Myojo 2016.01: crosstalk (Nakama, Hamada, Kiriyama, Kamiyama, Shigeoka)
Note that I am self-taught, and not a native Japanese speaker. There may be errors. Feel free to share, but please don’t claim this as your own translation. Corrections are welcome.
In this issue, Myojo split the group into two teams, based on location: Osaka and Tokyo. The Osaka team had oden and was asked questions related to oden. In the crosstalk, they talked about their happy moments this year, some incidents in Okinawa, and various other things.
It's a very amusing crosstalk XD
1. Your favourite oden ingredient
2. If you were an oden ingredient, what would you be? What's the reason?
3. Your personal very happy and luckyyyyyyy experiences in 2015
Nakama Junta
1. Beef tendon, konnyaku, chikuwabu.
2. Deep-fried tofu. Our common point is that we tend to be liked by older people more than younger people.
3. I had my first summer vacation since I entered Johnny's. Thanks to that, I was able to visit my grandparents' home in Taiwan! In its characteristic heat, I ate shaved ice that I often used to have in the past; it was nostalgic.
Shigeoka Daiki
1. Radish.
2. Radish! Because it permeates into the soup and creates a nice flavour, like me (laughs)
3. I'm the type that flatly throws away clothes when I don't wear them, but sometimes I'll give them to the juniors. Today, I happened to see (Fujiwara) Joichiro wearing clothes I gave him, and thought "I did something good~"!
Kamiyama Tomohiro
1. Egg.
2. Weiner maki. The figure of it wrapped in fish paste is similar to myself building a wall against others.
3. I was able to travel with my family to various places during the summer. They're good memories! We went to the hot springs in Mie, and we went to Okinawa to celebrate my grandparents' golden wedding anniversary.
Kiriyama Akito
1. Udon. It's delicious to eat it in the soup for oden.
2. Ganmodoki. I just chose it because I like the felling of the word. What is "modoki"!? I want to do my best to become complete!
3. I've become addicted to bedrock bathing. My skin has become soft and smooth. The make-up staff told me "your skin is good for holding make-up".
Hamada Takahiro
1. Sausage.
2. Chikuwa. I resemble its long and narrow appearance, right.
3. As I was walking around the city, a group of 3 girls saw me and said "isn't that person cool!?". 2 out of the 3 said "he's cool". The majority of the girls acknowledged I'm cool!!
We're very happy that our first arena tour was decided!
Kiriyama: This year, we had two singles and two albums, and we also had two concert tours. It was really a very happy year, wasn't it?
Shigeoka: In addition, the most recent very happy thing is that in the new year, it was decided we'll do an arena tour!
Nakama: It's the first time we've had an arena tour.
Hamada: In terms of what places we're going to, it's arenas (disciplined).
Kamiyama: Of course, that's why it's an arena tour (laughs).
Shigeoka: In the tour, it's probably to be expected, but we're going to sing and dance!
Hamada: No, we're not really going to do that. Though I can't really say what we are going to do.
Shigeoka: Then, for two-and-a-half hours, we'll do silent prayer. For Nakama's soul to rest in peace.
Nakama: I'm alive!
Shigeoka: And then somehow! This time Hamada-kun will also appear!
Kiriyama: He's appearing? Thank you, I'm relieved.
Hamada: This time too! I've been allowed to appear!!
Kiriyama: Okay, next! What else did we do this year?
Kamiyama: For me, I'm happy that we were able to do various programs in Kansai.
Nakama: It feels like the amount of people who have gotten to know Johnny's WEST has increased through the programs.
Kiriyama: We were even able to appear in "VS Arashi" this year right? That was also fun.
Shigeoka: Arashi fans have also recognized us and called out "ah, it's Johnny's WEST!" I thought the Johnny's family is warm.
Kamiyama: Because we lost to the Arashi team in the games, I want us to appear again.
Kiriyama: Revenge!
Shigeoka: Hm? Junta didn't appear though.
Nakama: I appeared a lot!
Shigeoka: Ahh, you climbed the wall.
Nakama: I didn't do that!
Shigeoka's love was hidden in Nakama's present!?
Nakama: In terms of something personal, this year, the birthday presents I received made me happy.
Shigeoka: What did you get? Say it say it!
Nakama: Akito and Shige gave me a laptop. My tension rose immediately when I opened it, but below the keyboard, there were scribbles in magic marker... In Shige's bad handwriting, he'd written "Junta's makki". He went out of his way to cross out the "ki" and change it to "ku". After all, it's a Macbook, but I can't open it in front of people!
Kiriyama: Shige was nervous writing on something expensive (laughs)
Nakama: That's not the issue (laughs). Then, Kami-chan gave me a jacket, and Hama-chan gave me a bathrobe and blanket.
Shigeoka: After buying that present, on my way home, I happened to run into Hama-chan. He had a crewcut, but he was holding a fashionable shop's bag.
Nakama: Even if he's carrying it with a crewcut, it's fine (laughs).
Shigeoka: (in the melody of "Bari Hapi"s chorus) kotoshi mo barihappi-, Hamada kakuga-ri-, sekaichuu no waraimono~♪
[t/n: somthing like "this year we're also very happy, Hamada has a crew cut, he's the laughingstock around the world"]
Hamada: Rather than me being laughed at, it's better that people are laughing.
Shigeoka: That's wrong, Hama-chan can properly laugh and be laughed at. That's why you're half-and-half♡
Nakama: After that, the thing that made me happiest was on the day before my birthday. The 5 of us were working. The moment the day changed, we ate together and spent time together. Furthermore, because the members all stood together for the first time on Nissay's stage in 2011, we talked about our memories of that time. It was a happy time.
Shigeoka: I happened to have some photos from that time on me. While we were looking at them we were talking like old men, saying things like "we're young~" "we were reckless~". We were having this conversation in a sushi chain shop. While we were getting excited talking about birthdays, the store staff brought us rolled omelettes in place of cake. Since we couldn't push his face into a cake, we were like "let's try doing it with the rolled omelettes", but he was like "no".
Nakama: I can't do it (laughs).
Shigeoka: Speaking of birthday presents, I got a metal bat from Kami-chan.
Kamiyama: Was it good?
Shigeoka: The end of that bat is springy. While I was thinking "it's not what I thought it'd feel like," I brought it to the batting centre. Well, of course when I hit the ball, it flew, but the sound wasn't like the metallic hit at Koshien, it was more muffled. And then, an uncle I don't know came over to me and told me "this is a good bat. I don't know how you got it, but it's a good bat... (serious)". (laughs)
Kamiyama: Really? I bought that at an ordinary sports store in town though (laughs).
The two incidents Kiriyama had in Okinawa are...
Kiriyama: After that, what else was there?
Nakama: Things about Bari Hapi, right... Ah, we went to record the PV in Okinawa!
Shigeoka: That was really fun! We went at the end of the rainy season. It was really hot.
Kiriyama: The staff got tan enough that when they took off their T-shirt they still looked like were wearing one.
Kamiyama: We had 3 days to film it, but we finished in 2, so the last day we spent off.
Nakama: On that day, all of us went to the beach and had a barbecue with the staff!
Shigeoka: I took Junta by the hand and went searching for hermit crabs with him.
Nakama: Then, when we found them, we put them on top of Akito's nipples.
Kiriyama: Oh yeah! The hermit crab pinched my nipple! It really hurt!!
Shigeoka: And then you were yelling a lot, so the boys on the beach came running over and asked "are you a comedian?"
Hamada: They brought over markers and coloured paper, and said "please sign".
Kiriyama: The manager, the staff, eeeveryone ignored me! Help me (laughs).
Shigeoka: The boys probably didn't even think that it was a Johnny's who had a hermit crab riding on his nipples. Why did you put it on yourself?
Kiriyama: No, that was you (laughs)!
Hamada: Moreover, telling them "I'm not an entertainer" would have been fine, but you added "because you got it so wrong, I can't give you a signature, I'm sorry". It was hilarious (laughs).
Kiriyama: I want to go somewhere with the 7 of us~
Hamada: Hawaii! Waiha!
Shigeoka: Me too, it would be nice to go to Hawaii once more! When we went last year, I was there for one less day than everyone else. The 6 of you stayed in a pretty hotel on Maui, and I was all alone in a business hotel in Tokyo.
Kiriyama: Additionally, you bought sunglasses and were like "I'm going to have my sunglasses debut!", but you lost them after about 2 hours?
Shigeoka: At the hamburger shop, my meal came with a whole pickle. I took off my sunglasses and put them aside while saying "uwa, a pickle!" And in that way, I proceeded to forget about my sunglasses.
Everyone: Hahahahaha!
Shigeoka: Hama-chan felt bad for me and gave me his fancy sunglasses, but they didn't suit me at all, so I immediately returned them (laughs).
Hamada: That's nostalgic~.
Shigeoka: This time, if we go to Hawaii, I'm going to buy sunglasses!
Kiriyama: Personally, I want to go skydiving in Hawaii.
Shigeoka: From a height of 10m.
Kiriyama: No, that's low-!
Shigeoka: Kami-chan and Junta also want to do it.
Nakama: I really don't want to!
Kamiyama: Absolutely not! I hate heights.
Shigeoka: Heights, you say (laughs). In the past, I went to an amusement park with Kami-chan, and I forced him to ride the free-fall ride. Next to us were these little children going "yay♪" and having fun. Only Kami-chan was serious. Moreover, when we were falling, he yelled "I'm 7WEST's---!!"*. I laughed a lot.
Kiriyama: You weren't able to finish saying it because you fell suddenly (laughs).
Kamiyama: I'm okay with rollercoasters, but free-fall rides are just really impossible for me...
Kiriyama: Well, let's decide the Best of Very Happy. ...As expected, it's Junta-kun's birthday right.
Nakama: No way!? I'm first?
Kamiyama: That can't be beat.
Shigeoka: Well, it can't be helped. (to the staff) Here, please write "Nakama's strong demand can't be helped".
Nakama: That's too much (laughs).
Kamiyama: (with a serious face) It's that kind of excitement.
Nakama: I know! You're talking like someone who doesn't know variety (laughs).
Hamada: Next year, we're starting immediately with a tour. That's definitely the the most "very happy" thing!
Nakama: It's a really good start.
Shigeoka: First off, we're going to enjoy the tour before us, and then one step at a time, we'll progress, and one day, we'll go on a dome tour!
