[ENG SUB] ANS 2012.07.28 - Arashi VS Kanjani8: Who Is The Real Johnny's Idol

Totally random subbing...

I don't sub according to date... I just sub according to what I watch first... : ) There's a mighty big chance that the videos I'm releasing have also been done by other fansubbers but that's fine. I may be wasting my time... Well, what a wonderful way to waste time! : ) Oh and sorry for the slow subbing pace. I'm sort of a one man team here. I sub, time, encode, and upload, do everything on my own.

Here's one of my favorite episodes of Arashi ni Shiyagare. Douzo~

Note: Some subtitles from the streamed videos are missing. I'll try to fix it and I will upload the fixed vid to a file storage site later. I'll post the links here once I've done that.

[Translations - Mag] Ohno - Only Star 2009.07 [ENGLISH]

Magazine: Only Star 
Date of Interview: 2009.07.27 
Interviewee: Ohno Satoshi 
Language: Tagalog 

Q: If you could swap bodies with Nino for an hour, what would you do with his body?
A: Okay, what to do huh? I'd ride a boat and set out to fish. I just want to know if I'd get seasick cuz Nino gets that. (^_^) Maybe I'd get to know how bad he feels every time he boards a boat.


Q: There are a lot of questions here about Nino. What part of Nino do you like most?
A: Everything! What am I saying? (^_^) (Ohno shows his stuff with Nino's face pasted on it) Look at this. He put that there.(^_^) (Then he pointed out Nino's game console with a sticker of his face) We both have each other's faces stuck to our stuff.


Q: You two are very close. (^_^) Are there things that you haven't told your groupmates yet?
A: None, I guess. I tell them everything.


Q: If you were made to choose, who would you choose as the assistant leader of Arashi?
A: Well I don't really have a lot of work to require an assistant though. (^_^) But if I were to choose, I'd choose Sho. He's responsible and dependable.


Q: What's your favorite line from the song 'Everything'?
A: (This interview was done last summer) The song's beat is perfect for summer. It's light. My favorite line would be "Hashire! Hashire!" (Go! Run!) I feel good listening to it.


Q: You've starred in several dramas already ang you're hosting variety shows right now, do you watch the shows you appear in?
A: With dramas, production lets us watch the freshly edited takes. I like watching those cuz I get to understand the drama better. Sometimes I do watch our variety shows. (^_^)


Q: When and where do you memorize your lines?

A: Usually at home, in my room. There are times that I'd say the lines while practising, but I don't really know how I memorize my lines, it just happens. (^_^).


Q: There was a time that you said you wanted to be a host (as in from a host club) but you said that it seemed hard to be one because you had to know how to read women's thoughts.
A: Yes, I don't really know why but I did say that. The job seems interesting. (^_^)


Q: Do you know how to make women happy?
A: Of course... not! (^_^). I don't even know how to haggle! Women are too puzzling for me.

[Translations - Mag] Ohno - Only Star 2009.07 [TAGALOG]

Magazine: Only Star 
Date of Interview: 2009.07.27 
Interviewee: Ohno Satoshi 
Language: Tagalog 

Q: Kung pwede kayong magswap ng katawan ni Nino sa loob ng isang oras lang, anong gagawin mo habang nasa katawan ka ni Nino?

A: Ano nga kayang gagawin ko? Sasakay akong barko tapos mangingisda. Gusto ko lang malaman kung naging si Nino ako, makakaramdam pa rin kaya ako ng seasickness? (^_^) Siguro pag nagkapalit kame ng katawan ni Nino malalaman ko na kung gaano kahirap yung pinagdadaanan nya pag nasiseasick sya.


Q: Ang daming tanong tungkol kay Nino. Ano kay Nino ang gustong-gusto mo?
A: Lahat. Ay ano ba yung sinasabi ko? (^_^) (Pinakita ni Ohno samin yung gamit nya na may nakadikit na mukha ni Nino) To, sya yung nagdikit nito eh. (^_^) (Tapos tinuro nya yung game console ni Nino na may nakadikit namang picture nya) Pareho kaming may nakadikit na picture sa gamit ng isa't isa.


Q: Close naman nyo (^_^). Meron ka bang hindi pa nasasabi sa mga kagrupo mo?
A: Parang wala. Lahat naman kase nasasabi ko sakanila.


Q: Kung papipiliin ka, sino ang pipiliin mong assistant leader sa mga kagrupo mo?
A: Wala rin naman masyadong trabaho ang leader eh. (^_^) Pero kung papipiliin ako, si Sho ang pipiliin ko. Kase si Sho, matino saka talaga namang maasahan.


Q: Anong linya sa kantang 'Everything' ang pinakapaborito mo?
A: (Summer kasi kinunan yung interview) Di ba kase magaang pakinggan yung kanta saka medyo summer ang beat. Kaya bagay na bagay sya ngayong summer. Pagdating naman sa favorite phrase ko, gusto ko yung last part yung 'Hashire! Hashire!' (Takbo lang ng takbo!) kase ang ganda lang sa pakiramdam.


Q: Ilang beses ka naring nagbida sa mga dramas saka naghohost din kayo ng sarili nyong variety shows. Pinapanuod mo ba yung dramas saka variety shows na nilalabasan mo?
A: Masmadami ata yung napanuod ko yung drama after magawa ng production kesa sa mapanuod ko sya sa tv. Maganda ding napapanuod ko yung output kase naedit na yun, masmadali nang intindihin yung drama pag ganun. Pagdating naman sa variety shows, minsan nanunuod ako (^_^).


Q: Twing kelan saka san ka nagmememorize ng lines mo sa drama?
A: Madalas sa kwarto ko sa bahay. May times na binibigkas ko talaga yung lines para mamemorize ko pero hindi ko kase masyadong napapansin kung paano ako nagmememorize kaya di ko din alam kung pano (^_^).


Q: Mukhang mahirap maging hosto dahil nga kelangan nababasa mo yung nasa isip ng kliyente mo. Pero di ba nasabi mo minsang gusto mong maging isang hosto?
A: Oo. Hindi ko alam pero dati gusto kong maging hosto. Mukha kasing nakakatuwa yung trabaho. (^_^)


Q: Tingin mo ba alam mo kung pano mapapasaya ang mga kababaihan?
A: Sobrang... hinde (^_^). Ni hindi ko kayang makipagtawaran. Parang puzzle ang mga kababaihan eh.

Ang Pagbabalik

Kumusta naman!

Pagkatpos ng pagkatagal-tagal kong pananahimik, ako po ay nagbabalik. Talagang hinahanap-hanap ng katawan ko ang pag update ng blog na to.

Para dun sa mga naghahanap ng subs, mukhang makakapagsub na uli ako. Makakaupload narin ako ng subs ko kaso nga lang, malamang sa malamang, sa d a i l y m o t i o n ko nalang maaupload ang mga gawa ko.

Matagal ko ring pinag-isipan kung kelangan ko pa ba silang iupload sa mga online file storage. Hanggang sa maisip kong wag na.

Lahat sila Tagalog hardsubs. Walang English sa ngayon. Pinag-iisipan ko palang kung maga-upload ako ng English. Basta yung magupload ko na sa Tagalog, baka hindi ko na gagawan ng English version.

Meron na akong unang installment na nakasalang sa d a i l y m o t i o n. Inaantay ko nalang na maprocess sya. Pagkatapos nun, ready to link na ako. Walang passwords, walang restrictions. Basta kung san masmapapakalat ang kaadikan sa mga mamang ito, dun ako. winkwink.

[NEWS] 2012 24-Hour Main TV Personality

This is almost a month old... I just watched the New Year Special of Arashi ni Shiyagare and all throughout the show they were showing a clip of the five with a voice over saying "Arashi has a very important announcement to make". I got a little scared cuz I thought they were about to say goodbye or something cuz they looked serious.

The announcement was far from saying goodbye. This March, they will again be the main personalities for the network's 24-hour tv.

That means more Arashi for us fangirls. ^^,)>

Great start for them. After their Kokuhaku stint, this comes next. I'll never get tired of these guys. ^^,

24 Hour TV 2012 Main Personality

Kinabahan naman ako dun sa important announcement na meron ang Arashi sa New Year Special ng Arashi ni Shiyagare (ngayon ko lang napanood)... Akala ko naman mawawala na yung show... Yun pala super good news yung important announcement nila dahil sa March, makakasama nanaman natin sila ng isang buoooong araw sa 24-hour TV dahil sila nanaman ang main personality. Ang ganda ng start ng taon. ^^,)>

Excited na tuloy ako mag-March.

[ENGLISH TRANSLATION] Arashi ni Shiyagare EP 073 (2012.12.17)

"Encounters with The Uknown SP"

There are a lot of little funny parts from this episode especially Aiba's failed dish, Sho's duffle joke, the guys ignoring Ohno, and Nino's encounter with a cowboy.

It might take me forever to time and encode this so I'll just share my translation/interpretation instead. ^^, This is almost a month old so I guess other subbers have already released their versions. You can use my translations as long as you link back or credit. ^^,

T/G/A = text/guest/emcee (the tags I used are mixed up but for non-Arashi lines, I used these tags.)

T: First Challenge
T: Aiba Masaki meets a man who knows everything about winter
Aiba: Oh! Scuse me.
T: Exploring the world of the unknown
Aiba: Hello!
G: Bonjour mon shu
Aiba: Hi! I'm Aiba
Aiba: Scuse me.
G: Hello.
Aiba: Nice to meechu. Masaki Aiba.
G: Nice to meet you. My name's David Bran.
Aiba: Huh?
G: My name's David Bran.
Aiba: Huh?
G: David Bran. I'm from France.
Abia: Oh you're French. That explains the french bread.
G: Mr. Aiba
Aiba: Yeah?
G: What do you usually eat for breakfast?
Aiba: I usually eat fried egg, rice, and miso soup for breakfast.
G: For us, we eat french toast.
Aiba: Hah!
Jun: Do they really eat that?
G: Do you like french toast?
Aiba: Yeah! Wow!
T: David Bran was a chef at a restaurant in Paris called 'Alain Ducasse' before he became the head chef at the Grand Hyatt here in Japan. Let's see how this man prepares his french toast.
Aiba: My mother used to make french toast for me when I was small.
G: Really?
Aiba: Just yeasterday, I was craving for french toast. I was thinking of eating one.
G: We don't call it "french toast" in France. In french, it's called 'pain perdu' which means 'lost bread'
** lost bread = stale bread
G: It's like a magic trick that turns stale bread into a delicious dish.
Aiba: I see!
G: And I'm...
Aiba: Yeah?
G: gonna teach that magic trick to you.
Aiba: Really?
G: So... cooking...
Aiba: Cooking? Okay! Let's cooking! I'm glad that we're doing french toast.
Sho: French toast is perfect for breakfast.
Jun: Sure is.
Aiba: What's the first step?
G: First is we take a 2-day old bread.
Aiba: We're going to use old bread?
G: This is a mixture of milk, egg, and sugar. You're gonna dip that piece of bread into this.
Aiba: Can I?
G: Okay. Ah! Wait! Oh, go ahead. Ah! No! No! No!
Aiba: What? What? What?
G: First, you have to 'presse'
Aiba: 'Presse'?
G: Presse means to squeeze.
Aiba: You mean 'press'?!
G: Press
Aiba: Press
G: Press, like this
Aiba: Press huh
G: And then... Again
Aiba: Should I let go? So you have to press it huh?
G: Normally, you have to soak the bread in the mixture for 30 minutes.
Aiba: 30 minutes?!
G: But we don't have much time in the morning right? So pressing it would make the process much faster.
Aiba: It absorbs more that way.
G: Sugar.
Aiba: Sugar?
G: Sprinkle some
Aiba: That much?
G: And then fry it.
Aiba: Okay. Put in the butter
G: Put in the butter and fry the bread
Aiba: It looks quite hard to tell when to flip the bread right? Woah! Cool!
Jun: It looks quite hard to do.
Aiba: Is it better to cook it til it looks a little burnt?
G: Yes.
G: Fry it for about 3-4 minutes
Aiba: That fast huh. That's why it's perfect for breakfast.
G: That's right.
Aiba: Looks delicious!
G: Ah!
Aiba: Huh?
G: It's not yet done.
Aiba: Oh not yet?
G: Lastly, we make our own sauce.
T: Next will be Chef Bran's special sauce recipe that everyone can try doing at home.
Aiba: What's that?
G: Strawberry jam and... Vinegar... balsamic
Aiba: You're gonna put vinegar? Wouldn't it be a little sour?
G: Sour?
Aiba: Isn't it sour?
G: Taste it.
Aiba: This one
Nino: Like he had choices.
Aiba: What's this?! It's delicious!
Aiba: Can I try it?
G: Do you want to?
Aiba: I do! You made it in front of my eyes! Of course I want to try it. Can I?
G: Go ahead.
Sho: Looks delicious!
Aiba: It's delicious!
Abia: It's not too sweet.
G: Yes.
Sho: That's a big one!
Nino: This guy's not thinking. He can't talk with all those stuffed in his mouth!
G: Please try cooking this for the other members of Arashi.
Aiba: Okay. I'll try to make a good one.
Aiba: Let's cooking!
T: Aiba is now in the cooking studio where he's about to make the best french toast in this planet.
T: He dips a 2-day old bread into the milk mixture. Then sprinkles enough sugar to brown the french toast.
Aiba: Okay. Putting them in.
G: The fire should be low from here on.
Aiba: Shit! It's burnt!!!
G: The heat's too high.
Aiba: It smells burnt!
Aiba: This is so hard.
T: The french toast is a bit burnt. After adjusting the fire, he starts mixing the sauce.
Aiba: Balsamic vinegar...
G: Ah! That's too much! It should be just a tablespoon.
Aiba: I added too much vinegar.
T: Aiba's slight carelessness showed through this dish. Definitely a french toast prepared by a man. How does it taste? To taste the dish we invited...
Sho: What's this?
Aiba: Welcome!
T: Sho Sakurai who blends in well with the image of morning in Paris.
Sho: first time I heard that.
Aiba: Thank you for waiting!
Sho: You're welcome!
Aiba: Your breakfast sir.
Sho: Thank you.
Aiba: Ah, please go ahead and open it.
Sho: What could it be?
Aiba: Paa! There you go.
Sho: What's this?
Aiba: It's our special french toast made from french bread.
Sho: Yeey! I love french toast!
Aiba: Right? Right?
Sho: I love french toast but... in this color?!
Aiba: Please try it first.
Sho: Yeah, right.
Aiba: He's going! He's going! Might not be able to stop talking after this... without a single word
Sho: It's good!
Aiba: Is it?
Sho: Maybe it's the balsamic... It was sour at first but the strawberry jam... Kaaaa~! Kaaaaa~! What's this? What's this burnt thing? I think I'm the one exploring the world of the unknown here.
G: By adding more vinegar he was able to conceal the bitterness of the slightly burnt bread.
Aiba: Oh! I see. That could also work huh?
G: I'll give Mr. Aiba 70 points. Please do visit our restaurant and try our delicious french toast and cafe ole.
H: All the other members can now taste Aiba's french toast.
Aiba: I haven't prepared the sauce yet. I'm gonna do it now.
Nino: I don't need the sauce.
Aiba: Nope. You definitely have to put some.
Sho: The balsamic makes it taste like it's from a restaurant
Aiba: That's right.
Jun: the balsamic
Aiba: How do you feel today? I'm gonna base this on how you guys feel today
Sho: Do you remember last time? You put a handful when you should've just added a pinch?
Aiba: Yes. If I had to stick to the recipe, it would be just a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.
Jun: But even that looks a bit too much.
Sho: Yeah it does.
Aiba: 1 tablespoon.
Nino: You won't know if you're not adnevturous.
Aiba: I'll just put some sauce it tastes really good with the sauce. Riida. Okay!
Sho: What do you think, Matsujun?
Jun: Mmy-yu!!!
** mmy-yu = yummy
Sho: Yummy~!!!
Ohno: It's good!
Aiba: Honestly, what's the difference between this one and the one I made for you before?
Sho: They're totally different dishes!
Aiba: Is that so?
T: Let's head on to our next challenge.
T: Next up
T: Something to wear this winter
Nino: Huh? Something to wear?
T: Let's head on to the world of the unkown!
T: Exploring the world of the unknown
Sho: Hello!
G: Take a seat.
Sho: Thank you.
G: Go ahead.
Sho: Hello sir. I'm Sakurai.
G: Nice to meet you. I'm Toshiyuki Kurosu.
Sho: Very pleased to meet you.
G: Do you know what the word 'ivy' stands for?
Sho: I've heard the word before.
G: But you don't know that it's also a fashion style right?
Sho: Is that what you're wearing right now?
G: Yes
Sho: So you mean it's about duffle coats?
G: Very good.
Sho: Oh thank you. I love duffle coats.
G: Huuuh? Seriously?
Sho: Yes
Sho: I really love them. It's cute.
G: I'm too old to be cute!
Sho: Of course not!
T: Fashion critic Toshiyuki Kurosu... The man behind the Ivy League fashion boom in the 60s. The former Strategic Planning Head of 'VAN'... An expert on duffle coats since the 40s... Let's learn the skills of choosing a good duffle coat
G: You know I bought this in 1972
Sho: Really?!
G: I've been wearing it for 40 years now.
Sho: That long?!
Jun: Still looks brand new.
G: Cuz it doesn't easily wear out.
Sho: If you take care of it
G: I guess we all stop wearing clothes not because they're worn out but because we've grown tired of them. For people like me, I choose clothes that I could wear for 40-50 years cuz if I don't, I might get tired of wearing it. Would you like to know a surefire way on how to choose a good duffle coat?
Sho: I'd be more than glad to know.
G: Really?
Sho: Yes.
Aiba: Surefire way huh?
G: First, you have to be particular about the toggle. The main point of this is the toggle. This is called the toggle. Duffle coats were originally worn by fishermen during the cold seasons. This one's leather but back then, they used ropes. This one is made from carabao horn but back then, they used wood. That was how they made duffle coats back then. During the winter season, fishermen would wear this. And since they're wearing gloves, they'd have an easier time unbuttoning their duffle coats with the help of the toggles.
Sho: So it was rather functional?
G: Exactly.
Sho: Yes. And when the second world war broke out, the English bought that idea and used it as uniform for the navy.
G: It's quite a stylish uniform.
Sho: It's chic.
G: Right? I'd like you to find a duffle coat that you could use for the rest of your life.
Sho: This winter, I'm thinking about having a duffle coat image.
G: That'd be great.
Sho: Aaaah! It's cooo~ld! That's right! I'm gonna go buy a duffle coat! duffle duffle duffle duffle! Aaah! I'm here! duffle duffle duffle
T: Sho's currently at the 'Amber Coat' the shop in Harajuku recommended by Mr. Kurosu.
Nino: Isn't it class?
T: A specialty shop frequented by ivy connoisseurs. Mr. Sakurai's hunt for a timeless duffle coat beings.
Sho: Excuse me.
G: Welcome!
Sho: Do you have a duffle coat?
G: Yes, we do. This way sir.
Sho: Duffle~~
Sho: First, I'd like a camel colored coat please.
G: Yes sir.
Sho: This part right?
G: Yes sir. We also have some over there.
Sho: Oh! Okay I'll take this one first.
G: We can expect great things from this.
Sho: They're both duffle coats but they look different. And... This is the toggle right?
G: Yes sir.
Sho: What's this?
G: This one's made from carabao horn. We also have other kinds. Like this...
Sho: Oh, wood! This! This!
G: Yes sir, it's made from wood.
Sho: This one's also good right?
G: That one's closer to the real one. This is a new model.
Sho: Woah! It's my first time seeing it.
G: Inside is the union flag. It's only available this year.
Sho: I want that.
T: Sho tries on the duffle coat he's completely fallen in love with.
G: The size is also perfect right?
Sho: Yeah it is.
G: He looks good in it.
T: This was used by the navy so they were most of the time on a ship where the wind is strong.
G: so to stop the coat from fluttering, they fastened it to their thighs with this.
G: It's so close to the real one. The common duffle coats don't have that.
Sho: I'll talk about all those things when I'm drunk. When I'm out drinking. Isn't it perfect?
G: It is.
Sho: The toggle is wood and the color's camel and it's a bit bold. I'll take this. Mr. Kurosu, what do you think of my brand new duffle coat?
G: It's really great to find this kind of duffle coat right? I'm giving you... 100 points. Please wear that for 40-50 years.
T: Before we go on to our next challenger
T: can you please walk a bit to show us your new coat?
Aiba: Commander Sakurai!
Nino: Commander!
Aiba: Commander!
Sho: Do I really have to do this?
Jun: You've been wearing that a lot lately.
Sho: From the moment I bought this one, I've been wearing it a lot cuz I'm really going for a duffle coat image.
Jun: We didn't know you were.
Aiba: Wha? What do you mean? Like you'll also make some duffle jokes?
Nino: Are you?
Sho: Should I?
Aiba: Make one.
Aiba: Okay, here's Commander Sakurai's duffle joke!
Sho: Bob bob
Sho: Aiba's really... a scary person.
G: So, let's head on to our next challenge.
G: Our next challenge is...
G: Something to wear this winter.
Nino: They're the same.
G: Let's explore the world of the unknown!
T: Exploring the world of the unknown
G: Hello!
Jun: Hello!
G: Nice to meet you.
Jun: Nice to meet you.
G: I'm Ayukawa
G: From the band 'Sheena and Rockets'
Jun: Nice to meet you. I'm Matsumoto.
Jun: Glad to meet you.
G: Glad to meet you.
T: Makoto Ayukawa
T: 63 year-old active rock and roller
T: guitarist of the legendary rock band called 'Sheena and Rockets'
T: The band that pulled up the rock and roll scene in Japan
Jun: Amazing guitar. You can tell the age just by looking at it.
T: This was made in 1969
T: **1969 model, more than 40-year old guitar.
Sho: Everyone's taking care of their things.
T: It was born in the year of rock and roll.
Jun: Year of rock and roll?
T: I've been using it since then.
Jun: Cool!
T: But let's not talk about this.
Jun: Not about that?!
T: Today
Jun: Okay?
T: We're gonna talk about leather jackets.
Nino: Leather jacket?
Sho: I see.
T: Let's learn how to choose a timeless leather jacket from the rock and roller, Makoto Ayukawa.
T: If you choose a good one, it'll serve you for the rest of your life.
T: You can also use it during your tours.
Jun: Isn't it hard to play the guitar when you're wearing a leather jacket?
T: It is.
Jun: It is?
T: Everyone would go on stage wearing leather jackets.
T: After 4-5 songs, it becomes like a competition of who can last longer wearing one.
Jun: Competition?
T: But we're there to rock. So after 3-4 songs, I get used to it.
T: I've been wearing this for 30 years now.
T: It's still surprisingly in good condition.
Jun: It is.
T: I wear this during special occassions.
T: I feel protected whenever I'm wearing this.
Jun: Is that so?
T: My first tip for you is
T: to choose beef over lamb.
T: That's my first tip.
Jun: Cow?
Jun: Isn't cow skin a bit hard?
T: But...
T: that's how leather jackets should be.
T: Leather jackets aren't supposed to be comfortable
T: They're supposed to be tough.
T: They should be heavy duty.
T: Leather from cow is good.
T: Now you must choose your own leather jacket.
Jun: So I should go for cow skin huh?
T: Yes. Wear it anytime and anywhere.
Jun: I see, I see.
T: Wear it to the convenience store...
Jun: Do you?
T: I do.
Jun: Even to the convenience store?
T: Yes. I wear it to the coffee shop and while walking the dog.
Jun: While walking the dog?
T: Yes.
Jun: It's cool
Jun: to wear leather jacket every time and everywhere.
Jun: There'd be times that I'd want to take it off... what should I do then? Keep it on?
T: When that happens, you can take it off.
Jun: I can take it off?
Jun: When that time comes, I can take it off right?
Nino: Can this be? (when Jun's VTR starts)
Sho: Everyone's doing the same thing.
Nino: Same as yours.
Jun: Coo~ld
Jun: That's right! I'll go buy a leather jacket!
Jun: Leather! Leather! Leather! Leather!
Jun: Let's go inside!
T: This shop was recommended by Makoto Ayukawa
T: and it's called 'Roll' located in Shibuya.
T: The shop has 150 items from the famous leather jacket brand 'Lewis Leathers'
T: Definitely a shop for men.
T: Jun can now choose his own timeless jacket from this wide array of leather jackets.
Jun: Look for my lifetime partner huh?
Jun: There's a lot. I don't know what to choose!
Jun: This one's soft.
T: These are sheep skin.
Jun: But I was told that cow leather is better.
T: That's right. Choose cow skin.
T: Cow skin is flexible
T: this one's beautifully done.
T: He tries on the leather jacket he likes.
Jun: It's stiff!
T: Cow leather is stiff that's why it's good.
T: This one's 34 inches.
T: ** Material: Cow leather
T: ** Color: Navy
T: ** Size: 34 inches
Jun: Should the size be like this?
T: Some guys wear tighter leather jackets.
T: He should try on something tighter.
T: That one's really small. It's 32 inches.
Sho: It's a lot smaller.
Ohno: It looks good on him.
Jun: I think this is how it should be.
T: I think this is great.
T: Tight rock!
T: After choosing for 30 minutes...
Jun: I'm going with this one.
T: Matsujun chose a leather jacket made from cow skin, size 32 which is quite tight, in black.
Jun: I love the material they used for the underside and it's red.
Jun: And then it ends where my belt is so I think this one's okay.
Jun: I choose this jacket.
T: I think it's really good. I'll give you 96 points for that.
T: If you have time, you can wear that leather jacket to our concert
T: so that we can rock together!
T: Mr. Matsumoto's wearing his brand new leather jacket.
Jun: Don't give me that look. I'm not really going for this image.
Nino: It's pretty.
Jun: It's really tight and it's stiff cuz it's still new.
Nino: It does look good on you.
Sho: Among the 5 of us, it's Matsujun who looks best in a leather jacket.
Sho: Next would be... Ohno perhaps?
Ohno: Why me?!
Nino: Good luck!
Nino: Huh?
Aiba: Huh?
Aiba: Have you thought of one?
Nino: Please, go ahead.
Ohno: Ah! Isn't this a leather rider?
Ohno: Isn't this a leather rider too?
Ohno: This is leather right'a!?
Ohno: Shut up!!!
T: Let's head on to our next challenge.
T: Please watch this.
T: Something to eat this winter
T: Let's explore the world of the unknown.
T: Exploring the world of the unknown.
T: Waah! Hao chi~!
T: **Hao chi = delicious
T: Please take a seat.
Ohno: Thank you.
T: Hello!
T: Hello!
T: Please try this before I introduce myself.
Ohno: Is this sweet tofu?
T: Yes it is.
Ohno: Hao chi!!!
T: I'm Chou You. Sorry for the late introduction.
T: Chef Chou You used to be the ambassador banquet head chef at the Kingyu Restaurant who specializes in Chinese cuisines. He is said to be the man who set the hotpot boom on fire. Chef You will be teaching us how to cook a real hotpot.
T: I'm sorry but do you like shotpot?
Ohno: Jackpot?
T: SHOTPOT
Ohno: Shotpot?
T: Shotpot... shotpot, the one with white soup. Shotpot.
Ohno: Shotpot?
T: A soup that has 2 kinds - red and white.
Ohno: Shotpot?
T: Yes. You don't know what it is? Shotpot?
Ohno: I don't know what a shotpot is.
T: Shotpot is a soup that has 2 kinds - red and white.
Ohno: Aaaah!!!! Hotpot!
T: Yes! Shotpot!
Ohno: You were saying something different!
T: Sorry!
T: Later on, Chef You will be teaching us a simple hotpot recipe that anyone can easily follow.
Ohno: This is amazing!
T: After that would be Nino's winter tour around Tokyo.
Nino: Ah! This is great. Cool! We're really compatible! Me and this camera.
T: Let's learn how to cook a restaurant grade hotpot from the hotpot genius himself.
T: Did you know that hotpots are just ordinary homemade dishes in China.
Ohno: Really?
T: Yes. You can put in any kind of leftover.
Ohno: Anything?
T: That's right. I'll be teaching you how to make a simple hotpot.
Ohno: Seriously?
T: Yes.
Ohno: I'd be glad to learn!
T: We are now going to learn a simple recipe on how to cook hotpot at home.
T: First is...
Ohno: Yes?
T: the base. The base is really important so I made one before going here.
Ohno: You did?
T: Yes. Please watch this VTR on how I made the base.
Ohno: Wait a sec!
T: For the soup base, you'll need chicken bones, spring onion, and ginger
T: ** Ingerdients: Chicken bones (500 grams), spring onion (1 piece), ginger (60 grams).
T: Put it into 50cc of Japanese wine and 4 liters of water. Leave it for 30 minutes and your soup base is done.
T: Okay! Here it is!
Ohno: Is that it?
T: Yes.
T: So, shall we start? First point.... Let's make the 'paitan' soup!
Ohno: Paitan soup?
T: The paitan soup is the white one. You'll be using the very nutritious ginseng to make a delicious soup. The ginseng is a bit bitter so you have to tone down the bitterness by cooking it in water and 2 tablespoons of honey first.
T: ** cook the ginseng for 3 minutes
T: Chef You added 10 pieces of dried shrimps, 300 cc of soy milk, 1.5 tablespoons of salt, and 1200 cc of the base.
T: This is goji berry. The white soup is done.
Ohno: This one is finished?
T: It's done.
Ohno: Smells good.
T: The next point is to make the mala soup. The red one is called the mala soup.
Ohno: The spicy one?
T: Yes. It smells good, it's spicy, and it's delicious.
Ohno: I see.
T: Chef You puts in 1.5 tablespoons of salad oil, 1.5 tablespoons of sesame oil, 10 pieces of red pepper, 20 pieces of Japanese pepper, 2 pieces of star anise, cinammon skin and leaves.
T: I'm gonna put in chili paste but it's important to watch how you cook it. If you do it wrong, it might not be spicy enough
Ohno: I see.
T: or the soup may taste burnt.
Ohno: Yeah.
T: Put everything in.
Ohno: Smells good! It really smells good! This looks good! I really like this kind of cooking. Ohhh! This looks spicy!
T: It would be great for winter cuz it'd warm up your body.
Ohno: Yeah it'd be perfect for winter.
T: Let's put it into the empty half of the pot.
Ohno: Cool! It looks delicious!
T: I prepared different stuff.
Ohno: Wow! This looks great! This looks delicious!
T: Put in the last ingredients and bring it to a boil.
T: Please go ahead and taste it.
Aiba: It looks good!
Ohno: Thank you. Ahhh! This tastes good!
Sho: It looks good!
Ohno: It's something new to me. This tastes healthy. This is amazing.
T: The guys will be having a hotpot Christmas party at the studio.
T: Ohno will be preparing a simple hotpot recipe for you guys.
Jun: Sounds great.
Nino: What are you putting in?
Ohno: This is ginseng.
Nino: To where?
Jun: Do they usually sell ginseng that big?
Ohno: Are you talking to me?
Nino: We won't talk to you then.
Ohno: This is the base.
T: Next to the white soup is... the red soup.
Aiba: I don't hear any sizzling sound at all! It's not sizzling!!! Are you still doing okay? I'll do the sizzling sound for you if you want.
Nino: But it's looking good.
Ohno: Last would be the chili paste.
Sho: You're adding that?
Ohno: Yes.
Aiba: Ah! This is good. This is good.
Nino: This is what we've been waiting for.
T: Ohno pours the soup into the pot and the hotpot's done.
Jun: This looks delicious Riida!
T: Then he adds some secret ingredients
Ohno: I have here leftovers that you'd usually find inside the ref. Deep fried chicken, sausage, fish paste, and fried tofu.
Jun: I don't think the fried chicken will work.
Ohno: You'd be surprised.
T: The fried chicken really goes well with this dish.
Ohno: Trust me it's good!
Nino: Mr. Ohno, the soup's already mixed over here. Is this okay?
Sho: Making this kind of soup won't make sense if the 2 end up mixed together right?
T: While we leave the hotpot to simmer, let's first watch Mr. Ninomiya's VTR.
Ohno: Ah! I'll stay here?
T: Yes, please. This is the last challenge. Ninomiya goes on a tour this winter.
Jun: Tour?
T: Mr. Ninomiya will now explore the world of the unknown.
T: Exploring the world of the unknown
G: This bus is really great.
Nino: Hello.
T: Hello! Please take a seat.
Nino: Thank you!
G: My name is Asato Izumi and I'm a columnist.
Nino: Hello. I'm Kazunari Ninomiya.
G: Hello.
T: Asato Izumi is a columnist who wrote the 'Nau no Shikumi' collection based on the culture of the younger generations of the year 1984. At present, he's the man who has all that is to know about touring Tokyo. He writes about 200 articles in a year. Mr. Asato Izumi will be teaching us how to enjoy the sights Tokyo has to offer through the city bus.
Ohno: I see.
G: I suppose you've ridden the city bus a few times?
Nino: Yes... when I was small.
G: Did you know that the city bus runs through 139 routes?
Nino: That many?
G: And there are 3984 city bus stops.
Nino: That many?
G: It goes around Tokyo. For just 200 yen, it will take you around Tokyo as if it was a tour bus.
Nino: So you can go wherever you'd like just by riding it?
G: You can go to a lot of places. It offers top class entertainment.
Nino: Are you sure about that?
G: I'm very very sure. The first point is to have the '3 sacred treasures'.
Nino: '3 sacred treasures'? Do I need to have all 3?
G: Having this alone won't do. First of which is this backpack.
Nino: Okay? Is it better?
G: With this, both hands will be free.
Nino: So that I can use both hands.
G: You can use both hands.
Nino: Oh I see. Both hands should be free.
G: This is the second sacred treasure.
Nino: Is that a map?
G: That's right. This has all the city bus stops. And then the last one is a camera.
Nino: Camera?
G: Yes. You can take pictures of everything that catches your attention - buildings, the bus itself. Speaking of which, I have here a picture that I've taken myself.
Nino: Does it go through the town center?
G: Yes it does.
Nino: It does?
G: This is a picture of the rear part of the bus. I waited for the chance to take a good shot of the rear part.
Nino: You waited?
G: Yes I did.
Nino: That must've been difficult. You had to wait.
G: You have to be serious in this next point. You have to ride the 'Nari 10'.
Nino: 'Nari 10'?!
G: This one. The Nari 10 goes through Ginza where you'd be able to see the buildings and you can also see the lower parts of the town where houses and shops stand side by side. It would be like going on a timeslip in Tokyo.
Nino: You can see both right?
** You can see both sides of Tokyo: one with tall buildings and the other with blocks of houese standing side by side with narrow alleys.
G: This is for a beginner.
Nino: I see. This is for the neophytes huh.
G: Yes. For you, we rented out the whole bus.
Nino: It won't be like a tour bus then!
G: Yes.
T: Nino is now in front of the Shinbashi Station where he'll be starting his trip.
Nino: Hello everyone! I'm Kazunari Ninomiya and I'm about to go on my very first solitary trip via the city bus. Let's wait for the bus here.
G: This is the very first stop.
Nino: Is that the one? See! It's the Nari 10!
G: Yes, definitely the Nari 10. This goes to Narihirabashi. Good luck!
T: Thank you for waiting. This bus goes to Narihirabashi.
Nino: Good afternoon!
T: Nino goes on a Tokyo timeslip through the city bus.
Nino: Are we leaving?
T: We are now ready to depart.
Nino: Thank you.
Sho: This is great.
T: This bus starts at Shinbashi and goes through Ginza. Tsukiji, Kachidoki, Harumi, and stops at Narihirabashi where the Sky Tree is. The tour is 60 minutes long. I hope you enjoy your trip!
Nino: We're now in Ginza. It feels like... Ginza.
G: Cuz you're in Ginza.
Nino: I don't feel anything special though. It just feels like Ginza. We're now entering Ginza high street. I'll take a picture here. The bus isn't going to stop. It's a proof that I was here. Huh? We're in Kachidoki already? That was fast!
T: This classic bridge was constructed as a symbol of the olympics and the world fair and was set to be opened in the 15th year of the Showa Period. The bridge opens in the middle. There's a structure built right in the middle of this bridge. Will Nino be able to find it?
Nino: That's the one right? Right in the middle.
T: Oh! He found it.
Nino: Now I understand how you cameramen feel. That truck's in the way! Okay! Okay! Let's take a picture together Mr. Cameraman. Together! Ah! This looks like an ordinary building. That truck's in the way! Did I do number 1 right? Next would be the Sky Tree. Are we going there now? I'm quite excited about taking a photo there. Oh! We're almost there! This is great! This is great! Thank you! The Tokyo Sky Tree! I took a picture.
T: The Sky Tree that we can see from the Haruumi Bridge stands 634 meters tall. It was based on the name of Musashi which also means '634'. It's the tallest independent pole in the world.
T: Arriving at Enagawa.
Nino: There's nothing special here. There's nothing special here based on the map.
T: Nothing's really special here. But if he looks closely, I'm sure he'd be able to find one.
Nino: Ah!!!
Sho: A cowboy on the street?
Nino: I don't usually see cowboys. Honestly, I don't usually see cowboys like that. What an encounter!
T: 60 minutes later, Nino finally arrives at Narihirabashi where the Sky Tree stands.
Nino: I'm here! This is so cool! I'm finally here! This is so amazing!!!
T: Can he take a good picture of the Sky Tree?
Jun: Cool! It's so tall!
Nino: Cool! We're totally compatible... this camera and I!
T: I marked a coffee shop that I want him to try out. I hope he goes and tries it out.
T: And so...
Nino: Is this the one? I'm here. Kado. I'll go in now.
T: He's gonna try it huh?
Nino: Excuse me!
T: Welcome!
T: Nino is now at the coffee shop recommended by Mr. Asato Izumi. This shop is named after its location, on a corner of the street.
**Kado = corner.
T: This coffee shop is known mostly by locals.
Nino: Do you have any recommendations?
T: Our bestseller is the 'active fresh juice'. It's a mixture of honey, aloe, celery, parsley, green asparagus, lemon, and apple. It's very good for the body. And we have creamy blueberry bread stuffed with eggplant and mozorella. I suggest you try those.
Nino: Is that so? You mentioned a loooot of ingredients there.
T: The 'active fresh juice' and the eggplant mozorella sandwich are this shop's bestsellers.
T: The juice here tastes really healthy.
Nino: Oh it's good! I wanna go home already~!
T: Let's ask Nino if there's something he won't ever forget about this trip.
Nino: Uhmmm... the... yeah, seeing that cowboy.
T: You were able to enjoy top class entertainment with just 200 yen right? I'm giving Nino 96 points for just letting go and enjoying the trip. Why not try going to Okutama next time?
T: Shall we all look back at Nino's VTR?
Sho: This picture's amazing considering that you took it yourself.
Nino: With just one try.
Sho: It's really amazing.
Nino: It's really tall!
Aiba: I wanna go with you next time.
Nino: I think it was aroung 190 yen?
Ohno: Guys!
Jun: It was great! It was really great. Thank you very much!
T: Goodbye guys!
Aiba: Thank you!
Ohno: Hey!!! You idiots! I know you can see me!
Nino: Pardon?
Ohno: The hotpot's done! EAT!!!
T: After this, Arashi has a Merry Hotpot Christmas party.
Sho: Ah! It's delicious!
Nino: It's good!
Nino: I give you... 2 points. Congratulations!
T: Ohno's special hotpot is already done.
Ohno: Eat up guys.
Nino: I'm gonna try it now.
Sho: Ah! It's delicious!
Ohno: It is, right?
Nino: It's good!
Ohno: How's the fried chicken?
Aiba: I love it!
T: Remember, those are just leftovers.
Aiba: Riida! It's really 'hao chi'!
Ohno: Of course it's 'hao chi'!
Jun: I guess the red soup spilling over was a good thing cuz the white soup got a little spicy which makes this hotpot taste a little different from the usual ones.
Ohno: It was a good thing then.
Aiba: It looks spicy.
Sho: I'll try the spicy one.
T: It looks a little spicy though.
Jun: The spicy one's good too.
Sho: How spicy is it?
Aiba: It's very spicy.
Nino: Mr. Masu are you all right?
T: If you were to rate Ohno's dish. How many points will you give him out of 100?
Nino: The dish was great. Can I rate him now? Everyone said that the hotpot is delicious. So... I give you... 2 points. Congratulations!
Aiba: It was delicious.
Ohno: Chef Chou You! He gave me 2 points!!!
T: As I said, the fried chicken was delicious right? I'll give you 98 points. Next time you do it, you can put in anything that's in your refrigerator. Next week on Arashi ni Shiyagare... Arashi gets attacked by the Gay Army. Please watch out for this huge special!
T: Next week, the Scary Gay Army will be gracing the show.
T: Please don't think that we're all the same just because we're all gay.
T: Arashi gets pinned down and spends their Christmas in hell.
Nino: Have you seen a lady with all those muscles?!
T: Muscles?!!!

[ET - MAG] Aiba - 2011 Chiba Walker (Winter)

Magazine: Chiba Walker
Date: Winter, 2011
Language: English

Aiba Masaki's star shines bright in various fields like singing, TV dramas. commercials, and variety shows. He's been co-hosting "Tensai Shimura Doubutsuen" for 7 years now.
AIBA: I've been surrounded by animals even before I started doing the show. We have a dog at home. When I was small, we'd often go to Safari parks. I fell in love with the chameleon when we featured one in the show. It looks so cute especially when it sticks its tongue out to catch food. I used to hate reptiles but now I've grown fond of them. (^_^)

Animals can help relieve stress don't you think?
AIBA: True. Every time I feel their warmth, I realize that 'this is alive'. I'm taking care of something that has life. You don't take care of pets just because you find them cute right? You have to be ready for it. People also grow when taking care of plants and animals because of the responsibility that comes with it. I'd like to raise a big dog some day.

But you can't take care of a pet here in Tokyo right?
AIBA: Yeah cuz I live alone. But we have a dog in Chiba that's about 13 years old now. He still recognizes me every time I go there. If I have some free time, I take him out for a walk. I love animals, but I love Chiba too. I'm a true blue Chiba native. Nobody's forcing me to do so but I'll always do my best to represent Chiba.

[TT-MAG] - Aiba - Chiba Walker Winter 2011

Magazine: Chiba Walker
Date: Winter, 2011
Language: Filipino

Makinang ang bitwin ni Aiba Masaki sa larangan ng pagkanta, drama, commercials, variety shows, sa iba't ibang fields. Isa na dun yung pagiging host sa "Tensai Shimuura Doubutsuen" na 7 years na nyang ginagawa.
AIBA: Bago pa ako masali sa show, napapalibutan na talaga ako ng hayop. Meron kaming aso sa bahay tapos madalas kami pumunta sa mga zoo na mala Safari park dati. Alam mo ba, nung nagfeature kami ng chameleon sa show, naaliw ako. Kasi ang cute ng ichura nya pag humahaba yung dila nya para kumain ng cricket. Dati ayoko talaga sa reptiles pero ngayon nakucutan na ako sakanila (^_^).

Nakakarelieve din ang mga animals ng stress di ba.
AIBA: Oo totoo yan. Pag nararamdaman ko yung warmth nila, narerealize ko 'ah, buhay din to', natuto kang mag-alaga ng iba. Hindi ka lang naman kase nag-aalaga ng pet dahil cute sila di ba. Ang tao din siguro nagmamature by taking care of animals saka plants dahil natututo tayong maging responsible. One day, gusto ko sana mag-alaga ng malaking aso.

Pero imposibleng mag-alaga ka ng hayop dito sa Tokyo di ba?
AIBA: Oo nga di ba. Kasi ako lang mag-isa sa apartment. Pero sa Chiba (hometown ni Aiba) meron kaming aso dun na siguro mga 13 years old na. Pag umuuwi ako, nakikilala parin nya ako, sinasalubong pa rin nya ko. Pag may time, sinasama ko sya maglakad lakad dun. Mahal ko ang animals pero mahal ko din ang Chiba. Nasa puso ko ang pagiging taga-Chiba. Ako lang to (hindi dahil sinabi sakanya ng mga taga-Chiba na gawin yun) pero mula ngayon, gagawin ko pa ang best ko bilang isang taga-Chiba.

相葉さんへ

誕生日おめでとう!!!(^_^)
そして、嵐のみなさんへ、メリークリスマス!!!

[TAGALOG TRANSLATION] - 2011.11 - Only Star

"Sa ngayon, kung di rin lang kaming lima, hindi masaya"

-- First time nyo tong magkakaron ng project sa NHK bilang group. Ano'ng masasabi nyo tungkol dito?
OHNO: Masasabi... (inabot yung mic sa katabi nya na si Nino)
NINO: (Walang sinabi, at ipinasa lang sa katabi nyang si Sho yung mic)
SHO: (Tinanggap yung mic) Ako ba? Yung gusto kong sabihin? (^_^) Nung nagkaron ako ng project dito dati, sobra yung response dahil napapnood sya sa lahat ng sulok ng Japan. Sa susunod naman, masaya kasi magkaksama kaming lima. Tapos yung program naman, maraming iba't ibang lugar yung mafifeature so yung audience mapapa "uy! probinsya ko yan ah!". Tingin ko, maraming manunuod.
JUN: (nagraise ng hand, inabot ni Sho yung mic sakanya) Honestly, ang saya ko kasi yung pangalan ng group namin, nasa title. Syempre, gusto naming bigyan ng lakas yung mga viewers at sana maramdaman nila yung intention namin na yun. (Itinutok yung mic kay Aiba)
AIBA: Okay na. Tama na yung dalawa. Nasabi nyo na yung gusto ko sabihin.(^_^)

-- Kumusta naman yung pagpunta nyo sa mga probinsya?
NINO: Bagong experience para sakin. Pumunta ako sa province kung san ginawa yung pinakaunang soy sauce sa Japan. Yung family na dinalaw ko, sila nalang yung kaisa-isang family na gumagawa ng soy through yung traditional method. Inalam ko kung ano yung thoughts ng family sa isa't isa. Nalaman nila kung ano yung thoughts ng isa't isa through this project. Itong byahe kong to papunta sa province eh medyo may kinalaman sa bond na nagbubuklod sa isang family.
AIBA: Ako naman, nagpuntang Ariake at binigyan ng chance na maexperience yung mud flat (malaking field ng putik pag lowtide pero hindi visible pag high tide) dun. Marami akong ginawa dun. Nagtry akong lumangoy sa putik, humuli ng mudskipper. Pinatry nila sakin yung paraan ng locals dun ng pangingisda ng mudskipper. Napakagandang experience nun tapos amazing yung place na pinuntahan namin.
JUN: Nangisda ka ba talaga?
AIBA: Oo, nangisda ako.
JUN: Ano'ng nangyare?
AIBA: Uh.... kung sa nakahuli ako o hindi... panuorin nyo nalang.
NINO: Yung mga taong tingin nila di nakahuli si Aiba ng isda (itaas ang kamay!)
JUN&SHO&OHNO: Hindi! (Niraise nila lahat kamay nila)
AIBA: Mali! Mali! Mali! (^_^) Pag nalaman ng readers yung resulta hindi na nila papanuorin yung show!
NINO: Okay lang. Papanuorin parin nila yung amin. Yung iyo lang ang hindi.
AIBA: Parang mali naman yun. Hindi naman sila ganun kagaling maglipat ng channel di ba? (nasa buong show din kasi si Aiba. Ibig sabihin ni Aiba, hindi naman siguro ganun kagaling ang viewers na kaya nilang ilipat yung channel pag lalabas sya sa screen)
APAT: Hahahahahahah
AIBA: Panuorin nyo please, tapos tignan nyo nalang kung anong mangyayare, please. (^_^)

-- Ikaw naman Mr. Sakurai, di ba nagpunta ka sa Fukuyama Prefecture para dumalaw sa isang babaeng kakaiba ang interest sa agriculture?
SHO: Oo. Dumalaw ako sa isang 25-year old farmer na matatawag ding "makabagong babae". Actually graduate sya ng isang school dito sa Tokyo pero pinili nyang umuwi ng province at tumulong sa parents nya sa pagtatanim right after nyang grumaduate. Sa segment ko, malalaman nyo kung bakit nya naisipang gawin yun. Pinakain nya din ako ng fresh na egg on rice.
JUN: Hmmm...
SHO: Ang sarap! Tapos yung mother nya, gumagawa ng ceramics. Binigyan nya kami (buong Arashi) ng tea cups. Nagjakenpoy kami tapos yung mananalo may chance sya piliin yung tea cup na gusto nya. Sobrang saya namin.
APAT: Salamat po~!
SHO: Peram nitong opportunity para magthank you (^_^)

-- Si Mr. Matsumoto naman, pumunta sa Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture
JUN: Dumalaw ako sa isang gumagawa ng bag. Hindi sya talaga gumagawa ng bags pero dati, ang ginagawa nya, airplane parts. Marami syang pinagdaanan before sya nagstart gumawa ng bags. Nagpunta ako dun para interviewhin sya tungkol sa pinagdaanan nya pero habang nagkukwento sya, nafeel ko yung lakas nya at nabilib ako na di sya sumuko. Sana maramdaman din nung audience yung nafeel ko nung time na yun. So... Mr. Ohno.
OHNO: Yes! Nagpunta ako sa Onagawachou, Miyagi Prefecture, isa sa mga talagang nadamage nung earthquake. Nameet ko dun yung local hero nila na si Eager. A year ago lang nacreate si Eager pero nung natsunami sila, naanod lahat ng gamit nila so nagstart uli sila from scratch. Sobra yung desire nila para pangitiin yung mga bata saka para pasayahin yung buong town. Natouch ako nung napanuod ko yung actual na show. Sana panuorin nyo rin to.

-- Di ba lagi kayong bumibili ng pasalubong para sa ibang members pag bumibyahe kayo? This time, ano naman yung mga binili nyo para sa ibang members?
OHNO: Huh?
NINO: Huh?
OHNO: Ako di bumili.
SHO: Ako.... din hindi bumili.
AIBA: Ako... hindi bumili.
JUN: Ako, Saitama lang kasi eh (malapit lang)
AIBA: Siguro ano... Busy lang siguro kasi lahat.
NINO&SHO: O... oo ata?
JUN: Pero nakatanggap kame ng tea cups mula kay Sho (bigay ng binisita ni Sho). Masaya nga ako kase nakareceive ako ng something na makakaremind sakin na minsan eh ginawa namin to.
AIBA: (Full force) Uhmmm! Ako, bumili! Pero balak kong iabot senyo pag nagtape na tayo.
SHO: Ba't mo sinabe?!
AIBA: Eh kasi.
NINO: Ano'ng ginawa mo?!
AIBA: Eh hindi ko natiis! Itong gantong klaseng atmosphere! (^_^)
SHO: Eh di pag iaabot mo na samin yung pasalubong parang "a okay" nalang kame?
AIBA: Syempre hinde, dapat "Haaa~?!" ganun pa din, masaya parin reaction nyo!
SHO: (^_^) Pero kung ganon narin lang, ako din meron.
NINO: Ako din meron, siguro makakatikim kayo ng soy.
AIBA: Eh meron naman pala kayong pasalubong. Magdadala kang soy sa set?
NINO: Kung sa magdadala, oo magdadala ako. Pero kung makakain nyo yun, kayo na bahala.
JUN: Ha?
AIBA: Ano kaya yun?
SHO: Ang lupit mo naman!
NINO: Eh segment ko naman kasi yun.
AIBA: A, oo nga, iba-iba pala tayo. Iba-iba pala yung pinuntahan naten.
NINO: Oo nga.
SHO: A ganun? So pag nagtape na?
NINO: Surprise!
AIBA: Oo, may element ng surprise.
NINO: I'm sure naman na bawat isa satin meron.
JUN: Leader, ikaw?
OHNO: Ako? Well... antayin nyo nalang.
JUN: Mukhang wala.
OHNO: Fu fu fu (^_^)

-- Di ba nagkaron kayo ng chance to meet different kinds of people na iba iba yung work na ginagawa. Ishare nyo naman samin yung narealize nyo pagdating naman sa sarili nyong trabaho bilang member ng "Arashi".
OHNO: Well, magrerelease kame ng single today, at 12 years na naming ginagawa to. Syempre dahil nga bigla nalang kaming pinagsama-sama sa isang group, nung umpisa hindi pa ganon kalalim yung relationship namen. Pero habang lumilipas yung panahon masnakikilala namin yung isa't isa. Ngayon, feeling ko, kung di rin lang kaming lima, hindi magiging ganto kasaya.
NINO: Oo, thankful din ako na mula nung debut namen magkakasama kame hanggang ngayon. At gagawin pa namin yung best namin at susubukan namin tumagal dito sa industriyang to hanggat kaya namin. Pag naiisip ko magkakasama parin kaming ginagawa to eh sobrang gratitude ang nararamdaman ko.
AIBA: Hindi ko inexpect dati na aabot kami ng 12 years kaya napakasaya ko. Mula ngayon, mag-eenjoy pa kami lalo, saka sa lahat ng mga sumusuporta samin sana maslalo pa namin kayong mapasaya. Lahat na kami dun.
SHO: Lahat daw? (^_^)
JUN: Di pa ko nagsasalita. (^_^) Masaya ang trabaho pag kasama ko tong 4 na to. Medyo matagal na mula nung last na nagkasama-sama kami ng ganto at narealize ko na iba talaga pag sila yung kasama ko. Araw-araw akong nagpapasalamat para dun.
SHO: Sakto nga kagabe, pagpatak ng alas dose, nakareceive kame ng text message galing sa manager namen saying "congratulations!". Tapos nun nagtextan narin kaming lahat. Parang "12 years na noh" tapos "kayo na uli bahala sakin". Pero sayang kase si Mr. Ninomiya, nagbago ng number so hindi nya natanggap yung text namin.
NINO: Uhmmm (^_^). Pero sa totoo lang, ako lang yung...
SHO: Hindi nasendan ng text.
NINO: Pero yung manager naten, nakonsensya. Mga 1 PM kanina, natanggap ko yung text na yun.
SHO: I see. So nakapag "congratulations" sya at "thank you" ka pala.
NINO: Oo.
SHO: E ganun naman pala (^_^) Si Mr. Ohno, hindi nagreply. Nagreply sya senyo? (AIBA and JUN)
JUN: Hinde.
AIBA: Nde.
OHNO: Eh?
NINO: Ano yun, hindi mo nasend sa lahat yun. Dun lang yun nasend sa nireplyan mo.
OHNO: Ah, hindi nasend sa lahat?
SHO: Malamang sa manager lang naten mo nasend yun. (Manager - pinakaunang taong nagtext)
NINO: Oo kaya. Hindi ka talaga marunong gumamit nung reply to all. (^_^)
JUN: Sabihin mo nalang samin kung ano contents nung text.
SHO: Oo, sabihin mo nalang.
OHNO: Ha? Eh "thank you" lang yun... saka ano pa nga ba?
AIBA: Nakakahiya naman to (^_^)
OHNO: (Nalilito) Hindi, ano lang "Mula ngayon"?, ay hinde... uhmmmm "Salamat sa lahat".... A! Ayun! "Salamat sa lahat. Mula ngayon..." wait lang ha! Nahiya na ako eh. (^_^)
APAT: Hahahahahahahah
AIBA: Di ba! Nakakahiya?!
JUN: Pero sabihin mo samin ng maayos!
NINO: "Mula ngayon"?
OHNO: "Mula ngayon"... Eeeeh! "Sana masmagkaisa pa tayong lahat" parang ganun. Basta! Nagreply ako!
SHO: Pero sayang kase yung "sana masmagkaisa pa tayo" e yung manager lang natin ang nakatanggap.
OHNO: (Malakas na boses) Maraming salamat sa lahat!!
APAT: Hahahahahahahahaha

[TAGALOG TRANSLATION] - 2011 - +act. mini Vol.15 (Pages 8&9)

Parehong day nagstart yung filming ng "Kamisama no Karute" saka "Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato De" (Nazodi). Anong masasabi mo dun?
SHO: Oo nga e. Parehong nagstart sila ng first day ng September.
(pareho lang ng araw pero 2010 pa nagstart yung filming ng Karute)

Natunugan mo bang gagawin mo tong dramang to habang nagshushoot kayo ng "~Karute"?
SHO: Hinde. Walang ganon.

Kelan mo nalamang gagawin mo tong dramang to?
SHO: Kelan na nga yon? This year mga... September ngayon?

Oo, September ngayon.
SHO: Masmadali naman ata kung tinignan ko nalang yung planner ko e noh. (^_^) Siguro mga May ko nalaman. Pagpunta ko sa office, sinabihan akong gagawin ko tong dramang to. Halos isang oras ata nila akong kinausap tungkol dito. Nung natapos yung meeting , pinag-usapan naman namin yung support na ibibigay namin sa mga victims nung earthquake kaya malamang nasa time na yun.

Nabasa mo na ba yung libro nung time na yun?
SHO: Actually ano, oo. Hindi naman ako talaga nagbabasa ng libro kaso yung friend ko, rather, isa sa mga juniors ko, sinabi sakin interesting yung book so binasa ko. Pero hindi ko yun binasa dahil gusto kong iact yung part nung lead ha.

Nung nalaman kong ikaw ang magpeplay ng role, binasa ko yung book tapos naisip ko nga na saktong sakto ka para sa role.
Nakakatawa yung naimagine ko.
SHO: Naimagine mo?

Oo. Pero di ba matangkad si Kageyama?
SHO: Well... pag nagsuot naman ako ng hills pwede na rin. (^_^)

(^_^) Kasi si Kageyama, "rational" saka "matalino". Mga traits na nasa role na naeenvision kong bagay mo iportray.
SHO: (^_^) Pero ito kung san san ko na nasabi, parang manga tong librong to. Ang ganda ng tempo ng story, na ambilis ng lipat ko ng page. Tapos yung font na ginamit sa book, parang never pa akong nakikita ng book na ganun yung gamit na font. Kaya nag-enjoy talaga at natuwa ako sa book. Naisip ko tuloy, pano na kaya pag ginawa na tong script? Pagbasa ko nung script.... masmukhang manga! Naimagine ko lang ha, para syang American comic strip. Kaso narealize ko, hindi pa ako nakakabasa ng American na comic strip (^_^)! Navisualize ko lang naman.

Medyo kwela sya. (^_^)
SHO: Oo nga medyo kwela sya. Sobrang okay na nung book, sobrang okay pa nung script. Pero yun nga eh, okay yung book, okay yung script, so dapat mas okay yung drama. Maspressured nga kami na gawing mas okay sya dahil dun. Parang sa "KisarazuCat's Eye". Yun, sobrang okay nung script nun. Kaya talaga namang nakakapressure nung ginagawa na namin sya. Parang "pano to maspagagandahin pa". Kaya nakakaexcite gawin. Nung binabasa ko yung book (Nazodi) naisip ko "eh di pag di pala umuwi sa mansion yung amo ni Kageyama, wala syang part sa drama?"

A oo nga, kasi nga naman butler sya ng Hosho family. Basically nasa mansion lang sya.
SHO: Oo. Kaya nga naisip ko, mukhang mahirap ang filming nito. Pero nung nabasa ko yung script, mukhang okay naman.

Saka masnakakatawa sya sa drama. (^_^) Parang nag-expand yung character na hindi nasisira yung image nya na nasa libro.
SHO: Oo. Yun nga yung nakakatuwa. Okay sya.

Naeexcite na ako makita lalo na yung scenes na mukhang stalker si Kageyama. (^_^) Pero actually, 2nd day palang ng filming nyo ngayon di ba?
SHO: Oo, kahapon at ngayon.

Kakastart nyo palang pala. Kumusta naman kayo sa set?
SHO: (Medyo nag-isip).... Nagsosolve ng mystery

Hahaha
SHO: Nagsosolve ng mystery kaya nahihirapan kami.


Di ba may mga actions, rather, skills ang mga butler. Tulad sa pagseserve ng meals, pagdadrive, pag escort sa amo.
SHO: U-huh.

Meron ka bang pinaggayahan or ginawang reference?
SHO: Well, binigyan nila ako ng isang araw na, hindi naman training, pero parang practice. Tinuruan ako kung pano magserve ng food, mag-open ng bottle ng wine, tapos pano gumamit ng knife, madaming tinuro sakin. Tapos nanuod ako ng mga movies saka dramas na merong butlers. Maski sa dressing room, di ba dapat hinihila ko din yung chairs nila?
(hinihila para makaupo ng maayos)

Konteng hila lang (^_^)
SHO: Di ba hihilain nang onte? (^_^)

Pag sinabing "butler" saka "Kageyama", anong image ang nabubuo sa isip mong kelangan mong gawin?
SHO: Well isa na yung kelangan kong makuha yung gentleness ni Kageyama sa pagbabantay nya kay Miss Reiko sa kabila ng matalas nyang dila. Hindi naman to talaga kasama sa role pero yung straight na likod. Parang nung isang araw, nung nakita ko sa salamin yung way ng pagbow ko, napansin kong pag nagbabow ako, medyo kuba ako tignan. Lalo pa syang nagiging kapansin-pansin sa pictures saka sa video. Siguro, yun nga. Sisiguraduhin kong straight yung likod ko.

Tingin ko, may pagkakapareho yung character ni Kageyama sayo pagdating sa way ng pananalita saka sa aura...
SHO: Talaga? Pero yan nga ata yung rason kung bakit napakahirap na para sakin ng filming maski pangalawang araw pa lang namin to. Ako mismo kasi naiisip kong may pagkapareho kami ni Kageyama kaso sa mga linya kunyari yung "~po ako", "~po kayo", itong araw lang na to, sobrang dami ko nang mali. Pano ko ba ididesrcibe? Kunyari imbes na "~po ba kayo?", nasasabi ko "~ka po ba?". Akala ko sanay na ako sa ganun kaso maspolite na words pala ang gamit. (^_^) Dun ako nadadali. Nakakalito.

Naeexcite na ako! Pano kaya maitatranslate sa live action yung pagiging, hindi naman sa masakit magsalita, pero yung pagiging pranka saka talaga namang no holds barred na way ng pakikipag-usap ni Kageyama kay Reiko?
SHO: Ngayon palang yun. Sa studio namin kinukunan yung scenes sa loob ng mansion. Yung sa trailer, yung "Miss Reiko, bulag ka ba?" na part, ginawa lang namin yun para sa trailer. Yung totoong scene na gagamitin namin sa drama, ngayon palang namin kukunan. Pero bagong bago to para sakin. In a sense, pareho sya kay Ichito (role nya sa ~Karute) na ngayon ko palang naportray. Wala pa akong naportray na role na medyo indifferent. Pagdating sa mga maliliit na bagay, pareho sya dun sa role ko sa "The Quiz Show" na si Kamiyama. Pero this time, di ako magsasabi ng "Dream Chaaaaance" sabay sayaw noh. (^_^)

Oo nga naman (^_^)
SHO: Oo. Kaya para sakin, bago sya. Naeexcite din ako.

Yung dialogue mo eh medyo....
SHO: marami! (^_^)

Yung role mo dati, si Kamiyama, marami ding lines yun di ba?
SHO: Kamiyama or Kageyama ba to? (^_^)

Okay yun ah (^_^)
SHO: Kanina nag-uusap kami ni Miss Keiko. Pag sa studio (mansion na set up) kukunan yung scene, kaming dalawa lang yun na nag-uusap. Pero pano kung di kaya? Parang ganun yung usapan. Iwan nalang siguro naming unsolved yung mystery (^_^) Pero hindi naman pwedeng ganun so we're left with no other choice but to do it.

Yung sa loob ng mansion, kayong dalawa lang yun na nag-uusap di ba?
SHO: Di ba? Ang hirap di ba?

Kung ganun, mahalagang in sync kayong dalawa?
SHO: Yan, gagawan namin ng paraan habang ginagawa namin yung drama. Yung saming dalawa... Malamang pagpasok namin sa studio, marami naman siguro kaming time na masespend together sa dressing room, saka habang nagfifilm. Kaya okay sana kung makadevelop kami ng ano ba... atmosphere? mood? Basta ng rhythm. Para sakin kase malamang ito nalang yung dramang gagawin ko para sa 2011. Pagkatapos ng "~Karute", tutuloy ako dito so mukhang ito nalang ang acting project ko this year.

Oo nga noh. Last TV drama mo eh yung "Tokuji Kabachi" nung 2010.
SHO: Yeah. Last year naman, sabay kong ginagawa yung "Kabachi" saka "Karute".

Nafeel mo bang ang tagal mo nang di gumagawa ng TV series?
SHO: Oo naman. Lagi naman pero talagang gusto kong pagbutihan yung acting ko dito.

Sinulat mo to sa Johnny's Web na diary mo at medyo natawa ako. First time mong magfilm ng drama sa FujiTV kaya medyo kabado kang nagfifilm sa studio sa Wangan. (^_^)
SHO: Kasi naman di ba? Wala akong alam (^_^). San kaya yung cafeteria? Ano kayang makakain sa cafeteria? Di ba importante
yun?

Iba ba sya pag nagfifilm kayo para sa VS Arashi? Di ba sa Wangan din yun?
SHO: Sobrang magkaiba sila. Parehong studio pero magkaibang magkaiba.

Talaga?
SHO: Yung dressing room, ibang floor. Nung nagcocostume fitting kami, nagpunta ako minsan sa dressing room para sa drama.
Pareho lang sila nung sa dressing room namin sa "VS Arashi". Pero magkaiba ng color. Anong gagawin ko dun sa distance mula
sa studio papuntang dressing room? Anong number ang pipindutin ko sa monitor para makita yung studio? Ganun.

Ah, importante nga yun noh (^_^)
SHO: Wala bang magtuturo sakin? Medyo importante yun eh.

About yung scented candles naman....
SHO: Aah, yun? (^_^) Hindi kasi kami gaanong nagsestay sa dressing room. Dun ako sa make-up room naglalight ng scented candles. Wala lang, naisip ko lang maging stylish.

Sobrang nakakatawa kaya yun.(^_^)
SHO: Gusto ko kasing isipin nilang stylish ako, hanggat di ako nabubuko ah. Iniisip ko kasing istress yung stylish na
character ko. (^_^) Sa maski san pang lugar, gusto kong isipin nilang ganun ako - stylish na actor na nagsisindi ng
scented candles.

(^_^) Kasi nga naman first time mong magsastar sa isang drama under FujiTV di ba.
SHO: Oo. Nga pala, si Mr. Hideaki Tatematsu (Project Coordinator) nakilala ko sya nung ginawa yung Great Hanshin Earthquake documentary drama. Makakasama ko nanaman sya this time. Si Miss Madoka Takiyama (Strategic Planning) saka si Miss Reiko Nagai (Producer), nakasama ko naman sa "Saigo no Yakusoku" (drama special). Marami-rami na rin akong nakasama kaso feeling ko talaga first time ko palang to. Pagdating sa paggawa ng drama series dito. First time kong magsispend ng 3 months... 4 months dito.

Nakakakaba nga.
SHO: Alam mo kung anong nakakakaba? Di ba, Tuesday ng 9 PM ang airing nung drama? yung araw na yun din kami nagtetape ng VS Arashi. Pag nagseset change yung staff, nasa dressing room lang kami, nanunuod ng TV. Pag 9 na, syempre manunuod na ako ng Nazodi. Yung mga siraulong yun (members), makikinuod naman tapos mang aasar. (naiimagine palang ni Sho to, kasi 2nd day palang ng drama nung gawin nila tong interview nato so hindi pa nae-air yung drama)

Naimagine mo?
SHO: Oo. Nakakakaba noh! (^_^) Pero ang pinakaconcern ko talaga eh yung cafeteria.

Ganun ka kadeterminadong masolve yan? Bakit? Pag ba VS Arashi, di kayo pumupunta sa cafeteria?
SHO: Usually kasi, tuwing nagtetape kame ng VS Arashi, nagpapabili lang kami sa manager namin ng "Ninoodles". Nadiscover yun ni Nino nung ginagawa nya yung "Freeter~". Bale noodle soup sya na nilagyan ng suka saka chili oil. Sa TBS naman, merong tinatawag na "Sakurai Soba" saka "Aiba Soba". (^_^) Pag taping ng VS Arashi, kadalasan, Ninoodles ang pinapabili namin. Pero para sa taping ng drama, alangan naman yun nalang at yun ang kainin ko?

Oo nga naman.
SHO: Kelangan ko nang makagawa ng "Sakura Noodles". Ay anlayo na ng pinuntahan ng usapan natin. Sorry, sorry. (^_^)

Okay lang. Maganda naman yung topic natin. (^_^) Tuloy na tayo, idescribe mo naman samin yung costume saka hair ni Kageyama.
SHO: Sa buhok, medyo sinuklay lang palikod yung bangs ko. Yun lang, hindi masyadong iniba yung kulay. Ang pinag-usapan talaga nila eh yung salamin.

Panong pinag-usapan?
SHO: Kung lagi bang nakasuot ng glasses si Kageyama o hindi. Wala sa choices yung kung hindi sya pagsusuutin ng glasses at all. Ang pinagpilian lang eh kung masmadalas ba syang nakasalamin tapos tatanggalin nalang paminsan-minsan? O masmadalas bang hindi sya nakasalamin pero magsusuot paminsan-minsan? Para sa trailer, dalawang patterns yung kinunan namin. Tapos pinag-usapan namin ng staff saka director kung alin masmaganda. Yun, napagdecidean na magsuot nalang sya ng glasses. Sa book din kasi ganun. Yun lang naman yung napag-usapan nang husto. Saka yung tux pala. Kung yung orthodox ba o classic? Sinubukan ko pareho. Yung classic tux medyo malaki yung pants nun di ba. Mukhang cool nga ako dun eh.

Pero sa book, ang maiimagine mong Kageyama e matangkad.
SHO: Oo. Kaya nga naisip ko pano na yung length ng tailcoat nya saka pano na yung pocket watch? Sila na ang nag-iisip kung panong gagawin dun.

Sinasabi mo naman opinion mo sa ganong pagkakataon di ba?
SHO: Sinasabi ko. Sinasabi ko pero... pano ba sasabihin to? Kung anong meron ngayon, resulta na sya ng effort ng lahat. Yung pocket watch, yung pantalon, yung mga yun hindi na gaanong mahalaga yun. Lahat ng ito, resulta ng mabusising trabaho ng lahat ng tao sa set. Hindi na mahalaga kung alin yung "ako yun nag-isip nito", tipong ganun.

Nabigyan ako ng chance na basahin yung script and marami akong tanong sa isip ko ngayon tulad ng sino ba talaga si Karasawa (played by Shiro Ito, retired butler ng Hosho family bago kay Kageyama). Yung sa book kasi, sa chapter 1 lang sya so mahirap ivisualize yung ending nung drama. So naisip ko, pano kaya mag-eend yung drama?
SHO: Happy ending (^_^)?

Medyo malabo pa sya di ba? (^_^)
SHO: Oo, yung unang episode ganun nga. Parang "bakit kaya gusto nyang maging butler?" Maraming kayang gawin si Kageyama. Matalino sya, marami syang alam. Magandang trabaho din naman ang pagiging butler pero yung mga taong nag-iisip na may masmagandang trabaho kesa sa pagbabutler, siguro naisip nila "Bakit kaya nya piniling maging butler?". Yun yung isa sa mga main points ng story.

Parang meron pang ibang kwento bukod sa pagsosolve nila ng mystery.
SHO: Oo. Pero ako, hindi ko pa alam kung pano mag-eend yung drama.

Dahil ba dun kaya ka interesado kung ano kakalabasan nung kwento?
SHO: Nakabase naman sya sa book pero yung script na nareceive ko hanggang 2nd episode palang. Syempre curious ako kung anong mangyayari sa mga susunod na episodes.

Ikaw ba yung tipo ng taong magtatanong kung anong mangyayari sa future o yung tipong aantayin nalang yung script?
SHO: Gusto ko itanung kung ano nangyari sa backbone ni Kageyama. (^_^) Nagmemorize lang kasi ako ng linya ko kaya ngayon ko lang naisip yung tanong na yun.

Sobrang naeexcite na rin ako sa mga developments na sa drama lang makikita. Bagay din kay Miss Keiko yung role nya.
SHO: Oo nga. Pano ba to sabihin? Hindi mo pagdududahan yung pagkatao nya? O meron sya nung cuteness ng isang anak mayamang pinalaki nang maayos. Hindi sya yung tipong nonsense na tao, matuwid sya mag-isip. Grabe din yung costumes nya. Iba-ibang patterns. Maeenjoy din to ng female viewers. Tapos ibang kwento na to. Nung nagmeet yung cast, nakita ko si Anri Okamoto (National Police, policewoman). Sya yung gumanap na batang Shoko sa "Yatterman". Nung natapos ko na basahin yun book, lumapit sya sakin tapos sabi nya "Long time no see po!". Ang nasabi ko lang talaga nun, "Ooooy! Ang laki mo naah!"(^_^). Pagkasabi ko nun, naisip ko 'tumatanda na talaga ako' (^_^).

(^_^)
SHO: (^_^) Nakakatuwa nga kasi si Mr. Toru Nomaguchi (police sa drama), nakasama ko yun sa "Kamisama no Karute". Tapos si Mr. Yasuhi Nakamura (forensics investigator) naman, nagguest dati sa "Kabachi". Si Miss Haruka Kinami naman na kasama namin kanina, guest din sya dati sa "Kabachi".

So parang "uy! nagkita tayo uli!" ang feeling?
SHO: Oo. Kaya medyo masaya ako.

Masaya nga, kasi yung fact na nagkaron kayo uli ng chance to work together reminds you na patuloy kayong nabibigyan ng projects. Naeexcite na ako makita yung role ni Mr. Keppei Shiina na kung ano ano ginagawa. Tingin ko kasi mas exposed sya sa kung ano anong bagay kesa kay Kageyama.
SHO: Hindi kasi kami madalas nagkakasama sa scenes.... Sobrang excited din ako. Hindi ko pa napapanood yung parts nya. Kanina nga nag-uusap usap lahat parang "sobrang nakakatawa si Mr. Shiina kahapon noh?". Napag-iwanan na ako.... parang ganun (^_^). Ganun kami nagtetape.... Kaya gusto ko nang panuorin pag na-air na.

Hindi ito isang detective drama pero nagsosolve kayo ng mystery saka may suspense, may comedy din, tapos baka may love story. Anong genre kaya pwedeng ilagay tong dramang to?
SHO: Di ba? Ganun nga rin naisip ko. (^_^)

Kaya nga siya lalong interesting.
SHO: Sobrang kwela kasi nya di ba? Nung binabasa ko din yung script, natuwa ako kasi kwela. Yung suspense na part, yung part na nagsosolve ng mystery yung mga bida, sobrang kwela. Kaya naisip ko maeenjoy din to ng mga bata. Pag nagsosolve ng mystery si Kegayama, parang da-da-da-da sa bilis! Parang isang hingahan lang nasosolve na nya yung mystery. Yung masarap na feeling na mafifeel mo lang pag nakasolve ka na ng isang mystery, gusto sanang maenjoy ng lahat yun.
