Recaps of Old Radio Shows Part 2

[swoon21]

So as promised here are more recaps of old radio appearances. This time I put more effort and made them more detailed. And needless to say I really appreciate feedback.

Comments

Thanks a lot again. I really enjoyed reading all of these, mainly the last one as it was the most interesting one. Also had to laugh reading Shou and Saga at NEC POWER COUNTDOWN and how Tora kind of reprimanding Saga to not talk about Pon as they were airing live.

So again thanks and lookinf forward to more if you have some *wink*

You're welcome!)
I will be doing more but these take a lot of time. It sure helps when people comment because having over 5.000 members and getting only a bunch of comments sometimes you can't help but wonder whether it's worth it.

[govi_chan]

Sure, sure take all the time you need. :)

And yeah I can imagine how discouraging it can be to get almost no feedback. But I think there is a bunch of people who enjoy reading these just don't comment.

I totally agree with you about Tora and leadership, he definitely is a natural leader (I'm just thinking of the infamous nico-nico cosplay/drunk saga episode when Hiroto was hosting. Anyone else noticed that the minute Tora showed up, he assumed leadership of the whole thing immediately? It was rather funny...) I was also surprised he declined to lead, but then again, another word that always comes up when he is being described is "modest". It only makes me love him even more ;) Besides, he probably gives Shou leadership advice at home...ahem...

Once again, thank you so much for your amazing, dedicated work, I personally really, really appreciate it and I'm sure I'm not the only one :D Thanks again xoxo

[swoon21]

I'm glad you agree. Except I don't think modesty was the reason Tora declined. He simply didn't want to. I was actually a little disappointed when he didn't step up as a leader because it just seemed so natural for him to do it. Shou once said that Tora is very reliable yet he doesn't want to be relied on. Even though he enjoys being bossy. It's quite a complex thing, really. But in the end it's just a title and he keeps supporting Shou a lot so in a way I see it as them sharing that position.

You're very welcome)
It's a lot of work so I really appreciate the feedback))

[aleksiina_26]

Oh I was just pointing out he is very modest as well. It probably wasn't the sole reason he declined, I agree, it probably has more to do with the bulk of shouldering responsibilities that maybe he didn't want to feel pressured about. And I think of Alice Nine as a well built engine that requires all of its parts to function, not necessarily in terms of a unit with a leader. They all do their parts and are equally important in my eyes, which is why I didn't feel like the whole "leader switcharoo" thing really affected me in the end. The important thing is that they are happy and producing quality music, as always :D

I can imagine its a lot of work to translate these, yikes! Which is why I'm all the more thankful ;) xoxo

Just to follow this up, I think Hiroto makes a really good host when Tora isn't around, though. He's very dynamic and adorable and really knows how to chat it up and use his charisma. :D I still don't think anyone can beat Tora at his game, though.

Oops, accidentally deleted comment, meant to edit:

Thanks so much! Saga is such a tease... stop playing with our hearts like that! Hahaha.

Also, I love drawings of Saga and Tora. They both have such a prominent nose! Haha. Tora has no right to tease Saga about his nose lolol

[eimininja]

I agree with you on the Tora as leader thing. Ever since I first got into Alice Nine I noticed the power and control Tora has in comments, radio shows and nico nico and... everything really, I've always thought that he would make an amazing leader. He is good at talking and explaining and promoting things and knows how to keep his band mates in order.
Thank you for these, it's nice to have info on these sorts of radio shows as it is something that no one else in the fandom seems to translate or give any basic information on. And the guys are so funny on these shows that it is too good to miss xD

[atmosphere_zero]

Hehe, loved the Saga and Shou one. They're such a funny pair, lol. The last one with all of them was hilarious, XD

Thank you so much for translating this! I meant to read the last translation you posted, but I've been a busy as of late so I haven't gotten the chance to read it, x_x But I definitely appreciate all of the hard work you put into translating. Keep it up!
