-----
I'm excited. It's the first time we're doing it! The first round!
Who's it gonna be..?
Let's begin, shall we? Let's go!
Let's go! I'm dialing our first target's number. Moshi moshi? Good evening!
Good evening!
Good evening! Pleased to meet you!
She's got a cute voice! Cute, don't you think?
I'm pleased to talk to you again, too!
“Again”? Oh, you mean we've met before? You know Erika-chan and me?
...I don't know, maybe we have!
“Maybe we...?” (lol) What's with the ambiguity!
Confusing! (lol)
Ok, let's start with the basics, I think? You want to go ahead?
So... How old are you?
Ummm...... 14?..... 14? Yes! Middle school 3rd year!
And what is your blood type?
AO-type!
Huh? “AO-type”?! AO-type... (lol)
AO-type?.... ...Is she making fun of us?
Have you ever heard somebody answer like that?
Uh, it's A-type!
A-type! A-type, right?
Blood type A, subtype O!
Wow, wow! She likes to be precise!
Well, thanks for telling us in such detail. But frankly I would expect clues of this caliber
not to start coming until 3 more questions or so. (lol) (lol)
A-type. A-type, okay.
Yes!
And... you're in a group? Or a solo performer?
I am...... uh-huh? I'm in a group!
In a group! Ok!
We're going to ask you a few more questions. Ok with you?
Where should we begin?.... Ah! This one is good! “If you were to be reborn,
what would you like to be born as?”
Umm... A mononoke wolf!
A... what?
A mononoke... ...wolf? (lol)
H1: What's that? And why?....
(lol)
(lol) It's ok, it's ok, let's move on!
Let's move on then. A mononoke wolf (Yes!), we understand completely!
Well... (suffers another lol attack) would you mind telling us a secret about yourself that you have never told to anyone?
Umm.... Once I, ummm.... (uh-huh) one morning, I kicked a ball into a cow!
(laughs hysterically)
Whaaaat?! (lol) What's THAT? (lol) Why'd you do something like that?
I, ummm, well, of course hitting a cow with a ball is something you're never supposed to do,
Of course not! Naturally!
But this cow.... (stifled lol) I was.... (lol) You went and kicked a ball into the cow. (lol)
You, like, you wanted the cow to play with you?
No, no! I was playing with the ball that morning, and the cow came along and said “Moooo!” and right there my ball
hit her in the side. I didn't want to, because there was a sign saying it's prohibited, so I--
There was a sign?!
“Please do not kick balls into cows”? You GOTTA be kidding! (lol)
And the cow got angry-- The cow got angry? ...but I didn't tell anybody that I was responsible. It's my little secret.
That the cow was angry because of your ball? Yes. I see. So that nobody else would know. Yes.
Well, there probably would not be any harm if even if you told them... (lol) This is your secret...?
I think... I know who our mystery person is. I think I know, too. Like, you just suddenly realize, right?
Not too many girls around here who came from the wonderland, right? Tennen characters. It's her, I'm sure.
Haven't we had her as a guest before? The girl with the cute nickname. On this program. Yeah.
She instantly popped into my mind. Me too.
By the way, among the members of Hello Project... uh-huh! ...who are you on especially good terms with?
Hmm.... Ummmmm... Hmmmm....
(mocking) “Hmm-umm-hmm.”
...Okai Chisato-san! Oooooooooh! You often go out together, then? Where do you usually go?
(flatly) We don't. (.....XX..... XX .....) “We don't”!! (laughing hysterically)
(lol) ←←(lol) Got you! (lol).....each other a lot. Sorry?
But we talk with each other a lot. You talk a lot! Yes!
But, you haven't been going out to play, yet. No. You haven't, hm... Ok, so you talk a lot -- what do you talk about?
Ummm..... Hmmmmmmm. I forgot........ xx
(lol) Doesn't seem like “talking a lot” to me! (says something, overlaps with ←) Eh? come again?
We talk about other members. Aaaaah! Okai-chan -- she's from C-ute, if I'm not mistaken? Yes!
Ok, and in your group (uh-huh), what kind of position, exactly, do you hold? Like, your job.
Hmmm..... Well... I'm unreliable, and whimsical, and I almost never blog my up, er... update my blog! (→→both burst out laughing)
That ain't a job! (lol)
“One position open, the ideal candidate will be whimsical, unreliable, and incapable ...” (lol ) “...of updating
a blog!” (lol) Yeah, I know who the Mystery Person is. And I know.
Can you tell us about an item that you have recently bought?
Uhm, recently... I bought a CD! A CD!
What kind of? What artist's?
...I bought a CD by "Sekai-no-Owari"-san.
hmmm....
I think it's quite popular now. I see.
So, we know already who she is, don't we. Yeah.
But, well, since there's also one last clue, which our director prepared for us--
Ok.
“The Mystery Person is a girl from up north, with absolute pitch.”
Wow!
Yeah! Well, dear listeners, can you guess who she is? If you can, please shoot us an email!
Meanwhile, we... It's 30 seconds, right? I think we'd like to have one final consultation between ourselves. (sfx: music plays)
Before the song is over, we have to make a decision. And, everybody, please hurry up with your emails, will you?
...but, really, we're decided already, aren't we? Absolutely.
She was a guest on this program.
She was.
Perfect pitch, and up north. Yes, yes.
Already, there was hardly any doubt, and this is just a confirmation.
Just “up north” would've been enough.
That alone eliminates a lot of names, and, besides, since we're from these parts too...
We would've guessed fairly easily, right? Yes. Of course it's her. Not your average “tennen”,
but, like, the next order of magnitude. Yeah, the girl who was born in Wonderland. I'd really like to
take a peek inside her brain!
Ah, the music's over!
Time's up, time's up! We aren't taking any more emails! Everybody who's sent one, thank you! Thank you--!
All right, shall we announce our guess as to who the Mystery Person is?
Let's do it. Ok, together now? But -- not much of a mystery, frankly?
One, two, three...
Morning Musume, Sato-chan!
Ok, will you please tell us your name? (sfx: drum roll.....)
Morning Musume '14, Sato Masaki! (sfx: pin-pon-pin-pon)
Yaaaaay! (clapping) Buuut, it was not that hard, was it? Easy, rather.
Erm, the story about the cow -- I made it up. What? The cow? Not true? Made up? (lol)
I was giving you a hint! In the “morning”, “Mooo!” You get it now?
......Ooooooooh!
Incredible! Now I see it! So that's what the story was about! Impressive!
I'm impressed.
I totally didn't expect such a clever hint. To think of something like that, well, takes a touch of genius.
I know! ☆
You know?!... WHY YOU, you brat...! (affectionately) (lol)
Well, it's incredible, Masayo-chan, how you can get people to like you... “Masayo”? (lol)
Who's that (lol) Masaki-chan! (lol) Yes! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Masaki-chan. (lol) “Masayo-chan” (lol)
All right. So, here we've got a few curious tidbits about Masaki-chan... (Yes!)
From your early childhood, you've been taking a lot of lessons. The piano, drums, horse riding, wow, that's
a lot, really. A lot. And whenever you do update your blog, you always start it with “Yahoo-tai” --
It's “Yahho-tai”!
Ah, sorry, I did it again! (lol) “Yahho-tai.” So, what does it mean?
Well, we were recording this song, “Ai no gundan”... uh-huh It's “Guuun-daaan”, right? And right at the “daaan”,
everybody goes “yahho”, right? Hence, a “tai” that does “yahho” (※ dan = group, party, company; tai = group, crew, squad)
...a “tai” … that does “yahho”. … “Yahho-tai”!
So, after that, you just went ahead and invented the word? (overlapping) Try saying it!
Yes I did!
(lol )
I can't remember when I laughed this hard!
And you know what really gets me? This girl, well, this “tennen character”, this “wonderland dweller” --
if you don't know her, if you, especially, have never had a chance to talk to her -- never will you get
the slightest idea what she really is. As long as she keeps her mouth closed! Because her outward look
is, like, that of refined beauty? And just read what her resume says: “Special skills -- The piano! Ballet!
Hobbies (Yes) -- Drums and horse riding!” So, you read this, and you imagine this intellectual, pure, refined --
The chairman's daughter, the young lady from the high society --
--with a crowd of suitors around her... And compare this to her REAL personality.
(chuckles)
Yeah (lol)
To her true personality. (lol) I'm sorry, I know we are being rude... But what can you do? (lol)
Still, this is precisely what makes her so adorable. You can't help youself, you just love this girl. Absolutely.
It will make me happy if she can stay this way forever. Even into her 20s, even her 30s...
It will be a delight to watch her growing up.
So, please, Masayo-chan...
“Masayo” again?! Masa... (lol) Masaki-chan, Why are you stuck on “Masayo”! (lol)
...Masaki-chan, right? We're waiting for you in Hokkaido! Please, come visit us and our radio show, “SanaMiyo”! We will be waiting!
Yes! I'd love to!
Thank you! And, to wrap up today's program, would you like to say something to our audience?
Ok! Well, as you know. Hokkaido is my homeland, and this year again, on Morning Musume '14's spring t-- oh, autumn tour--
no, spring tour-- sorry! Was it autumn...? Sorry! On Morning Musume's spring tour, “Evolution”, we're going to visit Hokkaido
starting in April... te...nth? …..I forgot, but sometime in April! ...and have a concert in Nitori Bunka Hall! Please come see us!
Oh, I remembered! It's April 12!
April 12, right? Yes!
Please do come!
Bye-bye!
Thank you.
Thank you!
Ok, this has been Morning Musume '14's Sato Masaki! And, since we are giving presents to our listeners who guessed right... ( the rest snipped )
