[BGM ‘Bad Boy’]
Good morning. This is Arashi's Ohno Satoshi.
Every Friday I respond to the messages received on this show.
First up is... Tomorrow's my birthday, right. But well, um, there's no broadcast. But like, we've received a whole bunch of messages.
Happy birthday, Ohno-kun! (cheers and whistles) Even though I'm saying it myself. I'll read some of them.
From Mai-san of Tokyo.
"Tomorrow, 26th November, is Ohno-kun's 36th birthday! Happy birthday! I'll keep supporting you from hereon out, please do your best! Also, today - the 25th of November - is my birthday! This is a selfish request of mine, but I'd like you to say 'happy birthday Mai-chan'."
Mai-chan, happy birthday today! That's great! Tomorrow's my turn!
(laughs) What do I mean? 'My turn'!
Eh, well, let's move to the next one. From Mika-san.
"Satoshi-kun, good morning! 26th November will be Satoshi-kun's 36th birthday, so happy birthday! Incidentally, my birthday is 27th November."
Really?
Mika-chan, the day after tomorrow's your birthday, right? Happy birthday! (cheers and whistles)
Mai-chan, Satoshi-chan, Mika-chan... For these 3 days, happy birthday! (cheers and whistles)
Mika-chan, I'm jealous of you especially! You have the same birthday as
Bruce Lee! Ehh? Ahh! I wonder, going on like this... Could we keep it going for a whole year? We could, right? If we searched hard enough. That'd be interesting! Though it'd take quite a lot of time.
Man, but I'm happy. Thank you very much, really. We've received a lot and imma read them.
Next, from Dokkin-chan.
"The other day, at work, I met someone who was strangely easy to talk to and had a mysterious air about them. They were a different age from me, but it turned out we had the same birthday. I always feel an affinity to people with the same birthday as me. Ohno-kun, as you share the same birthday as Kanjani∞'s
Maruyama-kun; do you ever feel that with him?"
Ah, but with people that share the same birthday as you, there's that whole "Ah, we're kinda alike" thing, right? Mm.
So like, with Maru, I've known of him since long ago, but the first time I really came in contact with him was when we both did the 'Uta no Onii-san' drama. That was the first proper contact, probably.
[BGM ‘Kumorinochi Kaisei’]
Back then, my impression of Maru was that I wouldn't get along with him. But we just talked normally and... Atmosphere-wise, it wasn't really... I guess we were close. Maybe even a little alike. Mm.
But like, with Maru, that's the case. Like, we have a meal together about once a year. A little while ago, we went for a meal. I mean, with Maru, I've mentioned it before, but he just calls. (laughs) Occasionally. Like, it's kinda... It's not a sempai-kouhai thing anymore, the relationship. Like I especially felt that last year.
And well, probably - just probably! Probably! - since tomorrow's our birthday, there's a possibility that I'll receive something scary from Maru. Eh? Ah, something happy, my mistake. There's a possibility I'll receive something happy from him. So I think I want to give him a little something.
But well, like twins, we gotta both mutually wish each other, right?
So anyway, I'll say it first. Right, Maru, happy birthday!
Right, so on that note, we've received a whole bunch of mail which can't all be read out now, but I'll at least name them. From Chako-chan-san of Fujisawa. Thank you! Also, from Utsumo-san, Ricchan-Mama-san, Mana-chan, Anju-san, Hikari-san's Mama from Yokohama, Jiichan, Ami-san... I'll really read all of them, thank you very much!
So on that note, I'll be turning 35 tomorrow... Ah, 36? You know, being 35's like... "Ah, I'm 35!" I've felt that over the past year. But being 36, it probably won't hit me until I turn 40.
It's like, since I've come so far, I want to hurry up and be 40!
So next year, I'd like to be careful with my body. Like, on a show we had that fortune telling reading
[1] and he said there'd be a tendency to having a poor physical condition. So I figure I better be careful with my health. Also, apparently there's a higher likelihood to put on weight. So I'd like to keep my body in good health.
Since I've worked hard this year, I'd like to take care of my health and properly rest next year!
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!
Have a good day!

[1] On the 2016.11.05 episode of Arashi ni Shiyagare,
fortune-telling talent Getters Iida predicted that Ohno would have a tendency to put on weight in 2017 if he wasn't careful, as he would apparently be under a 'chubby star'. (Nino: Isn't that just old age catching up with you?) He also said Aiba may have issues with dry skin. (Nino: That's a relief, right? Good thing it's not something more serious!)
There's a tiny bit missing (where Ohno lists the names of the people who submitted birthday messages) due to the connection, but
here's the last episode of the week, courtesy of
