Requested by sukidaiyou
Aiba: Good evening!
Nakai: It's Arashi~!
All: Please take care of us~
Nakai: Doing okay lately?
All: We're good!
Nakai: What have you been up to?
Sho: We're currently in the middle of our tour.
Nakai: In the middle of a tour?
Sho: Yes.
Aiba: We're having concerts.
Nakai: Where are they held? All over the country?
Sho: All over, yes.
Nino: (overlap) We just got back from Hokkaido.
Nakai: It's an arena tour? Wait, today?
Sho: Yes, today.
Nakai: You got back from Hokkaido today?
Sho: Yes.
Nakai: You had a concert today?
Sho: Yes.
Nino: We had two performances.
Sho: We had two.
[Two performances in Hokkaido -> Utaban]
Nakai: Seriously?
Sho: Yes.
Nakai: What time did they start?
Sho: 12pm and 3:30pm.
Nakai: You start at 12pm?
Nino: Yes.
Nakai: Aren't you sleepy?
Nakai: I mean... you don't sleep until right before, right?
Nino: Plus, before that, we had an interview.
Sho: We did.
Nino: At Hokkaido.
[Interview -> Two performances -> Utaban]
Nakai: You had an interview, two performances, then you came back immediately after? For Utaban?
Sho: After this, too...
Nakai: You're really busy-- wait, you have more after this?
[Interview -> Two performances -> Utaban -> Still work]
Ishibashi: They can't go home at this rate.
Nakai: It's amazing...
Ishibashi: If I ever hear that I have a schedule like this on the next day, I'd be like, "You gotta be kidding me!" After performing in Hokkaido and appearing on Utaban, you still have more work to do?
[Arashi seem to be very busy workers]
Nakai: That's crazy... Is that a good thing? Is it good?
Jun: It's awesome.
Nakai: Awesome?
Jun: For us, yeah.
Nakai: I see. The feeling of being busy?
Jun: That we're working hard.
Sho: It's so great we can't take it.
Nakai: Does it feel like you're really working as Arashi?
Nino: Yes, it does.
Nakai: Makes you feel like you're really in Arashi?
Nakai: What about your regular TV shows?
Nino: We don't have any.
Sho: Ah, no, we do!
Nino: Ah, on TBS...
Sho: On TBS, we have a variety show.
Nino: It's a show we're hosting with Taichi-kun.
[New show "USO!?Japan"
Every Saturday at 8pm
(TBS 28 channels nation-wide)
TV Personalities: Kokubun Taichi, Takizawa Hideaki, Arashi, Others]
[Everyone should check it out!]
Nakai: What are you doing with Taichi?
Nino: Um... like, rumors?
Sho: It's a show where we verify rumors.
Nino: (overlap) A show... where we verify rumors.
Nakai: What time to what time? You should tell us while you're here.
Nino: Saturday...
Nakai: Saturday...?
All: 8pm.
Nakai: After Gakibara, then.
All: Right, right.
Nakai: So anyway, though Arashi may be very busy,
Arashi: Yes.
Nakai: they have come up with questions for Takaaki-san and myself, so... tada!
Nakai: "Have you ever considered quitting your job?" This is from Ninomiya-kun.
Nino: Yes. Have you?
[Ninomiya-kun's question
"Have you ever considered quitting your job?"]
Ishibashi: I don't think I ever did. Every day is a fun day.
Nakai: You're right.
Ishibashi: Yep. Especially when you bump into a TV star in the TV stations. It's like, "Aaahhh! It's Kyon-Kyon!" (*note: Kyon-Kyon is the nickname for actress/singer, Koizumi Kyoko.)
Nakai: "Ooh, it's that person!" You still have those moments, right? Like meeting Amuro-chan or Hamasaki Ayumi... you used to think, "Wow, it's Amuro-chan," right? (*note: Amuro-chan most likely refers to singer Amuro Namie.)
Sho: We still think that.
Nakai: You still think that, right? I still feel that way, too! I'd think, "Whoa, it's Amuro!"
When I see Kimura, I'm like, "Ah! It's Kimutaku!"
Nakai: We're super lucky, you know. I mean, there's about 50,000 people who want to join Johnny's and sing and dance!
[Nakai-sempai's heavy advice]
Nakai: This may sound weird, but your first chance is thanks to luck!
Arashi: That's true.
Ishibashi: From your point of view, Nakai-kun is your ultimate goal, right?
Jun: Yes...
Nakai: YOUR VOICE IS TOO SOFT.
Jun: For us, yes! Yes. After all, he's amazing.
[Arashi's goal is Nakai-kun?]
Ishibashi: Let's analyze him. He's not very good at singing... and he's not that cool... you only got into Johnny's because you can MC, right?
Nakai: No...
Ishibashi: That's how it is, right?
Nakai: No.
Ishibashi: You can't do a backflip, can you?
Nakai: I don't!
Jun: That's what people say when they can't do it.
Nakai: I can't do backflips.
Nakai: Okay, let's move on. Here.
Ishibashi: "Please tell me when a person should start living on their own."
Nakai: When?
Sho: Yes. Um, the five of us are all living with our parents right now.
[Sakurai-kun's question
"When should a person start living on their own?"]
Nakai: Uh huh.
Sho: But as a man, you'd want to live alone someday... or at least, live on your own before marriage, right?
Nakai: Uh huh, yeah. Well, it's a big step for an adult.
Sho: And cook and do the laundry on our own...
Nakai: You want to be free, right? You want to call your friends over whenever, and you want to live with your own rules, instead of the rules your family made up, right?
Sho: Yes.
Ishibashi: Well... obviously you wouldn't want your father and mother to pay for your rent or give you an allowance, so it depends on whether you have the money or not.
Nakai: But it's tough, you know! It happens to everyone when you first do it! You get all emotional like those scenes in the dramas...
Sho: You get emotional over how wonderful you are.
Nakai: I used to be like, "Wow, I'm tired today..." Though I was super happy at first, after a while, you start to get tired of it... and you'll feel bored. I think you should still stay with your parents.
Ishibashi: But you'd want to stay on your own when you're over 19, right?
Sho: Yes...
Ishibashi: That's why--
Sho: Takaaki-san, when did you...?
Ishibashi: For me, well... I rolled into one with a girl.
Nakai: He's a liar.
Nakai: Here it is. "Do you like bicycles?"
Ishibashi: Bicycles! I can't say that I hate them, because my partner's family runs a bicycle store. (*note: Ishibashi's referring to his partner, Noritake Kinashi, in their duo Tunnels.)
Nakai: Who is this... Ohno?
Ohno: Yes.
Nakai: Do you like bicycles?
Ohno: Well, I travel by bike everyday.
Nakai: Are you dealing with some of kind deep problem? Are you okay?
Sho: This is normal for him.
Nakai: This is normal?
[20-year-old Ohno is burdened with problems]
Sho: Yes.
Ishibashi: He looked like he was going to cry the previous time, too.
Nakai: Did you get fat?
Ohno: No! I didn't!
Nino: He's on a diet.
Nakai: Are you serious?
Sho: Please be nice to him.
Nakai: Seriously?
Ohno: This part won't get skinny. It's just my face.
Nakai: Right, right, right.
Ohno: My body got thinner.
Ishibashi: You put something in there, didn't you?
Nakai: We have a bike for you to ride right now.
Ohno: That looks like the bike I have.
Nakai: Do you have techniques? Bike techniques?
Ohno: Ah, yeah.
Nakai: Okay, go! Go for it!
[Ohno-kun will show us his bike techniques]
Sho: That's normal!
Aiba: That's normal! Completely normal!
Ohno: If there's a step... usually, if there's a step, you'd crash into it, right?
Nakai: Hey, bring us a box! A box, get us a box!
Nakai: Okay, Ohno, there's a step over here.
Ohno: There's a step.
Nakai: Right.
Ohno: When that happens, you'll usually crash up onto it, right?
Nakai: That's what we do!
Ohno: You'd crash, right?
Nakai: Right! For you...
Ohno: Over there, over there...
Nakai: Uh huh.
Ohno: When it's coming closer, you lift it up a little.
Nakai: Right, right.
Ohno: Then you'll just naturally land on top.
Nakai: Okay, let's have you demonstrate! Please do the honors! It's okay, it's okay.
Nakai: Go! Go, Ohno!
Jun: (background) Go!
[Ohno-kun will show us his bike techniques]
Ohno: You take this and go...
Nino: Huh?
[Huh??]
Nino: Huh?
Sho: I can't tell if that's good or bad!
Nakai: Shall I show you something super cool? It's really cool! When your friends are... when your friends... Ohno, go over there.
[Finally it's Nakai-aniki's turn]
Nakai: Ohno's waiting for me over there, okay? So I'm searching for him... say, "Over here, over here!"
Ohno: Over here, over here.
Nakai: Ah, you're over there! Did you wait long?
[You're cool today, Nakai-kun]
Nino: Nice!
Nakai: Wasn't that cool? I actually do this when I'm on my bike, you know! I always do this every time I stop my bike. Hang on, hang on, hang on!
Sho: He's falling over...
Nakai: It's cool, you know! It's cool, you know! When there's a girl, I go even lower. Watch me!
[We can see an even cooler Nakai-kun!]
Nakai: That dip wasn't very low just now. When I'm doing it in front of a girl, I want to show her my cool side. See? Ahhh, she's waiting, she's waiting! Look out, look out, look out!!
Sho: That didn't work...
[Of course...]
Ishibashi: It's starting to get interesting, isn't it? With each level, he dips lower, before he falls on the third one.
Nakai: Okay, last of all! Here!
Ishibashi: "Please tell us how to drive a car in a cool fashion."
Aiba: That's me!
Ishibashi: Ah, this is true for everyone. It's the time when you want a driving license.
Aiba: Recently I got my driving license...
Ishibashi: You passed your test?
Aiba: Yes!
[Aiba-kun has the first-year driver sign]
Aiba: I passed... and, it's hard to do reverse parking, isn't it? What do you call the things showing the parking space for a car?
Ishibashi: Parking cones.
Aiba: Sometimes parking lots have them and sometimes they don't, right?
Ishibashi: Yes, yes, that's true.
Aiba: When they're not there, I always hit the back of my car. Before I realize I'm close to the wall. I have no idea how to stop...
Nakai: Okay, let's do this then! Utaban's Automatic Driving School.
Arashi: Yay!
Nakai: Please head over there!
[Utaban's Automatic Driving School]
Nakai: Okay, someone in Arashi will now get that car out, go around that cone once, reverse, and park the car back in that spot. You can't do this well?
Aiba: That's right. I always hit the back.
Nakai: You always hit the back. This is all about spatial sense, so how would you explain this for practice?
Ishibashi: It's hard to talk about space when each person has different spatial sense, huh?
Nakai: Exactly. Okay, why don't you give us a demonstration? Takaaki-san will take the car out for a round.
[First, Instructor Ishibashi will give a demonstration]
Nino: I want to see that.
Ishibashi: What?
Nakai: We want to see that, don't we?
Nino: Yes.
Ishibashi: I can't do it at all.
Aiba: Please show us your skills. Please do.
Ishibashi: The first important thing is!
Nakai: The first important thing is!
Ishibashi: Adjust the rear-view mirror!
All: Adjust the rear-view mirror.
Nakai: What's the next important thing?
Ishibashi: Put on your seatbelt before you adjust it!
All: Put on your seatbelt before you adjust it!
Ishibashi: Start the engine!
All: Start the engine!
Ishibashi: Check the back! Check the front! Check the sides!
Nino: Check them!
Ishibashi: Pull down your parking brake!
Nakai: Pull it down!
Nino: Pull it down!
Ishibashi: Put it into the right gear! Then move out!
Jun: Ah, it moved!
Ishibashi: Of course it'd move!
Sho: "Ah, it moved"...?
Ishibashi: Put on your signal!
All: Put on your signal.
Aiba: Put it on.
Ishibashi: Look carefully!
Sho: Look... Look carefully!
Ohno: Wow.
Nakai: That's dangerous! That's dangerous!!
Ishibashi: Reverse!
Nakai: You're reversing!?
Ishibashi: Look carefully! Look at the parking spot!
Sho: Look at the parking spot carefully!
Ishibashi: You think that it's difficult to do a reverse parking! In that case! Go in from the front!
Aiba: There's no point to this anymore!
[Instructor Ishibashi looks very satisfied with himself]
Aiba: There's no point!
Nakai: This won't do! This doesn't demonstrate anything at all! Get out, get out!
Ishibashi: What, what? This is clearly impossible for my skills! The road is narrow! And if you think there's too small a space, you have to go in from the front! This is how it works!
Nakai: But when the Arashi boys get a driving license and go on dates with girls, this would be really uncool!
Ishibashi: Practice makes perfect! You have to put it in practice to learn.
Nakai: Yes, yes, practice makes perfect.
Ishibashi: Yes, yes. Try it.
Nakai: Okay, I'll take this out first.
Ishibashi: Sure.
Nakai: This isn't funny...
Nakai: Man, this is scary!
Sho: Is it okay?
Aiba: It's okay, it's okay.
All: Look out, look out!
Nakai: That was close. Watch out! Watch out, watch out, watch out!
Ishibashi: It's going to be bad if you hit them.
Sho: Cool!
Aiba: Whoa.
Nakai: All right! Okay then...
Ishibashi: Try it.
Aiba: Okay!
Nino: This is our first time seeing him drive.
Jun: Yeah, it is.
[It's finally Aiba-kun's turn]
Nakai: Okay, go!
Aiba: All right!
Nakai: Okay! Show us how cool you are!
Ishibashi: Okay, first! Put on your seatbelt!
Aiba: Put on the seatbelt.
Ishibashi: Adjust the rear-view mirror!
Aiba: Adjust the rear-view mirror!
Nino: Adjust it!
Aiba: Yep!
Ishibashi: Then turn on the engine!
All: Turn on the engine!
Nakai: Okay Aiba-kun, please do the honors! Go ahead!
Ishibashi: Start!
Aiba: Okay!
Nakai: Okay Aiba-kun, please do the honors! Go ahead!
Ishibashi: Start!
Aiba: Okay!
[It's finally Aiba-kun's turn]
Sho: Aiba-san just did a finger-point check.
Ishibashi: Good, good, a finger-point check.
Aiba: I'm off!
Ohno: It's the first time we're seeing this.
Nino: The first time!
Sho: You have fear in your eyes, Aiba-san.
Aiba: I do not! I'm not scared at all!
Jun: Where is he going?
Ohno: Whoa... that's amazing.
Nakai: Looking good! You can do this!
Aiba: Is this okay?
Nakai: It's okay! It's totally okay! It's totally okay! Now, how is he going to reverse in!?
Ishibashi: What's he going to do?
Nakai: Oh, he's coming over here, he's coming over here!
Ishibashi: Ohh!
Aiba: Turn the wheel...
Nakai: And it's time to reverse!
Aiba: It's all about trying new things, right?
Sho: Go, Aiba!
Aiba: It's all about the challenge.
Nakai: That's right!
Nino: It's all about the challenge.
Nakai: You can do it, you can do it!
Aiba: Is this okay?
Nakai: You can, you can!
Aiba: Ah, but this looks dangerous...
Nakai: You can do it! You're Aiba, you can do it!
Aiba: Really?
Ohno: You can do it!
Nakai: You're Arashi, you know! You're Arashi, you know!!
Aiba: I know.
Aiba: Good evening!
Nakai: It's Arashi~!
All: Please take care of us~
Nakai: Doing okay lately?
All: We're good!
Nakai: What have you been up to?
Sho: We're currently in the middle of our tour.
Nakai: In the middle of a tour?
Sho: Yes.
Aiba: We're having concerts.
Nakai: Where are they held? All over the country?
Sho: All over, yes.
Nino: (overlap) We just got back from Hokkaido.
Nakai: It's an arena tour? Wait, today?
Sho: Yes, today.
Nakai: You got back from Hokkaido today?
Sho: Yes.
Nakai: You had a concert today?
Sho: Yes.
Nino: We had two performances.
Sho: We had two.
[Two performances in Hokkaido -> Utaban]
Nakai: Seriously?
Sho: Yes.
Nakai: What time did they start?
Sho: 12pm and 3:30pm.
Nakai: You start at 12pm?
Nino: Yes.
Nakai: Aren't you sleepy?
Nakai: I mean... you don't sleep until right before, right?
Nino: Plus, before that, we had an interview.
Sho: We did.
Nino: At Hokkaido.
[Interview -> Two performances -> Utaban]
Nakai: You had an interview, two performances, then you came back immediately after? For Utaban?
Sho: After this, too...
Nakai: You're really busy-- wait, you have more after this?
[Interview -> Two performances -> Utaban -> Still work]
Ishibashi: They can't go home at this rate.
Nakai: It's amazing...
Ishibashi: If I ever hear that I have a schedule like this on the next day, I'd be like, "You gotta be kidding me!" After performing in Hokkaido and appearing on Utaban, you still have more work to do?
[Arashi seem to be very busy workers]
Nakai: That's crazy... Is that a good thing? Is it good?
Jun: It's awesome.
Nakai: Awesome?
Jun: For us, yeah.
Nakai: I see. The feeling of being busy?
Jun: That we're working hard.
Sho: It's so great we can't take it.
Nakai: Does it feel like you're really working as Arashi?
Nino: Yes, it does.
Nakai: Makes you feel like you're really in Arashi?
Nakai: What about your regular TV shows?
Nino: We don't have any.

Nino: (overlap) A show... where we verify rumors.
Nakai: What time to what time? You should tell us while you're here.
Nino: Saturday...
Nakai: Saturday...?
All: 8pm.
Nakai: After Gakibara, then.
All: Right, right.
Nakai: So anyway, though Arashi may be very busy,
Arashi: Yes.
Nakai: they have come up with questions for Takaaki-san and myself, so... tada!
Nakai: "Have you ever considered quitting your job?" This is from Ninomiya-kun.
Nino: Yes. Have you?
[Ninomiya-kun's question

Ohno: Ah, yeah.
Nakai: Okay, go! Go for it!
[Ohno-kun will show us his bike techniques]

Nakai: Okay, let's do this then! Utaban's Automatic Driving School.
Arashi: Yay!
Nakai: Please head over there!
[Utaban's Automatic Driving School]
Nakai: Okay, someone in Arashi will now get that car out, go around that cone once, reverse, and park the car back in that spot. You can't do this well?
Aiba: That's right. I always hit the back.
Nakai: You always hit the back. This is all about spatial sense, so how would you explain this for practice?
Ishibashi: It's hard to talk about space when each person has different spatial sense, huh?
Nakai: Exactly. Okay, why don't you give us a demonstration? Takaaki-san will take the car out for a round.
[First, Instructor Ishibashi will give a demonstration]
Nino: I want to see that.
Ishibashi: What?
Nakai: We want to see that, don't we?
Nino: Yes.
Ishibashi: I can't do it at all.
Aiba: Please show us your skills. Please do.
Ishibashi: The first important thing is!
Nakai: The first important thing is!
Ishibashi: Adjust the rear-view mirror!
All: Adjust the rear-view mirror.
Nakai: What's the next important thing?
Ishibashi: Put on your seatbelt before you adjust it!
All: Put on your seatbelt before you adjust it!
Ishibashi: Start the engine!
All: Start the engine!
Ishibashi: Check the back! Check the front! Check the sides!
Nino: Check them!
Ishibashi: Pull down your parking brake!
Nakai: Pull it down!
Nino: Pull it down!
Ishibashi: Put it into the right gear! Then move out!
Jun: Ah, it moved!
Ishibashi: Of course it'd move!
Sho: "Ah, it moved"...?
Ishibashi: Put on your signal!
All: Put on your signal.
Aiba: Put it on.
Ishibashi: Look carefully!
Sho: Look... Look carefully!
Ohno: Wow.
Nakai: That's dangerous! That's dangerous!!
Ishibashi: Reverse!
Nakai: You're reversing!?
Ishibashi: Look carefully! Look at the parking spot!
Sho: Look at the parking spot carefully!
Ishibashi: You think that it's difficult to do a reverse parking! In that case! Go in from the front!
Aiba: There's no point to this anymore!
[Instructor Ishibashi looks very satisfied with himself]
Aiba: There's no point!
Nakai: This won't do! This doesn't demonstrate anything at all! Get out, get out!
Ishibashi: What, what? This is clearly impossible for my skills! The road is narrow! And if you think there's too small a space, you have to go in from the front! This is how it works!
Nakai: But when the Arashi boys get a driving license and go on dates with girls, this would be really uncool!
Ishibashi: Practice makes perfect! You have to put it in practice to learn.
Nakai: Yes, yes, practice makes perfect.
Ishibashi: Yes, yes. Try it.
Nakai: Okay, I'll take this out first.
Ishibashi: Sure.
Nakai: This isn't funny...
Nakai: Man, this is scary!
Sho: Is it okay?
Aiba: It's okay, it's okay.
All: Look out, look out!
Nakai: That was close. Watch out! Watch out, watch out, watch out!
Ishibashi: It's going to be bad if you hit them.
Sho: Cool!
Aiba: Whoa.
Nakai: All right! Okay then...
Ishibashi: Try it.
Aiba: Okay!
Nino: This is our first time seeing him drive.
Jun: Yeah, it is.
[It's finally Aiba-kun's turn]
Nakai: Okay, go!
Aiba: All right!
Nakai: Okay! Show us how cool you are!
Ishibashi: Okay, first! Put on your seatbelt!
Aiba: Put on the seatbelt.
Ishibashi: Adjust the rear-view mirror!
Aiba: Adjust the rear-view mirror!
Nino: Adjust it!
Aiba: Yep!
Ishibashi: Then turn on the engine!
All: Turn on the engine!
Nakai: Okay Aiba-kun, please do the honors! Go ahead!
Ishibashi: Start!
Aiba: Okay!
Nakai: Okay Aiba-kun, please do the honors! Go ahead!
Ishibashi: Start!
Aiba: Okay!
[It's finally Aiba-kun's turn]
Sho: Aiba-san just did a finger-point check.
Ishibashi: Good, good, a finger-point check.
Aiba: I'm off!
Ohno: It's the first time we're seeing this.
Nino: The first time!
Sho: You have fear in your eyes, Aiba-san.
Aiba: I do not! I'm not scared at all!
Jun: Where is he going?
Ohno: Whoa... that's amazing.
Nakai: Looking good! You can do this!
Aiba: Is this okay?
Nakai: It's okay! It's totally okay! It's totally okay! Now, how is he going to reverse in!?
Ishibashi: What's he going to do?
Nakai: Oh, he's coming over here, he's coming over here!
Ishibashi: Ohh!
Aiba: Turn the wheel...
Nakai: And it's time to reverse!
Aiba: It's all about trying new things, right?
Sho: Go, Aiba!
Aiba: It's all about the challenge.
Nakai: That's right!
Nino: It's all about the challenge.
Nakai: You can do it, you can do it!
Aiba: Is this okay?
Nakai: You can, you can!
Aiba: Ah, but this looks dangerous...
Nakai: You can do it! You're Aiba, you can do it!
Aiba: Really?
Ohno: You can do it!
Nakai: You're Arashi, you know! You're Arashi, you know!!
Aiba: I know.
