It's over...my two weeks of heavy schoolwork is over:3 And rather than feeling elated like I thought I would, I just feel more of a tired sense of relief;P Now I get a whole week without deadlinesXD And as a reward, tomorrow I'm going to go to the mall before work and see if I can buy the MonoKuroBoo slippers I've been thinking about for weeks now;P It's cold out, and they're super cute<3 I really want these ones <3<3<3 but I don't know if the store will have them cause they're new...*crosses fingers*>_< Other than that, I'm worried that I didn't do well on my linguistics test even though I studied all weekend:S But, I have to keep telling myself it's not the end of the world, there's always a chance to redeem myself...
Let's see, today I have the Shukudai-kun from 07.09.24 with Cunning Takeyama;P

Sho: But, they're a performer who's been talked about because they recently got married.
[writing: String?]
Ogura: That was a talked about thing?
Sho: It was ne?
Aiba: Yeah, it was.
Takeyama: Who cares!
Sho: So...
Nino: Oh, the tension today is unexpectedly low. (writing)
Sho: Today's guest is this person here, come on out~!
Jun: Go ahead!
[Announcer: This week it's a big fuss right from the start, Homework is beginning~!]
Sho: Today's guest is this person here, come on out~!
Jun: Go ahead!
Aiba: Go ahead!
Takeyama: Open it!
[writing: He's getting pissed off again today ne]
Sho: He's pissed off, he's pissed off;P (writing)
Nino: Hurry, hurry.
Takeyama: My getting married wasn't something talked about, so don't act like it was! (writing)
Nino: Oh, he's pissed off;P (writing)
Takeyama: I'm not pissed off! (writing)
Nino: Oh, again! Again...the second time?
Takeyama: I*'m telling you I'm not pissed off!
[writing: Today we'bve readied many tactics for the sake of getting Takeyama-san pissed off]
Nino: Get pissed off, get pissed off! (writing)
Aiba" Get more pissed off! (writing)
Takeyama: Pissed off is- you guys are younger than me! (writing) You guys are supposed to respect me!
Sho: Please have a seat over here.
Ogura: Go ahead, go ahead.
Takeyama: What the...
Nino/Aiba/Jun/Ohno: Get pissed off! Get pissed off! (writing)
Takeyama: What am I, a cockroach! (writing)
Nino: Amazing!
Takeyama: A cockroach you're calling a guest! No clapping! (writing) This is pathetic!
Ogura: Don't get so mad, come have a seat. (writing)
Takeyama: Uwa! What is this?! (writing)
Ohno: Get pissed off! (writing)
Takeyama: Your tactics are old! (writing)
[writing: Piss off tactic: a whoopee cushion]
Nino: Amazing.
Takeyama: No one does a whoopee cushion anymore!
Aiba: Ah, then sorry, we'll apologize for this, we apologize.
Ogura: it's fine isn't it? Ne?
Sho: Is there something...?
Takeyama: That's a weird tub ne! (writing)
Nino: It's not going to fall.
Takeyama: If you have it up there so it can fall on me you won't be able to film my reaction will you? This
is just the end of it.
[Announcer: Tonight, for the sake of Cunning Takeyama, there's a plethora of easily pissing off tactics. And
his kouhai reveals a lot about his new wedded life. They also try some minor sports, this might be more
fun than you'd think.]
Sho: Once again, today's guest is Cunning Takemoto-san, your favor please~! (writing)
[writing: Piss off trick: Messing up his name]
Takeyama: Wrong, wrong. Um, it's Takeyama!
Sho: That's right ne, today we went to the trouble of having the pissed-off performer Takemoto-san come in-
(writing)
takeyama: Takeyama!
[writing: Fast!]
Sho: Takeyama-san, yes.
Takeyama: Takeyama, it's Takeyama. Um, I'm not getting pissed off, I'm just letting you know! (writing) This
is just to let you know, it's Takeyama!
Sho: We had the pissed-off performer Takeyama-san come, so we readied a lot of tactics.
Takeyama: What do you mean tactics?
Sho: We'd like you to get as pissed off to your heart's content.
Takeyama: Putting that aside, doesn't that tub bother you! (writing)
Sho: Well then, Ogura-san, the first homework if you please.
Ogura: Do I have to?
[writing: Piss off tactic: A careless flow]
Takeyama: Ogura-san, please do it! Should I just go home? Arashi called me up, what's with that attitude?
(writing) This is how you're doing it?
[writing: He's feeding off himself ne]
Ogura: Homework from the guest for the audience, investigate and submit unusual and tasty hamburgers. (writing)
Aiba: You like hamburgers?
Ogura: You like hamburgers?
Takeyama: Well ne, hamburgers ne, well, after all everyone works right?
All: Yes.
Takeyama: When I'm super super hungry at lunch time, it ends up that what I really want to eat is a hamburger
(writing)
Aiba: This time ne, for the sake of Harisenbon's Kondou-san ne- (writing)
Takeyama: Takeyama!
[writing: Piss off tactic: Get his name wrong again]
Takeyama: Takeyama! Harisenbon and Cunning are also completely different!
Aiba: I'm not trying to deceive you.
Takeyama: That's without a doubt! (writing)
3:45
{the announcer says there were 140 submissions this time, and to eat the extra-large, high-quality, and
unusual hamburgers with gusto}
3:54
Aiba: Alright~, this would be the first hamburger.
Jun: Oh, here it is.
Aiba: There's no tricks in the hamburgers. Really, we'd like you to enjoy them to your heart's content. (writing)
Jun: So you can eat it without worry.
Nino: Because it's from the restaurant ne. (writing)
Aiba: it's from the restaurant. This is the first one, it's Japan's biggest hamburger! (writing) Here we go!
Sho: Uwa! Amazing!
Aiba: Since we Takeyama-san wants to eat until he's full, and because we didn't know what he liked, we just
got him the meat.
Ogura: You're saying he won't be picky about this?
Aiba: Takeyama-san, go ahead, please eat it.
Nino: Hurry hurry hurry! (writing)
Aiba: hurry up and eat it! Hurry and eat it!
Jun: Go ahead.
Takeyama: Have some common sense! This is impossible! You think this amount is going to fit in here!(writing)
[writing: It's 5 levels ne!]
Aiba: For Takeyama-san, when eating hamburgers chopsticks are okay right?
Takeyama: Chopsticks?
Ogura: With chopsticks, with chopsticks;P
Nino: If you cut this it'll just fall apart ne. (writing)
Aiba: That's right, so use these.
Takeyama: Despite that surely it would be easier to eat it with a fork.
Aiba: Chopsticks are better. (writing)
Takeyama: Wait a second. (writing)
Aiba: Huh? Takeyama-san-
Takeyama: They're not coming apart~! (writing)
Aiba: But they're just normal chopsticks ne.
Takeyama: They're not breaking like normal are they?
Nino/Ohno: Get pissed off! Get pissed off! (writing)
Takeyama: They're not comig apart. 'get pissed off, get pissed off' shut up~! So annoying~! (writing)
[writing: Up to this point 17 piss-offs]
Takeyama: What the heck's going on~.
Nino: Let's go with a knife and fork.
Aiba: With a knife and fork ne.
Sho: Aiba-kun, what kind o hamburger is this?
Aiba: Well ne-
Sho: Do they have this at the actual store?
Aiba: At the actual store it's 5000yen.
Jun: It's expensive!
Aiba: It's gross weight is 5kilos.
Takeyama: 5 kilos? I guess I'll try cutting it right down the middle. (writing)
Ohno: That's hard to cut.
Sho: Ne. He looks happy huh.
Takeyama: Look!
Sho: Ah, it looks delicious!
Aiba: Ah, but it looks incredibly delicious.
Takeyama: Thanks for the food.
Sho: Well, how does it taste?
Nino: Get pissed off! (writing)
Ogura: Surely that's impossible right now;P
Takeyama: How would I get pissed off eating something tasty! (writing)
Nino: Well, how does it taste? (writing)
Takeyama: It tastes delicious! (writing) What the heck!
[writing: Piss off tactic: rating his impressions of the food]
Aiba: Um, you see Takeyama-san...
Nino: That one was no good. It was no good.
Aiba: We need another impression, eat another bite.
Takeyama: Will the entire staff just cut it out! (writing)
Nino: One more time.
Aiba: Sorry, one more time.
Sho: How will it be?
Aiba: What does it taste like?
Sho: How's the taste?
Takeyama: Um, when you bite into it the juices just burst out, there's an incredible amount of sweetness,
this is delicious. (writing) Hey! Which am I supposed to say! (writing)
Nino: 'Which'?
Takeyama: What should my answer be? (writing) I have no idea what I should say. It's delicious.
Ohno: Ah, it's delicious as usual. (writing)
Takeyama: Wait a second, make the buzzer noise! (writing) make the buzzer noise! This just now has to have
been worse than mine! Why isn't there a buzzer! (writing)
Jun: Ah, it's incredibly tasty!
Takeyama: It's tasty ne?
Jun: Despite being this heavy, it's super tasty ne. There's plenty of juices too. (writing)
Takeyama: I said that! That's mine! That's mine! That's my one that failed. (writing)
Aiba: So, the next hamburger. This one ne, is a hamburger that doesn't use any meat at all!
Jun: Then what is it?
Sho: Ah~, interesting.
Aiba: this ne, is called a shrimp pre-burger.
Takeyama: A pre-burger?
Aiba: This is shrimp meat instead of meat, chopped and packed in with mayonnaise as a replacement for cheese.
Takeyama: Oh, it looks tasty ne! Thanks for the food.
Sho: How is it?
Takeyama: it's super tasty! It's overflowing with shrimp. (writing)
Aiba: Eh~, do you like this?
Takeyama: I love this! It's delicious! (writing)
Ogura: He~.
[writing: Indifference?]
Takeyama: Ah, Ogura-san, can you not do it properly... I know you're a veteran and all. (writing)
Ogura: I won't go 'boo'. (writing)
Takeyama: You won't boo me, but none of your 'he~' either. (writing) 'He~' is worse.
Ohno: Ah, this is tasty. (writing)
Aiba: Tasty ne.
Nino: Ohno-kun, that's unusual.
Ohno: This is tastier than the normal meat. (writing)
Sho: Ah, is that so.
Aiba: You haven't eaten that much of it, so this is the first time you've eaten it right?
Takeyama: This is tasty ne.
Ogura: It's new.
Nino: This is new.
Sho: Ah, it's juicy ne.
Nino: It's delicious ne.
Sho: Tasty ne.
Aiba: Next up ne...this is called a super celebrity hamburger. Before this I'll tell you the price- ah, it's
better not to say it ne. Let's go.
Nino: Yes.
Aiba: It's better not to say. Open it! On top of it there's foie gras and truffles!
Jun: Amazing, it's super high-quality.
Aiba: That's right. The price is 20 thousand yen.
Sho: After all, it's delicious when you eat truffles and foie gras together isn't it?
Takeyama: Ne, they're valuable ne.
Nino: Since you go to all this trouble ne.
TakeyamaL Thanks for the food, I'll have some with the foie gras.
Aiba: If you please.
Sho: How about it?
Takeyama: The meat is unbelievably tender ne. (writing) Come on! The tenderness of the foie gras comes out
too, the entire thing just oozes out ne. (writing) Eating it with the sauce makes it sweet.
[writing: What is the sauce?]
Ogura: As you would expect ne, as you would expect of Bambi.
Jun: It's incredibly sweet, what is this ne. (writing)
Ogura: Does it seem like they're using fruit? (writing) What could it be ne?
Jun: What could it be?
Ohno: It's kind of sweet ne. (writing)
Sho: They just said that!
Jun: Aren't you supposed to say it's tasty?;P
Takeyama: Sorry about this ne. Put some effort into it! (writing)
Sho: He got pissed off;P
Takeyama: Go forward, go forward! A little more! What was that just now, 'it's kind of sweet ne'. (writing)
I said that!
[for those who care, they used honey in the sauce;P]
Ogura: This is delicious! (writing)
Takeyama: Isn't it? It's delicious isn't it! To the point you get excited about it.
[writing: Here he is, the pissed off performer]
Jun: You got a little pissed off about it.
Ogura: This is delicious.
Takeyama: You;re excited ne.
Sho: Ogura-san got pissed off too. (writing)
Takeyama: If Ogura-san got pissed off ne, in real life it would be kind of scary. I'd want to say 'sorry,
sorry'. (writing) With veterans ne, it's better that they don't get pissed off that much ne. Because
if he really got pissed off it would be scary ne.
Sho: So Ogu-san, let's move along to the next homework.
Ogura: Yes. Image homework of Cunning Takeyama-san, 'what did you do last night?' (writing)
Sho: By the way, what did you actually do last night? (writing)
Takeyama: Last night I was drinking ne. (writing)
Sho: Ah, with who? (writing)
Takeyama: Um, at the beginning I was drinking with other performers, then in the middle of the night it was
just my Kami-san and I, kind of a middle of the might date ne. (writing)
[writing: Cool ne]
Aiba: What kind of places do you go?
Sho: What do you two call each other? (writing)
Takeyama: ...hm? (writing)
Sho: What do you...
Nino: Of course you heard it. You're the closest one. (writing)
Takeyama: I say 'Jun-chan'. (writing) That's the kind of person I am.
Nino: And what about her?
Takeyama: She calls me 'Take-chan'. (writing) That 'Jun-chan' you see, from the moment we met it's been
'Jun-chan', it's not to make it a lovey-dovey atmosphere. It feels like it solidified like
that. (writing)
Aiba: What's that all about?
[writing: Don't be embarrassed!]
Aiba: We're not really trying to get to the bottom of it.
Takeyama: Well, the people in the audience are saying [uwa~, gross] aren't they. (writing) I'm just saying
it's not like that.
Ogura: But, there aren't any people who speak badly of Takeyama-kun ne. (writing)
Aiba: Despite you getting that pissed off, you don't project a bad image ne. (writing) That's amazing.
Takeyama: No no, I'm bad. (writing)
Aiba: You're bad?;P
Takeyama: Super super bad, I mean in the dressing room I had a gun ne. (writing)
Aiba: Shouldn't you be going like this?;P
Nino: That's bad?
Takeyama: I really am bad. I knock down people on sight. I'm always fighting. I was thinking about knocking
down that director who was making the buzzer sound. (writing)
Ogura: Right now you're doing your darndest to reverse your character ne. (writing)
Takeyama: And I hate Arashi too ne. (writing)
Sho: Well then, a lot of images came in from the audience, Matsumoto-kun, if you please.
Jun: Yes, here I go. This is a submission from 'fatty four-eyes' in Fukuoka-ken.
Takeyama: Who could that be?
Jun: Last night Takeyama-san tried out new characters on a novice performer. (writing) Eh? Do you have new
characters? (writing)
Takeyama: No no...
Sho: I want to see that!
Aiba: I want to see that~! (writing)
Nino: We want to see it!
[writing: The new developments after the 'pissed off performer'?]
Takeyama: Wrong, wrong. There aren't any, there aren't any! There aren't any characters, I haven't really
tested any new characters.
Jun: I mean, it came in, 'testing new characters'. (writing)
Takeyama: Did they see it? (writing)
Aiba: Theoretically they did ne;P
[Announcer: in the end, what will the truth be? To discover it, we ask one of his kouhai some private questions.]
Staff: Introduce yourself. (writing)
Nakata: I'm Takeyama-san's driver, Love Couple's Nakata, your favor please. (writing)
[Announcer: And, his exclusive driver Nakata-san talks about a lot of embarrassing things in Takeyama-san's
life]
Staff: What does Takeyama-san do inside the car? (writing)
Nakata: Lately what's he's begun to do often is an impression exhibition. (writing)
[writing: In the middle of practicing impression characters]
Nakata: Like Antonio Inoki-san, Tamure Masato-san, Kondou Masahiko-san. Those kind of-
Takeyama: This is the worst.
Nakata: -um, impressions ne. But honestly, they don't seem like them at all. Though he might be planning on
displaying them somewhere...(writing)
Staff: Is he on good terms with his wife? (writing)
Nakata: For the most part Takeyama-san is the one who bows down. (writing)
[writing: An overbearing wife]
Nakata: But they are on good terms.
Staff: In what way on they on good terms? (writing)
Nakata: Let's see, um, he gets out of the tub completely naked and depends on her na incredible amount. He'll
get closer to her while saying 'touch my belly!'. While saying 'Jun-tan~!' he'll idle around, like
'touch it, touch it'. It's really gross.
Ohno: You wnat her to stroke your belly? (writing)
Takeyama: Um, uh...
Aiba: How is it?
Takeyama: That guy, that Nakata guy, he lives half the time at our place. (writing) The three of us get
along really well. So he often watches when I get out of the tub, so to make Nakata laugh ne,
I'll get out completely naked and, how do you say this...go 'bou~!'. Like 'Jun-tan~ Jun-tan~,
touch my stomach'. When he sees that Nakata laughs. He says 'that's gross', it's that kind of
game. (writing)
Aiba: But I kind of want to see them, those impressions. (writing)
Jun: The impressions.
Takeyama: The impressions too ne, you see ne, I'm not practicing them, this I recomment for everyone. You
have cars that drive you around right? You have times when you're more bored than you would
believe right? At those times that Nakata will be driving my car, and he'll be like 'from here
until we get where we're going, we have to talk completely as Inoki'. (writing) So then even Nakata,
while he's driving, will be like 'I'm shtopping at the light'. 'Go to the convenience store you
rascal~!' 'What are you buying you rascal!' (writing) It'll be completely like that for like 2-3
hours. Like 'today Inoki', or 'today Macchi'. (writing)
Sho: Takeyama-san, on a side note, do you have any strong points? (writing)
Takeyama: Strong points...?
Sho: Sports, or hobbies. (writing)
Takeyama: Um ne, in terms of strong points, table tennis ne. On a certain show three years ago I had to
do table tennis. I had them let me into a training camp for about a week. So then I became able
to do it to a certain extent, at the time I had someone from the national team teach me. Then
he told me that 'Takeyama-san's level right now is such that you could participate in a junior
high level tournament'. (writing)
[writing: Fairly skilled ne]
Takeyama: He paid me that compliment.
Sho: Actually, for Takeyama-san we found a slightly unusual form of table tennis. (writing) It's back, the minor
sports tournament~! So, please take a look. It's a kind of different set up than usual.
[writing: There's three round tables]
Sho: There are three tables lined up in this sport. It's actually a sport called 'island ball'. So, what kind
of sport is this?
Sadazumi: This ne, um, was previously table tennis ne, but there's three platforms ne. It doesn't matter
which one you hit it to. (writing)
[writing: You can free hit back and forth]
Sadazumi: That's the same for everyone, you can hit it wherever you choose.
15:11
{the announcer says this is a new version of table tennis where 3 people play; everyone starts with 3 points,
and if you reach 0 you lose; you can serve or receive in any direction; you can choose to focus only on on
person if you like}
15:24
Aiba: Yes, sensei, question.
Sadazumi: Yes, go ahead.
Aiba: Why is there a hole here? (writing)
Sho: Ah, that's right.
Sadazumi: That ne, actually that's the key point. (writing)
Aiba: Oh, the key point.
Sho: Oh, this point.
Sadazumi: Um, they call this the 'miracle hole' ne. (writing)
[writing: Miracle?]
Sho: This is the 'miracle hole'??
Takeyama: You call this the 'miracle hole'?;P
Sadazumi: With this ne, when you hit it ne, when it goes right in, the person who gets it in wins! (writing)
[writing: If you get it in the hole it's an instant victory and the game is over]
Sho: It's a miracle! (writing)
Ogura: Yeah, that's a miracle all right!
Sho: Well tehn, I'd like to move along to the game... (writing) Since doing it normally wouldn't be interesting,
we've prepared a punishment! (writing)
takeyama: This much, this punishment is fairly harsh isn't it!
Aiba: There's mustard, weird faces, kissing face, impressions, being hit by a fan by everyone, and just one
safe zone here.
Sho: So, who's going to do it? It would be better if Nino did it right. (writing)
Aiba: That's right, he should do it.
Sho: You were always playing table tennis ne. (writing)
Nino: I was. (writing)
[writing: Experienced Table tennis player Ninomiya will participate]
Takeyama: He did it?
Aiba: We get it.
Takeyama: Then you must be good.
Sho: One more, who will do it? (writing)
Aiba: One more- I'm completely no good at table tennis. (writing)
Jun: What if you did it Riidaa?
Ohno: I'm completely no good too. (writing)
Sho: Then I'll do it. (writing)
Aiba: Alright;P
Takeyama: Alright!
[writing: Are you okay with it being a sport?]
Nino: Why do you always have sucha desire to do it?
16:28
{the announcer says it's the first annual island ball tournament, who will wind up with the punishment? this
time they all have 5 points}
16:37
Aiba: Takeyama-san, you all have 5 points.
Takeyama: Eh, right now I have 5 points. (writing)
Sho: This is kind of embarrassing.
Takeyama: Alright. Oh, hey, uwa~!
Nino: One point~;P
Takeyama: Well well, it's just the beginning, I'll get bakc into the swing of things.
Nino: I have 5 points. (writing)
Sho: This is kind of embarrassing huh.
Takeyama: Why is it me?! (writing) Alright! Alright!
Aiba: You're good, you're good!
Ohno: He's good~. (writing)
Aiba: You're good, you're good, watching was kind of fun. Amazing ne, his realm of movement is impressive.
(writing)
Sho: I was like 'where's it going to come from, where's it going to come from?!';P
Takeyama: Ican be amazing at this.
Nino: You have to say how many points you have.
Sho: I have 4 points.
Takeyama: this one's mine huh. No way!
Ogura: 5 - 4 - 3.
Jun: 5 - 4 - 3.
Aiba: Ah, Takeyama-san has only a little more-
Takeyama: I have 3 points.
Nino: Let's go.
Takeyama: It's definitely me. It's me, no matter what. (writing) Hey, that one just now wasn't my fault was
it sensei?
Sadazumi: That was his (sakurai's) miss. (writing)
Takeyama: A miss! Alright~!
Sadazumi: Um, you don't have to say 'I have x points', you can just say '4 points'.
Nino: Ah, is that so?
Takeyama: Just the number is fine.
Sadazumi: Just the number is fine.
Nino: 5 points.
Sadazumi: Oh, it's in the net! (writing)
Sho: Excuswe me!
Sadazumi: That's safe.
[writing: In the net is safe]
Sadazumi: It was in it ne.
Ogura: In the net.
Sadazumi: It was in the net.
[Announcer: Even if it hits the net, as long as it hits the opponent's territory it's safe]
Nino: Huh, that was Sakurai-san's-
Takeyama: Huh, this good work right?
Sho: I have 2 points.
[Announcer: this time the ball hit the edge of the table and fell, the one who loses a point is it Takeyama
or Ninomiya?]
Aiba: How about that just now? (writing)
sadazumi: This is an edge-ball ne, it's out! (writing)
Ohno: It's no good.
Jun: Out! Out!
Takeyama: Why are you cutting me with your racket like that?;P
Nino: Everyone's missing the miracle ne.
Sadazumi: Don't do that normally ne. (writing)
Takeyama: I didn't do it on purpose.
Sadazumi: Is that so?
Takeyama: If I get it in this miracle hole the game is over and I win? (writing)
Ogura: You win, you win.
Sadazumi: If you get it in on a serve you lose. (writing)
Takeyama: Ah, if you get it in on a serve?
Sho: That's the strongest part!
Takeyama: The serve is no good!
Jun: You should say that sooner!
Ogura: If you get it in on a serve it's no good.
Nino: This is hard!
Takeyama: You have to get it in the miracle hole while volleying ne. (writing)
sadazumi: How many points? How many points? Announce it. (writing)
Takeyama: I'm saying it right now! (writing) Right now is when you say it. 2 points! (writing) Stop it!
Stop it!
Aiba: You're good, you're good.
Ogura: It's out, it's out.
Takeyama: Alright!
aiba: Oh, Takeyama-san, you were panicking!
Sho: This is bad, Nino hasn't even lost one point.
Takeyama: Ah, it's true! Ah, let's go after him.
Nino: 5 points!
Jun: He's really coming on strong huh.
Takeyama: It's me isn't it.
Aiba: A good fight, a good fight.
Nino: A good fight, a good fight.
Takeyama: I'm in reach now, this is bad. I'm in reach.
Sho: Takeyama-san, there's nothing left but to do it. (writing)
Takeyama: I'm not doing this for tv. (writing)
Nino: Announce your points.
Ohno: Cause it's constantly changing.
Sho: 1 point.
Takeyama: You;re fast! Oh, scary, scary! Alright!
Ogura: Alright!
Nino: Takeyama-san ne, just now you were turning around like usual. (writing) This guy's head-
Sho: He's very basic when he's serious huh.
Takeyama: 1 point.
Aiba: he's stumbling all over the place!
Takeyama: This is a little-
[writing: Cunning Takeyama gets the punishment!]
Takeyama: that was fast!
Jun: So, that would mean...a punishment?
Aiba: That's right ne.
[Announcer: Wht will he get?]
Jun: Okay, here we go.
Aiba: Takeyama-san's punishment.
Takeyama: I'm super scared.
Aiba: Let's go!
Jun: Eh?!
Takeyama: Wait wait, why is it falling off? Why is it falling off? (writing) The contents on this one are
completely different.
[writing: A punishment whee; prepared for Takeyama-san]
Aiba: Takeyama-san, you cna stop it. (writing)
Takeyama: Air Sumo!
Sho: Air Sumo!
Jun: So, that would mena that it's Air Sumo;P
Sho: Ah~, this'll be amazing.
Takeyama: Wrong, wrong, first of all, there's the fact that when thi was spinning it fell off. (writing)
I don't know what kind of miracle that was. Also, what are the contents of this one? (writing)
Jun: Air Sumo; whispering loving words to your wife into the camera; getting mad at the dolls behind us;
a punching bag with hot water inside it; instantly ripping your leg hair off with tape.
Aiba: And an unflinching personal revelation. There were those too ne.

Aiba: Yes, if you please~
Takeyama: Drop it! Drop it!

Aw, I was hoping they'd do more to piss him off;P My favorite one has to be the chopsticks, cause even I didn't see that one comingXD And Sho came dangerously close to one of those awful punishments, but is it just me or did Nino's last volley make it clear he was holding back the whole time?=) He must be really good...Also, I like when Jun tried to taste the sauce to see what kind it was, and then didn't knowXD The air sumo could have been a little better though...O_o Well, hopefully next week's episode will be better, sometimes Shukudai-kun can be a little slow ne?^^;

It was -10 celsius today, I had to dig out my winter coat!XD So, today's article, from Nov. Wink-Up has lots of warm hats;P

[Talk about numbers that intrigue you]
Favorite number...? I don't have one. Not at all. A number I always choose? I don't have one ne~. Conversely,
I try not to choose. Yeah, I don't have one. Numbers huh...Ah! Well ne, I often see things in fours. Like
4:44. Although I normally don't look at my watch much, there are a lot of times when I'll decide to look at
my watch in the middle of the night and it will say 4:44 ne. It's not 1:11, 2:22, or 3:33, for some reason
it's 4:44 ne. Also, something like 12:34. That's what comes to mind when you tell me to think of a story relating
to numbers I suppose. There's nothing that makes just one number by itself come to mind. I like them all, I
hate them all. Although, a long time ago when I played baseball I used to really like 2 because that was the
catcher's number. Also, I don't really like the Chinese number symbols. Like when I'm writing an email I will
definitely not use the Chinese number symbols. Although that's like 'so what?' (laughs). If someone said
[Choose your favorite number!]? ...I wouldn't choose (laughs). If I were to put one as the strongest? What
would it be...[100]. The reason? Nothing in particular. Because a 100yen coin came up just now (laughs).
[Regarding your recent conditions]
Tomorrow the Dome rehearsals begin, in terms of recent conditions it would be the tour. Looking back on this
summer's tour? No...I won't look back (laughs). Right now I don't want to look back yet. Because the DOme
isn't finished yet, because I haven't got the feeling like 'this is it!' ne. When speaking in terms of that
Dome performance, this year we have 2 in the Dome ne. That's something amazing~, I'm thankful. Although it's
not really because of sticking to a number, if you include this Dome performance, in just this year alone
we've gone over a million people they say. Upon hearing that, after all you can think [Ah~, we did a lot of
concerts huh]. We made a lot of people see us huh~...a million is amazing ne. Because it's not like we instantly
got a million people in the first concert. So that's why it's kind of...thing spile up like this from time
to time is the sensation, but once again thinking 'we did that many live performances'. And after all, I think
being able to finish off the tour at the Dome is interesting... And this year's tour as well we were able to
go to places like Kagoshima for the first time ne. Yeha, it was incredibly fun. I want to look forward to the
last Dome performance as well ne.
About my birthday? On the day there was a live performance in Hamamatsu, I got various things from the members
...that's right, like a dressing gown, brandy glasses...a 'dandy' set (laughs). Then, after that...I met with some
high school friends. I went back to Tokyo from Hamamatsu, because they said everyone was meeting up for the
first time in ages. I went there and we went drinking. Was there something other than that? Because lately
I haven't done anything at all (laughs). Also, I tidied up the house. I mean...as you would expect, it has
to be done! I thought. Really ne, lots of clothes came out. A lot of super nostalgic clothes appeared (laughs).
The green sweater I'd been looking for forever too, I found it! A lot of things...I divided those up, and
diposed of the ones I don't need, I organized my CDs and document-type things as well...it still isn't all
done yet, I'm still in the process of organizing it. Doing that ne, as you would think it's nostalgic, interesting
things appeared as well. That as welll, um ne...things like old V6 and KinKi CDs, the old 8cm poem-style
singles appeared, also the Junior directory came out. I was really looking at these things. It was fun (laughs).
Other than that, there was a gathering at a friend's house. My friend's house has 2 stories, and we started
saying 'let's have some fireworks!'. Although at first we were doing sparklers on the veranda, but then we
felt like 'it's kind of tiresome huh', so because we were going to do it outside I went down from the veranda
ne. When I did that...I scraped my arms (laughs).




Wow, when you put it that way it is kind of amazing...a million people, just in the Dome concerts aloneO_o I'm so glad they have the pull to bring in that kind of crowd, I feel like their dream of reaching the top gets closer every year<3 And it's cute that he was going through all his old stuff, I love that...but it takes forever and you end up keeping way more than you get rid of, and the cycle begins anewXD I wonder what green sweater it was though...;P Silly boy, sliding down the side of house while drunk!>_< Yes, here's my darling, the super-idol Matsumoto Jun...XD




Aw~, so cute!!!XDDD *wants to squeeze him*;P

And, I caught sight of this while sifting through some of the new scans, it's from Oct 26th TV Guide...it's just perfect:3



"You're all not alone. Because I'm here...because Arashi, the five of us are here" [For me, for "the power of words" the most impactful word is [Dream]] says the MatsuJun who is thankful for all the dreams he's had granted up until now through Arashi. [From now on as well, go along with our dream. It would be great if we could gather together and smile again.]
{The incomparable smile he shows the fans} {MatsuJun's solo, which changes tone every time. Cute style? He gets everyone built up to the highest level during the Yabai call as well} {MatsuJun walks on the ceiling (?)The masterpiece MJ walk is even doing well at the Dome!}

That one line is enough to make me happy...and grateful:3 That really is the power of words, that one phrase, so simply put, can move the heart of someone on the other side of the world...I think we little realize just how powerful words are. Simply by saying, "I love you" you can change two lives; by saying "I won't give up" you give yourself the strength to go on, whether you have it or not; by saying little words like "thank you" and so many others the world becomes something subtly different, but all those little differences add up to something beautiful. I know without a doubt there are words that we have stored in our hearts from very long ago that we hold tightly and treasure whenever we remember them, but I wonder if the person who said them had any idea what effect they would have...I think that some of the most precious words I can think of are "you're not alone">_< Thank you Jun, thank you Arashi<3 I'll follow your dream as far as it goes and beyond^^

Well, that's it for this week, now I'd like to let my brain rest a little and watch more Tantei Gakuen Q and work on my scarf;P Btw, Jotei is an awesome dorama if anyone's bored, Tantei is cute too^^ I will make sure to reply to all the comments that have built up tomorrow, gomen ne!>_< I have to apologize for getting overly sentimental, I get these moods sometimes;P Lately I am holding on to the little bubbles of joy in life...laughing giddily at the beautiful blue sky and the glint of the sun, the serenity of watching the winking moon through the pink and purple clouds of sunset, the feeling that my heart could take flight as I hold out my arms and let the overpowering wind practically hold me up...this is what I think it is to 'enjoy everyday', Jun's catchphrase that somehow has become my own. But take care this week as well minna, whatever your weather find one of those moments where the world fills you with wonder and smile with your whole heart=)
