Bay Storm 07.10.21
I decided to do the most recent Bay Storm instead of old ones this time since Nino played a special song this week.

- The opening word comes from a fan who asks him to comment on his Jweb*. She was really depressed when he said that Game Nikki was ending, but then of course when Game Nikki X started the next day she was really happy. Nino says he had originally planned to do it on his 500th entry - he'd notice a lot of other JE members doing special things for their Some-hundredth entry anniversary so he wanted to as well. Then the 500th entry passed by accident so he changed it to the 1000th. He compares the sadness of ending Game Nikki to the sadness of finishing a video game. Recently he finished a role playing game that he'd put 60+ hours into. He says that lately on roleplaying games the name of the main character is already decide so that might lower his sense of accomplishment.**
- The first question in the "Please, DJ Ninomiya" corner is from Listener-With-Unecessarily-Long-Pen-Name. She has bad sleeping habits (i.e. moves around a lot in the bed, etc) and has trouble waking up. A friend told her that when she tried to wake her up, she said "Shut up" in her sleep. She's heard that Nino has amazing sleeping habits, so she wants to know if he has good or bad sleeping posture. Nino asks STBY about his habits - STBY says he's bad at waking up, but he's got good sleeping posture and surprisingly he doesn't snore. Nino asks why surprisingly? Like even though you're fat? (LOL) Nino says he sleeps on his side. Around his 2nd year of middle school, a teacher told him to sleep that way because of his bad posture. He's also pretty good at waking up. Lately he's been waking up around 8:00-8:30, no matter what time he goes to bed. He wonders why, sinc he doesn't have as much work and he should be getting sleep.
- The second question is from Listener-With-Unecessarily-Long-Pen-Name 2. At school she has two friends that she usually hangs out with, but lately when the three of them are all together, it's started to feel like 2 against 1. The two of them were friends since middle school, but she became friends with them in high school, so she can feel the gap between their friendship with each other and with her. It seems like they'd rather hang out together than with her. She has different hobbies than them and feels like they don't understand each other. She wants to know if it would be better for her to stop being friends with them. Nino starts to answer her by talking about how he didn't really have friends in high school and then his phone goes off and he gets all pissed at it because he thought he turned it off. He goes on a rant for a while about his troubles with his phone's battery and wonders if he should get a new one, or just get a new battery. He never answers her ahaha XD
- Next question is from "Baka and Doji" (oh, so witty they are, Nino's listeners). In this person's room things keep dissapearing. It's not that they're messy and just lose things, and lots of stuff has been disspearing - the lyrics card in CDs, manga, even clothes. What's weird is the things pop up in places you'd never put them, like the bathroom or the entry way. Is it possible that she's putting these things there without realizing? Nino says what always happens to him is he'll lose something at the house like the remote control, a manga, etc, and then he'll go to the store and buy a new one. Then as soon as he gets back he'll find the item that was lost. He's surprised this doesn't happen to the radio staff.
- The next listener writes about her son who's in kindergarten. She says he either wants to become a pilot or Aiba when he grows up (LOL). She thinks his character is totally different from Aiba's (what. he's in kindergarten.) so that won't happen, but he won't give up. Nino suggests that she explain to him how much harder it would be to become Aiba than a pilot (uhh..).
- Next is the Ura Arashi corner. The first part is kind of boring, but Nino tells one story that was kind of funny - Ohno forgot his phone while he was out with someone, and the person he was out with called Nino to say Ohno had left his phone and to please take it to him the next day at about 4 in the morning XD Nino was like "what. i'm sleeping."
- The next listener writes in about the Tokyo Dome concert. This person went with their EIGHTY YEAR OLD GRANDFATHER. WHAT XD Grandpa thought Jun's bungee thing looked pretty scary.
This person (They're saying 'ore' so I think it's a guy? What is this family!?) says he'd like to try, but he was wondering if there was anyone in arashi scared of heights (?). Nino says Sho-kun - when they rehearsed the reverse bungee thing for the concert, Sho said he didn't want to practice. They encouraged him to practice, since he'd have to do it in the performance anyway. Sho was like "nah it's cool I'll do it in the performance but not now though." So on the first day at Osaka he did it, even though he was scared. Nino thinks its because all of the fans are there so he has to.
- Nino then plays a song he meant to play last week but wasn't able to. He says it's his favorite song on the Time album - It's his cover of Aiba's solo, Friendship. I went ahead and cut this from the show, though I know its up already some other places. Enjoy!

- After the song is over Nino talks about it a little. He has this friend named Yamahira-san. This fried played the Er Hu in the song. Yamahira-san has also played Er Hu in the song he did as a duet with Jun in the concert Ohmiya SK first appeared (that's exactly how he describes it, like he forgot the name of his own song XD). Yamahira-san plays in KinKi Kids' Harmony of December too. He (?) sent Nino about ten different patterns and allowed Nino to pick from them for his song.
*Probably most Nino fans know this, but just in case someone new comes along and reads this I figured I should make a note. Jweb is a service available in Japan for 300yen a month in which fans can sign up to recieve blog entries from Johnny's members on their cell phones. Not all JE boys have their own blog, and some who do only update randomly. Nino has had one for quite some time called "Game Nikki (Game Diary)" which he updates every day. Recently, on his 1000th entry Nino announced that he would be ending Game Nikki. Fans were pretty upset, but the very next day he started a new diary "Game Nikki X" which is essentially the exact same thing XD
** I'm not entirely sure if I translated this correctly, but I think he's referring to a statement he made on TV recently. Nino likes to replace the name of the hero with "Kazunari" so that when the hero saves the world the other characters will be like "Thank you Kazunari!!" and it makes him feel good XD
As always, corrections or comments are much appreciated!
