This is one of the Utaban episodes that I liked. Funny, usually I enjoyed watching JE artists in Utaban than other normal one when other singers went to Utaban, except for my favourite singers. NEWS in Utaban, Nakai really talked a lot like a daisenpai and very genki looking.
Koyama: "We're here to promote our first debut single".
Nakai: "Are? You're my soul, soul..."(Arashi's debut song. Nakai must remembered it very well :mrgreen: )
NEWS: Arashi desu.. It's Arashi's.
Nakai: NewS, da da daaa....!
NEWS: Hai... Hai.
Nakai: "Must be that one right? Far away, yusho! Far away, yusho!"
NEWS: It's not like that....
Nakai: Far away, yusho! That one right? It's quite a energetic song.
Taka-san: "Yoku shitteru nee, demo.." Seems like you knew quite a lot, but...

Nakai: Isn't that your debut song?
Yamapi: No, it's only sold in kombini(minimarket).
Nakai: Eh, only at kombini?
Yamapi: Hai, so this time it's the real one.
Taka-san: That song was used for Women Volleyball World Tournament at that time right.
NEWS was divided into 2 groups, one was FujiTV side and another one at TBS side.
Nakai: Eh, Yamashita-kun had 6 dramas. How about other members in dorama?
Shige: Hai, Kinpachi-sensei desu.
Nakai: Oh, Kinpachi-sensei? Itsu no? (When it is?)
Shige: Ueto Aya's..
Nakai: Ueto Aya's? kinpachi-sensei is supposed to to be Kinpachi-sensei's(Takeda-san). What's this? Ueto Aya's Kinpachi-sensei?
Taka-san: Isn't bad you're not in TBS side?
Nakai: TBS probably won't call you for a drama anymore. Zannen(Too bad...)

Taka-san: NEWS Japan... (He's making fun of NEWS's name)
Nakai: Hai, first is profile data.
Taka-san: Eh, there are university students?
Koyama: I'm in the same university with Yamahita.
Yamapi: I'm in the economic department, he's in the literature department. Ichinensei desu(First year student), while he's 2nd year student.
Nakai: So, you'll meet him in university...
Koyama: I knew, but Hachaka Mechaka desu.
Everyone?????? (Baka Kei-chan)
Nakai/Taka-san: Isn't it hichaka mechaka darou?
Nakai: Please say it properly. So, how was it after Yamapi entered the university?
Koyama: Ah when everyone saw him, people will say, "Ah, Yamapi da!(It's Yamapi!)
Nakai: But when you're 1st year student, you're already in News right?
Koyama: Not yet, before I told them I'm a Johnny's everyone was friends. After they realized, they became "Ah I saw you on TV!".
Nakai: Sabishii na... (It must be lonely)
Koyama: Hai, sabishii desu. It wasn't as bad as I said. Ganbarimasu.
Taka-san: Aoyama Gakuin...
Nakai: Aoyama Gakuin? Who?
Shige: It's me.
Taka-san: Must be smart. (I always heard people saying Aoyama students are smart too)
Shige: Eh, how to say it?

Everyone clapped for him. :applaud: :applaud:
And Nakai got shy too afterward.
Nakai: Don't make me embarass... Aoyama Gakuin's student is here.
Taka-san: Minna sugoi ne. (Everyone is great...)
[image]
Nakai: Who are from Kanagawa prefecture? (Nakai's birthplace/hometown)
Kusano: It's me. I think it's in Yokohama.
Nakai: You think?
Kusano: Nakai-kun seems always go to the place near my house.
Nakai: What place is that?
Kusano: In Yokohama, it's the meat shop near my house. You went before right?
Nakai: Shiraneeyo. How would I know?!!
[image][image]
Nakai: I don't know! Even you yourself don't know exactly where you live at! Which meat shop?
Kusano: You went to Ichiban Karubi deshou ne?
Nakai: Ichiban Karubi, don't say it! (Maybe Nakai's fans should go there more often :mrgreen: )
[image]
Nakai: Tegoshi-kun, which part of Kanagawa prefecture you're from?
Tegoshi: It's in Yokohama.
Nakai: It's a good place.
Tegoshi: My mother said Nakai also often came to my mom's shop.
Nakai: How would I know?!!! Doko? Which shop is that?
Tegoshi: Murauchi. (Maybe Nakai and Tegoshi's fans should go there too :mrgreen: )
Nakai: Murauchi?!! (Nakai had big reaction :rofl: )
Taka-san: You must be happily shopping there.

Taka-san/Nakai: Next question, things you want to say in Utaban.
Koyama: Everyone's role in NewS is not so clear yet. because there are many members.
Nakai: NewS has 8 members right? Aren't there people who's always in the middle? To tell the truth, in this group is there anyone who is bad in dancing?
Shige and Tegoshi raised their hands.
Nakai to Shige: Then, you're
Goro One. (Nakai :hehe: )
Shige: Ah....
[image][image]
Nakai to Tegoshi: And you're
Goro 2. (Nakai :hehe: )
Tegoshi: I'm 2?
Nakai: Goro 2, is that ok?
Tegoshi: Hai.
[image]
And Tegoshi had someone he wanted to meet in Utaban.
[image]
Nakai: In this group, who's bad at singing? Uta ka dare ga heta na no?
Koyama raised his hand.
Nakai: How bad are you? Dono gurai heta?
Koyama was speechless and showed his hand at Nakai. (Baka Kei-chan)
[image]
Nakai: nanda yo... What's this? Hey, what do you mean? What's with your hand? It's like I'm the same as you. :rofl:
Koyama: No, it's like 'this's the weakness I would like to get better at.'
Nakai's lecture to Koyama began....
[image]
Nakai: When I'm in Music station, I would check the batteries inside the mike, sometimes it's none inside. :hehe:
Taka-san: How could that happen?
Nakai: It's true! There were no batterries. Usually, I don't sing, other members will. The shouting part like "Yay!", "Let's GO!" or "Smap's desu!", all that I will do it. Only, only in Music station, there were no batteries inside the mike. I shouted "LET'S GO" with such loud voice, only Kimura heard my voice. ( :hehe: Only Takuya heard it?!!) Afterward, Kimura said to me, "Just now, didn't you shout LET'S GO?" (Nakai said it in really cute way! :mrgreen: . Now we know why everytime before Smap sing in Music Station Nakai would open up the microphone and check the battery inside)

And NEWS members were happily listening to Nakai's story.
Nakai: Next is Nishikido-kun right?
Ryo: Hai, Nishikido desu.
Nakai: Your face, looked like bare foot. (With CG effect)
[image]
Nakai: I mean it in a good way, really!
Ryo: In front of nationwide broadcast TV, please don't say that! I feel pity for my mother. (Ryo's poison tongue :hehe: )
Nakai: This person has 'outstanding' character.
Ryo: Didn't Taka-san mentioned young girls prefer Kattun?
Nakai: He meant in LIVE shows...
Taka-san: But you guys LIVE shows aren't bad too...
Nakai: Looks like NEWS and Kattun are good rival. For Smap, our rival at that time was CHA CHA (Smap's senior group in JE)
Everyone laughed. :rofl:
Nakai: You don't know? CHA CHA?
Nakai: Ka-chan(a member of Cha Cha) is interesting, omoshiroi! Why there was such interesting person?!!!
[image][image]
Massu bought a Inoue Waka's photobook(must be gravure idol).
Nakai: It's still at your house?
Musuda: Yes.
Nakai: Where you put it?
Masuda: Under my bed. :rofl:
[image][image]
Kusano talked about a foreign entertainer that he liked in a variety show. Seem like Nakai and Taka-san knew something about him(a graduate from Harvard University).
[image][image]
Ending with Nakai and Taka-san signed on the Japan flag(full of signaturesof famous people) and put it up.

I wish to see Uchi again one day... :shamefulcry:
It was fun to do this, good way to relieve pressure. I'll work on another Utaban tonight, the other one is more interesting.
