First off,
Ren-chan, I know I'm one day late, but...
お誕生日おめでとう!!友達になれて本当に嬉しいです。これからもよろしくね♥
Also, LinaHina-chan, Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a great one♥
Secondly,
Latte-chan♥ I got your letter. ARIGATOU!! I'm going to send you one probably next week, but it really sucks that I don't know if it'll get to you. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Maybe someone is stealing your letters! (.OoO.)
Kawaii-Oshiego-Josiiee-chan♥ I got your letter today!! ARIGATOU!! I will be sending you one probably next week because I will be back in school. The universtiy has a post office so it's really convenient. (.^___^.)
Now, on to the translation!!
This translation is pretty long because I tried to catch every word and the clip is about 11 minutes. I hope I didn't hear anything wrong. Hopefully you'll enjoy it. (.^___^.) I put a lot of screencaps (a little under 70) so people who haven't seen this clip, or do not download stuff can see what went on. My buddy, Paapuru-chan will probably be subbing the clip with my translation, later on. (.^o^.)
ザ少年倶楽部 - NEWSをあばけ!(Shounen Club - Expose NEWS!)
Note: All the writing in this color is random comments by me.
Nakamaru: Summer's special program, "Expose NEWS!" (Koyama says, "Yay," and Massu says, "Woh!" while the other NEWS members clap).
*Audience claps*
Nakamaru: Yes, since it's a hot summer, I would like to expose and open up, so as to clean out the air. The group NEWS is usually known to get along, but today we would like the members, without restraint, to confess the true feelings that they've had to keep silent. (K-chan and Massu voice their approval.)
Nakamaru: Okay then, NEWS, if you would please put on your eye-masks. (NEWS members start putting on their eye-masks). Okay, from this point on, I will be asking questions, and if your answer is a, "yes," please raise your hand. Of course, none of the members will know who raised their hand. In addition, voices are altered with a voice-changer, so go ahead and be brutally honest and say whatever you feel. Looks like everyone's ready. Okay, as a mike test, Tegoshi, please talk a little.
Tegoshi: (Very high voice) Hi~
Tegoshi is too cute♥
*Audience screams*
Tegoshi: Are you all doing good? (Nakamaru tries to hold back his laughter.)
*Audience screams even more*
Tegoshi: Okay.
In my opinion, saying the name of the person who is going to talk was not a smart move. As a consequence, now all the members know Tegoshi's altered voice. (.>o<.)
Nakamaru: Everyone is doing good. (Tegoshi nods) So let's begin. The first question is this…
Nakamaru: "I'm by far the hottest out of everyone!" Whoever feels this way, please raise your hand.
(Massu, K-chan, Shige and YamaPi raise their hands. Koyama acts shy, while Massu acts confident.).
Nakamaru: Yes, yes, yes. There goes the hands. First off, let's ask him. (He walks to K-chan) You were very fast.
(Nakamaru puts his hand on K-chan's shoulder and K-chan jumps out of his seat).
Nakamaru: Don't be so shocked!
K-chan: (Loudly) You scared me!!!! If you're coming, tell me you're coming. (K-chan's altered voice is very squeaky and comical)
*Audience bursts out in laughter*
Nakamaru: Come on, you knew I was coming. You think you're the hottest?
K-chan: What? Was I the only one?
Nakamaru: Yes.
K-chan: Oh… So about me?
Nakamaru: Yes.
K-chan: Surprisingly…
Nakamaru: Yes?
K-chan: Umm, I have a face that is amusing to some people! (Nakamaru laughs)
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: So your pinpoint is that you're amusing?
K-chan: Yes.
Nakamaru: I see.
K-chan: Hallelujah Chance!! (K-chan suddenly does the pose YamaPi does in his drama "Propose Daisakusen.")
*Audience screams*
Nakamaru: Everyone seems to be having a great time.
K-chan: YamaPi? Isn't that YamaPi? Wasn't that YamaPi, right now? (K-chan tries to make it seem like YamaPi was talking).
*Audience amused*
(YamaPi holds back a smile)
Nakamaru: Okay, okay. (K-chan continues on with his, "Wasn't that YamaPi?") Okay, can I have those who raised their hand before, to raise their hand once more. (Three of them raise their hands again, including K-chan. Shige raises his hand a little after. Nakamaru looks at YamaPi). Yourself… Oh, then let's pick you. (Nakamaru puts his hand on YamaPi's shoulder).
YamaPi: Me? (His altered voice doesn't sound so bad)
*YamaPi fans screaming*
Nakamaru: Yes. Do you think you're hot?
YamaPi: I think it has to be me.
Nakamaru: I see.
YamaPi: Yes…
Nakamaru: Someone earlier said something about, "to some people…"
YamaPi: Yes, wasn't there someone who just slipped back to the past? (YamaPi is playing along with K-chan's joke)
For those who haven't seen "Propose Daisakusen," YamaPi's character in the drama goes back in the past after saying, "Hallelujah Chance!" in order to change his past and win the girl he loves.
Nakamaru: Excuse me? Who do you think that was?
YamaPi: Hallelujah Chance!! (Does the pose)
*Audience screams louder*
Nakamaru: Okay, thank you very much.
K-chan: Was that YamaPi as well?
Nakamaru: No, not necessarily.
YamaPi: Not necessarily.
Nakamaru: Okay, I would like to go on to the next question. The next question is this…
Nakamaru: NEWS has the reputation for getting along, but "to tell the truth, there is a member who I feel awkward with, when it's just the two of us." Please raise your hand! (K-chan does the shy thing again, Shige raises his hand slowly at the same time that Ryo-chan does)
*Audience screams*
Nakamaru: (Nakamaru heads over to Ryo-chan while Tegoshi decides to raise his hand) Okay, let's ask him first. (Puts his hand on Ryo-chan's shoulder) You.
Ryo-chan: (Very cute and quiet voice) Umm… (Nakamaru can't help but laugh and Ryo-chan smiles as well)
*Audience screams*
Nakamaru: Yes?
Ryo-chan: I can be totally honest?
The way he talks is really cute♥
Nakamaru: Of course, since you will not be revealed.
Ryo-chan: Well, Kato-kun.
*Audience screams*
Nakamaru: (Laughs) You actually said his name!
Ryo-chan: Yes.
Nakamaru: You said his name, I see.
Ryo-chan: Yes.
(Shige almost smiles, but stops)
Nakamaru: A little awkward?
Ryo-chan: Also, I think being with Nishikido-kun is also a bit awkward.
(.^o^.) Why did I know Ryo-chan was going to say that?
Nakamaru: Oh, being with Nishikido-kun is also a bit awkward?
Ryo-chan: Yes.
Nakamaru: (Amused) I see.
Ryo-chan: Yes.
Nakamaru: Just for the record, when it comes to Kato-kun, is it like, when you two are alone, you have a hard time talking to him?
Ryo-chan: No, in all honesty, I just cannot talk to him! (Ryo-chan smiles and Nakamaru laughs)
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: I see. (Shige is laughing too)
Ryo-chan: Yes.
Nakamaru: I understand.
Ryo-chan: Yes.
Nakamaru: Okay, let's go ask someone else. (Nakamaru heads to Shige) This time Kato-kun's name came up… (Reaches Shige and asks) May I have the name?
Shige: Nishikido-kun! (Nakamaru laughs and Shige puts his head down after saying Ryo-chan's name)
*Audience screams*
Nakamaru: So… (Shige tries to say something. Ryo-chan shows no reaction) Being alone in the dressing room with him is awkward?
Shige: Yes, for example, earlier, I walked into the dressing room…
Nakamaru: Yes.
Shige: Nishikido-kun was the only one there…
Nakamaru: (Laughs) Yes.
Shige: So I closed the door, right then and there.
(Nakamaru laughs loud. Ryo-chan laughs as well)
*Audience laughs*
Ryo-chan: Oh.
Nakamaru: I see. This is the real thing.
Shige: (Smiling) He is a good person… (Ryo-chan laughs) But he is scary.
(Ryo-chan seems to have something stuck in his throat. He coughs.)
Nakamaru: He is slightly scary?
Shige: Yes.
Nakamaru: I understand. Thank you very much. (Starts searching) Can I have the hands raised again? Whoever has someone they feel awkward with.
*Some audience members scream Tegoshi's name*
Nakamaru: We have someone. (Tegoshi points towards the audience and tries to get them to stop screaming his name) Audience, please do not say names.
(Tegoshi puts his finger to his lips)
Nakamaru: Or else, he'll be revealed.
*Audience quiets down*
Nakamaru: Okay then, we don’t know if it's Tegoshi-kun, but you. (Puts his hand on Tegoshi's shoulder.)
Tegoshi: Well… (Hesitating a bit)
Nakamaru: You have someone?
Tegoshi: To be honest, Nishikido-kun! (Tegoshi smiles. Nakamaru laughs)
*Audience screams*
Ryo-chan has no reaction, and he seems to know who it is.
Nakamaru: Nishikido-kun's name comes up a lot. What don't you like about him?
Tegoshi: Actually, it's more like, since he is so cool, it's hard to approach him.
Tegoshi is probably being really honest here. On numerous occasions, in interviews and such, Tegoshi has idolized Ryo-chan.
*Audience screams*
Tegoshi basically complimented Ryo-chan, but Ryo-chan looks a bit sad. It's nice being complimented, but being told by, Tegoshi (the person Ryo-chan adores) that it's hard being alone with him… Ryo-chan is really sensitive. I'll give you a hug, Ryo-chan♥
Nakamaru: I see. That kind of aura comes out of him?
Tegoshi: Yes.
Nakamaru: I see.
Tegoshi: It's like, if he is reading a magazine, is it okay for me to bother him?
Nakamaru: (Laughs) Oh, so it's hard for you to step in?
Tegoshi: Yes!
Nakamaru: I see.
Tegoshi: Exactly!
Nakamaru: You have a really cute voice.
*Audience is screaming, "Kawaii!"*
Nakamaru: I understand. We're going on to the next one. The next question is this…
Nakamaru: "There is a member I have something I honestly want them to change about himself." (K-chan raises his hand) Those who have this, please raise your hand. (Shige raises his hand. Nakamaru heads over to K-chan) You raised your hand really quickly. Okay, you. (Puts his hand on K-chan's shoulder, who jumps again).
*Audience laughs*
K-chan: (Happy) I'm very popular today! (Nakamaru gives a soft laugh) Well, it's about Kato-kun.
*Shige fans screams*
Nakamaru: Kato Shige.
K-chan: The smile that he shows in his dramas!
Nakamaru: (Laughs) Okay.
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: You want that fixed?
K-chan: Yes! It's just simply too pleasant and…
Nakamaru: Yes.
K-chan: I get chills!! (Nakamaru laughs and so does Shige)
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: I see. Too good, so it's chilly.
K-chan: Yes. I get chills!!
Nakamaru: I see.
Shige: That is…
K-chan: Chills!!
Shige: It seems, he's told to do that.
Nakamaru: Come again?
Shige: It seems that Kato-kun is told to do that.
Nakamaru: There is a rumor like that going on? (K-chan seems amused)
Shige: That's what is being rumored, I wouldn't know since I am not he, but since it is written in the script, he has not choice but to do it.
Nakamaru: You're saying nothing can be done about it?
Shige: Yes.
Nakamaru: So that's how it is. (Taps K-chan on the shoulder) What do you think about that?
K-chan: Nevertheless, I get chills!
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: I see. You get a slight chill.
K-chan: That's the only thing.
Nakamaru: I get it.
K-chan: I'm sorry.
Nakamaru: I understand. (Nakamaru walks to find someone else. Shige raises his hand) Okay, right now… (Nakamaru sees YamaPi's hand raised) Hands are being raised. Okay then, let's have you. (Nakamaru puts his hand on YamaPi's shoulder).
YamaPi: (YamaPi speaks in a feminine way) Yes, I had one as well. (Nakamaru and some NEWS members laugh. K-chan asks, "Who is that?")
*Audience laughs*
YamaPi: Well…
Nakamaru: Don't know why you're speaking like a female.
YamaPi: The thing is…
Nakamaru: Yes?
YamaPi: Earlier… well… Masuda-kun was eating his lunch.
Nakamaru: Okay.
Massu: Yes.
YamaPi: And right after he finished eating, maybe about 10 minutes later, he says, "A little while ago, I ate lunch; I wonder if I should take some medicine?" (Nakamaru laughs)
YamaPi: That kind of thing…
Nakamaru: Yes?
YamaPi: How the hell am I supposed to know!
(Nakamaru and Massu laughs)
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: I see. Don't care at all…
YamaPi: You don't need permission! (Massu can't stop laughing)
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: Since it's something really small, you're saying, "do it yourself."
YamaPi: Yes.
Massu: However…
Nakamaru: Well… (Nakamaru notices Massu wants to talk) Yes?
Massu: Everyone… (Nakamaru walks towards Massu)
Nakamaru: Please raise your hand before speaking.
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: Go ahead. (Puts his hand on Massu's shoulder)
Massu: My intention was not to ask when I should drink medicine…
Nakamaru: Oh, this is Masuda-kun?
*Audience laughs*
(Massu glares at Nakamaru through his eye-mask, but he realizes that he's the one who made his own self so obvious)
Massu: I wanted to talk with everyone!!
Nakamaru: I get it…
Massu: Medicine was something to talk about.
Nakamaru: You wanted a trigger.
Massu: Yes, that's it. (Voice sounds really comical)
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: I see. Makes sense. Thank you very much.
YamaPi: However, however… (Nakamaru heads over to Tegoshi, who is raising his hand)
Nakamaru: I see a hand. Yes, yes. You. (Nakamaru puts his hand on Tegoshi's shoulder) Do you have something?
Tegoshi: Well… Kato-kun!
Nakamaru: Kato-kun? Something you want Kato-kun to change?
Tegoshi: NEWS has this song called, "I*ZA*NA*I*ZU*KI"
*Audience screams*
Nakamaru: Yes? (Shige seems to know what's coming)
Tegoshi: When we perform that song during a concert…
Nakamaru: Yes?
Tegoshi: During the lyrics, "Kuchizuke wo"
Originally, "Kuchizuke wo" (A kiss) was Uchi-kun's part. Uchi-kun was perfect for that part.
*Audience screams*
Tegoshi: He lightly licks his lips!
Nakamaru: Oh.
Tegoshi: Whenever I see that, I get chills!!
Nakamaru: (Laughs) I see!
(Kato-kun smiles)
*Audience screams*
Nakamaru: That part of Kato-kun gives you chills? I understand.
K-chan: We're in the same boat!
Nakamaru: Kato-kun, you seem to be giving lots of chills.
Shige: That also was…
Nakamaru: Yes?
Shige: That also was…
Nakamaru: What is it Kato-kun?
Shige: It seems he's told to do it. (Laughs)
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: Oh, you're told to do that as well?
Shige: Appears so. I wouldn't know since I'm not him.
Shige, Nakamaru already revealed that you're talking.
Nakamaru: I see, I see. That kind of rumor is going around?
Shige: Appears so.
Nakamaru: I get it. Thank you very much.
Massu: I got one!
Nakamaru: Yes, yes. We have still have more. (Walks to Masuda-kun)
Massu: One more thing about Kato-kun. You know how during concerts there is a thing called Accent Dance?
Nakamaru: Indeed there is.
Massu: Where we do stuff like "Don don pan!" (Massu does dance movements)
Nakamaru: Yes.
Massu: Whenever we do it, he always says, "Pan!"
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: Oh, I see.
Massu: Don don…
Nakamaru: Along with his movements, his mouth goes…
Massu: Yes. "Pan!"
Nakamaru: It goes, "Pan!" You want that fixed.
Massu: I would like him to stop doing that.
Nakamaru: Oh.
Shige: I can't do it without saying it!!
*Audience laughs*
Shige: I can't do it without saying it!
Nakamaru: I see. You can't get the timing right.
Shige: I can't help it!
Nakamaru: I understand. It can't be helped.
Shige: Me!
Nakamaru: I would like to go on to the next.
Shige: Never mind then.
Nakamaru: It's okay.
Shige: It's okay.
Nakamaru: It's okay.
Shige: Yes.
Nakamaru: The next one is this…
Nakamaru: "I'm the true leader of NEWS!!" Those who feel this way, please raise your hand!
(Ryo-chan's hand goes up right away, then follows K-chan and Shige)
*Audience screams*
Nakamaru: Quite a few hands are up. (Nakamaru goes to Ryo-chan) Okay then, you. (Nakamaru puts his hand on Ryo-chan's shoulder)
Ryo-chan: Is there even a doubt!! (Nakamaru laughs)
*Audience screams*
K-chan: Right now…
Nakamaru: The Kansai-ben…
K-chan: I know who just spoke right now!
Ryo-chan: There is no doubt it's me!
Nakamaru: I see.
Ryo-chan: Well, YamaPi has the title of leader, but…
Nakamaru: Yes.
Ryo-chan: In the end, he doesn't do anything for us.
*Audience screams*
Nakamaru: I see.
Ryo-chan: Yes.
K-chan: Hey! (Trying to get Nakamaru's attention)
Nakamaru: Okay. (He doesn't notice and keeps talking to Ryo-chan)
Ryo-chan: I have to get everyone together.
Nakamaru: Oh, so you can get everyone together?
Ryo-chan: Exactly.
Nakamaru: I see, I see.
K-chan: Hey, Nakamaru-kun!
Nakamaru: Yes?
K-chan: If I'm not mistaking…
Nakamaru: Yes?
K-chan: Wasn't that Kansai-ben?
Nakamaru: Yes it was.
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: It was Kansai-ben, but you never know.
K-chan: Okay.
Nakamaru: You never know.
K-chan: Yes.
Nakamaru: I see. Okay, who was the second person to raise their hand… Can I have everyone raise his hand again? (K-chan and Shige raise their hand again) Okay you. (Nakamaru puts his hand on Shige's shoulder) Out of curiosity.
Shige: Well, when it comes to Yamashita-kun…
Nakamaru: Yes?
Shige: Forget about leader, he is cool, so all he needs to do is just be there.
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: Oh, I see.
Shige: Yes.
Nakamaru: He doesn't need to gather…
Shige: And at times, I don't care if this guy [K-chan] is a host or what but…
Nakamaru: You don't care…
Shige: The guy named Koyama?
*Audience laughs*
Shige: At times, he goes around acting like the leader!
Nakamaru: I see.
Shige: However…
Nakamaru: Yes?
Shige: He's stupid! (Koyama laughs)
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: Is that so?
Shige: He is stupid!
Nakamaru: He's stupid?
Shige: Yes. It's horrible!
(K-chan blindly throws punches towards Shige's)
Nakamaru: He isn't fit for the job?
Shige: Yes. It's like, for a person that is stupid, why are you a host? (Koyama laughs)
*Audience laughs*
Shige: I feel like, Shounen Club's existence is fragile.
Nakamaru: Oh, you say quite a bit.
Shige: Yes.
K-chan: Okay then, can you do it? (K-chan challenging Shige)
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: Who are you asking?
K-chan: Can you?
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: He seems to be asking you. (Nakamaru puts his hand on Shige's arm)
Shige: I can do it!
*Audience laughs*
Nakamaru: You can?
K-chan: Not a chance!
Shige: I will get everyone together!
Nakamaru: You can get everyone together?
Shige: I can.
Nakamaru: Okay, so that's it, the questions are done.
(NEWS members take off their eye-masks)
Tegoshi looks towards Ryo-chan. Aww~
Nakamaru: Well, no one knows who said what, but everyone found out all there is to know. Okay, so it's the end. That was Summer's special program, "Expose NEWS!" Thank you very much.
