| Guest: Nagase Tomoya Episode #49 On Air Date: 10/11/97 Yoshida Takuro: You guys always seem uneasy whenever fellow Johnnys talents are the guests. Tsuyoshi: Well, I get a little nervous because of the age difference. Kouichi: Yup, like Kimura-kun and Match-san. T: We never meet in our private lives either. K: Yeah, even if we know each other quite well. Although Nagase on the other hand, we often go out to dinner together. Nagase Tomoya: Hey you kinda look like a girl now. (observes Kouichi's new long hair style) K: Well, I guess. So, what should we talk about? I don't know... N: We go karaoke together a lot too. K: Yeah, karaoke. Oh yeah, it's him that got the song "Gaban!" stuck in my head. Y: Oh really. T: We went karaoke recently and he was singing "Gaban!" then too. He made me harmonize with him. K: Yes I did. Y: Oh, you go karaoke? K: Yes, once in awhile. T: Yes, once in awhile. K: When we have the time. (to Yoshida Takuro) What are you laughing at? T: But you know, it sucks going with all guys only. I love ballads so I always end up singing these really corny and mushy love songs. Y: Mushy...I see... T: Well, if I were with girls, I could get much more into the song and mood but then while I'm singing I look behind me and all I see are these guys in the midst of ordering fried chicken. K: Not a beautiful sight. T: Exactly. It's all dudes. Our karaoke is very sad. Y: So you go with all guys only? K: Yup. T: All guys. Y: .............. K: What's going on in that head of yours right now? T: It doesn't feel very good when you sing. K: Yup. Ok next is "Love Love Na Mono" (My Precious Things) (Picture of Tokio's leader Jyoshima Shigeru appears on screen) N: Takuro-san, this is Leader. Y: Yes, I've seen him before. K: Where'd you take this picture? N: This is from our concert in Tokyo. Actually, he took those pictures on his own. K: Oh, he took this himself? N: He was taking his own picture. Then he put the camera back as if he didn't do anything. K: So in other words, Leader made this peace sign and then took a picture of himself while no one was around? N: Yup. K: So, Leader is very precious... N: Yes, Shigeru-kun is very precious to me. K: Ok, next. (Picture of a vanilla ice cream cone) T: Ice cream? N: Recently, I have a fetish for it. K: For ice cream? N: Yup. This ice cream is the one at Odaiba and it's really delicious. It's like full of sugar and milk. Very yummy. T: Very yummy? K: You've always had a sweet tooth, huh, Old Man? N: Yes, I have a major sweet tooth. (Audience yells, "Don't call him Old Man!") K: Oh be quiet!! N: That's kinda harsh? T: You've gotta be a little on the harsh side. It's scary when you make a Kansai-man angry. K: Don't take KinKi Kids lightly! They scold me and I don't even know them. T: It can't be helped since Tomoya is a close friend. K: I've always called you "Old Man" huh. Sorry about that. N: Well, before "Old Man" it was "Tomozo-san" K: Oh yeah. N: I always answered, "What am I, some kind of stone statue (Ojizo-san)?" K: Oh yeah, you did. T: Although all the other guys said they liked the name "Tomozo-san" K: Ok, next. T: Oh, a guitar? N: I love guitars and I collect them. I always buy one whenever I got to America for work. K: Are you the type to let them put it in luggage or do you carry it on with you to the plane. N: I definitely embrace it home. K: Embrace? T: Now that's a true musician! K: I see. N: Well I saw them loading the luggage once and they just toss the bags around. T: Yes, they like to throw the luggage around. N: So I find an open seat, place it there and fasten it with a seatbelt. T: I didn't even have an extra seat. I held my Hummingbird all the way home. K: The whole 13 hours from New York to Tokyo you were clinging to it as if your life depended on it. T: The only time I let go of it was during the meal but after I finished I held it again. K: You know him? When the stewardess asked him, "Shall I put that away for you?" he was like, "No No, I'm fine" T: I didn't want to. N: Like just in case something bad happens. K: What about you, Takuro-san? Y: I don't really like guitars. T: But you play them so much. K: (imitates Takuro's singing) "If my hair were to~" T: Yeah. Y: Recently, you guys have been bugging me a whole lot. K: Uh oh. We should stop. Recently Takuro-san is on the verge of hating us. T: Not good, not good. Let's tone it down a bit. K: Yes, good idea. T: Ok, let's go to "Gacha Gacha Machine Alpha" (Bubble gum machine with questions inside those cute plastic container things instead of toys) K: Ok, this is the "Gacha Gacha Machine Alpha" T: Well, there are many questions in here? N: This is so nostalgic! K: It is, isn't it? Did you ever get those eraser toy thingies from here? N: Yeah! T: Are you folks listening to me? K: Not really. N: Sorry, sorry. T: Well, there are many questions inside so if you were to get one that you don't like go ahead and pass on it. K: Really? T: No, not you... K: Ok, let's begin. Please turn the knob. N: Don't I need to pay 25 cents? T: No, you don't have to. We couldn't go around taking money from our guests. K: Hey, maybe we should make the guests pay from now on...? T: And with that money buy a guitar. K: Yeah! T: Although it will take a real long time. K: Ok, here goes, "As a close friend of Doumoto Kouichi, you've known him for a long time, so is there any bad trait about Kouichi that you hope he will fix?" T: A bad trait Kouichi has... K: I don't like this question. Pass. T: Can you think of something? K: Is there something? N: Hmmm... K: Is there something? N: Actually you know like 2 or 3 years ago when we were roommates in the same room? K: Oh yeah... N: Well, Kouichi's baths are like super long. And when I'm just about ready to fall asleep he jumps in the bath. And he doesn't have to tell me but he always says to me, "Old Man, I'm gonna go take a shower". He's reporting to me when I'm sleeping you know...well, then I hear the shower turn on and then off after a while and he finally comes back and starts to make a huge racket doing something with his contact lenses. T: Oh, I've experienced that for many years now. When we were roomies I used to go to sleep real early, like 10:00. K: Yeah, you went to bed early. T: Well, he goes to sleep at around 1 or 2 A.M. and I'm already in bed at like 10 with all the light out and all. Then at about 1 A.M. he swings open the door and flips on the lights, "bang! Click, click" and I'm like lying there in agony thinking, "It's bright! It's bright!" and he shuffles around a bit and then "bang!" leaves. So, he like leaves me there thinking, "Hey, turn off the lights would 'ya?" and as I get out of my warm bed to turn off the light myself I'm thinking, "It's so cooold..." Well, he finally gets out of the bath and since he takes so darn long, I fall asleep once again, and just as I start dreaming, "bang! Click, click" and he makes more of a racket as he puts away his contacts. Then he leaves again and I'm like, "Hey, turn out the lights, would 'ya? It's so cooold..." N: Oh yeah! I've experienced THAT before! K: I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble. But you know, Nagase, I was your alarm clock. N: You were? K: Whenever you had to get up early, I would wake you up. N: Oh yeah, that's right. K: This guy never wakes up! T: Yeah, Naga-chan has a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. K: Well, the alarm clock rings in the morning and I think, "Oh, it's time for Nagase to get up" but Nagase doesn't budge. So I have to pull him up and drag him to the bathroom, but even in the bathroom he's still snoring his head off. So in the end, I even slapped his face a few times. T: Naga-chan really won't wake up. N: How terrible... K: Are you still like that? N: Well, I've gotten better recently. I wake up once in awhile now. K: Once in awhile... N: Yup. T: Well it's not in your daily routine so I guess it can't be helped. K: Let's do another question. T: We'll be going through all of these questions today. (Points at bubble gum machine full of questions) N: What? K: Ok, hold on...here goes, "As a close friend of Doumoto Tsuyoshi, you've known him for a very long time, what is a bad thing about Tsuyoshi that you wish he would fix?" N: But we just went over this with Kouichi. K: Well, this time it's Tsuyoshi. T: Is there something? N: Hmmm... K: It's hard to think of something, huh? N: I don't think there is anything. Nope, there isn't. T: I don't have anything about Naga-chan either. (The two shake hands) K: Ah, do whatever you like... |
