May 3rd, 2007's Recommen
This was great.
Opening Talk =
Yoko+Hina announce that their concert started off without a hitch.
In between the first and second show, they met and talked with reporters. Yoko+Hina are not really sure what TV stations are going to use (from what they talked about) tomorrow in their news reports.
Yoko Story Time = he said something he shouldn’t have to the reporters.
They were talking about love and how to confess to the girl you like (Hina : Ahhhh, that.). Okura answered something and Yoko went, “Ah, that’s the one you used with Kaori-chan right?” as a joke. Unexpectedly, Okura did not deny this and Subaru made it worse by going “Ahhh, you can’t say that!” and made it all seem real. Even the reporters were like “Is this alright?”
Yoko+Hina reassure people listening to the show that Okura does not have a girlfriend…
Yoko : He hasn’t for a long time.
Hina : There hasn’t been anyone for a long time.
Yoko was really surprised that Okura didn’t say anything then, Hina says it’s probably because Okura thought it’d be a bother (to try clearing things up).
Yoko concludes that he can’t fuck around with Tokyo reporters, and he understands that he overdoes it a lot in Osaka. Hina laughs. << Yoko was in a bit of a reflective mood.
More Yoko Story Time = of course, they’ll ask Ryo
During the meeting with the reporters, while Yoko was talking, and he talked a lot, reporters would keep trying to turn it to Ryo and ask, “What does Nishikido-san think about this?” Yoko was a bit miffed about this, but finally some reporter from somewhere “tried to be nice and asked me ‘What does Yokoyama-san think?” Guy laughs in the back.
They mention their new CD…
Yoko : The album will air the first time on June 6.
Hina : Uhn.
Yoko : Not on-air, released!
“Zukkoke Otoko Michi”
Recommen Girls’ Ranking = thing that surprised you the first time you ate it
# 5 - grasshoppers simmered in soy sauce
Yoko ate it for the first time in Tokyo. He likes it.
Hina wouldn’t eat it by choice, but he doesn’t hate it. Yoko brings up that it’s because Hina hates bugs.
# 4 - century egg
Yoko had it the first time recently in Osaka. He thought it was delicious.
Hina likes it too.
# 3 - natto
Hina starts off by saying how Yoko can’t eat natto but Yoko says that he’s eaten it many times for work and he hates it less than he used it. Not enough to start liking it but that “I’ll eat it if I’m told that I’d die if I don’t.”
Then he goes on this longass rant about how much he hates cucumbers, “If someone goes ‘I’d hit you if you don’t eat the cucumber,’ just hit me then.” Hina can’t believe he hates it that much. Yoko says that his class grew cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables in elementary school and recalled how happy everyone was, and how they were going to eat it and it will be extra delicious cause they grew it themselves…but Yoko wasn’t happy at all and thinks there’s nothing delicious about cucumbers and he thought his classmates were idiots. He’ll also leave cucumbers in his lunch during elementary school. He says again how much he hates cucumbers and that he’ll run to the bathroom to spit it out if ever gets in his mouth.
Yoko has no idea why he said all that but that he’s scary when he’s tired.
# 2 - abalone
Yoko doesn’t get its deliciousness when it’s raw, but likes it cooked with butter.
Hina…didn’t really say anything but brings up other seafood he likes (tsubukai shellfish).
# 1 - sea urchin
Yoko used to hate it, but now he likes it.
Hina says Yoko hates a lot of food. Yoko brings up how he used to hate onions too. Even the dried ones in cup noodles are no good, how though it takes only 3 minutes to cook, he’d spent 20 minutes picking out the onions. But he became able to eat it after Johnny-san made him some sort of dish and told me “YOU also eat this, because it’ll definitely be delicious” and he did and it was.
Back to sea urchin, it was Okura who got Yoko to start eating by recommending it to him [Yoko : That guy(=Okura) eats everything in a way that makes it look delicious].
Again, back to other food Yoko used to hate but like now. He used to not eat ginger but some time ago when he took his brother(s) to eat revolving sushi and saw him(them) eating it, he tried it and “my world opened up.”
Hina (always the good sum-er upper) says that’s why he (and we) should not be so picky about foods and try everything.
Next week’s ranking is “celebrities who don’t look their age.”
Yoko says how the other day while he was watching TV, Kokubun Taichi was on some show and they showed his age (33). Yoko+Hina both think that he doesn’t look 33 at all, not even 30. Everyone in TOKIO too don’t look their age… but.
Yoko : I think Leader matches his age.
Hina : Maaa, only Leader.
Main Project! = Recommen! Healing!
To celebrate the start of their tour, and also because they’re both dead tired tonight, they’re going to have listeners call in to “heal” them.
First Caller = girl who heals them with her cute voice
Yoko says her voice reminds me of a celebrity, he thinks about it for awhile and says it’s Matsumoto Erika, the girl who’s been in SHOCK with Domoto Koichi. Yoko’s worked with her once too (in Lonely My Room), and says the caller’s way of talking is very similar to hers. Hina asks him does mean Erika or Marika.
[NOTE = when Yoko found out he was doing Lonely My Room, he went and looked up his co-stars on the internet through his cellphone. The girl’s name is Matsumoto Marika but because Yoko is stupid, he only remembered the Matsumoto part and looked up Matsumoto Erika, who turned out to be this pin-up girl with huge boobs. Yoko freaked out and got all excited and nervous to work with her but realized he got the name wrong at their first drama meeting. He told this story once on Recommen and then he and Hina looked up the girl during the show and freaked out over her boobs live on air << hahahahahahahaha. Anyway, Yoko always manages to get their names mixed up and Hina has to remind him who is who.]
Yoko asks says he means Erika, and asks that Marika’s the one with the huge boobs. Hina tells him he’s got it reverse.
Yoko : No way, ahahaha.
Back to girl with the cute voice.
She tells them (in her cute voice) that they’ve worked hard today, and to also work hard tomorrow.
Hina asks if there’s more.
She asks if there’s anything they want her to say…
Yoko : I’m really sleepy right now.
Hina : Hahaah, well then.
Yoko : Say “should I let you sleep on my lap?”
Caller : “Should I let you sleep on my lap?”
Yoko : Haha, ooohhhh, that’s nice. Is there anything Hina wants her to say?
Hina : Say “Yokoyama-kun, please wake up.”
Caller : Ahahaha, Yokoyama-kun, please wake up?
Yoko (sleepily) : Just (let me sleep) a little bit more (longer).
All : Aahahahah.
Hina : The 5 minute pattern!
Yoko : Let Hina heal a bit too, (to Hina) You also get her to heal you.
Hina : Hmmm, it is okay if it’s ordinary?
Yoko : It’s fine.
Hina : Say “bath (or) dinner?”
Yoko : You don’t need the “or (me)”? << Dude! She’s young!
Hina : That…I’d want that later…
Yoko : That area’s more playing it by the ear.
Caller : So with “or (me)”?
Yoko : Ahhh (I’ve made) the mood is like this already…
Caller : Ahahhahaha…Bath? Dinner? Or me?
Hina : Ohhhhoohhhhhhohhhh.
Yoko : That’s nice.
Hina : What are you saying?!
All : Ahahahahah.
Hina : What are you saying at half past 10?!
Yoko : Ah, it’s still pretty early.
Hina : I didn’t need to hear this, definitely.
Yoko+Hina say she’s healed them.
Yoko has one more (weirdass) request…
Yoko : Can you breathe into the phone?
Caller : Eh?
Yoko+Hina : Like “fffuuuuu”
Caller : (she does it…but you know with phones, when you blow into the receiver it goes all PDFPPFASD like bad reception)
Yoko+Hina : Ahhh, this doesn’t really work.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahahaha.
Second Caller = kindergarten teacher >> I loved this bit
Yoko+Hina call her -chan first, then -san when they find out she’s older than them, then -sensei when they find out she’s a kindergarten teacher.
She’s didn’t come to the concert today because it was her cousin’s wedding but she’s going tomorrow, though she may be a bit late because of work. Yoko makes a joke how because she’s the teacher, she won’t get reprimanded if she’s late. She explains that she meant late to the concert. Yoko says (very cutely) that he got that (and was just making a joke), Hina adds that Yoko’s not thaaat stupid.
She’s going to heal them by talking to them like her kindergarteners…
Caller : Shingo-kun, did you talk very well today?
Hina : Uhn, probably decent I think.
Caller : (giggles) Shingo-kun is always listening to others verrrrrrrrry well right?
Yoko : Aahahah.
Hina : (muffled laugh) Uhn, I’m always listening properly.
Caller : You’re the very smartie-san who’s always looking at people’s eye-ies perfectlyyyy and and listening to their talk. [NOTE : I tried to make…blah, anyway, she talks to him using cutesy kiddy words]
Hina : Haha, Thank you teacher! I’m happy!
Caller : Yuu-kun!
Yoko (totally gets into kid character) : Yeeeeeeeeeeessss!
Caller : Are you already sleepy?
Yoko : I’m sleepy!
Caller : Did you worked hard at the concert?
Yoko : I worked hard but I want boobs as my reward.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahahahaha.
Caller : You can’t say boob, (trying not to laugh) it’s embarrassing you know?
Yoko : But it’s because I like boobs!
Caller : When you get home I’ll give you lots so wait.
Hina (talking while laughing) : What are you saying?
Caller : Aahahahahahahahahah.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahah.
Hina : What are you saying?
Caller : Ahahaha, but, ahahahahah, Yokoyama-kun, ahahah.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahah.
Hina : It’ll be frightening if you said this to a kindergartener!
Caller explains how boobs are totally normal in her job, as in kids would touch while they’re crying and they say the word all the time. At first she was surprised though, but they’re kids.
Yoko tells the caller to write something on her uchiwa to let them know it’s her tomorrow at the concert and he’d look for her.
Yoko : Sucks but we’ve made a promise, how it’s fine if I came to touch your boobs.
Caller : Aahahahahah.
Hina : What the fuck.
Yoko : No, but…she said “when I get home”…it can’t be helped.
Hina : Why did you make this rule yourself?
Yoko : The worst, I think I’ll go touch her boobs in the middle of the concert.
Hina : That’s really the worst.
Yoko : My tension will get high (from the concert) and I’ll go touch.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahaha.
Caller : Ahahaa, I’ll be waiting.
Hina : By the way, who are you a fan of in Kanjani?
Caller : Murakami-kun.
Hina : Then I can go touch right?
Yoko : That’s different.
Caller : I’ll be waiting, ahahah.
Yoko : No, you can go after me.
Hina+Caller : Aahahahahahah.
Yoko : You don’t know right now but…
Hina : Uhn…Why is it like you have it reserved?!
Yoko : I’ve already…if I touch. I’ve been told I got [In English] God Hand[/].
Guy : Aahaahahahahahahahahahahah.
Hina : Who told you that! Where did you get that from?!
Caller : Hahahahaha.
Yoko : Oh shit, it’s dangerous when I’m tired.
Hina : Really, isn’t this before-sleep-talk?!
Yoko : This is dangerous, this is dangerous. It’s not even 11 yet.
Hina (to caller) : Well, wait for tomorrow and let’s have fun together.
Caller : Yes. (Back to teacher mode) Well, is it okay for teacher to come hear your songs and see the dances that you two have worked so hard on?
Hina : No, this is enough…ahahahahaha, I’ve had enough.
Yoko (totally in kid mode) : For sure!
Hina : It’s good enough for me.
Yoko : For suurrrreeeee!
After she hangs up…
Yoko : I pray no one magnificent(=the Johnnys people) is listening.
Hina : It should be fine today, everyone’s gone home and sleep.
Yoko : This is dangerous, it’s the night of Yokohama Arena.
Hina : Ahhhhhh, they may be listening on the way home in the car.
Yoko : Right, this is dangerous…I’m gonna get yelled at tomorrow.
Third Caller = does a killer impression of a crow << This was hilarious.
Hina : How are you going to heal us?
Caller : I can do an imitation of a crow
Yoko : Why?
Caller : Ahaha, I can do like an imitation of their call.
Yoko : Can I say one thing before this? A crow itself is not that healing.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Hina : MaaMaaaMaaaaMaaa, I understand, I understand.
Yoko : No matter how real it sounds…
Hina : Everyone in the city knows already…
Yoko : I’d still understand if it’s something like a badger but a crow…
Hina : Ahh, I don’t know if ____-chan’s is a healing voice.
Yoko : Rather, don’t the people in Tokyo hate them?
Hina : MaaaMaaa, your imitation of a crow, please. << I love Hina.
Caller : (does it, it really sounds like one…if I must put it into letters…it’ll be something like a high-pitched GRRLLGRRLLL)
…3 second of dead silence…
Yoko+Hina : _____-chan, _____-chan.
Caller : Yes?
Yoko : What are you gonna do?
Caller : ….this is dangerous.
Hina : (laughs and claps his hands)
Yoko : _____-chan.
Caller : I’ve ruined the atmosphere.
Yoko : _____-chan, what are you doing to do?
Caller : This is dangerous.
Yoko : Why did you think to do this?
Caller : Eh?
Yoko : _____-chan, do it again, once more. Do it once more, who knows what will happen.
Caller : (crow impersonation)
Hina : …have you been always doing this?
Caller : Yes.
Hina : Like in front of your friends and such?
Caller : Yes.
Hina : Really? What do they say?
Caller : “It resembles a crow”
Hina : Aahahahahahahahahaahahah.
Caller : Occasionally, a crow will respond to me.
Yoko : What?
Caller : They’d go “ca” [**NOTE : animal sound = like “won” to a dog, “ca” to a crow]
Yoko : Ahhhh, that story healed me a bit.
Caller : Aahahah.
Hina : Uhn, but that “ca” you did was a normal “ca”
Yoko : Your friends say you sound like a crow, but they don’t say you’ve healed them right?
Caller : Yes.
Yoko : Uhn, but this was good!
Hina : It was. You came to our concert today right…
Caller : Yes, I went today.
Hina : Ahh, thank you. Did you have fun?
Caller : It was super fun!
Hina : Ahhh, that’s good. That’s more healing than anything.
Yoko (to Hina) : You…just brought things to a skillful conclusion now.
Hina : Ahahahah.
Yoko (to caller) : If you’re forced to say, who sparkled the most today?
Caller : Yokoyama-kun.
Yoko : Ahhh, it’s like that… “ca ca”
Hina : That sucked, you probably haven’t done it before.
Yoko : I’m sorry ____-chan, I worked hard to do it but it was no good.
Hina : Aahahahha.
Caller : It’s totally fine.
Yoko : Is it? Thank you.
Johnnys’ Station =
1) Arashi’s Tokyo Dome Concert
Yoko didn’t go to their concert, but he did go eat with Nino afterwards, Hina asks if it was 横山会[=Yokoyama club], but it was with the “Haikei” people. Takahashi Katsumi-san and Kishimoto Kayoko-san were there, they played the husband-and-wife in “Haikei.” Yoko freaked out cause Ootake Shinobu-san was there too (she worked with Nino in “Yasashii Jikan”) and she told him that she wants to go see a Eito concert at the Tokyo Dome, and that she knows “Zukkoke.” Yoko says that Nino wants to go too, Hina asks if Nino said that because of the moment (everyone’s tension was really high). Yoko doesn’t know, but asks Hina “won’t it be surprising to have people like that at the Arena.” Hina agrees. Someone told him too, about going to the Dome. It was Hikomaru-san, the food critic that was on Janiben.
2) Tegomass single release
3) Biggest News = New CD
This is the first time they’ve heard some stuff from the CD :
Yoko+Hina have no idea who came up with the title “Gachinko Session Itsuka Mata”
Yoko+Hina don’t’ know how to pronounce Subaru’s solo song name.
Yoko and his weak katakana skills can’t get through Maru’s solo song name, Hina reads it for him, then Yoko says about the song : What the hell is this?
Yoko forgets to read out Ryo’s solo song name, Hina covers for him.
Yes! No! Dictionary = skipppppppped.
Back to Main Project = Recommen Healing!
Ktaro arrives and says he can’t lose to the callers in healing Yoko+Hina he comes bringing :
1) Hot and cold wet towels
Yoko : What are you doing?
Hina : I don’t understand.
Ktaro : …I’m healing.
Yoko : I’m becoming rapidly irritated.
Guy : Ahaahahahah.
2) picture of Kaito Aiko << Remember? The weather girl for Mezamashi who Yoko thinks is cute?
Ktaro : This is the smile that heals thousands and thousands of people in the morning.
Yoko : This is good! She’s cute.
All : Ahahaahhaa.
Hina : She’s a beautiful person.
3) some fancy expensive mineral water from France
Yoko : It’s not really that delicious.
Hina : It’s water.
4) those…relaxing soundtracks with nature sounds.
Ktaro plays the beach one with wave sounds.
They both like it and ask him for the CD.
Taichi’s Request (it was stupid) + Vocabulary Book (I didn’t get it) = skippeddddddd
They read some mail =
Yoko mentions that Yasu was listening to the show and heard the boobs part and laughed a lot.
Someone mailed them to say that the evening news used the Ryo parts from their press conference earlier that day, moreover, it was the part where he messed up his words too.
Yoko says he’s so tired he doesn’t even remember Ryo messed up talking.
12 o’clock Opening Talk=
Yoko : Hi, this is KanjaniEito’s Yokoyama Yuu.
Hina : Konbanwantsu, it’s Murakami Shingo.
Yoko : …don’t we always say “KanjaniEito”?
Hina : Isn’t it Konbanwantsu what we always say?
Yoko : Ahhh! Konbanwantsu! I knew something was weird and wrong. << He’s tired.
Talk about the new CD and go through everyone’s solo songs again and the different versions and blahblahblah.
Yoko : Just buy it already. << So very tired.
All : Aahahahahahahahahah.
More Mail =
Some reminds them that MA’s going to be on Gokigenyou the next day. Yoko’s gonna set his hard disk to record it cause he’s never seen them all on one show before. Hina brings up how Yaracchi sent him a mail telling him to work hard. He couldn’t make it to Yokohama Arena because of his play.
Back to Main Project = Recommen Healing!
Fourth Caller = heals them through a kiss.
Um, she just makes kissing sounds.
Fifth Caller = it’s a guy!!!
He’s 13 years old and went to the first show with his mom.
Yoko : Why are you interested in Kanjani?
Caller : From watching (Kanjani on) TV, you guys were really cool [Hina laughs], I went to a concert last year and it was very cool and I came to like…
Hina (in disbelief): You saw us on TV and thought we were cool?!
Guy : Aahahahahahaha.
Caller : Yes.
Yoko : You should join Johnnys!
Caller : I admire them.
Yoko : Who do you admire?
Caller : Murakami-kun.
Yoko : …everyone’s choosing you.
Caller : His smile is really good, and his dance at the concert today was cool.
Hina : Ahahaha, thank you.
Yoko : Smile and dance…
Hina : Aahahaha, how idol! Dance, that was from Yaracchi. By the way, your mother is a fan of who?
Caller : Ah, she likes Okura-kun.
Yoko+Hina : Ohhhhh.
He wrote them a letter to express his gratitude about the concert to heal them.
“Today’s KanjaniEito’s concert, even me who’s a guy got all fired up and thought it was terrific. KanjaniEito’s the strongest and the best. Thank you very much for today.”
Yoko+Hina are very happy.
He’s going to their concert in Tokyo Dome. Hina tells him to listen to their CD and Yoko goes “Everybody scream!”
But there’s still one thing on Yoko’s mind…
Yoko : On the contrary, what’s no good about me?
Caller : …ma…the MC was a bit, the talk how you didn’t get invited to dinner…
Hina : Aahahahah.
Caller : …was a bit too real.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahaha.
[**NOTE : LOOSELY, THE MC STORY WENT LIKE THIS : they were all in the van, this was the day before the concert, and Maru and Hina already made plans to go eat together. Yasu and Maru were sitting together and Maru asks Yasu to come too and checks with Hina, who say it’s fine. So Yoko thinks the next person they would ask is him, but then Yasu looks over Yoko to ask Subaru, who declines because he never goes out to eat the day before a concert to protect his throat. So Yoko was a bit shocked that Subaru would get invited before he does. But when Yasu does invite Yoko, he says no because he was sulking. But then he regrets it and doesn’t know what to do so when he gets out of the van, he moves really slowly and kinda stands by the door a bit, hoping that they’ll invite him again. After Yoko told the story, they all remembered how weird he was getting off the van and laugh at him.]
Yoko basically tells the caller that’s how they always are.
Sixth Caller = her grandmother likes Kanjani too!!!
She went to the concert today with her 70 year old grandmother.
Yoko+Hina are wowed.
Yoko asks who she likes, she answers Maru-chan. Yoko says that if she had answer Hina, he would totally suspect Hina of setting up the callers, cause most of them were Hina fans. Her grandmother is a Yasu fan.
She wants to heal them with her grandmother’s wisdom and passes the phone to her…
I didn’t get some of it (the grandmother speaks pretty fast) but the gist was =
Hina apologizes for it being so late in the night, Yoko for Yasu no being here. She says that she doesn’t just like Yasu but all of them and explains that through her granddaughter she came to know about Kanjani and before she knew it, she was a fan. Yoko asks what she felt about their concert, she said she felt young again. They’re very happy. She says that it maybe embarrassing having someone old there, Yoko+Hina reply that’s totally alright and that they like grandmothers.
Her wisdom is…when you’re tired, lie on your side and listen to your favourite song, you’ll feel refreshed after it’s over.
Hina asks her what her favourite song is, she says it used to be…something but now it’s Eito. And she watches their DVDs too. Yoko says that she’s probably the most talkative grandmother in the world who can still talk so much this late at night. Yoko+Hina thank her and she switches back to her granddaughter.
Yoko+Hina thank the granddaughter.
“Arigato” << Aw, how appropriate.
I think this is my favourite show of 2007 yet.
Opening Talk =
Yoko+Hina announce that their concert started off without a hitch.
In between the first and second show, they met and talked with reporters. Yoko+Hina are not really sure what TV stations are going to use (from what they talked about) tomorrow in their news reports.
Yoko Story Time = he said something he shouldn’t have to the reporters.
They were talking about love and how to confess to the girl you like (Hina : Ahhhh, that.). Okura answered something and Yoko went, “Ah, that’s the one you used with Kaori-chan right?” as a joke. Unexpectedly, Okura did not deny this and Subaru made it worse by going “Ahhh, you can’t say that!” and made it all seem real. Even the reporters were like “Is this alright?”
Yoko+Hina reassure people listening to the show that Okura does not have a girlfriend…
Yoko : He hasn’t for a long time.
Hina : There hasn’t been anyone for a long time.
Yoko was really surprised that Okura didn’t say anything then, Hina says it’s probably because Okura thought it’d be a bother (to try clearing things up).
Yoko concludes that he can’t fuck around with Tokyo reporters, and he understands that he overdoes it a lot in Osaka. Hina laughs. << Yoko was in a bit of a reflective mood.
More Yoko Story Time = of course, they’ll ask Ryo
During the meeting with the reporters, while Yoko was talking, and he talked a lot, reporters would keep trying to turn it to Ryo and ask, “What does Nishikido-san think about this?” Yoko was a bit miffed about this, but finally some reporter from somewhere “tried to be nice and asked me ‘What does Yokoyama-san think?” Guy laughs in the back.
They mention their new CD…
Yoko : The album will air the first time on June 6.
Hina : Uhn.
Yoko : Not on-air, released!

Yoko : I think Leader matches his age.
Hina : Maaa, only Leader.
Main Project! = Recommen! Healing!
To celebrate the start of their tour, and also because they’re both dead tired tonight, they’re going to have listeners call in to “heal” them.
First Caller = girl who heals them with her cute voice
Yoko says her voice reminds me of a celebrity, he thinks about it for awhile and says it’s Matsumoto Erika, the girl who’s been in SHOCK with Domoto Koichi. Yoko’s worked with her once too (in Lonely My Room), and says the caller’s way of talking is very similar to hers. Hina asks him does mean Erika or Marika.
[NOTE = when Yoko found out he was doing Lonely My Room, he went and looked up his co-stars on the internet through his cellphone.

Anyway, Yoko always manages to get their names mixed up and Hina has to remind him who is who.]
Yoko asks says he means Erika, and asks that Marika’s the one with the huge boobs. Hina tells him he’s got it reverse.
Yoko : No way, ahahaha.
Back to girl with the cute voice.
She tells them (in her cute voice) that they’ve worked hard today, and to also work hard tomorrow.
Hina asks if there’s more.
She asks if there’s anything they want her to say…
Yoko : I’m really sleepy right now.
Hina : Hahaah, well then.
Yoko : Say “should I let you sleep on my lap?”
Caller : “Should I let you sleep on my lap?”
Yoko : Haha, ooohhhh, that’s nice. Is there anything Hina wants her to say?
Hina : Say “Yokoyama-kun, please wake up.”
Caller : Ahahaha, Yokoyama-kun, please wake up?
Yoko (sleepily) : Just (let me sleep) a little bit more (longer).
All : Aahahahah.
Hina : The 5 minute pattern!
Yoko : Let Hina heal a bit too, (to Hina) You also get her to heal you.
Hina : Hmmm, it is okay if it’s ordinary?
Yoko : It’s fine.
Hina : Say “bath (or) dinner?”
Yoko : You don’t need the “or (me)”? << Dude! She’s young!
Hina : That…I’d want that later…
Yoko : That area’s more playing it by the ear.
Caller : So with “or (me)”?
Yoko : Ahhh (I’ve made) the mood is like this already…
Caller : Ahahhahaha…Bath? Dinner? Or me?
Hina : Ohhhhoohhhhhhohhhh.
Yoko : That’s nice.
Hina : What are you saying?!
All : Ahahahahah.
Hina : What are you saying at half past 10?!
Yoko : Ah, it’s still pretty early.
Hina : I didn’t need to hear this, definitely.
Yoko+Hina say she’s healed them.
Yoko has one more (weirdass) request…
Yoko : Can you breathe into the phone?
Caller : Eh?
Yoko+Hina : Like “fffuuuuu”
Caller : (she does it…but you know with phones, when you blow into the receiver it goes all PDFPPFASD like bad reception)
Yoko+Hina : Ahhh, this doesn’t really work.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahahaha.
Second Caller = kindergarten teacher >> I loved this bit
Yoko+Hina call her -chan first, then -san when they find out she’s older than them, then -sensei when they find out she’s a kindergarten teacher.
She’s didn’t come to the concert today because it was her cousin’s wedding but she’s going tomorrow, though she may be a bit late because of work. Yoko makes a joke how because she’s the teacher, she won’t get reprimanded if she’s late. She explains that she meant late to the concert. Yoko says (very cutely) that he got that (and was just making a joke), Hina adds that Yoko’s not thaaat stupid.
She’s going to heal them by talking to them like her kindergarteners…
Caller : Shingo-kun, did you talk very well today?
Hina : Uhn, probably decent I think.
Caller : (giggles) Shingo-kun is always listening to others verrrrrrrrry well right?
Yoko : Aahahah.
Hina : (muffled laugh) Uhn, I’m always listening properly.
Caller : You’re the very smartie-san who’s always looking at people’s eye-ies perfectlyyyy and and listening to their talk. [NOTE : I tried to make…blah, anyway, she talks to him using cutesy kiddy words]
Hina : Haha, Thank you teacher! I’m happy!
Caller : Yuu-kun!
Yoko (totally gets into kid character) : Yeeeeeeeeeeessss!
Caller : Are you already sleepy?
Yoko : I’m sleepy!
Caller : Did you worked hard at the concert?
Yoko : I worked hard but I want boobs as my reward.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahahahaha.
Caller : You can’t say boob, (trying not to laugh) it’s embarrassing you know?
Yoko : But it’s because I like boobs!
Caller : When you get home I’ll give you lots so wait.
Hina (talking while laughing) : What are you saying?
Caller : Aahahahahahahahahah.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahah.
Hina : What are you saying?
Caller : Ahahaha, but, ahahahahah, Yokoyama-kun, ahahah.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahah.
Hina : It’ll be frightening if you said this to a kindergartener!
Caller explains how boobs are totally normal in her job, as in kids would touch while they’re crying and they say the word all the time. At first she was surprised though, but they’re kids.
Yoko tells the caller to write something on her uchiwa to let them know it’s her tomorrow at the concert and he’d look for her.
Yoko : Sucks but we’ve made a promise, how it’s fine if I came to touch your boobs.
Caller : Aahahahahah.
Hina : What the fuck.
Yoko : No, but…she said “when I get home”…it can’t be helped.
Hina : Why did you make this rule yourself?
Yoko : The worst, I think I’ll go touch her boobs in the middle of the concert.
Hina : That’s really the worst.
Yoko : My tension will get high (from the concert) and I’ll go touch.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahaha.
Caller : Ahahaa, I’ll be waiting.
Hina : By the way, who are you a fan of in Kanjani?
Caller : Murakami-kun.
Hina : Then I can go touch right?
Yoko : That’s different.
Caller : I’ll be waiting, ahahah.
Yoko : No, you can go after me.
Hina+Caller : Aahahahahahah.
Yoko : You don’t know right now but…
Hina : Uhn…Why is it like you have it reserved?!
Yoko : I’ve already…if I touch. I’ve been told I got [In English] God Hand[/].
Guy : Aahaahahahahahahahahahahah.
Hina : Who told you that! Where did you get that from?!
Caller : Hahahahaha.
Yoko : Oh shit, it’s dangerous when I’m tired.
Hina : Really, isn’t this before-sleep-talk?!
Yoko : This is dangerous, this is dangerous. It’s not even 11 yet.
Hina (to caller) : Well, wait for tomorrow and let’s have fun together.
Caller : Yes. (Back to teacher mode) Well, is it okay for teacher to come hear your songs and see the dances that you two have worked so hard on?
Hina : No, this is enough…ahahahahaha, I’ve had enough.
Yoko (totally in kid mode) : For sure!
Hina : It’s good enough for me.
Yoko : For suurrrreeeee!
After she hangs up…
Yoko : I pray no one magnificent(=the Johnnys people) is listening.
Hina : It should be fine today, everyone’s gone home and sleep.
Yoko : This is dangerous, it’s the night of Yokohama Arena.
Hina : Ahhhhhh, they may be listening on the way home in the car.
Yoko : Right, this is dangerous…I’m gonna get yelled at tomorrow.
Third Caller = does a killer impression of a crow << This was hilarious.
Hina : How are you going to heal us?
Caller : I can do an imitation of a crow
Yoko : Why?
Caller : Ahaha, I can do like an imitation of their call.
Yoko : Can I say one thing before this? A crow itself is not that healing.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Hina : MaaMaaaMaaaaMaaa, I understand, I understand.
Yoko : No matter how real it sounds…
Hina : Everyone in the city knows already…
Yoko : I’d still understand if it’s something like a badger but a crow…
Hina : Ahh, I don’t know if ____-chan’s is a healing voice.
Yoko : Rather, don’t the people in Tokyo hate them?
Hina : MaaaMaaa, your imitation of a crow, please. << I love Hina.
Caller : (does it, it really sounds like one…if I must put it into letters…it’ll be something like a high-pitched GRRLLGRRLLL)
…3 second of dead silence…
Yoko+Hina : _____-chan, _____-chan.
Caller : Yes?
Yoko : What are you gonna do?
Caller : ….this is dangerous.
Hina : (laughs and claps his hands)
Yoko : _____-chan.
Caller : I’ve ruined the atmosphere.
Yoko : _____-chan, what are you doing to do?
Caller : This is dangerous.
Yoko : Why did you think to do this?
Caller : Eh?
Yoko : _____-chan, do it again, once more. Do it once more, who knows what will happen.
Caller : (crow impersonation)
Hina : …have you been always doing this?
Caller : Yes.
Hina : Like in front of your friends and such?
Caller : Yes.
Hina : Really? What do they say?
Caller : “It resembles a crow”
Hina : Aahahahahahahahahaahahah.
Caller : Occasionally, a crow will respond to me.
Yoko : What?
Caller : They’d go “ca” [**NOTE : animal sound = like “won” to a dog, “ca” to a crow]
Yoko : Ahhhh, that story healed me a bit.
Caller : Aahahah.
Hina : Uhn, but that “ca” you did was a normal “ca”
Yoko : Your friends say you sound like a crow, but they don’t say you’ve healed them right?
Caller : Yes.
Yoko : Uhn, but this was good!
Hina : It was. You came to our concert today right…
Caller : Yes, I went today.
Hina : Ahh, thank you. Did you have fun?
Caller : It was super fun!
Hina : Ahhh, that’s good. That’s more healing than anything.
Yoko (to Hina) : You…just brought things to a skillful conclusion now.
Hina : Ahahahah.
Yoko (to caller) : If you’re forced to say, who sparkled the most today?
Caller : Yokoyama-kun.
Yoko : Ahhh, it’s like that… “ca ca”
Hina : That sucked, you probably haven’t done it before.
Yoko : I’m sorry ____-chan, I worked hard to do it but it was no good.
Hina : Aahahahha.
Caller : It’s totally fine.
Yoko : Is it? Thank you.
Johnnys’ Station =
1) Arashi’s Tokyo Dome Concert
Yoko didn’t go to their concert, but he did go eat with Nino afterwards, Hina asks if it was 横山会[=Yokoyama club], but it was with the “Haikei” people. Takahashi Katsumi-san and Kishimoto Kayoko-san were there, they played the husband-and-wife in “Haikei.” Yoko freaked out cause Ootake Shinobu-san was there too (she worked with Nino in “Yasashii Jikan”) and she told him that she wants to go see a Eito concert at the Tokyo Dome, and that she knows “Zukkoke.” Yoko says that Nino wants to go too, Hina asks if Nino said that because of the moment (everyone’s tension was really high). Yoko doesn’t know, but asks Hina “won’t it be surprising to have people like that at the Arena.” Hina agrees. Someone told him too, about going to the Dome. It was Hikomaru-san, the food critic that was on Janiben.
2) Tegomass single release
3) Biggest News = New CD
This is the first time they’ve heard some stuff from the CD :
Yoko+Hina have no idea who came up with the title “Gachinko Session Itsuka Mata”
Yoko+Hina don’t’ know how to pronounce Subaru’s solo song name.
Yoko and his weak katakana skills can’t get through Maru’s solo song name, Hina reads it for him, then Yoko says about the song : What the hell is this?
Yoko forgets to read out Ryo’s solo song name, Hina covers for him.
Yes! No! Dictionary = skipppppppped.
Back to Main Project = Recommen Healing!
Ktaro arrives and says he can’t lose to the callers in healing Yoko+Hina he comes bringing :
1) Hot and cold wet towels
Yoko : What are you doing?
Hina : I don’t understand.
Ktaro : …I’m healing.
Yoko : I’m becoming rapidly irritated.
Guy : Ahaahahahah.
2) picture of Kaito Aiko << Remember? The weather girl for Mezamashi who Yoko thinks is cute?
Ktaro : This is the smile that heals thousands and thousands of people in the morning.
Yoko : This is good! She’s cute.
All : Ahahaahhaa.
Hina : She’s a beautiful person.
3) some fancy expensive mineral water from France
Yoko : It’s not really that delicious.
Hina : It’s water.
4) those…relaxing soundtracks with nature sounds.
Ktaro plays the beach one with wave sounds.
They both like it and ask him for the CD.
Taichi’s Request (it was stupid) + Vocabulary Book (I didn’t get it) = skippeddddddd
They read some mail =
Yoko mentions that Yasu was listening to the show and heard the boobs part and laughed a lot.
Someone mailed them to say that the evening news used the Ryo parts from their press conference earlier that day, moreover, it was the part where he messed up his words too.
Yoko says he’s so tired he doesn’t even remember Ryo messed up talking.
12 o’clock Opening Talk=
Yoko : Hi, this is KanjaniEito’s Yokoyama Yuu.
Hina : Konbanwantsu, it’s Murakami Shingo.
Yoko : …don’t we always say “KanjaniEito”?
Hina : Isn’t it Konbanwantsu what we always say?
Yoko : Ahhh! Konbanwantsu! I knew something was weird and wrong. << He’s tired.
Talk about the new CD and go through everyone’s solo songs again and the different versions and blahblahblah.
Yoko : Just buy it already. << So very tired.
All : Aahahahahahahahahah.
More Mail =
Some reminds them that MA’s going to be on Gokigenyou the next day. Yoko’s gonna set his hard disk to record it cause he’s never seen them all on one show before. Hina brings up how Yaracchi sent him a mail telling him to work hard. He couldn’t make it to Yokohama Arena because of his play.
Back to Main Project = Recommen Healing!
Fourth Caller = heals them through a kiss.
Um, she just makes kissing sounds.
Fifth Caller = it’s a guy!!!
He’s 13 years old and went to the first show with his mom.
Yoko : Why are you interested in Kanjani?
Caller : From watching (Kanjani on) TV, you guys were really cool [Hina laughs], I went to a concert last year and it was very cool and I came to like…
Hina (in disbelief): You saw us on TV and thought we were cool?!
Guy : Aahahahahahaha.
Caller : Yes.
Yoko : You should join Johnnys!
Caller : I admire them.
Yoko : Who do you admire?
Caller : Murakami-kun.
Yoko : …everyone’s choosing you.
Caller : His smile is really good, and his dance at the concert today was cool.
Hina : Ahahaha, thank you.
Yoko : Smile and dance…
Hina : Aahahaha, how idol! Dance, that was from Yaracchi. By the way, your mother is a fan of who?
Caller : Ah, she likes Okura-kun.
Yoko+Hina : Ohhhhh.
He wrote them a letter to express his gratitude about the concert to heal them.
“Today’s KanjaniEito’s concert, even me who’s a guy got all fired up and thought it was terrific. KanjaniEito’s the strongest and the best. Thank you very much for today.”
Yoko+Hina are very happy.
He’s going to their concert in Tokyo Dome. Hina tells him to listen to their CD and Yoko goes “Everybody scream!”
But there’s still one thing on Yoko’s mind…
Yoko : On the contrary, what’s no good about me?
Caller : …ma…the MC was a bit, the talk how you didn’t get invited to dinner…
Hina : Aahahahah.
Caller : …was a bit too real.
Guy : Aahahahahahahahaha.
[**NOTE : LOOSELY, THE MC STORY WENT LIKE THIS : they were all in the van, this was the day before the concert, and Maru and Hina already made plans to go eat together. Yasu and Maru were sitting together and Maru asks Yasu to come too and checks with Hina, who say it’s fine. So Yoko thinks the next person they would ask is him, but then Yasu looks over Yoko to ask Subaru, who declines because he never goes out to eat the day before a concert to protect his throat. So Yoko was a bit shocked that Subaru would get invited before he does. But when Yasu does invite Yoko, he says no because he was sulking. But then he regrets it and doesn’t know what to do so when he gets out of the van, he moves really slowly and kinda stands by the door a bit, hoping that they’ll invite him again. After Yoko told the story, they all remembered how weird he was getting off the van and laugh at him.]
Yoko basically tells the caller that’s how they always are.
Sixth Caller = her grandmother likes Kanjani too!!!
She went to the concert today with her 70 year old grandmother.
Yoko+Hina are wowed.
Yoko asks who she likes, she answers Maru-chan. Yoko says that if she had answer Hina, he would totally suspect Hina of setting up the callers, cause most of them were Hina fans. Her grandmother is a Yasu fan.
She wants to heal them with her grandmother’s wisdom and passes the phone to her…
I didn’t get some of it (the grandmother speaks pretty fast) but the gist was =
Hina apologizes for it being so late in the night, Yoko for Yasu no being here. She says that she doesn’t just like Yasu but all of them and explains that through her granddaughter she came to know about Kanjani and before she knew it, she was a fan. Yoko asks what she felt about their concert, she said she felt young again. They’re very happy. She says that it maybe embarrassing having someone old there, Yoko+Hina reply that’s totally alright and that they like grandmothers.
Her wisdom is…when you’re tired, lie on your side and listen to your favourite song, you’ll feel refreshed after it’s over.
Hina asks her what her favourite song is, she says it used to be…something but now it’s Eito. And she watches their DVDs too. Yoko says that she’s probably the most talkative grandmother in the world who can still talk so much this late at night. Yoko+Hina thank her and she switches back to her granddaughter.
Yoko+Hina thank the granddaughter.
“Arigato” << Aw, how appropriate.
I think this is my favourite show of 2007 yet.
