Now Morning Musume gets to see how weird, creepy and awkward the

No f*cking way! Another reason I'm proud to be an American.

As for me fellas, I literally jumped outta my chair and pumped my fist in the air like a master trained in the Wota arts yelling "SAYUMIIIIIIIIIIIII". There is a God after all!
