[translation] Snippets from Aiba's Rekomen 2017.11.03 - Re: Sato Ryuga
A listener sent in an email about Johnny's Jr. Sato Ryuga, who likes Aiba, and I thought the exchange that followed was pretty cute. And all the translations on my journal end up being about senpai-kouhai relations anyway so.
Listen here (from 16:32).
[C is Chika-san, Aiba's co-host on the show.]
C: From RyuRyu-chan in Gunma.
A: RyuRyu-chan?
C: RyuRyu-chan.
A: RyuRyu-chan.
C: "I'm a fan of Tokyo B Shounen's Sato Ryuga-kun."
A: Oh!
C: "The senpai Ryuga-kun admires is Aiba-kun, so I listened to your radio show."
A: Thank you.
C: "And I saw in a magazine that Sakurai-kun went to a meal with Nasu Yuto-kun from the same Tokyo B Shounen. I'd definitely like Aiba-kun to go for a meal with Ryuga-kun too!"
A: It's a request? (lol) It's a request, huh!
C: Sakurai-kun and Nasu Yuto-kun...
A: So...!
C: With the Aiba-kun he loves...
A: Aiba-kun... doesn't have the choice not to go, then. Right?
C: I think so.
(both laugh)
A: Ryuga-kun, right? Tell me about him?
C: Sato Ryuga-kun.
A: Ryuga-kun. Look him up. Show me? Ryuga-kun.
C: Oh, you haven't... So you haven't met him yet?
A: I don't think so. Or... At least, I haven't talked to him yet. It's a cool name, "Ryuga-kun".
C: It's written "dragon" and "me".
A: Tokyo B Shounen.
C: Tokyo B Shounen.
A: Ryuga-kun, right? Okay. I... (lol) How should I get in touch with him? I mean, I don't know his number?
C: Yeah.
A: And he doesn't know mine? So then... A meal... Eating... I tell the agency?
C: That's a good point. Then... Uh...
A: What should I do?
C: It'd be rude to tell him to email the show too, though. Right?
A: Right? So... Um...
C: Oh, so... From Nasu Yuto to Sakurai-kun. From Sakurai-kun to Aiba-kun. Contact him through this relay.
A: Oh so you mean first I ask for Nasu-kun's number from Sakurai-kun and ask Nasu-kun for Ryuga-kun's number?
C: That's right, that's right.
A: That's far. Huh? Is this something the senpai does?
C: (lol)
A: Right? Huh??
C: Well, that's...
A: Yeah?
C: Okay, then.
A: We'd connect easily that way.
C: Yeah.
A: So, since I know a few Juniors... I could go through them, I guess?
C: That's right.
A: That's right.
C: (lol)
A: Got it.
C: It's like Sato Ryuga-kun's been summoned by Aiba-kun.
A: Hahahaha huh? I'll feel bad if he thinks "did I do something wrong?"
C: It's okay!
A: Yes, it's okay. You haven't done anything.
C: Okay.
A: Okay.
C: Next.
(from 21:45)
A: Huh? Oh, what is it? This is Ryuga-kun.
C: Sato Ryuga-kun.
A: Ah. Ohhh... He's a cute kid. Huh? If this is him, isn't he still young?
C: I suppose so. There's his profile.
A: Oh there's his profile. How old is he? Oh. 2002? December 17?
C: 2002! So, 3rd year of middle school? Yeah.
A: Middle 3.
C: Middle 3.
A: Middle 3... Where do you eat with them?
C: A family restaurant!
A: (lol) So I have to think about the place and time, then.
C: Right (lol).
A: Lunch, then. Lunch is the best.
C: Not somewhere to drink alcohol, right?
A: That's bad.
C: That's bad, isn't it?
A: So... At noon...
C: Yes.
A: Steak or something.
C: Maybe yakiniku then.
A: A yakiniku place? With a slightly early start. An evening start.
C: I think yakiniku would be totally okay.
A: An evening start...
C: Yes.
A: And finishing at a good time.
C: Maybe even sushi train... would be good.
A: I guess so.
C: Yes.
A: I see.
C: Yes.
A: Got it! I'll think about it.
C: Right. You know...
A: We could also go when he's a bit older.
C: He admired Aiba-san since watching "Yokoso, Wagaya e" that he starred in.
A: I'm flattered.
C: He says he wants to act like Aiba-san.
A: That makes me happy. Thank you. Ryuga-kun.
C: Yes.
A: Okay, I remember now. Okay! So that's all for "Tell me, Aiba-chan". Now let's listen to a song. From the album 「untitled」, Aiba Masaki, Ohno Satoshi and Sakurai Sho with Bazuri Night.
