[2007.04.25] All Night Nippon - Part III
Continued from Part II. Same warning: VERY long. Final part.
Ohno: Year 1999, during Arashi’s debut press conference in Hawaii, the MC was Nippon broadcast’s announcer! This is Arashi’s little trivia.
Sakurai: (laugh) Eh? You remember about the press conference?
Ohno: Hm.. not at all.
Sakurai: It’s so surreal, we can’t remember a thing.
Ohno: Yeah, not a bit.
Sakurai: How should I put it? It’s so luxurious, being on the cruise and such. It’s good to remember it though. But my memory of that time, well it’s just surreal.
Ohno: None! I don’t remember a thing!
Sakurai: Why so sudden…
Ohno: Do excuse me.
Sakurai: (laugh) Excuse you indeed (laugh)
Ohno: I didn’t say anything.
Sakurai: You just said that out of the blue (laugh) Well it was pretty much like, “tomorrow, you’re going to Hawaii” kinda thing.
Ohno: Telling me that we’re going to Hawaii, I thought I’m going there to play… Man I was tricked (laugh)
Sakurai: Suddenly we find ourselves in the middle of a press conference.
Ohno: And when they asked “how do you feel?”, what was I about to say? I don’t know alright?
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: Like, “what do you mean how do I feel?”, that was what I felt (laugh)
Sakurai: Everything was so sudden. And those journalists who came, they were wearing a face that says “who the heck are you guys?” (laugh)
Ohno: “Say what?” like that (laugh)
Sakurai: It was a surreal press conference (laugh)
Ohno: What a surreal press conference (laugh)
Sakurai: Well, ah, it’s been 7 years huh?
Ohno: 7 years.
Sakurai: We’re entering the 8th year. Time flies.
Ohno: Yeah in just a blink of an eye.
Sakurai: Alright, Commemoration of the showing of the movie “Kiiroi Namida”, “We Can Make It!” make it come true, dream special, those of you listening to the radio now, we’re collecting messages of your dreams and what you’re doing to fulfill them. We’ll read out one now. Ohno-san, please.
Ohno: I’m on it~
(This person wants to be a kindergarten teacher. She is learning piano now and she is required to learn 90 songs in 3 months, a big challenge for someone who has never played piano before this. When she feels discouraged, she listens to Arashi songs. She also wishes for Arashi to work hard to be top idols)
Sakurai: Wonderful! Her dream since she was in kindergarten.
Ohno: 90 songs…
Sakurai: It’s… it’s impossible
Ohno: I can’t do it… we…
Sakurai: I can’t either (laugh)
Ohno: Me neither. Wow amazing.
Sakurai: A few years ago, I acted as a kindergarten teacher in the drama “Yoiko no Mikata”.
Ohno: Yes yes yes.
Sakurai: Those little kinds, during that time there were 30-40 kids. I was with them everyday… it really does take a lot of effort and energy to take care of little children.
Ohno: Yeah… and it’s scary too.
Sakurai: Yes, if something happens to them.
Ohno: Yeah.
Sakurai: They’ve been placed under us in faith.
Ohno: Like what if they get hurt…
Sakurai: Yeah, it’s tough at the filming set. So I think it must be really tough for kindergarten teachers. But for people who love kids, it’s heaven.
Ohno: I suppose so.
Sakurai: It’s a fulfilling job.
Ohno: Just amazing.
Sakurai: And for this person who have this dream since kindergarten, that plays a big part in her life. Learning 90 songs in 3 months too… to say that it’s impossible, well it’s an obstacle to break through.
Ohno: Yeah, this dream… so as long as she’s looking forward.
Sakurai: So wonderful. Please work hard.
Ohno: You’re wonderful.
Sakurai: Next.
(This person wants to be a patissier, she’s attending a special high school to train herself while working part time at a cake house. At the shop, she’s only assigned to wash dishes and housekeeping, but the owner told her to make and show him 3 types of summer-themed cakes after July, which is about the time when “Bambi~no!” finishes airing. She hopes to grow better together with Ban-kun)
Ohno: Wow everyone’s amazing.
Sakurai: That’s what I’m thinking too! While reading all the mails. People always say that young people don’t have dreams and never think about their future right? No it’s not like that apparently.
Ohno: It’s not like that.
Sakurai: I guess it’s different for each person, there are also many people who work hard to achieve their dreams.
Ohno: Yes indeed.
Sakurai: Bambi~no.
Ohno: Bambi~no.
Sakurai: Did you watch it?
Ohno: I did.
Sakurai: How much did you watch?
Ohno: …about half…
Sakurai: (laugh) About that, isn’t it difficult to understand the drama if you only watch halfway like that?
Ohno: No no no…
Sakurai: Dramas, that one whole hour comes as a package, you know?
Ohno: Yeah I know.
Sakurai: To stop halfway… that’s quite difficult.
Ohno: I had to go to my friend’s house.
Sakurai: Ah, you only had a short while to watch huh?
Ohno: Yeah a short time. I wanted to watch till the end, but… well I told myself, I’ll go when the CM comes in. Then when the CM came, I was curious about what happens next, so I continued watching while standing, I kept repeating that, but I really couldn’t stay any longer… and I left.
Sakurai: Time factor.
Ohno: Yes. It’s amazing, he’s pushed to wash dishes at first.
Sakurai: Matsujun?
Ohno: Yeah, he did a mistake while cooking. So he was asked to do the dishes. Then he kinda fell asleep, he was tired, and a can came flying to his direction… it was tough for him.
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: What a summary (laugh)
Ohno: No no, that’s just the beginning. I’m telling you, it’s totally different from Domyouji.
Sakurai: What impression do you have of it? Of Matsujun, what do you think of him? From Satoshi-kun’s point of view.
Ohno: Ah, that drama?
Sakurai: Yes yes yes. Is it any different from his image up till now?
Ohno: Oh it’s quite fresh. It’s like getting to see an immature Machuju… Matsujun. It’s quite refreshing.
Sakurai: I see. Shall we read one more?
Ohno: Alright, one more.
(This grade 6 student dreams to stay at Mishuku despite not knowing a thing about that place. “Arashi please tell me about Mishuku”.)
Sakurai: (laugh) “I want to live in Mishuku”, this is coming from a 6th-grader.
Ohno: It’s not any different.
Sakurai: When I was in 6th grade, I never thought of where I want to stay.
Ohno: What’s so good about Mishuku? The sound of it?
Sakurai: Perhaps so, if you say it many times it might sound amusing.
Ohno: Mishuku… well this person read about this place on a magazine.
Sakurai: But Mishiku, it’s kinda far from the train station right? Which means, it’s a quiet place… but I don’t know if it’s a good place to live or not.
Ohno: Me neither. I don’t go there often anyway.
Sakurai: Oh really? There are a lot of eateries there. I guess it’s a good place to live a quiet peaceful life. Though you’d have to walk a lot in the morning just to get a train ride.
Ohno: Oh I see.
Sakurai: You know at the Mishuku junction, there’s Yoshigyuu and Matsuya.
Ohno: Ooh~ I bet this person will go~
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: Ah, Yoshigyuu today, Matsuya tomorrow (laugh)
Ohno: Yeah and they each serve many types of dishes too (laugh)
Sakurai: So she doesn’t have to worry about food, and if you walk further there’s Tenka Ippin.
Ohno: If this dream ever came true, I’d like to hear more.
Sakurai: Yeah, I’d like to know what she wants to do there.
Ohno: … I wanna know what she thinks about that place.
Sakurai: Yeah I’m curious.
Ohno: If it’s just by the sound of the name that makes her want to live there, I kind of understand.
Sakurai: Yes it sounds interesting. Where would you like to live in? Ohno-san.
Ohno: Me… You know Sangenchaya…
Sakurai: Yeah
Ohno: People always say “Sancha” right?
Sakurai: Yes yes.
Ohno: I didn’t get it at all. Not till a few years ago. “Sancha Sancha”… I thought it was a yakiniku shop.
Sakurai: (laugh) Yakiniku shop “Sancha”, it’s plausible. Like ssangchu.
Ohno: Yeah that was what I thought (laugh) Well somewhere near Sangenchaya area, and there’s also, umm, Yuuteji.
Sakurai: Ah~ yes yes yes.
Ohno: I kinda like the sound of it. Yuutenji. Like that.
Sakurai: What kind of impression do you have of that place? Of Yuutenji.
Ohno: Like, happy? (laugh)
Sakurai: I see (laugh) Well I don’t have any, a place I want to live at. When you’re old, are you the type who wants to live at the rural area? Or do you want to live in the heart of the city?
Ohno: City… No I don’t see myself there.
Sakurai: Ah I see.
Ohno: It’s tough… (small voice)
Sakurai: So when you’re old, you might, well, maybe go somewhere like Hawaii perhaps… then relax… and make artworks as you live quietly, like that?
Ohno: Yeah I guess.
Sakurai: Ah, I see.
Ohno: What about Sho-kun?
Sakurai: I think I’ll stick to the city.
Ohno: Eh~ You super city boy.
Sakurai: (burst out laughing)
Ohno: Seriously? Amazing.
Sakurai: (laugh) What comment is that?
Ohno: But why~? Because, you can easily get everything?
Sakurai: Well no… Okay yes (laugh) I, I can’t really stay still.
Ohno: Ah! …ah
Sakurai: I’ve got nothing to do…
Ohno: Sho-kun, it does seem impossible for you.
Sakurai: Satoshi-kun, you see, you can make artworks and stuff, you’ve got all sorts of hobbies.
Ohno: Yeah I do.
Sakurai: Me, I’ve got nothing to do, I can only laze around… (laugh) seriously!
Ohno: (laugh) And just like that, you’d be dead in no time… (laugh)
Sakurai: Yeah so that’s the thing (laugh)
Ohno: Well I guess that’s it for you.
Sakurai: Yeah (laugh)
Ohno: Yeah (laugh)
Sakurai: So… Please work hard so you’ll get to stay and Mishuku (laugh)
Ohno: You can do it~ (laugh)
Sakurai: After this, we’ll have Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari talk about his dream. What kind of dream will he share with us?
Ohno: Will he even talk properly?
Sakurai: Yeah that’s a problem too (laugh) Before that, let’s listen to one more song. Satoshi-kun please.
Ohno: Alright, here’s “Future” by Arashi.
♪ Future ♪
Ohno: Johnny’s mobile site! Nino is updating for Arashi as a whole. Ohno is working hard too ohhhh~
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: You’re working hard, really. How many pieces have you painted?
Ohno: About, 100?
Sakurai: I’ve been meaning to ask, after you’re done drawing, how do you paint the colours?
Ohno: I decide the colours, then add on the colours using the computer.
Sakurai: So which means… after you’re done drawing… I’ll use this colour here, like that?
Ohno: Yes like that, then I add shadows…
Sakurai: Oh shadow too
Ohno: Yes yes.
Sakurai: So using the computer, you’re drawing out the image which you have in your head…
Ohno: Yes yes yes.
Sakurai: I see. Nino’s updating everyday.
Ohno: Yes. Nino is amazing.
Sakurai: Yes. Game Nikki.
Ohno: Yes. Wonderful!
Sakurai: Wonderful! Your dreams, and what you’re doing to fulfill them, we’re sharing the dreams we’ve received, but let’s share Arashi members’ dreams too. The last one is Ninomiya-kun. Let’s listen to his comment.
Ninomiya: I’m Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari. Here, umm… since we’re doing a quiz, when I was young, my dream was to be a professional baseball player. Well simply because I wanted to play baseball. Here’s the question. For Sho-kun and Ohno-kun to answer. It’s quite maniacal, that even these two, will be shouting “I don’t know I don’t know”.
Sakurai: Yeah cause we’re not maniacs.
Ohno: (laugh)
Ninomiya: When I was young, I played baseball. What was my plate appearance in the first game I played?
Sakurai: That’s not about his dream at all…
Ohno: I know nothing about baseball.
Sakurai: Yeah how is it possible to know?
Ohno: I don’t even know the rules.
Sakurai: What could it be? So it’s 1 in 9.
Ohno: …huh?
Sakurai: Erm, I’m sorry (laugh)
Ohno: (laugh) What?
Sakurai: (laugh) Because there are 9 players, he could be any one of those 9.
Ohno: Oh!
Sakurai: From the 9 people, which one… He’s just one of them to hit. By order.
Ohno: Ah… so the result?
Sakurai: Man this is just… what, result?
(long pause, possibly getting explanation from staff)
Sakurai: So? Ah, we don’t even know the meaning of this question (laugh)
Ohno: I don’t get it.
Sakurai: Which goes to show how hopeless we are at baseball. Plate appearance… I see, the result.
Ohno: His… first game?
Sakurai: Ah, I get it, I get… Ha… What do we have? Hit, homerun, strikeout.
Ohno: Strikeout.
Sakurai: I… I’m rooting for homerun.
Ohno: Well it does seem like it.
Sakurai: Yeah.
Ohno: Ah, there’s four ball too… so it’s not strikeout?
Sakurai: Oh, opposites. Well then. let’s hear his answer.
Ninomiya: The answer is, dead ball.
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: (laugh)
Ninomiya: I was asked to share some backstage stories from the movie set. But… it’s been quite a while I can’t remember any backstage stories anymore… so I’m just going ask about my childhood experience.
Ohno: (still laughing)
Sakurai: What kind of question is this? (laugh) It’s not even backstage story…
Ninomiya: So what was the first plate appearance result for me, Ninomiya Kazunari. So how was my 2nd round in that game?
Sakurai: How come he still remembers? Amazing.
Ohno: Must’ve left quite an impression on him.
Sakurai: So he remembered the dead ball from his first game.
Ohno: The next one is homerun then?
Sakurai: Nah, you know, dead ball, and suddenly homerun?
Ohno: I’m going for dead ball again.
Sakurai: How lousy is that? (laugh)
Ohno: Brawl!
Sakurai: Brawl! Ah~ brawl. But I don’t think this guy will do that on purpose. Anyway I’m going for homerun.
Ohno: Okay. Which one is it I wonder?
Sakurai: Let’s listen to his answer.
Ninomiya: The answer is, dead ball.
Sakurai: (laugh) Seriously!?
Ninomiya: Dead ball, twice in a row.
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: You got it right (laugh)
Ninomiya: And the 3rd time was four ball. Yeah.
Ohno: He didn’t hit at all (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ninomiya: My first game… 0 against 0.
Sakurai: Satoshi-kun you got it right.
Ohno: I got it right.
Sakurai: It was dead ball the 2nd time too.
Ohno: Seriously?
Sakurai: It’s quite amazing! Didn’t he play to hit?
Ohno: But you know… if he did hit, he’d have gone that way. That path?
Sakurai: Yes yes yes.
Ohno: Ah~ he really might.
Sakurai: It seems like he would!
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh) He didn’t talk about his dream at all.
Ohno: Yeah (laugh)
Sakurai: But professional baseball player, he says that quite often huh (laugh)
Ohno: Nino.
Sakurai: He still wants to become a baseball player now. He’s excited for the draft every year.
Ohno: He really could have become one! (laugh) He’s good.
Sakurai: He is. Arashi, well besides me and Ohno-kun, they’ve all played in youth baseball teams before.
Ohno: Yes yes yes. So… um, the Tokyo Dome, um, Johnny’s Baseball Game… the 3 of them will definitely play.
Sakurai: Yeah they did. Somehow me and Ohno-kun, we’re the commentators.
Ohno: Yeah.
Sakurai: Without knowing a thing about baseball.
Ohno: When I was asked “how is it, Ohno-san?”, hm… it’s okay I guess? (laugh)
Sakurai: Yeah we could only give such random answers (laugh)
Ohno: I really know nothing at all (laugh)
Sakurai: Matsujun, when you ask him what position he played as, he said “catcher” right?
Ohno: Yeah he did.
Sakurai: But the photos, they didn’t show his face at all (laugh)
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: So what exactly did you play as? (laugh)
Ohno: (laugh) Amusing.
Sakurai: Alright, let’s play another song now shall we?
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: This is a fun song written by Arashi. Nino wrote the music.
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: It’s a fun song. G no Arashi’s support song.
Ohno: VERY GOOD SONG (loud)
Sakurai: Ohno-san, please.
Ohno: “Fight Song” by Arashi.
♪ Fight Song ♪
Sakurai: Arashi’s All Night Nippon, it’s getting really late.
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: Well it’s late, Ohno-san please say something to our listeners to wake them from sleepiness.
Ohno: Go to bed.
Sakurai: What the (laugh) You should ask them to work hard to stay awake!
Ohno: Go to bed, go to bed.
Sakurai: Hey that’s weird (laugh) Please continue listening.
Ohno: Yes, I’m sorry (laugh)
Sakurai: Well it’s late.
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: For tonight’s All Night Nippon, we did Commemoration of the showing of the movie “Kiiroi Namida”, “We Can Make It!” make it come true, dream special, and talked about dreams.
Ohno: Yes yes.
Sakurai: The both of us, we haven’t talked about our dreams.
Ohno: Right.
Sakurai: About Arashi, Arashi’s dream, Arashi’s future plans, what do you have in mind?
Ohno: What shall we do… Well I talked about my childhood dream just now
Sakurai: Dynaman, right?
Ohno: Yeah (laugh_
Sakurai: But that’s the basis, Dynaman, 5 people too right?
Ohno: Ah, yes.
Sakurai: Then we can aim to be Dynaman.
Ohno: That’s one of my dream too.
Sakurai: Next time, maybe we’ll become like something-man, like that
Ohno: Man-man….
Sakurai: Man-man…? (laugh)
Ohno: No no, something-man. Ah but we did it once before, on a TV program (Gakibara Teikoku).
Sakurai: We did. There was a segment called Ojuken Sentai Arashi (laugh) We were dressed up like rangers (laugh) Little kids went through all sorts of obstacles, we were supposed to guide them (laugh) Oh man we really did all kinds of things.
Ohno: Yeah we did.
Sakurai: In the near future, I’d like to us the 5 of us host a radio show together.
Ohno: We haven’t done that in a while.
Sakurai: Yes.
Ohno: We did it before though (Arashi On)
Sakurai: Yeah. Though it may be tough to arrange our schedules to fit… but I really want us to do a radio show together.
Ohno: Yeah, though we’d just be talking nonsense.
Sakurai: It’s fine even if we don’t talk about nonsensical things.
Ohno: No I mean, we’d end up talking nonsense anyway.
Sakurai: Somehow?
Ohno: Anyhow.
Sakurai: Without even trying.
Ohno: Yes yes.
Sakurai: Oh I’d love to do it. Do you have any goal? For yourself, for Arashi?
Ohno: You know, don’t you wanna do a musical as Arashi, for once? (laugh)
Sakurai: (burst out laughing) Well if Leader, if Captain says so, we’ll… of course we’ll follow your orders… but… (laugh)
Ohno: Actually I just wanna watch (laugh) But I think I have to act too if that’s the case (laugh) It’ll be interesting right?
Sakurai: Doing a musical as Arashi… how would it be? (laugh)
Ohno: But once it starts there’s no turning back.
Sakurai: Yeah.
Ohno: There was once I did it with Sho-kun and Matsujun (West Side Story)
Sakurai: The 3 of us huh.
Ohno: So I was thinking how will it turn out to be if all 5 of us are there…
Sakurai: I think Nino would never agree to do it…
Ohno: Yeah he might not. But I wanna see it.
Sakurai: Yeah… but we’ve tried doing a lot of things, there’s not much left for us to try actually.
Ohno: Yes you’re right… we’ve done movies too… for 3 times even.
Sakurai: But this weekend, Arashi will be at Tokyo Dome.
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: Call it a dream or a goal, how shall I put this, it’s a passing point and it’s good enough if we could have good memories of it.
Ohno: Well yes… but it’s great to be able to do this now.
Sakurai: This is amazingly timely. Just before this, we went to Asia last year, and we were asked to do the same within Japan. Since many people expressed interest, let’s do it in Dome instead. Because of fans, we got to perform at the Dome.
Ohno: Amazing. Asia tour. It was the first.
Sakurai: Asia tour was great. The audience, the feeling was different with each country, but it was great.
Ohno: It was surreal huh.
Sakurai: Doing this Asia tour… did you feel that you’re popular?
Ohno: Not at all… You see, when I go overseas, nobody recognizes me at the airport… But this time when I reached the airport, it was like “Satoshi?”
Sakurai: They called your name (laugh)
Ohno: It was quite surreal.
Sakurai: And when we get out from the venue, the signboards weren’t in Japanese. When we’re rehearsing, there are local staff around, they don’t respond at all even if you greet them
Ohno: No response (laugh) Even if you say “may we have your favour” they’re all quiet--- (laugh)
Sakurai: Like, sa--- (laugh)
Ohno: Like they’re all wondering what’s going on (laugh)
Sakurai: It was a good experience. So we went to Thailand, Taiwan, and Korea to do concerts. But Thailand, because of quo d’tat, we didn’t manage to go.
Ohno: Yeah.
Sakurai: So inclusive of Thailand, the places that we haven’t been to before, be it overseas, of places within Japan, I’d like us to go to those places. That’s one of my dreams.
Ohno: Yes. I want to go to more places.
Sakurai: There are still a lot of places we haven’t been to.
Ohno: Even within Japan.
Sakurai: Really. I’d love to go.
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: That was the last person. Ohno-san are you ready?
Ohno: What what… suddenly… (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh) Shall I do it then?
Ohno: Okay.
Sakurai: For me…
Ohno: Ah!
Sakurai: Eh? (laugh)
Ohno: Ah, me… no, Sho-kun you…
Sakurai: Is it okay? (laugh)
Ohno: Yes.
Sakurai: This time, all the mails we’ve received, it’s quite touching.
Ohno: Yes really, everyone, having dreams and working for it.
Sakurai: Yes indeed! I’ve said it just now, young people nowadays don’t have dreams or goals, they just live each day as it is, well that’s not true!
Ohno: Yeap. You see, everyone stands firm to their dreams.
Sakurai: Young people, impress those adults! Dash away with the bikes you stole… wait, don’t do that…
Ohno: (laugh) Dash away with the bikes you stole, you can’t do that… (laugh)
Sakurai: Yeah you’re right (laugh) But you’d want to let those adults see how well you can do, to stop them from underestimating you, com’on live up your dreams!
Ohno: Yes indeed.
Sakurai: People who’ve been told “you’re useless even if you have a dream”, com’on show them what you can do!
Ohno: Show them!
Sakurai: Right? Ohno-san, do you have anything to say?
Ohno: I think so too. Work hard till your dream comes true.
Sakurai: Yeah don’t just give up.
Ohno: Yes yes yes. You must’ve give up. You dream, work for it till it comes true.
Sakurai: With that message from Ohno-san, let’s play this song shall we? Please introduce this song, Ohno-san.
Ohno: By Arashi~ “We Can Make It!”
♪ “We Can Make It!” ♪
Sakurai: Arashi’s All Night Nippon, it’s about time we say goodbye.
Ohno: We have to say goodbye (sounding quite happy)
Sakurai: As our background music, since we’ve talking about dreams, we’re playing “Hero”
Ohno: “Hero” is a good song.
Sakurai: Ah… thank you (laugh)
Ohno: Really.
Sakurai: The phrase “your dream is everyone’s dream). It’s the theme song for Olympics, on NTV. And 24hr TV. We’re doing this again with all of us, please take care of us.
Ohno: Oh yes.
Sakurai: And this program, the next time we’ll be here, I guess it’ll take another 6 years?
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: Let’s hope that in that mean time, we’ll be able to do a lot of things.
Ohno: Let’s hope so.
Sakurai: And with 5 of us too.
Ohno: I want to do this with the 5 of us together.
Sakurai: Me too. Thank you everyone for writing in to this program. From those who sent in their messages, we’ll pick 20 people and present them with “Kiiroi Namida” book cover. And we have an announcement. The movie “Kiiroi Namida” starring Arashi, will start having nationwide roadshows starting this Saturday, 28th April.
Ohno: Nationwide!
Sakurai: It’s nice isn’t it?
Ohno: So nice.
Sakurai: We hope you’ll watch it.
Ohno: Please do.
Sakurai: And on 2nd of May, our 19th single “We Can Make It!” will be released. This is the theme song for Matsumoto-kun’s drama, “Bambi~no!”
Ohno: Bambi~no!
Sakurai: What’s wrong? (laugh) Getting so high at the end…
Ohno: No no no… (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh) Are you okay?
Ohno: No no no… (laugh) I’m fine.
Sakurai: (laugh) I’ll move on.
Ohno: Ah, go on~ (sounding like a dragqueen)
Sakurai: And, 23rd of May, Wednesday, our Live Documentary DVD “Arashi Around Asia” will be released. Last year’s Asia tour’s concert performances, behind the scenes, everything is recorded. The first press limited edition includes Taiwan’s live concert in the bonus disc. We hope you would watch it. And this weekend, we’ll be performing at Tokyo Dome. Let’s have fun together.
Ohno: Yes, this is Tokyo Dome we’re talking about.
Sakurai: Yeah.
Ohno: We’ve done it in Osaka, and this time in Tokyo Dome.
Sakurai: My mom send me a mail on that. “Because you’re performing at Tokyo Dome this month, I went to watch it with your brother, the Giants baseball game.”
Ohno: So random (laugh)
Sakurai: Unexpected right? (laugh) I didn’t know what to reply, and ended up saying “noted” (laugh)
Ohno: (laugh) Your mom is great, but (laugh)
Sakurai: I was shocked alright? She went to the venue before me. But we’re now performing at a place where they play baseball. Everyone, we’d love to have you around to watch us perform.
Ohno: Please come!
Sakurai: Ohno-san, thank you for the past 2 hours.
Ohno: Thank you.
Sakurai: How was it?
Ohno: It was just amusing.
Sakurai: Yeah.
Ohno: It’s rare to just talk to a member so naturally for 2 hours.
Sakurai: We talked about the phrase that members always say at the beginning of the program right? I know your phrase now.
Ohno: Really? What’s that?
Sakurai: You always say “just” “simply” “plainly”.
Ohno: I do??
Sakurai: Don’t you?
Ohno: Perhaps I do!
Sakurai: I’ll write this down. I may be able to use this information someday.
Ohno: (laugh) Well Sho-kun I know your phrase too.
Sakurai: What?
Ohno: “Kuso (sh*t) super terrible”
Sakurai: (burst out laughing)
Ohno: “I’m in deep sh*t”
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: Even when you’re eating.
Sakurai: It gets my spirits high… Uwa~ terrible like sh*t!
Ohno: (laugh)
Sakurai: (laugh)
Ohno: Everyone has their own phrase.
Sakurai: Yes indeed (laugh)
