I've been watching all these old redio shows and doing recaps of them for future reference so I decided it might be interesting to people who don't know Japanese. I basically wrote those for myself so sorry it's very random but if people want I could try to do it properly. I actually have more of those but I would need to rewrite some so please tell me whether you are interested in seeing more of these.
POWER COUNTDOWN JAPAN 2008.08.02
I saw a picture from that show and realized I didn't have it.
Man, it turned out to be much fun I had to make big pauses to laugh and write down the best parts. Plus Shou in that pink shirt~
There was a question about something like "in Doraemon, who would you want to become?" and they all laughed about it and Tora claimed "we're all thin!" Then Saga said he would be Nobita, Nao said - Shizuka-chan! XD He also reminded that Nobita always peeks when Shizuka showers. Tora - Gian, Hiroto - Jaiko, Shou said in one of the personality tests he seemed to resemble Gian, but he actually chose to be Doraemon))
I just couldn't help myself...
Later they were talking about manly characteristics and Shou began by: "when I was little I was often hit by cars" and the host was like, "Wait, what? Repeat it please (he reckoned he heard it wrong) and so Shou did: "When I was little I was often hit by cars. At 10 I was hit by a truck..." XDDDD
Oh, Shou... I was laughing so hard. So anyway. Seems like most of the times it was just barely so he would get up, say "I'm ok" and go home. That boy is too precious~
Hiroto, Tora and Saga were all pretty normal. Tora said he considers people who work hard manly. Like someone who's enthusiastic about their job and does their work fast. Hiroto jokingly asked "is it me?" Then Hiroto said his image of manly is a person who can apologize and complained modern youth lacks that. He then added in an old man voice: "Kids these days!" and everyone laughed)) Saga's image was someone cool and laid-back. Like he would sleep in late, and be all cool and careless. He said he liked that kind of person so Tora and Hiroto both asked: Isn't that me?) but Saga was like "No no!"
And finally it was Nao's time. Nao said: "Fans often say I'm cute, right? When I take a bath I undress and look at myself in the mirror. And when I look at my body I think: Ah, I'm a man!" XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
FM-Fuji NEVERMIND [2010-11-12] [Hiroto&Tora]
Even though the quality is poor you can't fail to see that Tora looks damn fine and he's been so charming here. And Hiroto cute as ever in this pink sweater. They talked about a lot of things but nothing of special interest. And there goes the talk of Tora the huge guy again. I mean, seriously? He is tall, but huge? So Tora complained he always hits his head against things and Hiroto's, like: "I wish I'd hit my head!" lol)). But I like how Tora always defends Hiroto, like: "It's not that he's short, it just that out band is tall." Aww~ Also Hiroto convincing that Mogu headbangs when he's on TV)) I can't really remember the rest now but yeah, it was a really fun show.
Beat Shuffle [2007-11-30] [Shou&Hiroto]
I really like Alpha time, Shou was so goddamn adorable. But the show was really hard and frustrating to watch since I couldn't understand half of what was said. Most of the time it was really hard to make out what Shou was saying so I kind of gave up on it. At first there was something about him having allergy and then Hiroto was talking how lately he's into washing clothes. Like, wow boy! There was a lot of talking about the album and stuff but it was very difficult to understand. Also I adore how the Japanese like to talk about seasons. It's really endearing. Also at the end as always answering questions from fans. One was about who's the clumsiest/awkward in the band and for some reason Shou began talking about someone related to the band and Hiroto was looking at him funny and then answered that unexpectedly he thinks it's Tora. Then Shou agreed "even though he's good at leading? and handsome" he's awkward basically. I can't make it out!
But I think what they were trying to say is that he can be really withdrawn and anti-social.
Beat Shuffle [2010-08-27] [Tora&Hiroto]
The interesting parts strated towards the end as usual:
The host asked about Tora's piercing like doesn't it hurt and stuff. Frankly this is the first time I heard him talk about it so I was really curious. Actually usually I don't like that kind of piercings but somehow I really like this particular one. I really think it blends so well with his image. So anyway Tora said it can't be taken out. Hiroto reached out to check if it's true it and Tora made to bite him! lol)) He also mentioned he's had it for over 10 years now so he's so used to it there's no discomfort, it's like a part of his body. That explains a lot.
Among other things Tora said he's jealous because he puts on weight easily and Hiroto doesn't. Also there was a request for Tora to show one of his impersonations. But of course he cleverly talked himself out of it. Again. The funny thing is, from the few ones I've seen he might actually be the only person who's good at it. I think that Onee kotoba talk he did in the A9 Channel was brilliant.
Reprimanding him about his blog. Again. Than Hiroto talked about how he eats tons of ice!? Especially in winter. Damn, kid. So anyway, when asked Tora said 'No, I don't eat it.' But then Hiroto slyly began to tell him how eating ice helps metabolism and makes you lose weight and Tora actually looked rather intrigued)
I already posted the summary of Tora and Shou at NACK AFTER 5 radio (Dec. 2008)
