Yesterday was amazing. Thanks 夕葉, surprise did feel nice. love you love you love you!
So, I was turning 22 yesterday.
I was ridiculously keep on complaining at how Sho is in Australia in my birthday.
And last night, I had this weird weird dream about Matsujun. I went to some place with him and there were a lot of girls and Jun would tell me the type of girls admitted to talk to him and he'll send me to fetch one of the girl, and I would went to the crowd and actually pointing at people "this one? this one?" and Jun would say "left one, left one." and I'll just take the girl's hand and lead her to Jun like some kind of sacrifice.
ah, what am I babling about?
anyway, about Utaban. Nakai+Taka-san+Arashi= the best. maybe second after Arashi+Omiya SK.
They start to talk about Nino and Berlin and of course Nino would say about how popular Arashi in Paris, and Nakai just have to ask about Ohno's opinion and
"It's still better than Nakai's popularity in Fujisawa."
It must've been Taka-san. only Taka-san can come up with something that funny.
Then they talk about Dome and how people are so many that even when the audience see the big monitor, it'll still small. Of course Nakai have to ask Ohno again.
"Nakai is small so wherever you go you'll still be small."
We can see Ohno can't stop laughing when Taka-san told him the idea, because, just like what Nakai shouted afterwards
"Don't you say that! You're small too! I even bigger than you!"
LOL.
Then Nino told a story of how he and Taichi eat out together and they want to ask Nakai to join so they called him but it's voice mail so Taichi left a very polite message (using polite words) but there's no reply whatsoever.
After that, it's the corner about Arashi talk about other member.
When I got a call from Aiba, my heart goes 'thump' (they call it dokitto suru in Japanese)
by Matsumoto
They rarely call each other, usually it's just text message because each week, they're going to meet anyway for Shukudai kun or Mago2, so there's no point in calling. but seldom, they would call each other for work, and the time Aiba called, Jun is so surprised seeing 'aiba masaki' in his phone caller ID. then they talk about 30 minutes because no one knows how to end the conversation and just continue talking.
Nakai pointed out if it's a girl, it might be love if you talk to someone for more than 30 minutes.
In Sho's case when he called Nino, he'll be anxious too and write down what he wants to say in a paper before he call.
Nakai pointed out it might be love too since you carefully planned what you wanna say.
Sho looked dreamy and said "Is it...love?" while staring at Nino.
Realizing nobody talked bout captain, Nakai asked about it, then captain said he never answer his phone. Jun said once he called twice (or 3 times?) and no answer. Oh-chan actually know it's Jun, he simply not in the mood to answer.
Then Nino said once captain called him at 1 o'clock at night so he hastily answer because he worried something happened and with a very drunk voice captain said "Nino-chan aishiteruyo~" and even gave the phone to his friend who is Nino's fan.
"Next time I'll call Nakai-chan!"
Nakai was mad because noone called him like that unless the elites of Fuji TV.
Nino, bring your wallet! there's a limit even in kechi (I totally forgot what is it in English, everyone understand right?)
by Sakurai
Right after the meeting for this episode, Nino knows that he'll be called kechi, so he made a new habit of taking his wallet (with the chain attached)
Nino said it's because when they eat together, they'll end up do warikan (where you split the total amount to the number of people) and he felt it's not fair because he always eat the lest and thus should pay cheaper.
Nakai : why are you strict about that thing (money)?
Nino : well, everyone (the other 4) has a lot of money... (honey, maybe Jun is the only one that made more than you..)
Oh, I only remember this. I have to see it again to remember the rest.
belated happy birthday!

You're welcome of course!!! I'm so happy that you had a good birthday <3 It was めちゃ fun anyway, as always!!
I am going to watch the utaban again later..! I want to make a screencap of Leader peeking over the top of Taka's shoulder. Oh, and also - in England we say something different than most people about "kechi". We say "stingy" (pronounced スティンジー like stinji). Like, "Oh that guy is so stingy" means the same as 「あぁ、あの男は本当にけちと言われてるよ」. I'm just not sure if that's just England though.. I think everywhere has their own word for it though!

Is Ohno (and Arashi) the only one who gets to make Nakai mad and call him endearments like "-chan"? And Nino too just said "Gambatte Nakai" that time and gets away with it. Nakai loves them so much that he doesn't overly scold them for such "disrespect".
Ah! Taka-san when he's protecting Ohno is so adorable and Ohno looking over his shoulder at Nakai and saying "Nakai-chan" again - such an evil, cheeky look.
Nino = Stingy, bakhil, kedekut LOL but it's true what he said - he doesn't eat nor drink much. He's actually heck care about food but I noticed he's more than willing to help drive someone around like Yoko. They should make it "YOU drive, we pay for food" agreement.

Thanks for the summary! I find it so hilarious that LITTLE Ohno was calling Nakai small. But then, I find everything ohno+nakai hilarious.
