Yoko says his birthday was long this year, he was still celebrating up to last night. He met up with the “Haikei team” (< Hina’s words), and everyone brought him a present except Nino…
Yoko : What do you think he brought with him?
Hina : What did he bring?
Yoko : That guy, he brought milk!
Hina : What the hell?!
Guy : Aahahahahahahaha.
Yoko : Because he went to Gunma.
Hina : Is (it because) milk from Gunma (is) good?
Yoko : I don’t know!
Hina : You don’t know this.
Yoko : He said, “it’s delicious”
All : Ahahahahaahhaha.
Hina : Milk is generally delicious, ahaha.
Yoko : I told him, “thanks.”
Hina : That’s good.
Yoko : I was happy…
Hina talks about what he did yesterday…
Hina : Yesterday…was the day of Okura’s birthday…
Yoko : Uh huh.
Hina : After work, with Subaru, the 3 of us went to eat.
Yoko : With Okura?
Hina : Uhn.
Yoko He was free? That’s kinda sad…
Hina : That is sad news.
Yoko : Ahahaah.
Hina : He was free. And…we all thought he had plans right? So at the beginning it was just me and Subaru, the two of us…
Yoko : Uhn.
Hina : …going to eat. We’re going by car, and then Okura pops in and says “I’m coming today too.” I asked him “You don’t have plans?” and he goes “Not today.”
Guy : Aahahahah.
Hina : I said, “Ahh, really? Then…let’s go.”
Yoko : Sad…
Hina : Isn’t it?
Yoko : Uhn.
Hina : Then…at the end…it’s really nothing…and I thought it was kinda ick with 3 guys but, I told the person at the restaurant secretly…and at the end when the desserts came, I said, “Ah, only one plate please”…everyone pretty much gets it right? Then that guy said beautifully, “Uwa! How did you guys know?!”
Guy : Aahahahahahahaah.
Hina : He did a beautiful reaction…
Yoko : That guy…wha…is good at that kind of stuff.
Hina : Really…
Yoko : Don’t you think that was his true feelings?
Hina : Uhn…Tacchon is frank like that…

I don’t know where to put this, but Yoko (ever the pro) yawns audibly a couple times throughout the show.
They talk about baseball : Yoko+English =
Yoko’s trying to say the name of a baseball team…
Yoko : Daiei Box…not Daiei. **NOTE : the team’s old name was Daiei Hawks, it’s now the Softbank Hawks**
Hina : Softbank.
Yoko : Softbank Box…no…what am I saying?
Hina : Aahah, you got half of it right.
Yoko : Softbanks?
Hina : Softbank.
Guy : Aahahahahahaha.
Yoko Softbank, ahahaha.
Hina : You don’t need to forcibly add the “s.”
Yoko : Hahaha, I’m already slow (tonight)…
Hina : Ahaahahaha.
Yes! No! Dictionary =have you initiated a kiss before?
Main Project! = because next week guest’s is Tegomass and they have that new song “Kiss - Kaerimichi no love song,” they’re doing a kiss contest tonight, where listeners call in and act out situations with Hina or Yoko…yeah. I’m not sure how to write these out cause they’re all little skits and aren’t really thaaattt interesting…so I won’t, ahahahaa.
Taichi’s Request = talk about the weird obachans you’ve seen in Osaka.
12 o’clock! = Yoko+Hina call Okura
Ending talk = they play that Tegomass song in the background… I kinda like it, hahaha, (I blame LOVELYCOMPLEX…speaking of which, why not a Kanjani song? The author/artist is a big Kanjani/Subaru fan already…Otani=Subaru no? …but I digress).
I had a mini Nino marathon today... "Haikei" + "Blonde Sensei" (poor Taichi) + random "Magomago"s + his new solo song = Nino is a genius.
Recommen started 40 minutes later because of a baseball game.
Opening Talk =
Talk about the Potato Festival << wha?
- the Prime Minister was there.
- they were told that he was going to be there, but Hina didn’t hear that.
- when Yoko greeted him in the middle of “Sukiyanen,” Hina had the best reaction : “Prime Minister Abe ya ne ya!” << I didn’t know how to properly translate the ya ne ya…
- they were also told that they had 40 minutes before they were to perform, but then that was suddenly changed into 3 minutes.
- they barely had enough time to change.
- Hina didn’t wear any makeup on stage. (Hina : For the first time in 5 years!)
- Yoko was watching DragonBall until the 3 minutes thing came up.
They’re gonna call Okura later (at 12) because it was his birthday the day before…
- they don’t know if he’s gonna pick up or not, they didn’t tell him beforehand that they plan to call him.
- Yoko brings up how when they called Maru (without warning) last time, he told them he was “drinking.”
- they wonder what famous saying/quote Okura will leave tonight.

Hina : Ahaahahaha.
Yes! No! Dictionary =have you initiated a kiss before?
- Yoko+Hina ask if this girl has a boyfriend right now, she says it’s complicated and explains how they started dating last Valentine’s, broke up early this year, and got back together on this year’s White Day…
Yoko : That’s not complicated at all.
Hina : There are stuff like this.
Yoko : My family matters are more…
Hina : Stop! Already! Really!
Caller : (laughs)
Yoko : It’s/They’re so annoying…really.
Guy : Aahahahahhahahahahahahaha.
Hina : This is no good yo.
Yoko : It couldn’t become a joke/You’ve stopped my joke.
Hina : You have no dreams, Yokoyama-san.
- One of the callers wore a Goku (Dragonball) costume to their concert and Yoko remembers her.
- They find out that one of the girls hasn’t kissed anyone before…
Yoko : Dude, when was your first kiss?
Hina : Me…third year of middle school. << I’m guessing…14? 15?
Yoko : That’s real…
Hina : I’ve talked about this many times before.
Yoko : Third year of middle school?
Hina : Uhn.
Yoko : How did you kiss?
Hina : In my house.
Yoko : In your house?!
Hina : My house. My brother was in the living room.
Yoko : Who started it?
Hina : The other party did.
Yoko : No way…
Hina : Uhn.
Yoko : Boring/Not interesting!Yoko : Eh?
Hina : Then what about you?
Yoko : I still haven’t done it (=kissed someone)
Hina+Guy : Aahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahaahaha.
Hina : Enough! Of that! Boring/Not Interesting! Really…
Yoko : I haven’t done it.
- Yoko the noisy (and somewhat creepy) bastard asks callers way too many detailed questions about their kissing habits.
Main Project! = because next week guest’s is Tegomass and they have that new song “Kiss - Kaerimichi no love song,” they’re doing a kiss contest tonight, where listeners call in and act out situations with Hina or Yoko…yeah. I’m not sure how to write these out cause they’re all little skits and aren’t really thaaattt interesting…so I won’t, ahahahaa.
- There was one where the girl picked Yoko and the situation was that she kisses him while he’s sleeping so Yoko doesn’t have to do anything but he screws up anyways by talking about the fact that he has nothing to do.
- Yoko mentions that Subaru makes the best kissy sounds (=smacking his lips)
- Hina has a really nice talking voice << I like all the “uh uh”s he makes while listening to someone talk…
Taichi’s Request = talk about the weird obachans you’ve seen in Osaka.
- They say that they’ve often been hit by obachans on the streets, like slapped on the arm and stuff. Yoko says when that happens, he gets a “I’m home” kind of happy feeling.
- Hina : More than anything, they’re energetic.
12 o’clock! = Yoko+Hina call Okura
- They’ve got information from their manager that Recommen was on in their car and though the manager was able to lower the volume, Okura mighttt have heard that they’re planning to call him…
- Also from the manager, Okura went to eat Ramen with Ryo after the Potato Festival.
- They call but it takes a long time for it to…connect (?) …and the line’s dead or doesn’t work…anyway, their first try doesn’t work and they call again…
Yoko : Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. The worst is if we can’t get to Okura, let’s call Maru!
Hina : That has nothing to do with this!
Yoko : Aahahahahaha, Maru said he was listening to the show.
Hina : Ahhhhh.
Yoko : He’ll probably pick up/appear on the show.
Hina : He would.
Yoko : He’ll do it happily!
- The second time…it rings for awhile, Yoko+Hina are thinking Okura’s not picking up and then…
Okura : Hello?
Yoko : Hello?
Okura : Haihai.
Yoko : Do you know?
Okura : Yokoyama-kun?
Yoko : Ahahaha, you listened didn’t you?
Okura : Well, I’m sad to say…I didn’t want to listen…
Yoko : highpitchedlaugh
Hina : You listened?!
Okura : Well...I heard it in the car on the way home after the Potato Festival.
Hina : See!
Yoko : Look, I just said it now. (to Okura) Just now, the manager came.
Okura : Yes.
Yoko : He said, “Oh shit, he[=Okura] might have heard” and got in there really quickly.
Okura : Right. I didn’t want to listen!
Yoko : Man, you suck. You should have act even if it’s a lie.
Hina : At least pretend you didn’t hear it!
Okura : No, I wanted to pretend I didn’t hear it, but Subaru-kun said, “It’ll be more funny if you had listened.”
Yoko+Hina : Aahahahah.
Yoko : Eh, is Subaru also there?
Okura : He’s not. I’m by myself.
Hina : Ah, by yourself.
Yoko : What?
Hina : You guys already disbanded?
Yoko : Subaru’s not there, he just said that and left?
Okura : Right.
Yoko : The worst!
Okura : Right…so I thought I should be by myself…though I thought about going to meet up with friends…
Yoko : highpitchedlaugh
Hina : Because of this[=the show]? How commendable!
Yoko : Speaking of which, sorry for making you feel anxious.
Okura : That’s fine.
Yoko : Also…I heard that you didn’t have anyone (to hang with) even thought it was your birthday yesterday.
Okura : That’s right.
Yoko : So then you went with Hina and Subaru?
Okura : Right, moreover…it wasn’t very exciting…
Yoko : highpitchedlaugh
Hina : Maaa…
Okura : Really!
Hina : It wasn’t that exciting with 3 guys.
Okura : No…again…Subaru-kun seemed like he wasn’t quite down with going to eat Italian.
Yoko : Why? Why?
Hina : Okura and I like Italian food right? So we went with high tension, but Subaru said, “I hate eating complex/difficult food.”
Yoko : Uhn.
Hina : And he didn’t talk at all.
Okura : He did say he’s not coming (again to the restaurant) for the rest of his life. >>Not 100% sure about this line...
Yoko : Ah, that? He said that after going?
Hina : After we got there. After we sat down…
Yoko : highpitchedlaugh
Hina : …he went, “I don’t understand this” even after I (we?) explained the menu to him.
Yoko : highpitchedlaugh
Hina : Despite it being Tatsuyoshi’s birthday.
Okura : Right.
Yoko : That’s the worst! That’s awful! I’d hate that kind of birthday!
Okura : Right?
Yoko : I’d hate that kind of birthday!
Okura : But they did treat me.
Yoko : Ahhh, that’s good.
Okura : Uhn.
Yoko : Wai…dude, now? We’re calling members on their birthdays each year.
Okura : Ah, really? This is the first time you’ve called me.
Yoko : This is the beginning.
Okura : Hahaha.
Yoko : So…here…you’re …22 …right?
Okura : 22.
Yoko : What are your aspirations for 22?
Hina : In a sentence…
Okura : A sentence…because this is telephone, it’s a bit less scary.
Yoko : What is?
Okura : Because there aren’t any staff here…
Yoko : Dude, what are you saying? What is scary up to now?
Okura : Aahahahahahahaha.
Yoko : We haven’t met any staff that are scary right?!
Okura : (laughing like he’s having an asthma attack)
Yoko : They’re always zoning/blanking out.
Okura : Aspirations?
Yoko+Hina : Uhn.
Okura : Um, I see…of course, um, I want be told that I’m funny by Yokoyama-kun and Murakami-kun.
Yoko : Hahahaa, you, don’t say stupid things…
Okura : Ahahah
Yoko : muffledlaugh
Okura : Of course, I think I must been recognized/approved by you two.
Yoko : That’s very depressing/gloomy…(laughing while talking) you’re very gloomy today…
Okura : Hahahaa.
Yoko : Very depressing.
Okura : …become a regular on Recommen…
Yoko : Ahaha, you definitely don’t think that!
Okura : What the hell! I said it! At the beginning of this year…
Yoko : Eh?
Okura : Um, I said, “I want to become a regular on Radio.”
Hina : Ahhh, Tatsuyoshi… << I think he’s trying to wrap it up.
Okura : Yokoyama-kun at that time…
Hina : Uhn.
Okura : He said, “Dude, you know that’s impossible right?”
Yoko : Aahahahahahahahahhahah
Okura : It’s real…(he said that to me) on the other side.Okura : I was, so I think that now in secret…
Hina : Ahhh.
Yoko : Really…I was talking to Okura the other day…
Hina : Uhn.
Yoko : Takki and Tsubasa are doing 24hoursterebi right?
Hina : Yesyesyes.
Yoko : I went, “Wow, 24hoursterebi!” and what do you think Okura said? He said, “I can’t even do 5 minutes”
Yoko+Hina : Aahahahahahahahahhahahahaahah.
Hina : That’s a quote there!
Yoko : “Not even 5 minutes.”
Hina+Okura : Aahahahahahahahhahah
Yoko : “3 minutes is the limit,” ahahahahah.
Hina : I’d want to see that.
Okura : Because I’m told that I’m the second least funny/interesting one, I want to become the third this year.
Hina : Ah, bit by bit.
Yoko : I’d (We'd?) be anticipating that…Thanks, Okura.
Okura : Nono, I’m sorry.
Hina : It’s fine.
Yoko : We’ve really made you worry over this…
Okura : I’m gonna go out now, so…
Yoko : Hahaa
Hina : Take care, be careful.
Yoko : That comment now wasn’t that good Johnnys-wise.
Okura : Ah, haha, really? …well, I’m going to sleep!
Yoko+Hina : Aahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Hina : You were too slow!
Yoko : Goodnight then!
Okura : Goodnight!
Yoko+Hina : Byebyeee.
Okura : Byebyeee.
Ending talk = they play that Tegomass song in the background… I kinda like it, hahaha, (I blame LOVELYCOMPLEX…speaking of which, why not a Kanjani song? The author/artist is a big Kanjani/Subaru fan already…Otani=Subaru no? …but I digress).
- Because their van’s in for repairs (<**NOTE : On Recommen some time ago, Yoko ran down a list of Johnnys and asked Hina who he could smack on the head and when he got to NEWS, Hina said he could not only smack them but right out punch them…it’s become part of the Recommen “legend” like Hina+Maru’s 80 000 yen trip to Korea that comes up from time to time…**
- Yoko : YamaP has his drama, Koyama…
Hina : His play right?
Yoko : …is doing this play, Tegoshi-kun has “ItteQ,” Tegomass has a CD coming out.
Hina : They’re busy.
Yoko : I don’t know what Kato-kun is doing.Yoko : Kato-kun…his schoolwork is probably tiring.
Hina : Uhn. He’s busy…
Yoko : Who else is there? Massu…
Hina : Massu…
Yoko : And Do-kun. Nishikido!
Hina : Uhn.
Yoko : He’s busy too.
Hina : He is.
Yoko : I think he’s the busiest in Johnnys no? He’s working really hard…
Hina : Steadily/quietly.
I had a mini Nino marathon today... "Haikei" + "Blonde Sensei" (poor Taichi) + random "Magomago"s + his new solo song = Nino is a genius.
