嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス 2008.05.30

 

Opening
Aibachan did 2 psychological tests!

Omoide Shredder
Many embarrassing and funny happenings sent by the listeners.
One of them told that she was always singing A.RA.SHI like "You're my son son~!" instead of "You are my soul soul~!" XDD
And Aibachan told that there is a song of NEWS that says "It's big NEWS", but he always thought that it was "1・2・NEWS!" (Read as "Ichi Ni NEWS!")

Oshiete Aibachan!
- For what reason and when Aibachan started to say "KonAiba"?
- Aibachan was asked in a magazine interview what anime character he likes, and he answered "Ayanami Rei of EVANGELION". So the listener asked him to talk about what are the qualities of Ayanami Rei.
- Who was the senpai that you admired in your Johnny's Jr. days?

 

 

Words in blue are my observations. Sometimes Aibachan talks to someone, but I don't know who he is. So I just put "staff" in orange, assuming that he's someone from the staff. ^^;

***NOTE***

This time I'm not translating what I listened. This is a translation of the many transcripts and reports of Rekomen that I read in Japanese blogs. I think it's very complete though.

 

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

 

A: Do you wanna have dinner? Or do you rather take a bath? Or maybe... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!
(gohan ni suru? ofuro ni suru? so-re-to-mo... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!)

 

Konbanwa! Arashi no Aiba Masaki desu!
It's already getting very warm!
staff: Yes, hot.
Nee? We're almost in June. And today I got very tanned by the sun. See? My arm is completely red! And, this is, how can I say, a tan with a short-sleeved mark!? It's like, above the elbow it's totally white, and below is totally red ne.
The pain caused by sunburn is very tough. It stings a lot, doesn't it?
staff: Yes.
The sheet of when I go sleep stings so much. So I always take care and wear sunscreen. But today I didn't and ended up doing a photosynthesis. Yes, I did it.
But well, this time I would like to start with a psychological test. Let's start!

This is from... Eee... Iwate-ken, I received this from radio name "Masa King" chan! Arigatou gozaimasu!

Aibachan konAiba!
KonAiba!
There is an interesting psychological test, so please try it.
Firstly, fold your arms.
Hai, will do it.
Then check which arm is above.
For me, it's the right arm.
Is it only this? Let's check the result? Like this?

The result is... If the left arm is above, it means that the left brain is more developed, and if the right arm is above, then the right brain is more developed.
By the way, the left brain indicates a sharp/good sensibility, and the right brain means a great intellect.

But I don't understand very well what does it mean by sensibility or intellect...
Let's see the next psychological test.
I didn't understand it very well. What does sensibility mean?
staff: Art, for example.
Aaah... And what about intellect?
staff: Mathematics.
Aaah... Then I'm good in mathematical/exact science?
staff: I think so.
I see... Actually, when I was in the 1st year of junior high my mark in mathematics was 5. (5 is the best mark/grade.)
staff: Heee...
But it was only in the 1st year.
Let me continue.

I received this from radio name "cash register pro" san!

KonAiba! Eee... Today I'm submitting a psychological test which I want Aibachan to do it.
You're walking in the street and another person is coming in your direction from the opposite side. What's the age of this person?
That's the psychological test.

Eh? You're walking and another person is coming in your direction from the opposite side. What's the age of this person...
21 years old, I guess. Hahaha!!
The result... In this psychological test, the age that you answered shows your mental age.
Urusai! I'm almost 26!!
staff: Hahahaha!!
21... Well... I'm glad that at least I didn't answer junior high student ne.
I'm glad! Hahaha!!

So let's start this week's Arashi! Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!

 

Again... Konbanwa! It's Aiba Masaki from Arashi! This program is broadcasted to the national network, having Tokyo Hamamatsu's Bunka Housou as the key station.
Quickly, I would like to play tonight's first song! This is a song that I want everyone to learn, please! This song may appear in the test afterwards! Please, memorize it! So please listen, One Love by Arashi!

 

.....One Love.....

 

Anata no mimi ni checkmate!! Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!
(checkmate to your ear!)

 

(Omoide Shredder) Memory Shredder

Omoide Shredder has the purpose of taking your shameful/embarrassing memories or past memories that you want to forget, and having them shredded by me, Aiba Masaki, using a shredder.
This week we received so many as well ne! We received a lot of memories to be shredded, so I would like to introduce them!

Eee... From Fukui-ken, Chisato-chan? Chiduru-chan? Chihiro-chan? I made some mistakes... I received this from Chihiro-chan! Arigatou gozaimasu!

Aibachan konAiba! It happened when I was in the 5th grade of elementary school, and we were in the middle of our preparations to commemorate the students in 6th grade who were graduating. I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, but I couldn't leave the place at that moment, so I tried to bear as much as I could.
When I was finally able to go to the toilet, I tried to lower the pants that I was wearing under the uniform, but I couldn't undress it. Because the waist of the pants was large so I tied it very firmly. The feeling of relief after reaching the toilet and despair mixed up, and before being able to lower my pants.......
Nobody noticed because I was wearing uniform, but I felt so ashamed. And in the end, I had to stay in those soaking wet pants, until we finish the preparations and go back home.
That was my worst and most shameful happening of my life.
Aibachan, please throw it away completely. Please.

I see... I think such situation may happen to anyone. For me too, after becoming Arashi, we were doing the rehearsals... And I wonder where it was... Perhaps in Osaka? I think it was in Osaka-Jo Hall. And I was already on my limit. Really in my limit. But the rehearsals had already started, and we can't just stop during the rehearsals. I can't say stuff like "Aiba-kun is going to the toilet, so please wait a minute!"
So I was really trying to bear as much as I could. I was almost to have a cystitis, but I had to bear.
Then, I ran to the toilet and... you know that feeling of relief... of the moment when we view the toilet in front of us... the moment of when we lower the pants... we feel that it takes so long...
Such thing happened to me. Yes, it happened...
But I didn't get soaking wet! Maybe just splashed a bit outside the toilet.
Let me continue.

I received this from ・・・san of Fukuoka-ken!

Eee... This is something that happened during my dance class, on May 15th.
We decided to use the debut song of Arashi "A.RA.SHI" to create the dance steps. When we first sang together, some people were making the same mistake as Taka-san of Tunnels (Ishibashi-san of Kuwazu Girai), singing like "Arashi Arashi Oh Yeah~!!" and I was making fun of them.
But we decided to do all over again, and sang one more time. But then I turned out to be the next one to be teased by them. I was singing "You are my son son~!" instead of "You are my soul soul~!"
If you think a little, it's directly translated into "You're my son, son" (Anata wa watashi no musuko, musuko~!)
Eee... For me, as an Arashi fan, and after making fun of the others so much, this mistake was really shocking. Because I've always thought that it was like that.
To make things worse, I realized later that the pronunciation of "soul" is not [son], but [sou]. It's like making mistakes after mistakes. As a high school student... Eee... This is indeed a shameful mistake.

But I think it may happen quite often, when it comes to songs. If you listen without looking the lyrics card, yes it may happen.
It happened to me too. There is a song of NEWS that says "It's big NEWS", but I've always thought that it was "1・2・NEWS!" (Read as "Ichi Ni NEWS!")
And I was always thinking that maybe they wanted to go like "1・2・3". Since such mistakes may happen, please take care ne.
Let me continue!

Eee... Continuing, this is from Yamaguchi-ken. I received this from radio name Poko-chan.

Eee... I enjoy listening to your radio show every week. Please, take my memory of a mistake that I committed some time ago, to the shredder.
The other day I went to a service area where there is a "Dog Run" ("Dog Run" are places where people can take their dogs to play, run, freely. Those places can be found along the highway, so that people who are traveling by car can stop over and take their pets to relax a bit.)
Maybe due to the Golden Week holidays, the "Dog Run" was very crowded. The dogs, tired of the highway travel, were all playing around, having fun. Although I myself don't have a dog, I was just looking at them, because I love dogs. Then, I noticed that there were some cats among the dogs, playing around in the grass, having fun together. I was going to say to a mother who was next to me, that "For cats, maybe it's called Cat Run." But instead of this, the word that came out from my mouth was "For cats, maybe it's called Dog Nyan!"
So I tried to correct saying "Ah, I made a mistake. I meant Nyan Run!" and ended up making another mistake. Then I said "No, it's not, it's not... I meant Cat Nyan", making mistake again! Although there were many people around me, I did a mistake all alone, and felt really embarrassed alone.

I see... I see... Huum... But misunderstandings may happen to everyone. I'll take this to the shredder ne, Poko-chan. Just wait a little ne. I'm going to read one more.

Eee... This letter is from someone who is writing for the first time. I received this from Emi-chan of Tokyo City! Arigatou gozaimasu!

Eee... I have a memory that I really want it to be shredded in the Memory Shredder. This is something that happened when I was working in a part-time job at a ski resort during my winter vacation of high school. I was in charge of the announcement of informations, and there was a work where we had to transmit the announcement to the entire ski resort, a couple of times during the day.
The phrase is almost always the same, so it's quite easy, we just have to repeat it, even so I did this mistake.
Near the end of the announcement...
It's written here "Please, read it like an elevator girl."
Eee... Where I should say "Please, attend the information place." I said "Impo... Aaah! Please, come to the information place." instead.
("impo" = abbreviation of impotence.)
I misspelled in the worst timing, and to make things worse, I was so shocked that I screamed like "Hah!!" I couldn't help it. For a moment, the whole ski resort burst out laughing, and I felt so ashamed that I couldn't go out from the announcement room for a long while.

I see... She misspelled and yet it became a word which makes sense ne... Especially, this "In... Impo, mation" right? This is kind of... It became a word that is not so nice...
Well, we can't help such mistakes. Let's move on with this life of high and lows, ne people.

So I'm going to take all those shameful memories from everybody, to the shredder.
(wiii~n!!)
Goodbye~ shameful past!
That was the Memory Shredder!
Now please listen to a song of Arashi! Happiness by Arashi!

 

.....Happiness.....

 

When the children fall asleep... In secret... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!

 

(Oshiete, Aibachan!) Tell us, Aibachan!!

I would like to answer the questions I received from the listeners by e-mails and letters! Today we have many as always. Let's start!

Firstly, from Kanagawa-ken. I received this from Yuri-chan. Arigatou gozaimasu!

KonAiba!
KonAiba!
It's been almost 1 year since I started to listen this radio show, and these days I'm curious about one thing. What's the beginning of "KonAiba"? Please tell me.

Alright. Yuri-chan. I also don't remember very well but... This was before Tsubouchi-san, right? When Tsubouchi-san first came, it was already "KonAiba" ne. So when the current director came, it already existed.
When was that? It was quite a long time ago... It's been 7 years since I started this radio show, right? I think that "KonAiba" appeared very in the beginning.
At first, a listener sent a mail and it was written in the beginning, "KonAiba" instead of "Konbanwa". And I thought "Uwaa~! This is fun!" and decided to use it. And since then, I've been using it all the time. That's it. So it began with a listener's idea. The "KonAiba"! It's been a long time. Well, sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't, but I want to keep using it, Yuri-chan!
Let me continue.

The next is from Saitama-ken, I received this from radio name Nappii-chan!

Konbanwa!
KonAiba!
I always enjoy listening to your radio show every week.
Eee... Some time ago, I saw in a magazine that Aibachan wrote that the anime character that you like is "Ayanami Rei from EVANGELION".
(Remember when Nakagawa Shoko aka "Shokotan" was the guest on Shukudaikun? They wore cosplay and Shokotan chose the cosplay of Ayanami Rei coz she loves that anime character.)
I would like to confirm, is it true?
I've never read it but I heard a bit about the story, and I couldn't understand very well what is so interesting in it. Though I understand the other Arashi members who answered "Minami-chan from Tacchi".
So please talk intensely about the qualities that Ayanami Rei has. Please.

This... Actually, I don't watch "EVANGELION"... Hahaha!
But I remember that I was asked about that. I was asked "What character do you like?" when I was talking to the writer and to the person in charge of the interview. And I couldn't answer any anime character girl that I like. Then I was asked instead "What about Ayanami Rei?" So I answered "Aaah... I think she's nice. She has a nice looks." and judged by her looks. And what else... Tsukaji-san. Sometimes I go drink with Tsukaji-san, and Tsukaji-san loves "EVANGELION". And the only knowledge that I have is what I heard from Tsukaji-san when he was talking intensely about her.
Seems that she's an adroid, right?
staff: Yes, actually she's not a human.
Nabe-chan, do you know?
staff: I know.
Ah, do you know?
staff: Yes, of course! Hahaha!!
Hahaha!! Do you like? Do you like Ayanami Rei?
staff: Yes, but...
Hum.
staff: I prefer the other one, called Asuka.
Aaah... Asuka ne... The one that has orange coloured hair, right?
staff: Yes, that's it, that's it.
I... Actually I only know from that... how can I say... Since I've never watched the anime, I only saw the characters in a special edition of some book or something. What else? Shinji-kun?
staff: Ah, I know him.
Shinji-kun is the one who pilots Evangelion, right?
staff: Yes, he does.
And his character is kind of ambivalent...
staff: Hum. You seem to be very well informed. Hahaha!!
Hum. But Ayanami Rei was the one who piloted before.
staff: Yes, before Shinji-kun.
She piloted before ne.
staff: Yes.
And Ayanami Rei used to come back all injured.
staff: That's right.
That was a very useless talk, but that's all I know about.
staff: Aaah... Hai, hai...
Because Tsukaji-san had inputted that on me.
staff: Hahaha!
Although that's all that I know... Well... What I find nice? Think it's the looks ne. Hahaha!!
staff: Hahaha!!
Nappii-chan ne, I'm sorry for this useless talk.
staff: Hahaha!
Let me continue.

Eee... Eee... I received this from radio name "Torihada Souritsu" san of Saitama-ken. Arigatou gozaimasu!

Aibachan konAiba! I always enjoy listening to your radio show.
Seems that Chinen-kun really likes Ohno-kun of Arashi ne.
My question is, in Aibachan's Johnny's Jr. days, who was the senpai that you admired? Please tell me.

Well, the main reason of why I wanted to join Johnny's was SMAP, and SMAP are a senpai that I still admire a lot.
And among the Juniors, there was a kind of hierarchical relationship among the Juniors too. We also had a great difference of age.
So at that time, I wonder if you'll know... Kohara Yuki-kun. He was a senpai who was way above me, so I was always looking at him. I admired him. As for the dance too.
Well, at that time, the dance was the main, and the dance was everything.
Hum. I think so...
AIR MAX was very popular at that time. AIR MAX 96.
96? Huh? 96... a yellow coloured one.
staff: That was 95.
Ah! 95. Yes yes yes.
staff: The one that had a gradation of colors.
Ah, yes, the one of gradation.
staff: It's the 95 then.
It was really popular at that time.
staff: Air Max hunt?
Hahahaha!! Yes, Air Max hunt!
staff: Hahahaha!!
That became also a news. Quite often.
staff: Huum...
How nostalgic... Indeed nostalgic!
Many recollections coming out.
So we're waiting for your eccentric questions! Mail address is arashi@joqr.net or mail box 〒１０５－８００２　文化放送「嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス」!!

So now, I told you previously that it would appear in the test. One Love by Arashi.
Next I'm going to play the karaoke version, so everybody, please sing!!
So please listen, Arashi's One Love ~karaoke version~!

 

.....One Love~Karaoke Version~.....

 

The address for postcard is 〒１０５－８００２　文化放送「嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス」!!
E-mail is arashi@joqr.net - please write the name of the corner in the subject.
It's also easy to send messages from the mobile website of Bunka Housou.

 

The ending time is nearing... Today I played it twice! The new single One Love. Eee... It's going to be on sale on June 25th. This is the theme song of Fi... Eh? "Hana Yori Dango Final" ne.
Seems that the first press limited edition comes with a DVD.
We already recorded it! Just a few days ago. We did ne? We finished the shooting very smoothly.
This time, how does it look like? It looks quite tough to join all the CGs used in it.
Who was that director... He's the same director of another work... I think Arashi already worked with this director a couple of times, and the shooting went very well.
If I'm not wrong, the director has almost the same age as Riida. A very young director. And he's very good in works using CG and such.
So please, take a look at One Love. And please, listen to it too!
And also, we're in the midst of our 5 Dome Tour.
June 14th and 15th will be in Tokyo Dome, June 18th and 19th in Fukuoka Dome, and July 5th and 6th in Sapporo Dome.
People who are coming, please look forward to it!
Arashi Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!
Your partner was Aiba Masaki! See you again next week! Bye bye!!

 

- END -

Opening
Aibachan went to play golf with Matsuoka-san of TOKIO. Aibachan calls him "Matsu nii"
Matsu nii went to pick him up, and the appointed time was 5:50 in the morning. But Aibachan woke up late, actually he woke up only when the phone rang and Matsu nii was already waiting for him in front of his house. XD

A-1 GP Strongest Competition
- A listener who already received more than 65 certificates of various activities. Aibachan said that it makes him feel depressed coz he has only..... graduation certificates! XD
- The listener has 14 PCs (desktop and laptop) at home, and all of them are currently in use. Aibachan bought a laptop but he doesn't use it, so it turned out to be a decorative object in his room... ^^;;
- A listener who finds lost money in the street very often. Aibachan loses his wallet very often, but in almost all the times, it was found by a kind person who gave it back to him.
- The listener told that her mom consumes products that had already passed their shelf life... Aibachan told about something that happened a long time ago, related to shelf life and... poor him! ^^;;

Oshiete Aibachan
- Aibachan, have you ever been in a situation where you don't know exactly how to interact/relate to your family?
- A listener suggested Aibachan to do a psychological test that reveals how dirty/messy is your bedroom. What was the result?

 

 

Words in blue are my observations. Sometimes Aibachan talks to someone, but I don't know who he is. So I just put "staff" in orange, assuming that he's someone from the staff. ^^;
As always, many many thanks to aibaland for the audio file! ^^

You can lock the cell phone, but don't lock your heart! Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!

 

Konbanwa! Arashi no Aiba Masaki desu!
The other day ne, I went to play golf with Matsuoka-kun of TOKIO! Think it was about 1 week ago? That we went...
Matsuoka-kun told me that he would come to my house to pick me up. Isn't this wrong!? This situation is already strange. That was supposed to be the opposite! The correct would be me saying stuff like "Matsu nii, I'm going to pick you up, and then I'll go driving." As a kouhai, that would be the obvious thing to do.
Although I told him "Matsu nii, would you like that I go driving?"
He replied "No, it's not necessary. I'll go diving."
Since he told me that, I thought "So it's OK, today I'll rely on him. Maybe Matsu nii likes to drive." though I was still wondering about that.
Eee... Then, at the day... He was supposed to pick me up at 5:50 in the morning. At my house. Then when the phone rang "pururu~", I woke up and it was already 5:50. I thought "UWA!! I did it!!"
I didn't prepare anything yet!
Maa~, I changed quickly, and I wasn't in conditions to know even if I wore a golfwear or not. I just wore anything that was there. When I went down and said "I'm so sorry!" I had already made him await for 15 minutes. Ne?
He was already waiting for 15 minutes, and then when I said "I'm sorry!" and tried to enter the car, he asked me "Omae, where is your golf bag!?"
I forgot it, so I went back again to pick it up.
staff: You didn't take it!?
I didn't! Then I went to pick it up and apologized again. 20 minutes of delay already. In the end, I made him await in front of my house for about 30 minutes in total.
He told me "Are you a soba delivery man!?" Because I kept telling him "I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now" but actually I wasn't ready yet.
staff: Hahahaha!!
Of course ne, since he was waiting for me in front of my house. After such happening, we arrived at the golf course. Me and Matsu nii play golf quite often. And our score was 3 victories and 3 defeats. So there was a very good competition between us. But the last time we went, I finally lost. Now I have 3 victories and 4 defeats. But I was winning all the time. I was always winning, but in the end... Maybe due to a certain pressure, or maybe because he's my senpai... in the end, he beat me.
staff: Does it have sothing to do with your delay?
We already forgot about the delay.
During the play we already forgot about that.
Because the first thing I did when we arrived at the golf club, was to buy a polo shirt. I wasn't wearing a polo shirt, because I was so in a hurry.
And it's so expensive if you buy at the golf club! What a pity...
Next time I would like to play properly, in a more... perfect condition! I'll talk to Matsu nii and ask him to play again.
Then I'll talk about it again in the radio!

So let's start this week's Arashi! Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!

 

Again... Konbanwa! It's Aiba Masaki from Arashi! This program is broadcasted to the national network, having Tokyo Hamamatsu's Bunka Housou as the key station.
Quickly, I would like to play tonight's first song. So please listen, Yes? No? by Arashi!

 

..... Yes? No? .....

 

A: Yabai! Me ga juuketsu shiteru!
(Oh no! My eyes are red!)
O: Radio desu.
(Don't forget that this is a radio.)
A: Ah, that's true... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!

 

A-1 GP Strongest Competition

The "strongest" thing though it wouldn't be able to go to the Guinness Book. This is a corner where you can boast about something familiar to you that you think it can be the strongest/largest/biggest/amazing.
Let's introduce the "strongest" stuff from everybody this week as well!
There are quite a lot of things ne, in this "strongest" corner! Let's start with this one!

Eee... Radio name Mii-chan! This person is from Ibaragi-ken.

My A-1 is the number of certificates that I have. Those certificates are from 2nd grade of elementary school till 2nd year of junior high. I counted them, and there are 65 certificates. But there are some displayed at my grandmother's house, so actually there are more than 65.

Amazing ne.

As for the types of the certificates, 90% are of Shodo (calligraphy). Besides that, there are some of long jump event in track and field athletics competitions, internal tournaments of skipping roap, and also certificates of honor given to students of Ibaragi-ken who had done a benevolence.

Heee... More than 65 certificates... That's indeed amazing!
Think I have about 2 certificates... Graduation Certificates...
staff: Ah!? Those can be included as certificates?
Eh!? Why? Can't be? They can't be? But it was inside a tube for certificates!
staff: They're another type of certificate.
Those that anyone can receive? Anyone may receive those one?
staff: Hum.
Almost everybody can? I see... So... I don't have anything, if I think in that way.
I did a bit of shodo too. Actually. Gifted and Talented Education, right? I learned a little bit of piano, I did shodo, did swimming, did baseball, had private tutor, I have done various things, though the piano and the shodo, I quitted in like 3 months. Even before being able to receive a certificate... So...
It's making me feel depressed...
And there are people who can receive 65 certificates. Then let's do our best from now on, aiming for certificates... Aiming for the top of the top!

Let me continue! Eee... This one is from... I received this from Sakakibara Mizuho-chan of Chiba-ken!

Eee... Konbanwa! I always enjoy listening. Eee... I'm going straight to what I want to boast about. At my house there are 8 desktop PCs. If we include the laptop too, there are 14 in total. I suppose it's quite a lot. What do you think?
All of them are placed in a room of 7 mats. (In Japan the size of a room is usually measured by the number of tatami mats.)
And also, all of them are currently in use!

Amazing!
14 PCs in a room of 7 mats. I see...
staff: Hahaha!!
There are probably 2 PCs placed in each mat? How amazing!
I still can't use the PC...
staff: Do you have one?
I DO have! Because... You know iPod? I wanted an iPod, so I bought one. But then I realized that I needed a PC for that, to transfer files and such, so I bought a laptop then. The order is reversed though. I bought it but now I'm not using it at all.
Recently I'm kinda using a CD walkman more than the iPod. I'm returning in reverse...
Currently my laptop turned completely into a decorative object... Really!
staff: For mail and message you can use the cell phone.
Yes, that's true. Cell phone... For me, the cell is already enough to do everything.
Chika-san, you use your laptop quite often ne. What, for what purpose do you use it the most? Ah, for work ne!
staff: Yes, for work.
That's true.
staff: Although people in general use the PC quite often too.
Do you think so?
staff: To search and research.
No, we should research by our own feet!
staff: Hahaha!!
Huuumm... It's not good to stay researching on the desk. You have to use your feet!
staff: I'm so sorry...
Research everything on foot! Because the informations may be wrong! I usually research using my own feet. Always. Why of that is because... You can connect the internet through cell phone, but if the page has too many things to load, you can't view on the screen of the cell. That's why you should go directly!
staff: Hahaha!!
To see how it is now! Currently now! The situation of now! Because nowadays people are not using their own feet anymore!
staff: Using your own feet ne.
Yes!
staff: To see with your own eyes!
Let's check with our own eyes!
staff: I shall do it.
Let's do it from now on! At least us! Let's do it, let's do it. Ne?

Let me continue! Continuing.
Eee... This one is from Chiba-ken, I received this from Naru-chan.

Eee... About the title "A-1 GP Strongest Competition". Since 7 years ago, our family find lost money very often. The range of amount of money is very wide, and the highest amount was 190,000 Yen, while the lowest value we found was 1 Yen. Think we already found about 20 times. When I found the large amount of 190,000 Yen or the wallet containing cards and such, I went to the police box and took them to the "lost and found", of course, but don't ask me about the coins that my children happen to find.

Aaah... Sugoi ne...
If someone find 190,000 Yen, I wonder if doesn't happen a kind of conflict of what to do.
staff: But it's 190,000 Yen...
I wonder if the person doesn't feel like "Let it be..."
Or if the person does take it to the lost and found, in the police box, without thinking twice.
I lose my wallet quite often, but it returned back to me in almost all the times. So I always think that it was found by a kind person.
staff: The wallet ne... Maybe if it's only a bill/banknote lost in the street...
Aaah... That's true! Maybe it is!
staff: But if it's a wallet... Then it'll contain cards and driving license and such, so...
I think so ne. It's full of privacy. And it's kind of uncomfortable to open someone's wallet.
staff: Hum.
But if you don't open, you won't know who is the owner.
staff: Yes, you have to open, and then... "Ah!" If you find the name of the owner, you'll take it to the police box as a lost and found item.
That's true, that's true! At that moment, you'll open the wallet, like this...
staff: Yes...
I wonder though. Think the person will end up looking what's inside, for curiosity.
First you look for the license.
Then you'll check like "Ah! This guy has many credit cards..." or "Ah! And it's the gold one." or "It's a black card." Check such things and...
Aaah... I've never found a lost wallet. Do you? Have you ever found a wallet?
staff: Yes, I have. It had the public transportation pass and such... Well, it had almost everything of that person.
So that's something that must be returned back immediately to the owner.
Aaah... Really?
And we have to give a phone call to thank the person who found it. I remember that I gave a phone call to thank the person, and apologizing like "I'm so sorry..."
staff: Hum. Explaining the police man that this person found it for me, and asking for the person's contact to thank.
That's true.
So it's like this... From here everything depends only on you then.

Let's continue. Continuing. From Kagoshima-ken. I received this from Sumire-chan.

Eee... On to the main topic, at my home there are several products that have passed their shelf life. Especially milk, jelly and yogurt. Even if my mother buys a product which is about to pass its shelf life, it doesn't mean that she'll consume the product before the shelf life date. She'll eat it within 2 weeks after it has passed its shelf life.

Haa... At my home there are such things too.
It happened at my parents' house a long time ago. I went back in the middle of the night, and everybody was already sleeping. It was a late time so everybody was sleeping. I came late after work, and I was extremely hungry.
There was gohan (rice) on the counter. Cold gohan. So I put it into the microwave oven and after hearing the sound of "tin!" my tension went up like "Wooh!!", and I was wondering what I should eat with it. Then I decided to eat with "natto" (fermented soybeans). I found natto and I was mixing it. And I didn't turn the lights on, because my dad was sleeping right near there. So I felt sorry for him and didn't turn the lights on. And I was mixing the natto, and put some "karashi" (a kind of mustard, used as a seasoning) and ate it.
After I had eaten more than half, I realized that it was tasting different. So I smelled it and... Natto is already stinky, isn't it? But it was even more stinky!! It was incredibly stinky!!
staff: Even more stinky?
More than the normal. So I thought it was too strange and turned the lights on. When I saw the shelf life date, it had already passed half a year!
Can you imagine half a year, for natto? The soybeans were already very very tiny... I think they were actually bigger before.
staff: The beans were tiny?
They looked really small. That was too... I threw up!
staff: Hahaha!
Not the thing I was eating. But I put my finger down inside the throat and threw up.
Because it had already passed half a year. So I thought I would get sick, for sure, after eating such thing.
Such thing may happen. I suppose it's probably quite troublesome to check the shelf life and throw away. If you notice, of course you'll throw it away, but maybe you don't check it every time.
But I do hope the mothers could check it ne.

So today we had many "strongest" informations as well.
If you also have something that you think it may be the "strongest", please send it to us!
Eee... That was the A-1 GP Strongest Competition!

 

O: paio-tsu kaide na, derumo no chan-nee mo kiiteru!
(What a big breast, model gals are also listening it!)
A: REALLY?? (maji de??)
A/O: Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!

 

(Oshiete, Aibachan!) Tell us, Aibachan!!

I would like to answer the questions I received from the listeners by e-mails and letters! Let's start!!

I received this from radio name Miwa-chan! Arigatou gozaimasu!

Aibachan konAiba!
KonAiba!
I always enjoy listening to your radio show. On to the main topic. Recently I've not being able to talk to my family properly. I become irritated and end up discounting on them. Especially when my father approaches to talk to me, I just ignore him. Then he'll kindly try to talk more, but I don't know how to react and end up taking a very bad behaviour towards him. Aibachan, have you ever been in a situation where you don't know exactly how to interact/relate to your family?

Aaaaah... I see... I think such situation is more common to women ne.
As for my family, I think I was really lucky. Regarding those family situations.
When I was little, I grew up at my grandma's house, so I didn't spend much time with my mom, until I began to attend elementary school. And I think perhaps that turned out to be an advantage.
Think I grew up without having any rebelde fase at all, though I did bring many troubles for them. Although I brought many situations of that kind, I never felt irritated or angry towards my family. And even if I do feel angry, I don't take it so deep.
Think our family is a rare kind of western style family. I think western people really care about their family, don't they?
I wonder what she should do... I wonder what does irritate her so much.
Huuum... But family is family, is neither more nor less than the family. Family is only one. Friends you can have many, but family is only one. So we wouldn't like to have those disagreements in family ne. That's what we want to avoid the most. They're worse than quarrels among friends ne. Because if you think, who will stay by your side, in the end is always the family. To the family, you give unconditional love.
So Miwa-chan ne, maybe little by little, it would be good if you could try to approach and talk to them. I don't understand very well, but perhaps you could start by watching TV together. Even if you don't talk, if you watch the same things, you may feel the same things. If you keep doing such things, I think you may get along very well. So Miwa-chan, try to do your best ne.

Let's continue! Continuing, the next question.

Aibachan konAiba!
Please do this psychological test.

Shall we do it? Let's do it, this psychological test! People who are listening too, are you ready? We're going to start, we'll start the psychological test! Please do it together with us!

You're sleeping in your bedroom, and a ghost appeared there. The ghost is floating above the floor. How many centimetres above the floor do you think the ghost is floating?

Eh? Sorry, wait a moment. You're sleeping in your bedroom, and a ghost appeared. The ghost is floating above the floor. How many centimetres above the floor.

Today my stomach is making noise all the time. I wonder if the noise can be heard? Not? I'm glad then! I'm reeeally hungry!
Wait... Think a little...
Well... I think 1 meter? I have an image that the ghost can be seen above, like this.
So Chika-san, let's check the answer.
staff: The answer?
1 meter!
staff: Eee... This is a psychological test that reveals how dirty/messy is your bedroom.
Really?
staff: Eee... If you answered 2~3cm, then you're an organized person. For more than 20cm, you're a very untidy/disorganized person. And then? 1 meter!?
Hahahaha!!!
staff: It shows how much sloppy/untidy you are.
Wait a moment!! You're saying such things, you may not know but my house is very clean! It's very clean!
Although as for the laundry, I can't say the same. Because I'm the type that usually accumulate a certain amount of laundry to wash them at once.
Do you know the basket where we usually put the laundry? I challenged a new record of it! A-1! It was Aiba-kun's A-1!! Can I tell it?
There is the basket, and I leave the laundry inside the basket. And the pile of laundry reached the roof!!
staff: Hahahaha!!!
The basket is placed in a corner, against the wall.
staff: The pile of clothes didn't fall?
No, because the basket is placed in the corner of the wall, so I thought that perhaps it would be possible to pile up till it reaches the roof. I kept doing that for about 1 week, and it did reach the roof.
staff: You must have many clothes then. (Because Aiba-chan didn't wash his laundry for 1 week...)
Yes, I do. Then, that was what I wanted to boast about.
staff: Including the underwear and everything?
Including the underwear and everything! For 1 week! Actually, during that 1 week, I did have time to wash my clothes, so actually I wanted to wash them, but I resisted because I thought it could reach the roof. And I took a picture of that too!
staff: Hahaha!
I took a photo, as a proof, because there is nobody. I thought that was amazing. I'll bring the A-1 photo next time.
staff: Of all the clothes that you undressed.
Of all the clothes that I undressed!
staff: The record of laundry that you piled up.
Yes, my record. Well, the roof isn't so high though. Think it's like this, about 2 meters?
staff: No, it's more.
About 2 meters and a half then?
staff: Huum...
I accumulated that amount of laundry.
My house is not messy though. Actually it's very clean! The floor, for example, is very clean! So don't say that it's dirty!
staff: Hum.
Did you understand?
staff: But in the psychological test...
A psychological test won't get me.
staff: That's it.
That's it. But let's do a psychological test again, cause it's fun.
staff: Ah, it's fun?
Yes.

携帯にロックかけても、心に鍵はかけるなよ！嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス

こんばんは！嵐の相葉雅紀です！！
あのね、いきなりなんだけどね、こないだ僕ね、ＴＯＫＩＯ　の松岡君とゴルフ行ったんですよ。
一週間ぐらい前かな。行ったんですけど。
松岡君が、家に迎えに来てくれると！これおかしいじゃん？その時点で！逆だよね！そもそもね。
「松兄、僕が迎えに行って、松兄、そっから乗せて行きますんで、僕、運転して行きますよ」っていうのがさ、普通じゃないですか。
後輩としてだよ！そりゃあ、当たり前のことだよ。なのに、俺言ったんだよ、ちゃんと。「松兄、僕運転して行きましょうか」と。
「いや、いいよ。俺がして行くよ。」って。
そう言ってくれたから、あっ、じゃあいいんだ、と。今日は甘えちゃおう、と。ね、松兄、きっと運転好きなんだろう、と。
まっ、そこはちょっとね、自分に問い掛けてたんだけどね。
ええ、それで、その当日、朝５時５０分迎えだったんですよ、家に。で、プルルって鳴って電話が、起きて、まず５時５０分だったのね。うわあっ、やっちゃった、と。なんも支度してねえぞ、と。言って。
まあ、パア～って着替えて。もうゴルフウェアかどうかすら分かってない状態。なんかその辺にあったの着て、下、下りて行って。「すいませ～ん」って言った時点で、もう１５分待たせてるんですよ。ね？１５分待たせてて、すいませ～ん、って言って。こう、車入ろうと思ったら、「おまえ、ゴルフバッグどうした？」と。で、忘れて、また取りに行ったわけですよ。
持ってなかった。（笑）
持ってなかった！で、取りに行って、「あっ、すいません」って。それでもう２０分。で、３０分位、合計待たせちゃったんですね。家の前で。
「おまえは、そば屋か！？」と言われて。「そば屋の出前か！？」と。「今出ます。今出ます。」って。全然出てねえじゃないか、と。
家の前で待ってるんだもんね。そりゃそうだよね。そんな事があって、ゴルフ場着いて。
僕と松兄って、結構ゴルフやってて、３勝３敗だったんですよ。だからもう、すごい良い勝負だったんですけど、こないだ、遂に負けてしまいまして。３勝４敗になったのかな。
ず～っと勝ってたんだよ。ず～っと勝ってたの。でも最後の最後でね、やっぱねプレッシャーというか、先輩の壁はやっぱり厚いよね。負けちゃうよね。
遅刻とは関係ない？
遅刻はもう、忘れました。だってゴルフ場に着いて・・・
そう。勝負ではもう忘れてます。ゴルフ場着いて、僕がまずした事は、ポロシャツを買ったからね。ゴルフ場でね。ポロシャツじゃなかったの。もう、慌てすぎてて。
ゴルフ場で買うと高いのよ！あれもったいなかったなあ。
もう一回、次回はちょっと、ちゃんとね、万全なコンディションでやりたいですね。
松兄にもう一回言いますわ。やってください、と。
また、ラジオで話しますからね。
じゃあ、それでは今週も始めて行きましょう。
嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス！

続いて行きます。え～、これはですね、千葉県の、榊原みずほちゃんから頂きました。

え～、こんばんは。いつも楽しく聴いています。え～、早速自慢です。えっと、私の家には、パソコンが８台あります。ノートパソコンも含めると、全部で１４台になります。多分、多い方だと思うんですけど、どうでしょうか。しかも、それが７畳の空間に全てあるんです。更に、全部現在使っております。

パソコンって、俺、未だにねえ、使えないんですよねえ。
持ってます？
持ってますよ、ちゃんと。だって僕、ｉＰｏｄ　あるでしょ？ｉＰｏｄ　が使いたくて、ｉＰｏｄ　買ったんですよ。あれパソコンじゃないと入れられないって事がわかって、パソコン買ったんですよ。逆だけどね、順番はね。それ買ったんだけど、今全然使ってないですね。なんか、最近また、ｉＰｏｄ　よりもＣＤウォークマン使ってますから。逆戻りですよねえ。
で、今パソコンはインテリアですね、完全に。ホントにね～！
メールとかも、携帯で。
そうですねえ。携帯、携帯で済んじゃいますもん、僕の場合ね。
ちかさんは、それ、パソコンやってますよね。何、何を一番やる？あっ、仕事ね！
仕事ですね。
そうだよね。
でも、普通の人もやっぱりねパソコン使うね。
使うかねえ、今。
なんか、お調べものとかさ。
いや、それは足で調べようや！そこは。
（笑）
う～ん。駄目だって、机で調べちゃったら。足だよ！
すいませ～ん。
全部、足！情報間違ってるかもしれないでしょ？僕なんか、割と足ですね、いつもね。何でかって言うと、携帯でさ、こう調べるとさ、あの、あのインターネットとか繫がるじゃん、携帯も。あれ結構、でもでっかい容量のとこ行くと、見れないでしょ、携帯だと。じゃ、だから～、軟弱になって行くんだって！今の、今！今、現在の話、ｎｏｗだよ、ｎｏｗ！
だんだんもう足使わないもんね、皆ね。
自分の足でね。
そう！
自分の目で。
自分の目で！確かめようよ！
そうしようよ。
そうしよう、これからは！僕らだけでも！そうしよう、そうしよう、ね！

続いて行きますよ。続いて、え～、これはですね、千葉県の、なるちゃんから頂きました。

え～、タイトルのＡ－１ＧＰ最強決定戦ですが、７年位前から、家の家族は、よくお金を拾います。金額は様々ですが、多くて１９万、少なくて１円を拾いました。今まで全部で、２０回位は拾ったかな。大きい金額１９万とカードの入った財布、え～、を拾った時はですね、もちろん交番に行きましたが、子供が拾ってきた小さな金額の事は聞かないで下さいね。

はあ～。凄いねえ。
１９万拾ってね、葛藤するんだろうねえ。しないのかなあ。
逆に１９万はー。
もう、ちょっと、このまま～、つって。このまま交番に持って行きましょうよ、みたいな感じなのかなあ。
俺もね、財布結構落とすんですけど、ほとんど帰って来てるんですよ。いい人に拾われたなあ、と思って。
財布ねえ。お札一枚落ちてたら、ちょっと。
あっ、そうかもしんない、そうかもしんない！
お財布はさあ。カードとか、免許書とか入ってるから。
もろ、そうだよね。プライバシーの固まりだよね。
う～ん。
開けられないよね。
うん。
でも開けないと、持ち主わかんないからねえ。
開けて、あっ、持ち主の名前があったら、もう、交番に。
そうだよね。そうだよね。そん時に、だってさあ、開けるじゃん。財布開けるじゃん、こうやって、パカって。
そうだね。
本当は。でもどうなんだろう。見ちゃうんだろうな。
一応ね。
まず免許書探して、あっ、こいつクレジットカードいっぱい持ってんなとか、あっ、金色だなとか、黒だなあとか、それのチェックして。
ああっ、すげえー。ちょっと、俺、財布とか拾った事無いんですよね。ありますか、財布拾った事。
ありますよ。あの、定期券が入ってたりとかね、もうその人の全てが。
それはすぐにでも、お返ししなきゃねえ。
はああー、そう。なんかお礼の電話とかはするよね。「すいませんでした～」って言って、俺お礼の電話したなあ。
警察に、この人が拾ってくれたから、って言って、連絡先もらって。
そうだよね。あっ、そうか。そっからは自分次第か。

続いて行きますね。続いて、鹿児島県のすみれちゃんから頂きました。

え～、早速ですが、家にはですね、賞味期限が切れた食べ物がたくさんあります。牛乳やゼリーやヨーグルトなどは特にです。家のお母さんは賞味期限ぎりぎりの物を買っても、切れる前に食べるのではなく、切れて、２週間以内に食べたりします。

はあ。家もありますね。実家で昔あった事なんですけど、夜中帰って、で、まあ皆寝てたんですよ。まあ、皆寝てる時間ですよね。仕事で遅くなって。すごい、どうしようもなくお腹が減ってて、ご飯がカウンターの上に置いてあって。あの、冷めたご飯ね。それを温めて、チ～ン、って言って、で、ウォ～、ってテンション上がって。何、何で食おうかな。で、納豆にしようと。納豆あったから。納豆かき混ぜて、電気つけなかったんですよ、親父が近くで寝てたんで。これ悪いな、と思って、電気消したまま納豆かき混ぜて、ちょっと辛子入れて、かけて食べてたのね。半分位食ってから、なんか違う味がするぞと、思って、匂い嗅いだら、納豆って、臭いじゃん。
うん。
ものすごい臭いのね。ものすごく臭かったの！
納豆の更に臭いの。
更に臭いの！で、これおかしいなと思って、電気つけて、賞味期限見たら、半年過ぎてたの。納豆で半年だよ？なんかね、豆とかすごいちっちゃかった。ホント、多分でかかったんだろうね。
ちょっと痩せて。
う～ん。な～んかもう、ひきわりみたいになっちゃってたね。
あれは俺、ホントに、吐いたもん。
（笑）
吐いたって、その食ってる物じゃなくて、奥、指突っ込んで吐いた。
なかなかねえ。
半年はねえ、ちょっと、さすがにちょっと、食っちゃたらおかしくなるなあと思ってね。あるよね、そういうのねえ。
これ、でも捨てるのも面倒くさいんだろうなあ。気付いたら捨てるんだろうけどねえ。いちいちチェックしてないんでしょうね。これ是非ともチェックして欲しいよね、お母さんにはね。

と言う事でですねえ、今日も最強情報いっぱいありましたけども、皆さんもですね、これ最強じゃないの、と言うものがあったら、送って下さい。
え～、以上、Ａ－１ＧＰ最強決定戦でした！

 

パイオツカイデーナ、デルモノチャンネーもきいてる！
マジで！？
嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス！

 

教えて相葉ちゃん！

皆さんから頂いたメール・おハガキ、質問にどしどし答えて行きたいと思いま～す！早速行きますよ～！

これはですね、ラジオネームみわちゃんから頂きました。ありがとうございます！

相葉ちゃん、こんあいば。
こんあいば！
いつも楽しくラジオ聴いています。突然なんですが、私は今、家族に素直に話す事ができず、イライラして当たってしまいます。特にお父さんには、話し掛けられても、無視してしまいます。お父さんは気を遣って、もっと喋ってくるのですが、どう接していいかわからず、ひどい態度を取ってしまいます。相葉ちゃんは家族とどう接して良いか、わからなくなった事はありますか？

はあああ、なるほどね。こういうのってでも女性が多いよね、俺思うに。
家はねえ、すごく、多分恵まれてたんだろうねえ。あの、そういう、家庭内状況というか。僕、ず～っと、ちっちゃい頃おばあちゃん家で育てられて、小学校に上がるまでお母さんとはあんまり一緒にいなかった、っていうのが、逆に良かったんだと思うんですよ。
あまりその反抗期が無く、まあ、迷惑は掛けたよ、たくさんね。そんなのは、しょっちゅうありましたけれども、あ～、腹立つなあ、とか、ムカつくなあ、と思っても、そっから先には感情いかないですね。珍しい位、ちょっと欧米スタイルな家族なんですね。欧米人って結構家族大切にするでしょ？
どうしたらいいんだろうねえ。何がそんなにイライラするんだろうね。
う～ん、でもさ家族はさ、家族で、家族以上でも以下でもないんだけどさ、家族って言うのは家族しかいないわけじゃん。友達って言うのはいっぱいいるわけじゃん。そこの家族っていうジャンルで、あんまりその、いざこざとか嫌だよね。一番嫌だよね、友達とのいざこざより嫌だよね。だって結局最後に見方になるのは家族なわけじゃん。無償の愛じゃん、家族には。
だからね、みわちゃんもね、ちょっとずつなのかなあ、話し掛けてあげるとかしたら、いいと思うよ。なんかわかんないけど。一緒にテレビを観る事から始めるとかね、喋らなくても。同じものを見てればきっとね、同じこと感じるだろうしね。そうしていけば仲良くなれるんじゃないかなって思いますね。みわちゃん頑張ってね。

続いて行きます！続いて、続いての質問。

相葉ちゃん、こんあいば。
早速ですが、心理テストをしてください。
やりますか？やりましょうか、心理テスト。リスナーの皆さんもいいですか？行きますよ、心理テストやっちゃいますよ。一緒にやって下さいね。
部屋で寝ていると、幽霊が現れました。幽霊はふわふわと床から浮かび上がっています。床から何センチの所に浮いていると思いますか？
えっ、ごめん、ちょっと待って。部屋で、寝ていると、幽霊が現れました、幽霊はふわふわと床から浮かび上がっています。床から何センチ。
ず～っと俺お腹鳴ってるんだよね、今日。今音拾ってるかな。拾ってない？よかったあ。すげーお腹減ってるんですよ。
待って～、考えろ。
まあ、１メートル位かな？結構僕のイメージだと、上からこう見られるイメージがある。
ちかさん答えいきましょうよ。
答えですか。
１メートル。
え～、これはあなたの部屋の汚さが解っちゃう心理テストです。
ホントかいな？
え～、２・３センチなら綺麗ずき、２０センチ以上なら整理整頓が苦手、と言う事です。ですので１メートル！？
（笑）
どれだけ整理整頓が苦手かと言う事ですね。
ちょっと待って下さいよ！知らないと思って言ってますけどね、家綺麗ですからね！凄く綺麗です！ただ、洗濯に関してだけ言わしてもらうと、洗濯だけはちょっと、まとめてやる派なんで、洗濯物のあの籠あるじゃない？俺新記録挑戦したんですよ、Ａ－１、相葉くんのＡ－１、言っていいですか？
籠があって、籠の中にどんどん洗濯物をつめていくじゃない？それが天井までいったんです！
（笑）
こういう壁の奥にあるのね。
倒れないんですか？
壁のコーナーにそれを置いてるから、上手いこと積み上がってって、これいくんじゃねえか、って言って、一週間位やり続けたら天井いったんですよ。
衣装持ちですねえ。
衣装持ちでしょう？っていう自慢話ですからね、皆さんね。
下着も全部？
下着も全部いきましたね、一週間！だからちょっと、だから、ホントは、その、やっぱ時間はあるわけじゃない？そこでホントは洗濯したかったよ、我慢したんだよ僕は、これ天井まで行くんじゃないかと、写真も撮ったよ僕は。
（笑）
写真も、一応証拠として、誰もいないから。これはすげーだろうと思って。今度持ってくるよ、Ａ－１の写真。
脱いだ服。
脱いだ服！
洗濯物を積み上げた記録。
記録。まあ、そんな天井高くないよ、これぐらいだよ、いっても、２メートル位か。
いや、もうちょっと。
２メートル半位か。
う～ん。
それ位ためましたんでね。汚いっていう事はないよ、綺麗だもんだって、ホントに、床とかは。だから汚いとかって言うなって事。
うん。
わかった？
心理テストでは。
心理テストで解ってたまるかと。
そういう事です。
そういうこと。また、でも、心理テストやりましょう、面白いんでね。
あっ、面白い？
はい。と言う事であなたからの恥ずかしい質問を募集しております。

Opening
Aibachan and Ohno-kun went to Disney Land together! (They also talked about it during the MC of their con ne ^^)
The listener wrote that during Music Station (broadcasted on May 2nd) Nakamaru-kun (KAT-TUN) said that he went to Disney Land with Masuda-kun (NEWS) and they spotted Aiba-kun and Ohno-kun there.
Aibachan said that it was an invitation day (only invited people can go on that day, I think), in commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of Tokyo Disney Land, so there weren't so many visitors. Then he talked about what attractions they went.

MMC News
Many many MMC News! Some of Aibachan's comments, related to the news that he read.
- Omu-rice is an omelette with rice inside, usually with ketchup on the top. And it's very common to write the name of someone, or to draw something, like a heart mark, with ketchup. Aibachan confessed that he would like to have something written for him! XD Hahahaha!!
- Aibachan wonders why the person who gives the idea to decide something with janken, is always the one who loses! ^^;;
- Aibachan likes marshmallows filled with chocolate! ^^
- There is something that Ohno-kun always says: "If you eat 5-10 marshmallows per day, you may become taller." It's not proven though. XD

Oshiete Aibachan!
- Aibachan was asked if he know what were the possible names that his parents were thinking of, before deciding to put Masaki. He answered that he've never asked about it, so he doesn't know. ^^;
- Aibachan talked about his friendship with Yokoyama of Kanjani8! They're very close friends. He talked about many things and it was very funny!

 

 

Words in blue are my observations. Sometimes Aibachan talks to someone, but I don't know who he is. So I just put "staff" in orange, assuming that he's someone from the staff. ^^; When it's written (.....) it's because I couldn't hear what he's saying, coz he's probably not using mike.
As always, many many thanks to aibaland for the audio file! ^^

A: Do you wanna have dinner? Or do you rather take a bath? Or maybe... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!
(gohan ni suru? ofuro ni suru? so-re-to-mo... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!)

 

Konbanwa! Arashi no Aiba Masaki desu!!
Finally the Dome Tour has started!! Kyosera Dome! Amazing ne!! It was a very nice place! We're still going to various other regions, so please, look forward to it!
I would like to start introducing a mail! Eee... This is from Ehime-ken, pen name Moka-chan!

Aibachan konAiba! The other day I was watching Music Station, and Nakamaru-kun of KAT-TUN was saying that he went to the Disney Land with Masuda-kun of NEWS, and then he met Arashi's Ohno-kun and Aiba-kun there. Is it true? That's kinda surprising! Does such thing happen very often? I like Disney Land too, so I want to go there again!

We were spotted there ne! Me and Riida went there together. It's true that we two went together... but actually the manager was together too. Maaa~! It was so amusing!! We don't have this chance to go to the Disney Land so often. Isn't it? Don't you think so? We can't go ne! And that day was, by coincidence, a day for invitation. So it was a day that there weren't so many visitors. We went on that day.
staff: For the 25th Anniversary.
Yes, in commemoration of the 25th Anniversary.
And we went to that... how is it called... We went firstly to the Haunted Mansion. And I could realize again, how it's impressive! The entertainment of Disney is really wonderful! Even if we pick up only one of the characters, it may be one in the Haunted Mansion, for example, it's amazing! Each character does so perfect/distinct movements ne. Haaa... I thought that was really amazing...
What else? The one of water, the Splash Mountain? Is it? We went to that attraction too! Sitting down side by side with Riida! Hahaha!
staff: Hahaha!!
And there is that part where we fall through a slope, and they take a photo of us. Then we were asking each other like "Let's buy the photo or not? What shall we do?" "Hum... But what will we do, buying such thing..."
staff: Hahaha!
"It has only two of us... It's a bit sad." Then we didn't buy.
And we went to another one! Splash Mountain... The Space Mountain! This is the one that we pass through the darkness, going to the right, to the left... For me, that one was really amusing! As a roller coaster, I think it doesn't gain a so high speed.
staff: (.....)
That's true. Even so... because it's dark, and we can't see where we're going towards... those things bring us a feeling of fear.
If we think in this sense, I really admire that. So that is what I was trying to say? I think so ne, probably. If I talked till I get here, it must be that.
staff: That you went with Riida.
Yes, the conclusion is that I went there with Riida. Hahaha!

So let's start this week's Arashi! Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!

 

Again... Konbanwa! It's Aiba Masaki from Arashi! This program is broadcasted to the national network, having Tokyo Hamamatsu's Bunka Housou as the key station.
Quickly, I would like to play tonight's first song. So please listen, Happiness by Arashi!

 

.....Happiness.....

 

Anata no mimi ni checkmate!! Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!
(checkmate to your ear!)

 

It's Aiba Masaki.
I would like to transmit the very very small news. The MMC News.

Yesterday Reira-san from Shimane-ken was going to throw away her sportswear of her period of student, but she felt embarrassed of throwing it away in the way it was, so she cut off the part of the chest where her name was written on, and ended up creating a "chikubi aki" T-shirt (the famous T-shirt with holes on the nipples ^^;) which is used by the popular idol group Arashi. However, Reira-san decided not to use it, and threw it away as a recyclable material.

Well, of course you can't wear it. Even for us, it's risky! And Reira-san is a woman, right? So I think it's completely out yo! I'm glad that you didn't wear it ne.
Let me continue. Eee...

A non-fiction TV drama called "Aiba Monogatari" (愛馬物語) was broadcasted on May 3rd, Saturday. Ribon-san from District of Arakawa tried to watch it because she is a Aiba fan, but she realized that the drama was about a story of a beloved horse, so after all, she didn't watch it. On the other hand, for now there isn't any plan of making a drama series of the story of Aiba Masaki.

Of course, there isn't! Ne? Of course there isn't! Haha! I've never seen such thing besides for sports athletes! The Story of Matsuzaka Daisuke, for example. Or the story of Matsui-san. I've seen only such things. So of course there isn't!
Let me continue. Eee... This is of May 3rd too.

Chiharu-san from Nagano-ken, who celebrated her birthday of 17 years old on May 3rd, went to a cafe with 4 close friends and ate a Jumbo Parfait. The Jumbo Parfait has 50cm of height and it's a special menu which is served only for the person who is celebrating birthday, and it's a famous menu of that cafe. Furthermore, seems that it was written "Happy Birthday", with ketchup, on the omelette that her friend ordered.

This one... Ketchup is interesting, isn't it? The ketchup of the omelette is very nice ne! I feel a kind of youth in it. It may be a heart mark or the name written on it. Somehow I wish to have something written to me. Although I've never revealed this wish anywhere before!
Let me continue.

It was revealed that Norie-san, who lives in Nara-ken, used an eraser until it became with 7mm of diameter. She quitted using it because the eraser of 7mm was making her scratch the note with her nails. Norie-san has a personality of poor and she always uses her belongings very carefully. She already wore the same sneakers everyday, during 5 years.

It's ecology ne! Huum! Ecology, ecology! It's good!
Let me continue.

It was revealed that Invisible Man Love san, who lives in Saitama-ken, suddenly became strong in "janken" after she entered the high school. Until junior high, she was really weak in "janken", so Love-san always lost to her siblings and was obliged to go buy stuff in the supermarket. But recently she became able to win in "janken", so now she can always take bath first, what make her really happy.

Is it possible to become strong in "janken"? "janken" is luck, isn't it?
So maybe she became lucky now. Love-san ne.
But I wonder why the person who starts with "Let's decide it with janken" is always the one who loses. Ne? The person who gives the idea always loses... I wonder why...
Let's continue.

It was revealed that Aiba Masaki was starred in the dream of Momo-san 12 years old, who lives in Nagano-ken. In that dream, Momo-san and Aiba Masaki were shopping in a 100yen shop. Seems that Aiba Masaki, after putting lots of various types of marshmallows in the basket, said "marshmallows are extremely delicious, that's why I need them no matter what."

Huum... Well... Marshmallows ne. I can say that I like. And it may be possible to say that they're extremely delicious, though if I would choose, I like those that are filled with chocolate! Those that are sold for about 10yen. Then I would probably say that they're extremely delicious.
Think I usually don't eat so often those marshmallows that don't have any filling.
There is something that our Riida always says.
He says that if you eat 5 or 10 marshmallows per day, you may become taller.
staff: (.....)
Have you never heard? Hahaha!! I think it's a bit strange too!
Then I asked Riida to do it. But then he replied "No, I won't do that."
He said such thing. So I have only half of this talk...

So... Eee... We'll still continue doing this MMC News, so please send us your MMC News!
Mail address is arashi@joqr.net or mail box 〒１０５－８００２　文化放送「嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス」!!
That was the MMC News!

 

When the children fall asleep... In secret... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!

 

(Oshiete, Aibachan!) Tell us, Aibachan!!

I'll answer to the questions I received from the listeners by e-mails and letters! Let's start!!

This is the first one. Huum... From Okayama-ken, I received this from pen name Yuzu-chan! Arigatou gozaimasu!

Aibachan konAiba!
KonAiba!
I have a question. Those pants of the outfit that you guys wear during the concert, have a kind of velcro stuck on the lateral parts of the pants, that allow you to take them off easily, but can you wear them as a "normal" pants too? All the outfits are like this? I'm curious about it, so please please tell us! By the way, if there is any episode of failure/mistake regarding those outfit, please tell us about it too.

Alright... This is the stage outfit, but recently we aren't using anymore those outfit with velcro that allow us to change quickly. We can take off those type of outfit really fast. It's possible to take them off in like 3 seconds. With those pants with velcro we can change in 3 seconds to the other pants that we're previously wearing under the pants with velcro. But recently we are not using them so often. We strip the pants off in the normal way.
staff: So on backstage you're in underpants only?
Yes, running here and there in underpants only. The other members are only in underpants as well.
staff: Hahaha!!
It's like having a community of naked people... Including the Johnny's Jr. as well. Huum... Our backstage is surprising. Because it's like our battlefield ne. Very hard though...
staff: Doesn't happen to not find the outfit?
I had many experiences of not finding my outfit, during my Jr. days.
staff: (.....)
Such things happened many times. There is a place called "daishita" (under stage). It's under the stage. I wonder how many centimetres of height it has. The roof is almost at the same height of our waist, and that was at that time, when I was more little than now. At the height of our waist, so we couldn't stand up properly. Then we used to change under the stage, at "daishita", bent down, and change our clothes. And going out directly from there.
Well, maybe we didn't make a good choice of the place where we left our outfit ne. Sometimes it happened for someone of the staff to ask "What's this!? The outfit is dropped off here." and taking them to another place. Then, although we explain that "but we left our outfit here..." it was difficult to make communications.

Let me continue. Next is... Eee... This is from Tokyo City, District of Setagaya. I received this from radio name Eriko-chan. Arigatou gozaimasu.

Aibachan konAiba! I enjoy listening to your radio show every week. The other day I was looking the bookshelf at my home, in my hometown, and there was a book called "Baby...
Eh, what's this? Is it "mei mei jiten"? "mei mei jiten" (a kind of "naming dictionary")
And in this book it was written a list of possible names that were chosen for me and for my younger brother, when our names were decided.
I'm 25 years old now, so this is from 25 years ago!

This makes my tension up!! This is a list of possible names of yourself, right?

I roughly counted the names that were listed, but there are more than a hundred. Even after they've decided my name as Eriko, they were still in doubt about the kanji. There were many options with different kanji too.
There were times during elementary school that I used to think that I rather not to have "ko" in the end, but now I really like the name Eriko, including the kanji. Aibachan, do you know what was your possible names? Do you like the name Masaki? Please tell me. By the way, the name of my little brother is Masaki too.

I see... I've never asked about the options of my possible names... I wonder what was.
But I remember that there were times that I used to think that I would prefer a name of only one letter, because Masaki has 2 letters. (雅紀)
staff: (.....)
Yes, yes. Like Matsumoto Jun(潤), or Sakurai Sho(翔), for example. Because they seemed to be more easy to write. And Masaki was kinda difficult to write, for an elementary school student.
staff: Miyabi... ("miyabi" is how the kanji 雅 is read)
Miyabi! Huum... I was thinking "What IS this kanji!?"
I remember very well about such thing. I didn't have nothing against my name, though it doesn't mean that I liked it.
Nowadays there are other current popular names, aren't there? Fashion? Out of fashion?
No, out of fashion not. It doesn't exist "out of fashion" in names, but maybe there are some names that suddenly become popular. So what are them now?
staff: I wonder too... Maybe "Sho-kun" for example...
Chika-san, you have children ne.
staff: Hum.
What are the most common names in the school, or kindergarden?
staff: Maybe those names that end with "ta". For example Yuuta.
Heee... Very Japanese style ne. The other day I went on location, and I met a very young mama. She is one year older than me, so about 26. And her name was Yuriya, I think.
staff: Ah, those that end with "ya" are popular too.
A little western like, but still Japanese style. Those are very common nowadays ne.
staff: And what about those names that usually appear in characters of manga?
Are you by any chance talking about "Hokuto no Ken"!? (In English this manga is called "Fist of the North Star")
Kenshiro? Haha!
staff: (.....)
Heee... Then maybe it's time for Dragon Ball too. Buruma, Yamucha, Tenshinhan among others.
staff: Hahaha!!
Fufufu! Tenshinhan would be weird... Hahaha! Because that's actually the name of a chinese food ne. There are so many names... So I think it must be really enjoyable (to choose the children's name), if you stand in the mom's position, or in dad's position! I'm sure that it must be really fun ne! I bet we'll become very indecisive to choose, and make rounds, and return to the starting point again, and finally can decide it ne! That's what I imagine!
Let's continue!

Radio name Sauce-san, this is from Iwate-ken.

Aibachan konAiba! The other day you said in "Himitsu no Arashi chan" that once in 6 times, Ninomiya-kun's underpants pop up from your bureau. And you guys were saying that it probably came mingled with other stuff, at the time when you were living in a "gasshuku".
So please tell any episode of that time when you were living in "gasshuku".

(合宿 - I don't know what's "gasshuku" in English... It's a place, it may be a house, or a lodging, where some people live together for a certain period, for some days, some weeks, for training/learning. For example, in Japan, students from junior high or high school, who join any club activity, sports in general, usually go to a gasshuku during their summer/winter vacation, specifically for training. In this case, probably Aibachan and Nino were living in a "gasshuku" together with other Johnny's Jr. during their Jr. days, I think.)

I was always with Yokoyama of Kanjani, and Murakami and Subaru, also Tackey... Maaa! I argued with Yokoyama so often! The one with whom I usually went for shopping together is Yokoyama too! Yokoyama is the one who was always coming to my house too, to sleep at my house.
I wonder why! We were like kids always doing silly/non-sense things! Maybe it was a result of our spirit of youth!
There was a headphone that Yokoyama had just bought. And I don't remmeber why, I think we were teasing each other, and I think he did something on me first. Maybe he dirtied or broke my new belonging, so I took his headphone and I was holding it above the toilet, saying stuff like "Oi, Yokoyama! Look here, can I drop it off?" And we were joking like this, but sometimes it happened to really drop off (inside the toilet)... Then it wasn't possible to use them anymore. Such things happened very often!
staff: Hahaha! Did that kind of thing happen so often?
Very very often!
What else, he spread toothpaste on my face while I was sleeping! Then I did the same to him too... We stayed only doing such things... How nostalgic...
Me and Yokoyama were once harrassed! At a lamen stall. Maybe because it was a late time at night. A mad looking guy (Aibachan said "kowai oniichan") came to us, maybe thinking that we had some money...
We paid (for the meal) first, and whispered to each other "We'll rush from here, we'll rush from here, OK?"
And those mad looking guys were already standing behind us, I think they were in three. And we were only in two.
Then we whispered to each other "Let's go, let's go, let's go, GO!!!" and we dashed off from there together!
When it comes to run away, Yokoyama is REALLY fast! Really really fast!
And when I thought "Yabai, yabai, yabai! I won't be able..." they caught my bag, the rucksack of my back. At that moment I thought "It's over..."
Then I took the bag off, rushed and run away. Yokoyama had already stopped a taxi and was waiting ahead, saying "Come quick!!! Enter quick!!" Hahaha!! I remember clearly about that!
staff: (.....)
The bag? I returned to take it back. I got into the taxi but I said "Wait a moment, my bag is not here. I'm going to bring it back." And I took it back. (Here I didn't understand. ^^;; How he did to take it back, if the bag was taken by the 3 mad guys? Huum...)
Such things happened...

 

I ended up talking about such old memories...
So we're waiting for your sudden questions! Mail address is arashi@joqr.net or mail box 〒１０５－８００２　文化放送「嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス」!!

The ending time is nearing... Today I played "Take me higher"! This nostalgic song! "Take me higher" is the first choreography that I learned. So... it was how many years ago? Already 12... 11, 12 years? No, it's not! Because Arashi is already near our 10 years. So it was 13 years ago? I was in junior high. Uwa, how nostalgic!!
From now on, I'll be playing more nostalgic songs yo! I'll bring more songs of my youth/teens!
staff: Flashback?
Hahaha!! I think it's too early for a flashback ne. It's still early for a flashback, but I'll bring them little by little.

Eee... And also, we're doing our 5 Dome Tour now, ARASHI Marks 2008 Dream"A"live. It has started from Osaka, so people who are coming, please look forward to it!
Arashi Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!
Your partner was Aiba Masaki! See you again next week! Bye bye!!

 

- END -

 

By the way, the listener of the last question was talking about the episode of Himitsu no Arashi chan, broadcasted on May 8th. In the ending of the program, Aibachan revealed his himitsu:

"Once in 6 times, there is a Ninomiya-chan's underpants inside Aiba-chan's bureau."

Inside the drawer of the dresser, a pair of underpants written "Ninomiya" may pop up once in 6 times. Although it's written "Ninomiya" he doesn't care and wear it. XD I wonder if he's not willing to give it back to Nino, though I think it's too late to do so. ^^;;

Then Sho-chan asked "What about today?" and the result was that...

Nino and Sho-chan checking Aiba-chan's underpants. XDD Aiba-chan asked them to check if there is a name written behind, and Nino replied "It's not writen!"

嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス 2008.05.09

 

Opening
Aibachan created a baseball team called カラーズ and he is the owner of the team! ^^ Actually he created the team thinking of Karasawa D, the director of Shimura Doubutsuen who once came to Aibachan's radio show.

A-1 GP Strongest Competition
Aibachan read 5 mails about the listeners' "strongest" informations.
One of them was telling that at her school there is a "rhythm swimming club" for synchronized swimming, as one of the options of club activity. Then Aibachan told that he started to attend swimming school when he was 3 years old.

Oshiete Aibachan
- A listener asked if the panda plush toy that Aibachan took to play with the panda baby in Shimura Doubutsuen, was the same as the panda that Nino was using as a pillow in Duet May issue. Because for her, they seem to be the same. Aibachan said that he doesn't know, and he also said that it would sound suspicious if he says that he saw Nino's photoshoot in May issue of Duet. XD
- A junior high student told that she doesn't have neither free time nor opportunities to meet boys, because she studies in a female junior high school, and asked Aibachan how he managed to get a girlfriend when he was a student!!! XD
It's so cute when he replies "Did I ever say that I had a girlfriend!?"
Of course that actually he didn't answer if he had a girlfriend, or how did he approach to the girls. ^^;; Haha!

By the way, Aibachan is such a sportsman ne! He mentioned baseball in the opening, swimming in A-1 GP, and basketball in Oshiete Aibachan! I wish I was good in sports too! My sports skills are really BAD!!! ^^;;

 

 

Words in blue are my observations. Sometimes Aibachan talks to someone, but I don't know who he is. So I just put "staff" in orange, assuming that he's someone from the staff. ^^;
As always, many many thanks to aibaland for the audio file!

 

 

You can lock the cell phone, but don't lock your heart! Arashi! Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!

 

Konbanwa! Arashi no Aiba Masaki desu!!
It's getting warm now ne... Ne?
I... Well... it's not a so big thing... But I created a baseball team!
I've already been playing baseball, but that was a team of the office (from Johnny's). And this time I created a team as the owner!
The name of the team is カラーズ (I don't know if it is "COLORS" or "Karaazu", the way it is read ^^;)
Why its name is カラーズ is because...
Do you remember of Karasawa-kun, the director of Doubutsuen, who once came to this program? So our intent by creating this team was to "bring his teens back, one more time".
That's why it's カラーズ of Karasawa-kun. And he's the pitcher.
Let me try to explain why it became like this. Karasawa-kun used to play baseball when he was at high school. And he is a person who dedicated everything to baseball, aiming to participate in the Koushien. (Koushien 甲子園 is a simplification of Hanshin Koushien Stadium, where the national high school baseball tournaments are held every year.)
Although nowadays he have gained a little bit of weight...
He have been playing for a while. And when he was at the 3rd year, in the final stage, finally their turn came. They were winning during the round-robin tournaments, with a difference of about 10 points. They were winning, but after that, the next stage would be the knockout tournament, so they didn't have much confidence that they would continue. So Karasawa-kun was already prepared for it, in case it happens.
Then finally his turn came. And Karasawa-kun was positioned in the next batter circle, wielding lustily his bat. Then he entered in his position, and the sign that came from the manager was... "sacrifice bunt!"
Haha! Even though they had a difference of 10 points! He was like "A sacrifice bunt here!?" Karasawa-kun's thoughts were like "But if we do some attack here, we still have chance to go to the next match!". Even so, what came from the manager was a "sacrifice bunt"...
After hearing that story, my thought was "What a poor thing..." "Poor Karasawa-kun..." ne? Then I said "So what... I may do something for him. I shall be the owner!" Then I gathered some possible team members and created the team. We already played 2 games. And we won the 2 games! Karasawa-kun is the pitcher, the so dreamed pitcher. He said that he wanted to do it. Because when he was in high school, he could only play in the outfield.
Although we already played 2 games, Karasawa-kun played as a pitcher in the first game, but then he suffered an injury which will take 1 month for the fully recover...
staff: Ha?
Hahaha! It happened probably because... I wonder why... Although he played only in the first game, when he went to the hospital he was told that the injury will take 1 month for the fully recover. So he did some acupuncture, and actually he didn't play in our second game. Even though this is a team of Karasawa-kun.
staff: Even so...
Even so...
Well, that's what I've been doing these days! Here and there! Playing baseball and such.
staff: What about Aiba-san?
I'm usually the number 3 and I'm the center. It's the most kakkoii position!
staff: Looks like Shinjou's position.
Yes, looks like Shinjou-san indeed. (Shinjou Tsuyoshi is a famous baseball player, though I think he already quit playing.) I prefer being in the outfield. Cause the home... Well, I think the listeners can't follow me even if I tell such things... I didn't realize till now, but maybe I talked too much...

Let's start? Let's start this week's Arashi! Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!

 

Again... Konbanwa! It's Aiba Masaki from Arashi! This program is broadcasted to the national network, having Tokyo Hamamatsu's Bunka Housou as the key station.
Quickly, I would like to play tonight's first song. Let's play that one. Yosh! Once Again by Arashi!

 

.....Once Again.....

 

A: Yabai! Me ga juuketsu shiteru!
(Oh no! My eyes are red!)
O: Radio desu.
(Don't forget that this is a radio.)
A: Ah, that's true... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!

 

A-1 GP Strongest Competition

The "strongest" thing though it wouldn't be able to go to the Guinness Book. This is a corner where you can boast about something familiar to you that you think it can be the strongest/largest/biggest/amazing.
Let's introduce the "strongest" stuff we received this week from everybody.

This one, I really thought this is the "strongest" indeed. From Kumamoto-ken. Eee... Pen name... It's 和(kazu) of 和也(Kazunari) plus 葉(ha) of 葉っぱ(happa = leaf). I received this from Waha(和葉)-san!? Hahaha!

Aibachan konAiba! Our school is an educational institute of nursing, and the cleaning is very strict. Each student must make "Matsui bou" (This is the name of one of the inventions of Matsui Kazuyo-san, the lady who was a regular member in Golden Rush Arashi. It's a stick that makes the cleaning easier and it can be made at home. ^^;) using one set of chopsticks. Since there are about 60 students in each grade, there are about 120 sticks of "Matsui bou" in each grade. Since the students in 4th and 5th grade make them, so there are about 240 sticks of "Matsui bou" in the school. I'm submitting this because I think there isn't any school that has so many sticks of "Matsui bou".

I suppose so ne. I think there isn't. They probably have more than at Matsui-san's home. I think this is probably the "strongest".
staff: More than at Funakoshi-san's home.
Yes, there are more than at Funakoshi-san's home. Sure.
(Funakoshi Eichirou-san is Matsui-san's husband. He already appeared in Shukudaikun.)
This is indeed the "strongest". Let's continue.

Eee... From Saitama-ken, Kintaa~man!? Fufu! Or maybe Kinta-man!?
staff: Kinta-man.
I received this from Kinta-man.

Aibachan konAiba! I enjoy listening to your radio show every week. By the way, at my school there is a club activity of synchronized swimming, called "rhythm swimming club". Don't you think it's rare? Our coach is a medalist of the world swimming and is really good. By the way, I join the rhythm swimming club.

Amazing. Was there a synchronized swimming club? For me, there wasn't. Maybe it's a private school. It's written Saitama-ken. It's probably private.
staff: It's not possible to know...
Cause if it's a club activity, it means that they have it during the whole year. Maybe it's an indoor swimming-pool? For synchronized swimming, it must have a certain depth. In common schools... Well, at my school there was one at the roof, but seems that it doesn't sound like this ne. I remember that I always waited eagerly for the swimming-pool time. Always! Wasn't the swimming-pool fun?
staff: It was! Love it.
Did you like it? I do swimming since I was 3 years old. I used to attend the swimming school near my home, and until 5th year of elementary school, I think, I used to go swim twice a week... Twice a week. It was so amusing. I used to receive a kind of report, where I wrote down how many kilometres I swam during this summer. I did it.
And what was cool at that time was that... Do you know the cap, the swimming cap? There is a swimming cap made of rubber, the one which doesn't wet the hair. I wanted to use that, because when you're allowed to use them, it means that you became into another class/level. And the colors, it was also separated by colors.
staff: (.....)
Yes, yes. It starts in white, and then, later the cap starts to get some colors. And in the end, you can use the rubber one.
staff: The rubber cap is a higher level?
Yes, it was like this, even if we have the same age. So I did my best, dreaming for that... though I couldn't...
Let's continue.

This is from Chiba-ken... Oh! Ayakaru Paccho-san! This is really really near my house! Really!? Can I read this!? So close!
Eh!? Ah! And probably we also live in the same neighborhood. Maji!? (Really!?)

Aibachan konAiba! I always enjoy listening to your radio show. The other day I was walking the train station, and I found a poster of a lamen shop/restaurant called 嵐. I'll send a photo, so please take a look. By the way, this lamen restaurant is at Tsudanuma of Chiba-ken. Isn't it the "strongest", to have a lamen restaurant called 嵐 in Chiba-ken, the place where Aibachan is from?

But first of all, Ayakaru Paccho-san lives too close to my house! This place used to be my playground when I was at elementary school, here around my house. What I used to do... I think, from the 5th grade of elementary school, I used to go by bicycle, cause if I go by train the rate, for children, costs 60yen. But I thought it was a waste to spend even that 60yen, so I used to go by bike, taking almost 30 minutes to arrive. Then if I go there, there was a bowling center. How many years ago was that? Since it was when I was 10, when I was about 10 years old... So it's about 15 years ago, but in that bowling center, the score points were hand-written. A bowling center where it's hand-written...
staff: Yes, there were!
There were, right?
Huh? But isn't it strange that I know that!? Actually there was the normal computer lane, but also there were some lanes of the hand-written one, and those hand-written were a lot more cheaper. If a strike comes here, then you have to add 2 points, then add here, and such. Aaah... How I remember about that!
Let's go to the next one!

staff: And what happened to the talk about the lamen restaurant called 嵐!?

Hahaha!! Well, I think there was just a person called Arashi-san there. Let's continue.
Continuing... This is from Tokyo City. Eee... I received this from Akiyo-san!

My "strongest" information is the fact that a relative of mine is Tsuburaya-san from Tsubuyara Productions, of Ultraman.
Sugoi!!!
I myself knew about that just recently. My mother said to me "You didn't know!?"
Aibachan, do you like Ultraman? (a famous Japanese super hero series)

Yes, I do! From Ultraman series, I like the Ultra Seven!
staff: Same as me.
Really!? It's like Bejiita, in case of Dragon Ball. Or like Mitsui, in Slam Dunk. So if it was in Doraemon...
staff: If it was in Doraemon?
I can't say Doraemon... Hahaha!! In case of Doraemon it's not possible to relate...
staff: So in (Himitsu Sentai) Goranger, it would be the blue ranger.
Yes, kind of thing. That's true.
staff: Not the main centre.
Yes, the one beside...
staff: The one beside, a sort of cool one...
In case of Kinnikuman... it's like Warsman? Robin Mask? Brocken Jr.? Ramenman? Aaah... Anime is so interesting ne. The other day I heard about a collection that contains all types of Kinkeshi of Kinnikuman, and all the anime of Kinnikuman, including all the live action movies. It costs about some hundred thousands.
staff: Including the Kinkeshi as a set?
Yes. But I think it's not something to be bought at once. Don't you think so? And I wonder if I can buy and play with Kinkeshi, now in my age.
staff: Hahaha!
I thought of buying it, but when I thought whether I would be able to play with them or not, I became insecure and gave up...
staff: So in the end you didn't buy.
I didn't buy, but I would like to see that Kinnikuman collection.

Can I read the last one?
I'll read the last one. This is from Souka City of Saitama-ken. I received this from Momoko-chan. Arigatou gozaimasu.

Aibachan konAiba!
KonAiba!
This the "strongest" thing of my home. Eee... The other day Aibachan said that the temperature of the bath water is 47 degrees, right? But at my house, my father really likes hot bath, so we set the temperature for the astonishing 55 degrees. I realized this just recently, but isn't it the A-1? Here is the proof, by the way.

It's really set for 55 degrees. Isn't it impressive?
staff: I think it's a little impossible...
55. Well, so even if it's not exactly 55, it'll still rise to 53 or 4.
staff: And it's indicating the "high temperature" position.
High temperature...
staff: 55 degrees.
55... Isn't it almost the same as a boiling water bath!? Boiling water bath everyday.
This is indeed the "strongest".

So if you have something that you think it can be the "strongest" too, please send it to this corner, please!

Now I want you to listen to a song of Arashi. "We can make it" by Arashi.

 

.....We can make it.....

 

O: paio-tsu kaide na, derumo no chan-nee mo kiiteru!
(What a big breast, model gals are also listening it!)
A: REALLY?? (maji de??)
A/O: Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!

 

(Oshiete, Aibachan!) Tell us, Aibachan!!

I'll answer to the questions I received from the listeners by e-mails and letters! Let's start!

Eee... This is from... Huum... Nagasaki-ken, I received this from pen name Nami-chan. Arigatou gozaimasu.

I noticed this when I watched the special of Shimura Doubutsuen. The panda plush toy that Aibachan took in your hands to try to play with the panda bear, seemed to be the same as the panda that Nino was using as a pillow in Duet May issue. They happen to be the same? Aibachan, please tell me.

Instead of asking it to me, I think it'll be faster if asking to someone in charge of the edition. Haha! Honestly, if I'm asked if Nino was using the same panda that I was using, I really don't know... Actually they aren't the same... but maybe they happen to be the same? I don't know. Then I'll ask about it in the next time!
staff: What about asking to Nino?
But this is only if Nino was watching Doubutsuen.
staff: Ah, do you think he wasn't watching?
The probability that he wasn't watching is high!
staff: He doesn't watch?
Cause he's busy ne. Furthermore, if I say that I saw Nino's May issue of Duet, it's a little suspicious...
staff: Ah, you didn't see!?
I sa... I... Then I'll ask about it! I'll! I'll ask about it ne, Nami-chan. Ne? I'm sorry. Let's continue.

Continuing... Fukuoka-ken, pen name "Massu daisuki" san. Fufu! Arigatou gozaimasu. I'll tell Massu next time, if I meet him.
(If I'm not wrong, Massu is Masuda Takahisa of NEWS..?)

Eee... I always enjoy listening to your radio show. I am in the student council in a private female junior high school. (single-sex education) That's why I don't have much free time and I also don't have much opportunities to meet boys. Aibachan, how did you manage to get a girlfriend when you was a student? Please, tell me.

Did I ever say that I had a girlfriend!? I didn't say that!
staff: She's probably thinking that you had one.
Really? Well... The school that I used to attend was a coeducational school, and it wasn't neither a private school nor a male school. The elementary school was a coeducational school too, so actually I was in an environment surrounded by boys and girls together.
But, I had a kind of admiration for the girls of other schools. Don't you understand? They are. I don't know why of that kind of strange feeling.
staff: Also, a girl who studies at the same preparatory school...
Or maybe when there was a match/game (between schools)... Well, I used to play basketball, so when the male basketball and the female basketball, both go to a match, if there was any free time, we used to think of how we could approach them. We thought of it.
staff: To approach the girls of female basketball of the opponent school.
Yes, yes. Like how can I approach to the girl... But... well... it's difficult ne. Because you may call this "nanpa" ne. ("nanpa" is a kind of flirting in Japan.)
So there was no way for me to do it. I wonder what would be a good approach. The most important is to take the first step ne. But that's what is hard to find.
staff: Although I think that if we go back to our junior high school days now, with the head we have now, maybe there are some strategies.
There are? For me, there aren't. Hahaha! What would you do? Would you drop off a handkerchief or such? If you would go back in the way you're now. Suppose that you went back to junior high, in the way you're now, and you're in the basketball club. Then the opponent junior high school came to the match. How would you approach?
staff: That's to turn yourself into an easy type of person.
Hahaha!! For example? What do you mean by this? If you're an easy person, then you have an easy feeling and a sort of light behaviour...
staff: Do it and...
And what would you say then?
staff: Go straight towards the girl you like and...
And?
staff: And say that "I'm [...] from [...] junior high school. What's your name?"
Oooh... So you would ask her name first?
staff: Yes.
Haaa... So pen name "Massu daisuki" san must do that as well. Then it starts firstly from joining a club activity and participating in a match?
staff: Although I don't think it must be limited to a club activity.
Well... It can be a preparatory school classes as well. (Because students from various schools, different junior high, high school, etc, may attend the same preparatory school and meet students from other schools there.)
staff: Preparatory school as well.
Preparatory school can be too. Haaa... So "Massu"san, let's attend a preparatory school.
staff: (.....)
I think she can make it.

Eee... So everybody, I'm waiting for your questions yo! Mail address is arashi@joqr.net or mail box 〒１０５－８００２　文化放送「嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス」!!

Eee... So here please listen to a song. "Dreams Come True" by Hey!Say!JUMP.

staff: It's on next week.
Next week ne. Everybody, please look forward to it. Well... This week is ending too.

Your partner was Aiba Masaki from Arashi! See you again next week! Bye bye!!

 

- END -

Ohmiya SK returns!!!!! (Kyaaaaa!!!)

Opening: They started performing a dance and after that they performed Move your body <--- So I suppose this is the opening song...?

Encore: 2x!!
1. Do my best and Fight Song
2. Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi

Seems that they performed One Love!!!!! Don't know if they sang the full version...

They also sang a song called green!!

No performance of A.RA.SHI (This is so sad..... I wonder why they didn't sing it...)

There were some female dancers.

Aiba-chan's solo performance is very cute, and it's like Nino's "Himitsu"!! And he played harmonica in the middle! Aaaaaawww... I wanna see that!!

Will update more if I find more info! I wanna know more about their solo performances!!

嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス 2008.05.02

 

I'm glad to hear Aibachan's voice this week! He was genki as always!! ^______^

Opening
It's starting the Golden Week in Japan! But Aibachan said that they don't have holiday...

Opening mail
The listener told Aibachan that she's trying to guess what will be the opening song of Arashi's concert this year! Aibachan said that they already decided which one will be the first song but he can't tell it!

Omoide Shredder
- A listener from Yachio City thought that it was the place where the shooting of PIKANCHI was done. But actually the city was Yashio, instead of Yachio.
- The listener was in front of her apartment trying to open the door, but later she realized that she was standing in front of the apartment on the 3rd floor... But she lives on the 5th floor... She was almost to cause an incident!
- A listener who didn't realize that her zipper was completely open... Aibachan told that during Arashi's first concert, his zipper was totally open and he was waving like "Doumo arigatou!!" without realizing it. XD
- Aibachan read 2 mails talking about mistakes in reading a word in kanji. There was a kanji that Aibachan couldn't read too. ^^;

Oshiete Aibachan!
- Why Sho-chan and Aibachan were sharing the same dressing room in Gakkou e Ikou MAX?
- When Aibachan was a kid, was there a kind of ritual that your mama used to do to you before you fall asleep?
- If you're going to meet someone at the meeting place, Aiba-kun is the type that arrive before the appointed time, or the type that come late?

Ending
Aibachan prohibited using the internet, after their first day of concert in Osaka. Because people may report about their con and if you see the net, you'll find out what will be the first song! So he said that "net is prohibited!!"

 

 

Words in blue are my observations. Sometimes Aibachan talks to someone, but I don't know who he is. So I just put "staff" in orange, assuming that he's someone from the staff. ^^;
As always, many many thanks to aibaland for the audio file.

 

 

Do you wanna have dinner? Or do you rather take a bath? Or maybe... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!
(gohan ni suru? ofuro ni suru? so-re-to-mo... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!)

 

Konbanwa! Arashi no Aiba Masaki de~su!
We're already in May... And the Golden Week is coming ne. Let me see if I had some memories of Golden Week... Till now we have never done concerts during this period, but also we don't have holiday. During our Golden Week in May.
And even when I was little, I don't have any recollections of going for a travel during Golden Week of May. Because my home...
staff: You're usually working.
Yes, because my home is a Chinese restaurant. So this is the prosperous period to earn. During the Golden Week. That's why we didn't travel anywhere, and I used to stay at home playing games or playing of base/headquarters, when I was a child.
staff: Some people have 11 consecutive days of holiday.
11 consecutive days of holiday? That's surprising! Eh? Is it for businessman and such?
staff: Yes, the company gives those holidays.
Haaa... I wonder what I would do if I had 11 days of holiday... I think it would be possible to do some long recording on location. If we had 11 days.
staff: On work?
We would be able to! Certainly! In somewhere overseas.
Haaa... Alright... This week I'm also going in high tension!
So firstly, I would like to start introducing a mail! Eee... This is from District of Katsushika, and I received this from radio name Nao-san! Arigatou gozaimasu!

Eee... Aibachan, konAibaaado!? Hum? KonAibaaado! Is this an association of "konAiba" and "bird"?

staff: I suppose so...

I think so! I think this expression may be useful!

Eee... I bought the new album! It was really nice! And its release date was the same day of my daughter's birthday, so we commemorated both together. Eee... I'm sending a photo. It was kinda embarrassing to order this cake. At first, the word "嵐" became too small, so I ordered them to re-write it! "Bigger, please!"
I'm also looking forward to the concert. We're all imagining what will be the opening song!

Hum! Sugoi! There's a picture here! At one side of the cake, I suppose it's the name of her daughter with the writings "Happy Birthday", and... "Congratulations! 嵐 New Album". There are two plates side by side!

staff: It looks like a cookie or something.

I suppose it's certainly a cookie. It makes me really happy! But I think it might be embarrassing to order such thing.
And she's saying that they're all imagining what will be the first song! Isn't nice? Looking forward to what will come!

staff: Is it already decided?

Yes, it's already decided!! But I can't tell it ne! Perhaps... It's possible that the first song is going to be a V6 song! We never know! So please, look forward to it ne!

So let's start this week's Arashi! Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!

 

Again... Konbanwa! It's Aiba Masaki from Arashi! This program is broadcasted to the national network, having Tokyo Hamamatsu's Bunka Housou as the key station.
Quickly, I would like to play tonight's first song. Eee... This is from Arashi's new album! I want you to listen "Do my best" by Arashi!

 

.....Do my best.....

 

Anata no mimi ni checkmate!! Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!
(checkmate to your ear!)

 

(Omoide Shredder) Memory Shredder

It's been a while! The Omoide Shredder!
Omoide Shredder has the purpose of taking your shameful/embarrassing memories or past memories that you want to forget, and having them shredded by me, Aiba Masaki, using a shredder.
We have an amount of backlog proportinally to the time that we have left this corner aside! I would like to take your memories to the shredder.

So firstly, this is from Chiba-ken, Yachio City, radio name Semisari-san!? I received this from Semisari?... san!

Eee... Maa-kun-san, konAiba! KonAiba-ba!
This is something that happened when I went to the live of Arashi some time ago. Me and the two people by my both side, the three of us started to talk excitedly, and then we asked each other where each one of us was from. One was from Yokohama, the other one was from Tokyo City, and then I told them excitedly that I was from a place called Yachio in Chiba-ken. Then one of them told me that "Eh!? So it's the place where the shooting of PIKANCHI was done!". At that time I haven't watched PIKANCHI yet, even so I answered with all my confidence "Yes, it is!!". And even after going back from the live, I boasted about it, telling my parents, siblings and friends that "Yachio is the place where the shooting of PIKANCHI was done!". BUT, when I watched PIKANCHI later, I realized that it wasn't Yachio, but Yashio! I think it was my fault for not saying the name properly. I was so ashamed that if I find a hole I wish to bury myself in it! Aibachan, please, not only take such memory to the shredder, but also burn it, please!

Hahaha!! This is indeed embarrassing! Although Yachio and Yashio are very similar! But it seems that the two of them, the two among the three who were there together, they both understood wrongly, when she said Yachio in Chiba-ken.

staff: Maybe they were sort of distracted...

Yes, distracted... BUT, although the shooting of PIKANCHI wasn't done in Yachio, it was along the railway line 14 in Chiba-ken. So actually we did the shooting near there, on the way going towards Yachio.

staff: Line 14 close to Yachio... So was it near Funabashi and such?

No, I think it's not! It must be close to Inage. On the way towards there, the set was build up, at a vacant lot. And I remember that it was very near my house!

staff: Then Chiba can somehow be considered a place for location.

Yes, somehow Chiba is a place that can be used on location. Even so, this is still a misunderstanding, so we'll burn it later! After putting this into the shredder.

Let me continue.

Eee... Aibachan konAiba!

Eee... This is from radio name Metaly-san! Where this person lives is not writen here... but this is from Metaly-san!

Eee... Aibachan, please listen. I live on the 5th floor of the condominium. On this day, I took the elevator, as always, and pushed the button to the 5th floor. Since there was only me in the elevator, I dropped off when the door opened, and I went straight to in front of my apartment. Then I tried to open the door. But it doesn't open! I thought "Eh? Did I forget to close?"
But no, it was locked and didn't open. I was in panic, thinking "Eh? An incident? What should I do now?" and walking the corridor at a loss. Then I realized! That it was the 3rd floor... Yes, I was insistently trying to open the apartment of someone. I was almost to cause an incident... Like I was running away from there, I called the elevator again and went up to the 5th floor, thinking "Why did the elevator open at the 3rd floor!?"
I entered my apartment and of course the door opened very easily. Aaah... What a fright! Please, take this memory to the shredder!
This is kinda off-topic, but there is a sumo wrestler's house at the 3rd floor.

I wonder if it was that house that she tried to open. The sumo wrestler's... I wonder...
Well, I think it must be something that happens very often, if you live in a condominium. Since the aspect of the 3rd or the 5th floor might be very similar. So, to make things easier, maybe you should leave something in front of your house to identify. Like your favorite umbrella, for example. Or maybe an unicycle. Such houses are quite common. In front of my friend's house there are many kinds of things, like an unicycle and such. So it would be nice to do it. Please try it!

Hai! Let me continue! Continuing... Eee... This is from Saitama-ken, radio name Sono-chan!

KonAiba! I enjoy listening the program every week, and I always involve my mother into it. My past that I want it to be shredded is something that happened when I was at the 4th year of elementary school. Eee... At the school where I graduated, once a year there is a class of Traffic Safety Program, and some people from the local police come to give instructions. At that time they did a quiz, and since I was the type that liked to appear in public, when I saw that no-one rose their hands, I thought "Yosh! This is my chance!" and rose my hand in excitement! And luckly I was pointed to answer the question, so I went in front of everyone, told the answer and returned to my seat. Then my friend patted my shoulder and whispered "Sono! Your zipper is completely open yo!" I thought "I can't believe!" and when I checked below, yes, it was completly open... While I was shocked and in blank face, the boy who I liked at that time, laughed at me, telling me that "Your zipper is completely open!" I seriously thought that if there was a hole, I wanted to bury myself in it... Please, take this shameful past to the shredder. Please.

It happens very often ne. It happens very often! Me... I think it was in the first concert of Arashi... Think I went up in a crane... And while I was waving like "Doumo arigatou!!", the zipper was completely open... And the worst, it was shown in some wide show.

staff: Was it possible to see? To verify it?

Well, I was able to check it, but I didn't tell about it to anyone!! Perhaps if you don't tell, no-one will find out.

Huuum... If there is someone who have this video... Delete it immediately! Please!
I'm always wearing a black "spats" under the concert outfit. (I don't know how is it called, the "spats" that Aibachan mentioned is a kind of shorts, which is very tight and short... I suppose you guys already saw it when Nino pulled Aibachan's pants down during Time Con... ^^;;)
So even if it can be seen, I think it's not possible to notice because it's black. Because the dark place is black.

staff: What about white underpants?

If I wear white "spats", then it'll appear because it'll be a white thing in a dark place. I think it wasn't so viewable since it was something black in a dark place.

Eee... Let's continue! Continuing... This is from District of Edogawa... Eee... Ah! Pen name "I'm going to the concert even if I happen to suffer a fracture" san! This is "I'm going!" san!

KonAiba! Please, listen my shameful memory. It's something that happened when I was deciding with my friend, on what day we should go watch Aibachan's stage play "Wasurerarenai Hito". I said "Of course, it'll be better to choose the [chiakigaku] (final day), right?" and then when I looked at my friend's face, she was clearly making a face of interrogation. Then she replied "Do you mean [senshuuraku]?" while she was trying to hold her laugh. Yes... I was reading [chiakigaku] instead of [senshuuraku]. After that, my friend kept teasing me because of it.
(Senshuuraku is written 千秋楽 and it means the final day of presentations of a stage play, exhibitions, etc. AND it's possible to read this kanji, wrongly, as "chiakigaku")

To read wrongly is something that happens very often!! "chiakigaku"... Well, let me read one more of those "reading mistake" series!

staff: Hahaha!!

Eee... This one is also about mistakes in reading. This is from Kochi-ken. Eee... Radio name Song-chan!

Aibachan konAiba! Eee... I was talking with my friend about the time when I was at junior high, and then I said "This is the period of [shoshinki] (she meant "puberty"), isn't it?" without even realizing my mistake. Then my friend replied...

Shushinki!? Shushin... EH!? Shushu... EH?

staff: Shishunki.

Shishun!? I also don't know how to read this!! Aaah... damn! I'm sorry, Song-chan!! I also couldn't read it!
Shushi... Eh? What? Shishunki!

My friend replied "Do you mean [shishunki]??" and burst out laughing, telling me "Let's study some grammar now?"

Think I'm going to study too.
"shishunki", right?

staff: It must go to the shredder too.

Yes, let's shred them, together with my stumbling over... Because to read wrongly may happen very often! Can't help it! Because we're all human beings! Saying in Aida Mitsuo way...

staff: We're human!

We're human! What can I do! Let's go ahead!
Well, I'm going to shred all those memories!

(wiiiiinn...)

Goodbye, shameful past!! That was the Memory Shredder!

 

When the children fall asleep... In secret... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!

 

(Oshiete, Aibachan!) Tell us, Aibachan!!

I'll answer to the questions I received from the listeners by e-mails and letters! This week many letters had arrived as always! Let's start!

Eee... This is from Shizuoka City, radio name White Momongaaa-san!

Suzuki-san! KonAiba!

Suzuki-san!?

I watched "Gakkou e Ikou MAX". Although they're boys, they're really beautiful ne... I wanna be like them too. Since my surname is Ikeno, somehow I feel a kind of familiarity with Ikeno-kun who was wearing Kimono. By the way, only Aibachan and Sho-kun were at the same dressing room. You guys seemed to have fun together, but why you two were at the same dressing room?

Alright! AH! Haaa... Now I remember that I was called "Suzuki-san" by mistake, during the prank. Aaah... That's true...

We don't have nothing defined regarding our dressing room. Like whom is going to be with whom... But that day it was like this by coincidence.

staff: Both of you shared the same room.

Yes, it was the same room for we two.

staff: Not 1 room for each one.

No, it wasn't. It was like "2 in 1".

staff: 2 in 1...

Hum. That's it. But it doesn't mean that we share the same dressing room always.

staff: It's just that sometimes it happens to be "2 in 1".

Yes, sometimes it may be "2 in 1". And it also can be "5 in 1"!

staff: "5 in 1" too?

Yes, yes. And sometimes there is also one room which is divided in many parts. So I think it depends on the situation and on the moment.
And of course, if there are many other artists present at the TV station, it may not have so many dressing rooms available, right?
So it's not something that is always fixed.

Let's continue! Continuing, this is from Hokkaido! Oh! From Chitose City. We received this from radio name Yuutan!

Aibachan konAiba! I read 1 book per day, to my 8 years old and 5 years old daughters, before they fall asleep. Meanwhile, I caress their ear and face with a cotton swab, then my children calm down and fall asleep easily. What about Aibachan, was there a kind of ritual that your mama used to do to you before you fall asleep? Please tell me.

When I was a child... I don't know... I lived at my grandparents' house when I was little, so until I grow and begin to attend kindergarden and elemetary school, I didn't stay much time with my parents. So there wasn't any kind of routine that could be called a ritual.

staff: You didn't ask your mom to go sleep with her?

To sleep with my mom... I guess they must have been busy at work. Working hard together! That's why I think I don't have such memory. But when they were working at Tokyo, and my grandma's house is in Chiba, they used to come back home very late, sometimes they used to return only in the earliest hours of the next day. At those days, when they come back, I used to wake up at 5 or 4 o'clock in the morning, to stay awake, waiting for them. I still remember about that.
And there was a kind of live-action, a superhero TV series, airing on TV, around 4 o'clock in the morning. I already forgot what program was that, but I have an impression that I was watching it a lot. Isn't it kinda strange that it was airing at that time?

staff: Is it a program for kids?

Yes, and I was watching it, waiting for my parents to come back. And then when they come back, I'll sleep again together with them. That was what I used to wait eagerly for. Though it wasn't a kind of ritual.

Continuing... The last one. I received this from Wakayama-ken, radio name Akka-chan!

Eee... I'm going straight to my question. If you're going to meet someone at the meeting place, Aiba-kun is the type that arrive before the appointed time, or the type that come late? By the way, I'm the type that arrive at the meeting place 10 minutes earlier and wait for my friends.

She's correct ne. I wish I was like her too. And I also wish that my friends were like this too.

staff: Are you the type that wait for?

I... I think I usually await. And my friends... I usually hang out with my friends of always. For example, those that came to this radio, Takuma-kun, or Abe Yuuya... Hum... Those people, I know that when they give me a phone call telling me that they'll arrive in 30 minutes, it means that they'll take more 1 hour till they arrive. I already have this calculation in my mind. That's why I'll arrive at the meeting place only after 1 hour.

staff: It means that when they call you saying that they're going to arrive in 30 minutes, they're already late.

Yes, yes. Since they call me when it's already the appointed time. But I also didn't leave home yet, because I already know that they'll arrive late. Then I'll ask "More how long?"... "30 minutes? OK." and I'll arrive after 1 hour. That's my previous calculation that I have in my mind. I know that they'll take more 1 hour to arrive at the meeting place. How can I say... It's like a sequence of facts.

staff: Hahaha!!

I can't help it.

staff: It may happen because your relationship with them is like this.

I think so. As a final effect... To the worse and worse side... So even if we plan to meet at 8 o'clock to eat dinner and such, we'll start only at about 9:30.

staff: You're already forecasting that it'll be like this.

Yes, I'm forecasting.

staff: The loss time...

Yes, yes... But, for me, it changes depending on the person who I'm going to meet.

staff: Of course...

Yes, of course! When I'm going to meet someone from the staff, or someone who I can't make him/her awaiting, I'll certainly arrive before the appointed time. Because my blood type is AB. That's why my friends always say that I have double personality. And I'll always reply that "No, I'm not!"

staff: You're just putting the things apart, right?

Hahaha! We have to be clever.

So we're waiting for your unique questions! Mail address is arashi@joqr.net or mail box 〒１０５－８００２　文化放送「嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス」!!

The ending time is nearing... As an announcement from Arashi, we have the 5 Dome Tour. That's right ne. ARASHI Marks 2008 Dream"A"live. We're in the middle of our rehearsals now!
staff: The first song is already defined.
Yes, we have already decided the first song! But, I can't tell you! I wanna tell! Actually I would like to tell!
staff: (.....)
No, no!! If I say it here, everybody will know, won't they? So I can't tell!
staff: So does it mean that people from Osaka should not tell to people from other regions too?
Haha! I want them to keep it in secret!
Because when we go to the concert, one of the things that we look forward to, is to know what will be the next song. Isn't it?
So after the concerts in Osaka had started, stop viewing the net!
staff: Like "Since I'm going to attend the concert in Tokyo, I'll stay away from the internet..."
Yes, the net is prohibited! Because if you see the net, you'll find out everything...
staff: Maybe if you're distracted, you'll end up reading at somewhere, what is the first song.
Although I don't think people will write about such thing! (Aibachan... you don't know how many people report about Arashi's concert in their blogs! XD)
staff: And what about the reports of those TV shows like Tokudane and Mezamashi?
Aaaaah!! Those wide shows?
But I think the wide shows don't report so many details, like song list of the performances!

Hum! The other day we went to eat dinner ne, with all the staff here. Let's unify our efforts for the concert! Ne?
Arashi Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!
Your partner was Aiba Masaki! Please continue listening next week ne!! Bye bye!!

嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス 2008.04.25

 

MMC News
It was really sad to listen Aibachan reading all the MMC news alone, without Otsuka-kun by his side to read together, comment and laugh together.

Oshiete Aibachan!
- Aibachan was asked if he joined any club activity (or extracurricular activity) when he was at junior high or high school. He was in the basketball club.
- A listener who wants to give a present for her parents with her first salary, asked Aibachan for some advices of what to give.
- Some time ago Otsuka-kun read an e-mail sent by a girl from Tochigi-ken, and Aibachan asked where is Tochigi. So a listener from Tochigi-ken sent an e-mail complaining if Aibachan was asking it seriously or if he was joking.

Songs played during this program:
- Hello Goodbye
- Kimi no tame ni boku ga iru
- WISH
- My Answer
More songs than usual ne... Aibachan usually plays only 2 songs during the program, but this time...

 

 

Words in blue are my observations.
As always, many many thanks to aibaland for the audio file.

 

 

A: Yabai! Me ga juuketsu shiteru!
(Oh no! My eyes are red!)
O: Radio desu.
(Don't forget that this is a radio.)
A: Ah, that's true... Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!

 

Konbanwa! Arashi no Aiba Masaki desu. Eee... I have an... announcement for everyone. Eee... It's about Otsuka-kun who was always with me in this radio... The writer and editor Otsuka Toshiki-kun passed on yesterday.
When I received this news... I was really shocked...

He didn't suffer from any chronic disease. And I was told that it was a sudden cardiac disease.
I also went for the visitation.

And it's still tough for me to take the reality...
We also thought a lot about whether to tell everyone about this or not. As a result of what we staff decided together, we thought that we should tell, since this program goes on.

I would like to try to renew my feelings, to be able to continue.
Today I'll up my tension for me and for Otsuka-kun!
Let's go!
So firstly, I'll start playing the first song. Eee... So please listen, Hello Goodbye by Aiba Masaki.

 

.....Hello Goodbye.....

 

O: The radio has already started, so now what are you waiting for?
A: Eh? Spring!
A: Arashi! Aiba Masaki no Rekomen Arashi Remix!

 

It's Aiba Masaki.
The very very small news. I'll transmit the MMC News.

An incident happened in Souka City of Saitama-ken, when a junior high student girl who was skipping rope during Physical Education class, stumbled over the rope when she performed a double under, and had a swelling on her leg. And that swelling had the shape of the letter "A" of the alphabet. The junior high student girl told that she's feeling a bit sad, a bit happy, thinking that it must be an A of Dream"A"live, A of Arashi, and A of Aiba Masaki.

I see... Let me continue!

There was a happening in the afternoon of April 19th, when Ayako-san of Fukuoka-ken was going back home after having lunch. There was a frog sitting on the windshield of the car. The frog kept sitting on, even after the car had started to move. But it disappeared when Ayako-san arrived home. Although Ayako-san is saying that the frog hitched a ride at her car and ran away without paying, there is the possibility that the frog suffered an accident on the way, so the investigations will be proceeded in both, incident and accident, conditions.

WHY!?

Continuing.

According to the informations coming from the reporter in Itagashi City, on the day 16th, before 9 o'clock in the morning, a cell phone drowned in the toilet of the school located in the town. The drowned cell phone was purchased only 2 weeks ago, and it was in conditions of not having any scratch. Immediately after the classes had finished, the user of the cell took it to the cell phone shop, but the cell phone was already flooded and it was given a diagnosis that it'll need a surgery of emergency. 10 days for the fully recover and there is also the risk for the memory to suffer from the sequel of the injuries. The owner of the cell is currently using a substitute borrowed from the store. This user was in a hurry because the class was going to start, and the only salvation was that the user dropped it after flushing the toilet. That's what was reported.

Well, well, I agree with that.

Aiba Masako-san from Niigata-ken was washing her face with soap at the bathroom, holding her breath, but she felt out of breath and breathed through nose. The soap came into her nose and she suffered from a great pain. Masako-san warned to take care with soup.

This may happen, sometimes.

Chirori-san from Aichi-ken, on her 18 years old birthday on April 20th, received many presents, like a drumstick, T back, among others. But some unidentified person sent a package written "Finally a mummy of tsuchinoko was found out!" What was inside the package isn't possible to know through Chirori-san's e-mail, but when Chirori-san opened the package, she was so surprised and her eyes were tearing.

Tsuchinoko?? Doesn't it sound sort of perverted? That package?

Let me continue. Continuing...

A 22 years old teacher whose name is Sakurai Sho was admitted at a school located in Inage of Chiba City. This was revealed by an e-mail from Kyochi-san, a student who is frequenting that junior high school. It's also said that there is a person called Kojima Yoshio in the junior high OB. Teacher Sakurai Sho teaches Social Studies, he's responsible for the soccer club of the school, and he's from Hanamigawa. But he doesn't look like Sakurai Sho-kun of Arashi, in any way.

Sugoi! The kanji are the same too! 22 years old. So there are people with the same sex and same name. Heee... And he teaches Social Studies. I wonder if some Aiba Masaki won't pop up, having the same sex and the same name.
Well, today there were only very tiny news again. I... How can I say... I really don't know how to read them in a news-like way. In any way! This is really difficult... That's why Ogura-san, for example, is impressive... But maybe Ogura-san also doesn't make in a news-like way... I think he doesn't do, does he?

staff: Tomoaki-san?

Yes, Tomoaki-san...

(Ogura Tomoaki-san, our beloved Ogu-san in Shukudaikun ^^, is the caster in a TV program called Tokudane broadcasted by Fuji TV, but this is not exactly a news program, it's more like a wide show, bringing informations about famous people, events and happenings.)

staff: (.....)

Yes, since he doesn't read news so often...
Well, this is surprising. It's difficult.
They're so small happenings, that it irritates me while reading. When I can't read. Shit. I'll do my best to don't be defeated by this corner! So everybody, if you have a news that caught your attention, or a news that surprised you, please send them to this corner, to the MMC News.
Mail address is arashi@joqr.net or mail box 〒１０５－８００２　文化放送「嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス」!

 

So here I would like you to listen to a song by Arashi. "Kimi no tame ni boku ga iru" by Arashi.

 

.....Kimi no tame ni boku ga iru.....

 

It was "Kimi no tame ni boku ga iru" from Arashi!
Now WISH by Arashi.

 

.....WISH.....

 

O: paio-tsu kaide na, derumo no chan-nee mo kiiteru!
(What a big breast, model gals are also listening it!)
A: REALLY?? (maji de??)
A/O: Arashi・Aiba Masaki no Rekomen! Arashi Remix!

 

(Oshiete, Aibachan!) Tell us, Aibachan!!

I'll answer to the questions I received from the listeners by e-mails and letters! Here we go. Today we received a lot, as always. So, really thank you very much!
Firstly... I'll start from this one.

Eee... I received this from Saitama-ken, pen name Pink-chan! Arigatou gozaimasu!

 

Eee... I'm sending you an e-mail for the first time. I became a high school student from this Spring, and I joined the dance club of the school. But since I'm still at the 1st year, I have to run 5km everyday and after that, do the strength training. Only at the last few hours, my senpai teaches some steps of dance. Honestly, I want to be able to dance well soon. Aibachan, did you join a club activity when you were at junior high or at high school? And if you actually joined one, how did you manage to overcome the sad and tough moments? Please tell me.

 

Alright. Heee... How surprising! The dance club is practically strength training?
So there is a dance club. At my age, there wasn't. Dance club at high school? It looks like a circle.

staff: I suppose it's not a ballroom dance, right?

Yes, I suppose it's not a ballroom dance... Since she's saying "kakkoii"... But well... Ballroom dance may also be kakkoii... I suppose there are various genres in that dance club.

staff: (I can't listen what he said...)

Yes, yes, yes, doing such thing... Eeeh... This is amazing. And she told that they run 5km everyday.
Well, I was in the basketball club. And I was obliged to run everyday too.
If you arrive late for the training early in the morning, then during the training after classes, you are told to make 5 rounds around the school outside, and join the training only after doing that. But since they don't check if we ran or not, there were always many people who swindled. Huum. There was a shortcut if you pass through inside the school, so there were people who did it too.

But the main point is that those activities like running and strength training, they're all a battle with yourself. So if now you have to run 5km everyday, I think it'll certainly bring strength for you. So Pink-chan, ganbatte kudasai. (Please do your best.)

How did you manage to overcome tough or sad moments?
It's the willpower! If you stay thinking negatively, it won't work. So let's go ahead, always forward! Ne, Pink-chan? Ne?

 

Hai! So I would like to go to the next question.

Eee... This is from Kanagawa-ken, Hiromi-chan. Pen name... radio name Hiromi-chan... No, it's Romi-chan! I received this from Romi-chan. Arigatou gozaimasu!

 

Eee... In this Spring, I became a worker. With my first salary which I'm going to receive in May, I want to gift something to my parents, but I can't think of anything. If it was Aibachan, what you would gift? And have you ever gave?

 

Aaah... First salary ne... It's quite memorable. The first salary. I still remember about mine. Of one summer.

staff: Was it the first salary of when you were at Johnny's Junior?

Yes, yes, because besides Johnny's I've never worked in other places, like a part-time job and such. I still remember about it, but I think I didn't buy anything... I have an impression that I just saved it in the way it was. And I created a bank account at that time.
I wonder what could it be. I wonder what would be good to give.
What would be good?

staff: Have you ever gave a present to your parents?

I already gave presents to my parents many times. When I go overseas on location, for example, I usually buy a souvenir which is sold only at overseas, and it includes some expensive stuff and cheap things as well. I usually buy such things there.
But I think that... How can I say... I think what's better is... Those things that you can have and keep with you forever.

staff: As a present that my son/daughter bought for me with his/her first salary.

Huum... Then it'll be more easy for the mother to say...

staff: Or something that doesn't break.

Things that don't break ne.

staff: (.....)

I think so. Then maybe we should choose a hat?

staff: (Again, I can't listen what he said... Where is Otsuka-kun to talk to Aibachan and answer his questions... T___T damn...)

It doesn't break, so we should choose a hat. A hat is nice. Or maybe her mother doesn't wear hats? If she doesn't wear hats, then choose an accessory. So she can have it with her forever. So please do it ne, Romi-chan.

 

Let me continue. The next is from... Eee... This is from Tochigi-ken, pen name Rumi-chan.

 

KonAiba!

KonAiba!

 

On to the main topic, during the previous episode of this corner, Aibachan was asking "Where is Tochigi??", but was it serious or just a joke? It made me really sad.

 

I guess she must be angry ne... I'm sorry, Rumi-chan. When I asked where is Tochigi... Well, if I say that it was a joke, it was a joke... But if I call it a fiction, then it may be a fiction...
But I know quite a lot of things about Tochigi yo! I know that there is the Nikko, and I also went there. To Nikko. And also the Nasu Kougen, I used to go there every year when I was a child. As a family trip. Nasu Kougen, right? What else? The gyoza of Utsunomiya! It's very good ne. I know many things, so don't be so angry and please continue supporting this Aiba Masaki ne.

 

So we're waiting for your odd questions! Mail address is arashi@joqr.net or mail box 〒１０５－８００２　文化放送「嵐・相葉雅紀のレコメン！アラシリミックス」!!

 

So now I would like you to listen to a song! My Answer by Arashi.

-END-

 

 

I was really in doubt whether to translate this week's Rekomen or not. I almost gave up in the middle many times. It's so hard to believe that we won't hear Otsuka-san's voice during Rekomen anymore. Some people may think that I sound exaggerated, but this news was really shocking for me. I was looking through some Japanese blogs, and reading so many entries and comments about Otsuka-san, really made me cry. Otsuka-san was such an adorable person. I start to cry whenever I remember about the funny talks between Otsuka-kun and Aibachan, Aibachan teasing him, Otsuka-kun laughing, and how Otsuka-kun and Aibachan did get along very well. All those jingles played during the program were the jingles that Aibachan and Otsuka-kun recorded together. To hear Otsuka-san's voice in those jingles really broke me down. If this news was so sad for us, fans, who knew Otsuka-kun only by listening to him in the radio, for Aibachan who was in touch with him so often, it must be a lot more tough. Although Aibachan was trying his best to hide his sadness and keep the program going on in high tension, I can view him trying to hold his tears. For each thing that Aibachan reads, I couldn't stop thinking about what Otsuka-kun would say or how he would react.
Otsuka-san... Thank you so much for everything that you did, for making Rekomen so funny and cheerful, for helping and taking care of Aibachan.

私は大塚さんの事が本当に大好きでした。今まで本当にありがとう。心から感謝しております。そして、ご冥福を心からお祈りいたします。

 

ショックで、なんて言っていいのかわからない・・・頭の中が真っ白・・・信じられないよ、こんなこと。今週のレコメンは相葉ちゃん一人。大塚さんはもういないんだ。いつも明るく楽しそうに相葉ちゃんと笑ってたのに。なんで・・・急に心臓発作だなんて・・・本当に信じられないよ。まだラジオ聞いてないから、詳しい事はわからないけど、今週のレコメン聞くのはちょっと怖い。相葉ちゃんの辛そうな声聞きたくないよ。大塚君と相葉ちゃんが楽しそうに話してるのを聞くの大好きだったのに・・・

大塚さん、いつも番組を盛り上げてくれて本当にありがとう。ご冥福をお祈りいたします。

I was reading some Japanese fans' blogs, and some of them reported about this night's Rekomen... I'm still so shocked and I don't know what to say... I didn't listen to Rekomen yet, so I don't know any details, but there was a sad announcement tonight. Otsuka-san passed on yesterday. It was so sudden. I can't believe, he was so young, always laughing with Aibachan. I'm afraid of listening to this week's Rekomen, I'm afraid of hearing Aibachan's sad voice. I'll miss Otsuka-san...

Can't wait to watch it!!! This week's Gakkou e Ikou MAX was super funny and I couldn't stop laughing the whole time when I was watching it, but next week's seems to be even more interesting! XD
I can't believe that "girl" is actually a boy! These boys are much more beautiful and cute than many girls!!

 

 

Jumping to a completely different subject... ^^;; I've been listening non-stop to "Take me faraway" and "Hello Goodbye" alternately, in repeat mode!! I looove them!! I think they're my favourite songs in the new album! "Take me faraway" is so beautiful and Ohchan's voice is so so so beautiful too!! Really love this song since the first time I listened to it! And "Hello Goodbye" is so cute and so Aibachan style! Can't choose which one I like more! ^^
