Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi.
[BGM ‘Happiness’]
This week, we’re changing the contents a little from the usual. Along with all the mail received from all the listeners, we’ll be recapping over the concerts that took place last month, ARASHI BLAST in Miyagi, for the whole week.
So on that note, without any delay, I’ll read the mail.
First up is one from Mimu-san.
“Satoshi-kun, good morning. I attended the Miyagi concert on the 20th. It was my birthday on that day, so it was an especially moving live for me.”
(Ah. Happy birthday!)
“Right, so when I checked my smartphone, one of the messages I received was from my house-sitting husband who wrote, 'Happy birthday. Please take care on your way home’. The message was received at the time of my birth, 19:33. That was when the concert had just ended. I’d thought that he’d definitely have forgotten my birthday. Not only that, his wife had gone all the way to Miyagi to go and see other men, yet he still sent mail to her. I was so happy that I cried. Thanks to that, that was an even happier than usual birthday.”
Ahh. That’s a great story. He was properly thinking of you. That sort of thing is definitely not something you’d ever forget. Naturally.
'To go and see other men’ (laughs) This bit is funny! (laughs) 'His wife had gone all the way to Miyagi’. Does 'other men’ mean us? That’s a funny way of saying it, that is.
Man, that’s a great story. Thank you very much.
Right, next. From Sayuri-san.
“Satoshi-kun, good morning. The ARASHI BLAST in Miyagi is over. When I saw news about the concerts in Miyagi, I saw that you’d be doing 3D flying. It looked really scary, I thought. Was Satoshi-kun scared?”
Now that… Was I scared? Was it scary, now…
You know… normally, with flying, it’s with… one line? One or two of them. So with a 5-point line, that’s flying with 5 wires. You go in all directions. With that, you can just freely stand. Vertically, horizontally, diagonally and so on. You can’t rotate, but the 5 of us were on it.
So that was, well, we could just freely go around. We could go around making circles. We could go freely above the audience. Of course, there was a pre-determined range, but around the arena, you could go all around it.
So that was… I thought that was great. Um, with normal 2-point line flying, you can only go side-to-side. You rarely have the ability to go freely over the audience. It was kinda scary during the rehearsals. The brightness and, naturally, the nervousness and the adrenaline and the fear sort of numbed me. Mm. So for the rehearsals, we didn’t have any of that. So it was scary.
So well, at the scene, one of the members was scared. He’s no good with heights. Man, he was all right. He’s called Sakurai Sho, incidentally. (laughs)
You know, during the meeting, he was the most scared. When we were doing the flying, when I looked over at the other 4 members and saw Sho-kun’s face… Sho-kun’s hands were open and he was like, “Look at this sweat!”
So like, it wasn’t really like he was incredibly terrified. In the actual performance, MatsuJun was rocking the wires in the middle of Sho-kun’s rap. He was like, “THAT’S DANGEROUS!” (laughs)
It’d be great if we could do it again sometime.
[BGM 'Monster’]
Right, next. From Pi-mama-san.
“Ohno-san, good morning. I attended the concert on the 20th together with my 3rd grade son. My son’s been your fan ever since Kaibutsu-kun and it was his first concert, so he was really excited. We were on the stands, so it was a little difficult for my 128cm tall son to see. He was peering through the gaps when a lady in the front seat was like, "Can you see?” and removed her thick-soled shoes. I was deeply touched by her kindness.“
(That’s incredible.)
"My son was also like, 'Ohno-kun’s waving at us!’ and a lot happened but it was an incredibly satisfying BLAST. Then, when the concert ending and I was immersed in the lingering memories of it, my son asked me, 'I wonder if Ohno-kun really likes curry?’ Why now?? Ohno-kun, please answer him!”
Certainly.
Man, that’s incredible. I’m glad. It makes me happy, too. To be like, “Can you see?” and take off her shoes. What a great story. People are really kind, aren’t they? Truly. Yeah. Well, so there are people like that out there.
I wonder why? What was he thinking? Probably because Kaibutsu-kun really loves to eat curry. Probably because he didn’t eat any curry during the concert. (laughs) Yeah.
So finally, I’ll say a few words. So we’re stopping here for today.
Right, today’s thought of the day, come on!
Ohno-kun really does like curry!
That’s all; this was Ohno Satoshi!
