Eito bun no ni
Janiben 20180620 part 1
For Subaru’s last Janiben location shoot, the staff decided to make it a nostalgic walking tour with (in Subaru’s own words) his closest friend among the members. Yoko. They went to all the old places where to used to go and work from their time as juniors to the early days of Kanjani8. This is the second episode of the segment which i felt was more sweet the the first one.
When they were walking to their former recording studio, they mentioned that the equipment broke down while Hina was recording his song. Subaru: That’s really true! Even in this digital age!
Yoko added the studio was free too. Subaru said they had to repeatedly apologize
Yoko is filled with excitement and nostalgia when they visited their old recording studio (he kept shouting “I remember!” and pointing at sofas & stuffs). In one room Subaru said the microphone used to stand where the piano is now. Yoko then said he remembered everything now and a lot of old Kanjani8 songs were composed & recorded here like Sukiyanen, Osaka. Subaru said this where SanKyōDai was formed. Also where they wrote some of their early skits like Osaka to Osaka.
Subaru: Ah that’s was fun
Yokoyama: Although we didn’t know if the audience found it interesting, we were very confident that this was very interesting and I remembered so much. Really recalled many things.
3rd clip
They met their former producer/sound engineer Ishiyama san.
Director: What was Yokoyama and Shibutani like at the time?
Ishiyama: (in terms appearance) not much has changed since that time. Before when Yoko went home, he often called and said “My wallet is missing.”
Subaru: This is still the same now (lol)
4th clip
They went to the roof. Subaru mentioned this where he, Yoko and Yasu wrote a lot of their Sankyodai songs. All the Sankyodai songs were rehearsed in this studio. Songs like Purin, Amechan, & Mikan. Subaru said he had forgotten about it but being back helped him remember all of it again
*i’m mostly paraphrasing from 2nd hand translations. So i apologize if there any mistakes. Let me if they need any changes
