Good morning. This is Arashi's Ohno Satoshi.
Here's today's thought of the day; come on!
"The mummy hunter becomes a mummy." [1]
[BGM 'Bad Boy']
What's that?
This is a saying that refers to when a person who goes to fetch someone ends up staying at the other side instead, or when someone trying to persuade someone gets persuaded instead.
Ahh. This was sent in by listener Dreamy-Mummy-san. The message reads:
"Ohno-kun, good morning. I have 2 daughters. Whenever I go to their room to make them study and they watch an Arashi DVD to psych themselves up, I always end up watching it together and getting hyped up with them. Ohno-kun, do you also have things that you ought to do but end up getting carried away instead?"
Ohh. Well, rather than get carried away... That's right. It was when I was in elementary school, I guess. Of course, I was bad at studying in general. But my mum and all never really said like, "Go study!"
But occasionally, "Have you done your homework?"
"Mm, I'm doing it!" And I'd turn to my desk, but I could barely last 30 minutes.
Those in my class were amazing. "Say, how long do you study for?" I'd asked once.
Some were like, 2 hours.
"Eh?"
3 hours.
"Huh?"
Some were like 5 hours.
"How'd you manage 5 hours?!?"
It was incomprehensible. I remember that, when I was a kid.
"Right, so what, right after school ends, do you go study? Like at home, for 3-4 hours?"
But well, more than motivation, that was like a shock to me.
I figured I could never do that. Just sitting at my desk... Just 30 minutes and my legs would be stirring restlessly. And it never really stuck in my head.
In the past, I liked drawing Dragonball. So I used to doodle loads of that. And then to my mum I'd be like, "Look! I drew a really good Goku!"
And then mum would be like, "Ah, that's good!"
And then the two of us would forget about studying. It was like that every day.
Yeah. And of course, my test scores were atrocious. (laughs)
I wonder why? I could do things I liked well enough. It'd have been good if I could have found a way to like studying.
Ahh, but it surprised me. I still remember it well. Like when I did something I disliked, my legs would stir restlessly. (laughs)
Now? Now I'm fine. But even now, I'm still hopeless at it. I still can't really do things stuck at a desk.
That's right. Like I'm doing radio right now. It's incredible. Like headphones over my ears, tucked away in a booth, at a desk with the materials and a pen in one hand... That's the image you have, right?
But now it's incredible.
...I'm on a bed. (laughs) Now there's all sorts of things. I'm recording at a hotel. I'm rolling around on a bed, holding a mic, looking up at the ceiling as I'm talking. (laughs)
That's right. I bet there are people listening in the same position right now. I bet there are. I'm in the same position, so don't worry. (laughs)
Right? Today is a special version! Right. This is probably, I'll probably do a few more of these. Tomorrow'll be in the same position as well. With your favour please.
That's all; this was Ohno Satoshi!
