2015.11.06 AD - Of chikuwa and coincidences.

[BGM V6’s ‘Beat your Heart’] Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi. Every Friday I respond to the messages received on this show. First up is one from Nagomi-san of Yokohama. “Ohno-kun, good day. The other day, Nino mentioned on his radio show that when you were young, if he wasn’t mistaken, you appeared in V6’s PVs. What songs did you appear in? Please tell us.” Ahh. I only appeared once. It was probably, um, the song called ‘Beat Your Heart’. I think Sho-kun might have been in it as well. But I don’t really have any memories of dancing in it. Like, um, we were blowing trumpets, roughly three of us. We were acting as a trumpet trio. Like there’s the trumpet sounds in the background, right? That was the three of us playing the trumpets while moving from left to right. If a single one of us made a mistake, it’d clash like anything. If just a single person made a mistake. So I still have memories of whenever anyone made a mistake. (laughs) But they probably know. The people who know would know, I think. So yeah, we did appear. Only for a moment, though, really. Yeah. That’s probably what they said. [BGM ‘Akatsuki’] Next, from Sayuri-san of Chiba. “Satoshi-kun, good morning. This time, along with our company-wide changes, my manager is, unbelievably, going to be a a foreigner. Which means I’ll have to use English for communication. I’ve never had any experience using English at work before so I’ve resolved to start taking English conversation classes. With sweaty armpits, sweaty hands and a cold sweat, I’m focusing hard on it. Please give me a word of encouragement.” Fight! (laughs) Like you’re boxing or something. Well, if it really works, that’s great, isn’t it? It’d be like you’ve turned into a foreigner. Doing it would be more enjoyable than not. It’d be kinda like you’re doing impressions of people. Well, it might be kinda embarrassing, but at least that way you’d be able to communicate, right? So on that note… Fight! Next, from Awawa-san. “Ohno-kun, good morning. I always enjoy listening to your radio show. The other day, when I heard you mention how someone had dropped a chikuwa and handed it to the reception at the city hall, I was really deeply moved.” (laughs) “It was because previously, when I was working at a bank, someone had dropped a chikuwa at an ATM.” (Seriously??) “It was probably when they were operating the screen at the ATM, they put it down on the ATM and just forgot about it. I wonder if chikuwa are just easy to leave behind? It was a single tube sealed in a pack; it was a splendid chikuwa specimen. It was still before the best-before date, but on that day itself nobody took it. Whether someone ended up eating it or throwing it away is still disputed.” Heh, that’s kinda… It’s like a chikuwa legend, huh? (laughs) Do people really lose their chikuwa that often? I kinda want that to become like an urban legend. (laughs) Well, that’s right… Chikuwa are surprisingly that, right? They inhabit the sea. There are creatures that emit a great light, but we catch them and put them into a chikuwa. Like, Nino… Nino’s done that. (laughs)   Next, from Yuku-Yuku-san. “'Kokoro no Sora’ is really cool! Also, I just happened to notice but the 'Japonism’ spelling is comprised of 'AMNOS’ and 'I’ and 'JP’. In short, it’s that, right? The five of you in Arashi and me and Japan.” That’s the best thing ever, huh? This 'AMNOS’ is made from the initials of my name and the other Arashi members. I think that was just a coincidence. Mm. Man, certainly… So there’s something like that, huh? It wasn’t planned. Mm. That was just a coincidence. Man, if we said this at a concert, that’d probably liven things up. Like, “The five of us and you here in Japan!” Like that, right? That’s great! But I think I’d forget it immediately. (laughs) It’s just a coincidence. We’ll do our best at the concert! Next, from Hirono-san. “Oh-chan, good morning. The other day, while I was talking to my friend, they said, 'Ey ey Oh-chan!’ The sound was really cute and both my friend and I have gotten hooked on saying it. And then my friend was like, since it’s cute, we’d like Oh-chan to say it too. I can also imagine such a cute Oh-chan and I’d really like to hear it. So that all the people listening to the radio can do their all day best today, please say, 'Ey ey Oh-chan!’” Man… (laughs) I’ve already said it twice! Should I say it in a cute way? Right. Ey ey Oh-chan! A little cuter… Ey ey Oh-chan! …My manager’s laughing at me. (laughs) And so with that, the weekly Friday messages have been answered. I’ll be awaiting your mail. The address is [email protected]. I’ll be waiting for you to send me lots of messages. See you next week; this was Ohno Satoshi! —–

2015.11.02 AD - With sunshine in your heart.

Good morning. This is Arashi’s Ohno Satoshi. Here’s today’s thought of the day; come on! “With sunshine in your heart With a song on your lips”[1] [BGM ‘Akatsuki’] Ahh… That’s great. This is a quote by German poet Cäsar Flaischlen-san. This was sent in by listener Kao-san. The message reads: “Satoshi-kun, good morning. This quote was something that my homeroom teacher in 4th grade taught us when the teacher was leaving us. The teacher had this written on pieces of wood and gave it to every single one of us. I really love this quote. At times when there’s so much going on and I lose sight of what’s happening around me, I always remember this and suddenly burst into song. Stay calm! I’d tell myself. That said, it can be pretty tough and there are plenty of times where I couldn’t reflect on things. Satoshi-kun, have there been any words from your teachers or close friends that left an impression on you?” Ohh. There has been. When I was a 4th grader, I… (laughs) I could do addition and multiplication pretty instantly. It’s just that I couldn’t seem to do subtraction and division. I was just really bad at it no matter what I did. So right, when I was in 4th grade in elementary school, I couldn’t do division. So I had one-on-one classes after school with the teacher. Like the teacher would be passionately teaching me. And then finally I think I managed to solve one problem or something? No, it was before I solved it. And then I remember I started crying out loud because I couldn’t do it. And then… And then the teacher taught me how and then I could solve it. So then I remembered the teacher started crying, too. Well, I’d been really poor at it up until that moment. But after those after-school classes, I never forgot that. And then looking at my results, I went up by a grade. Mm. So like, folks, if you cry out loud, (laughs) your grades will go up. (laughs) …That’s not how it works! But I remember that. I wanted to remember it but it was also frustrating. Mm. Like I rarely get so frustrated that I end up in tears. Well, more like pretty much never, right? But well, that happened, way back in the past. Yeah. So I hate math, but there was a time I liked it. So like, I wanted to like math. Well, I’d avoided contact with it now, in various senses. Or rather, if it were something that could be taught, well, it couldn’t be taught. It’d be something we had to study together. But well, if you don’t do that sort of thing and you gradually stop using your brains, that’s no good. We never really faced that in the past either, right? That’s no good either. So without facing computers or word processing programs or anything… An abacus! (laughs) That’s completely different. (laughs) Abacuses! Like one yen, two yen… How does that go again? I’d probably be working it upside down. That’s the sort of person I am. Maybe I should try using an abacus again, after so long. Do they still sell them? Where do they sell them, I wonder? I think I’ll go and have a look. (laughs) That’s all; this was Ohno Satoshi! —– [1] Translation from the German here.

2015.10.14 AD - Of feels, fears and flying.

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! —–

A little bit of Ohmiya Sweet Story Ohno’s mom : “How was your work today?” Ohno : “I’m glad that Nino was there with me”

This story was told by Nino at Waku Waku Gakkou, and Riida was so embarrassed and say “did I really say that? I don’t remember”…

Aww… Ohmiya… You guys are so cute >.

#Big Sweater Little Nino.

this is like a children’s book that needs to be written.

[kosesmoses]

Once upon a time there was a little Nino who had a new red sweater.

He didn’t really like that it was so big he could comfortably sit with his knees folded cross legged under it, but it wasn’t all that bad for a sweater (and really, Nino had worn worse.)

Nino wore his new sweater everywhere. It was so big and warm; it was like his own personal shield against the outside world.  Because Nino was so small, and the sweater so large, Nino knew it made him look like a walking mushroom. But Nino was ok with this, because he’d always had an affinity for cute toadstools.

He wore it to bed too, as pajamas. It was so long that Nino didn’t have to wear pajama pants, but could comfortably just sleep in his sweater and underwear.

After so much wear, the new sweater needed to be laundered. The big red sweater took forever to dry, and in the meantime, Nino was stuck in his old massive blue sweater with the bear on the tummy. Finally the dryer beeped, and Nino gleefully opened the appliance door, retrieving his red sweater.

But the sweater had shrunk to the size of a mitten.

And little Nino was sad.

[whtlfrs-deactivated20140208]

# we have to find a way to give nino his red sweater back

if only little nino was even littler. or had some kind of  little kitten that could wear his sweater. maybe a puppy. possibly a hamster. a small little tiny animal of some kind. or even…….an ohno.

[kosesmoses]

Once upon the same time there was a little Ohno who had no sweaters.

His mother told them they were dangerous. Ohno thought this was kind of silly, because how could a sweater be any more dangerous than his toe socks? Ohno liked his toe socks because they made his toes feel funny, but was sort of offended when his mother tried to offer to buy him a new pair instead of a sweater.

Then, one day, Ohno happened to see a boy wearing a very large red sweater. So large it looked completely ridiculous, and completely adorable, and Ohno decided he wanted one instantly.

So Ohno, knowing full well that his mom also told him not to talk to strangers, approached this boy wearing the forbidden sweater, and asked where he had bought it.

The boy drowning in his sweater smiled, and said he couldn’t remember, but if Ohno wanted, the sweater was large enough to share.

Ohno liked this idea, but he wasn’t entirely sure how it would work. His mother and his sister shared clothes, but they lived at home together and simply raided each other’s closets. Ohno didn’t even know the sweater boy’s name, or where he lived.

But before Ohno could ask, he found himself suddenly very face to face with the boy, and, in fact, inside his big red sweater.

Ohno blushed a little, and the boy grinned a lot.

And Ohno learned why his mother told him sweaters were dangerous, but was glad he learned the lesson for himself.

[whtlfrs-deactivated20140208]

YOU ARE EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD AND TRUE IN THIS WORLD.

[ylunio]

^ THIS.

And everything above.. <3 <3 <3

[kosesmoses]

One day, not long after they first met, Ohno went to visit Nino. When Nino opened the door, Ohno knew something was wrong. Not only were Nino’s eyes sad and lifeless, but he was in his bear sweater.

Nino took Ohno’s hand and brought him inside, straight to the dryer, where on top of the unit, sat a stuffed Doraemon plush toy, wearing a very familiar sweater.

Ohno felt terrible for Nino.  He had known Nino liked the sweater a lot. He was so possessive of it, that Nino would never let Ohno actually borrow it, always insisting that they share it instead.

Ohno wished there was something he could do. But he couldn’t sew or knit or even buy Nino a new one. He could call his mom, but she probably wouldn’t be happy to hear about Ohno’s relationship with a sweater (but he was positive she would love Nino.) Even if he could replace it, Ohno knew that in Nino’s heart it wouldn’t be the same.

So Ohno did the only thing he could do; crawl into Nino’s bear sweater and give him a bear hug.

And  little Nino was just a little bit less sad.

[coolohoh]

And here’s my own version… with a happy Nino ending XD
