Bon alors je vais reprendre mon projet de thématique du sport dans le H!P. Ce 3e volet se focalisera sur les Metro Rabbits H.P., l'équipe de kickball du Hello! Project.
Cependant comme à notre habitude, avant de se focaliser sur l'équipe en elle-même, voici une petite explication que ce qu'est le kickball, sport encore loin d'être connu dans nos contrées.
Le kickball est un sport d'exterieur créé aux USA en 1942. Décrit par beaucoup comme étant un sport hybride du football et du baseball, il est aussi appelé soccer baseball. Les règles, elles sont relativement si on s'interesse un temps soit peu au football et au baseball : Pour simplifier, le but du jeu est de frapper dans un ballon et de faire le tour du ground, avant que l'équipe adverse ne récupère la balle.
Les Metro Rabbits H.P. ont fait leur premier match le 19 mars lors du Hello ! Project Sport Festival 2006, face aux Little Ship. Elles ont perdu 24-3, malgré leurs 9 ans de moyenne d'âge en plus et leur mois d'entrainement.
Elles participent maintenant à de véritables championnats en tant qu'équipe à part entière.
Les membres de l'équipe sont les Morning Musume et les v-u-den qui ne sont ni dans les Gatas.
Membres actuels des Metro Rabbits H.P. :
* Tanaka Reina (1)
* Kamei Eri (7)
* Takahashi Ai (9) Capitaine d'équipe
* Okada Yui (18)
* Ogawa Makoto (22)

So, I'm gonna resume my project of sports in H!P. This 3rd episode will be focusing on Metro Rabbits H.P., the kikbase (kickball) team within Hello! Project
However, as usual, before talking about the team itself, let's explain what actually is kickball, which is not that well-known down here.
Kickball is a playground game and competitive league game, invented in the United States circa 1942. Often depicted as being a mix between soccer and baseball, it's frequently referred as soccer baseball. The rules are quite simple for anyone who knows a little the soccer and baseball's ones.
The pitcher bowls the ball towards the catcher, the "batter" kicks it with his/her foot, then runs to first base. The opposing team players in the field may either throw the ball at a runner to get them out or tag a base they are running towards. As in baseball/softball, catching the ball in the air after it is kicked results in an out.
Generally, kicking a ball to the right of the first base line or to the left of the third base line results in a foul ball. The specific definition of a "foul ball" varies, as does how foul balls are treated in game play -- some consider fouls equivalent to strikes (as in baseball scoring), others differentiate fouls from strikes.
Depending on the rules in force, games generally last for a minimum of five innings. Rules may also allow for either tie games or overtime.
A bad pitch that cannot be hit (outside the designated strike zone or too bouncy) is considered as a "ball". Four balls is a free walk to first base.
Metro Rabbits H.P.'s first match aired on march, 19th, during 2006 Hello! Project Sports Festival. Opposed to Little Ship, They lost 23-4, even if they were 9 years older to them and had one month of training.
They're now participating to official matches as an official team.
Metro Rabbits H.P. members are Morning Musume and v-u-den who aren't involved into Gatas.
