Masuda Takahisa no Master Hits
2008.10.03
1. Opening:
- Massu talks about what once happened to him during a photoshoot session. He said that he didn't eat before going to work, and his stomach felt really weird throughout the session. Then, because there was a 30~40min break, he ate instant noodle (the Maruchan "TU-YU" noodle* lol) plus a tendon (the bento he was given)... then he felt fine afterwards (lol). Only then did he realize that he was probably just hungry.
- He said that he met a fan once. She told him that she'll continue to support him and said, "Happy Xiaolongbao". Massu says that he didn't get it immediately (was being KY? lol), and only replied, "oh....." But, he thought about it afterwards and wondered why he had responded like that. So, he said that if that fan is listening now, he would like to tell her that he's sorry.
* hello-q: I usually call them the "TU-YU" noodles ^^; when officially they are "Akai Kitsune Instant Udon" & "Midori no Tanuki Instant Soba" ~~ but you guys know what I am talking about right? lol
2. Question: What does Massu do after taking a hot bath?
- He says that he doesn't usually take a hot bath, not even during winter. Also, he wouldn't set the water temperature too high; he sets it at about 39 degree Celsius.. 42 degrees would be too hot for him. When he does it, he'd usually want to take it slowly, like if there's a TV in the bathroom that would be nice. Afterwards, he usually drinks water or coke to get hydrated again.
3. This week's NEWS: the watch ^^
- Massu talks about the watch he got for his birthday, the one given by Master Hits staff-san. He says that he finally started using it two days ago. He had wanted to wake up at 11am that day, then it woke him up at 10:47am; but surprisingly, he woke up feeling full of energy (lol). Massu also thinks that the distance between the watch and him (i.e. from wrist to his ears) is great, because it's not very noisy. Didn't he say that he kind of disliked the gift when he got it? He says that he thinks it's surprisingly really good now. (lol) On that day, he actually woke up and fell asleep again, the watch sensed that so it woke him up again at 11am (lol). So, Massu thinks it's really excellent. He says that he uses it everyday now. He usually doesn't use alarm clocks because he prefers waking up naturally, but now he really likes using the watch, so he said thanks to the staff-san again.
* hello-q: I knew it was excellent , lol ~glad that you thanked staff-san again. XD
4. Letter: The listener says that on CDTV's live, we could see Massu's uchiwa on TV... Was Massu happy about that?
- Massu says that being able to see his uchiwas on a live program makes him really happy, even though he doesn't really search for them. He's happy to see them (lol).
5. Question: For the upcoming concerts, is Massu worried or does he feel pressured by anything?
- He says that it's been a year since their last concert tour, so all the members are working really hard. Speaking of emotions, Massu says that instead of nervous, he feels excited.
6. Question: The listener mentions Happy Birthday's PV; she says that the little props are really cute then asks Massu if anything interesting had happened on the set?
- Massu explains that the world within the PV was done using computer graphics. His prop was the cubed/box burger. Massu says that it is really cute (XDD). He really liked the parts where the tiny people were jumping around (lol).
7. Brain Master: The question is "weeeek" related, lol. Question: What day of the week is least shiny/bright?
- He guessed for a while, seems like he said Monday but didn't explain it quite right.
- The answer is Monday, because if you replace 曜日 with 星(star), most of the days of the week become names of planets.
月曜日(Monday) --> 月星(Moon Star?)
火曜日(Tuesday) --> 火星(Mars)
水曜日(Wednesday) --> 水星(Mercury)
木曜日(Thursday) --> 木星(Jupiter)
金曜日(Friday) --> 金星(Venus)
土曜日(Saturday) --> 土星(Saturn)
日曜日(Sunday) --> 日星 (Sun Star? **utako also wondered about this, we don't know if we should be counting this as the Sun.. not a planet, but I guess it still wins when compared to "moon star"? *shrugs*)
So, from this... Monday would be considered least shiny. XD
- Massu says that he's really sad that Pluto is not counted as a planet anymore. He said that he happened to remember about it recently.
- About the ribbon, Massu was initially thinking of giving one with length of 6cm because he couldn't answer it properly. But then, he thought, wait, not being able to answer means the listener is at a higher level, so he'll give one with 70cm (XD)
8. Question: Has Massu stocked up on Autumn/Winter fashion/clothing?
- Massu says that he actually bought them before summer. It's about time to wear them ne, the weather is getting cold. Massu says that he stocks them up really fast (lol).
9. Question: Does Massu get flustered right before the shows/concerts?
- Flustered? No, but he does get nervous. If he ever gets flustered, it's probably when he can't find his phone, but he'd usually find that he's been holding it in his hand all along (lol). Massu says that he doesn't get that feeling a lot.
10. Letter: The listener wrote that her son is selected for his class's relay team, but he is really worried. The listener wants Massu to give him some encouragement.
- Massu says that speaking of relays, he's the right person to ask (lol). He was almost always on the relay team back in elementary school. Massu wants to tell the listener's son that if he can do it, he should. If he's selected for the team, all he has to do is to give his best. It's a team effort, so Massu wants to say that he doesn't need to feel that he has to take full responsibility, just ganbatte and try! :)
enjoy~ ^^
