(after PEAK plays)
Kouki(K): Alright! This show is now in its second year on air, there will be a special this week called the "Come listen to our growth Special"
Junno(J): Wa~
K: Why don't you explain this project's details?
J: Alright. In order to inform everyone of our growth, this whole week will be based on All Free Talk.
K: Will this work?! Can it possibly work?!
J: Yup, it'll be a deep talk with just Kouki and Junnosuke.
K: To say the truth, it's pretty scary.
J: Only thing is, we still have to have a topic, and todays topic is this!
K: "Kamenashi Kazuya"!
(music)
J: That was really graceful (I can't find an english word for it...)
K: Alright, then let's start~
J: Starting today until Friday, we will be having talks with each of the members (of KAT-TUN) as topics. The order will be: Kamenashi, Junnosuke, Kouki, Ueda, Nakamaru! So that means, we'll start with Kamenashi Kazuya~
K: What kind of person is he?
J: How can I describe it, it's really~ like he's a very strong (mentally and physically) person.
K: Do you remember when you first met him?
J: I remember~, it was a long time ago, during the 1999 Jr. concert
K: 特急(tokkyuu)? tokkyuu? (*tokkyuu=limited express train, faster than the express)
J: tokkyuu tokkyuu!
K: Ah~tokkyuu huh?
J: Do you remember?
K: I remember it really well.
J: It was on October 9th, that's why it's called the 'tokkyuu concert' (*october9=10/09=tookyuu-->tokkyuu=limited express...yeah, it's a pun...)
K: Ah yeah, for me, our first meeting was probably in private.
J: Eh? Why?
K: Yamapi and I are friends right? So I often go to Yamapi's house to play, and that time Kame would come over to play with Yamapi sometimes too.
J: Ah, so it's like that.
K: Un, that's why when I went to Yamapi's house to play, Kamenashi's grandma's old home grew rice right? His grandma.
J: That's true (laugh)
K: So then he was going to bring rice for Yamapi
J: Ohohoh
K: That's why, on the way to the station, there was Kamenashi lugging that bag of rice.
J: Hahahaha
K: It's just like an offering.
J: Wahahaha, rice?!
K: Providing it to sustain Yamapi (like when you 'support' your parents when they get old)
J: Are you serious?!
K: Un, mah~, it's that kind of feeling. Let's end with a phrase to describe (Kame). To me, Tanaka Kouki, Kamenashi Kazuya is, well, "(my) inner oasis".
both: Wahahahaha
J: Inner oasis.
K: Un, sorry about that, was that too much, just now?
J: Uh-huh, uh-huh.
K: Then let's listen to Taguchi-kun's (description).
J: Okay, to me, Taguchi Junnosuke, Kamenashi Kazuya, is "Japan's Don Ho". (*for more info on Don Ho: http://www.donho.com/index2.html)
K: Ah~ I see! Japan's Don Ho right? Who would know who "Don Ho" is?
J: Ahahahahaha. A huge star in Hawaii~ If you talk about Hawaii's songs, he really is a huge star!
K: This guy doesn't exist right?
J: Mah, he's a huge star.
K: But what's weird is, I'm not the type to give off the 'glow' of celebrities. If I walk around Shibuya, I'll just be like a normal person.
J: Fufufu, don't go then.
K: But Kamenashi gives off a really bright 'glow' in these cases, that's why, in this case, he is someone who has what I do not.
J: Ah...right now, in Shibuya and many other places, there's lots of (Kame's) billboards!
K: That's right~ there is!
J: 903iTV~
K: Yeah
J: It's great.
K: I actually sent an iShot (photo taken by cellphones) to Kame once
J: Really? What kind of photo?
K: I saw a DoCoMo ad, it was huge, when we were at karaoke right, looking out of the karaoke window "Ah, there's Kamenashi('s billboard)!" (laugh), so I took a picture and sent "You're (billboard is) here!" to Kamenashi.
both: Wahahahaha
J: He probably was surprised, being suddenly told that.
K: Yeah, that's why, there's that feeling!
J: Yeah!
