Masuda Takahisa no Master Hits
2008.09.12
1. Opening: Massu says that he just ate fried rice, lol, and that it's delicious.
2. Question: What type of card games does Massu like to play?
Massu says that it's probably Black Jack, etc. He says that he's very bad at those games where one has to put the cards in order. He also says that he'd usually get told to go and play, but then he doesn't really understand the games and eventually stops playing~ (lol)
3. This week's NEWS: Recently Massu went to Karaoke with friends. One of the songs they picked was Kubota Toshinobu-san's song "Missing". Massu says that it's a song that he likes to listen to lately~ but when he finally went to sing it he didn't know the song entirely, so he didn't sing very well. The other news is that their new song "Happy Birthday" will be available at the Karaoke place starting mid-September!
*hello-q: I wonder how it sounds like with Massu singing it. ^^
4. Question: The listener says that she's born on October 2nd, so when she learned that the single will be released on Oct. 1st she's really happy. She asks Massu what are some things to pay attention to when listening to the song?
Massu says that he feels really happy and congratulates that listener. Something to note is that in the chorus, "umareta koto" & "deaeta koto" are followed by "wow~" and not "o~". He says that it probably wasn't very easy to tell, so maybe some listeners only realized it now. (lol)
5. Question: How is the new PV like and if anything interesting had happened during the filming?
Massu says that he can't say too much yet.** Then he goes about saying that the PV is actually 2-D but is also 3-D (lol?) Massu says that the set for the PV all look like they were made with paper~ The studio was really hot; they turned on the heat too~~ but it was fun. Members were all playing together.
** Master Hits is normally pre-recorded. By the time the show aired, the PV already came out (lol). The PV came out after he had recorded this episode of Master Hits and before its air time. ^^
Music: Happy Birthday
6. Question: Speaking of autumn/fall~ (Japanese) people usually describes it to be "Sports no Aki", etc., then for Massu, what kind of 'aki (autumn)" is it?
Massu immediately replied that it's "Gyoza no Aki" (lol). Summer is really hot so dumplings are not very suitable for that season, though he still eats it during the summer (lol).
7. Question: The listener is about to turn 20 (or just turned 20 yrs old.. utako forgot); she asks Massu what he thinks of turning 20 years old.
Massu congratulates the listener. He says that doesn't 20 years old seem like a huge step? When he was young he'd usually imagine that when he turns 20 he'd feel like an adult, but in the end he still feels like a child (lol). He says that when he turned 20, it didn't really feel like he's turning into an adult/stepping into adulthood. But, after becoming an adult Massu believes that one should "有言実行 (yuugen jikkou)"**. When you think of something you immediately go ahead and do it~ that's more like an adult.
** 有言実行 is like "carry out one's words" or "keep to one's promise"
8. Question: The listener wants to know what songs Massu usually listens to as he goes to sleep. The listener says that she usually listens to Tegomass's "Hajimete no asa".
Massu says that he's happy, then he comments that isn't that song's tempo a bit fast (for falling asleep)? But, when it comes to its lyrics it's probably suitable. Massu says that he usually listens to radio because DJs would sometimes play songs that he has never heard of before. Then he says that since he falls asleep fast he usually doesn't listen to anything. (lol)
9. Letter from Jenny:
hello-q: this is the famous part where Massu reads letter from an international fan called "Jenny". I think shounenarisu already translated this part very well, so I'm giving the link to her translation. Please click the link to go to a post at news_jpop where you'll find download links to this episode's recording.. and in the comments, shounenarisu's translation for this part. :)
--> link HERE.
Music: Summer Time
10. Master Beat: GanGanGanbatte
Massu explains that it's clearly a song expressing support. He even thinks that his solo line, "もしも君が呼んでる夜は 終電なくなったって 自転車乗って夜空をぶっ飛んでくから (At night if you call me, even if the last train is gone, I ride on my bicycle and fly the night sky to you)"** and Tegoshi's solo line, "いつか誰にも負けない愛で一生幸せにする まだ無理だな全然無理でもないでしょ (Someday with my love inferior to no one, I will make you happy forever; It's still impossible, but not completely impossible)"**, were all written very well. The lyricist for this song is zopp-san~ Massu praises him for always writing very nice lyrics.
** Official lyrics should be out these days, especially from those who've already got their copies. The lyrics here were dictated by ryoko (masuda_takahits ) ~ please go HERE.. to see her dictation and 'free' translation of this song! Thanks ryoko!
11. Ending: Massu says that there are other coupling songs from the new single that he'll probably play next week or the following week~ and he reminds everyone that "Happy Birthday" can be sung at karaoke places~
enjoy~ :D
