This is a preview of Next Year Yorosen from B.L.T Magazine (Dec 18, 2008) featuring Morning Musume’s Jun Jun, Lin Lin, Mitsy, and Gaki san as the sensei (teacher). It seems Jun Jun will teach about (Chinese?) New Year, Lin Lin will teach (Chinese?) Food? I wonder what Risa and Mitsy gonna teach. It looks like Mitsy teaching material is about art (CMIIW).
I am lookin’ forward to see how Jun Jun and Lin Lin gonna teach the other members, I mean, we know they just being around for 2 years, though their Japanese has improved a lot, they still have many things to learn before they can communicate with others especially for educational purpose. Well, Gaki said the other day that Lin Lin’s Japanese has improved a lot! Sounds cool huh? Yet Jun Jun’s Japanese has gotten worse (I guess she uses slank word a lot).
This magazine page also has review of Sharan Q concert held on December 6, 2008.
Jun Jun and Lin Lin also made commentary about their memory in 2008 (the yellow and orange box)

Junjun
I was very happy that we could tour Asia for the first time and play concerts in my mother country. I went to Hawaii for the first time on our fanclub tour! I sang a song solo for the first time. I was so very nervous that I confused the lyrics, but the fans were so kind and sang together with me. The Olympic games in Beijing were in 2008 too, right? We were having our musical at that time, but no matter how late I got home I still turned on the TV to watch it. In 2009, I want us to play more concerts and make more promotion in China. And since I’m already 20, I want to become a cool adult. Well… I don’t think anything about me will change though. (lol)
Linlin
I was happiest about the concerts in Shanghai because my mom and dad came to watch us. But it was a bit sad that they didn’t pay much attention to me and only said “The Morning Musume are so cute!” afterwards. (lol) Going to Hawaii for the first time was fun too. The Spam in Hawaii was so delicious that I ate it everyday. When I returned to Japan, I had eaten so much Spam that I feared I’d get a Spam-like figure. (lol) My biggest goal for 2009 is to grow taller. I said it in 2008 too and I only grew a bit, so I’ll stick to this dream. I also hope that all the fans will stay healthy and everyday will be fun for them.
and Here is Indonesian translation xD

Jun Jun (ジュンジュン)
Tahun 2008 ini adalah tour Asia pertama, bisa konser di negeri sendiri sangat menyenangkan. Di tour fan club, pertama kalinya pergi ke Hawai! Pertama kali menyanyikan 1 lagu solo. Karena aku sangat tegang, jadi salah lirik, tapi fans semuanya sangat baik dan kami menyanyikannya bersama-sama. Ada Olimpiade di Beijing juga pada tahun 2008 ya. Saat itu sedang melakukan Cinderella the musical, tapi pulang selarut apapun tetap menyalakan televisi untuk menonton olimpiade. Aku ingin di tahun 2009 Morning Musume melakukan konser dan promosi lebih banyak lagi di Cina. Lalu, karena sudah berumur 20 tahun, aku ingin jadi orang dewasa berimage cool. Yaaah, tapi aku merasa tidak berubah sih… (tertawa)
Lin Lin
Pertama-tama, diantar pergi oleh ayah juga ibu di konser ke Shanghai, sangat membahagiakan. Tapi karena aku tidak terlalu terlihat, saat ada yang bilang, “Morning Musume, semuanya imut!” aku jadi agak sedih. (tertawa) Bisa pergi untuk pertama kalinya ke Jepang juga sangat menyenangkan. Spam sangat enak, jadi makan setiap hari. Sampai-sampai aku berpikir, saat kembali ke Jepang, bentuk tubuhku akan jadi seperti Spam. Goal tahun 2009, pertama-tama ingin bertambah tinggi. Di tahun 2008 juga bilang begitu, tapi karena hanya bertambah tinggi sedikit saja, impian ini masih terus berlanjut. Setelah itu, aku rasa bagus kalau melewatkan setiap hari-hari yang sehat dengan menyenangkan juga bersama-sama dengan semua fans.
