Utaban
June 13, 2002
Hosts: Ishibashi "Taka-san" Takaaki (comedian/entertainer)
      and Nakai Masahiro (leader of Johnny's idol group SMAP)

All captions printed on the screen during the show will be indicated by parentheses (). Also, keep in mind that, like V6, host Nakai-kun is also a Johnny's.]


Nakai: It's been a year and a half since we've last had V6 on.
[Actually, it was a year - June 21, 2001.]
Taka-san: [to Sakamoto] I haven't seen (Yoshida) Terumi-san in such a long time.
[Last time V6 was on Utaban, Taka-san commented on Sakamoto-kun's new short haircut, saying he looked like Yoshida Terumi. Yoshida Terumi is radio/tv show host.]
Sakamoto: I heard a rumor.
(Figures, we start off with this.)
Sakamoto: From the staff. They called up Terumi-san's office to borrow a picture. They said, "Ah, hello, we're from TBS. For a V6... Ah, you have a picture? Thank you." They didn't have to say a thing. "If you want a picture, that's fine."
([displaying Terumi-san photo] We borrowed this picture, too.)
Nakai: It's good that they were watching.
Sakamoto: I wonder. [dry look]
Nakai: Sakamoto-kun, how old are you?
Sakamoto: I'm still 30.
Inocchi: He'll be 31 soon.
Nakai: Nagano, you're 30, too.
Nagano: [motioning to Nakai] We're both 30.
Okada: I just turned 21.
Nakai: You debuted at 14, didn't you. So it's been, six years, seven years.
(V6's starting their seventh year since their debut.)
Nakai: Amazing, huh.
Okada: I was 14 when I first met everyone. [looking around]
Nakai: Hm... How's it been going? With Utada Hikaru?
[Everyone begins laughing.]
[On a previous episode of Utaban, Utada Hikaru came on and commented that Okada-kun was her type of guy. As Nakai-kun is a good big brother and happened to know that V6 was just next door, Nakai-kun pulled Okada-kun onto the Utaban set and made them talk to each other. Hikki was rather flustered, but did managed to point out that if Okada-kun was looking for someone with money, she had it.]
Nakai: Utada Hikaru bought you.
(Last time, with the "In love with Okada-kun" talk.)
Nakai: [to V6] Did you see it?
V6: We saw it, we saw it.
Nakai: Jealous, huh?
Okada: Money doesn't really matter.
Nakai: You could get a place with a 40 jou living room.
[A jou is a counter for tatami, Japanese woven mats. Each measures 90cm x 180cm, so 40 would be about 65 square meters, which is a ridiculously large size, especially in Japan.]
Inocchi: She could build you your own house.
Nakai: That's right. She could build an addition. Did you watch it?
Nagano & Inocchi: [nodding] We watched it.
(A new burning love? Utada Hikaru & Okada Jun'ichi, a new big couple!?)
Nakai: Jealous, huh?
Nagano: But if things changed, there'd be problems...
Nakai: You're popular~! [elbowing Okada] Big couple.
Taka-san: No problem. He could be her manager...
Nakai: "Utada Hikaru-san's coming in~!"
Taka-san: [miming brushing Sakamoto's hair]
Nakai: Do all of her make-up... But she could give you lots of money.
Okada: No, I don't really need money...
Nakai: If that happened and I stopped being popular, I'd say, "Hire me~"

Nakai: You all have lots of individual projects as well....
Taka-san: [turning to Sakamoto] Like radio?
Sakamoto: Huh? No, that's Terumi-san, Terumi-san. The real one.
Taka-san: [laughing at himself]
Nakai: [to Taka-san] He's not really Terumi-san. He's Sakamoto-kun.
Taka-san: On TBS, about a year ago, Nakazawa-san and Terumi-san were on...
[Former Morning Musume leader Nakazawa Yuko co-starred with Sakamoto-kun in the musical "Footloose."]
Sakamoto: Hey...
Nakai: You did a musical, didn't you.
Sakamoto: Yes.
Nakai: Huh, when was that again?
Sakamoto: Ah, last year...
Taka-san: "Loose socks" or something?
Sakamoto: No, no, "Footloose."
Taka-san: Ah, I see.
Sakamoto: What kind of musical is that?
Nakai: What about Inocchi?
Inocchi: I'm doing one.
Nakai: Huh? You're doing one now?
Inocchi: Yes.
(V6 have been really busy by themselves lately.)
Nakai: You're performing now, but you're here... Are you okay? Do you have time?
Inocchi: [rather shortly] I'm here because I have time.
Nakai: [laughing] Sorry, sorry.
(Inohara Yoshihiko, 26 years-old. So busy he's in a bad mood.)
Nakai: But, you're doing performances at night, right? But you've got V6, and stage performances, and TV, you're doing everything...
(Right now, Inohara-kun's really busy doing the musical "Toua Hiren.")
[Toua Hiren (roughly "Far Eastern Tragic Love") starred Inocchi and Shoo from S.E.S., a Korean pop trio. It was the love story of a Japanese guy meeting a Korean girl.]
Inocchi: That's right. [suddenly] Wait, but isn't Nakai-kun the same? With dramas and all... [somewhat angrily again] It's the same as me, isn't it.
[The other members laugh at Inocchi a bit and Ken leans over to tell him to stop it.]
(Did something happen?)
Nakai: You're so strange. Why're you in such a bad mood, making that Jumbo Ozaki face...
[Jumbo Ozaki is a pro golfer who, imho, looks like a member of the yakuza. Nakai-kun makes this comment because Inocchi's new haircut really does look the same as Jumbo's hair.]
[Everyone, including Inocchi, starts laughing.]
Inocchi: Stop that~! I really like it. [feeling his hair]
Nakai: Jumbo~! Are there some good scenes in the musical?
Inocchi: There are.
Nakai: Dark ones, at a bar or something.
Inocchi: There are, there are.
Nakai: And when you walk in, all of the customers shout, "JUMBO~!"
Inocchi: [laughing] That never happens.

Nakai: [reading off of paper] ToniSen have gotten into darts.
Inocchi: The three of us often go out together.
(ToniSen have gotten into "darts.")
Taka-san: It's fun, isn't it? You can really get into it, huh?
Nakai: Have you ever invited the younger three? "Hey, wanna go play darts?"
Ken: Never.
Nakai: Why don't you invite them?
Nagano: Even if we invited them, they wouldn't come.
Nakai: So you've never invited them?
Sakamoto: [extremely directly] Never.
Nakai: So, with the six of you, the older members and the younger members don't really talk a lot about private things?
(Lately, V6 are worried because they haven't been really communicating to each other a lot.)
V6: Not really.
Nakai: Well, as you're worried that with all of your individual projects you're not really communicating with each other, let's move on to, "V6's What With That?"
(We'll get rid of V6's worries.)
Nakai: We've written up lots of little dialogues. If you've thought it, "I have", if not, "Have not". [Nakai raises the respective paddles with "I have" and "Have not" written on them.] Otherwise, we can just have free talk. First up is Sakamoto-kun. Ja-jan. [reading off of large card] "When it becomes summer, he always wears tank tops or bowling shirts. Will he do it again this year?"
[If you watch Sakamoto-kun's wardrobe, this really is true. Even when it's not summer, actually...]
Sakamoto: [laughing]
(Decide for yourself! "I have" or "Have not.")
Nakai: "I have", "Have not." "I have", "Have not." Jan-jan-jan-jan-jan~!
[Everyone, including Taka-san, holds up a paddle. Except for Sakamoto and Go, they all hold up "Have not".]
Nakai: I see, everyone's "Have not."
V6: Have not.
Nakai: Why is that?
(Sakamoto-kun, summer is always tank tops and bowling shirts.)
Nagano: Well, he goes to the gym. So, his arms are probably pretty good... [feeling his own arm muscles]
Nakai: Ah, I see, his arms have gotten muscular.
Nagano: And it's easy to show it off in a tank top...
Nakai: Ah, that's also really true.
[At this point, Taka-san and Sakamoto-kun start feeling each other's arms and pecs as the rest of V6 discuss Johnny's stylist and wardrobe with Nakai. It goes on for a while, with the cameras completely ignoring the real conversation and focusing on Taka-san and Sakamoto-kun's bonding.]
Nakai: And so bowling shirts-- [snapping his attention over to Taka-san] Why're you feeling his nipples? Why're you firming them up?
Taka-san: No we were just... talking about the gym.
Nakai: You go to the gym?
Taka-san: Of course!
Okada: Taka-san looks like the type who'd shout real loud.
Taka-san: It's not my voice that comes out, it's my spit. [mimes working out on a weight machine] UWAAA~! UWAAA~! [spit comes flying out of his mouth]
Ken: It came out! It came out! It really came out~! You really spit right then!
[Sakamoto and Inocchi crack up, pointing at Taka-san's spit on the floor.]
Taka-san: That's how much I work. Not until my voice comes out, but my spit.
Okada: But your voice is pretty amazing.
Nagano: You must understand Sakamoto.
Inocchi: Since you go to the gym.
Taka-san: [miming working out] "Fukkai ana"? Yoshida Terumi's "Fukkai ana"?
[This apparently refers to an old Terumi-san show. He had corners where celebrities came on and demonstrated their hobbies or something similar.]
(It was broadcast 18 years earlier.)
Nakai: [to Sakamoto] Will you show us? If you take off your top shirt, we can see it.
[That night, Sakamoto-kun was wearing a tank top with a short sleeved shirt over it.]
Sakamoto: [picking at his short-sleeved shirt] Take off...
Nakai: Just take off the top shirt so we can see. [Sakamoto takes it off.] Wow, you really are in good shape.
[Inocchi and Taka-san start feeling Sakamoto-kun's arms and pecs.]
(The reason why Sakamoto-kun wears tank tops is because he's proud of his good body.)
Taka-san: Ah, his chest is really good, too.
[Pinch.]
Sakamoto: [twisting to one side] Ah~!
Taka-san: His nipples are getting hard~!
Nakai: Alrighty, today his nipples are getting hard.
Sakamoto: [putting his shirt back on] Ah, they're standing up...
Nakai: Do you always wear two shirts...
Inocchi: To mop up the sweat?
Sakamoto: [whacking Inocchi] Don't say that! [laughing]
Nakai: I understand. I always wear a t-shirt under my t-shirt.
[Nakai-kun pulls up his white t-shirt to reveal another white t-shirt underneath, tucked into his pants. He also has two belts on, too... Everyone begins laughing at him hysterically.]
(Nakai-kun's trouble with t-shirts.)
Nakai: I've always hated not tucking something in. No matter what it is, it has to be in IN. Even pajamas, IN. Okay, let's go the next one... For Morita-kun~! [reading off of a large card] "When he changes his cell phone number, he definitely thinks to himself, 'When I change my number, my friends will change, too' and erases the whole memory."
Go: [nodding]
(Morita-kun "When I change my cell phone, I erase the whole memory.")
Nakai: How is that, Morita-kun? In other words, do you reset everything?
Go: Yes, I erase everything. Everyone.
Taka-san: Don't they have those things that will transfer everything for you?
Go: I don't quite get that. No way, no way, no way.
Nagano: Why is that?
Go: I don't do that.
Nakai: I don't understand you...
Go: No, no, no, no way.
Nakai: So when you get a new phone, you also change your number, right?
Go: Right.
Nakai: And so if you don't call me and I can't call you then you really close yourself off.
Go: Yes. I really close myself out.
Nakai: From male friends and female friends and everyone. So is this "I have" or "Have not"? Go ahead.
[Everyone but Ken holds up "Have not".]
Nakai: Everyone's "Have not" aren't they. Morita, but if someone's really cool, do you not erase them?
(The reason why Morita resets.)
Go: No. When I buy a new cell phone, it's times when I really want to change how I feel...
Nakai: Ah, that's kinda scary, you just never know when Morita's gonna want to change himself...
Go: But with Nakai and the rest of you guys, even if I don't call you, we'll get together eventually.
Nakai: So let's go on. Next is for Inocchi. [reading off of large card] "For Morita's birthday, he said 'These are shoes that I really loved in high school' and gave him sneakers, but the size was wrong and they were dirty... It was meaningless."
Inocchi: [looking highly insulted] No way. [turning to Go] You were happy.
(Didn't understand why Inohara-kun gave him old, used shoes for his birthday...)
Go: He said, "I wore these shoes in high school" and gave them to me, but... Well, say it's from your admired senpai-- [turning to Inocchi] Well he was my senpai...
[Senpai is a Japanese term that refers to someone who is of senior status to you. In Go's instance, Inocchi joined Johnny's before he did, so Inocchi was Go's senpai... until they became colleagues, at least.]
[Inocchi looks, for lack of a better word, flummoxed.]
(ONCE his senpai.)
Go: Say it's from your admired senpai, to get it from him...
Nakai: Something that they really treasured, you'd want it, and you'd be happy to get it.
Go: What is it... Even getting it from HIM...
Ken: I know what you mean.
[Inocchi looks somewhat insulted.]
Nakai: Of course, if you get it from Jumbo, you're not so sure.
Go: Even though they were big and dirty...
Nakai: It says, "It was meaningless," but you really don't understand, do you. Right, so "I have" or "Have not"?
[Everyone raises "I have".]
Nakai: Ah, Ken-kun, you have?
Inocchi: Well, all of us have recieved something from our senpais. I've even gotten something from Nakai-kun.
(What did Inohara-kun get from Nakai-senpai...?)
Nakai: Ah, you don't have to talk about that.
Inocchi: Like sweats and a hat...
Nakai: What did you do with it?
Inocchi: Well, I've been looking for an opportunity to wear it...
Nakai: Well, since it's your senpai's, you feel like it's hard to put it on and wear it... So what did you do?
Inocchi: Well, I have the neon yellow sweatshirt... and matching pants... and hat, so I've made a neon yellow outfit.
Nakai: Oh~! Yellow yellow yellow~!
(How to wear the neon yellow outfit.)
Nakai: So what did you do when you got it?
Inocchi: Well, let's see. [looking sheepish] I never got a chance to wear it, so I didn't know what to do with it. I didn't throw it out it out, but I didn't wear it.
Nakai: That's a completely different story~! [standing up and pointing] THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU STARTED SAYING~! YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW I GAVE IT TO YOU~!!
Inocchi: But it's really tacky.
Okada: I got something from Nakai-kun, too.
(Okada-kun's present from Nakai.)
Nakai: Tell them for me.
Okada: Do you remember?
Nakai: I remember. Tell them.
Okada: Sunvisor.
[Everyone laughs.]
Okada: The color was...
Nakai: Tell them, the color.
Okada: ...neon.
[Everyone laughs harder.]
Okada: He gave me about seven of them.
[Everyone cracks up.]
Nagano: He gave you that many?
Okada: Only sunvisors.
(The end of the struggling sunvisors...)
Nakai: So, what happened? What are you doing with them now?
Okada: They're in the dorm where I used to live.
Nakai: [shocked] The dorm where you used to live?
Okada: I bundled them together...
Nakai: Bundled? You left them behind!?
Ken: They got a new start.
(They have passed on, the sunvisors and the neon yellow outfit.)
Okada: But I don't really wear neon.
Nakai: That's horrible!
Inocchi: That's not it, but neon's really hard to work with.
Nakai: Fine, geez, let's go on... For Nagano-kun. [reading off of large card] "When you ask for 'good restaurants', he always only says restaurants that are in Shizuoka or Nagano area."
(The restaurants Nagano-kun recommends are always just in another region.)
Ken: It's true, it's amazing. He's always got one of those big business card cases, and it's full of business cards from restaurants. [like dealing cards] "Where do you want to go? Where should we go?"
Nakai: But in a group, that's really good to have. Okay, so "I have" or "Have not"?
[Eveyone holds up "Have not".]
Nakai: But it really would be nice to recommend a restaurant closer.
Nagano: It's close! Like Shizuoka, if you take a rapid train, it's only an hour and a half!
Taka-san: Are there no good soba places in Tokyo?
Nagano: There are.
Taka-san: Then recommend them!
Go: He doesn't tell us about them.
(Why doesn't he recommend them?)
Nagano: [pouting] Fine, I'll tell you about them. [looking a bit ticked] I'll tell you about them.
Nakai: Tell us about good places in Shibuya, Harajuku.
[These are both hip, young areas of Tokyo.]
Nagano: [sharply] Fine, I'll give you the information.
Taka-san: [laughing] I can't believe HE'S getting upset with US for this.
[Even Nagano laughs a little before pulling himself together seriously.]
(V6 is kinda easily angered today.)
Nagano: I'll tell you about places with good salted tongue or gal-bi beef.
Taka-san: What about a really good food in the east?
Nagano: In the east...
Nakai: What about really good food from the plains?
Nagano: On the plains...
Go: He looks like he's gonna cry.
[Everyone starts laughing.]
Ken: He's like a little kid who's getting teased.
Nakai: Are there any good places in the plains?
Nagano: [pouting] There are good places there. I'll tell you about them later.
Nakai: For Miyake-kun. [reading off of large card] "He's way too picky about his health and separating his trash."
(Miyake-kun is really picky about separating his trash.)
Ken: That's... pretty true.
Nakai: Separating it? What do you do?
Ken: Like, with plastic bottles. I take off the label and throw it away, and I take off the plastic ring on the top...
Nakai: You have to do that?
Ken: Yeah, you have to do it. What're you doing? You shouldn't do that.
(Everyone, are you ecologically minded?)
Nakai: Do you all do it?
[Ken and ToniSen nod at Nakai.]
Inocchi: I do it...
Nagano: If you don't, they can't recycle it...
Nakai: [to Go] You don't do it?
[Go shakes his head "no".]
Nakai: [to Okada] You don't do it?
Okada: I don't...
Nakai: You're just like me. We don't do it.
(Let's all do it and save the earth~!)
Go: Is that right... I didn't know.
Nakai: I didn't know.
Ken: What else... I can't forgive people littering.
(Miyake-kun won't forgive throwing out cigarettes.)
Nakai: What kind of things?
Ken: Like cigarettes. I usually watch out for that. I'll say, "Hey, don't just leave that there."
Taka-san: He lives looking out for the world.
Nakai: Aren't you going to come talk about that on this year's "24 Hour TV"?
[Many of the major networks seem to have a program where, once a year, they have twenty-four hours of marathon programming.]
Taka-san: He goes out somewhere and picks up cigarettes for the whole 24 hours. "I have to hurry to get to the hall~!"
Nakai: You should come and talk about that for us. And now, finally, let's move on to the darts~! The game is "Electric Biribiri Darts"~!
["Biribiri" would the the sound effect of someone getting shocked.]
[Nakai stands in front of a dart board. The six V6 members are lined up with bands on their arms. Taka-san stands to one side in front of a small electric panel.]
Nakai: This is how it's played. If you hit the "bull's eye" in the center, all members win the prize. But if you hit the member's name, then they get shocked on their arms.
[The dart board has the bull's eye in the center. The rest of the dart board is divided into 12 alternating wedges. Six have a single member's name on it. The other six have "Everyone" written on it.]
Nakai: It's supposed to be good for your body.
Inocchi: Good?
Nakai: Good. It's supposed to be good for your body. [to Taka-san] And why don't you introduce yourself?
Taka-san: I'm working with electrical things at TBS.
Nakai: And your name is?
Taka-san: Tei Chuuhai.
[The name is written out teishuuha, which means "low frequency".]
[Everyone laughs.]
Nakai: Okay, let's get started!
Taka-san: I'm from Hong Kong.
Nakai: The prizes are here!
[The prizes are of the highest quality: rice, sake, water, crab, pork, and melon.]
(Not knowing what's about to happen, all of V6 is truly happy.)
Nakai: So, Miyake-kun, what will you go for?
Ken: "Kokoro o komete Moriizou."
[This is the saying on the front of the Moriizou sake, which translates to "With all one's heart, Moriizou."]
[All of V6 cheers him on and start talking about the sake.]
Nakai: Go ahead, Miyake-kun!
[Ken grabs a dart.]
Inocchi: Ah, scary!
Nagano: Really scary!
Nakai: Are you good at darts?
Ken: I'm fine. Here I go~!
[The dart heads straight for "Nagano". Nagano starts writhing while shocked.]
Ken: [laughing hysterically]
(Even though it's his fault, assailent Miyake laughs hysterically.)
[pointing to Nagano] (Victim.)
[Everyone watches as Nagano writhes as his arms get shocked. It finally stops.]
V6: SCARY~!
Nakai: Too bad. If it was just a little bit closer to the center you'd have hit it...
Ken: So true...
Nakai: Next, Okada-kun! What will you choose?
Okada: I'll go for the melon. [picking a dart]
Nakai: Of course, Okada-kun, aim for here. [pointing to the bull's eye]
Okada: Right, I'm aiming.
Nakai: Have you ever played darts before?
Okada: Never.
Nakai: Okay, go ahead.
[The dart heads straight for "Nagano".]
Nagano: YOU IDIOT!
[Nagano is shocked again.]
(Nagano-kun is a victim again.)
[Everyone laughs as poor Nagano writhes again. It finally stops.]
Nakai: Oh, so close~!
Okada: [to Nagano] Sorry~!
Nakai: Okay, let's go on.
Nagano: That really hurts~! Ow~!
Nakai: So, Go, what'll you do?
Go: I'll go for the meat.
Nakai: The meat. A really high quality meat. Have you ever played darts before?
Go: [aiming the dart] Never.
Nakai: Never. Go ahead.
[The dart lands somewhere in the divider between "Everyone" and "Go", a little more towards "Everyone". The members of V6 suddenly jump as they all get shocked at once.]
(Eveyone in V6 writhing in pain.)
Go: OW OW OW OW OW~!
[Ken and Go jump around in circles and Sakamoto eventually curls into a little ball, as Inocchi and Nagano yell at Taka-san to stop. He finally does.]
Nakai: [brightly] That was amazing, everyone was "biribiribiribiri"...
Nagano: I've kinda gotten used to it the third time around. It started to feel good~!
Nakai: Next, Inocchi. You should try to get it in the center. So, Inocchi, what are you playing for?
Inocchi: The Moriizou. [picking up a dart]
Nakai: Moriizou, that's popular, isn't it. Now everyone, don't aim for "Nagano".
(Right now, Nagano-kun's gotten three times in a row.)
Nakai: And you have experience, don't you. Go ahead.
[The dart misses the board completely, instead hitting the border which has "Utaban" printed on it.]
Nakai: This is "Utaban", so that's everyone.
[Everyone in V6 starts writhing again as they're shocked. After a while, the buzzing finally stops.]
Sakamoto: [laughing and holding his nose] My nose... my nose...
Inocchi: It got stronger sometime in the middle. [glaring at Taka-san]
Taka-san: I got the orders from upstairs.
Nakai: Don't do that, they're celebrities. You might not know V6, but... Next, Nagano. What do you want?
Nagano: [holding a dart] Well, for me, I don't really care but... [inspecting the prizes] the rice!
[Everyone laughs a bit at Nagano's choice.]
Nakai: The rice. You have experience?
Nagano: I do!
Nakai: You have confidence?
Nagano: I do!
Nakai: So, let's go. Nagano-kun, go ahead!
[The dart lands smack dab in the border directly between the bull's eye and "Everyone". All of V6 suddenly writhes as they're shocked again. V6 complains loudly until it stops.]
V6: Didn't we get it?
(This is the frame, so it doesn't count.)
Nakai: One more try, one more try. Not here, you need to get in the center. The green line...
Nagano: If I get one more, then there was no reason to shock us~!
Nakai: [pointing to Taka-san] He doesn't know that.
Nagano: He knows!
Nakai: [to Taka-san] Do your job!
Taka-san: I got the orders from upstairs!
Nakai: You were really close to center. Ready to go again?
Nagano: Ready to go.
[The dart heads directly for "Everyone". V6 writhes around, some members curling onto the floor. The shocking finally stops. Everyone gathers around Sakamoto, still pulling himself up from where he was curled on the floor.]
Inocchi: [crouched over Sakamoto] Look at this. Just a little longer...
Nagano: [looking down] Are you okay?
Sakamoto: [sitting up] Actually, my throat is really dry.
Nakai: Okay up last, Sakamoto-kun, please decide. For the last one, if you get it, we'll give you everything. We'll give you everything. If Sakamoto-kun gets it.
Sakamoto: [grabbing a dart] I'm still shaking...
Nakai: You have experience with darts, don't you?
Sakamoto: I do, I do. [practicing his throw]
(They can hope for Sakamoto-kun.)
Nakai: You have experience. Oh, looks good, looks good! The last one, Sakamoto-kun, go ahead!
[Sakamoto lines up his dart... and is suddenly shocked.]
Sakamoto: Ah~!
(Hold on, TEI-san, you're too fast!)
[V6 rushes to Sakamoto's assistance, jamming on the buttons on Taka-san's electrical board.]
Nakai: [walking over to Taka-san] Okay, that was wrong, just now. He throws it, listen to me, okay? He thr-ows-it, Sakamoto-kun throws it, if he misses, then you push something. Don't push anything before he throws it.
Taka-san: Just now, the people upstairs told me, "Go!"....
Nakai: That's not it. [walking back into position by the dark board] Sakamoto-kun started going "Ee-ee-ee". It's the first time I've every seen that kind of movement.
(TEI-san, this time, please do it right!!)
Nakai: He might die.
Taka-san: Okay, this time I'll do it right.
Nakai: Let's move on. Go ahead!

(Thank you for waiting such a long time. Sakamoto-kun's fated last throw.)
[The dart flies directly for "Everyone." The members starts writhing again.]
Nakai: Well, everyone in V6, it's time to introduce your song.
Nagano: No way~!
(We understand you're in pain, but your song...)
Nakai: Introduce your song, introduce your song!
[As the rest of V6 gathers in the middle of the set, Sakamoto curls up by himself.]
(Sakamoto-kun's no use.)
Nakai: Okay, ready go!
[V6 jumps around while being shocked and, not in unison at all, vaguely murmurs a mush that's perhaps "Feel Your Breeze". Ken, the loudest, actually covers for all of them with somethat that sounded like "Fee-yu-bruuu".]
[After the song V6 continues to writhe around as Nakai-kun finishes the show. Sakamoto continues to curl up in the middle of the floor by himself as Nakai-kun makes the rest wave "bye-bye" to the cameras.]
