Nishikawa Takanori no IENOMI! 11/28
After a week of NOTHING from Him, on twitter and on everything else, its so good to have this show!
Nishikawa-chan: Wow, it's been a while since I touched a PC!
Nishikawa-chan: Honestly, I had no internet up until today.
Nishikawa-chan: I haven't even been tweeting at all, you know?
Nishikawa-chan: But no, I was in Tokyo this whole time.
Nishikawa-chan: But on twitter I would have to say things and not say others, have to do things and not do others
Nishikawa-chan: IT'S ABSURD
Nishikawa-chan: Indeed, I get tired worrying too much. It's good to take it easy.
Nishikawa-chan: So it's my first day back online! And the 10th episode!
Nishikawa-chan: Have a good hour -----------!
(Bird: I didn't even TRY to keep with the flood of WHERE YOU BEEN and WHY U NO TWEET comments)
When the camera finally turns on, we see him looking totally normal~
Takanori: How have you been? You know I've been busy since spring, with my tour, then IRF, then the musical, so this time in order to give my staff a vacation after they had to follow me around like this, I decided to take a week off, to give them a break. You wanna know what I did? I put up a xmas tree, and I bought a bike, and I did some office stuff, and I went shopping.
He explains that he stayed off twitter to avoid the reactions when he tweets what he does, and then tells us stories bout how people recognize him and tweet About him, like when he's eating ice cream or wandering around costco xD
Takanori: So what did you think last time? With Marty? Opinions, I want opinions.
(he reads some)
Takanori: Yes well I did have a meeting about all the perverted talk, and we'll see how that goes.
Time for complaints!
1. From an 18 year old who has more comments about the spankers and FAXers and general perversion of this show 8D
Takanori: You guys are reading way too much into this show! I just want everyone to relax and have a good time! I'm not sending messages to all these factions and groups!
But then he does a survey to find out just how much of the viewership is a member of such a group, given the options "FAXer", "mailer", "spanker" and "none of the above"
None wins at 40%, and the spankers are a close second XD;;
Next complaint! From a fan who thinks is show is in danger of forgetting about the "electronic batters" who apparently use the gizmo from Kamen Rider... and they expect that he is receiving this item by pigeon.
Laughing hard, he says that if he got anything by pigeon, he would definitely respond in kind.
Takanori: You do realize this show is live? At 11 pm? The pigeons are SLEEPING.
Finally, a complaint scolding him for being tipsy and calling Marty "Marcy".
Takanori denies this, laughing the whole time XDD
But in the end he stops to wonder whether maybe he did mess up the name that way...
Next, he announces the guest!
It's a unit called ET-KING made up of 5 MCs and 1 DJ.
Takanori: I met them at KAZOKU FES, that my friend Micro runs. These guys were SO drunk at the afterparty.
So yeah, two members of this unit are coming; Itokin from Kobe and TENN from Osaka.
Questions from the viewers now~
1. Have you ever tried fencing with a vibrator?
Takanori: You could but it would be a short match. You'd lose right away.
*mimes*
Yeah, you'd lose.
2 (missed)
3. Do you spank before or after solving the puzzle?
Takanori: Well you need to be a little tense to spank properly.
4. Have you ever wanted to sink Angela Aki, piano and all, into a swamp?
(WTFFF)
5. What should I do if a Ｋｉｄａｍｕ (???) came to my home?
Takanori: DOES IT MATTER
Before he can react more, the guests arrive~
The first guy immediately apologizes to him but knocks his mic right off ^^
So they recap how they met at this restaurant party and something about an ostritch head.
As it happens, the other members are in Tokyo - seems the whole unit lives together 8o
Takanori then remembers that the first guy just got married, congratulates him, and offers him a drink.
Takanori: I remember at the party, you were telling me all about your girlfriend, well I suppose she's your wife now, so I know how much you love her and want to take care of her.
Once the drinks are ready, they Kampai~~
ITO-KIN is having shochuu, but Takanori tries to slow him down upon realizing it's ALL booze.
Then he notices the guys's jacket, that says "Hamigaki" (toothpaste" and "110 KING" (readable as ITO KIN if you want)
There's also a Lion on the back.
Takanori: Why do you even wear that?
TENN: He just wants to get noticed, and that's what it takes in Osaka.
The snacks come out while Takanori is talking about ITO KIN's wedding party.
As soon as it's served, they talk about food instead.
Takanori: Me? Normally I cook for myself.
He describes a recipe involving curry roux and ramen noodles.
The guests EHHH because curry ramen is kinda rare.
TENN: Can I come over and eat some?
Takanori: Sure, anybody can. I'll invite you sometime.
Now, onto the proper questions!
1. How did you end up with this band setup?
Takanori: Yeah, I know you have 5 MCs and 1 DJ, but what about the teamwork part? How did that happen?
A: When we started up the band, everyone wanted to be on vocals.
ITO explains that some of the members can actually play instruments, but none of them wanted to do that; they all wanted to be in the spotlight.
Takanori: Well I can't say I don't know how you feel, but...
And since they didn't want to be an all-singing group, they recruited a DJ to go with their 5 vocalists.
ITO: Also we can't sing; We can't do harmonies or anything.
The 6th and final member came to them because he'd gotten fired from another group 8D
So they took him in even though they didn't exactly need ANOTHER MC.
(Bird: One of them is referred to as "shikai" instead of MC, but shikai MEANS MC so idk wtf)
Noting that they've been around since 1999, they talk about how rare this setup is.
ITO tells him about how when they started out, the clubs never had enough mics so they had to share maybe 3 mics between all the members.
Also, the name of the group ET KING apparently comes from a mispronunciation of ITO KIN's name.
When the doorbell rings for Nanase, Takanori doesn't even react and she walks in all casually 8D
Turbo then messes up, thinking they're from Avex when they're actually on Universal.
Nanase asks which part of Osaka they're from, and calls the response (Daikokucho, in the south) a slum 8D;;
(She's kinda right, much of it is old cruddy buildings)
Next question!
Q: Tell us about a tough time.
A: The hardest time was actually a pretty fun time.
Takanori: Well sure that happens, sometimes things are tough but you get through them by having fun.
So the story is about how the 7 members used to live together in Daikokucho.
There's a pic.
Takanori: You look like a construction team about to go to work.
ITO: It was actually a meeting for a party we were going to perform at.
Another picture of them sleeping is shown XD
TENN says his room (not the one shown) was only 2-mats (about 4 or 5 square meters?)
Takanori guesses, correctly, that it was a closet XD
7 guys lived in a 4LDK (that is, kitchen + 3 rooms), which would be pretty tight even for Japan.
But it sounds like they had fun because they were like a big family.
Now the hard part was mostly that they were BROKE, so they saved up their change to buy crappy ramen.
Nanase asks why they didn't take advantage of "big family" sales and ITO explains that it's not so easy when you're all adults.
ITO: Actual families have a bunch of kids, right? The laundry and everything, half of it is little kid sizes! But not us.
ITO then tells them about how in the time between their first release and their getting money from it, they all tried to work part time jobs but couldn't because of all the promotion they were doing! SO they all got into serious debts ^^
Takanori sympathises, saying he knows exactly what it's like.
Incidentally they're still not quite out of debt - they borrowed to pay for clubs, booze, and basic life expenses.
Takanori: Yeah, you're right! The first element of music really takes a LOT of money, doesn't it. More than comedians and dancers, even.
TENN: Yeah, we have to buy instruments.
ITO: And pay for karaoke places so we can practice.
Next question: Tell us about Shinsekai! (It's a neighbourhood in Osaka)
Suddenly ITO and Nanase realize they're from the same neighbourhood!
Also Takanori used to work nearby, when he was living across from Kosaka station.
He lived there because one of his bandmates was from the same place, and he could commute to his job in Namba.
Nanase can't believe it because nobody deliberately lives tehre XD
Takanori: Well maybe not now. Hey lets ask!
They ask the commenters and read out the interesting ones - of course lots of viewers are in Osaka (I commented tooooo) but few are in the specific neighbourhoods named.
They keep reminescing about those "slummy" neighbourhoods and how it was so full of old guys all the time XD
Nanase confesses she never ate at the super famous kushiage place near Tsutenkaku 8o
Even though it's her home area 8o
Takanori tells them about how 20 years ago, when he was living there, it was pretty dangerous and felt like being in Resident Evil ^^
They think it doesn't really feel like "Japan" even though it is.
Then ITO brings up the election we just had here 8D;
Takanori: I wonder how that's going to work out, with the new Mayor. But I think Osaka is genki!
("Making a Genki Osaka" was the previous Mayor's THING.)
Takanori: It's amazing how much Osaka can get genki, and give it out to everyone else.
ITO then tells a funny story about an old lady with a dog in Tengachaya station ^^
They laugh so hard Nanase is in pain 8D;
Fanmail time!
1. From a fan who declares they've been inpsired to end their unemployment by becoming a vocalist.
Takanori randomly asks if all the ET KING members are the same age - 4 of them are while the last two are a bit younger.
2. (Missed it exactly, but it seems to be about relationships)
ITO is jealous of how close Nanase and Takanori are, and they have to point that they ARE NOT a couple; they've just known each other for a long time. Nevertheless, he's jealous of their rapport.
They want to know how he proposed to his now-wife, but ITO claims he can't remember. Mostly he remembers begging his bride's parents.
Finally, we get a song~
From their new album coming out this week.
- Yakusoku -
Takanori finds the song fitting with the timing of how the members are going, what with ITO KIN's marriage and everything.
Nanase: I think it's great that all of you are managing to all head forward in the same direction, it's wonderful~
(I think they're just reflecting the comments ITO made to them 8D)
Now, it's time for the Ikemen Recruitment Corner~
Takanori explains how it works while Nanase complains that everyone is spamming her about it XD
Today's first victim wants to be.. an MC 8D
Nanase thinks he looks like Nobita from Doraemon.
Turbo decides to make us vote on whether we want to see or not. So of course, !WANNA SEE! wins by a LOT.
Everybody reads comments.
Next, a guy wants to be in the back of Takanori's spotlight...
Turbo thinks he looks like Janna da Arc's keyboardist...
Once again, there's a vote, and once again we wanna see~~
The picture quality's not great but its good enough.
Nanase: Are you sure didn't scout him?
Takanori: That'd be pretty shallow.
Nanase: You did, and you can't remember.
Apparently he DOES recruit people at his own events, but normally its for staffing and background work like that.
Nanase points out that there are TONS more applications waiting but Takanori is determined to show only two or three at a time while continuing to recruit more applicants. So there you go.
Suddenly he realizes that he's out of time, so they go on to the ending announcements.
ET-KING have their album and also some lives and events next month.
Nanase has 3 lives in December, one of which is a free show at Narita airport o.o!
Takanori's stuff is the Strike's Back Men's show, the New Year shows at Budokan (which he says will be a little Different this year), and then he announces an Addition to the Men's live, on Nico Nico! (there's a note saying girls can watch too xD)
This is all on xmas eve, at the same time as the normal men's live.
Takanori points out that he was the first artist to start doing men-only shows 8D
Some last mails:
"Tsutenkaku, Tengachaya, and Shinsekai are not slums and they are not in Resident Evil. Please stop defaming my town"
XD
There's another one about ITO's proposal story too.
Finally, Turbo announces next episode and it's guest (Did anyone catch who it is?)
The end!
OF COURSE it went over time :3
Nishikawa-chan: Wow, it's been a while since I touched a PC!
Nishikawa-chan: Honestly, I had no internet up until today.
