I need to get that dvd, when it comes out
Young Town Doyoubi 06-04-15Opening talkThe sakura blossoms disappeared so fast that Sanma had no time to go to hanami (he wanted to, as he is getting older and wants to enjoy it before he gets sclerotic* ). Sanma also acted as a matchmaker for Shouji and famous enka singer Sakamoto Fuyumi (they were both guests on last week’s Sanma no Manma). He invited them both to dinner after the show, as Shouji is a big fan of her. They didn’t really think she would come, but she even went so far as to wait for both of them at the sushi restaurant. () But as the shop owner was an even greater fan of Sakamoto, he kept glaring at Shoujil the whole time, and later they started to argue about who is the bigger fan (). Also, everyone in the studio realizes that Korean surnames are very short and hard to remember (Aichan likes Chan Don Gon ).Zenryaku no CornerThe first letter is about Miki’s World Cup related comment in the newspapers. She said she plans to watch some matches, so a listener suggests to Sanma that he should invite her to his house (and give some commentary ) if he’s not going to Germany (but he IS going ). He wouldn’t be interested in watching soccer with amateurs who don’t know much about it anyway (). On another topic, Sanma thinks people’s memory about Friday scandals has gotten shorter nowadays, so *H!P members* that were Friday’d should have no problems coming back in short time (on the contrary, the longer *someone* hides, the more it seems to stand out ).The second letter is about Aichan’s MC part in last week’s Morning Musume concert in Yokohama. She said something in the vein of “I’m sending my love to everyone who came today, and I’m filled with the love you all sent to me” ...to which the audience reacted with a big laugh. The listener wants to know if she prepared that, or if she was just scatter-brained as usual (). Aichan explains that she was up second, after Miki’s MC, and since Miki also said something incomprehensible, it was a chain reaction. Aichan actually glanced at Miki looking for help, because she had no idea what she was saying (and didn’t even know why the audience laughed ). Sanma advices its good to pretend to cry in situations like that. ()In the third letter, the listener noticed that Aichan pronounced her own name in the show's opening with an accent. She doesn’t say Takahashi Ai, but Takahashai (). It’s hard to say if it’s just because she speaks fast, or if it’s really her accent...but she often does it in concerts too. Everyone in the studio keeps checking her pronunciation again, and though she doesn’t think so, the resulting decision is that Aichan still speaks with an accent (and Miki even notices a few grammar errors ). Sanma thinks it should be her weapon though.In the fourth letter, the listener reminds Sanma that it’s not any big news that Miki fell in love with him, as she’s been sending love signals to him for quite a while (ever since he compared her to Ohtsuka and Miki said he should stick with her then ). Sanma states he is too popular with girls to be aware of each one of their love signals (), but he invites Miki to go to the sushi restaurant mentioned in the opening to settle this ().The fifth letter is about Gatas members’ ambition to get a futsal/soccer referee's license (4th grade). For the lowest grade, there are only some practical skills necessary (there's no running or physical training), so Miki believes she can get it (although she's not too sure what she'd do with it ). On the other hand, Aichan’s kickbase team started practicing again, and they've had some matches already (just rabbits A vs. rabbits B though ). Both coaches played with them, and their kicked balls were apparently hard to catch (). After further discussion, everyone realizes that Aichan (and probably the other Rabbits members) still has no clue about the rules of kickbase. ()Yando Boke Kouza ft. Shouji no CornerSanma asks the girls if they practiced for this corner during the week, but they apparently didn’t (although Aichan memorized a few words ).Today's words: Friday (fu-ra-i-de-i) – The girls did well, so Sanma blamed Shouji for the bad punchline (even Miki’s line before was funnier ).Erobaiku (e-ro-ba-i-ku) – It’s not good to have some words prepared, and use them regardless of the story development...which is exactly what the girls are doing. Aichan got some private lessons again, and did well in the end.Haru urara (ha-ru-u-ra-ra) – Aichan needed a lot of adjustments again, but Miki found a nice punch line that made Sanma angry and got Shouji laughing (so it was probably a success )“SEXY BOY ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~” plays here.Listener wo Iyasemasen no CornerAichan surprised everyone with her inability to read the kanji for Koube City (actually, it is a slightly irregular read, but a native Japanese should’ve had no problems with it ), and everyone picked on her because of that.Ai - Mou chotto dake (Just a little bit more) – Not good (Sanma couldn’t see her objective).Miki - Mou yurushite (Let’s stop now) - Miki had problems with reading katakana here (). She could’ve done better (there was just too much echo).Ai - Nee? Dame? (Hey? Can I?) – Sanma recognized her efforts at least. She was also extremely happy that she read the listener’s town correctly this time (I’ve never heard Sanma laugh as much as he did after this statement ).Miki - Takusan ii koto shiyo (Let’s do many nice things) – Adding “Haa, haa” before the sentence apparently worked for Miki ().Karaoke Box SanchamaHere, Aichan and Miki sing The Peanuts’ hit Koi no Fuga, with the title changed to Ai to Miki. Sanma got angry at the cheap lyrics. The girls thought it was their fault and apologized, so Sanma decided to blame them for everything from now on ().Ending talkNext week is the Risu no Hi special, and Tanaka Reina will come as a guest too. Since she is only 16 years old, Sanma says Ai and Miki should show her a good example, and not behave like they have been today. He is also pissed, because he thinks Ai and Miki don’t listen to him (they think he is just some random old geezer who’s there just for fun ). And Aichan got pissed because the guys told her not to go to the Koube or Kansai area.
