Long time no see~! ^-^
Bringing the translation of duet Apr 2010! It's the group interview, with the 5 of them chatting about Troublemaker & Ohno's new drama "Kaibutsu-kun" xD I'll do the solo interviews later :p
Scans credit to sng :) And a special thanks to my 'daughter'! xD
Arashi composed the theme song for Ohno's new drama!?
☆ Words in grey: my side-notes/comments. Please do not repost my translations & credit if using. Thank you :)
The first single of 2010 has been released.
Sho: Ehh~ On 3rd Mar.
Jun: "Troublemaker".
Sho: It's a very fun song, right from the beginning.
Nino: It's a VERY catchy song. Anyone will get hyped up listening to it.
Aiba: Yeah, yeah. And the other day, we were practising the dance steps.
Sho: No, we didn’t [laughs]
Aiba: Fufufufu~
Jun: We did, but we couldn't remember the steps [laughs].
Aiba: We will perform it for the first time in Music Station (aired on 12/02/2010). Sho-chan’s filming was done separately (because he was in Vancouver).
Sho: Fufufu~ I'm a troublemaker by myself [laughs]. Doing that alone, you really need a lot of concentration & you have to be mentally strong...
Aiba: But the choreography this time is very fun. That is, if you can remember them.
Sho: Right, IF you can remember [laughs].
Jun: This is unsettling~
Ohno: I can remember the steps, but I forget them immediately.
Nino: Isn't that equal to not remembering?
Jun: Yeah. It means you haven’t memorise it completely yet.
Sho: So every time we dance, it's like a game, whether we can remember the dance steps or not.
Jun: And this time, we're not sure how many music programmes we'll be appearing in.
Nino: Yeah.
Sho: As long as we do it properly during the actual filming, it’s fine. Though we say we'll be performing it for the first time on Music Station, we have already performed this song in Nagoya Dome, on the last day of our concert...
Nino: At that time, the song hasn’t been released yet.
Jun: Right, right. That day happened to be the day when the first episode of ”Tokujo Kabachi” was on air. The audience probably only got to hear a small part of the song during the promotions, CMs & etc. But I’m glad they were still very hyped up when they heard the song in the concert.
Sho: "Sweet sweet" [laughs]
Jun: This proves the song is really good~
Sho: The chorus right. It's very catchy. You can remember it easily.
Nino: The "Moving now, moving now" part?
Sho: Yeah yeah. It gets stuck in your head.
Nino: [Whistling the song]
Aiba: As for "Yurase, Ima wo", I hear it on TV very often lately. Since it's the song for the Olympics.
Nino: Yeah, me too~
Sho: How about you, boss?
Ohno: It’s really a suitable song for the Olympics. It has a very sporty feel.
Jun: Did you memorise the song properly? How does it go?
Ohno: "Yurase yurase yurase" ♪ [sings]
Sho: Perfect! And this time, the single comes with the PV & making.
Jun: How is the making like?
Nino: We played shiritori (Japanese word game) when filming “My Girl”.
Sho: I saw a little bit of the making (it’s still unfinished). It's really like a making.
Jun: This time, we got hyped when Sho did the ‘swan’.
THIS! xD
Sho: And when Ohno-san was pushed away at the end of the song.
Ohno: The filming was tough.
Nino: The PV right?
Aiba: It was tough.
Nino: Using screenshots to make an animation.
Sho: We still haven't seen the complete PV yet. So I'm really curious as to how it will turn out.
Ohno-san will be appearing in a new drama in April.
Jun: Eh~?
Nino: What drama is it? Tell us.
Aiba: What is it? What is it?
Sho: "Maou Returns" [laughs]
LOLLLL. (I'd really love that!)
Aiba: Really?
Ohno: Maou is already... dead [laughs]
Nino: Ah, he is? Sorry, sorry.
Sho: Can't he be revived?
Nino: Yeah, he's a Maou (devil/demon) right?
HAHAHA. Sho & Nino are hilarious xD
Ohno: Fufufu~
Sho: So for the new drama, do we have someone else from hell?
Ohno: Yep, from hell... kaibutsu-kun (mr. monster) [laughs]
Sho: Eh~?
Nino: Really~?
Jun: So you're acting as a monster [laughs]
Sho: "Kaibutsu-kun", we've all seen it when we were young right?
Aiba: Yeah, I did.
Jun: I watched it, but I can't really remember the story.
Nino: It was always aired together with "Doraemon" movies.
Sho: Isn't it amazing that Fujiko Fujio-san's manga is being made into a live action drama?
Ohno: It is.
Nino: We really didn't expected it [laughs].
Jun: You don't seem very excited about it.
Ohno: No such thing~ The other day, I received a letter from Fujiko Fujio-san...
Jun: Really?
Sho: That's amazing.
Jun: What did it say?
Ohno: ‘I heard Ohno-kun will be acting as Kaibutsu-kun, I'm looking forward to it’, something like that.
Sho: That's really nice~
Aiba: Yeah, yeah!
Nino: Hee~ So how far can your arms stretch now? (In the manga, Kaibutsu-kun's limbs can stretch freely)
Ohno: This much? [laughs]
Nino: Ah, so you have progressed that far already? [laughs]
Ohno: Yeah, for my role.
Jun: What about filming? It's going to start soon right?
Ohno: Yeah, very soon.
Nino: So you have to change your face too (Kaibutsu-kun can change his face freely).
Jun: That's tough.
Nino: What about your hair? In the manga, he has fringe right?
Jun: He wears a cap.
Nino: You’re wearing a cap?
Aiba: A colourful one?
Ohno: Yes, a colourful one. Like "Uta no Oniisan".
Jun: It does feel that way [laughs].
Aiba: And what about taking a mould of the shape of your face? You were talking about it the other day. What's that for?
Ohno: That's when I'm in Monster Land. I took a mould of my hands too.
Aiba: Hee~
Nino: It seems really interesting! I want to watch it!
Jun: Yeah!
Sho: Everyone has high expectations for the drama & we're really looking forward to it.
Aiba: I'm really looking forward to it!
Ohno: I'm glad to hear that ♥
Aiba: Who is acting as Hiroshi-kun?
Sho: This person (Aiba) really knows a lot about Kaibutsu-kun [laughs].
Nino: How old is Kaibutsu-kun?
Jun: What does he do? Saving people?
Aiba: He's the prince of Monster Land right.
Ohno: That's right. And he wants to become the Monster King?
Nino: And he went on a journey to train for that.
Ohno: Right. He went to the human world.
Nino: And he was caught by Hiroshi.
Aiba: Hiroshi's house is connected to Monster Land.
Nino: From the fridge right. He can go to the Monster Land from the refrigerator.
Ohno: Why are you guys so knowledgeable about this? [laughs]
Jun: You guys really remember a lot. I can't remember anything...
Nino: [laughs] I'm really looking forward to it. Like, who will be acting as Franken.
Aiba: And who will be acting as Wolfman. And Dracula.
Ohno: The cast has already been decided. It's amazing & it'll be really interesting [satisfied smile].
Nino: I want to watch without knowing any other information or 'spoiler'. So please don't tell me anything before the drama starts. I won't read the magazine interviews on Kaibutsu-kun either.
*smacks Nino*
Aiba: That's right. I wonder how the story will be like.
Sho: Won't you be appearing in lots of TV magazines?
Nino: Ah, looks like I can't read magazines for a while [laughs].
Aiba: "Ka-i kai kai" ♪ [Suddenly starts singing Kaibutsu-kun’s anime theme song]
Nino: So Riida will sing this theme song.
Sho: Kaibutsu-kun starring Satoshi Ohno [laughs].
I wonder if he'll be doing a solo again~
Aiba: "Yukaitsu~ Kai kaibutsu-kun wa~" ♪ [Continues singing]
Sho: [To the tune of Kumorinochi Kaisei] "Ka-i kai kai" ♪
Sho is such a dork! So cuteeeee! xD
Aiba: It's "dan dan dan" [laughs]
Nino: You could do a collaboration [laughs].
Sho: So "Kaibutsu-kun" will be released this Spring. Together with "Troublemaker" that is already on sale. Please support us.
Jun: That's right.
Nino: Excellent!
Ohno: [satisfied smile]
