A/N: This was a bit rushed because I was two weeks behind to post translations but I'm getting used to translating FINALLY. HAHAHA. The pace of this episode was fast, thank God :))) Massu started talking about mini 4WD again so I was getting a bit impatient, but the pace was fast, so I wasn't complaining. HAHA. He was so cute in this episode *__* Ugh.
Enjoy~!

MASTER HITS 05/10/13
Massu: Konban Masuda Takahiiiits! This is NEWS’ Masuda Takahisa. How are you all this Friday evening? Every year on this week of May is said to be the affection custom. If you say birds, you’ll see a lot of nests of swallow. The mother bird goes to hunt food to feed her children. And when its feeding its babies, they stick their head out to receive the food as the mother feeds them one by one. In the end, they all eat the same amount. I see~. So the mom feeds them and they get the food from the mom. And when the mom sees that there are still those who don’t eat, they get the same amount afterwards. I see~. The babies who don’t see yet know that the mother is there by her movement. About six days after the baby is born according to the observers, the mother goes back and forth to the nest about 300 times in a day from 6am to 7pm. I see~, they bring food to the nest over 300 times. Since they hatch like 5 or 6 at a time, they bring food for each of the baby. That’s amazing. But I use to watch the nests like the ones that are there near the corner of a roof in the park or something when I was small. I hope I get to see a bird again with lots of love as it’s the week of affection.
So now, I would like to introduce some mails. Masurisa-chan. “Massu, good evening.” Good evening. “Which do you like more, lotus roots (renkon) chips or tempura? I like the chips. I’m lately so into it that I eat them even during work. If you haven’t been eating it in awhile, eat them too, ne? But I still love you more than the lotus roots.”
Thank you so much! So she’s asking if I like lotus roots chips or tempura. Lotus chips… I think I like that more. And Masurisa-chan likes me more than the lotus chips. I’m very happy. Thank you so much!
This is Masuda Takahisa’s MASTER HITS brought to you by Masuda Takahisa. Please keep me company till 11:30pm.
This week’s NEWS!
This week’s news!!! Stage play Strange Fruits has started. I won’t be saying the details of the play yet since there are still people who still haven’t gone to see it. But I would like to do all the shows consistently and take care of myself. Please do support me~!
And Tegomass’ single Neko Chuudoku will be released on May 22. That’s very soon, ne? We’ll be releasing it with limited edition A and B and a regular edition. In the limited edition A, there will be a DVD of the PV and the making. In the limited edition B, there will be video clips of the dance video and Tegomass’ special video Catness video. In the regular edition, the coupling songs included are Sprechchor, Hana ni Omoi wo and many more. So this time, we have 3 versions. The Tego karaoke and Massu karaoke are included too and the coupling Sprechchor and Hana ni Omoi wo are awesome and nice. The coupling songs are very good and I thought it was well-made. Neko Chuudoku and the amplitude are very good too so I hope you all listen to the coupling as well. And for the first time, we took on the challenge of dancing in Neko Chuudoku. So I hope you look forward to it.
Now, please listen to the next song, Tegomass’ Neko Chuudoku.

This is Masuda Takahisa’s MASTER HITS brought to you by Bayfm.
Now, I would like to introduce some mails. First is from Tomomi-chan. “Massu, good evening.” Good evening! “When you pick shampoo, which do you refer to: the scent or the effect?”
If it’s shampoo, the scent is important but it’s more of the effect with scent. More than the scent, I think it’s the bottle. Well maybe how stylish it is. There are some that are only nice inside. But if the bottle is nice then it’s good for me. But if the scent is good too, better. Then next is if I can wash it properly. If it works, then maybe the smell then the bottle.
Next is from Mashuumai-chan. “It was my birthday recently and my friend gave me a mug cup as a present. You mentioned that you’d give a mug cup as well, so I thought I’d tell you. I’m very happy. Have you recently given a mug cup as a gift?”
Oh, receiving a mug cup for birthday, ne? You must be really happy. There are a lot of mugs now that are really nice. There are different colors too so they’re nice. I haven’t been giving presents recently [HOW ABOUT KOYAMA HAHAHAHA]. Well if there will be a chance to give the next time, I think I’ll give a mug. I guess that’s what I’ll keep doing.
Next is from Mayumayun-chan. “This is very sudden, but what do you think about guys who read shoujo manga?”
I think that’s nice. Shoujo manga. I wonder if Kimi ni Todoke is a shoujo manga? [YES IT IS /SHOUJO MANGA FAN HERE o/] The romance type? Those are shoujo manga? Then there are guys who’d really read! But I’m more of watching the anime on DVD that were played on TV more than reading. But I think it’s okay if guys read those manga? In that case, we’d be able to understand the women’s feelings better too. We’ll also get kyun kyun. I think they’re okay. So please read!
Next is from Takaryan. “I just started the polycarbonate body (I wonder if I got this one right?). You talked about the fastness recently, but I’m more of the appearance. The cool and fast ones are good, but if I get to pick, I prefer the appearance. It was a good opportunity, so I tried to make a Master Hits one. It’s a very light one and fast. (lol)”
He’s laughing. Oh, there’s a picture too. It’s cool! Oh, it’s polycarbonate so does this mean he cuts this, himself? How he cut the glass is really cut. *laughs* But this machine is really high quality! There’s even a Bayfm sticker here! Why? This is cool! There’s even a NEWS sticker too. And the carbon’s FRP’s (huh??? HAHA I can’t catch up HAHAHAHA) properly put too. Mass damper is there too. I think this has an aluminum and it’s heavy? I see~. This machine’s cool. I wonder if polycarbonate’s okay? I think it’s faster if you don’t put any on the body. Maybe it’s calmer, but it’s cooler with it. This machine’s cool though. I wonder what’s the maker? It’s very stylish. I think it’s very nice. So he prefers the appearance. Well, cool in appearance and fast is the best. It’s the same thing with the shampoo. [WHAT?? HAHAHAHA] I see.
We had Masuda Cup recently. Our 12th one. We also had preliminary and we did that by time. And we had a tournament and pick the winner from there. This time, we had 12 participants. That’s a lot! Max was 12 or 13 so it was pretty full. But if we were complete, we would be around 16. We became a community. And among the 12 who participated, this time, Masuda Takahisa got 3rd plaaaaaace~. *claps* How subtle~. Subtle. This time, I made a machine thinking I’d win this time, like seriously win. And I was looking forward to winning while I made the machine. But after it jumped, it got stuck on the railing. I thought it was just going to keep running there, fall, and jump out. But it went back in somehow. But I was behind by 2 cars. It was bad~. *sighs* I lost in the semifinals. But I think I would’ve won if I won the semifinals. I’m just reasoning out. It was close, ne? This is the closest I got from winning. There are 2 others on top, but there are 10 others below. So it was a pretty good record.
I have a mail from Mari-chan. “I think it’s cooler to win in a not cool way. The best to be cool and win. But please win first. Please do your best in the 12th Masuda Cup!”
This mail… HOW REGRETFUL! It’s cooler to win when you’re not cool. I see~. So it’s better that way. But according to the picture who won this time, it looks… not cool! Oops! He’s watching from the outside of the room. [HAHAHAHA HE GOT CAUGHT] His eyes are so sharp under those glasses. *laughs* I can feel his piercing eyes. The first, second and even the 10th one don’t look cool, but they’re fast. The 10th one flew and went out of the course. Yes, yes. But basically, everyone’s don’t look cool. If it was like that, I could’ve won first place. But I guess I’m a bit selfish for eyeing for first to look cool and win. It’s like I want everything. I’ll do my best on the 13th one, so please continue supporting me.
Please listen to the next song, NEWS’ Devil or Angel.

Masuda Takahisa’s Masterpiece~!
We all have that one song we know! When we ride the plane or train, wherever we go, we’re with music anytime! I love music as much as eating! I can’t live without music! In this segment, I will be introducing that one song I picked as a masterpiece. Today, I picked this song.
(Song: Suit and Tie [Justin Timberlake ft. Jay-Z])
This is Masuda Takahisa’s MASTER HITS brought to you by Bayfm. The song for this week’s Masterpiece was Justin Timberlake featuring Jay-Z, Suit and Tie.
It’s been 6 years and new album 20/20 Experience came out. It has been since Future, Sex, Love Sound. It has been a really long time. This album was something I was really waiting for from Justin. I went to buy it on the day it was released. It was no. 1 in America and he tweeted, “I was so happy that no words could come out!” And he said to listen to the album with our eyes closed. It’s very stylish, ne? He makes an album and tells everyone to close our eyes. One day, I want to release an album and say something like that. This song that I just played Suit and Tie is probably like the lead song? It’s a very cool song. I want to keep going over the album and look forward to more. So I hope you also listen to it.
So this is Masuda Takahisa’s MASTER HITS brought to you by Bayfm. The song for this week’s Masterpiece was Justin Timberlake featuring Jay-Z Suit and Tie.
I announced the results of the 12th Masuda Cup earlier. So I won the 3rd place. It was a so-so result. We had prizes and punishments too and we had raffles. And we made sure the winner got a lame prize. Since I was 3rd place, we had monomane. I was the one who thought of the punishment but I got that myself. [HAHAH AWWW] Everyone was telling me to monomane like Tegoshi I was like, “Ehh…”. And they asked me to do the monomane of the winner too. So *imitates the winner* [HAHAHA THIS WAS REALLY AWFUL]. So I impersonated some people. There were different punishments. And the two people who always win, either of them get first or second place, so maybe it’s about time for their machines to retire? Maybe put electricity into it? And we want them to change it. So it’s about time for them to change their machines and that’s what we’re hoping. But even if they keep using the same machines, I would eventually want to beat them. So please look forward to it.
I am accepting different kinds of mail for the program: Questions for me, love advice, Brain Master, ideas on the punishment for the next Masuda Cup, and many more! The address is
mass@bayfm.co.jp. The spelling of mass is ‘M-A-S-S.’ We are giving away an original sticker from the program every week to one sender. I am waiting for your mails passionately for your mails. Please listen again next week. This was NEWS’ Masuda Takahisa. Byebye!
