[translation] Weekly TV Guide 2018.04.07 - Sakurai Sho & Matsumoto Jun (VS Arashi)
I'd definitely like Kinpuri to come for a VS Johnny's match!
-- In 2017, there were teams led by members like "Kizoku Tantei", "Shinobi no Kuni" and "Narratage" and also the competition with Hey! Say! JUMP.
Matsumoto: We did that Tarzan-like thing with JUMP, didn't we? Where you jump down from above.
Sakurai: If I remember correctly, didn't I fight with (Nakajima) Yuto over the 翔 character?
[TN: Sho (翔) and Yuto (裕翔) have the same character in their names.]
Matsumoto: (looking at the documents) You're right (lol). A competition over who is the real Sho [翔].
Sakurai: My name was on the verge of becoming "Sakurai Space" (lol). But that was last year? I feel like it was longer ago. But really, including the members and like Matsuoka (Masahiro)-kun and (Nakajima) Kento-kun, I have an impression of lots of Johnny's coming.
-- There are still some groups who haven't come, right? King & Prince are going to debut in May, too.
Sakurai: I want Kinpuri to come!
Matsumoto: They must be fresh... those guys (lol).
Sakurai: The other day, Hirano Sho-kun came on "~Yakai" and it was exceptionally good, so I'd definitely like them to come.
Matsumoto: When I appeared in the guest slot sort of thing at TeiGeki (Johnny's Allstars Island at Teikoku Gekijou/Imperial Theatre), I co-starred with them for a moment. I haven't really talked to them properly, though.
-- In the first "BET de Arashi" in 2 years, there was the paper plane competition, among other things.
Sakurai: I feel like that was quite a long time ago too. If I remember correctly, I'd finished filming the movie (Laplace no Majo) and in that there were a lot of scenes of folding paper planes so I said something weird like "I should be able to make it fly well," didn't I? In the end, I forgot how to fold it. And it was like "then why did you mention that story?" (lol).
-- Sakurai-san, you mentioned that Matsumoto-san who was folding it next to you was saying "it won't become a paper plane," didn't you?
Sakurai: Right, right. Like "what kind of competition is this?" (lol). That was funny...
Matsumoto: Fufu. Trying to make something like a paper plane (lol).
Sakurai: But still, it's impressive that you could suddenly fold it. You did well.
Matsumoto: No, before we started, I looked at a lot of ways to make flying paper planes online. I think Leader probably made a similar one, but I got confused in the middle, and it got all messed up. But in the end it flew well, didn't it? (lol)
-- In the sense of distance competition, Aiba-san plunged into the cream.
Sakurai: That was funny too, wasn't it? I was thinking Aiba-kun is amazing.
Matsumoto: He doesn't let you down (lol).
-- Aside from that, the special segment where you make a theme with clay became popular.
Sakurai: You know, if I say so myself, I was impressed by me getting Aiba-kun's "kiss" right. In that moment, I thought "ahh, we really have been together for a long time."
Matsumoto: We can recognise the things the members make, right? With my one too, the members just barely got it (lol).
Sakurai: I get that.
Matsumoto: I realised that after all, I've only understood objects on a level surface.
Sakurai: Right.
Matsumoto: If you're asking for a 3-dimensional style, that's a bit complicated.
Memories of Bomber Striker
Sakurai: It's always exciting, isn't it? I think it's a really well-made game. It has a bit of a different nuance to the bowling we normally do.
Matsumoto: Since this was made, we've completely stopped playing "Bank Bowling", right? In that sense, I guess it's like an evolved version.
-- Is being responsible for the last lane difficult, as you'd expect?
Sakurai: It's the same in "Kicking Sniper" and "Bomber Striker", but there's a possiblility that there will only be one left at the end, so aside from the pressure, it simply gets more difficult.
Matsumoto: That's true, isn't it? But I think that's part of what's interesting about it.
2008 ▶ 2018
Looking back on each other's 10 years
Sakurai: MatsuJun finishes things when he has to, like in "Cliff Climb". I feel like there were a lot of times where he arrived at the top and pressed the button right at the end.
Matsumoto: I think it's "Cliff Climb" for Sho-kun too, as expected. The new ways of using the elevator, you know? I can't quite imagine those, myself (lol).
Sakurai: I've started surpassing my own imagination too.
Matsumoto: Ahahaha (lol). It's like "so there's this kind of way of using the elevator too."
-- And how to use the pipe too...
Sakurai: I kind of left [a grip] there once, didn't I?
Matsumoto: An offering, right? (lol)
Sakurai: I made an offering once (lol).
