark areas. i do see what you're saying, but if they were avoiding any sort of "airborne pathogen" all the girls would be wearing a mask.

i really don't know why i'm even arguing, when my main point was that you mentioned SARS, when that hasn't been in the news in some years now.

[leonheart00]

Haha, I think we have been on the same page otherwise. I will say this though, I can understand if some felt bad comming over and then the ones complaining of feeling bad were asked to wear masks just in case. So it all seems plausable.. I just wanted to discount the SARS ideas before somebody blatantly begins accusing them of paranoia.

[tonberrykid02]

As a fan, I can honestly say I probably wouldn't recognize them if I saw them walking down the street.

My first thought would be, "Damn! That's one hot ass group of asian girls."

It wouldn't hit me probably until the 2nd, 3rd, or maybe even 4th look at them.

[GAKProductions]

I can't wait! 8D

[iLoveReinaSayumi]

it seems that if anybody recs morning musume at the expoanime, it will be confiscated the camera, so we won't see morning musume at youtube =(, i read it at the expoanime ofical site, and it's going to be moi dix mois, yeah, i'm so sad that i'm not there.

[adynmoon]

what's moi dix mois

[iLoveReinaSayumi]

it 's a japanese ghotic metal band

[ItsudemoAibon]

LMAO! Did you see any of the videos of the opening ceremonies? When that Kei Visual band sat down next to them?  The look on Sayu's face is classic!

[adynmoon]

no where can i see it?

[BeiShen]

JunJun does this head tilt thing at :23 when someone calls her name out in Chinese~~ 8DD

[GenSL]

I'm soooooooooo jealous of you guys....

Those are awesome shots! : )

I hope you don't mind if I ask you a favor to shoot them as more as possible during their visit there? ; )

If only there's no flu and we can see the faces of those heavenly beautiful girls...
