[2007.04.25] Arashi’s All Night Nippon - Part I
2-hr radio show All Night Nippon hosted by Ohno Satoshi and Sakurai Sho. With the harmonious dynamic of this duo, the Big Brothers’ Team showed how they’ve got each others’ backs working together since they were the oldest and covering for the younger members who were underage when they first debuted. Having both touching and funny elements, they also did quizzes asked by the other 3 members, shared some “Kiiroi Namida” stories, discussed about listeners’ dreams, and their own dreams as Arashi. Warning: VERY long. (the “2-hr” should serve as a tip-off I suppose XD) I do not provide audio tracks. Please do not repost any part of this translation without permission.
Sakurai: Good evening. I’m Arashi’s Sakurai Sho.
Ohno: I’m Ohno.
Sakurai: (imitating) I’m Aiba Masaki!
Ohno: (imitating) I’m Matsumoto Jun.
Sakurai: (imitating) I’m Ninomiya Kazunari.
Ohno: We don’t sound like them at all~ (laugh)
Sakurai: Hm? Something’s wrong (laugh). Something’s off right? Satoshi-kun, let’s do this again.
Ohno: Good evening~ I’m Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi.
Sakurai: I’m Sakurai Sho.
Ohno: I’m Shimura Zoo.
Sakurai: I’m Bambino.
Ohno: I’m Hollywood Silver Screen Star.
Sakurai: We don’t sound like them at all~ (laugh) Eh? Isn’t it weird? Those three, it’s different right?
Ohno: Different indeed~
Sakurai: It seems like Matsumoto-kun, Aiba-kun and Ninomiya-kun sounds different.
Ohno: Kind of.
Sakurai: Shall we start with Aiba-kun again?
Ohno: Okay (laugh)
Sakurai: (imitating) I’m Aiba Masaki!
Ohno: I’m Matsumoto.
Sakurai: I’m Ninomiya. No I can’t do this anymore.
Ohno: We sound nothing like them~
Sakurai: Anyway, right now, I’m here with Ohno-kun, just the two of us.
Ohno: Yes!
Sakurai: It’s so hard to imitate members.
Ohno: I can do it if it’s the way they walk though.
Sakurai: The way they walk huh.
Ohno: And their actions too.
Sakurai: I think Aiba-kun is quite easy to imitate.
Ohno: Yeah, Sho-kun imitates him very well.
Sakurai: Satoshi-kun, try doing it.
Ohno: Aiba Masaki?
Sakurai: Yeah.
Ohno: I’m Aiba! (laughing at a really high voice)
Sakurai: (laugh) You don’t sound like him~ When it’s past 1 am he’d become high like this. People listening to this, we’re sorry. So is there any phrase that members say a lot?
Ohno: I’ve always thought so during discussions with Matsujun, he’d say “well~ I don’t know about that, but~”, he’d definitely say that (laugh)
Sakurai: Ah, he does he does. And he says “excuse me for a second” too right?
Ohno: Yes. “Could you excuse me for a second?” like that.
Sakurai: He says those things. I’m not too sure Nino and Aiba-kun say very often though. Well today, we’re here at 1 am, just me and Satoshi-kun.
Ohno: Yes!
Sakurai: Just the two of us.
Ohno: The two of us.
Sakurai: Shall we do this?
Ohno: Shall we do this?
Sakurai: Anyway let’s just start?
Ohno: Ooh!
Sakurai: This is “Arashi’s…
Both: All Night Nippon!”
Sakurai: Once again, this is Arashi’s Sakurai Sho.
Ohno: And I’m Ohno Satoshi.
Sakurai: Apparently it’s been 6 years since Arashi last hosted All Night Nippon. Do you still remember?
Ohno: I don’t remember at all. Eh? Sho-kun do you still remember?
Sakurai: Nah~ honestly no… (laugh)
Ohno: You don’t remember too right? (laugh) We can’t possibly remember.
Sakurai: 6 years ago. Well right now, we’re together for 7 full years already, and we’ve entered our 8th year. So that was about the time when we just debuted. About the time when “Jidai” was released.
Ohno: I can’t remember at all.
Sakurai: 2001 August 10th, the studio was in Odaiba.
Ohno: I see…
Sakurai: During that time Matsumoto-kun was below 18. Oh my, Matsumoto-kun was once 18 too.
Ohno: He was (laugh)
Sakurai: He wasn’t allowed to join in the live show so we did it with just the 4 of us. We used a tape with his voice saying “I’m Matsumoto Jun” and pretended that we’re doing the radio program as 5, and we did some quizzes too.
Ohno: That, I kind of recall something of it.
Sakurai: Nope, I suppose not, judging from your reaction (laugh) You don’t have to force yourself (laugh)
Ohno: I remember just using Matsujun’s voice.
Sakurai: When we first debuted, Ohno-kun and I, we were the oldest among the 5 of us right? We often had to work together, just the two of us, on programs which are later than 9pm.
Ohno: Ah~ We did. Um, that one.
Sakurai: Fuji TV’s “Professional Baseball News”.
Ohno: Yes yes yes.
Sakurai: We appeared on that together.
Ohno: It was just… (laugh) Two people who know nothing about baseball appeared on that (laugh) The other three members know so much more than we do.
Sakurai: (laugh) And volleyball. Well finally all of us were over 18, and we could all appear together. During that time, we kept saying “we’ll do our best with the combined strength of all 5 of us”.
Ohno: Really? (laugh)
Sakurai: How’s that now? Are we still combining our strength? That phrase we kept repeating during the 2nd year after we debuted, have we been working hard together with our combined strength? Ohno-san.
Ohno: We did it naturally, even the atmosphere fits.
Sakurai: I see. Which means you can work very hard then?
Ohno: I’ll work hard to work hard (laugh)
Sakurai: On this day as well.
Ohno: On this day too.
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: But I do remember that when we first debuted, we kept saying things like this.
Sakurai: It certainly does bring back memories huh.
Ohno: Aiba-chan, he said “we’ll stir up a storm” during the press conference (laugh)
Sakurai: And that was the only thing he ever said. He said that on every program.
Ohno: (laugh) And he was saying it with a straight face (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh) It’s now embarrassing to see it now (laugh)
Ohno: So embarrassing (laugh)
Sakurai: Right, so tonight’s All Night Nippon is brought to you by Ohno-kun and I. Tonight, as a commemoration of the showing of the movie “Kiiroi Namida”, “We Can Make It!” make it come true, dream special. That’s a long title. Ohno-kun, please read this. The subtitle.
Ohno: Commemoration of the showing of the movie “Kiiroi Namida”, “We Can Make It!” make it come true, dream special!
Sakurai: Perfect. So there’s one thing we should do. The movie “Kiiroi Namida”, is one which depicts young men chasing after their dreams. Our new song “We Can Make It!” which will be released on 2nd of May conveys the message of “making dreams come true”. So it’s also a song that encourages people to work for their dreams, and for the 2 hours of this radio show we’ll be focusing on “dream”.
Ohno: Dream.
Sakurai: Yes. We’re currently collecting messages on the program’s home page with the theme “Your dream. And what you are doing to make it come true”. We’d like to talk about your dream, and Arashi’s dream as well. Of course, Aiba-kun, Matsumoto-kun, and Ninomiya-kun will appear too. Please look forward till the end of the program.
Ohno: Yes!
Sakurai: We shall play our first song for tonight. Ohno-san, if you please. This is our 19th single which will be released on 2nd of May.
Ohno: The 19th.
Sakurai: Please introduce this song.
Ohno: “We Can Make It!” by Arashi!
♪ We Can Make It! ♪
Sakurai: I’m doing this while holding hands with Ohno-kun, Arashi’s All Night Nippon.
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: Your hands, they’re kinda, sweaty?
Ohno: Hey Sho-kun, why’re you being so cold to me…
Sakurai: …so tonight (laugh) Commemoration of the showing of the movie “Kiiroi Namida”, “We Can Make It!” make it come true, dream special.
Ohno: Yeap!
Sakurai: It’s also quite rare for the both of us to be doing a radioshow together huh.
Ohno: We haven’t done this before, have we?
Sakurai: No we haven’t.
Ohno: Ah! There was once I went on Sho-kun’s program to play.
Sakurai: Yes yes yes. I had you come over before. But it wasn’t just the two of us the whole time.
Ohno: So no.
Sakurai: This time, about “Kiiroi Namida”, it seems like Ohno-san has been appointed by the head of marketing and promotion to appear on various programs.
Ohno: Yeah~ I wonder why he picked me.
Sakurai: You appeared on a lot of programs.
Ohno: The main character, it’s Nino right? I’m actually just a supporting cast…
Sakurai: Nah, it’s not like that (laugh)
Ohno: Right even though it’s not really like that (laugh) Well the main character is Nino, he appears almost all the time.
Sakurai: I saw the schedule, it’s full of Ohno - “Kiiroi Namida” Campaign, Ohno - “Kiiroi Namida” Campaign.
Ohno: And it’s in Osaka even.
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: I had to go to Osaka.
Sakurai: I thought “wow Ohno-kun really has to go huh~ don’t go~ don’t leave us~” (laugh)
Ohno: Yeah
So “Kiiroi Namida” will start showing this Saturday nationwide. With the roadshow in Tokyo and Osaka, we have received some mails.
(The person who wrote in feels that this would be a movie like no other, which will bring out the true meaning of having a dream)
Ohno: Wonderful.
Sakurai: This person says “I feel that this is a movie that will bring out the true meaning of having a dream”. I watched it a few times, rather than saying that you’d totally get the movie’s message, don’t you think it’s a movie which makes the message grow in your after you’ve watched it?
Ohno: You won’t really know it at that very moment after you’re done watching. You won’t feel all of it. But it makes you feel “I’ll watch it again”.
Sakurai: Yes it does.
Ohno: Yeap!
Sakurai: I’d like to talk a bit about the movie. The setting is in Tokyo during 1963 when Japan is making progress economically. It is a movie which tells of a group of young men with big dreams. Ohno-san, as one of the starring cast, talk about your character.
Ohno: My character is an artist. He’s a young man who aims to be an artist. He’s really simple, trying things out as he goes, something like that.
Sakurai: Right (laugh) He is.
Ohno: (laugh) Like, he’s actually living quite a peaceful life.
Sakurai: My character wants to be a novelist. He keeps talking about his dream, but never actually writes a novel. He’s kinda lame (laugh)
Ohno: At least my character did paint.
Sakurai: Yes. Ohno-kun’s character, he painted seriously huh.
Ohno: Yes he painted.
Sakurai: I didn’t write novel at all.
Ohno: No you didn’t (laugh)
Sakurai: What do you think about this movie?
Ohno: I really like it.
Sakurai: You really like it.
Ohno: It’s like, “I know right!” kinda thing. Speaking of dreams, though we have the impression of chasing dreams and facing obstacles, this movie shows that while you keep talking about chasing your dream, you might also say “well maybe I’d rest for today…” too (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh) How realistically human.
Ohno: Yes it’s realistic (laugh) “I know right!” kinda thing.
Sakurai: Yes indeed! Ah~ you’re right.
Ohno: I really like that.
Sakurai: It’s not like, sweating out and chasing your dream without giving up. “Well I guess I’m done for the day…”
Ohno: “Today I’d take a break…”, though they keep talking about chasing their dreams (laugh) It’s like a one-time thing and they didn’t do much about it.
Sakurai: There are people like that huh. The props too, they’re all pretty old stuff that makes you go “I’ve seen this before!”, cigarettes and stuff.
Ohno: Cigarettes! They’re so realistic.
Sakurai: And chewing gums. Those candy types. The things that we saw when we were young. All recreated.
Ohno: It’s amazing. that setting.
Sakurai: Kashii Yuu-chan, she’s so interesting. She doesn’t sway at all, though she’s still young, she really holds herself steadily. In my dressing room, there’s this pole thing, when I went in there’s a crow. Kashii Yuu-chan came from behind. I thought “this is dangerous for a girl to come in!”. I thought I could act manly. “Kashii-chan, it’s dangerous! There’s a crow inside, please be careful!”. Kashii-chan said “yeah no problem” and went straight in. The crow was croaking right in front of Kashii-chan like babababa~!
Ohno: Whoa~ and she didn’t sway at all?
Sakurai: I thought “she’s amazing!”. Man I was so lame.
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: What the heck were you so afraid about? I was scolding myself.
Ohno: You were the most frightened (laugh) Wait, Kashii-chan is also kinda weird right?
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: She didn’t move even when the crow flew past her?
Sakurai: She was so cool. Just like the impression she leaves.
Ohno: Just like that.
Sakurai: Just as she is. So cool.
Ohno: She’s so cool during greeting too.
Sakurai: Very cool.
Ohno: When you say “good morning!”, she would say plainly “good morning”.
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: She answers in one tone lower than yours.
Sakurai: Yes yes yes (laugh) That’s so cool.
Ohno: Cool indeed.
Sakurai: Shooting was tough too.
Ohno: Oh tough. Yeah. I had a lot of waiting time, about 2-3 hours and it’s giving me headache. I didn’t know what I could do in the mean time.
Sakurai: But isn’t this the impression we had of movies? “There’s a lot of waiting time” kinda thing, people often say that.
Ohno: Yes. This is the first time I knew about this. In a movie, waiting is work. “Oh I see” like that (laugh) I didn’t know at all.
Sakurai: But everyday we had to film till 3, 4, 5 am. And we had to start early too. Honestly towards the end, Satoshi-kun, you looked like you would break any minute.
Ohno: I was thinking of running away.
Sakurai: (burst out laughing) You kept saying that (laugh)
Ohno: It was so tough, towards the end.
Sakurai: This guy, he’s the first to crank-in, yet the last to crank-up. His filming period was the longest.
Ohno: Yes yes. When I first cranked-in, I thought I’d definitely end the earliest, but members keep disappearing before me.
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: Saying “crank up~!” before me. The last one was Sho-kun.
Sakurai: Yes.
Ohno: And when Sho-kun cranked-up, I felt so alone.
Sakurai: (laugh) Even though you were the first to start.
Ohno: The place when I cranked-in, was the same as the place where I finally cranked-up. I thought “owh man it’s starting all over again” (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh) When is this ever going to end? like that. But it’s really fun.
Ohno: Yes it is.
Sakurai: The 5 of us were together the whole time.
Ohno: We played a lot.
Sakurai: We kept playing. But since it’s right before our concert, Ohno-kun you’ve been thinking of choreography during your free time.
Ohno: Ah yes.
Sakurai: “Kiiroi Namida” starring 5 of Arashi members, right now we’d have comments from members. They’d each give us a quiz about what happened during the filming. First up, who could it be?
Aiba: I’m Arashi’s Aiba Masaki. I play Inoue Shuuichi in the movie “Kiiroi Namida”, here’s my question. Sakurai-kun and Ohno-kun and Aiba-kun, this question is about a scene with the 3 of us. Sakurai-kun, don’t be too full of yourself.
Sakurai: What the heck, you!
Ohno: (burst out laughing)
Sakurai: He’s so annoying!
Ohno: (laugh)
Aiba: So here’s my question.
Sakurai: This guy is so annoying!
Ohno: (laugh)
Aiba: This question is about the scene which I filmed with Ohno-kun and Sakurai at Eisuke’s house.
Ohno: Alright I get it (laugh)
Aiba: “Ready, action!” and filming went on smoothly, but halfway through, I could hear “poo~”. There were only the 3 of us there right?
Ohno: Yes.
Aiba: Which means, it could only be one of us, right?
Ohno: Yes indeed.
Aiba: Even though there’s the “poo~” sound, we went on acting until the director yelled “OK!”. Which means the “poo~” is in the tape. Somebody went to the sound editor and said “I’m sorry, please erase the fart sound”, who was it?
Sakurai: Wasn’t it Aiba-kun?
Ohno: Aiba-kun? If it was Aiba-kun he wouldn’t have asked the question himself.
Sakurai: But, who could it be?
Ohno: Well it could be me, since I fart everywhere.
Sakurai: (laugh) What confession is that (laugh)
Ohno: But I wouldn’t fart when I’m told that I have to film for real though.
Sakurai: That sound, honestly it was cute.
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: Do you remember that sound?
Ohno: (still laughing)
Sakurai: It was like “kyu~n”, something like that (laugh)
Ohno: (laugh) It was really high pitched (laugh)
Sakurai: Very high pitched. “Kyu~n” like that (laugh) Ah, so it can go this high huh (laugh) It’s a new discovery.
Ohno: (laugh) That was so funny.
Sakurai: I’m sorry. Honestly, that was me.
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: Well let’s hear him announce the answer.
Aiba: The answer is… Sakurai Sho-kun!
Sakurai: Why the heck is this guy so high spirited?
Ohno: (laugh)
Aiba: Sho-kun, I’m sorry alright? Though Sho-chan told me not to say this. But I’ve got nothing else to say, as a quiz question I mean. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. That’s all, I’m Arashi’s Aiba Masaki!
Sakurai: This happy jingle makes me all the more irritated (laugh)
Ohno: It was really funny. Cause your character, Sho-kun, he’s really pretty lame. And while farting, you’re just saying the lines.
Sakurai: What line was it again?
Ohno: What was it?
Sakurai: It was the 3 of us right?
Ohno: Just the 3 of us.
Sakurai: I think it was when I stood up.
Ohno: And you were wearing those clothes even.
Sakurai: Yes. So worn off.
Ohno: Yes, so actually it’s really (laugh) realistic.
Sakurai: It fits the situation, my fart. It wasn’t Sakurai Sho, it was Mukai Ryuuzo.
Ohno: Your fart is part of the act too?
Sakurai: “Kyu~n” (laugh) I’m sorry. Really.
Ohno: I was surprised when I heard “OK!”.
Sakurai: So was I. I was kinda in shock.
Ohno: Oh so the director thinks it’s okay (laugh)
Sakurai: So, who’s next? This guy!
Matsumoto: Good evening. I am Arashi’s Matsumoto Jun.
Sakurai: How solemn.
Matsumoto: With “dream” as the theme, I had a dream from my younger days.
Sakurai: Who cares (laugh)
Matsumoto: About 10 years ago, when I was still a Johnny’s Junior, I was asked about what I would be doing in 10 years time, and I answered “I will be performing concerts overseas”. I happen to see that old interview right before we went to Taiwan. To have said it 10 years ago and to have fulfilled it 10 years after, I feel very blessed.
Ohno: Yes yes. You said that.
Matsumoto: I was really happy the moment when I thought “ah I’ve work so hard to come this far”. So now, here’s my question.
Sakurai: Hey, you took up quite a long time (laugh)
Matsumoto: We used to appear on it before when we were Johnny’s Junior, I’m not sure if they still have it now? This thing called “Johnny’s Jr. Meikan”.
Sakurai: Yes yes.
Ohno: Yes there is.
Matsumoto: When I was featured, what pose did I do with my hands?
Ohno: How would I know? What’s this guy saying?
Sakurai: Ohno-san, let me just confirm something with you. You don’t have to talk to the tape.
Ohno: Ah, I see (laugh) Well I feel like answering though (laugh) Eh? But there’s a lot of “Jr. Meikan” right?
Sakurai: A lot. There were about 3 or 4 during our time right?
Ohno: Yes yes. And Matsujun was in one of those?
Sakurai: There was once, when I was in high school, Satoshi-kun you wore it too, the neat-style clothes was in fashion.
Ohno: Yes it was popular.
Sakurai: Everyone was kinda wearing suits and shirts.
Ohno: Yes we wore that.
Sakurai: Matsujun, he was in middle-school I think. He owned a luxurious branded belt, and it was featured on “Jr. Meikan”.
Ohno: Yes. During that time, I remember that he went home with me on the train.
Sakurai: With Matsujun.
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: You remember well huh.
Ohno: We were both in that neat-style fashion. And he suddenly spoke to me very casually “Ohno-kun let’s go somewhere next time!”
Sakurai: Ohno-kun, you were his senior (laugh) What’s with this guy?
Ohno: (laugh) Wearing clothes like that.
Sakurai: So pose.
Ohno: Right. I don’t know.
Sakurai: What’s that? That thing which was quite popular back then. I guess it’s still around now? “Egg pose” something like that. Facing the hand-held camera.
Ohno: Ah~!
Sakurai: But I don’t think Matsujun would do that.
Ohno: Eh, but it’s NG for all of us, no?
Sakurai: Ah, right. The soccer pose?
Ohno: You mean the type when you’d take up one whole page?
Sakurai: Yeah. That. Eh? Which means, it’s not just the hands.
Ohno: You’re right. Eh? I don’t know at all.
Sakurai: Peace sign? Matsujun was the cute-type when he was still a junior.
Ohno: Ah! I know! I think I remember.
Sakurai: For real!?
Ohno: Curling his hands into fists and holding them to his cheek, like this.
Sakurai: Aaaah~! He probably did~!
Ohno: I kinda remember his doing that.
Sakurai: That’s it then?
Ohno: Curling up his hands into fists and holding them to his cheeks. And smiling while looking at something/
Sakurai: Are you sure it’s that cute? It’s like gravure right? Is that fine with you?
Ohno: I’m going with that.
Sakurai: Final answer?
Ohno: Final answer.
Sakurai: Alright~ Let’s hear the real answer (laugh)
Ohno: I think it’s definitely this!
Matsumoto: And here’s the answer. With both my elbows closely together…
Both: Ohh! Ohh! (excited)
Matsumoto: I rested my chin on my hands.
Ohno: Ah~ that!
Sakurai: Ha?
Matsumoto: It was a really cute photo. I can’t do this anymore. Speaking of dreams, now, as a 23-year-old Matsumoto Jun, my current dream.
Sakurai: He’s 23 huh.
Ohno: He can still do it!
Sakurai: (laugh) He can!
Matsumoto: My current dream is… to be a regular on All Night Nippon.
Sakurai: So covetous. How greedy of him.
Matsumoto: Please, not Ohno-kun, not Sakurai-kun, not Oguri Shun-kun, but Matsumoto Jun.
Sakurai: That doesn’t sound right (laugh)
Matsumoto: That’s what I think. But I’d probably reject the offer.
Ohno: So he doesn’t want it?
Sakurai: What’s this aimless dream? (laugh) One that’s going nowhere.
Ohno: (laugh) Well it’s still funny.
Sakurai: It was “paper”. (Rock-scissors-paper game)
Ohno: Yeah “paper”.
Sakurai: Not “rock”.
Ohno: So it was “paper”. But I remember him doing that.
Sakurai: He used to do such cute poses huh.
Ohno: Let’s try asking him next time.
Sakurai: I would love to have him do those poses now.
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: In “Bambi~no!”, in the ending clip or something. Would he do that?
Ohno: (laugh) He might.
Sakurai: I just realized, Matsumoto-kun, he talked about his dream before his part ended right? Aiba-kun, how come he talked about fart till the end?
Ohno: Yeah, he’s really just doing whatever he sees fit (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: I wish he would do as he was told.
Sakurai: Well I guess Nino would do it properly.
Ohno: Yes. This guy might do something interesting. I think.
Sakurai: Yeah. So now we’ll have the main… Can we say that? The star of the movie “Kiiroi Namida”. Here’s the comment from Nino.
Ninomiya: I’m Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari. I portray the character Muraoka Eisuke in “Kiiroi Namida”. This “Kiiroi Namida”, the theme was about young men’s dreams, a youth movie. While Japan is growing economically, 5 young men are going the opposite direction, doing what they want to do for themselves. If this interests you, I hope you would watch it. Today, I’ll have Sho-chan and Leader work hard together. That’s what I think. That’s all, I’m Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari!
Both: Ehh!?
Ohno: What’s with this guy?
Sakurai: What’s with this guy indeed!
Ohno: Eh? Nothing?
Sakurai: This isn’t a quiz at all, simply a comment!
Ohno: This guy, he never plays by the rules. That’s for sure (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: He never does (laugh)
Sakurai: “I hope many people will watch it. That’s all!” (laugh)
Ohno: What the heck (laugh) I wanted to hear his quiz.
Sakurai: So did I. But too bad, this is what he did. With that, we’ve played out all members’ talks. Nationwide roadshow will start this Saturday for the movie “Kiiroi Namida”.
Ohno: It’s amazing.
Sakurai: Amazing. 30 venues, right?
Ohno: Ho~ 30 venues.
Sakurai: You see, before this, the movies we did, they were shown at only one place right?
Ohno: Yes they were.
Sakurai: It used to be, only shown in Tokyo, kinda thing. But now, 30 venues.
Ohno: It’s a first.
Sakurai: I hope many people will be able to watch it. It’s quite, how shall I put it, regardless of age, it’s a movie that everyone can connect with, regardless of age.
Ohno: Yes. The audience target is wide.
Sakurai: I hope to try watching many people… I try watching, wait, no (laugh) I hope to show it to many people!
Ohno: Yes! (laugh)
(to be continued)
