✌ video; 091112 走魂 #01 (english translation)
♥ This was surprisingly more enjoyable than I had anticipated. :) I still REALLY don't get the point of this show and worry about the life span, but this first episode was pretty fun mostly because the boys were pretty much ambushed into running across Tokyo to their press conference. I realise that subs have already been released while I was about halfway through, but I wanted to finish what I started. Translations are my understanding. I've definitely been staring at the computer too long... I'm seeing stars. *_*
➟ I don't guarantee accuracy because Japanese is not my native language, and I just fail at Japanese to English in general. Original meaning is only retained in the original language. English also tends to make less and less sense when I translate things.
➟ Everything sounds much better in my head.
➟ Anything originally in English is in capitals.
➟ Ask if you *really* want to use but I can't imagine why :)
➟ Have not proof-read~ ^^;;

St: Good morning. This is NTV "Soukon".
TY: Good morning.
MT: Good morning.
MT: What's going on?
St: From here on today is the first location shot...
TY & MT: Eh?
MT: From now?
St: Yeup.
TY: Did you hear about this?
MT: I didn't.
St: Your condition isn't very -?
TY: No our condition is fine, but~ we'll be running, right?
St: Yeah, cos it's a show where you run.
St: Well anyway why don't you change first?
MT: We'll change first and then you'll explain to us?
[9:15am on the streets in the city]
An: Meanwhile at that time...
St: Today is your location shot.
KK: But I'm in my normal clothes...
KK: Please inform me of the plans first.
[Please look at the location script]
KK: Wow, so TV-like!
KK: "Koyama call Kato out by phone."
KK: Uw ah this is serious!
[Koyama ringing Kato]
KK: Hello. *cracks up* Is that Kato-san? "Call your friend at once", they said.
KK: Um can I say I say it honestly? Things like this don't happen in Johnny's Jimusho normally. No, really.
*waiting 15 minutes*
KS: 'Morning.
KK: 'Morning.
KS: Is this for real?
KS: I was told today was my off day.
KS: OI! You guys are rough! OI!
KK: Oi, so rough!
KK: So... what... if you had explained it to us...
[announcing the plan for this time]
St: Today you have a press conference...
KS: Hah? Hah?!
St: Let's run to NTV.
KS: I have no idea what you're talking about.
KS: Eh from here? Eh? What? What? Where? I'M COMPLETELY PANICKING!
KK: *still cracking up since about a minute ago XD*
[Running to NTV where the press conference will be held]
An: The two groups are currently at Asakusa and Ikejiri. From there to NTV is about 8.5km.
An: Here are the Tegoshi and Masuda team starting from Asakusa.
St: Because we want to shoot a lot of footage of you running with your utmost effort...
MT: Ah okay. We'll do our best.
St: Ready~ START!
[9:30am start]
TY: I have no idea of the direction.
TY: Isn't it here? NTV?
MT: Uwah. Serious? We're running like this?
TY: This is strict, isn't it?
An: Meanwhile, departing from Ikejiri are team Koyama and Kato.
St: Ready~
KS: Is this okay?
St: START!
[9:30am start]
KS: We'll just start like that?
KK: Isn't there something like a "bang" or whatever?
St: Bang!
KK: Uwah, it's far!
An: Can these two continue running to NTV?
An: This is the route that TegoMasu will run from Asakusa.
TY: This is the first time running on the streets with Massu.
MT: This is the first time running on the streets for me.
MT: Wow~
MT: How long will it take?
MT: Is this pace okay?
TY: This is the first time running before a press conference. Even though that's obvious.
St: By the way do you two often run?
TY: I like running.
MT: I'm kind of yes and no. In primary school I was really bad at marathons.
MT: I've exceeded my capacity.
St: By the way, who has the fastest leg speed?
TY: I think Massu would be the fastest.
MT: I'm probably the fastest if it's short distances. But in total I think Tegoshi is amazing (over long distance).
TY: But us two TegoMasu are the two who like and are the best at sports/exercise.
St: By the way, Koyama and Kato are running on a different route at the moment.
TY: Ah, really?
St: How will those two do?
MT: When you change to them, I think those two will be exhausted. Well then, let's have a look. Douzo~ :D
KK: This is so tiresome/bothersome!
[Just like they expected]
KS: Tiresome.
KK: Tiresome!
Mn: This is the route that Koyama and Kato are running along.
St: This is national highway route number 246.
KS: Won't there be a lot of people then?
KS: It's hard to run because there are so many people.
KK: Wow.
KS: I run now and then but the sprint at the start and of course the last half is intense.
KS: There are a lot of slopes around here, aren't there?
KS: It's kind of constantly been uphill.
[The long uphill slope continues until Shibuya]
[Idols running among the people congestion of Shibuya]
An: Furthermore, these two are...
KK & KS: Soukon! Soukon! Soukon!
An: Meanwhile, the TegoMasu two are running along silently unlike Koyama and Kato.
TY: Wow we're really running seriously.
MT: We're really running.
St: You guys look really cool.
MT: Really?
TY: So simple.
[The relatively simple Masuda]
TY: Is this Okachi city?
MT: Yeah it is. Okachi city station.
MT: Left?
TY: It's Okachi city station.
TY: Wow. Looks like Nakameguro (station).
An: Once they pass Okachi city, there's a harsh uphill slope waiting for them. And then Masuda...
TY: Masuda-san, please!
MT: This slope is incredible. It came to me all of a sudden.
TY: The slope has ended! Right-oh~!
TY: Uwah, it's Yushimatenjin (shrine)!
MT: Ee~
TY: Wow~
An: The two of them stop for a short visit for wish for the success of the new show.
St: What did you wish for?
MT: We can't say that.
St: Success for the show?
TY: Things like to improve as TegoMasu from now on...
An: They also go to the written oracles.
MT: Sport and activities where you move your body will be good luck.
TY: Good, good.
MT: For your health, pay attention to your insufficient exercise.
TY: The Okay!
MT: Isn't it spot on?
An: TegoMasu once again head off to NTV.
TY: Wah, going down is tough too.
MT: Going down to great~
An: And then...
TY: Japan Walking Association.
MT: It's appeared.
MT: Aren't you jealous?
TY: What?
TY: Do you mean you want to walk?
[Masuda, do you want to walk?]
MT: Uuum, no... er, of course I love that.
TY: It's not "AruKon" (Walking Spirit/Soul, as opposed to "SouKon" which means Running Spirit/Soul), right? It's "SouKon", right? Let's run.
MT: Yes.
TY: Then let's go.
An: Here is team Koyama and Kato around Shibuya, heading towards Aoyama.
[Here, Kato suddenly...]
KS: Ah, 's my school.
KK: So cool.
KS: 's my school.
KK: What university is it?
KS: 's Aoyama University. What's your university?
KK: Meiji University.
St: Ah, so smart.
[The unexpectedly smart two...]
KS: *sings* My alma mater, Aoyama University~
KK: Soukon!
[Aoyama University which Kato attends]
KS: That's John Wesley who founded our university.
[John Wesley-san]
KK: Oh! Wesley!
St: When's your graduation?
KS: Graduation is next March.
KK: Enough, Shige!
St: You're currently attending?
KS: Yes currently.
St: Have you been taught my John Wesley?
KS: John Wesley's already dead.
St: Eh?
KS: This is an antique street.
KS: Never seen people running a marathon through an antique street before.
KK: Intense!
An: The two reach Nishiasa city.
KK: This! It'd be great if we could ride this!
[Bus going to Shinbashi in sight!]
KK: There's no way we'll make it!
KS: Bus was fast, wasn't it?
[We know]
KS: Wasn't it pretty fast?
An: They've passed Nishiasa and are heading towards Roppongi.
KK: Wow, we've come as far as Roppongi!
KS: Po po po po po po po~
An: At that time, team TegoMasu who passed Akihabara...
MT: Tegoshi! Oi, Tegoshi!
[Tegoshi leaving Masuda behind]
MT: That guy's left me behind.
TY: Are you okay?
MT: Even though I believed...
TY: Eh? What?
MT: That you'd match your pace to mine.
TY: Ah, sorry sorry. We kinda got separated, didn't we?
MT: Ah, I'm tired.
MT: Rest? Ah, sounds good.
TY: Shall we?
MT: Since there's a park.
TY: There certainly is~ XD
[Taking a break in the park]
An: Well then, scenes of the two of them taking a break in the park.
[Water fountain theme song 2009 - Miso Soup / TegoMasu]
[Phoning Koyama and Kato]
An: Here they try to phone team Koyama and Kato.
[Koyama and Kato currently at Roppongi with 3.3km remaining. Tegoshi and Masuda currently at Kanda with 3.4km remaining]
MT: Who's this?
KK: Koyama. Koyama.
MT: Ah, Koyama?
KK: Isn't it hard being Tegoshi's partner?
MT: Yeah, guess it would've been better paired up with Shige. Tegoshi's too fast! It'll be another 1km before we arrive.
KK: EH?! We're only at Roppongi.
TY: Big liar.
KK: Well then I'll pass it over to Shige.
KS: Can you see NTV? Seriously?
TY: NTV is just in front of us.
KS: Really?
TY: It's towering in front of us.
TY: Hurry up, hurry up! Okay, okay.
MT: What'd they say?
TY: "Oh no, oh no, they're only another 500m! Oh no!"
MT: Then I guess, arriving first...
TY: Yeah.
MT: Let's arrive first.
TY: We'll get there and wait for them.
[Shocking reality from the staff]
St: By the way, the press conference starts at 11:00.
MT: Starts at 11:00...
MT & TY: Eh?!
TY: For real?
[Preparations for the press conference were progressing]
St: Perhaps we should hurry?
TY: Was this break necessary, then?
St: Yeah...
TY: It isn't something that was decided just now is it?
St: It's been decided for a while now.
TY: When we went "let's take a break in the park" if you had said a few words like "sorry but there's no time"... why was I climbing the park facilities?
TY: Oh dear, oh dear oh dear~
TY: This isn't so flexible.
St: The press conference is at 11:00.
KK: We have to arrive in 30 minutes?
KK: 's no way!
St: Will we make it?
KK: Why weren't we told about the time earlier?
KS: What's the time now?
St: 10:30.
KS: 10:30?
An: Will the four of them make it in time for the press conference at 11:00?
An: NEWS who are aiming to reach NTV at 11:00 for the press conference are currently here, but will they make it in time?
[TegoMasu who took a break and running]
TY: This is totally like the hare in "The Hare and the Tortoise".
MT: You might be right.
TY: Our last break, really~
MT & TY: Sha sha sha sha~
[at the moment 10:35]
MT: Oote city! Have I been here before?
TY: No, maybe not.
MT: Oh? What's this?
TY: Oh?
TY: Isn't this the Imperial Palace?
MT: Ah... Imperial Palace~ wow!
TY: That's a canal, right?
MT: Ah, you're right. Ah, so nice, Imperial Palace.
TY: Isn't this a lovely atmosphere?
TY: Raises your tension, doesn't it?
MT: Imperial Palace is great~
TY: Here it is. These kind of discoveries occur while running, don't they?
[Idols running along the canal of the Imperial Palace, sacred ground for runners]
TY: KoyaShige are you watching? Are you alright? Will you make it in time? Eh?
[At that time, Kato and Koyama were]
KS: I hate having Tegoshi be angry at me!
KK: Run!
KK: Ah, uphill.
KS: It's called "Nagaizaka" (literally means long slope/hill). I don't like the name~
KK: Tokyo Tower's so close!
KK: Wow, so big! (They wrote this in green but it's obviously Koyama talking. LOL XD)
[passing Tokyo Tower]
KK: Humongous!
KS: Yeah, huge!
St: Another 15 minutes!
KS: Will we make it?
KK: Will we make it?
KS: But it's tiring, ne~ right now is the most tiring.
KS: NTV, where's NTV?
KK: Oh no!
KS: 10 more minutes...
[Right now it's 10:50]
St: Remaining 1.5km! 10 minutes!
KS: We still can't see NTV?
KK: Not yet.
KS: Ah, my legs are starting to hurt.
KK: I understand.
KS: Onarimon!
KK: Lawson!
KS: Lawson!
St: Wanna drop by Lawson?
KS: We won't drop by Lawson!
KK: If we dropped by Lawson we wouldn't make it in time!
MT: Left?
TY: Left.
MT: Yosh!
TY: Sha sha sha sha sha~
TY: It's the last spurt.
TY: Isn't that NTV?
MT: Huh?
TY: That's NTV! That's NTV!
TY: That's where the press conference will be held.
MT: Almost there.
TY: It's right there.
MT & TY: Yosha~ we can see it!
KK: Ah, NTV!
KS: Which, which? That tall guy? The tall guy above?
KK: Yeah. That tall guy!
KS: That guy with lots of red stuff on it?
KK: Yaaay!
KK & KS: *high five*
KS: When we high-fived just then, "Ashita kkara mata" (lyrics from weeeek)
KK: "Hora sui moku mawatte"
KK & KS: "Kin do nichi you yume no hibi wo daiji ni ikimashou"
KK: I think we'll already not make it~
KS: Legs feel so heavy.
KS: But we can see it!
KK: Have TegoMasu arrived?
St: Dunno.
[Currently 10:56. Last spurt until NTV!]
An: So who will reach the goal first?
[Who is the first to arrive?]
An: Which team will arrive at NTV first?
The ones who did it are team Koyama and Kato.
KK & KS: YAYYY!
[10:58am, team Koyama and Kato GOAL!]
KS: Why were you guys being like we couldn't do it?
St: You can do it if you try.
KK: We won!
KS: Hard, it was hard at the end.
[At that time, TegoMasu...]
St: How is it now that you've finally reached Shinbashi?
TY: We've arrived!
MT: Really exciting.
TY: Various things... like uphill roads... and breaks...
St: How is it?
KS: Like, I'm suuuper happy right now.
KK: Feels good. :)
KS: Feels super good.
KK: Why is it, I guess. There's a sense of achievement.
KS: There is, there is.
St: Where did it get difficult?
KK: From Shiba park.
KS: For me, from Roppongi...
KK: Aren't TegoMasu slow?
[The two hide and wait for TegoMasu]
An: TegoMasu finally
TY: Yosha~!
St: Turn right here.
TY: Stairs?
MT: Stairs~ ^^;;
TY: Let's go!
TY: YAAAY!
[11:03am, team Tegoshi and Masuda GOAL!]
KS: Congrats, congrats.
KK: Congrats.
KS: Ahh, congrats. You were so slow~!
KK: Good work, good work, good work.
KS: Good work, good work, good work.
TY: We pretty much flew, the last half. Wasn't it fast?
St: Press conference...!
KK: Oh yeah.
St: It's starting.
TY: It's starting?!
KK: What do you mean by "it's starting"?
KK: Isn't this okay for today, just finishing up like this?
St: Hurry, hurry~
St: Let's go!
TY: Hurry up?
An: The four hurry to the press conference.
An: And right now we have Tegoshi-san, Masuda-san, Koyama-san and Kato-san from NEWS who have arrived. Big round of applause, please.
[Not quite digesting the situation...]
MT: Sorry for being late.
KS: We're completely not digesting the situation, but...
KK: My knee's shaking.
KS: Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Pr: All of them have just run here, but without further delay, please talk about the highlights for this TV program.
MT: So fast!
KS: All of a sudden?
KK: Please give us a moment! We're still short of breath!
An: Well then from Koyama-san, please.
KS: Seriously we haven't heard anything about this.
KK: Er today, thank you for your time from during your hectic work.
KK: Anyway, it seems we'll be doing a TV show called "Soukon"
KS: We're being let to do this.
KS: "Soukon" is written with the words "hashiru" (to run) and "tamashi" (soul).
[The four talk enthusiastically]
An: On table there are plants... we're wondering what they are. These are?
KS: Now I know.
KS: If we run, we can plant as many trees as we run.
An: In the TV show, Lawson will collaborate with the aforestation project. Every episode, depending on the points for how they respond to the instructions, trees will be planted.
KK: For a green earth~
KK & KS & TY & MT: SOUKON!

[Water fountain theme song 2009 - Miso Soup / TegoMasu]
[Phoning Koyama and Kato]
An: Here they try to phone team Koyama and Kato.
[Koyama and Kato currently at Roppongi with 3.3km remaining. Tegoshi and Masuda currently at Kanda with 3.4km remaining]
MT: Who's this?
KK: Koyama. Koyama.
MT: Ah, Koyama?
KK: Isn't it hard being Tegoshi's partner?
MT: Yeah, guess it would've been better paired up with Shige. Tegoshi's too fast! It'll be another 1km before we arrive.
KK: EH?! We're only at Roppongi.
TY: Big liar.
KK: Well then I'll pass it over to Shige.
KS: Can you see NTV? Seriously?
TY: NTV is just in front of us.
KS: Really?
TY: It's towering in front of us.
TY: Hurry up, hurry up! Okay, okay.
MT: What'd they say?
TY: "Oh no, oh no, they're only another 500m! Oh no!"
MT: Then I guess, arriving first...
TY: Yeah.
MT: Let's arrive first.
TY: We'll get there and wait for them.
[Shocking reality from the staff]
St: By the way, the press conference starts at 11:00.
MT: Starts at 11:00...
MT & TY: Eh?!
TY: For real?
[Preparations for the press conference were progressing]
St: Perhaps we should hurry?
TY: Was this break necessary, then?
St: Yeah...
TY: It isn't something that was decided just now is it?
St: It's been decided for a while now.
TY: When we went "let's take a break in the park" if you had said a few words like "sorry but there's no time"... why was I climbing the park facilities?
TY: Oh dear, oh dear oh dear~
TY: This isn't so flexible.
St: The press conference is at 11:00.
KK: We have to arrive in 30 minutes?
KK: 's no way!
St: Will we make it?
KK: Why weren't we told about the time earlier?
KS: What's the time now?
St: 10:30.
KS: 10:30?
An: Will the four of them make it in time for the press conference at 11:00?
An: NEWS who are aiming to reach NTV at 11:00 for the press conference are currently here, but will they make it in time?
[TegoMasu who took a break and running]
TY: This is totally like the hare in "The Hare and the Tortoise".
MT: You might be right.
TY: Our last break, really~
MT & TY: Sha sha sha sha~
[at the moment 10:35]
MT: Oote city! Have I been here before?
TY: No, maybe not.
MT: Oh? What's this?
TY: Oh?
TY: Isn't this the Imperial Palace?
MT: Ah... Imperial Palace~ wow!
TY: That's a canal, right?
MT: Ah, you're right. Ah, so nice, Imperial Palace.
TY: Isn't this a lovely atmosphere?
TY: Raises your tension, doesn't it?
MT: Imperial Palace is great~
TY: Here it is. These kind of discoveries occur while running, don't they?
[Idols running along the canal of the Imperial Palace, sacred ground for runners]
TY: KoyaShige are you watching? Are you alright? Will you make it in time? Eh?
[At that time, Kato and Koyama were]
KS: I hate having Tegoshi be angry at me!
KK: Run!
KK: Ah, uphill.
KS: It's called "Nagaizaka" (literally means long slope/hill). I don't like the name~
KK: Tokyo Tower's so close!
KK: Wow, so big! (They wrote this in green but it's obviously Koyama talking. LOL XD)
[passing Tokyo Tower]
KK: Humongous!
KS: Yeah, huge!
St: Another 15 minutes!
KS: Will we make it?
KK: Will we make it?
KS: But it's tiring, ne~ right now is the most tiring.
KS: NTV, where's NTV?
KK: Oh no!
KS: 10 more minutes...
[Right now it's 10:50]
St: Remaining 1.5km! 10 minutes!
KS: We still can't see NTV?
KK: Not yet.
KS: Ah, my legs are starting to hurt.
KK: I understand.
KS: Onarimon!
KK: Lawson!
KS: Lawson!
St: Wanna drop by Lawson?
KS: We won't drop by Lawson!
KK: If we dropped by Lawson we wouldn't make it in time!
MT: Left?
TY: Left.
MT: Yosh!
TY: Sha sha sha sha sha~
TY: It's the last spurt.
TY: Isn't that NTV?
MT: Huh?
TY: That's NTV! That's NTV!
TY: That's where the press conference will be held.
MT: Almost there.
TY: It's right there.
MT & TY: Yosha~ we can see it!
KK: Ah, NTV!
KS: Which, which? That tall guy? The tall guy above?
KK: Yeah. That tall guy!
KS: That guy with lots of red stuff on it?
KK: Yaaay!
KK & KS: *high five*
KS: When we high-fived just then, "Ashita kkara mata" (lyrics from weeeek)
KK: "Hora sui moku mawatte"
KK & KS: "Kin do nichi you yume no hibi wo daiji ni ikimashou"
KK: I think we'll already not make it~
KS: Legs feel so heavy.
KS: But we can see it!
KK: Have TegoMasu arrived?
St: Dunno.
[Currently 10:56. Last spurt until NTV!]
An: So who will reach the goal first?
[Who is the first to arrive?]
An: Which team will arrive at NTV first?
The ones who did it are team Koyama and Kato.
KK & KS: YAYYY!
[10:58am, team Koyama and Kato GOAL!]
KS: Why were you guys being like we couldn't do it?
St: You can do it if you try.
KK: We won!
KS: Hard, it was hard at the end.
[At that time, TegoMasu...]
St: How is it now that you've finally reached Shinbashi?
TY: We've arrived!
MT: Really exciting.
TY: Various things... like uphill roads... and breaks...
St: How is it?
KS: Like, I'm suuuper happy right now.
KK: Feels good. :)
KS: Feels super good.
KK: Why is it, I guess. There's a sense of achievement.
KS: There is, there is.
St: Where did it get difficult?
KK: From Shiba park.
KS: For me, from Roppongi...
KK: Aren't TegoMasu slow?
[The two hide and wait for TegoMasu]
An: TegoMasu finally
TY: Yosha~!
St: Turn right here.

St: Let's go!
TY: Hurry up?
An: The four hurry to the press conference.
An: And right now we have Tegoshi-san, Masuda-san, Koyama-san and Kato-san from NEWS who have arrived. Big round of applause, please.
[Not quite digesting the situation...]
MT: Sorry for being late.

KK: My knee's shaking.
KS: Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Pr: All of them have just run here, but without further delay, please talk about the highlights for this TV program.
MT: So fast!
KS: All of a sudden?
KK: Please give us a moment! We're still short of breath!
An: Well then from Koyama-san, please.
KS: Seriously we haven't heard anything about this.
KK: Er today, thank you for your time from during your hectic work.
KK: Anyway, it seems we'll be doing a TV show called "Soukon"
KS: We're being let to do this.
KS: "Soukon" is written with the words "hashiru" (to run) and "tamashi" (soul).
[The four talk enthusiastically]
An: On table there are plants... we're wondering what they are. These are?
KS: Now I know.
KS: If we run, we can plant as many trees as we run.
An: In the TV show, Lawson will collaborate with the aforestation project. Every episode, depending on the points for how they respond to the instructions, trees will be planted.
KK: For a green earth~
KK & KS & TY & MT: SOUKON!
