Yes, these translations do take forever but of course you know that...after all you actually did a few shows by transcript! crazy amazing! I allow myself the luxury of skipping parts when I get fed up...like that bathing part...and the silver bra....*cough cough*
It would be great if Usapi did seep in while gaming but I tried it too and not a word got in
Usually I listen while colouring something in photoshop or late at night on the weekend. Can never be too sure on how much i understand past midnight though ^_^;
but yes..I agree with you. Give Sayu a blog so she can post awesome behind the scenes pictures like Tsunku and Mako chan!
Hm...maybe this will shed some light on what Sayu said about sitting together with Eri. If my blur-a-vision is right...I'd say Sayu and Eri are sitting next to each other in the first picture. (hehe and the mask dual look like Ai chan and Gaki). Can't see whose who in the second picture but that looks like the setting Sayu was talking about.
anyways my favourite part on KonUsaPi this week is the Quiz Shigesagon part about Eri. It cracked me up a lot!
Enjoy =D

KonUsaPi #117 2008-12-30
Geemu Parto 2-Recently Sayu's been into a ikusei game. (those simulation games where you raise things like pets)
-The members, like Niigaki Risa and Kamei Eri, were into it too so the 3 of them played together.
-right now Sayu and her sister are really into it. They bought the next version up which is now in colour. When she was playing it with Eri and Gaki san it was only available in black and white.
-Sayu finds it's super cute in colour. She treats it as if it were her own child. If she dropped it a little she would apologize to it.
-In the game you can renovate the room to your liking. Sayu made hers look like a princess's room and is able to transform into a weird ninja dude
-it doesn't really go well together but Sayu thinks it's super cute
-Sayu bought the game during the Christmas season.
-in the store, where she was buying the game, there was a mother and son. the son was like "mama I want this" but the mom wasn't going to buy it
-Sayu was thinking ~why is the mama being a meanie? you can't rely on Santa-san
-turns out the boy didn't want the game but a plastic model that was 4 times the cost instead
-the mother told the boy to pick out one model he wanted but he had a very hard time choosing. The mom finally coaxed him into telling her which one he really wanted with the good old Santa trick.
-Sayu thought the scene was so cute and nostalgic
Quiz Shigesagon[According to the office site, what is your best friend, Kamei Eri's hobby and specialty]
Sayu: -sleeping? -cooking? -if it's from the past..there isn't any. -specialty..tongue twisters?
(all wrong)
-The answer to hobby was reading. Sayu is in disbelief and calls Eri a liar!
-The specialty was running fast. She believes the running part because Eri is fast but reading?! Eri really doesn't read!
-Sayu understands being bad at reading novels but even with manga Eri gives up after page 1 or two pages
-Sayu claims Eri's okay with looking at pictures but she's poor at reading words...like it doesn't seem to enter the mind
-She brings up GakiKame as an example...Eri's the only one that doesn't get a script
every week. Risa would have the script and would advance the show along while Eri just talks in response
-Sayu's sure the fans would figure it out right away but the bluff does have some cuteness to it
*punishment game: Sayu sings a song about Koharu in the Romance tune*
[listener asks if she was really surprised when Ogawa Makoto suddenly showed up at her place --reference to Mako chan's blog, dec.12th entry]
-that day, Sayu's mom said that Mako chan mama was coming over.
-She thought it was mako chan mama at the door when the door bell went off.
-at that time Sayu was eating oden and then came "Saaaaaayu~"
-Sayu thought Mako chan was in high spirits! and thought Ooh, Mako chaaan~ like normal
-Sayu was a little embarrassed about the blog picture cause she had close to no makeup on but thanks mako chan all the same for letting people be able to see the regular Sayu.
Boots-Sayu thought this was totally a given but every morning her mom would help her put her boots on.
-she thought it was totally normal until she told Gaki san. Gaki san was like "EHHHhhhhhhhhh!?" in reaction
-Gaki thought it was amazing but it's totally normal for the shige household. Her brother is the exception but Her mom gets boots for sayu and her sister.
-usually when there's like 5 minutes to go, her mom would shout out "what colour boots would you like today?" and Sayu would shout out something like "brown~" and she'd bring them.
-Her mom would unzip the boots, Sayu would put her feet in, then her mom would zip them up
-Sayu thought this was totally NORMAL. she found out otherwise recently and was very surprised.
Otona no Gakuryoku Kentei QUIZ Special-Sayu was really nervous appearing on tv without the rest of the members
-it was a very fun show
-Yaguchi and Okada Yui were really kind
