Masuda Takahisa no Master Hits
2008.07.25
1. Question: Does Massu prefer wearing yukata or jinbei?
Massu says that he would want to wear jinbei because the weather's hot so he'd want to wear short ones.
2. This Week's NEWS
Massu says that during Ai Ai Gasa's promotion period, there is a staff from JE whose watch was broken at the time, but it's one that he always wears. Tegoshi described it to be as broken as a joke, so Tegoshi mailed the staff and said that Tegomass would give him a new one as gift and that the two of them (Tegomass) would go buy it together, and he asked the staff if there's a particular watch that he wanted~~ But Massu says that after mailing him, neither Tesshi nor him had free time to go buy it together, then today (the day he was recording this episode of Master Hits), he saw that staff-san wearing a new watch. Massu says that he felt bad, it's all their fault that their schedules didn't match that the staff-san was forced to buy a new one for himself.
3. Live DVD Question: What does Massu want us (fans) to notice in the DVD?**
Massu says that this time the DVD will have concert clips from Tokyo Dome and Taiwan. He wants people to look at the opening the most, because they were standing by at a height of roughly 40 meters, then they descended in a 'transparent' elevator. Massu says that he and Koyama were really scared, but Ryo and the others were acting like it was nothing... but as the concert started he got really excited so he also held up his arms and wave. In contrast, Koyama's left hand was grabbing the bar the whole time (lol). Massu also said that the footage of NEWS members going to the bath is included too, except that he didn't go (lol).
** Note that this was in late July, the DVD hadn't released yet.
4. Master Hits's New Corner: "Minna Shitteru? (Does everyone know?)"
Massu explains that this is a corner where he wants to share 100% of his random knowledge with the listeners, but he says that he only knows a few things so he's going to try hard. (lol)
-- Question: Does Massu like soft water or hard water?
Massu says that the difference is that soft water is soft (XD) and hard water seems to be good for dieting. Master Hits staff got a bit suspicious of Massu, so they brought him hard and soft water and wanted him to distinguish them. Well, Massu got them right! Then Massu explains that he's the hard water type (i.e. drinks hard water more often), but sometimes he'd buy soft water too. But then he says that it's basically the packaging that usually determines whether or not he is going to buy the water (lol). Then he talks about how when he was little, he did not like carbonated water, because he didn't like how it is carbonated yet tasteless, but now he says he can drink it. Massu further explains that water in a person's body changes every 6 weeks, so if the two types of water can be balanced within the body it'd be a good thing to the body.
-- Because it's the first time they have this corner, so Massu says that he will work hard on this from now on~ This corner's structure/topic comes from listeners' mails asking Massu about random knowledge. Massu says that he'll try to expand on the various topics.
5. Question: When Massu wants to contact people, does he use mail or does he call?
He says that if it's someone he hadn't contacted in a long while, he'd use mail. If it's someone with whom he usually talks, then he'd call. Massu explains how he doesn't like the feeling when the person doesn't reply to the mail immediately. If he uses the phone and the person doesn't pick up then one would assume that he might be busy at the moment; but if it were mail, isn't it something that can be replied at almost anytime? If the person doesn't reply then he'd feel a bit restless (lol), so he says he usually uses the phone.
6. Question: Has Massu ever opened a CD and find that the CD is different from the one he intended to buy?
Massu says that it hasn't happened yet, and the CDs are pretty every time. But, he says that he doesn't like to open the CD case and find/see the little ad paper dropping onto the CD (lol). He asks if he's too picky. (lol)
7. Question: Is Massu's hair really straight?
Massu says yes ~very straight and quite big in volume.
8. Question: Does Massu have a way to pass the summer feeling relaxed?
He says that Tokyo's summer is really hot and extremely humid. Though his room doesn't have A/C, the living room's A/C is always on 28°C. Massu says that ultimately, what's best for the summer is to drink a lot of water after sweating. That's very good for the body. Then Massu thinks that maybe it's because his room doesn't have A/C, so he unknowingly used this way to train his body (lol). Finally, Massu emphasizes on the importance of water intake. The most important thing is to drink a lot of water! Don't get sunstroke oh!
9. Ending: Massu mentions again that you can see Summer Time PV at the karaoke places now.
