Hello everyone! Since I was able to watch the most recent Honjani episode with the first "Seven Okans" series, I will translate it here for you. Also, when I was reading through Mixi, I found a person who reported on the MCs during one of the recent concerts in Yamanashi. It's cute :-)
Enjoy! (P.S. No screencaps since neither Windows Movie Maker nor WinDVD read the clip because it was in a Real One format... sorry!)
2006-10-18 Honjani: The Seven Okans
Link to youtube(note: “Okan” is “Mother” in the Kansai-dialect)
Narrator: This is a café in a town in Osaka. As always, the okans from the neighborhood gathered around to chit-chat.
Tadami: Hey, hey… don’t you get the feeling that it’s going to be an amazing day today? (weirdest accent ever, lol)
Yuko: Yeah, it could be.
Tadami: We could really be lucky financially… like we could become really rich or something…
Yuko: What do you mean rich! Then why don’t you pay (for the things they’re having at the café) for us! Pay for us!
Shinko: Calm down…
Yuko: Oh no, Mi-chan (the cat) I’m not mad at you. It’s okay.
Shinko: Hold on, Mrs. Shibutani is not here yet.
Yuko: That’s true, I haven’t seen her.
Shinko: I wonder where she is.
Subako: GYAAA$%&$&%#%$&’$&’#’#’!!!!!! (lol)
Shinko: Calm down! Calm down!
Subako: Oh my gosh!! Did you see it!?!?
Shinko: See what?
Subako: The weather forecast!
Shinko: No… has anyone seen it?
All: No…
Subako: I just saw it… and it said, it’s supposed to be sunny with a chance of money today!
All: Sunny with a chance of money?
Subako: There is a high chance of money falling from the sky today!
All: Really?
Subako: Yeah!
Shinko: Well, we should all go to the park to find out if it’s true, then!
Subako: Yes! Yes! Yes!!!! (Runs away awkwardly, haha)
Yuko: It looks like she doesn’t really have a good grip on her character setting yet!
Shinko: “Grab money with chopsticks!!”
All: Yaaaaay!
Yuko: What are we supposed to do?
Narrator: The rules are simple. You just have to catch the money falling from the sky with your chopsticks. Whatever you catch, you can keep. There are four different types of bills so choose carefully! If you’re unsuccessful, there’s something bad waiting for you so watch out!
Yuko: Can I go first?
Shinko: Sure Mrs. Yokoyama, go ahead.
Yuko: If I can do it, I’m sure all of you can do it too.
All: Yeah, that’s true. You’re right.
Yuko: …Did you just say yes?
Shinko: Okay Mrs. Yokoyama, here you go!
Yuko: Okay, I’m going to try my best!
3…2…1… GO! (unsuccessful!)
All: Haha, Mrs. Yokoyama! You look miserable! That was bad!
Yoko: Umm… I really wanted the money, so I couldn’t even let my voice out (because she was focusing)! Alright, who wants to go next?
Shinko: I’ll go!
Yoko: Your household is desperate too, isn't it?
Shinko: Oh yeah, we’re desperate! Alright here we go!
3…2…1… GO!
Yuko: Good luck, Hinako!
Subako: Focus on that one!
(unsuccessful!)
Shinko: I had it!! …No?
Yuko: Of course, no.
Shoko: You dropped it!
Ryuko: Here I go.
Yuko: Good luck, Ryuko! Good luck!
3… 2… 1… GO!
Yuko: Haha, Ryuko you do it so elegantly!
(unsuccessful!)
Shinko: Ryuko, you’re so plain!
Ryuko: I kept on shifting my attention to different bills.
All: Hahaha!
Ryuko: I was going for this one, then another one hit my cheek so I went for that one, then I saw another one so I went for that one.
Yuko: That’s not right!
Tadami: Here I go (very sexily)
Yuko: Good luck, Tadako! (He is calling them by whatever name he wishes, lol)
3… 2… 1… GO!
Shinko: She’s going by the bunch!
Ryuko: There’s another one right there!
(unsuccessful!)
Tadami: Oh I was so close! (in a girly way)
Yuko: Tadako, what happened?
Shinko: Tadako, you had a great chance!
Tadami: I don’t need money anyway.
Ryoko: Here I go! (this wig… hilarious… lol)
Yuko: Good luck, Ryoko!
3… 2… 1… GO!
(successful!!)
Ryoko: YAAAY!!!! I got it!!!
All: How much, how much??
Ryoko: $20!!!
All: That’s awesome! Great job!
Shoko: Here I go! (awww)
Yuko: Shoko, good luck!
Shoko: Yes.
Yuko: Good luck, Shoko!
3… 2… 1… GO!
All: Go, go! Go for that one!
(unsuccessful!)
Shinko: What the heck was that!
Shoko: I did my best and this is what I got! So what!
All: Hahaha!
Subako: Please!!!!
Yuko: Good luck Subako!
3… 2… 1… GO!
Shoko: She’s holding the chopsticks so shortly…
Subako: I want YOU!
Shinko: Hahaha, so short!
(unsuccessful!)
Shinko: Hahaha, you can’t catch it with your hands, Subako!
-The End-
Shinko: So, all of us aside from Mrs. Nishikido were unsuccessful, so we have to drink this! Senburi-tea!!! (note: the tea is good for you, but is extremely bitter)
All: Ready, go! … BLAHHHHH ewww!!! BLAAAH!!!!!
Ryoko: You all have disgusting faces!
Shinko: Okay, we better go fix our mouth and let’s meet again next week!
All: Okay!
Shinko: See you next week!
All: Bye!
Yuko: Wow, this is really bad.
MC report from Mixi (10/22/2006 Yamanashi 1st show)
- They arrived in Yamanashi the day before the concert. They each had their own hotel room. Yoko was watching CDTV (a music countdown program) in his room, and he saw that “Heat Up!” was #1 in the monthly sales chart, so he got really excited and wanted to tell someone. He first went to Yasu’s room but he wasn’t there, so he went over to Maru’s, where both Yasu and Ohkura were as well. He asked if any of them saw it, and they all said no, haha.
- Yasu and Maru finished shooting their drama the day before in Yamanashi. They were really tanned. Since the hair on their legs gets stuck to the bicycle, they both shaved. Yasu said, “It must be really tough being a girl.”
Then,
Yoko: Yasu, you want to be a girl if you were reborn, right?
Yasu: Yeah.
Yoko: Yesterday at the hotel, I asked Yasu, “If Subaru really wanted to kiss you, will you?” and he kept on saying “No that’s not going to happen!” Then I asked him, “What if Subaru really wanted you to kiss him and he would die if you didn’t. Then what?” Then Yasu still goes, “Nooo no!” Then I asked him, “Which would you prefer: kiss on your own, or be kissed?” and he said “To be kissed.”
Yasu: I don’t want to initiate it!
Yoko: But you have kissed Subaru before, right? Do it now.
Yasu: Nooo! The situation was different! It was the way things flowed that time!
Yoko: Then do it now.
(crowd applauds)
Yasu: Nooo! Not going to happen!
Hina: Haha, Subaru is kind of waiting for you.
Subaru: I’m not waiting! I’m not going to do it!
-While they were setting up for Onigishi, Yoko starts to ramble…
Yoko: When I get married, I want my wife to send me off to work with a kiss. The first time, I’ll refuse; but from the second time on, I’ll let her.
Yasu: (all of a sudden) Waaaaa!!!! <3
Yoko: What’s wrong?
Hina: Hahaha, you (Yasu) got embarrassed (thinking of it), didn’t you?
They never fail to entertain :-)
