[BGM ‘Sakura’]
Good morning. This is Arashi's Ohno Satoshi.
Every Friday I respond to the messages received on this show.
First up is one from second year middle-schooler Mikapote-san.
"Ohno-kun, good morning. I have a question. Is Nino your only friend?"
Ohh. That's not true! I mean, if Nino is my friend then what about the other three? Certainly, they're rarely... This is a sad topic, let's stop here! (laughs)
One from from Mui-Mui-Maosan.
"Satoshi-kun, good morning. The other day, on a Kanjani∞ radio show, Maruyama-kun and Murakami-kun and Ohkura-kun said, "Oh-chan has hidden luck, so we couldn't fight him". Oh-chan, do you think you're lucky?"
What do you mean? 'I have hidden luck so they couldn't fight me?' (repeats this in the same Kansai dialect that Eito said it in, then laughs) What sort of fight? I have no luck.
For example, like winning stuff or getting upgraded to first-class and stuff, that pretty much never happens. Nothing when we draw lots either. Winning and stuff.
Um, that's right. When I was a kid, when they had those ice cream sticks with 'WINNER' on it - that pretty much never happened either.
(laughs)
Firstly, I have no idea what kind of fight this is. Next time I'll ask them.
Next, one from Yuka-san of Saitama.
"Satoshi-kun, good morning. The other day, on your radio show, you mentioned that eating sweet desserts and drinking sweet coffee would clash. On the back of that, you made some colliding noises by hitting something - what were you hitting? Occasionally when we hear sound effects that seem like you're hitting some part of your body, I've always wondered, 'Is he hitting his thigh?' I'm really curious and my delusions are running wild, so please tell us!"
Ah, where would that be?
You mean the ones fighting, right? (laughs) They're fighting! (colliding noises) This one. (laughs) This is it.
This is my left hand making a fist and my right hand being flat. Normally you'd have both fists, right? (harder colliding noises) But a fist and a fist...(harder colliding noises) That's how it is.
Then a with a palm... (colliding noises) This is how it turns out, it's easier to understand.
So my left's a fist and my right's a palm. I'm just smacking them together. Since they're fighting. (colliding noises) Right? Yeah. So now do you feel better? (laughs)
Next, from 'I'm MJ too'-san.
"On Arashi ni Shiyagare, when Satoshi-kun and MatsuJun talked about Michael Jackson
[1], Satoshi-kun just randomly sang one part of Michael's song. The bit where you said, 'Munayyy... Munoo... Mumaiii...' - which part of which Michael song was that? If you understand what I mean, please tell us! I'm curious."
Don't you know? Really? I thought you'd know.
Fine, let's listen to some of the song then. It's right here.
[BGM ‘Billie Jean’]
This is the song. It's great, isn't it?
Billie Jean.
It's the song 'Billie Jean'.
(lyrics start)
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen,
I said, "Don’t mind but what do you mean I am the one
Here!
Who will dance munayyy
on the floor munoo
in the round" mumaiii
(laughs) And here again!
She said, "I am the one
Who will dance munayyy
on the floor munoo
in the round" mumaiii
That's all. This is the 'munay muno mumai' part for me. That's what I hear it as. It's original.
Do you feel better? So by all means, when you sing 'Billie Jean', please sing my 'munay muno mumai' part here. (laughs)
[BGM ‘season’]
Next, from Tomo-chan.
"Oh-chan, good morning. On Friday, 20th March is the day my university has its graduation ceremony. My 16 years of student life finally ends on this day. From April onwards, I'll become a first-year company employee. I've finally made a dream I've had since my childhood come true. I'll become a kindergarten teacher. I have a lot of things I want to say about how happy I am and all the hopes I have, but actually I'm also very worried. So could you please give this self of mine who's now standing at a new starting line a pat on the shoulder and a message telling me that it's all right, just be positive? I'll raise both shoulders in anticipation."
I see. Right, here goes.
(patting noises) There, it'll be all right.
Should I do it once more? Now this is directed to everyone.
(patting noises) To all of you standing on a new starting line: There! It'll be all right! Go!
Incidentally, I was patting the left shoulder.
And so with that, the weekly Friday messages have been answered. I'll be awaiting your mail. The address is arashi@fmyokohama.co.jp. I'll be waiting for you to send me lots of messages.
See you next week; this was Ohno Satoshi!
