Aya Ishiguro – Morning Musume “Morning Coffee”

First worn: Recca Con 2002

This was my first official group with USA Musume. I’d filled in for “The Peace!” at Fanime because one girl couldn’t make it last minute, and became a member after that. I was a huge Morning Musume and Hello! Project fan but had no experience singing or dancing and was very shy. This was a good song to ease me into the world of idol cover groups. It’s a cute song with very simple choreography, and the costumes were very easy to put together as well. We only had to make our skirts. This skirt was the first garment I’d ever sewn for myself!
