Let go
2 weeks til I leave!:D
I'm really excitedXD I still haven't finished all the planning, but I have confidence I can manage it as long as I put my nose to the grindstone... I went to the physiotherapist and I'm back in fine fighting form (I get to try acupuncture on Wednesday, sounds like fun!). People at my work are starting to put in requests for souvenirs (yeah, if you'll pay the luggage surcharge, sure;P). And I have to plan my next grocery purchases carefully so I don't have a whole bunch of rotten food when I get backXD Agh, plus I've started getting cravings for so many foods, it's not even funny...all yesterday I was dying for yakisoba (so I made yakiudon today...a little too salty though, I wonder if putting cold mango in it will help...), just thinking about taiyaki and okonomiyaki and takoyaki and melon-pan and dorayake and kitsune-udon and kakikouri makes my mouth water like you would not believe (and that list is interminableO_o). Just as long as I spend at least 4 hours a day walking I should have room...XD
And this week's Maou was alternately exquisitely suspenseful and heart-wrenchingly bittersweet<3 It's so long to wait til friday...>_<
Ah well, moving along, I have thought of a proposal in terms of translating. I thought I'd finish off both GRA and Shukudai-kun's remaining 2007 stuff, but after that I'm opening the field up to requests. So everyone, tell me what *you* want to see (to avoid things like the figure-skating SP which, for good reason, was just not a big hit^^;;), and I'll try to go from there. Anything up to last week in any show is up for grabs, first come first serve;) This goes for when I get back as well, because with both school and work there's no way I can catch up if I go in a linear fashion, so I'll do what I can^^ Please let me know what you think of this idea.
Today I have the translation of the Shukudai-kun from 07.12.03 with crazy Katsuyo's hubbie and Aiba and Sho's gunshot scene;P
Ogura: Arashi's Homework begins~!
Sho: So, a large box has been delivered this week as well. Please take a look at this here: the emperor of suspense.
Ogura: Today ne, it seemed like your way of treating him was more courteous than usual.
Jun: We were kind of nervous when we brought in the box.
Ohno: It's been a while since we felt that nervousness.
Sho: And also, his wife is an entertainer.
Ogura: I know who it is.
Sho: Jinnai-san, a second time. (writing)
Ogura: That can't be right~. I mean, he's not an emperor right.
Aiba: That's right.
Ogura: An emperor is...
Aiba: -t-t-t-t-t-this way.
[writing: Rapid fire?]
Sho: T-t-t-t-there it~ is~! (writing)
Aiba: There what is? What is it?
Sho: I have other information: cliffs suit him. (writing)
Aiba/Sho: T-t-t-t-there it~ is~!
Nino: Okay, Ogu-san, if you please.
Oguta: let's open it.
Sho: This is today's guest, come on out~.
[writing: Funakoshi Eiichirou]
[Announcer: Tonight Funakoshi-san proposes questions for a quiz on his wife. A quiz all about Matsui Kazuyo-san. Furthermore,
the emperor of suspense does a true to life performance. Is he trying to make us laugh? It's just about to begin~!]
Sho: Once again, today's gurest is Funakoshi Eiichirou-san, your favor please~!
Eiichirou: Your favor please.
Sho: Your favor please.
Eiichirou: There's one more here ne. She's was feeling kind of sad because she wasn't called.
Sho: I apologize. What's her name?
Eiichirou: There's a movie called [The Story of Mari and the Puppies] which is being released December 8th ne. This is Ichi-chan, who
played the lead character Mari. There was that earthquake that was centered in Niigata ne, that earthquake ne. There was
a village named Yamakoshi Village that was abandonned, and in that village there was a dog named Mari ne. That dog gave
birth to three puppies during the earthquake. Because everyone was evacuated there wasn't a single person left ne. It's
a movie with the dog as the lead character, protecting her newly born pups and mriaculously leading them back to civilization.
Sho: So we heard that there were some really hard scenes that you had to do together. (writing)
Eiichirou: There are scenes where she and I are sleeping together, in the actual movie they only appear for about 10~15 seconds. But
it turns out that for that 15 seconds it takes a whole day ne. 100 people (staff) are being really quiet, and just when you
think she's fallen asleep there's somebody who makes a noise. (writing)
Sho: Ah~, there is, there is, the KY guy ne. (writing)
Eiichirou: That's totally how it is.
[writing: KY?]
Aiba: Ah, I can relate ne.
Eiichirou: Definitely, right?
Sho: Ogu-san, let's move along to the first homework.
Ogura: Homework from the guest for the audience: investigate and submit unusual home-cooked curry. You like curry?
Eiichirou: I love curry.
Ogura: Like a child ne.
Eiichirou: Yes.
[Announcer: Which is to say that when we asked for people's home-cooked curry we received a lot of submissions. Ah~, it's all very
unusual curry ne.]
Jun: To begin with I'll go to the first one. This is their home-cooked unusual curry.
Sho: What is that?
Eiichirou: What is that??
Ogura: This is oden!
Jun: This is oden curry. (writing)
Aiba: Doesn't this kind of feel like something I would come up with? Is this okay?
Sho: Well, what's most important is this flavor-
Jun: Well, it appears that Yuuki-Bunny, the one who submitted it, actually eats it.
[Announcer: The oden left over from yesterday is revitalized as curry. The way to make it is just to boil the oden into the curry roux.
A unique item that is gaining notice from magazines.]
Eiichirou: So in short, they put curry powder in the oden pot. (writing)
Jun: They put in curry powder.
Eiichirou: Here I go.
Ohno: I can imagine.
Ogura: Be honest.
Eiichirou: Delicious.
Sho: Delicious?
[writing: Apparently delicious]
Ogura: Delicious?
Eiichirou: Delicious. It's definitely a go. You could sell this. (writing)
Sho: Is that so?
Ogura: You could sell it?? (writing)
Aiba: As oden curry?
Eiichirou: Yeah. The curry at soba restaurants is delicious isn't it? (writing)
Aiba: that's right ne, yes yes.
Eiichirou: It's like they've added rice and oden to that southern-style curry ne.
Jun: Uwa~, I see.
Ogura: You could sell it?
[writing: Restaurant owner]
Ogura: You're saying you could sell it-
Eiichirou: It would sell well.
Ogura: Well, if you could sell it...
Nino: Your eyes changed Ogura-san.
Ogura: You could sell this...
Eiichirou: You really could sell this.
Ogura: Hang on...this is delicious.
Eiichirou: Delicious isn't it?
Ogura: it's delicious! Oden curry works.
Eiichirou: It does.
Aiba: It's a crime for it to be this delicious ne. (writing)
Eiichirou: Then you should arrest them;)
Jun: There appears to be a key to this" if you put in things like pouches or deep-fried tofu that really suck up the broth it'll make
it very watery, so it's better to avoid them.
Sho: Delicious~. (writing)
Eiichirou: It's delicious ne.
Ogura: Ah, Leader's going for an egg.
Aiba: Leader's done it.
Eiichirou: The egg will definitely will delicious.
Ogura: The egg will definitely be delicious.
Jun: Please eat it.
Ohno: Ah, delicious~! (writing)
Jun: ogura-san, he's taking quite a bit ne.
Eiichirou: The egg is awesome! I wonder how the daikon is. (writing)
Jun: You're still going??
Nino: One more, for now he'll try one more time.
Eiichirou: This is refreshing.
Ogura: Ne.
Eiichirou: It's an unspeakable treat! (writing)
Nino: That's an amazing way to put it.
Jun: Next is a submission from Tottori-ken's Makudani-san. This is it.
Ogura: What? That's salted fish isn't it. (writing)
Jun: They say this is salted fish curry.
Eiichirou: This is already in it?
Jun: No, it's not. This is ordinary curry ne. In this situation you put in half a container of salted fish-
Ogura: Are you okay with salted fish?
Eiichirou: Totally okay, but isn't that a lot?? Isn't that salty?
Aiba: Funakoshi-san, let's go, go ahead, go ahead, let's go.
[writing: The guest can go ahead and start]
Sho: Go ahead.
Jun: If you please.
Eiichirou: You mix this in ne. (writing)
Jun: Yes.
Aiba: What'll happen ne...
Sho: There's no concept of this ne, no concept.
Eiichirou: Okay, thanks for the food~.
[writing: How is it?]
Sho: Oh! Could it be...
Aiba: Amazing. His face has gotten serious.
Jun: How is it?
Aiba: What does that mean?
Nino: Did you find it?
Jun: This is...
Eiichirou: Delicious. (writing)
Aiba: Delicious?? You're kidding!
Sho: No way.
Eiichirou: I did put on an act... (writing) But more than just delicious, this works.
Nino: It's totally a go?
Eiichirou: Go. (writing)
Nino: That was a grim 'go' huh. (writing)
Jun: It seems that the saltiness of the salted fish eases the spicyness of the curry.
Eiichirou: Ah, you can say that again ne.
Ogura: This is delicious. I like salted fish by itself, I like curry by itself, why did they have to put them together? (writing)
Aiba: Ogura-san, the more you say it the more of a go it is.
Eiichirou: Ne, it's a go for me too. (the flavor is) fairly sharp ne. (writing)
Aiba: That's right, that's right. Sharp?
Jun: Is that so?
Ogura: It's extremely sharp.
Aiba: You could say it's got spirit to it-
Eiichirou: It's a flavor with guts ne.
[writing: A flavor with guts?]
Sho: This is maximum delicious. (writing)
Eiichirou: Delicious?
Jun: There's the 'maximum'.
Ogura: Don't you sense a raw smell? (writing)
Sho: I do, but that also kind of disappears into the curry you could say...
Jun: This's delish. (writing)
Aiba: ne.
Eiichirou: It could be that young people would be better able to accept it without resistance. (writing)
Ogura: What's that supposed to mean? (writing)
Eiichirou: You're the one who's saying it the most.
Ogura: For me the curry and salted fish are competing in my mouth ne. (writing)
EiichiroU: With this ne, salted fish and curry are too strong as fixed concepts. (writing)
Aiba: I see ne.
Eiichirou: You get kind of fixed in your way of thinking.
[writing: Stubborn old man?]
Nino: Next. Let's go to the next one.
Jun: This is a submission from Tokyo's Batabata-mama-san.
Ogura: Senbei in curry? (writing)
Jun: Yes. This is senbei curry.
Ogura: So you put it on the senbei and eat it?
Jun: No, it's different ne.
[Announcer: You just break as many pieces as you want of senbei into plain curry and boil them to your preferred firmness.]
Jun: Apparently the senbei become an undescribable texture, kind of like potato stew or beef.
Sho: I'm looking forward to this.
Jun: And we made some earlier, this is it.
Ogura: Where's the senbei?
Jun: Right here ne.
[writing: Senbei]
Ogura: Ah, that's senbei?
Jun: Yes.
Sho: Ah but ne, what kind of sensation will it have ne? (writing)
Jun: How is it, how's the smell?
Aiba: The smell;P
Ogura: You're not the police. (writing)
Eiichirou: The smell seems pretty promising. (writing)
Jun: Ah, really?
Eiichirou: I think I'll try it~.
Sho: Go detective! (writing)
Aiba: If you please!
[writing: Crunch crunch]
Ogura: It's going crunch crunch! Doesn't that mean it wasn't cooked enough? (writing)
Eiichirou: This is also pretty good is. (writing)
Sho: You're kidding.
Eiichirou: Er, not 'is'. It's pretty good.
Aiba: You kind of seemed like a comedian there. Does it resemble meat? (writing)
Eiichirou: Since it's still crispy it's more like eating something fried than meat. (writing)
Aiba: Ah, I see ne~.
Sho: Mr. Fixed Concept Ogu-san. (writing) Please try eating it.
Ogura: Ah, if you boiled this a fair bit...
Sho: Delicious?
Ogura: It's kind of a 'what is this?' feeling. (writing)
Jun: A new taste sensation?
Ogura: Yeah.
Sho: It's squishy.
Jun: It's kind of like deep-fried fish paste ne. (writing)
Ogura: That's right, that's right, that kind of sensation.
Sho: Delicious~. (writing)
Nino: It's delicious?
Sho: Yeah.
Ogura: he said it's delicious just now?
Sho: Delicious~, what is this? Ah, the texture was a little rough, but the flavor is exquisitely delicious. (writing)
Ohno: Wha-...ham, what is it? (writing)
Ogura: it's ham huh.
Sho: Deep-fried breaded ham? (writing)
Ohno: It's deep-fried breaded ham.
Ogura: Deep-fried breaded ham.
Sho: It's like deep-fried breaded ham.
Eiichirou: Ah~, I see ne.
Sho: Dewish. (writing) So Ogura-san, let's move along to the next homework.
Ogura: Yes. Image homework on Funakoshi Eiichirou-san: 'what did you do last night?'
Sho: First Ohno-kun.
Ohno: Yes. A submission from Suspender-san in Tokyo: last night Funakoshi-san wrote the proposal for the next suspense drama. (writing)
Sho: It's Funakoshi-san thinking them up?
Eiichirou: I don't right proposals. (writing)
Nino: But you might be able to do it.
Aiba: I see ne.
Nino: Instead of the 'Nishimura Kyotarou series' ne, it would be the 'Funakoshi Eiichirou series'. (writing)
Eiichirou: Well, I do talk with everyone and bring out ideas about what to do next ne. (writing) If I wrote them it would probably
be as a joke ne.
Nino: There's a lot with 'murder' type names after all ne.
Eiichirou: Ah, there are, there are.
[writing: XX Murder Case]
Eiichirou: Everyone really works hard to think up the titles ne.
Nino: That's right ne.
Eiichirou: I've wanted to try doing some unusual ones that would be a little fun for the audience ne, (writing)
[Announcer: Which means that, we'll introduce some suspense drama with slightly unusual names that actually aired]
Sho: First is this: Ramen Detective [Dragon]'s Murder Deduction.
[writing: Exactly what kind of drama is that?]
Sho: What is this all about? A ramen-loving-
Eiichirou: Sorry. This did appear! (writing)
Nino: Seriously??
Eiichirou: This is a Kanda Masaki-san series. (writing)
Ogura: Ah, is that so.
Eiichirou: Kanda Masaki-san is a ramen-loving detective ne. (writing) So he's a ramen-cop.
Ogura: He's a ramen-loving detective so he's a ramen-cop.
Eiichirou: he's a ramen-cop ne.
Aiba: He doesn't have any attacks using ramen does he? (writing) Something main?
Eiichirou: He doesn't use it as a weapon ne.
Nino: Arresting someone with bamboo shoots right. (writing)
Aiba: Totally.
Sho: So, let's move along to the next one.
Jun: This is amazing huh~.
Sho: Dance! Kingpin Investigator.
[writing: Exactly what kind of drama is that?]
Aiba: That 'dance' means...
Nino: There's a lot of aspects in that one ne.
Sho: That's right, that's right.
Ogura: Isn't it a kingpin-like investigator? (writing)
Nino: It's like a crime kingpin who also has a side that's a private investigator right?
Eiichirou: I know this one too! (writing)
Sho: As you would expect!
Nino: Let's do a quiz, let's do a quiz.
Eiichirou: Um, there was a movie called 'the dancing maharajah of India' ne. (writing)
Sho: That's right.
Eiichirou: The title is a rip-off of that ne. (writing) And, actually, the dancing is samba. (writing)
Nino: Ah, then, if it comes down to it, wouldn't it be 'dancing kingpin detective'? (writing)
Eiichirou: If you went that far it wouldn't make sense. The kingpin dances samba.
Sho: Which means that he's what kind of kingpin?
Jun: MatsuKen-san? (writing)
Eiichirou: Bingo!
Nino: Ah, is that so?
Eiichirou: Not MatsuJun-san, MatsuKen-san.
Jun: MatsuKen-san huh.
Eiichirou: Matsudaira ken-san is the kingpin of a gang in Shitamachi. And that kignpin resolves various cases ne. And after the case
has been solved, for some reason he dances (samba). (writing)
Sho: it's amazing that they went so far as to finish it off with MatsuKen-san ne.
Eiichirou: That's right.
Nino: It ends with 'ole' doesn't it. (writing)
Sho: Up to this point have there been any roles that were a lot of trouble? They say that acting out a death is a lot of trouble. (writing)
Eiichirou: Ah~, well ne, there was a point where I got shot by a machine gun and died.
Jun: A machine gun?
Eiichirou: All the staff were like 'being shot is your forte, so we'll leave it to you ne.' (writing) I was like 'okay, got it, got it'.
Then when I was on set in front of the camera wondering how it would turn out I was like 'crap. I've never done this'.
(writing). I've never done this. I've done being shot in the leg ne, or, of course, being shot here. But that was my first
time being shot in the heart and collapsing into death instantly ne. That was a good experience ne.
Sho: Was there a person who's done that kind of death performance? (writing)
Jun: I've never died huh~. (writing)
Nino: I die a lot ne. (writing)
Sho: What kind of deaths do you do, right now?
Nino: Illness or suicide, there was also being hit by a truck ne. But a while ago, when I was doing the war movie, in that scene where
everyone commits suicide with grenades, when you watch the film blood bursts out of their necks like this and they fall down
and die. But actually there's nothing there (blood). (writing) So everyone was going 'clang' and then like this, 'uwa!', just
like that. So everyone was going 'uwa' 'uwa' 'uwa', while I was laughing like this the whole time. (writing)
Eiichirou: There's a lot of scenes where you get shot with a pistol in detective dramas. Those ne, in rehearsal you have to vocalise
it ne. (writing) Like you're pretending to be kids, perfectly good adults are all like 'pow! pow! pow!'.
Aiba: That's a good vocaliztion, as you would expect of course.
Nino: Because that's the role ne.
Eiichirou: Locations inside the city are incredibly embarrassing ne. (writing) With everyone around you, going 'wait you bastard! Pow!'
(writing) It's amazing, everyone laughs as if on cue ne.
Sho: Hey, why don't wre try it? (writing)
Nino: Then, Sho-san and...
Aiba: Yeah, you should do it right?
Sho: Then you do it with me. (writing)
[writing: With Sakurai and Aiba]
Aiba: This is completely falling into my pattern of getting mixed up in things.
Nino: Then Sho-san and Aiba-san.
Aiba: Then, I'll shoot you, so please get shot. (writing)
Nino: A 'being shot' performance. (writing)
Aiba: That's right.
Nino: Let's see it.
Aiba: That's right. For Funakoshi-san.
Jun: This is an audition using radiowaves. (writing)
[writing: This is the national net]
Jun: Lots of different people are watching.
Nino: Now you'll get an appearance on 'Dangerous Cops'. (writing) As something like the 'third person'.
Aiba: So then I should shoot him right in the heart ne. Here I go.
Nino: make sure to say something like 'die~'. (writing)
Sho: Ah, okay, okay. Chase after me. (writing)
Nino: Isn't that backwards? Why is the cop running away?? (writing) The cop chases you into a dead-end and that's where you take out
the gun, right.
Sho: Ah, I'm the cop? (writing)
Aiba: I'm the cop right? (writing)
Sho: I'm the cop! (writing)
Aiba: Why, I'm doing it!
Nino: Why, what kind of police officer would say 'die!' and shoot. (writing)
Ogura: The cops don't shoot unarmed people.
Aiba: I see, so I'm shooting the cop.
Eiichirou: So the criminal ne, will be like 'stay away!'. And then you'll be like 'be reasonable and hand over the gun'.
Nino: That's right ne.
Eiichirou: Right? Like 'you won't do that kind of thing'. You try lots of ways to convince him and just when you think he'll give
in he does the opposite and shoots you.
Aiba: Ah, so from here it's 'stay away' ne? After you chase me into a corner I say 'stay away' and shoot you ne?
Sho: So I've chased you into a corner, I've chased you into a corner and here I am.
Aiba: Stay away! (writing)
Nino: Why are you laughing?? Cut!
[writing: Please do it seriously]
Jun: Okay, we'll go one more time~.
Aiba: Let's do it seriously.
Nino: This kind of thing, you know-
Aiba: That's right, Funakoshi-san's watching, what the heck is this?
nino: He'll get the role. (writing)
Aiba: That's right. It's a good chance isn't it.
Jun: Funakoshi's watching, so do it seriously ne.
Aiba: Do it seriously.
Jun: take two. Ready, start!
Aiba: Stay away!
Sho: Give me the gun.
Aiba: Stay away!
Ogura: It's no good...;P
Sho: Give me the gun.
Aiba: Stay away!!!
Sho: Ah...
[writing: Horrible!]
Jun: Cut!
Nino: That was awful.
Sho: It's perfect. (writing)
Aiba: I'm sorry, this is how our Sakurai is.
Sho: It's perfect! To all the other stations' producers, please favor me ne. (writing)
Nino: The emperor's one is something we can't see ne?
[writing: Emperor, if you please]
Sho: The emperor~, I want to see it!
Nino: Is that something we can see?
Eiichirou: Shall I do it?
[writing: If you please]
Sho: I want to see it ne~!
Nino: Ah, I really want to see it!
Jun: Amazing!
Eiichirou: This is embarrassing ne. (writing)
Nino: So, can we ask you to play the villain?
Aiba: You're okay with me?
Sho: This'll be amazing.
Eiichirou: Oh~, this is embarrassing ne! Alright, okay.
Jun: You're okay?
Eiichirou: Yes.
Jun: We're shooting the real thing. Ready, start!
Aiba: Stay away!
Eiichirou: Stop it. What are you going to do if you kill me? Be reasonable. Come on, just hand over the gun.
Aiba: Stay away!
Eiichirou: Stop it. You won't shoot.
Aiba: bang!
Eiichirou: You- shot me...
[writing: Shot me?]
Eiichirou: This can't be...
Jun: Cut!XD
[writing: Thank you]
Nino: Amazing.
Aiba: That's just as you would expect huh.
Jun: That's new ne. (writing)
Nino: 'You won't shoot me. You shot me!' (writing)
Sho: Surprising huh~.
Ogura: But that's how it ends up sometimes huh.
Nino: It does huh.
Ogura: You definitely think they won't shoot ne.
[Announcer: Now a sudden project!]
Ogura: Quiz Matsui Kazuyo! (writing)
[Announcer: Funakoshi Eiichirou-san has turned the things about his wife that he wishes to change but normally can't say into a quiz.
For some reason Funakoshi-san is also in the answering seats.]
Sho: Those who know the answer, please raise your hands. There's also a present for the winner, so all of you please do your best~.
Aiba: Oh, what is it?
Sho: Right now my lips are still sealed. (writing)
Aiba: Ah~, I see~, understood~.
Nino: That's frustrating~. I want to win!
Sho: So you might think it's strange that Funakoshi-san is sitting beside you.
Nino: That's right ne.
Sho: Funakoshi-san will give the final answer after everyone else has given their answer. So, well then let's move along, Ogura-san, if you
please!
Ogura: What do you think Funakoshi-san wants Matsui Kazuyo-san to stop doing? What could that be? Something he wants Matsui-san to
stop doing.
All: Yes!
Sho: Aiba-kun, go ahead.
Aiba: Farting in front of people. (writing)
Nino: She doesn't, she doesn't.
Eiichirou: Is that so?
Aiba: No no, I have no diea, I have no idea.
Eiichirou: Ah, but I don't really dislike it that much. (writing)
Aiba: Ah, then that's okay?
Nino: Yes yes.
Sho: Yes, then, Ninomiya-kun.
Nino: The limit on his allowance. (writing)
Eiichirou: Ah~, you know a lot ne. But I don't mind that much either. (writing)
Nino: It's wrong...
Sho: Matsumoto-kun.
Jun: Sometimes he wants to eat instant foods. (writing)
Eiichirou: You really all do know us well ne. I eat those in secret so it's okay. (writing)
Aiba: Ah, you do it secretly.
Nino: This is a new style ne. Having a person who knows on the panel. Like 'that's wrong isn't it?' (writing)
Sho: Ohno-kun.
Ohno: Occasionally grinding her teeth. (writing)
Eiichirou: Are you guys watching our house? (writing)
Jun: Is there a hint or something?
Sho: it's because they're living together... (writing)
Nino: Because they're living together?
Sho: That's right, that's right.
Nino: Yes! Their timing on going to the bathroom is for the most part the same. (writing) So every time it's like 'ah, again?'
Sho: That's wrong ne.
Aiba: What is it?
Ogura: Then, Funakoshi-san knows ne?
Eiichirou: I do.
Sho: Ah, then tell us.
Eiichirou: It's probably getting up early ne. (writing)
Sho: Correct~!
Nino: You'd think we'd get that.
Sho: So, for Funakoshi-san, who got it magnificently correct, your present is a Matsui-pole.
Ogura: What does that mean, 'getting up early'? (writing)
Eiichirou: She gets up incredibly early, like around 4:30 or 5am. (writing)
Aiba: Eh, what does she do in the morning?
Eiichirou: She's at that level of tension from the moment she wakes up. (writing) Suddenly full throttle.
Jun: Is that so.
Ohno: Like suddenly 'good morning!!'? (writing)
Eiichirou: Kind of like, bam, 'work!'. (writing)
Aiba: You don't like that? (writing)
Eiichirou: That's rough, and also ne it starts making you feel guilty. (writing) I mean, I do my work, I come home, and since the times
we go to bed are different to begin with I'll think 'tomorrow I'll get a nice long sleep'. I'll even tell her, 'tomorrow
I'm going to sleep in' when we're going to bed. Though I'll think 'I'm going to get a nice long sleep' when she goes to do
housework of course I start to feel like I'm an awful person for sleeping... (writing) So I usually get up with her ne.
Sho: So since you've gone to all this trouble why not use this time to tell Matsui-san that you want her to stop getting up early.
Eiichirou: Well, even if I said 'please stop' ne, she wouldn't stop ne.
[writing: faint-hearted?]
Sho: Well then, let's move along to the next question~. Ogura-san, if you please.
Ogura: Yes. Second question: There's something that Funakoshi-san really loves at home that he can't get Matsui-san to allow him. So, what
what would that thing be?
Aiba: Yes!
Sho: Yes?
Aiba: Kiss. (writing)
Ogura: Kiss?
Sho: How about it Funakoshi-san, do you like kisses?
Aiba: He likes kisses.
Nino: After that-
Eiichirou: I don't dislike them ne. (writing)
Aiba: Don't dislike them;P
Sho: That's incorrect ne.
Aiba: Ah, so it's not that kind of thing. Ne, what could it be?
[Announcer: After this, shocked at XX being forbidden?! Funakoshi-san is troubled by the fact that Matsui-san doesn't allow him to
do something he really loves. So, what could it be?]
Ogura: It's a hobby, a hobby! (writing)
Aiba: A hobby?
Sho: A hobby.
Aiba: Okay, golf. (writing)
Sho: Wrong ne~.
Eiichirou: Close. (writing)
Aiba: Close?
Jun: Close?
Eiichirou: Close. (writing) Well, it's that kind of thing ne.
Sho: Ohno-kun.
Ohno: That thing that goes here that's been popular recently.
Ogura: Wrong;P
Aiba: The vibrating belt sort of thing.
Nino: Ah, mail order ne?
Aiba: That's right, that's right.
Sho: Well, will Funakoshi-san finally answer? (writing)
Eiichirou: Yes. I know this one. This would be watching DVDs ne. (writing)
Sho: Correct ne~!
Aiba: What is that, not being able to watch DVDs?
Eiichirou: Sorry, thank you.
Sho: here's your Matsui-pole~.
Eiichirou: Matsui-san's rule is that hobbies are forbidden in our house ne. (writing)
Ogura: Why?
Eiichirou: Well, I'm busy, and she's busy too ne. We've decided that we'll only do things that we can do together ne. (writing) So,
if for example I had golf as a hobby, um, if I had a day off I'd go out right? Normally if you had a day off you'd go out right?
So then your days spent together would completely disappear ne. So, I at least watch some DVDs at home ne. Or so I say, but
I made a theatre room. In 6 years I haven't even watchd 10 DVDs. (writing)
Sho: Ah~, what a waste.
Aiba: But I mean, shouldn't Matsui-san just watch them with you? (writing)
Eiichirou: Unfortunately she doesn't really like movies ne. (writing)
Ogura: What doesn't she like about them?
Eiichirou: It appears that she thinks just staring at something is a waste. (writing)
[Announcer: Following that Funakoshi-san got the third question right as well, and another Matsui-pole. Well, that's a given.]
Sho: So then, let's move along to the next question. Ogu-san, if you please.
Ogura: Funakoshi-san loves this certain element of Matsui-san. So, what element of Matsui-san would it be that he likes?
Aiba: Yes yes yes.
Sho: Aiba-kun.
Aiba: Um, her solicitude. (writing) She's extremely solicitous ne. You like that as well but that's not it?
Eiichirou: I think that definitely must not be the right answer. (writing)
Sho: It's not the right answer ne.
Jun: it's not the right answer?? Yes.
Sho: Yes, Matsumoto-kun.
Jun: The fact that her writing is so nice. (writing)
Ogura: Her writing's nice huh.
Aiba: Her writing's nice.
Sho: That's incorrect.
Eiichirou: It might not be something concrete ne. (writing)
Aiba: It's something concrete huh...
Nino: That guy's a contestant too ne?! (writing)
Aiba: yes yes yes.
Sho: Aiba-kun.
Aiba: He likes her face, her looks! (writing)
[writing: That's broad]
Sho: I think that's a given.
Aiba: That's too all-encompassing right. Okay! Her teeth line up well! (writing)
Eiichirou: That's incredibly concrete!
Aiba: That's the opposite?
Eiichirou: It's the opposite.
Aiba: it's the opposite, the opposite.
Ogura: it's no good huh?
Sho: it's no good is it? Then~, since you have it all Funakoshi-san... (writing)
Eiichirou: I was hoping it wouldn't have to be the one to say it.
[writing: If you please]
[Announcer: After this, Funakoshi-san sends a message of love to his wife. What element of Matsui-san does Funakoshi-san like? Funakoshi-san,
the correct answer if you please.]
Eiichirou: Eh~, well, um, the way she's like a young girl I suppose.
Sho: Correct! As you would expect! As you would expect of Funakoshi-san. What kind of element is that, the way she's like a young
girl?
Eiichirou: Um~, well there's the way you can't tell what she's going to do, she's simplistic ne. (writing) Just when she's gotten
her hands on something she finds for her next target and sets out for it, just keeps pushing onwards like that. I guess
that I'm both nervous and excited, wondering 'what'll she does next?' what is she doing?'.
Sho: So would you be able to send a message to Matsui-san?
Eiichirou: Well, I tried to put a lot of things into the quiz that would make you happy, but none of them can make you happy ne?
[writing: Ultimately faint-hearted]
[Announcer: This week's honor student is Gunma-ken's Yuuki-Bunny, who submitted the oden curry. We're calling for submissions on
'what did you do last night?' for Kikuchi Momoko. Please expand on her image!]
Aiba: bang!
Sho: Ogu-san's been shot! Ogu-san, Ogu-san!
Ah...Sho's death scene nearly killed me;P He looked like he was made of cardboardXD And Aiba's one line voer and over again...but he looked really good holding a gun like thatX3 The funniest part though, is how much control crazy Kazuyo's got over her hubbie...not only a 300$ a month allowance, he can't watch movies in his own home or play golfO_o Um. Deal-breaker? No reallyXD I suppose at that age you're more willing to compromise? Or at least he isXD But I really do want to try oden curry...
Plus, a translation of the latest Hanako article on Jun^^
Credit for the scans goes to the lovely yuckie_chan!:)
Secret Arashi-chan's Arashi-san: This week's Arashi-san - Matsumoto Jun
Having profited from the 'thickness' of the first half of this year, it all becomes the motivational energy of the latter half.
With starring-role movies being released one after another and Arashi's Dome Tour among others, the first half of this year for Arashi
and Matsumoto-san was such that even the fans were incredibly busy. It appears that it was the same for he himself. "I was doing
promotions while filming the movies, I sometimes had the sense of 'which one am I doing now?' ne. Because of 'Himitsu No Arashi-chan'
and the tour it was a busy first half of the year even with Arashi'.
Amid that his senses towards his work have gotten even further honed.
"Just putting this out, furthermore after putting it out, the time it gives me input will absolutely decline. When that happens...though
I think it's not like there would be none, but there are moments when it feels like nothing's being drawn out of me.
But, in part because of that, that's how my theme recently is what kind of thing I'm making with those around me, the pursuit of what
can be done at that place...conversely, I think that pursuing something is the right way to do it."
In saying that you're using your full senses every day, doesn't it seem like you frequently feel tense?
"No, I have a fair amount of time where I just space out?"
Well then, at what moment do you return to yourself?
"Each and every one of them is me (laugh). But, I guess it would be when I get home...taking off my shoes and putting away my things,
turning on the tv or the computer, making phone calls. The other day when I called a bunch of my friends the exhibitions at the clothing
stores I wanted to go to were all over. There's nothing I can do, so I plan to go buy from the store (laugh)."
The busyness of the latter half has already begun.
We look forward to the continuation of Matsumoto-san seeming to show us yet another new side of himself!
'Secret Arashi-chan!' TBS, nationwide, every Thursday 10~10:54pm.
The 'Akasaka Arashi-chan Clinic' which rigidly checks out the true form of female celebrities, 'Childminder Arashi' where they
diligently look after children, as well as various other things, specialty series are being born one after another. Speaking of variety
shows where you can enjoy Arashi getting worked up for a full hour, this is it!
The celebrity world's biggest Matsumoto maniac, a date with Morisanchuu's Ooshima.
(pic1) Her request from the images in 'Kakushi Toride no San Akunin' was horseback riding. This is where to act like a prince.
(pic2) Matsumoto-san also says the handmade lunch that Ooshima-san got up at 5am to make is delicious, and his tension is unexpectedly
rising?
Aired on June 26th was the "Hana Yori MatsuJun: Love-love Attack Date Plan" with Morisanchuu's Ooshima-san. In complete contrast to
the high spirits of Aiba-san and Ninomiya-san who watched over them on location, Matsumoto-san's expression was dark. He unconsciously
grimaced when Inoue Mao-san made an appearance in the role of Makino Tsukushi. But despite that he followed the script (by Ooshima)
and gave the occasional explosive Doumyouji fan-service, like when critisizing Ooshima-san's looks by saying "She ain't no Cameron
Diaz!".
Following that Ooshima-san's recklessness went so far as requesting to feed him a bite of her handmade lunch. On top of which, she
acted like a crazed fan by video-taping the whole thing. And after eating they progressed from horseback riding to bowling, where
Inoue-san re-appeared. The women's battle with a 'kiss on the cheek' riding on it...safely passed the first stage with the narrowly
vitorious Ooshima-san compromising (?) with a kiss on the hand.
The end was enacting a drama treatment of 'wanting to die in Jun's arms'. He acted so stricken as to be unable to hold the fallen
Ooshima-san in his arms. With Matsumoto-san bewildered from beginning to end and the on-set pair laughing uproariously from beginning
to end, it was a contrastive and memorable stray project!
A secret problem consultation with Hanako-san.
You've rushed into the latter half of this year as well. Soon it will be the period where women want to really head into battle. From
Matsumoto-san's perspective, please give us a lecture on 'this is the popular woman of fall-winter'!
You've got to raise the guy's tension by appealing to him with your differences!
"Eh? This is hard huh...what would it be...I prefer a relaxed attitude ne. Being exaggerated is a little much. Ah, a relaxed attitude
plus 'differences' I guess? For example, even though you're normally natural, at some point getting really into it, or doing something
from your nature that's unexpected. But you don't have to 'pile' up your hair (laughs). Things like wearing black even though you
normally don't, when gathering together in a group things that catch your attention like that are what get my tension up (laughs)."
A discussion for the enxt Arashi-san from Matsumoto-san.
Please tell me some ways to relax every day. Conversely, what do you when you get worked up?
I like that even he has moments where he can't figure out whether he's coming or going (*remembers a point in february where she thought last year was 2005>_<*). But I wish him luck in the rest of the year too, may it be as full and fulfilling as the first half^^ And good grief, give the boy some vacation timeXD Plus, his advice is common sense, but works rather well. Don't change yourself, just explore your uniqueness^^ It's what makes us different that makes us interesting after all:)
And, yuckie_chan showed me this pic and I had to post itXD Too cute!<3 The article just talks about how much Jun lvoed picking up this little girl and was like an adoring parent on set. Really looking forward to seeing this drama...
At any rate, I need to get back to planning my trip and answering emails before work starts again tomorrow...yes, today is a day off, in fact this is the 'August long weekend' in Canada. Um, I've lived here almost my whole life and I have absolutely no idea why today is a holiday...but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth!XD besides, it wasn't really a long weekend for me cause I had to work friday and yesterday... If anyone's looking for a funny summer drama、 Seigi no Mikata (Yamada Yuu/Shida Mirai) and Yasuko to Kenji (Tabe Mikako) are really fun=) Have a great week everyone, dreams are just realities we haven't created yet^^
私にとって夏はこれからです！今年も日本の暑さで倒れそうになるかもしれないけど、絶対に楽しく過ごせるよ：）一人でも平気。。。と何度でも繰り返している。。。信じているまで。
I'm really excitedXD I still haven't finished all the planning, but I have confidence I can manage it as long as I put my nose to the grindstone... I went to the physiotherapist and I'm back in fine fighting form (I get to try acupuncture on Wednesday, sounds like fun!). People at my work are starting to put in requests for souvenirs (yeah, if you'll pay the luggage surcharge, sure;P). And I have to plan my next grocery purchases carefully so I don't have a whole bunch of rotten food when I get backXD Agh, plus I've started getting cravings for so many foods, it's not even funny...all yesterday I was dying for yakisoba (so I made yakiudon today...a little too salty though, I wonder if putting cold mango in it will help...), just thinking about taiyaki and okonomiyaki and takoyaki and melon-pan and dorayake and kitsune-udon and kakikouri makes my mouth water like you would not believe (and that list is interminableO_o). Just as long as I spend at least 4 hours a day walking I should have room...XD
And this week's Maou was alternately exquisitely suspenseful and heart-wrenchingly bittersweet<3 It's so long to wait til friday...>_<
Ah well, moving along, I have thought of a proposal in terms of translating. I thought I'd finish off both GRA and Shukudai-kun's remaining 2007 stuff, but after that I'm opening the field up to requests. So everyone, tell me what *you* want to see (to avoid things like the figure-skating SP which, for good reason, was just not a big hit^^;;), and I'll try to go from there. Anything up to last week in any show is up for grabs, first come first serve;) This goes for when I get back as well, because with both school and work there's no way I can catch up if I go in a linear fashion, so I'll do what I can^^ Please let me know what you think of this idea.
Today I have the translation of the Shukudai-kun from 07.12.03 with crazy Katsuyo's hubbie and Aiba and Sho's gunshot scene;P
Ogura: Arashi's Homework begins~!
Sho: So, a large box has been delivered this week as well. Please take a look at this here: the emperor of suspense.
Ogura: Today ne, it seemed like your way of treating him was more courteous than usual.
Jun: We were kind of nervous when we brought in the box.
Ohno: It's been a while since we felt that nervousness.
Sho: And also, his wife is an entertainer.
Ogura: I know who it is.
Sho: Jinnai-san, a second time. (writing)
Ogura: That can't be right~. I mean, he's not an emperor right.
Aiba: That's right.
Ogura: An emperor is...
Aiba: -t-t-t-t-t-this way.
[writing: Rapid fire?]
Sho: T-t-t-t-there it~ is~! (writing)
Aiba: There what is? What is it?
Sho: I have other information: cliffs suit him. (writing)
Aiba/Sho: T-t-t-t-there it~ is~!
Nino: Okay, Ogu-san, if you please.
Oguta: let's open it.
Sho: This is today's guest, come on out~.
[writing: Funakoshi Eiichirou]
[Announcer: Tonight Funakoshi-san proposes questions for a quiz on his wife. A quiz all about Matsui Kazuyo-san. Furthermore,
the emperor of suspense does a true to life performance. Is he trying to make us laugh? It's just about to begin~!]
Sho: Once again, today's gurest is Funakoshi Eiichirou-san, your favor please~!
Eiichirou: Your favor please.
Sho: Your favor please.
Eiichirou: There's one more here ne. She's was feeling kind of sad because she wasn't called.
Sho: I apologize. What's her name?
Eiichirou: There's a movie called [The Story of Mari and the Puppies] which is being released December 8th ne. This is Ichi-chan, who
played the lead character Mari. There was that earthquake that was centered in Niigata ne, that earthquake ne. There was
a village named Yamakoshi Village that was abandonned, and in that village there was a dog named Mari ne. That dog gave
birth to three puppies during the earthquake. Because everyone was evacuated there wasn't a single person left ne. It's
a movie with the dog as the lead character, protecting her newly born pups and mriaculously leading them back to civilization.
Sho: So we heard that there were some really hard scenes that you had to do together. (writing)
Eiichirou: There are scenes where she and I are sleeping together, in the actual movie they only appear for about 10~15 seconds. But
it turns out that for that 15 seconds it takes a whole day ne. 100 people (staff) are being really quiet, and just when you
think she's fallen asleep there's somebody who makes a noise. (writing)
Sho: Ah~, there is, there is, the KY guy ne. (writing)
Eiichirou: That's totally how it is.
[writing: KY?]
Aiba: Ah, I can relate ne.
Eiichirou: Definitely, right?
Sho: Ogu-san, let's move along to the first homework.
Ogura: Homework from the guest for the audience: investigate and submit unusual home-cooked curry. You like curry?
Eiichirou: I love curry.
Ogura: Like a child ne.
Eiichirou: Yes.
[Announcer: Which is to say that when we asked for people's home-cooked curry we received a lot of submissions. Ah~, it's all very
unusual curry ne.]
Jun: To begin with I'll go to the first one. This is their home-cooked unusual curry.
Sho: What is that?
Eiichirou: What is that??
Ogura: This is oden!
Jun: This is oden curry. (writing)
Aiba: Doesn't this kind of feel like something I would come up with? Is this okay?
Sho: Well, what's most important is this flavor-
Jun: Well, it appears that Yuuki-Bunny, the one who submitted it, actually eats it.
[Announcer: The oden left over from yesterday is revitalized as curry. The way to make it is just to boil the oden into the curry roux.
A unique item that is gaining notice from magazines.]
Eiichirou: So in short, they put curry powder in the oden pot. (writing)
Jun: They put in curry powder.
Eiichirou: Here I go.
Ohno: I can imagine.
Ogura: Be honest.
Eiichirou: Delicious.
Sho: Delicious?
[writing: Apparently delicious]
Ogura: Delicious?
Eiichirou: Delicious. It's definitely a go. You could sell this. (writing)
Sho: Is that so?
Ogura: You could sell it?? (writing)
Aiba: As oden curry?
Eiichirou: Yeah. The curry at soba restaurants is delicious isn't it? (writing)
Aiba: that's right ne, yes yes.
Eiichirou: It's like they've added rice and oden to that southern-style curry ne.
Jun: Uwa~, I see.
Ogura: You could sell it?
[writing: Restaurant owner]
Ogura: You're saying you could sell it-
Eiichirou: It would sell well.
Ogura: Well, if you could sell it...
Nino: Your eyes changed Ogura-san.
Ogura: You could sell this...
Eiichirou: You really could sell this.
Ogura: Hang on...this is delicious.
Eiichirou: Delicious isn't it?
Ogura: it's delicious! Oden curry works.
Eiichirou: It does.
Aiba: It's a crime for it to be this delicious ne. (writing)
Eiichirou: Then you should arrest them;)
Jun: There appears to be a key to this" if you put in things like pouches or deep-fried tofu that really suck up the broth it'll make
it very watery, so it's better to avoid them.
Sho: Delicious~. (writing)
Eiichirou: It's delicious ne.
Ogura: Ah, Leader's going for an egg.
Aiba: Leader's done it.
Eiichirou: The egg will definitely will delicious.
Ogura: The egg will definitely be delicious.
Jun: Please eat it.
Ohno: Ah, delicious~! (writing)
Jun: ogura-san, he's taking quite a bit ne.
Eiichirou: The egg is awesome! I wonder how the daikon is. (writing)
Jun: You're still going??
Nino: One more, for now he'll try one more time.
Eiichirou: This is refreshing.
Ogura: Ne.
Eiichirou: It's an unspeakable treat! (writing)
Nino: That's an amazing way to put it.
Jun: Next is a submission from Tottori-ken's Makudani-san. This is it.
Ogura: What? That's salted fish isn't it. (writing)
Jun: They say this is salted fish curry.
Eiichirou: This is already in it?
Jun: No, it's not. This is ordinary curry ne. In this situation you put in half a container of salted fish-
Ogura: Are you okay with salted fish?
Eiichirou: Totally okay, but isn't that a lot?? Isn't that salty?
Aiba: Funakoshi-san, let's go, go ahead, go ahead, let's go.
[writing: The guest can go ahead and start]
Sho: Go ahead.
Jun: If you please.
Eiichirou: You mix this in ne. (writing)
Jun: Yes.
Aiba: What'll happen ne...
Sho: There's no concept of this ne, no concept.
Eiichirou: Okay, thanks for the food~.
[writing: How is it?]
Sho: Oh! Could it be...
Aiba: Amazing. His face has gotten serious.
Jun: How is it?
Aiba: What does that mean?
Nino: Did you find it?
Jun: This is...
Eiichirou: Delicious. (writing)
Aiba: Delicious?? You're kidding!
Sho: No way.
Eiichirou: I did put on an act... (writing) But more than just delicious, this works.
Nino: It's totally a go?
Eiichirou: Go. (writing)
Nino: That was a grim 'go' huh. (writing)
Jun: It seems that the saltiness of the salted fish eases the spicyness of the curry.
Eiichirou: Ah, you can say that again ne.
Ogura: This is delicious. I like salted fish by itself, I like curry by itself, why did they have to put them together? (writing)
Aiba: Ogura-san, the more you say it the more of a go it is.
Eiichirou: Ne, it's a go for me too. (the flavor is) fairly sharp ne. (writing)
Aiba: That's right, that's right. Sharp?
Jun: Is that so?
Ogura: It's extremely sharp.
Aiba: You could say it's got spirit to it-
Eiichirou: It's a flavor with guts ne.
[writing: A flavor with guts?]
Sho: This is maximum delicious. (writing)
Eiichirou: Delicious?
Jun: There's the 'maximum'.
Ogura: Don't you sense a raw smell? (writing)
Sho: I do, but that also kind of disappears into the curry you could say...
Jun: This's delish. (writing)
Aiba: ne.
Eiichirou: It could be that young people would be better able to accept it without resistance. (writing)
Ogura: What's that supposed to mean? (writing)
Eiichirou: You're the one who's saying it the most.
Ogura: For me the curry and salted fish are competing in my mouth ne. (writing)
EiichiroU: With this ne, salted fish and curry are too strong as fixed concepts. (writing)
Aiba: I see ne.
Eiichirou: You get kind of fixed in your way of thinking.
[writing: Stubborn old man?]
Nino: Next. Let's go to the next one.
Jun: This is a submission from Tokyo's Batabata-mama-san.
Ogura: Senbei in curry? (writing)
Jun: Yes. This is senbei curry.
Ogura: So you put it on the senbei and eat it?
Jun: No, it's different ne.
[Announcer: You just break as many pieces as you want of senbei into plain curry and boil them to your preferred firmness.]
Jun: Apparently the senbei become an undescribable texture, kind of like potato stew or beef.
Sho: I'm looking forward to this.
Jun: And we made some earlier, this is it.
Ogura: Where's the senbei?
Jun: Right here ne.
[writing: Senbei]
Ogura: Ah, that's senbei?
Jun: Yes.
Sho: Ah but ne, what kind of sensation will it have ne? (writing)
Jun: How is it, how's the smell?
Aiba: The smell;P
Ogura: You're not the police. (writing)
Eiichirou: The smell seems pretty promising. (writing)
Jun: Ah, really?
Eiichirou: I think I'll try it~.
Sho: Go detective! (writing)
Aiba: If you please!
[writing: Crunch crunch]
Ogura: It's going crunch crunch! Doesn't that mean it wasn't cooked enough? (writing)
Eiichirou: This is also pretty good is. (writing)
Sho: You're kidding.
Eiichirou: Er, not 'is'. It's pretty good.
Aiba: You kind of seemed like a comedian there. Does it resemble meat? (writing)
Eiichirou: Since it's still crispy it's more like eating something fried than meat. (writing)
Aiba: Ah, I see ne~.
Sho: Mr. Fixed Concept Ogu-san. (writing) Please try eating it.
Ogura: Ah, if you boiled this a fair bit...
Sho: Delicious?
Ogura: It's kind of a 'what is this?' feeling. (writing)
Jun: A new taste sensation?
Ogura: Yeah.
Sho: It's squishy.
Jun: It's kind of like deep-fried fish paste ne. (writing)
Ogura: That's right, that's right, that kind of sensation.
Sho: Delicious~. (writing)
Nino: It's delicious?
Sho: Yeah.
Ogura: he said it's delicious just now?
Sho: Delicious~, what is this? Ah, the texture was a little rough, but the flavor is exquisitely delicious. (writing)
Ohno: Wha-...ham, what is it? (writing)
Ogura: it's ham huh.
Sho: Deep-fried breaded ham? (writing)
Ohno: It's deep-fried breaded ham.
Ogura: Deep-fried breaded ham.
Sho: It's like deep-fried breaded ham.
Eiichirou: Ah~, I see ne.
Sho: Dewish. (writing) So Ogura-san, let's move along to the next homework.
Ogura: Yes. Image homework on Funakoshi Eiichirou-san: 'what did you do last night?'
Sho: First Ohno-kun.
Ohno: Yes. A submission from Suspender-san in Tokyo: last night Funakoshi-san wrote the proposal for the next suspense drama. (writing)
Sho: It's Funakoshi-san thinking them up?
Eiichirou: I don't right proposals. (writing)
Nino: But you might be able to do it.
Aiba: I see ne.
Nino: Instead of the 'Nishimura Kyotarou series' ne, it would be the 'Funakoshi Eiichirou series'. (writing)
Eiichirou: Well, I do talk with everyone and bring out ideas about what to do next ne. (writing) If I wrote them it would probably
be as a joke ne.
Nino: There's a lot with 'murder' type names after all ne.
Eiichirou: Ah, there are, there are.
[writing: XX Murder Case]
Eiichirou: Everyone really works hard to think up the titles ne.
Nino: That's right ne.
Eiichirou: I've wanted to try doing some unusual ones that would be a little fun for the audience ne, (writing)
[Announcer: Which means that, we'll introduce some suspense drama with slightly unusual names that actually aired]
Sho: First is this: Ramen Detective [Dragon]'s Murder Deduction.
[writing: Exactly what kind of drama is that?]
Sho: What is this all about? A ramen-loving-
Eiichirou: Sorry. This did appear! (writing)
Nino: Seriously??
Eiichirou: This is a Kanda Masaki-san series. (writing)
Ogura: Ah, is that so.
Eiichirou: Kanda Masaki-san is a ramen-loving detective ne. (writing) So he's a ramen-cop.
Ogura: He's a ramen-loving detective so he's a ramen-cop.
Eiichirou: he's a ramen-cop ne.
Aiba: He doesn't have any attacks using ramen does he? (writing) Something main?
Eiichirou: He doesn't use it as a weapon ne.
Nino: Arresting someone with bamboo shoots right. (writing)
Aiba: Totally.
Sho: So, let's move along to the next one.
Jun: This is amazing huh~.
Sho: Dance! Kingpin Investigator.
[writing: Exactly what kind of drama is that?]
Aiba: That 'dance' means...
Nino: There's a lot of aspects in that one ne.
Sho: That's right, that's right.
Ogura: Isn't it a kingpin-like investigator? (writing)
Nino: It's like a crime kingpin who also has a side that's a private investigator right?
Eiichirou: I know this one too! (writing)
Sho: As you would expect!
Nino: Let's do a quiz, let's do a quiz.
Eiichirou: Um, there was a movie called 'the dancing maharajah of India' ne. (writing)
Sho: That's right.
Eiichirou: The title is a rip-off of that ne. (writing) And, actually, the dancing is samba. (writing)
Nino: Ah, then, if it comes down to it, wouldn't it be 'dancing kingpin detective'? (writing)
Eiichirou: If you went that far it wouldn't make sense. The kingpin dances samba.
Sho: Which means that he's what kind of kingpin?
Jun: MatsuKen-san? (writing)
Eiichirou: Bingo!
Nino: Ah, is that so?
Eiichirou: Not MatsuJun-san, MatsuKen-san.
Jun: MatsuKen-san huh.
Eiichirou: Matsudaira ken-san is the kingpin of a gang in Shitamachi. And that kignpin resolves various cases ne. And after the case
has been solved, for some reason he dances (samba). (writing)
Sho: it's amazing that they went so far as to finish it off with MatsuKen-san ne.
Eiichirou: That's right.
Nino: It ends with 'ole' doesn't it. (writing)
Sho: Up to this point have there been any roles that were a lot of trouble? They say that acting out a death is a lot of trouble. (writing)
Eiichirou: Ah~, well ne, there was a point where I got shot by a machine gun and died.
Jun: A machine gun?
Eiichirou: All the staff were like 'being shot is your forte, so we'll leave it to you ne.' (writing) I was like 'okay, got it, got it'.
Then when I was on set in front of the camera wondering how it would turn out I was like 'crap. I've never done this'.
(writing). I've never done this. I've done being shot in the leg ne, or, of course, being shot here. But that was my first
time being shot in the heart and collapsing into death instantly ne. That was a good experience ne.
Sho: Was there a person who's done that kind of death performance? (writing)
Jun: I've never died huh~. (writing)
Nino: I die a lot ne. (writing)
Sho: What kind of deaths do you do, right now?
Nino: Illness or suicide, there was also being hit by a truck ne. But a while ago, when I was doing the war movie, in that scene where
everyone commits suicide with grenades, when you watch the film blood bursts out of their necks like this and they fall down
and die. But actually there's nothing there (blood). (writing) So everyone was going 'clang' and then like this, 'uwa!', just
like that. So everyone was going 'uwa' 'uwa' 'uwa', while I was laughing like this the whole time. (writing)
Eiichirou: There's a lot of scenes where you get shot with a pistol in detective dramas. Those ne, in rehearsal you have to vocalise
it ne. (writing) Like you're pretending to be kids, perfectly good adults are all like 'pow! pow! pow!'.
Aiba: That's a good vocaliztion, as you would expect of course.
Nino: Because that's the role ne.
Eiichirou: Locations inside the city are incredibly embarrassing ne. (writing) With everyone around you, going 'wait you bastard! Pow!'
(writing) It's amazing, everyone laughs as if on cue ne.
Sho: Hey, why don't wre try it? (writing)
Nino: Then, Sho-san and...
Aiba: Yeah, you should do it right?
Sho: Then you do it with me. (writing)
[writing: With Sakurai and Aiba]
Aiba: This is completely falling into my pattern of getting mixed up in things.
Nino: Then Sho-san and Aiba-san.
Aiba: Then, I'll shoot you, so please get shot. (writing)
Nino: A 'being shot' performance. (writing)
Aiba: That's right.
Nino: Let's see it.
Aiba: That's right. For Funakoshi-san.
Jun: This is an audition using radiowaves. (writing)
[writing: This is the national net]
Jun: Lots of different people are watching.
Nino: Now you'll get an appearance on 'Dangerous Cops'. (writing) As something like the 'third person'.
Aiba: So then I should shoot him right in the heart ne. Here I go.
Nino: make sure to say something like 'die~'. (writing)
Sho: Ah, okay, okay. Chase after me. (writing)
Nino: Isn't that backwards? Why is the cop running away?? (writing) The cop chases you into a dead-end and that's where you take out
the gun, right.
Sho: Ah, I'm the cop? (writing)
Aiba: I'm the cop right? (writing)
Sho: I'm the cop! (writing)
Aiba: Why, I'm doing it!
Nino: Why, what kind of police officer would say 'die!' and shoot. (writing)
Ogura: The cops don't shoot unarmed people.
Aiba: I see, so I'm shooting the cop.
Eiichirou: So the criminal ne, will be like 'stay away!'. And then you'll be like 'be reasonable and hand over the gun'.
Nino: That's right ne.
Eiichirou: Right? Like 'you won't do that kind of thing'. You try lots of ways to convince him and just when you think he'll give
in he does the opposite and shoots you.
Aiba: Ah, so from here it's 'stay away' ne? After you chase me into a corner I say 'stay away' and shoot you ne?
Sho: So I've chased you into a corner, I've chased you into a corner and here I am.
Aiba: Stay away! (writing)
Nino: Why are you laughing?? Cut!
[writing: Please do it seriously]
Jun: Okay, we'll go one more time~.
Aiba: Let's do it seriously.
Nino: This kind of thing, you know-
Aiba: That's right, Funakoshi-san's watching, what the heck is this?
nino: He'll get the role. (writing)
Aiba: That's right. It's a good chance isn't it.
Jun: Funakoshi's watching, so do it seriously ne.
Aiba: Do it seriously.
Jun: take two. Ready, start!
Aiba: Stay away!
Sho: Give me the gun.
Aiba: Stay away!
Ogura: It's no good...;P
Sho: Give me the gun.
Aiba: Stay away!!!
Sho: Ah...
[writing: Horrible!]
Jun: Cut!
Nino: That was awful.
Sho: It's perfect. (writing)
Aiba: I'm sorry, this is how our Sakurai is.
Sho: It's perfect! To all the other stations' producers, please favor me ne. (writing)
Nino: The emperor's one is something we can't see ne?
[writing: Emperor, if you please]
Sho: The emperor~, I want to see it!
Nino: Is that something we can see?
Eiichirou: Shall I do it?
[writing: If you please]
Sho: I want to see it ne~!
Nino: Ah, I really want to see it!
Jun: Amazing!
Eiichirou: This is embarrassing ne. (writing)
Nino: So, can we ask you to play the villain?
Aiba: You're okay with me?
Sho: This'll be amazing.
Eiichirou: Oh~, this is embarrassing ne! Alright, okay.
Jun: You're okay?
Eiichirou: Yes.
Jun: We're shooting the real thing. Ready, start!
Aiba: Stay away!
Eiichirou: Stop it. What are you going to do if you kill me? Be reasonable. Come on, just hand over the gun.
Aiba: Stay away!
Eiichirou: Stop it. You won't shoot.
Aiba: bang!
Eiichirou: You- shot me...
[writing: Shot me?]
Eiichirou: This can't be...
Jun: Cut!XD
[writing: Thank you]
Nino: Amazing.
Aiba: That's just as you would expect huh.
Jun: That's new ne. (writing)
Nino: 'You won't shoot me. You shot me!' (writing)
Sho: Surprising huh~.
Ogura: But that's how it ends up sometimes huh.
Nino: It does huh.
Ogura: You definitely think they won't shoot ne.
[Announcer: Now a sudden project!]
Ogura: Quiz Matsui Kazuyo! (writing)
[Announcer: Funakoshi Eiichirou-san has turned the things about his wife that he wishes to change but normally can't say into a quiz.
For some reason Funakoshi-san is also in the answering seats.]
Sho: Those who know the answer, please raise your hands. There's also a present for the winner, so all of you please do your best~.
Aiba: Oh, what is it?
Sho: Right now my lips are still sealed. (writing)
Aiba: Ah~, I see~, understood~.
Nino: That's frustrating~. I want to win!
Sho: So you might think it's strange that Funakoshi-san is sitting beside you.
Nino: That's right ne.
Sho: Funakoshi-san will give the final answer after everyone else has given their answer. So, well then let's move along, Ogura-san, if you
please!
Ogura: What do you think Funakoshi-san wants Matsui Kazuyo-san to stop doing? What could that be? Something he wants Matsui-san to
stop doing.
All: Yes!
Sho: Aiba-kun, go ahead.
Aiba: Farting in front of people. (writing)
Nino: She doesn't, she doesn't.
Eiichirou: Is that so?
Aiba: No no, I have no diea, I have no idea.
Eiichirou: Ah, but I don't really dislike it that much. (writing)
Aiba: Ah, then that's okay?
Nino: Yes yes.
Sho: Yes, then, Ninomiya-kun.
Nino: The limit on his allowance. (writing)
Eiichirou: Ah~, you know a lot ne. But I don't mind that much either. (writing)
Nino: It's wrong...
Sho: Matsumoto-kun.
Jun: Sometimes he wants to eat instant foods. (writing)
Eiichirou: You really all do know us well ne. I eat those in secret so it's okay. (writing)
Aiba: Ah, you do it secretly.
Nino: This is a new style ne. Having a person who knows on the panel. Like 'that's wrong isn't it?' (writing)
Sho: Ohno-kun.
Ohno: Occasionally grinding her teeth. (writing)
Eiichirou: Are you guys watching our house? (writing)
Jun: Is there a hint or something?
Sho: it's because they're living together... (writing)
Nino: Because they're living together?
Sho: That's right, that's right.
Nino: Yes! Their timing on going to the bathroom is for the most part the same. (writing) So every time it's like 'ah, again?'
Sho: That's wrong ne.
Aiba: What is it?
Ogura: Then, Funakoshi-san knows ne?
Eiichirou: I do.
Sho: Ah, then tell us.
Eiichirou: It's probably getting up early ne. (writing)
Sho: Correct~!
Nino: You'd think we'd get that.
Sho: So, for Funakoshi-san, who got it magnificently correct, your present is a Matsui-pole.
Ogura: What does that mean, 'getting up early'? (writing)
Eiichirou: She gets up incredibly early, like around 4:30 or 5am. (writing)
Aiba: Eh, what does she do in the morning?
Eiichirou: She's at that level of tension from the moment she wakes up. (writing) Suddenly full throttle.
Jun: Is that so.
Ohno: Like suddenly 'good morning!!'? (writing)
Eiichirou: Kind of like, bam, 'work!'. (writing)
Aiba: You don't like that? (writing)
Eiichirou: That's rough, and also ne it starts making you feel guilty. (writing) I mean, I do my work, I come home, and since the times
we go to bed are different to begin with I'll think 'tomorrow I'll get a nice long sleep'. I'll even tell her, 'tomorrow
I'm going to sleep in' when we're going to bed. Though I'll think 'I'm going to get a nice long sleep' when she goes to do
housework of course I start to feel like I'm an awful person for sleeping... (writing) So I usually get up with her ne.
Sho: So since you've gone to all this trouble why not use this time to tell Matsui-san that you want her to stop getting up early.
Eiichirou: Well, even if I said 'please stop' ne, she wouldn't stop ne.
[writing: faint-hearted?]
Sho: Well then, let's move along to the next question~. Ogura-san, if you please.
Ogura: Yes. Second question: There's something that Funakoshi-san really loves at home that he can't get Matsui-san to allow him. So, what
what would that thing be?
Aiba: Yes!
Sho: Yes?
Aiba: Kiss. (writing)
Ogura: Kiss?
Sho: How about it Funakoshi-san, do you like kisses?
Aiba: He likes kisses.
Nino: After that-
Eiichirou: I don't dislike them ne. (writing)
Aiba: Don't dislike them;P
Sho: That's incorrect ne.
Aiba: Ah, so it's not that kind of thing. Ne, what could it be?
[Announcer: After this, shocked at XX being forbidden?! Funakoshi-san is troubled by the fact that Matsui-san doesn't allow him to
do something he really loves. So, what could it be?]
Ogura: It's a hobby, a hobby! (writing)
Aiba: A hobby?
Sho: A hobby.
Aiba: Okay, golf. (writing)
Sho: Wrong ne~.
Eiichirou: Close. (writing)
Aiba: Close?
Jun: Close?
Eiichirou: Close. (writing) Well, it's that kind of thing ne.
Sho: Ohno-kun.
Ohno: That thing that goes here that's been popular recently.
Ogura: Wrong;P
Aiba: The vibrating belt sort of thing.
Nino: Ah, mail order ne?
Aiba: That's right, that's right.
Sho: Well, will Funakoshi-san finally answer? (writing)
Eiichirou: Yes. I know this one. This would be watching DVDs ne. (writing)
Sho: Correct ne~!
Aiba: What is that, not being able to watch DVDs?
Eiichirou: Sorry, thank you.
Sho: here's your Matsui-pole~.
Eiichirou: Matsui-san's rule is that hobbies are forbidden in our house ne. (writing)
Ogura: Why?
Eiichirou: Well, I'm busy, and she's busy too ne. We've decided that we'll only do things that we can do together ne. (writing) So,
if for example I had golf as a hobby, um, if I had a day off I'd go out right? Normally if you had a day off you'd go out right?
So then your days spent together would completely disappear ne. So, I at least watch some DVDs at home ne. Or so I say, but
I made a theatre room. In 6 years I haven't even watchd 10 DVDs. (writing)
Sho: Ah~, what a waste.
Aiba: But I mean, shouldn't Matsui-san just watch them with you? (writing)
Eiichirou: Unfortunately she doesn't really like movies ne. (writing)
Ogura: What doesn't she like about them?
Eiichirou: It appears that she thinks just staring at something is a waste. (writing)
[Announcer: Following that Funakoshi-san got the third question right as well, and another Matsui-pole. Well, that's a given.]
Sho: So then, let's move along to the next question. Ogu-san, if you please.
Ogura: Funakoshi-san loves this certain element of Matsui-san. So, what element of Matsui-san would it be that he likes?
Aiba: Yes yes yes.
Sho: Aiba-kun.
Aiba: Um, her solicitude. (writing) She's extremely solicitous ne. You like that as well but that's not it?
Eiichirou: I think that definitely must not be the right answer. (writing)
Sho: It's not the right answer ne.
Jun: it's not the right answer?? Yes.
Sho: Yes, Matsumoto-kun.
Jun: The fact that her writing is so nice. (writing)
Ogura: Her writing's nice huh.
Aiba: Her writing's nice.
Sho: That's incorrect.
Eiichirou: It might not be something concrete ne. (writing)
Aiba: It's something concrete huh...
Nino: That guy's a contestant too ne?! (writing)
Aiba: yes yes yes.
Sho: Aiba-kun.
Aiba: He likes her face, her looks! (writing)
[writing: That's broad]
Sho: I think that's a given.
Aiba: That's too all-encompassing right. Okay! Her teeth line up well! (writing)
Eiichirou: That's incredibly concrete!
Aiba: That's the opposite?
Eiichirou: It's the opposite.
Aiba: it's the opposite, the opposite.
Ogura: it's no good huh?
Sho: it's no good is it? Then~, since you have it all Funakoshi-san... (writing)
Eiichirou: I was hoping it wouldn't have to be the one to say it.
[writing: If you please]
[Announcer: After this, Funakoshi-san sends a message of love to his wife. What element of Matsui-san does Funakoshi-san like? Funakoshi-san,
the correct answer if you please.]
Eiichirou: Eh~, well, um, the way she's like a young girl I suppose.
Sho: Correct! As you would expect! As you would expect of Funakoshi-san. What kind of element is that, the way she's like a young
girl?
Eiichirou: Um~, well there's the way you can't tell what she's going to do, she's simplistic ne. (writing) Just when she's gotten
her hands on something she finds for her next target and sets out for it, just keeps pushing onwards like that. I guess
that I'm both nervous and excited, wondering 'what'll she does next?' what is she doing?'.
Sho: So would you be able to send a message to Matsui-san?
Eiichirou: Well, I tried to put a lot of things into the quiz that would make you happy, but none of them can make you happy ne?
[writing: Ultimately faint-hearted]
[Announcer: This week's honor student is Gunma-ken's Yuuki-Bunny, who submitted the oden curry. We're calling for submissions on
'what did you do last night?' for Kikuchi Momoko. Please expand on her image!]
Aiba: bang!
Sho: Ogu-san's been shot! Ogu-san, Ogu-san!
Ah...Sho's death scene nearly killed me;P He looked like he was made of cardboardXD And Aiba's one line voer and over again...but he looked really good holding a gun like thatX3 The funniest part though, is how much control crazy Kazuyo's got over her hubbie...not only a 300$ a month allowance, he can't watch movies in his own home or play golfO_o Um. Deal-breaker? No reallyXD I suppose at that age you're more willing to compromise? Or at least he isXD But I really do want to try oden curry...
Plus, a translation of the latest Hanako article on Jun^^

Secret Arashi-chan's Arashi-san: This week's Arashi-san - Matsumoto Jun
Having profited from the 'thickness' of the first half of this year, it all becomes the motivational energy of the latter half.
With starring-role movies being released one after another and Arashi's Dome Tour among others, the first half of this year for Arashi
and Matsumoto-san was such that even the fans were incredibly busy. It appears that it was the same for he himself. "I was doing
promotions while filming the movies, I sometimes had the sense of 'which one am I doing now?' ne. Because of 'Himitsu No Arashi-chan'
and the tour it was a busy first half of the year even with Arashi'.
Amid that his senses towards his work have gotten even further honed.
"Just putting this out, furthermore after putting it out, the time it gives me input will absolutely decline. When that happens...though
I think it's not like there would be none, but there are moments when it feels like nothing's being drawn out of me.
But, in part because of that, that's how my theme recently is what kind of thing I'm making with those around me, the pursuit of what
can be done at that place...conversely, I think that pursuing something is the right way to do it."
In saying that you're using your full senses every day, doesn't it seem like you frequently feel tense?
"No, I have a fair amount of time where I just space out?"
Well then, at what moment do you return to yourself?
"Each and every one of them is me (laugh). But, I guess it would be when I get home...taking off my shoes and putting away my things,
turning on the tv or the computer, making phone calls. The other day when I called a bunch of my friends the exhibitions at the clothing
stores I wanted to go to were all over. There's nothing I can do, so I plan to go buy from the store (laugh)."
The busyness of the latter half has already begun.
We look forward to the continuation of Matsumoto-san seeming to show us yet another new side of himself!
'Secret Arashi-chan!' TBS, nationwide, every Thursday 10~10:54pm.
The 'Akasaka Arashi-chan Clinic' which rigidly checks out the true form of female celebrities, 'Childminder Arashi' where they
diligently look after children, as well as various other things, specialty series are being born one after another. Speaking of variety
shows where you can enjoy Arashi getting worked up for a full hour, this is it!
The celebrity world's biggest Matsumoto maniac, a date with Morisanchuu's Ooshima.
(pic1) Her request from the images in 'Kakushi Toride no San Akunin' was horseback riding. This is where to act like a prince.
(pic2) Matsumoto-san also says the handmade lunch that Ooshima-san got up at 5am to make is delicious, and his tension is unexpectedly
rising?
Aired on June 26th was the "Hana Yori MatsuJun: Love-love Attack Date Plan" with Morisanchuu's Ooshima-san. In complete contrast to
the high spirits of Aiba-san and Ninomiya-san who watched over them on location, Matsumoto-san's expression was dark. He unconsciously
grimaced when Inoue Mao-san made an appearance in the role of Makino Tsukushi. But despite that he followed the script (by Ooshima)
and gave the occasional explosive Doumyouji fan-service, like when critisizing Ooshima-san's looks by saying "She ain't no Cameron
Diaz!".
Following that Ooshima-san's recklessness went so far as requesting to feed him a bite of her handmade lunch. On top of which, she
acted like a crazed fan by video-taping the whole thing. And after eating they progressed from horseback riding to bowling, where
Inoue-san re-appeared. The women's battle with a 'kiss on the cheek' riding on it...safely passed the first stage with the narrowly
vitorious Ooshima-san compromising (?) with a kiss on the hand.
The end was enacting a drama treatment of 'wanting to die in Jun's arms'. He acted so stricken as to be unable to hold the fallen
Ooshima-san in his arms. With Matsumoto-san bewildered from beginning to end and the on-set pair laughing uproariously from beginning
to end, it was a contrastive and memorable stray project!
A secret problem consultation with Hanako-san.
You've rushed into the latter half of this year as well. Soon it will be the period where women want to really head into battle. From
Matsumoto-san's perspective, please give us a lecture on 'this is the popular woman of fall-winter'!
You've got to raise the guy's tension by appealing to him with your differences!
"Eh? This is hard huh...what would it be...I prefer a relaxed attitude ne. Being exaggerated is a little much. Ah, a relaxed attitude
plus 'differences' I guess? For example, even though you're normally natural, at some point getting really into it, or doing something
from your nature that's unexpected. But you don't have to 'pile' up your hair (laughs). Things like wearing black even though you
normally don't, when gathering together in a group things that catch your attention like that are what get my tension up (laughs)."
A discussion for the enxt Arashi-san from Matsumoto-san.
Please tell me some ways to relax every day. Conversely, what do you when you get worked up?
I like that even he has moments where he can't figure out whether he's coming or going (*remembers a point in february where she thought last year was 2005>_<*). But I wish him luck in the rest of the year too, may it be as full and fulfilling as the first half^^ And good grief, give the boy some vacation timeXD Plus, his advice is common sense, but works rather well. Don't change yourself, just explore your uniqueness^^ It's what makes us different that makes us interesting after all:)
And, yuckie_chan showed me this pic and I had to post itXD Too cute!<3 The article just talks about how much Jun lvoed picking up this little girl and was like an adoring parent on set. Really looking forward to seeing this drama...
At any rate, I need to get back to planning my trip and answering emails before work starts again tomorrow...yes, today is a day off, in fact this is the 'August long weekend' in Canada. Um, I've lived here almost my whole life and I have absolutely no idea why today is a holiday...but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth!XD besides, it wasn't really a long weekend for me cause I had to work friday and yesterday... If anyone's looking for a funny summer drama、 Seigi no Mikata (Yamada Yuu/Shida Mirai) and Yasuko to Kenji (Tabe Mikako) are really fun=) Have a great week everyone, dreams are just realities we haven't created yet^^
私にとって夏はこれからです！今年も日本の暑さで倒れそうになるかもしれないけど、絶対に楽しく過ごせるよ：）一人でも平気。。。と何度でも繰り返している。。。信じているまで。
