How was your week minna?:) I bet we're all glad it's weekendXDD Finally a chance to relax, enjoy the weather, and spend some time with our favorite boys;P This week I was cleaning like a mad woman for 4 days straight, before and after work, because it's past due...and my mother's coming next weekXDD Yes, I need that kind of motivation sometimes;P I'm sure it'll pass her critical eye, but I'm not sure when my spine will go back into alignmentXDDD
This week I have...the Shukudai-kun with Morisanchuu!:D (07.04.02) Lots of fun, although being a fan of Jun is showbiz looks pretty tough...XD

Sho: Arashi's Homework begins~!
Aiba: Ne! Everyone please listen!
Jun: What?
Aiba: The parrot that I bought finally talked. (writing)
Sho: What did it say?
Aiba: Basic things, like [Good morning]. (writing)
Sho: Oh, basic things.
Aiba: Basic things like [good morning].
Jun: Basic.
Aiba: It talked, but it's voice is super super low. (writing)
Sho: Ah, is that so.
Aiba: Like 'good morning, good morning', 'good morning, good morning'. Really, really! I was super super surprised,
I thought 'ah, this might work!', so I taught him something.
Sho: What did you teach it? (writing)
Aiba: Eh? It's a giraffe, it's a giraffe. (writing) So then it said it, the giraffe, not the giraffe the parrot.
Sho: I'm getting lost. (writing)
Aiba: Next time I'll bring it with me, I'll put it over there.
Sho: That's a nuisance. That's a nuisance. (writing)
Nino: That's okay.
Sho: So, this is today's guest, it's everyone from Morisanchuu. Come on in~!
Morisanchuu: Hello~!
00:53
{The announcer says tonight they've amassed thought-up ramen ideas from across the country, and MatsuJun gets
up close and personal with Ooshima with a very hot ramen. Ooshima objects loudly;P Then Sakurai and Kurozawa
do a dream rap collaboration, furthermore Morisanchuu's earnest sumo session leads to a state of emergencyXD
Mmm, exactly what the heck happens?}
1:13
Sho: I kind of heard that Ooshima-san is a huge fan of Matsumoto-kun...
Ooshima: Yes, ehhh...
Murakami: Hey, he's right beside you, why don't you look at him.
Ooshima: I won't look. (writing)
Kurozawa: You really can't meet him often.
Ohno: It would be better if you changed seats. (writing)
Ooshima: Eh, I'm good, I'm good. I don't want to.
Murakami: He's looking at you an incredible amount right now. (writing)
[writing: Big panic]
Murakami: He's looking at you an incredible amount.
Sho: Her heart's beating faster;P
Kurozawa: Her mother's also a fan of Arashi, and her little sister, so it's like her family's it's own fanclub.
Ooshima: That's right.
Kurozawa: It seems that Ooshima-san herself goes on Arashi-san's cellphone website. (writing)
Ooshima: Yes.
Kurozawa: At least once or twice a week.
Ooshima: I always, um...look. (writing)
Kurozawa: What is that?;P
Nino: What's with this, this isn't how she normally is! (writing)
Sho: is she okay?;P
Murakami: Ah, but its amazing, Ooshima becoming your fan, she doesn't become of the fan of a lot of people. (writing)
Up until now the people that she's been a fan of are Chiyonofuji-san. (Sumo wrestler)
[writing: Famous people she's become a fan of:]
Murakami: And, Alcindo-san. (Brazilian soccer player) Cause he's after that ne.
Jun: What's with that?;P
Nino: Fantastic!;)
Jun: On a side note, do Chiyonofuji-san and Alcindo-san have points in common with me? (writing)
Ooshima: They do!
All: Ehhh??
Murakami: But that's definitely wrong...
Jun: So, so how are we connected?
Ooshima: Um, although your faces are very together, they're babyfaces. (writing)
Murakami: Not really;P
Ogura: Is that so?;P
Sho: Do the two of you have anyone particular in Arashi?
Murakami: Well~, I have pretty high standards so... (writing)
Nino: Now I'm angry~;P (writing)
Murakami: Conversely, if you came to me it would be fine.
Nino: If you were forced to choose, who would it be, after all? (writing)
Murakami: But really, anyone's fine! (writing)
Nino: That's a bad habit;P
Kurozawa: I don't like that~.
Nino: That's too narrow-minded.
Ogura: Homework for the audience from Morisanchuu. Investigate and submit thought-up ramen that even we, who
love ramen, don't know about. (writing)
Sho: You like ramen?
Ogura: All three of you like ramen?
Ooshima: Um, the Kurozawa household has a ramen shop.
[writing: Her parents' home is a ramen shop]
Ogura: Where is it? Your parents' home.
Kurozawa: It's in Ibaragi-ken.
Ogura: Ibaragi?
Kurozawa: Although we bring out a lot of different kinds of ramen we don't have a kind of menu that represents
the store. (writing)
Nino: What kinds do you have right now?
Kurozawa: Right now we have potage ramen, where you put ramen in potage soup. (writing)
Aiba: Hey, that kind of resembles our segments ne!;P
[writing: Definitely!]
Sho: It's just like it ne!
Nino: It's just like our show ne.
3:20
{the announcer says that first of all everyone's going to try tasting the Kurozawa household's special potage
ramen}
Aiba: But, it looks incredibly tasty doesn't it?
Sho: It looks tasty. Like hot water ramen.
Kurozawa: Hot water ramen?;P
Nino: Hot water ramen?;P
Ogura: I see ne.
Kurozawa: Ooshima-san always talks about how in the middle of the show Matsumoto-san will say something's really
tasty-
Ooshima: It's super tasty ne! He serves it up nicely. (writing)
Murakami: He's good at serving it up ne.
Kurozawa: We watch a lot.
Jun: You watch (the show) a lot ne. (writing)
Ooshima: He serves it up nicely.
Jun: Ah, amazing.
Kurozawa: Ah, I see.
Ogura: The potage clings to the noodles.
Nino: You can see his nipples from here! (writing)
[writing: Fixated]
Ohno: He has pretty nice nipples doesn't he? (writing)
Ooshima: Nice...ne?
Ogura: That's nice right.
Aiba: Alright! Then, let's go.
Ogura: Yes, go ahead.
Ohno: The ramen looks tasty huh.
Sho: It looks tasty ne.
Jun: The smell is incredibly good.
Ooshima: Thanks for the food~.
Nino: You're on Tv everyone.
Kurozawa: He's causing a stir.
Murakami: You don't laugh when you eat ramen. (writing)
Aiba: It's a big fit of laughter! A big fit of laughter! (writing)
Murakami: It's kind of like something's missing, I think you would say.
Ogura: Everything's missing? (writing)
Murakami: That's right ne~. (writing)
Ooshima: That's right, she's right!
Murakami: It's too bland.
Kurozawa: But it's not like you can't eat it ne, probably ne.
Murakami: So what about this, how would you improve it from here on?
Sho: Tasty! (writing)
Ogura: Ah, Sho-kun said it's tasty!
Sho: It's somewhere in between pork bone soup and potage ne.
Ohno: Eh, this is tasty. (writing)
Ooshima: Are you guys related to her?
4:38
{the announcer says that they've received 284 submissions across the country that could replace this potage
ramen. First of all, the ones with unusual things blended into the soup...}
4:45
Nino: Please take a look. Tada.
Jun: Oh, that looks super tasty!
Nino: So, everyone, smell it, smell it!
Sho: All of a sudden MatsuJun is part of Morisanchuu! (writing)
Kurozawa: He's a friend.
Nino: Do you know the smell?
Murakami: It's miso-ish. (writing)
Ogura: What, the soup is different?
Jun: Pork soup? (writing)
Nino: This ne, sake lees ramen. (writing)
Ogura: Sake lees ramen?
Nino: In this restaurant ne, they have a lot of sake, so they thought they'd make use of the residue and made
this ramen.
Ogura: This- this might be good. it's like miso soup.
Jun: That's right ne. It's got the color of miso ne.
Nino: It seems that the sake lees bring out the sweetness of the soup ne.
Ogura: That's right ne.
Nino: Yes.
Aiba: Where is this from?
Nino: This is from Kyoto ne.
Aiba: Kyoto...
Jun: This is tasty.
Ogura: It's tasty?
Jun: It's incredibly tasty.
Sho: If Kurozawa's household made this it would probably be snapped right up. (writing)
Jun: But this is Kyoto right? The restaurant's in Ibaragi, they have no idea. (writing)
Kurozawa: Hey!
5:32
{the announcer says the next one was submitted by Churuchuru-san, the Japanese noodle shop Tetsu's spicy noodles.
At first glance they seem normal, but will they be able to eat them?}
5:43
Ogura: Grilled stones? Ah, they're putting in a grilled stone. (writing)
Nino: Ah, store-owner, store-owner!
Tanekojima: I'm not the store-owner, I'm just an employee.
Nino: Ah, then employee-san. So just go ahead and drop the stone in there.
Kurozawa: Eh? We're putting it in there?
Nino: Yes, in the soup.
Ogura: That's right, it's incredibly hot.
Nino: Anywhere.
Ooshima: Okay, here I go.
Ogura: It'll just bubble up.
Ooshima: Ah, it's not that hot.
Murakami: No no, you're wrong.
Ooshima: Ah, I'm wrong, I was wrong.
Murakami: You're definitely wrong.
Jun: At the beginning it comes out super hot like this.
Nino: That's right ne.
Jun: Then, once it's cooled they put in the stone.
Ogura: It's unusual to see ramen noodles that thick ne.
Ooshima: Tasty!
Sho: Cool! Incredibly cool!;P
Ooshima: I'm strong.
Murakami: She's strong huh.
Ogura: She's kind of angry;P This is incredibly thick. (writing)
OOshima: So it's really not that hot when you put in the stone ne.
Sho: You don't have to say that. (writing)
6:35
{the announcer says after this various thought-up ramen make an appearance, and then the earnest sumo battle
produces a state of emergency.}
6:42
Ogura: So, are we going to the next one?
Nino: Yes, let;s go to the next one. This is from Aichi-ken ne, from Toyota-shi. Here it is!
Murakami: What is this? (writing)
Nino: They call this snow viewing ramen ne. This is soy sauce-flavored ramen with spicyness to it.
Ogura: It's spicy! This might be tasty!
Nino: That's right, on top of the ramen they pile a thick, 5-egg meringue. (writing)
Jun: The sweetness and spicyness complement each other.
Nino: That's right ne.
Ogura: Try eating it.
Ooshima: Here I go. Ah, it's pretty fluffy.
Murakami: And the noodles, the noodles?
Ooshima: The noodles? Just a sec please. There's quite a lot of noodles ne.
Kurozawa: There's an incredible amount.
Murakami: Those are incredibly long noodles!
Kurozawa: Careful, careful!
Nino: Keep at it!
Sho: MatsuJun, the side dish! (writing)
Nino: Get a side dish!
Murakami: She looked a little.
Sho: How is it, how is it?;P
Murakami: Careful! Careful!
Kurozawa: Don't squash the meringue!
Ohno: You can't really tell the flavor huh;P (writing)
Nino: You can't tell right?
Ooshima: Hot. (writing) But I think this is the most tasty. This is tasty.
Jun: This is tasty?
Ogura: I think it'll be delicious.
OOshima: It becomes mild, with this meringue. (writing)
Nino: The next one ne, is from Tokyo as well, from Atoushima-ku.
Ogura: I think there's a possibility that I'll like this!
Nino: This ne, is habanero ramen.
Ogura: Habanero! That's extreme!
Aiba: That's definitely hot!
Nino: It's a pork-bone soup base ne, with spicy miso bean sauce, spicy soy sauce, and habanero extract. (writing)
Ogura: Habanero...spicy spicy spicy. And furthermore, this!
Jun: What is this?
Nino: This is a habanero! (writing)
Murakami: Ew!
Nino: The round thing. If you eat one of these-
Ogura: No good, no good.
Nino: - the people in the restaurant say that you'll die. (writing)
Kurozawa: That's definitely no good!
Murakami: Don't die!
Kurozawa: So don't put it in there!
Aiba: This'll be intense huh~!
OOshima: Spicy!
Ogura: Even this...
Nino: There's a lot of spice in there. It's not like we're trying to deceive you about the spicyness ne.
Jun: Here, sorry for the wait.
Nino: Why don't you let him feed you. (writing)
Sho: Ah, that's right.
OOshima: No no no! No~ thanks!
Kurozawa: It's fine!
Ooshima: I don't want to, I don't want to! No, I'm fine! I'm fine! Really! Really, really!
Ogura: Feed it to her.
[writing: the actual habanero]
Ooshima: I don't want that! I don't want that!
Nino: She'll definitely die! She'll die, she'll die!
Murakami: It's fine!
Nino: I told you that's no good!
Ogura: It's not spicy, so get her to eat some.
OOshima: Ohno-kun?
Ohno: It's ultra tasty!
Ooshima: Ultra tasty? He's coughing! Huh? Are you okay?
Nino: It's not spicy at all! (writing)
Ooshima: Your a liar!
Nino: MatsuJun is...
Ooshima: Wait a sec! Wait a sec, wait a sec!
Jun: Hey, hey! Hey, hey, 'ahhh';P
Kurozawa: Amaxing~.
Nino: Amazing.
Sho: her face is all redXD
Nino: How is it?
Aiba: It's not spicy?
Murakami: It's not spicy? (writing)
Jun: Ah, it's not spicy, the soup...
Murakami: Ah, it's okay, how about the soup?
Ogura: The soup, the soup;P
Kurozawa: Delicious?
Jun: What's wrong?;P
Sho: Spicy!
Murakami: It's gotten spicy!
Nino: What, what, what?;P
OOshima: Spicy~! Spicy~! (writing)
Ogura: I like it even though it's spicy.
Ooshima: Spicy~! Spicy!!
9:42
{the announcer says they now do janken to decide who has to eat the habanero}
Sho/Kurozawa: First throw, janken-pun!
Murakami: I really can't give a reaction to spicy things though... (writing)
Sho: The tension went down an incredible amount;P
Murakami: Ah, this is amazing! (writing) Uwaa, this is, uwaaa, I really don't want to!
Ogura: Ah, there it goes! Here, water!
Ohno: What is that?
Ooshima: What's wrong?
Nino: What, ninja arts? Ninja arts? (writing) Ninja arts?
Murakami: It goes right up here!
Ooshima: It goes right up here, up like this!
Nino: Ah, it goes up like this.
10:23
{the announcer says after this it's Morisanchuu's private life. Sho begins by saying that OOshima has the image
of a celebrity wife, and she agrees that it's somehow become attached to her. He asks if her life has changed
because of it and Murakami says that after getting married, as you weould expect, she's started paying more attention
to her underwear, that up until then she'd just buy the 1000yen 5 pack at supermarkets that got all worn out;P
Now she goes to buy high quality lingerie, and Ooshima says she's wearing it right that moment;P Sho laughs
and comments on her amazing prided underwear. Ohno asks if she wears things, and she says she's at a different
stage right now, that's one more stage higher than hers. Nino asks what she does at hime, if she cleans, and
she says that at some point in the future she aims to take over Matsui Kazyuo-san's spot (as a cleaning goddess).
She says she's the best at using the lint roller, in terms of cleaning, and she doesn't use the vaccuum that often.
Ogura asks if there's such a thing as being good or bad at that, and Aiba says surely there can't be, and Ooshima
says they have no idea. Ogura says 'we have no idea?' and she says they're not in a position to talk about it
yet;P The announcer says that Ooshima will now show off her prided lint roller technique. Aiba asks if she's
going to do it with that generic lint roller and she says it's fine. Then she asks them to hang on a sec while
she takes off the top sheet...then she demonstrates how people normally do it, and everyone agrees, and she says
it's wrong. She says that in this way the stuff in the middle won't get taken off, so she'll show them how to
do it...after she takes off another sheet;P Aibs tells her she doesn't have to tell them thatXD She flips the
rug and says the dirt flew up, that it flew up and landed on the edges, so that's what she does.}
12:00
Nino: Is this person actually good at this?! (writing)
Aiba: What is this?
Ooshima: This is different from the one at home. (writing)
Aiba: You said this-
Ooshima; Have that one ready!
Nino: You said that one's fine! (writing)
Ooshima: It turns out if I don't have the one from home I can't do it!
Nino: Try it one more time! On the herringbone part, the herringbone part.
Ooshima: Agh, shut up!
[writing: Wrongfully angry]
Nino: There, there.
Ohno: Ah, but she's pretty concentrated on that.
Sho: That'll definitely make you tired.
Aiba: Is there a point to that? (writing)
OOshima: There is!! There is, that's why I'm doing it!!
12:27
{Ohno asks what she does about tatami, and she says that's why she peels them off. She bunches one up and says
that now it's a cleaning tool. Sho says it's not that different from Matsui-san (who makes sticks with clothes
on the end), and she says it's just like that, these are her OOshima-sticks, and Murakami says they're not sticks;P
Nino says it's a finger, she can call it the Ooshima-finger, and Murakami states that she's fully focussed on cleaning
now and it's not good;P}
12:58
AIba: That's not a kitchen! (writing) That's not a kitchen!
Nino: That's a mural, a mural!
Murakami: A painting!
Kurozawa: Ah, amazing.
Sho: Isn't that just the paint you rubbed off the set? (writing)
Nino: That's just destructive!
13:11
{Ooshima says that even so it takes off quite a bit, and Sho says it's amazing, and she reiterates that it really
gets it off. Ogura says she's good, and that there's not much pride taken in that at his place. To which OOshima
replies that pride is good thing, but Ogura asks if her husband doesn't pester her when he sees her doing that?
She says that it's easier to do it when there's no one around so she does it all before her husband gets home.}
13:23
Sho: Eh, Ooshima-san, your husband and MatsuJun, if MatsuJun were to confess to you right now, what would you
do? (writing) If right now MatsuJun confessed his love to you, like 'OOshima-san, I've liked you for a long
time, please go out with me.' But you have a husband. What would you do? (writing)
Ooshima: Is that for real?
[writing: Serious!]
Ooshima: Is that for real?
Ogura: As a test, let's try changing seats.
Sho: For example...
Ooshima: This is bad! (writing)
Murakami: What?
Ogura: What about trying to hold hands? (writing)
OOshima: I'm good, I'm good! That's okay, really-
Murakami: How about holding hands, here-
Ooshima: Stop it! Stop it stop it! Don't touch him! (writing) Don't touch him! Don't you touch him with your
dirty hands! It has nothing to do with the camera! (writing) Do I have to use my fists?
Sho: Where does MatsuJun's allure lie?;P (writing)
OOshima: Well ne...if I start talking about this I won't stop, but...after all, after all-!
Ogura: Why don't you look over here too? (writing)
Ooshima: No no, that's okay, that's okay. Um, later on I'll have them do a check on air. (writing)
Ohno: If you can't look at his face then you should look only at his nipples. (writing)
Ooshima: Just now ne, just now ne, he lifted his arm right? When he did that it smelled great! (writing)
Sho: That's great~;P
Nino: You like him that much?
Ooshima: Ah, really ne, what is it...it's the excitement after Alcindo. (writing) Seriously.
Jun: Don't say that, saying that-
Ooshima: No, Alcindo was amazing, I was hooked on him. Um, I liked him an incredible amount, even now I really
do.
Jun: What was the opportunity? (writing)
Nino: That's right, about how many years?
OOshima: Just a little while ago I watched Tokyo Tower...
Nino: You watched it ne.
Ooshima: There was that movie, it was since then ne.
Ogura: Your husband-
Sho: Then you should come to a concert. (writing)
Ooshima: No no no no!
Sho: Why??
Ooshima: No no!
Aiba: You should ask! (writing; for tickets)
Ooshima: Who? Who?
Sho: MatsujUn.
Ooshima: No no no! Obviously I can't ask! (writing) Why would I ask?
Murakami: Why can't you ask?
Sho: That's how you treat us? (writing)
OOshima: Wrong wrong wrong;P
Nino: WSe're in the same group!
Murakami: Just now you said to Ninomiya-nsa [Obviously I can't ask!] (writing)
Nino: That's messed up ne.
Ogura: So then next time I'll bring you to concert.
Ooshima: Ah, is that for real?
Ogura: Yeah, I'll bring you along.
Jun: Yeah, please come, seriously.
Murakami: Look at that.
Aiba: Why can't you go?
Nino: She's getting more and more hunched-up. That vest is starting to look like a backpack... (writing)
Ooshima: It's a vest, a vest! A vest!
Nino: That's a backpack for sure, a backpack for sure!
Ooshima: It's a vest, a vest. It's not a backpack!
Nino: Hunch-up! (writing) Look at that!
Murakami: You're wrong!
Ogura: Ah, but I think that's a vest.
Ooshima: It's a vest ne.
Aiba: It's a vest ne.
Ooshima: Thank goodness.
Ogura: This is where we'd like the 3 of you to show us your special skills. (writing)
Murakami: Special skills.
Kurozawa: In terms of special skills, well I like this. I like rap.
Ooshima: if you give her a mike she can do it.
Nino: Our Sho-chan does rap too. (writing)
Jun: Then the two of you should do a collaboration! (writing)
Kurozawa: Is that okay?
Sho: That's fine ne.
Kurozawa: Oh wow.
[Announcer: Arashi's Sakurai and Morisanchuu's Kurozawa. This dream-team rap collaboration is becomign reality,

Kurozawa: Yeah Yeah! Le's go Yeah~! (writing)

Murakami: You can't follow what they do in the radio!
Sho: Ah, no good, this is no good~!
Murakami: It's not really coming out.
Kurozawa: Here we go~! Rap! Yeah yeah~! (writing)
Murakami: Is this okay?
Sho: Please play the tape....
{now, one of the most embarrasingly painful rap performances I've ever senn...}
Murakami: Together, there's two of you! (writing)
Kurozawa: *gibberish*
Murakami: What's she saying? (writing)
Kurozawa: *gibberish* Soap, soap, scrub scrub scrub, soap, scrub, Arashi, Arashi, for dream.
Sho: I didn't do anything at all! (writing)
Ohno: You can't do that!
Sho: There was no place for me to do it!
Kurozawa: I'm so glad we were able to collaborate~ (writing)
Sho: We didn't rap!
Kurozawa: Ah, wow, that was a dream. (writing)
Sho: We didn't do anything!
Murakami: Is that okay?
[Announcer: Next Murakami will reveal her special skill, exactly what kind of skill is it? (writing)]
Murakami: I~ ne, even though I appear like this, I'm good at cartwheels. (writing)
Ogura: Cartwheels? Aren't cartwheels just rolling?
Murakami: Well, if it's rolling, they are just rolling ne. (writing) Doesn't it seems like I wouldn't be able
to do them?
Ogura: You definitely couldn't do them.
Murakami: It doesn't look that way ne? And they're actually fairly nice too.
Aiba: Ah, I want to see that.
Ogura: The cartwheels.
Murakami: Ah! (writing)
Kurozawa: Are you okay? Are you okay?
Aiba: It does after all seem like you can't do them. (writing)
Murakami: Please wait a sec.
Sho: What??
Aiba: Your arms are short ne. (writing)
Nino: Ah, that's true, is this okay?
Murakami: It's fine, it's fine.
OOshima: Go for it!
Sho: Great! Ah, she's good.
Murakami: Only, I always do this by myself right? I was thinking it's kind of sad. I'd like to collaborate with someone~.
(writing)
OOshima: Oh, that's great!
Nino: Our Ohno. Cause even though he looks like this he's amazing at gymnastics ne. (writing)
Sho: So one of you should go down to the lower part...so that the person on top will do a kind of cross-over.
(writing)
Aiba: Oh that's great, that's cool, it's Johnny's-ish. (writing)
Sho: Johnny's-ish.
OOshima: Oh, great.
Murakami: So what am I doing here?
[writing: Cartwheels ne?]
Aiba: Do you understand? So like this you're going to cross-over...ne? Cross-over.
Murakami: Got it.
[writing: Watch this]
Murakami: Um, the speed-
Aiba: it just poured out ne, it completely came out;P
Ooshima: is this okay?
Murakami: It would be better if you matched your speed to mine ne?
Ohno: You want to do cartwheels that perfectly?? (writing)
Nino: Help her out.
Sho: Alright.
Aiba: Cross-over ne.
Nino: Cartwheels.
Sho: Collaboration.
[writing: The Ohno - Murakami cartwheel collaboration. Big fuss!]
Sho: It was incredibly pretty!
Nino: Pretty!
Sho: How was it Murakami-san, trying to do a collaboration?
Murakami: Ah, I didn't see it at all so I have no idea. (writing)
[Announcer: And lastly, Ooshima reveals an astounding special skill]
Ooshima: For me- well you did it before with Harisenbon right? Sumo.
Ogura: Sumo?;P
Nino: You do certainly look like you could do it.
Ogura: Sumo.
OOshima: Um, that's not sumo ne.
Sho: Ah, it's different?
Ogura: Harisenbon wasn't sumo?
Aiba: That's not sumo?
Ooshima: That kind of thing-
Jun: That's not the right way?
Ooshima: that's not the right way, that's not a national sport. (writing)
Nino: if that's the case then we'll bring ours out.
Sho: Our sumo leader.
Aiba: So, shall we do the national sport? (writing)
Ooshima: Yeah!
Aiba: Alright!
Ooshima: It's okay if I hurt him ne?
Nino: That's fine.
Ooshima: That's okay ne?

Ooshima: So then...change the set.
[writing: After this, Ooshima and Aiba butt heads]
Sho: So then, this is the appearance of Ooshima-san and Aiba-kun, come on in~!
Nino: Ooshima-san.
Ooshima: Yes?
Nino: He's looking at you an incredible amount. (writing)
Ooshima: For you I'll definitely win! (writing)
Ogura: Ready? Go!
[witing: Dead in seconds!]
Ogura: Ooshima~!
Aiba: Uwa, she's really dangerous! On top of which, if you were to ask me why she won, the feeling of...her breasts...
her breasts were on me...I thought I shouldn't- (writing)
Ogura: Don't worry about the breasts, don't worry about the breasts, push them, squeeze them, anything! (writing)
OOshima: Squeezing them is no good isn't it? My breasts...I'm a married woman.
Ogura: One more round!
Aiba: Enough! That's enough sensei!
Ogura: It's ending like this?
Nino: One more?
Ooshima: I didn't really-
Kurozawa: Wait~! (writing)
Ogura: Ah, someone's coming.
Murakami: She said wait ne.
Kurozawa: You haven't filmed true sumo here today. Because Matsumoto-san is here you've forgotten that you're
an entertainer! (writing) This is now true sumo. Cause we're filming it.
Murakami: Oh my, Kurozawa-san your personality's kind of completely different from earlier. (writing)
Aiba: It's different.
Murakami: Is this okay?
OOshima: I won't lose! Because Matsumoto is something precious! (writing)
Ogura: Ready~!
Murakami: What, what?
Ogura: here we go. Go!
[writing: Afte this, right in fron of MatsuJun's eyes... Announcer: After this, what the heck is that?]
OOshima: Because Matsumoto is something precious! (writing)
Ogura: Ready~!
Murakami: What, what?
Ogura: here we go. Go!
Kurozawa: Naive! Naive!
Ooshima: Don't look~! MatsuJun don't look~! (writing) Don't look~!
Kurozawa: We'll have Matsumoto-san see your true work! (writing)
Ooshima: Stop it~! Stop it!! Stop it~!! Don't look MatsuJun~! Don't look~! Ah~! (writing)
Ogura: I touched her butt. (writing)
23:04
{the announcer says this week's 'honour student' is Prince Kimchi from Tokyo, for the Habanero ramen, and requests
submissions with information on unusual curry and sweets, as well as requests for image homework in [what did
you do last night?] for Nankai Candies and Karina.}
23:24
Ogura: It kind of seems like he's got no problem with it.
Sho: There it is~!

Hahaha, from Nino pointing out Jun's nipples, to Jun feeding Ooshima spicy ramen, to poor Ooshima's backend being mercilessly exposed to all and sundry, this episode is just action-packedXDD And Jun laughs so much in this episode, hontou ni kawaii~<3 Plus, Ogura touched her butt, and was not overjoyed, is anyone else surprised?;P Sho's rap collaboration was one of the most awkward things I've had to watch lately, really cringe-worthy...but Ohno's cartwheel collaboration was really cute=) Hehe, but the best is yet to come...X3

Also, the darling tenjostyle requested a translation of the stage report from Ohno's Shounen Club Premium interview from 07.05.20^^ Also, she subbed it and will be posting it soon, otanoshimi ni;P

[writing: Today's first song is the hit song where even at the Dome concert the singing voices of Arashi and
their fans became one, [Love So Sweet].]
Sho: No~.
Ohno: Ow.
Sho: Why 'ow'?;P
Jun: Why can't really do that ne.
Sho: That's right.
[writing: It's a song that the members talk about as [a song that only Arashi can sing], that right now they
are treating very preciously.]
Jun: Understood. Yes.
Aiba: Yes.
Ohno: Yes.
Jun: Let's go.
[ANnouncer: Going from last year to this year, Arashi was a big success in their large scale excursion to Asia
, and naturally in Japan as well. And finally, on this day, in their 8th year since formation, they are facing
their first solo Dome live performance.]
Nino: It's a feeling of overstimulation.
Sho: That's really how it is ne.
Aiba: Certainly ne.
Sho: So, that's how we feel.
Nino: Eh? Why, are you catching your breath?
Aiba: Certainly, I certaimly think that's how it is.
Nino: That's no good.
Aiba: As you would think ne.
Nino: Okay, one at a time.
Aiba: It was overstimulating huh~.
Nino: Well, I ne, really, when it comes to those affairs ne...well, naturally, um...how do you put this? Although
this really wasn't the goal of it, when speaking in terms of the 'around asia' tour...there was a string feeling
of making a break, of properly finishing it off ne.
Aiba: Standing on stage during the rehearsal and during the real thing was completely different in the Dome. That
surprised me when I came out ne.
Jun: How was it different?
Aiba: Well kind of...didn't it really feel like the atmosphere was stifled? In the rehearsal the atmosphere was
incredibly spread out, it was an atmosphere that really made you think 'is this okay?' but when it was
time for the real thing because, as you would expect, the fans had their penlights and such...it was
incredibly different ne, my impression when I came out.
Sho: I'm the opposite. During the rehearsal I thought that it wasn't that wide at all, but when the guests came
in it became a feeling of 'oh, this place is amazing!'.
Nino: That's right, I was like that too.
Aiba: Huh? It's only me?
Nino: Ah, I don't know.
Sho: Doesn't it depend on the person?
Aiba: I guess it depends on the person, the sensation.
Nino: The sensations are different ne.
Ohno: Wasn't it kind of an amazing atmosphere, when you come out? So when we had to stand still I had no idea
where to look.
Jun: Ahead of you, ahead.
Ohno: When you stand still it's really wide like this, just standing there you don't know where you're supposed
to go.
Nino: Your sense of placement is extremely lacking.
Jun: I think that was a live performance that really blended our Arashi-ness with Johnny's-ness ne. Since we
were doing it in an arena of that size, there was a sense of it being a festival, moreso than one of our
concerts ne. As you would think ne, in the Dome. You can't really see the detailed things. So going beyond
that it was like 'at any rate let's have fun'. It would be great if the guests had the same feelings ne,
when we were doing it.
Sho: It was fun. It felt great.
Jun: That's it.
Sho: I was so happy.
Aiba: It feels good ne, we're happy.
Nino: More than anything.
Ohno: A goof feeling ne.
Aiba: That feels good.
Sho: Um, well, in actuality there were things we worried about, like if the sound would be off...but after all,
when the audience responded to the things we said, that felt great. When you faced one block and wave really
widely that whole upper block would all wave at once, right? Having your own action returned to you by a whole
block...
Aiba: That was happiness ne?
Sho: Yeah, that was happiness ne.
Ohno: After all they were so far that there was a little lag in the music, so that going like this...there was
a lag between our sensation of the sound and the guests. It was fun to match up to the ones over there ne.
Sho: Ah, you were doing that?
Ohno: I did that;)
Sho: So that means that Captain was operating completely under the leadership of those faraway people?
Ohno: That's right. Like, 'I'm losing!'
Nino: Bye bye~!
Jun: Let's play again sometime~!
Aiba: Thanks!
Nino: Thanks!
Jun: Follow us from now on as well!
Nino: Bye bye~!
[Announcer: This year Arashi, in the midst of summer, are flying towards a new stage...

Haha, I can just imagine Ohno being the only one off-beat, because he's trying to match people on the other side of the stadiumXD And both Jun and Nino were really introspective this time...^^ I like the litttle interactions they shot before the performances began, those are really cute:)

Plus, winkychan requested a translation of Nino's 'Arashizm' part in May Duet...which is something I don't normally do, so I guess Nino fans will be happyXD

Credit for the scans goes to lozetteu:)



"Nino's the best"?! Berlin and Paris, the truth of being a star.

Although in Arashizm Ninomiya's concept was normally "something idle and laidback", this month we decided to
fully record the current "Ninomiya Kazunari" so it became shooting self-portaits. In front of the big camera
Ninomiya laughingly said [For a narcissist this must be the best form of expression ne] as he click-clicked
the shutter. Occasionally seriously, occasionally in jest. While shooting he talked about his being a "star"
in Berlin and Paris as part of the [Letters from IwoJima] campaign.
[Berlin was cold~. In terms of physical sensation, like a refrigerator (laughs). This despite saying, when I
was in transit from Frankurt after having flown there from Narita, that "I guess it's the same as Japan" cause
it didn't feel that cold... After that it was about an hour flight, and outside the window it was all white,
like "Huh?" (laughs). I guess it's the same difference between Tokyo and Hokkaidou? They let me fly first class
this time, first class is amazing! Because they spread a fold-out futon on the seats (laughs). On top of the fold-out
futon I read the drama script, I replied to a Singapore media email interview, although at some point I fell
asleep ne (laughs). I arrived at Berlin's Tegel airport and went right on to the press conference. What surprised
me the msot in Berlin was that they had the premier private screening at such a late hour. It was from about
11pm? I was worried about hoe the guests were going to get back home. Even though the private screening began
so late they gave us a standing ovation, I was extremely moved. Because what came across was that everyone
really revered director Clint (Eastwood). Oh that's right, when I was walking the red carpet I was shocked that
not just Japanese people but also local people were calling out "Nino!" But ne, it was like I was beginning to
think I was an Italian person (laughs). Since the name Nino was coming out first. In Berlin I looked at the
city...it was great that I was able to go to the site of the Berlin wall ne. Although, before that I made several
trips back and forth past it, I didn't realize until I was told (laughs). Other than that, at a place like a
stand-up cafe I ate curry sausage. Although it was a flavor like ordinary sausage with curry powder on it, they
said that in Berlin it was a major food item. Other then that, at the same Berlin Film Festival, I met [Tekkon
Kinkreet]'s director Mike (Michael Alias) and Ninagawa Mika and all 3 of us talked in my room. It seemed that
both of us were very busy. Mike laughingly said "I got Estonia to buy [Tekkon]". He said that in Estonia they
don't have a culture of dubbing, that there's a narrator who talks (giving explanations that match up to the
progress of the movie) while watching the movie. I also thought that was strange. After that, for the second
time in my life, as of "Jet Storm", I took a private jet from berlin to Paris.



When I did an interview in Paris
the reporter told me "Arashi is extremely popular in France". No one believes me, but he really did say that!
On top of which he also asked me "Won't you come do a tour in Europe?", local fans holding Idol magazines sold
in Japan opened to my page and said "Please sign this!", there were about 2 people who had uchiwas (laughs).
And those were little uchiwas with magazine clippings slapped on them. I thought they were made by learning from
watching others, but I was happy ne. Because Arashi is really amazing. I didn't think that our information made
it to Europe, so I was really surprised. What was interesting was when they introduced me at the press conference
as "Japan's Justin Timberlake". That's a problem for me (laughs). The director's wife was always saying that,
so I felt it was second-hand information (laughs). On top of which, every time his wife's eyes and mine would meet
she'd say "Nino's the best!". I don't get told that much so for the last half I made sure not to let our eyes
meet (laughs). In Paris I went to see the palace at Versailles. The rain and wind were incredible ne~. There,
for the first time in a bit I ran into a lot of Japanese people (tourists), somehow my tension went up. Really,
in Paris there were a lot of Japanese. They'd say "I watch [Haikei, Chichiue-sama]!" (smirk). Although this time
it was 5 days 3 nights it was an incredibly full trip, it was over in the blink of an eye. I bought souvenirs
for all the staff of my drama, I also bought different colored bags for everyone in Arashi...so, even though I
bought tons of souvenirs, by the time I realized it I hadn't bought anything for myself (laughs).]
It's been a whirlwind year since Ninomiya was picked to star in [Letters from IwoJima]. As an actor he is being
showered in attention even from overseas, and has probably grown on many fronts but...his true nature remains
as is. It's the unchanging Nino's self that was reflected in these self-portraits.

I think the best adjective to describe Nino here is 'irreverent';P Maybe permanently soXD But it's nice how he talked about the people in Paris with their tiny uchiwas, and asking for autographs (you said that was you winkychan?) But getting no souvenirs for yourself is just a shame;P</jl-cut>

Finally, to end this super-long post, I transcribed and translated one of the spoiler songs, Love Situation, from Time^^

Again, from the radio show, so I did my best:)

Totsuzen kimi kara no sasoi de

*****************************************

At your sudden invitation
I got lost putting on my shoes
embracing the feeling of just stepping down
the train slides on

the window's scenery is fluttering
your smile floats up to me
with the ticket to this impossible
happiness grasped tightly
the too good to be true love situation

someday anyone's wish will be granted
the turning seasons repeat
courage spreads dazzlingly in the city
and I will see you la la la

my heartbeat penetrates my chest
rides the wind and pours down
right now I want to share my happiness
with anything, anyone, anywhere

seeing your eyes right in front of mine
the inside of my head goes completely blank
I don't even think to use my
small stock of pride
the unlaughable love situation

there's always someone in a fog
pay the returning dearness forward
the twinkling of the stars can't
compare to your radiance la la la

my heartbeat penetrates my chest
and pours down from above you
always the gentle kindness, body warmth
and happiness, I want to give you everything

it doesn't matter if you don't say it
it doesn't compare to the power of loving right?
if you face your heart with those eyes
that's right, that's our shortcut
I'll expose my real self
I won't give up on loving
I'm beginning with those kind of eyes
little by little I want to get closer

someday anyone's wish will be granted
the turning seasons repeat
courage spreads dazzlingly in the city
and I will see you la la la

my heartbeat penetrates my chest
rides the wind and pours down
right now I want to share my happiness
with anything, anyone, anywhere

I like the introspectiveness of this song, and the imagery, very picturesque:3 And of course, I swoon for Jun's 'chikazukitai'<3<3 The others all get two lines and he only gets one word...but boy, that's all he needsXDDD This may be my favorite one yet (although I haven't heard any of the latest ones, so who knows;P), I really like how they capture different moods...I wonder what costumes they'll wearXDD Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do^^

そろそろ時間だよね！：Dそのような夏は一生一度ですから、本当にわくわくしています：３
