Monster Rock (February 17, 2015)
Host: What’s the name of the cat fromNatsume Souseki’s novel, “Wagahai wa Neko de Aru” (an old way of saying “I Have a Cat,” but the official translation of the novel is “I am a Cat)?
So, it’s actually “I am a Cat.” Not I have a cat. lol. Please take note of this slight change from here on. Thanks jibun-rock69 for the heads up! ^^
(The question is actually what’s the line after “Wagahai wa Neko de Aru, Namae wa _________” which means, I have a cat, and it’s name is ___________.)
Daisuke Han: Please write your answers on the flip board. Thinking time, start!
Taka: Somehow, the questions have become more difficult.
Nao: Perhaps, if we ask the public, about 85 percent will get the right answer.
DH: Look, the audience is getting turned off. They’re getting turned off. This is bad!
Voiceover: I’m sure everyone in front of their TVs already knows the answer. It’s “No-Name-Yet.” For this Common Knowledge question, here’s the answer from ONE OK ROCK members.
DH: Let’s start with Taka.
Taka’s Answer: “None.” (His answer is close.)
Nao: Somehow, the drawings look similar to the real thing.
DH: So, this is Souseki-san? (the author)
Taka: Yes. It’s Souseki-san and little kitty.
DH: The reactions from the audience look good.
Taka: I thought I’d attack with some images.
Toru: Mine somehow overlapped with his (Taka’s) answer. I have a cat, and it’s name is None-But-There-Is. (He tried to make it rhyme. “Wagahai wa Neko de Aru, Namae wa Nai no de Aru.”)
(Everyone seemed impressive with his answer, especially Taka. lol!)
Toru: I thought this would make their hearts jump.
Tomoya’s Answer: Tsutomu (It’s an ordinary name for a guy. That’s why they laughed. Lol!)
Toru: It’s like the name of one of those guys who did your tattoos.
DH: I see. For the last one, Ryota, please show us your answer.
Ryota: There’s a story behind my answer. When I saw the question, I thought, “There’s no other correct answer but this.” (tried to flip his board, but talked again) But then I thought…
Ryota: I have a cat, and it’s name is Betty. (Hahahaha!)
Nao: I see. Let’s hear his explanation. Let’s hear the story.
DH: Everyone was like, “Waaaah…”
Ryota: I’m not really sure, but when I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to have a dog.
DH: A dog, huh? (because the question is about a cat)
Nao: It’s okay. It’s okay.
Ryota: I wanted to have a dog, and two days ago, I actually bought one.
Taka: That’s right. He really bought a dog recently.
Ryota: Then I named it “Betty-chan.” So, when I heard that the question is about a name, I just immediately thought of the name Betty.
Taka: You just wanted to introduce your dog to everyone, right?
So, no one got the right answer. ^^
