Kuroshitsuji II Webradio #35
CINEMATIC(?) RECORD Summary
Basically, this corner is where listeners can send any kind of fanmail they want, Kuroshitsuji-related or not. But JunJun explains it as being a savage and brutal corner, causing Non-tan and KENN to feel concerned for their lives. LOL
The first mail is from a listener called “Hoshi no Ko Sayanko (Star Child Sayanko)”. She asks, “If Sugiyama-san, Fukuyama-san, and KENN-kun were to have a summer vacation off from work, what would you like to do?”
Before they even begin to answer, JunJun suddenly asks if KENN has a drivers license. KENN replies that he doesn't, in which JunJun says happily, “Please stay that way forever! If you had a drivers license, I would've snapped!” Sugiyama-san is laughing and seems to understand what JunJun is talking about, but KENN is very confused as to why his senpai would get so angry at him for possessing a license. And after being asked why, JunJun simply answers, “Because handsome men like you should not be allowed to drive cars!” XD Immediately, KENN comes back with, “Well, I'm not handsome so I'll go get my license tomorrow.” Upon hearing those words, JunJun suddenly turns really frantic and says desperately, “Nononono!! Please wait until I get mine~!” A lot of seiyuu are getting their drivers license and JunJun still doesn't have one yet. He was especially depressed when his boss (Morikawa Toshiyuki) got his license. And I think JunJun and Non-tan have had conversations over this topic before because Non-tan really seems to understand JunJun's feelings. Anyway, whenever someone gets a license, they always say to other seiyuu, “Don't tell Fukuyama-san / Fukuyama-kun.” But then there are people who send him taunting texts saying, “I got it~!” And sometimes he'll be talking casually with fellow seiyuu and they'll suddenly say, “Oh, by the way, so-and-so got his license,” causing JunJun to shout, “HUUUHHHHHH!!!!??” LOL Every June, Fukuyama-san sets a goal to get his drivers license...and it's been five years. XD When he was younger and still a rookie, he had the time but not the money (getting a driver's license in Japan is super expensive). Now, he has the money but no time. KENN asks JunJun what car he wants. JunJun really wants an Audi, but people keep recommending different cars for him like an Alfa Romeo (the name causes KENN to snort LOL) or a Peugeot or a Chink. But JunJun doesn't really care what car he gets, he just wants a license. He's going to try very hard to get it this year (I doubt it though XD).
For his summer vacation, KENN wants to get a scuba-diving license. A few years ago, it was extremely popular in the seiyuu world and a bunch of people got it. KENN had the opportunity to go scuba-diving a few years ago, and even though he was only able to go down a few meters, the spectacular underwater scenery nearly changed his life. He also hasn't had the time to get a scuba license yet, but he definitely wants to someday. JunJun and Non-tan both ask about scuba gear. KENN is concerned about the cost of professional gear and the large amount of space it will probably take up in his room. He may have to resort to renting the equipment. But Sugiyama-san nudges him a bit by saying, “But I bet you'd be an amazing diver...” and KENN-kun gets excited and cries, “I have to have it now~! X3 And JunJun adds, “I really wanna snorkel~♥.” XD
They ask what Non-tan wants to do during summer vacation. In a dreamy voice, he replies, “I'd like to go up to Nagano and eat some soba.” KENN and JunJun agree that it sounds like the ultimate day off. But then JunJun says in an accusing tone, “Sugiyama-san, you have a license, don't you?” And Non-tan is like, “Yeah, I kinda do~.” LOL JunJun starts shouting, “Dangnabbit! You young'uns and your fancy cars!!” XD He continues, “We old folks can't go very far because we don't have them cars, but you squirts drive around like you own the road, and whenever your friends need a ride you just seat 'em shotgun and zoom off, leaving some poor loser staring blankly as you speed down the street... THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME ONCE!!!” XD Then KENN suggests, “Let's all go eat soba together.” LOL They plan on going to a relaxing hot spring too. In the end, they decide to make “We Want Cars” their motto for the year. XD Sugiyama-san jokes, “Maybe the listeners will send us some toy cars.” LOL
The next listener is “Shikimaru” and she writes on the topic of hot summers. On a excruciatingly warm night, she recommends placing an ice-pack pillow underneath your to neck to beat the heat. KENN comments that his parents also did the same thing for him when he was a child.
JunJun suddenly unleashes his own idea of a good defense against summer heat - take a cold shower, sit near a fan, and cover yourself with Vicks Vaporub. XD I mean, it does provide a cooling sensation when you put it under your nose and throat, but where does he come up with this stuff? LOL Following that random note, Non-tan introduces a type of body wash that creates the same soothing effect. He used it once and really liked it. KENN and Fukuyama-san would like to try it too, but then JunJun mumbles, “I still recommend Vicks Vaporub ♥...” Then KENN gets all excited and says, “Let's totally invent a special Vicks for summer heat!” Perhaps they'll make big bucks with it. XD
They continue talking about good heat-defying products. Sugiyama-san brings up a towel he once purchased that, once dampened with cold water, stays cool throughout the day. He loves to hang it around his neck and sit near the fan. KENN mentions the “ice-muffler” - a special scarf that keeps the neck cool instead of warm. JunJun feels bad for the people who accidentally wear an ice-muffler during the winter. XD
The last mail is from “Wakame”. In the classroom next to hers, there is a teacher who sounds like Sugiyama-san (lucky~!). She proceeds to ask the hosts what subjects they would like to teach if they were teachers. She says that she often imagines the Shinigami Trio as teachers. Her wish is to get scolded by Will for falling asleep in class. KENN is like, “She must be a masochist.” LOL
JunJun starts off on a rather serious note. He believes that education in Japan is at a disadvantage because there are no debate classes. Sugiyama-san strongly agrees. He says that, without any debate knowledge, students will have a harder time speaking their minds and making their opinions known. Fukuyama-san wants to teach the proper way to have arguments. Not necessarily debate, but he believes that a lot of young people now are getting into huge fights over petty debating errors. He wants to teach them how to “argue politely” - be considerate of your opponent's thoughts; don't say anything that would insult them or hurt their feelings.
KENN wants to teach internet etiquette, especially the policy with illegal downloading. He has heard of many young people who get caught up in devastating lawsuits because they didn't completely understand the consequences of pirating.
Sugiyama-san wants to teach manners and proper speech. He believes that education in Japan is too concentrated on general studies like math and science. There are no elective classes. Non-tan understand that general studies are very important, but he really believes that other classes like sociology, communications, and debate will help students become better adults. He then apologizes for going off on a serious discussion. JunJun says, “No-no. This was all very important stuff. But unfortunately, this corner is probably going to be cut from the DJCD.” LOL Sugiyama-san plays along, “Oh yes, because it was overall boring.” And KENN-kun adds, “Indeed. Let's cut this corner.” LOL
Moving on to the next corner~!
