[note:
-SmaTIMES is a TAKE-FREE paper published by TV Asahi, a review of SmaSTATION live program
-I made screencaps and some transcript of Shingo-Yuko's talks in SmaSTATION last week, in the "Bara no nai Hanaya" thread: http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.11062.180.htm

Tonight's SmaSTATION is "Best 30 Anime Heroines chosen by adults!". And tonight's guest is the star of "Team Batista no Eikou"[The Glory of Team Batista] movie which premiere today, and also Katori-chief editor's co-star in the big hit drama that is recently showing, "Bara no nai Hanaya", Takeuchi Yuko!
Katori-chief editor's favorite anime heroine is Mine Fujiko from "Lupin III". Takeuchi-san's favorite is Oscar from "Rose of Versailles". And Oshita-announcer's favorite is Ayuhara Kozue from "Attack No. 1". Of course, these 3 choices were included in the list. The Best 3 of the rank are: #1 is Asakura Minami from "TOUCH", #2 is Mine Fujiko from "Lupin III", and #3 is Ramu from "Uru Hoshi Yatsura".
"There were many of them broadcasted before I was born, but I actually know all of them," Takeuchi-san said. The fact that one anime has many fans from the next generations, it shows how much impact the anime has.
Katori-chief editor was shocked to see the "fan service" scenes of Mine Fujiko, Ramu-chan and even Shizuka. It made him thinking, "I want to watch anime, na~". He is very busy in present time, so it seems like he don't have time at all to watch anime.
By the way, when the question of "Have you ever cried watching anime?" came, both Takeuchi-san and chief editor thought of the same anime which is "Hotaru no Haka" [Grave of Fireflies]. Chief editor said, "I felt like 'I got it!' 'I had enough!', and I just can't watch that again,".
Shingo5: Heroes Cannot Win Over Heroines!
[image]
Tonight's special is some kind of a healing for Katori-chief editor, and that's exactly the charm that the anime heroines has.
"We cannot win over the heroines... somehow I feel that way. The women's kindness, and power... Probably because their goddess-like existence. Sometimes, the male leads in comics, even with their rough and violent personalities, they can never resist the heroines' charm, right? It seems like the heroines always take over control of one whole world of each story, ne. Just like Fujiko, is she a foe? Is she an ally? No one actually knows. But if she's a man, no one would forgive her. I totally understand Lupin's feelings when he lost to her beauty and forgive her. Goemon and Sugimoto too, they forgive her, right? Well, Lupin has feelings for her, so it's obvious that he forgive her, but Sugimoto and the others always complain when she comes again like "Here she comes again!", but in the end they forgive her, anyway.
Is "Ohanaya-san" losing to Yuko-chan too? He must have lost to her beauty, ne. But that goes to Shizuku too. That's why, I had chummy talks with Yuko-chan, in a place where Shizuku cannot see us (laughs)."
Surrounded by Mio and Shizuku, we'd also really like to know Eiji-san's fate...
Guest Talk: Takeuchi Yuko-san
"Today, Katori-san was Katori Shingo-san. It felt 'Aa~ he's wearing a suit! (laughs)'."

--What is your impression after appearing in this show?
I heard that one hour would felt really short, and it was really shorter than I imagined, ne. While I was watching the Best 30 recaps, I thought "I watched that, I watched that", "I know this, I know this" and suddenly it has ended. It felt like watching it at home and it was fun. Since Katori-san was there beside me, that also made me feel relax and I didn't feel nervous at all.
--It seem like you've watched all the animes in the Best 30 rank, ne.
Sou desu ne. Of course, I might have watched the reruns of most of them. When I was a child, I think I watched most animes that broadcasted before 9 o'clock.
--You said, you like Oscar from Rose of Versailles, was there any other heroines in the rank, that impressed you?
Akubi-chan from "Action Omao", ne. She was really cute. Also, surprisingly, I didn't know about that ending scene. Aside "Action Omao"'s ending, I also felt moved with some of the others too.
--Is there any anime you'd like to watch now?
I didn't know there was a special episode of "TOUCH". I want to watch that. I wanna know what happen to Asakura Minami after the ending of the series. I also feel like I want to watch the whole series of some other anime.
--Recently, you're starring "Bara no nai Hanaya" drama together with Katori-san, is there any difference between Katori-san on the filming set and Katori-san on SmaSute?
Yes, there is. Felt like, "Aa~ he's wearing a suit" (laughs). On the filming set, of course, he is Eiji-san, so just like the character, he is a kind-hearted man. Too kind actually, that it makes me feel worry. But today, he was Katori Shingo-san, ne (laughs). Actually, today his attention and careness to his surrounding, was just the same like on the filming set, but today that part of him made me enjoy the show, and plus, it made me feel happy during the show. He is the kind of person who can make other people feel relax, so on the filming set, he also made me feel at ease.
--Actually, Katori-san also commented, "Today, Takeuchi-san looks different".
Yeah, he said to me, "Your hairstyle is different, your make-up is different,". I guess the difference is quite visible, ne (laughs).
--Last question, "Team Batista no Eikou" premiere today, February 9th. Can you please give the readers a summary of the plot? You said, that although it's a medical mystery, you filmed it thinking that it is a comedy, ne.
I think this movie can be enjoyed by young, old, men and women. It may has a wide-range of audience. There was a mistake in a surgery done in a hospital, so my character and the character acted by Abe Hiroshi-san came to investigate the case. We are investigating a heart transplantation surgery team of 7 people called "Team Batista". Although this is a medical mystery, but there were some funny dialogues too, that can make people laugh. I had fun filming it. But actually if you think more to it, those were actually scary lines. When the culprit is revealed, I'm sure it will make the audience think about the medical problems happening at this very moment. Well, anyway, please watch the movie with a light feeling.

It was a rank of Anime Heroines with Takeuchi Yuko-san as the guest. To see Katori-san and Takeuchi-san sitting side by side like that, it looked beautiful to the eyes. It felt like seeing a perfect "Hero and Heroine" pair. Especially, the real Takeuchi-san is much more prettier than the Takeuchi-san on TV. Her eyes are shining, she looks exactly like an anime heroine, to me. I was really interested in the heroine ranks. The one I liked the most, Ayuhara Kozue from "Attack No. 1" was an old anime, so I thought it won't get into the rank, but it was, so I'm glad (laughs). Katori-san and Takeuchi-san knows the animes from the late 60s and the early 70s era, apparently due to the reruns, ne. Lupin III had been rerun on television for so many times, so everyone must've known, ne. That, and I also feel surprised of so many erotic scenes. Of course I know about Lupin III, but the anime I thought I quite watched, "Uchuu Senkan Yamato", also had that kind of scenes, I didn't know that! I was surprised. After watching the Best 30 Rank, the anime I want to watch the most is "Alps no Shoujo, Heidi".
Editor in Chief (Katori Shingo)
"I wanted Fujiko to be #1, but I'm glad Shizuka was #8"

-The anime heroine special was really good, ne. It made me feel "Anime is really good,". 30 animes shown moment by moment, I felt really healed. Now I feel like I want to watch anime. I want to buy the DVD boxes and watch one whole anime series at one go, while eating snacks. Then I want to be able to say, "I'm sleep-deprived watching anime..." (laughs). Right now, I really have no time for that...
-I wanted Fujiko to be #1. Although I wanted Fujiko to be #1, but I was happy that Shizuka-chan was #8, I quite like her. Actually, I won't mind for her to be at a lower rank, but she made it to the Top Ten. Kakkoii, na~ Yappari, Doraemon is strong!
-I think I know most of them. But in this special, there were some anime that I thought, "Ah, so that's the story!". I learned alot. I also didn't know that the leading character of "Ribon no Kishi" is Sapphire.
-Takeuchi Yuko-san is really BEAUTIFUL. Some parts of her are also cute, she's really a heroine. She's also a person who cares alot and pay attention to her surrounding. I really think she's an excellent(subarashii) woman. That's why, we really matched on the filming set. I mean, as Shiomi Eiji-kun, I really matched with her. However, in SmaSute, there are some parts of me, I didn't want her to see (laughs). During the Best 30 VTR, I didn't want her to see me, while talking, shown on that little wipe screen next to her. So I think I really did my best today. "Today is SmaSTATION!!" (laughs). Letting her know, "I can be like this too!", something like that (laughs).
Shingo's Drawing for this week's SmaTIMES
[image]
==END==
I'm sorry, it's kinda hard to catch what Shingo means... he likes to talk in circles... So I just translated directly of what was written in Japanese xD And there was also some things Yuko said, that I couldn't quite understand...she also talked in circle a bit x) Esp. when they tried to convey what they think of each other :mrgreen:
Oh, and I'm surprised that Yuko thinks Shingo made her feel relax. I've read Matsu Takako and Tanaka Rena's impression after their appearances in SmaSTATION. Shingo was actually criticized a bit by some Matsu fans, when Matsu appeared in the show 2 years ago, coz it seem like Shingo was running out of topics to talk about with her, and they were both not at ease at all, and some silence moments kept repeating during the show, Matsu fans were kinda disappointed with this and said, "He's the host, he should've known how to make the conversation flows and how to make the guest feel relaxed,". Matsu comments were, "Well... sometimes we can't just suddenly be friends after filming a movie together, so I guess there were not much to talk about... but it was fun," xD (I guess, Matsu felt relax with Shingo or other SMAP members, when they're together, or the fact the member she's most familiar with, Kimura is there too, so it made her feel relax, lol!)
While Tanaka Rena said she was becoming more and more nervous, coz Shingo kept reminding her, "Rena-chan, this is a live show, y'know,", before the show started xD Although, of course, he was joking.
Maybe Shingo has learned how to be a good host, in these 2 years, ne :D
