Eri's 4 word idiom - 則天去私 sokutenkyoshi - selfless devotion to justice

GAKI▪KAME desu ~
K : Gakisan, its going to be the graduating season
G : Yeah
K : Although its a painful period, since its a graduating season, I'd want to graduate from being late.
G : Really?
K : Yeah, i mean it.
G : You're often late?
K : I'm often late.
G : Eh?! You're often late? Kame?
K : Like sometimes I make it just in time for work, I overslept and such. I thought it wasn't a good habit even though i still make it in time. Like slipping in and safe, like safety (My phrasing sucks, but apparently Eri was making a pose, but since its a radioshow..)
G : No one will be able to see that pose
K : I thought I should be punctual when go out to play.. (Meaning in private anyway.)
G : I second that. Sayumin had been waiting for you for like how many times.
[Cont. talk about Eri's aims, Gakisan says that everytime they talk about Eri's aims to change Eri would talk a lot but Gakisan thinks that Eri should seriously try to change (her bad habits)]
K : Gakisan, I think that you should graduate from something too.
G : What?
K : Gakisan unlike me, should graduate from being too early.
G : Too early ain't I? Even the manager is also worried about that, the manager even said "Niigaki, don't be so early tomorrow" (Lol, it didn't sound so blunt actually)
[Cont. talk about Gakisan being too early for everything.]

Letter
Question : Is there anything that you did that you think is good?
Eri said she does things quickly.
While Gakisan offers seats to the senior citizens. When they accept her seats with a "Thank you", some actually replied saying that its okay. And instead of feeling helpful, Gakisan felt that she was rude to the person.(As in she treated the people like as if they're really very old)

Morning Musume - Mikan

Personality Test
G : Gaki-san, Kame-chan, good evening. I have a cat.. (The sender used wagahai for "I" in Japanese. wagahai is an archaism)
[silence]
K : erm..erm..erm..
G : *laughs*

1. Please hold both of your hands together (As in lock your fingers)
2. Which thumb is at the bottom? Is it your right, or is it your left?

K : My left hand
G : Mine too.
K : Whats this about.. Its interesting.. (Yes, compared to just giving the girls choices to choose ._.)

1. Please fold your arms.
2. Which arm is at the bottom? Is it your right, or is it your left?

GAKIKAME had a little of confusion here, cos' its seems like they are sitting opposite one another.
G : Right arm
K : Left arm
[While Gakisan writes down their results Eri starts to be random and said "rirahi", left -> hirari]
G : Kame drew "kame" on my script (kame - turtle, just in case someone don't know, lol)
K : *hehehe*
G : She drew six of them,
K : I'm great ~
G : and at the first glance no one will even know that it a kame.
K : Cos' theres no face
G : It looks like some melon pan (bread)
K : Thats evil!

This is a left-right brain test, it also tells you something about your personality from it.
(I'll skip the results, sorry. But its just like any other left-right brain tests you see in your email inbox)
Gakisan's result was accurate.
Meanwhile..

G : ... blah blah blah ... ... leader type (When reading eri's results)
K : *laughs*
G : This gotta be a joke!
K : But its just holding and folding of hands! It'll be accurate for me for sure! (As in usually during personality tests, Eri thinks too much into it causing it to be not accurate, but this time round its just a natural habit, she don't have to think.)
G : I can't believe this!
[Gakisan continues to be amazed (or shocked?) by the results]

Hirari Ken - Canvas

Consultation Corner
Letter 1 : The sender wants to learn boxing but his parents was against it. How can he get his parents consent?
K : I wonder what was the reason for his parents to object it.
G : Since its boxing it'll involve some fighting with other people, parents will be worried about their children
K : Oh.. there'll be cases where he might get injured..but he wants learn boxing..
G :Yeah..He said he wants to learn it..So, what should he do?
K : Hmm..
G : Probably a guy isn't it? (As in the sender. GAKIKAME usually don't know the sender is a male or a female) Since we're females.. we probably wouldn't even think of trying it out (boxing)
K : If he really wants to try it i think he should tries and convey his feelings (to his parents)
G : Like telling his parents why he wanna try it..and if he manages to get his parents consent he can just try it out for some time.. But if his parents worry about him (during the period that he starts learning it) He should quit learning boxing in order to not make his parents worry. (Some good advice from GAKIKAME in this episode)

Letter 2 : The sender had been doing a certain sport since elementary but there weren't really good results (for competitions). Should he continue to persevere even though he don't have the talent? (I skipped quite a few parts here.) He adds on asking if something like that happened to GAKIKAME before.

K : I see..
G : I think he should persevere since he has been doing that sport since elementary school.
K : Yeah!
G : I wonder what competition it was..
[Eri went random again and said Basketball, rugby..]
GAKIKAME's advice was to cont. persevere, and when he wins something the sort of feeling will be great. Adding on saying that if he happens to win please send in a letter to GAKIKAME again informing them of it.
[As Gakisan was giving her advice, ~ 22:55, Eri kept interupting "sou da!" "sou da!"]
G : Kame, are you okay?

Moving on to the song selection (The song was already chosen before this actually, in fact its probably written on their scripts)
G : What song should i choose? Should i go with this?
K : yeah.
G : This song was sang by Takahashi Ai, Niigaki Risa, Tanaka Reina and Pokepokepoo, Kamei Eri! (on Bkbkb concert)
K : Its not written (on the script)! (She was referring to "pokepokepoo")

Takahashi Ai, Niigaki Risa, Fujimoto Miki, Tanaka Reina - Shanimuni Paradise

Letter from listener
Listener asking if GAKIKAME have anything that is essential item to them.
G : You look like a pounded fish cake *laughs*
K : Why? That has no link with the letter!
G : You look soft/flabby (I don't know which word to use. But that reminds me, Reina described Eri as "soft" too in the chinese book)
G : Pounded fish cakes are an essential. You can't miss that out.
K : I love pounded fish cakes ~ I love eggs too ~
G : Eggs are an essential too. I wonder what else..
K : I love orange juice a lot. When i eat Yakiniku its a must to have orange juice
G : Thats the first time i heard that
K : When you drink it just normally its delicious, but when you drink it while eating Yakiniku (Btw, yakiniku - grilled beef if anyone don't know.) its extraordinary.
G : Really? But yes, Eri has the image of saying I wanna drink orange juice despite where she is.
K : (Drinking it) After a live its super delicious!
G : Ah, you really drink 100% (orange juice) don't you!
K : Yep! 100% ones are tasty.
[Gakisan eats livers (when she goes for yakuniku) and when Gakisan eats ramen with soft boiled eggs. Eri don't like to eat ramen or udon with soft boiled eggs cos' the eggs will change the taste of the ramen/udon. But she don't mind it on Ceasar Salads.]
