[Report] Yoko Solo Part 3 - May 3, 4, 8 & 9, 2010 (Saga, Nagasaki, Toyama)
I have written a quick report for the shows I went to last week. All the MCs are summed up at the bottom of the report. They are not in the most readable form so I apologize for that in advance. But if I had to fix the grammar etc. for it all, I don't think I'd have finished the report this quickly because I'd be too lazy to work on it, haha!
Anyway... here goes!!
[Report] Yokoyama You ga Yacchaimasu Part 3 - Spring 2010 - May 3, 2010 (Nagasaki), May 4, 2010 (Saga), May 8 & 9, 2010 (Toyama)
I went to three cities, six Yoko Solo concerts in seven days, haha. I went to Nagasaki and Saga during the Golden Week break and Toyama for Yoko’s birthday weekend. Since I’ve already written a detailed report for Osaka, this report will mainly focus on the MCs and anything that was different from the Osaka shows.
These were my seats for the three venues:
OPENING
1. WONDER BOY
2. AME-CHAN
3. PURIN - They showed the fans on the screen during this song, and I was able to find myself in the first show in Toyama on the 8th, haha! It was easy to find myself because I was in the 1st row of the 4th floor (it went up to the 5th floor) and I was wearing my bright yellow green jacket. My friend said we were on the screen in Saga too but I didn’t see that… I also found another friend on the screen during the second show on the 8th.
4. ICHIBYO KISS
5. HOPE - In Osaka, they didn’t have a title for this song yet but here they had the title and the lyrics shown on the screen. I can now sing this song and have memorized almost all of the lyrics since I’ve been focusing on the screen a lot!
GREETINGS - In Nagasaki, he said Happy Birthday to Kikuoka, whose birthday was just a few days ago. Yoko had told Kikuoka and Kunta (whose birthday was also a few days earlier) that they could go out and buy whatever game they wanted and that he’d pay for it. Kikuoka brought the receipt. Kunta did too, but he had bought a case as well as a game… Yoko also talked about how Kunta was late for rehearsals, but I’ll mention that in the MC Report part.
In the first show in Toyama on the 8th, Yoko said he drank too much the night before so he is sweating a lot. He also smells like the liquid for perm. He just got it yesterday. He had it a few weeks ago but because he immediately did a concert after getting the perm, it came off quickly. They say you shouldn't take a shower after getting a perm; same with sweating. It's bad for the perm.
6. CHOCOLATE - On the screen, they showed how this title is written. “cHocoレート” I can totally dance to this song now, yay!! I think I’ve memorized most of the lyrics, too. Yoko said that he practiced this song by listening to the clip that Shota gave him with Shota singing the song. He said him and Shota are the only two people that have this sound clip in this world. He asked us if we wanted to listen to it in Nagasaki and I was like HELL YEAH!!! But unfortunately he didn’t let us, haha. He got mad that we wanted to hear Shota’s version even before he sang it.
MIRROR SHOW
7. KICYU - In Osaka, he came jumping up from below the stage, but in the smaller venues, a few staff members ran from left to right and from right to left holding a big, long black cloth. When the cloth was gone, Yoko was in the middle of the stage in his Kicyu costume. It was kinda funny to see this from above because you can see Yoko running along with the cloth, haha.
BLACK RANGER SKIT - Please see the plot and details in the Osaka report. It was basically the same, but they went on and on and on with the grandpa (Hamanaka)’s line: “Be careful (Ki wo tsukete ikun jazo)”. Black Ranger would make him repeat that phrase over and over and sometimes made grandma (Kikuoka) do things too because he’d stop doing anything after his main part was over.
The “let me complain about the other guys” part was a bit different from Osaka, too:
Yellow - Chonmage Purin. I want to do Mohikan (Mohawk) nata de coco.
Green - Ohkura doing Ohoku. Isn't that confusing? Hahaha. He’s working with so many famous actors and actresses. Nino, Shibasaki Kou, Tamaki Hiroshi, HOMAKI. Don't tell Horikita Maki-chan that I called her Homaki. Speaking of Homaki, I remember years back when Horikita Maki-chan wasn't in Ikemen Paradise etc. yet, we saw her walking down the hallway and were like "She's cute." Maru immediately walked up to her and asked her to take a picture with him!!!
Blue - He has been diving in the sea. He said he can talk to the fish. The fish talk to him. He once came to me saying “The fish talked to me!” with sparkly eyes so I could only say “That’s cool…” He really has flowers blooming in his head. I think the fish “talked” to him because that’s what fish do in the water… move their mouths like ‘paka paka’! I want to get a tan like him. When I try getting a tan, I always get red and it hurts. He’s getting so many licenses these days, like scuba diving. (Note: On Kanjani Tsuushin, Hina said Shota got a license for operating a ship! WTF!?) He’s too busy with his hobbies.
Orange - He is doing a show with Kaminuma-san in Osaka. He is set for the next 10 years. I want stability as well.
Nasu - (to a fan) Why did you just make a weird noise at the mention of his name? He has the most number of regular shows. He's getting steady money every month. I bet you if you looked at his bank account, it probably has two or three extra 0’s at the end!
Red - "Kyaaa!!" (to a fan) Please give Nasu something like that too. From here on these are my real complaints. Before, I might have been joking a bit, but this is the truth… He sings the main part too much!! When we get our lyrics cards, the first two lines - Shibutani, next two lines - Nishikido, then Chorus - ALL! Already! Then Yasu, Maru, YasuMaru’s harmony, then the one good line for Ohkura, and then second verse YokoMura. We are never on TV! That's why we do so much during the chorus on TV and that's when the viewers think that we are "gattsuki sugi" (trying too hard). Well they don't know how I feel!! I didn't sing most of Naniwa Irohabushi!!
On the 9th, the Veterans brought out a surprise for Black Ranger. While he was inside the peach waiting to come out (yeah, you’d have to read my report from Osaka to know what in the world this means, lol!!), Grandma-Kikuoka was saying his line as usual but his action was totally different. I didn’t realize what was going on; he and Grandpa-Hamanaka kept on going with their lines but their fingers were saying “Shhhhh!” to us. Then the other members of the Veteran (who were in their skit costumes and were not supposed to appear yet because of how the story goes, lol) brought out a cake. A few stupid fans were saying “KYAAA!” and I was afraid Yoko in the Peach would notice, but apparently he didn’t. Grandpa-Hamanaka said the “I’m going to light this explosion” line which was the sign for Yoko to come out… and then SURPRISE!! The cake was right in front of him. The candles were already lit, too. The place erupted at this point and we all sang Happy Birthday to him! Bird-Ito held a camera to film the occasion. Yoko pretended to blow out the candles a few times and made silly faces before he finally blew them out. Yoko said “How are we going to go from here? The story is messed up!” The Veterans said “Back to our positions!” and quickly took the cake away. Yoko said “Can’t you at least give me a few more seconds for it to sink in!?” They forcefully went on with the story, lol.
In Nagasaki, Black picked on Monkey-Hamanaka about how he is “mokkori” when he wears the monkey suit and he shouldn’t stand too straight up because it would just be worse… so he had to hunch, haha. Apparently, the “mokkori”-ness depends on what kind of underwear he is wearing that day. Black was a bit disappointed on the 8th because it wasn’t as “mokkori” as it usually was, lol!!
In Saga, Monkey-Hamanaka, after Black picked on him for not being funny as a monkey, finally found “his thing”. After Dog-Kunta says “I have this Fukkuraana (dog food) so I have the power of 100 men da WAN!!!” Bird-Ito is cut off by Black (because he thought it was dangerous if he continued speaking… he had the same smell as Orange, lol) and then Moneky-Hamanaka says “I have this Mokkoriina so I have the power of 100 men da UKIII!!!” Black just couldn’t stop laughing at this! Monkey-Hamanaka’s face was priceless too; he kept on looking at the crowd with such a manly expression. When the demons (the Muro brothers) came out, he stared at them as if he was really ready for a good fight!
The demons were so cute, especially in the 1st show on the 8th. After big-Muro says his line, little-Muro says the next. Black says “Oh noooo! The little brother’s voice is too high-pitched!! Is it because they were brought up differently!? It was a miscalculation! Why!!” and then the brothers would face the same way, laugh at the same time etc. and Black again says “You guys are so brothers!!!” and they’d be shy in the same way, too. It was very cute!
Anyway, they all fight but Black comes to the rescue, they become good people (animals, demons… whatever) and live happily ever after. The end. (LOL!)
8. ARIGATO - The Veterans and the whole place sang this song together. The Veterans threw some stuff from the skit into the crowd, and one flew just three seats next to me. I actually had many sign boards coming two seats next to me, two rows in front of me, behind me, etc. during this tour, haha.
9. IT’S MY SOUL
MC - I will sum it up later.
10. MAMORITAI
11. WATASHI KAGAMI - This is getting worse and worse, lol. Yoko’s totally made up a new narcissist character that is so not Shota. “Thank you for coming to my live… I’m going to sing to each and every one of your hearts… haha, oh please. You bad little kittens! Please listen to this song with your heart… Atashikagami…”
12. SAYONARA
13. WANSHAN RONPIN
14. BABUN
15. AI IGAI NO NANDEMO NAI
16. FANTASTIC MUSIC
VETERANS - The smaller venues were really nice because it was only Yoko and the Veterans on the stage. No little Juniors. The Veterans sang “Yamenaide Pure,” “S.O.S.” and “Romantic.” Big-Muro also asked us to come to their concert in July.
17. KICYU (Cool Version)
18. confUsion
19. KAWAITA HANA
20. KYU! JO! SHOW!!
21. ZUKKOKE OTOKOMICHI - The only difference in the set list that I’ve noticed is that they’ve cut Musekinin Hero which was between Kyu! Jo! Show!! and Zukkoke.
23. ONIGISHI - He talked about how he grew up with his grandpa and grandma, and didn’t live with his mother for a while. But she’s always looked out for him and even though he’s shy, he’s very thankful and hopes that everyone would say “Thank You” to their mothers on Mother’s Day because without your mother, you wouldn’t have grown up this much. In all the shows, I think he said that if we remember that the 9th is his birthday, then also thank your mothers for Mother’s Day as well. By the way, Murakami is sending his mother flowers.
EN 1. HITOTSU NO UTA - When we sing the “Lalala” part, his singing is quite awful… I think he gets distracted with the “Lalala” so he messes up. Otherwise, his voice suits this song well and I really like this song a lot!
EN 2. GIGA MAJI MEGA FIGHT
EN 3. COOL MAGIC CITY - (In the second shows of Nagasaki, Toyama and the first show in Toyama on the 9th)
---
Now comes the fun (and ridiculously long) part… the MC!!! I have brought my Pomera-chan (a small typewriting device that I can save text files on) with me to these trips so I took notes after the shows with the friend I went to. I think I’ve listed almost everything he said, but as all of us know, he talks A LOT so I’m sure I’m missing something… also this probably is not in the right order and I might have the shows mixed up but OH WELL!! I did the best I could!
Also… I’m just going to copy and paste my “memo” so it’s not going to be a complete report. Sometimes it could be Yoko speaking, and sometimes the sentences are in third person. I’m so sorry that it’s hard and weird to read in this type of format, but… I don’t think I have the time to sit down and re-organize it all! I might edit it and make it look nicer sometime later, but not now. Too sleepy, haha.

MC REPORT
Nagasaki 1st show
Yoko flew in this morning. The Flight attendant’s name was Murakami and it was weird.
Can you watch our Osaka shows? (YES) Really? Did you guys watch DERO? Murakami and I were in it. Murakami got along so well with the other comedians and he was having a great time. I on the other hand couldn't get into their conversation so was at the side... kawaii? No, I have to fix this!
Where did Perry land? URAGA Where is that? Chiba? Perry came to Chiba? No? But YOU JUST SAID!! He came to Dejima? NO!
The last time K8 came was during the 47 tour. They arrived at 2am and went to eat Nagasaki champon. All of their faces were "mukku" (mukkuri = fatty) during the show the next day.
He doesn't remember the venue but the gakuya looks familiar.
He wants to go to Huis Ten Bosch and stuff but he does not have time. He always does what the staff tells him: Airport, venue, hotel, next place etc.
"How many of you have never gone overseas? (Most) Are you serious??? I liked Australia the most; the ocean was pretty and the food was good." He wanted to go to the Maldives but that's not really a place to go with your brother. He asked us whether there is a ship to Korea directly from Nagasaki. The yakiniku in Japan is way better than Korea. What do you do in Korea? Shopping? Shopping is a lot cheaper in Japan nowadays so the general idea of "shopping is cheaper overseas" is not very true. In the Maldives, there is a special hotel where it is undersea so when you get a massage on a bed with the hole at the pillow part, you can see the fish. It's a popular honeymoon destination. Did you know that Sakamoto Ryouma was the first person ever to go on a honeymoon?
Nagasaki 2nd show
Quite a few Johnny's idols have come to Nagasaki. Tsubasa-kun. Tonisen (20th Century). One of the ladies in the crowd (a lady in her 50's) went to them all (raised her hand for every mention of the idols that came).
There is a version of cHocoレート in which Yasu is singing. Yoko listened to that over and over again to memorize the song. There are only two copies of that in the world and Yasu and Yoko each has a copy. Do you want to hear Yasu's version? YEAHH!!!!! Stop cheering, you didn't hear my version yet!!
In Nagasaki there is the Peace statue (does the pose and he does not know what it is). How many of you are from Nagasaki? (many!) You eat champon every day don't you. I hate when people (magazine interviews) ask me whether I eat takoyaki every day or not. Of course I don't!
Oppai... He doesn't care whether they are big or not. He likes boobs. He doesn't care whether a woman is old or not. He likes women. He talks about boobs with the guys too. Subaru said he would pick up and put on the boobs if he saw them on the ground.
His brother is 8 years younger so he has seen his mother feeding the baby. When the mom was raising Yoko, she was doing it right. But when it came to the third son, she started milking herself in the kitchen and stocking the milk in a bowl. Yoko tasted it, but he said it doesn't taste like anything. It was not cow milk. Yoko is curious how and when women's boobs grow. Do they get bigger overnight? Do they wake up and notice OH BOOBS?! Does it hurt? Bras are a pain in the ass aren't they? Do you buy your bras in sets with the underwear? Do you have THE underwear/bra to wear when you want some action that day? Are you wearing them today? What the hell am I talking about? I am saying things that I won't be able to say in Tokyo! Yay countryside!
Do you want kids? Will you ask your husband, “Do you want to take a bath first? Dinner? Or… ME!?” Do you still kiss your husband? (to 50's lady) NOOOOO.
He got into Johnny's and didn't go to high school, so he doesn't have many school-time memories. But he has one: When he was in 8th grade he got confessed by two girls at the same time. They called him outside and both of them had their hands out. He said "We should all go out together!" so he did for a little bit until the girls dumped him at the same time.
Anyone whose birthday is today? Happy Birthday! Obviously, since you have an uchiwa. You’re trying to stand out too much!
I want to dye my hair blonde. It's been black for a long time. I have been in many dramas recently. (0-go shitsu, Quiz Show, Vampire, Hidari-me)
Subaru talked the longest during the VTR. He would be the kindest to girls. His long hair was so long and I knew that it wouldn't hurt to put the hair in my eyes. What the hell am I saying?
Saga 1st show
I thought Nagasaki was in Touhoku. I am horrible at Japanese geography...
I want to take a picture of this view from the stage for J-web. (Ito brings the iPhone) Should I try to fit you all in, or should I include the "YOU" on the stage? Let's vote. Applaud if you want the "YOU" (not many) Applaud if you don't need the "YOU" (very many) Hey, it's my name! It's not nice to want to not have it in there! Fine. Sorry but I'm not going to be able to fit you guys over there (to the side). Takes picture. Now what do I do? Do I press "send"?? Oh look I can zoom in on the faces! Wow, you people over there are laughing so much. Wow, this can zoom... I have to send this to the person in charge of J-web but I don't have his e-mail address memo'd in here. I stopped memo'ing the staff's address because they change it all the time!! The deadline is like 4pm. I would have to do it later.
People must think that I am really stupid. Yesterday, I was losing my voice so I asked the staff for a gargling medicine. After giving the medicine to me, he said "You need to put two drips of that into the water." "...I know" "Don't drink it!" "I KNOW!"
Kunta ate like a pig. I feel like I will gain so much weight if I am with the Veterans. We went to a restaurant called "Yokohama" and they had Sapporo Ramen. This was in Nagasaki. Where were we??
Yesterday, I couldn't sleep well. We were playing games until 3am and when I turned the lights off at the hotel, I started hearing the sound of the TV from the next room. I figured, eh it's my kohais having fun so I will ignore it. However, it went on for a long time and I waited another 5 minutes until I decided to go tell them to keep it down. I turned the lights on, but at the same time the sound stopped. So I hopped back in bed and turned the lights off to sleep again but I heard the sound again. I turned the lights back on and the sound was gone. I noticed that I had been turning the radio on and off in the room.
KAT-TUN will be in Fukuoka tomorrow. I will be in Oita. Tegomasu, nani-masu? I know that.
What do you guys do in Saga? Do you play hide and seek? Do you have a Jusco... do you have a LAWSON? In Tokyo, people go to 109. What do you guys do?
Yesterday we went to dinner and then drove up to Saga. It only took about an hour and a half. There was nothing but a bunch of rivers!! Who is famous from Saga? Ookubo Toshimichi. Matsuyuki Yasuko. Hanawa. EGASHIRA TOO!!
The next song is a song I made with Yasu-kun. Yasu-kun and I are going on a location in Kagoshima on the 6th. He is......... not here, haha And there is no location. Haha.
Do you guys have the Saga Castle? Is it the one Hina and Maru... (KUMAMOTO!!) Okay, please don't finish my sentence for me! You guys have an airport?
What food is famous? Saga Beef... oh no we are having yakiniku tomorrow so we can't have Saga Beef tonight.
How much is the rent in Saga? 30,000!? That is unbelievable! Parking in Tokyo is 50,000 a month. Yeah, I pay 50,000. Fufufu... I am sounding like Hina.
I asked the guys for comments for the upcoming segment (solo song covers). I asked each guy whether I should stay in the room with them or not. Most of them didn't want me to be there, but of course... Murakami was different. He said "Sure sure!!! Sit there!!" I then got embarrassed and left the room.
Toyama 8th 1st show
- Yoko came on the plane from Tokyo. It was only about a 20-minute drive from the airport to the venue. The Veterans came on the train from Osaka by themselves. Kunta was late. Because of him, rehearsals started late as well. But he ate the most out of everyone.
- During a TV Guide interview, they brought him a picture of some Juniors that were on the cover long time ago. Takki was in the middle and there was all of Arashi, Yamapi, Toma, Yoko, Subaru, Hina, Ryo etc. They were more elite than Maru etc. so they had more things in Tokyo. (He only said Maru but he meant Maru, Yasu, Ohkura.) Recently I hear the younger guys saying "We've become closer (as a group) now that we don't use keigo anymore." Yoko said "I never told them that they can stop using keigo. I'd rather have them keep on using keigo to me!!"
- He remembers the dressing room because it is in the basement so the windows are at the top. The guys all wondered whether they could see girls' underwear, even if it is not somewhere they would be walking.
- For catering, they got some bread and the name of it was something fancy; why couldn't they just call it an “anpan”? Where can you get that? You can get it at a combini or supermarket? No way!
- There is nothing in Toyama is there? He took a short walk outside for a bit and saw a combini and a post office. He shook hands with a few fans he saw but was told to get back into the car soon. He thinks they might have been local Toyama fans because they were on a bicycle.
- Do people in Toyama check the Weather forecast for Ishikawa? Yesterday Yoko checked the weather forecast on the TV in Tokyo and couldn't find it for Toyama. Toyama is a prefecture right? Near Ishikawa? Touhoku? Oh no, Hokuriku? That sucks that you don't have a weather forecast for your prefecture. Hyogo alone has weather forecasts for the north and south.
- Did you know that the percentage for the chance of rain is not whether it will rain or not but how much of the area will be rained on? They have many satellites to check things out so they're not going to be like "It might or might not rain today!" No, it actually means 50% of Osaka will rain.
- There are only 3 channels in Toyama?! (actually 5 or so). The channels are all mixed up. Not because it's a re-run; that's not the issue.
- Please watch Echika tomorrow because they are going to talk about babies and how to raise them. The garagara should not be rung but be swung side to side because it will make the baby think. The zentouyou (frontal lobe) will be active. Also, give them lots of steak at the age of 3 because it will give them concentration (because they chew a lot)
- I like B-gata girls. They are weird.
- Toyama probably has nothing because it is so close to the airport.
- Because there were so many applications for the shows in Toyama, the staff thought that Yoko was so popular here... they didn't know that it was his birthday.
- He went to Ishikawa for an onsen. (Yamashiro onsen?) He took his family. They had Matsuba crab and it was really good.
- He asked his mom what she wanted for Mother's Day. For the last few years, he has given her money so that she can go on trips, but lately her price has been rising. This time it has doubled. She asked him for 300,000-yen to go to Korea. He asked why she would need that much for Korea... She first needs a passport. She also wants to pay for the passport that her friend needs to get. Also, it is a hassle to go to the passport place so she might need to take a taxi. Who has been to Korea before? I've said this before but the yakiniku is much more delicious in Japan than in Korea.
- Tokyo has Jojoen. When people go to Tokyo, they want to have Jojoen. His brother said he wanted to go to Jojoen, too.
- The guys are all doing well. He's seen Nishikido and Murakami recently but not the others. He probably hasn't seen Yasuda in like 10 days or so. That's a long time for them. Sometimes it is awkward when they see each other for the first time in ages if they had dramas and such. He always gets worried as to what the other guys talked about while he was gone. K8 is like family to him. If he sees the guys' ochinchin on the ground, he can tell whose they are. Except for Ohkura's; he doesn’t know what his looks like. But, he can pick the others first and the last one that's left would be Ohkura's.
Toyama 8th 2nd show
- The water is nice in Toyama. You can drink directly from the fountain. Hokkaido was like that, too. People in Hokkaido don't have the habit of buying water bottles. Subaru drinks very expensive water. He said that if he put in a few drops of that water into the bath, it makes his skin nice and smooth. Hina tried that, but it didn't work for him. Hina tried other things but nothing has worked.
- The air is nice in Toyama. I could live here when I get older... yeah that's 120% not going to happen. So what, I lied! What if I said to you "Oh, you should live in Tochigi!" would you do that!?
- He is going to Hiroshima one more time during this tour. He was told that he has to get there on a car from the previous place... where was it?? EHIME!! The airport in Hiroshima is an hour away from the city.
- They have everything in Tokyo. One time, the staff took him to a restaurant where they had to first enter with a card. Then, the bookshelves moved upwards to reveal a path. Once they got through it, they were surrounded by fish. It was like a water tank.
- The venue is really nice. What usually goes on here? The staff told me that it is rare to have someone do two shows each for two days in a row. Do Johnny's come to Toyama? The last time someone came was K8 in 2006 (Zenkoku Part 2).Arashi did it years ago (they probably won't do it anymore now that they are so big!) and Kamisen (Coming Century) came as well.
- Nani fechi? (What is your fetish?) He hears that girls like men's hands. I have nice hands. My hands are huge. I also hear girls like veins on the arms. Which would you choose, someone who talks about his dream, is good-looking but is poor... (hey, most TV stars start out like that) or someone who is not funny at all but is rich and nice. Yoko is an arm pit fechi but he also likes noses. Ito Misaki's nose (well, MY (=Yoko’s) NOSE) is a great example of the nose he likes.
- They say that it's better not to get married to a beautiful person. I would not be able to date a famous person. I'd be so nervous if I had someone beautiful next to me all the time.
- I hear that girls also like guys' voices. Do you like deeper voices? "Anchaaan" "Koyukiii" I so did not sound like him (Fukuyama Masaharu). My voice is so high. I laugh like KYAKYAKYAKYAKYA
- Girls do not like guys who smoke anymore. I quit smoking two years ago, well almost two years ago. I quit in October (2008). After I quit, I really start to hate the smell of smoke. I wonder how many of you can now raise your hand if I asked you who smokes after I said how much I hate it now, haha. I can't tell you who smokes in my group because it's like I'm telling on them behind their backs. I can tell you who doesn't smoke though... oh wait, then that would mean that I'm telling you who smokes. I'm so stupid!!
- There’s this war game that I’ve been playing, but it’s pretty scary. In the game, they point guns to your back. I’m afraid to go to sleep. I wake up so alert to the smallest noise. Ohkura said that he was scared of this game too and said he would stop playing.
- This is his last work to do for the age of 28. At about midnight... well, at midnight, I will turn 29!
Toyama 9th 1st show
Why are you guys still here? (The Veterans stayed on the stage after “It’s My Soul” when they usually leave.)
Yokoyama-kun, Happy Birthday!
Can you bring out the cake again? I want to take pictures. I will post the picture of the cake on my blog, and I will take pictures of us but that would just be for my memory. Okay you guys janken and whoever loses can take the picture for us.
(Maashii loses) What a loser...
I'm so happy that I can see you guys on my phone... heheheh. (He can zoom in on people’s faces with his iPhone)
Yokoyama-kun we have something for you. First, we got a message from our friends! Douzo!
BAD and BOYS promote their upcoming concerts. (and sends Yoko a birthday wish)
They were just promoting their concert!
Also we have something for you. This is from the Veterans!
Pajamas AWWWWW
And this! Message board.
Can I throw this into the crowd later? NO
Yoko reads out everybody's messages, and they all say “Please take care of us!” so he says "Can you please be more independent!? I'm not Johnny-san!"
Big-Muro's message was very nice. It sounded like a responsible brother.
(Veterans leave)
Yoko's keitai has the Tamori strap, but the paint is mostly gone. Yesterday, he was out walking around town when of the staff told him “Hey, it’s already past midnight!” He didn’t realize that it had already passed.
Yoko got e-mails from Subaru (0:00) and Yasuda (3:30). Subaru's was nice and simple (he showed us his e-mail on the screen). Yasuda's had a lot of emojis and the sentences were very weird. “Can I ask you all what exactly it is that he wanted to say because I don’t understand his Japanese… ‘Ota Ome Yoko Pooo’???” He couldn't show us this e-mail because it contained things that he could not share.
Hey Say’s Yamada-kun sent him an email at 11:30pm of the 8th. "Oops, I pressed the SEND button by mistake!" They share the same birthday. Mori Mitsuko does, too. (8th 1st show)
He also got an email from Hachimitsu. His keitai has a sticker of Hachimitsu.
He got many gifts and e-mails. He's lucky that he was born in May because he's had his birthday celebrated for the last few years at concerts. He feels bad for Nishikido because we never celebrate his birthday. (Maru, too!!) Oh, but he did with NewS? Hina's always celebrating by himself (butai). Subaru doesn't have it often either (Okinawa!!) but his birthday is the same as the Zenkoku debut, so it's always celebrated. He said if they did concerts for Nishikido's birthday, then him and Ohkura wouldn't have a concert during their birthday so that would suck.
He's had his birthday celebrated at drama filmings, too. During Quiz Show, his birthday celebration was shown on the TV news. He got a gift from Sho-kun last year. He was happy to get a pair of sneakers from him, but it was a bit small so his toes were curled up.
