G : Good evening! This is Niigaki Risa from Morning Musume!
K : I'm Kamei Eri who wants to "dokuritsuDOPPPO" (rely on myself) for the concert tour!
[Four word idiom : 独立独歩 dokuritsudoppo - Self-reliance]
G : Good isn't it? Even though you said "dokuritsuDOPPO"
[Note : Eri's intonation was a little off]
K : Don't you feel like "dokuritsuDOPPO" (Relying on yourself)
G : You are still emphasing on the "dokuritsuDOPPO" "DOPPO" eh? Look! They are telling you its "doppo". (The correct intonation)
K : I'm angry at myself for not being able to say it properly
G : Angry ~ (Repeating what Eri said). So what does it mean?
K : It means to not rely on Gakisan and believe in myself to be able to handle things!
G : You shouldn't be just saying "dokuritsuDOPPO" you should really carry it out!
*laughs*
K : So i shall not trouble Gakisan anymore from now on even though she might be sad about that
G : I wouldn't even be sad about it! In fact I'll be thankful for that!
K : Why? You'll be lonely without me! But if i rely on too much on Gakisan i won't be able to go on by myself without her.
G : Yup. Its not a good thing to be relying on others!
K : Not a good thing? *laughs*
G : So, goodbye ~ (Goodbye as in for Eri's reliance on Gakisan)
GAKI*KAME desu ~
K : Today..um..Gakisan..
G : Yes? You're going to start from there again?
*laughs*
K : Ever since last week's April Fool story Gakisan has been making a lot of April Fool stories so I can't discuss about any other stories already (?)
G : Sorry for that!
K : Gakisan, is there anything that is a essential to bring along during concert tours?
G : An essential item to bring along?
K : Not referring to make-up sets and such though. Is there anything other then make-up sets and such?
G : For me..If theres like a survey form, then I'll bring along the survey form along to fill it up. And something thats for myself..I'll bring along some cup soups..Like when its a cold weather I'll eat it.
K : I understand. Its delicious right?
G : Yup. Cos' since its long (concert tours) but its a different case for Fanclub Tours though. What about you?
K : My spectacles.
G : Your spectacles?
K : Yeah. There was one time I didn't bring my spectacles along and I wasn't able to see clearly while I in my hotel room. With my spectacles I'll be able to say "Goodnight!" to Gakisan even if shes some distance away from me.
G : Its not like as if I wanna be told that though. But aren't contact lens good enough?
K : Its not okay!
G : There was once Kame came to my house for a sleepover and she forgot to bring along her contact lens. Although contact lens is an important thing she still forgets to bring it. So Eri was like "Sorry for the trouble" when my mother and me had to accompany her to the convenience store to get a pair of contact lens for her. After getting it she said "Ah, this is good (to have her contact lens on)" and I was like "Its only good for you! (Gakisan's mama and Gakisan had to go to the trouble to get the lens with Eri)"
K : Thats b'cos it was a one-day contact lens (daily contacts)! I wouldn't be able to use it the next day!
[For those who don't get it. It seems like Eri wore her contact lens to Gakisan's house but since she is wearing daily contact lens, the second day it can't be used due to the dryness. And Eri did not bring an extra pair despite knowing that]
G : You know that yourself! And since I have good eyesight I wouldn't really understand your problem (The need for spectacles)
K : Thats because the name Niigaki is like 2.0 (2 is "ni" in Japanese, and 2.0 is a good eyesight level) and..
G : *cuts in* We will be waiting for your consultation mails at blah blah blah, blah blah blah
[Gakisan was ignoring Eri cos' Eri was about to turn random again and say that Gakisan has good eyesight cos' of her name]
Letter : Are GAKIKAME's mothers funny people?
G : Yeah, my mama and Kame mama are!
K : Why are mothers' characters so strong? They are really noisy aren't they! Like my mother after she went for our concerts shes really noisy
G : YES YES! And during live concerts I'm able to see the people on the second floor seats (As mentioned, Gakisan has good eyesight, shes probably one of the few musumes who are able to do this) and when i saw my mama on the second floor she was holding onto a pair of binoculars looking through it!
*laughs*
K : Its not the fans? Its your mother?
G : And my mother will go like "You didn't wave at me" and such
K : Yes yes! They say that!
G : She'll be like why can't you wave to your own mother? *laughs*
K : Yes YES!
G : Ah, just yesterday, i thought of having some interesting conversations with my mama, so we actually talk about things like my mama is a witch
K : A witch?
G : She looks like she herself think that shes a witch too
K : You all meant her past life or what?
G : We were referring to her present life. Its weird isn't it?
K : Yes
G : Even if it was her past life it'll be weird too. I didn't believe her at the start and she started saying "Isn't there even a occassion that made you feel like i'm a witch?" *laughs*
K : YES! They say that! My mother says that too!
G : Kame met my mama before and she changed into a different person. She'll then start saying things like "At that certain part of the dance you shouldn't do this"
K : Yes they say that!
G : Its like "I don't wanna be told that!"
K : Yes yes! My mother says that too.
G : When Kame and her mother talks together they sound like they are talking to someone of the same age.
K : Yeah, my mental age will rise a little. And in fact we'll sometimes argue with one another!
G : Yeah but I don't really see people arguing with Kame usually though
K : Argue is a firece word to use *laughs* But seriously, my mother's mental age is a little lower sometimes. So usually..we often go out together, the four of us (GAKIKAME and their mothers) and they are like my friends instead of mothers.
G : They even say things like "Next time you have to invite me on GAKIKAME radioshows as a guest"
K : Yah!
G : And its like "I won't want to do that! (inviting their parents onto the radioshow)"

GLAY - Starless Night
(Sender's radioname : Pinku no Kachuusha-san]
Consultation Corner Letter One : I'm of the same age as GAKIKAME but I'm often told that my mental age is low. Just like Kame-chan *laughs* I'll turn 20 in 3months time so I'd like to become more matured but what should I start off with?
G : I bet Kame isn't able to answer to this letter ~
K : I can! Since i'm more-senior then him/her in life
G : Senior? We're of the same age mind you! Please listen to what I s~ay It said "I'll turn 20 in 3months time" (Gakisan was just repeating the letter for Eri)
[Gakisan's pronounciation at "Please listen to what I say" was a little off]
K : Oh! I see i see. "Please listen to what I s~ay" eh? *laughs*
G : One can start off by reading news daily to gain some knowledge.. or like reading books one will be able to learn some Kanjis. One can start off by doing something daily to mature their mental age
K : Yup
G : So, one will have to make some effort to change
K : Yeah, effort is an important thing
G : Like for Kame, she should stop sleeping so much during her freetime
K : Thats the last thing I'll ever stop doing
G : Or like her letting people think for her those four word idioms. Cos' this way one can never grow up.
K : Why are you talking about all my habits?! Why me!
G : Whats with that side-to-side movement? *laughs*
[It seems like Eri was fidgeting in the studio]
K : Why must you talk about my habits!
G : You look suspicious, Kame.
K : The main point is...all that Gakisan say. The end!
*laughs*
G : But, Kame is just Kame, even though shes turning 20 in December. So Pinku no Kachuusha-san, i think its okay for you to be just you. We shouldn't force something to change.
K : And also, when being said that your mental age is lower then your age its more like they're saying you're young at heart?
G : Something like that..
K : So isn't it good? Its better for a woman to be seen as young.
G : But also if you're more mature in your mental age is good too.
K : Hm..Yeah.. but it depends on the situation
G : Whats with that pose? *laughs* But anyway, Pinku no Kachuusha-san, I think one shouldn't force themselves to do certain things, so I think its okay to be just yourself. And as for Kame, you should try and mature. Got it?
K : Okay!
G : Forgotten it. (Gakisan meant that the moment Eri said okay she forgot about it already)
K : Hehehe..
Consultation Corner Letter Two : I will enter an university in April and in my undergraduate course 90% of the class are girls. I'm looking forward to it but i have uneasiness about it too. Please give me some advice on how to get along with girls.
K : 90% is seriously a lot of girls in one class. Don't he feel like running away from the class?
G : Run away? *laughs*
K : Theres 90% of girls you know!
G : He is just about to enter a university. How can he run away ~
K : Ah..I see.. he can't run away then..
G : Please give some good consultations since this is a corner whereby we have to give some good advices.
K : Yeah this corner started ever since long time ago.
G : Yes. Seriously, you look like you don't understand anything about this corner.
K : Thats because nothing about this corner is written on my script (Lol, it seriously makes me wonder how many pages of difference does Eri's script has compared to Gakisan's)
G : That has no connection to giving advices. Try to give some good advices, Kame. I gave mine earlier on during the first letter.
K : We gave the advices together for the first letter wasn't it!
G : You gotta be kidding! You just said "Yes, like this" and such! *laugh*
K : Okay okay..and so since he can't run away..then he shall not try and run away ~
G : Why are you saying that? It wasn't the sender who started saying that he wanna run away.

Gakisan's selection : Niigaki Risa, Kamei Eri, Tanaka Reina - Indigo Blue Love
Letter : Sender asks if GAKIKAME talks in their sleep.
G : That happens often to Kame isn't it?
K : Yeah..it happened a lot of times
G : Any funny stories about it?
K : I was sleeping on a double bunk with my family. I suddenly stood up. They (her family members) said that i stood in front of my father and my brother noticed and asked "Eri, what are you doing?" and since I was half awake i just replied "I'm standing in front of dad".
G : Eh? Thats scary!
K : And since i actually sleeptalking my brother asked "What did you say?" and he said i actually replied saying "Stop bullshitting with me!" (Note : I did not exaggerate the expression, Eri herself said it as a vulgar expression) So when i sleep i usually need someone to look after me
G : Look after you?
K : Yes, seriously.
G : Ah..the sleeptalk conversations are funny. For me i have some occassions whereby i talked in my sleep too. Like once i fell asleep when watching the television in the living room with the remote control in my hands. So my papa was actually looking for the remote control. He saw it in my hands so he took it and he said that i said "Don't take my remote, got it?" then my papa replied "Got it." Then later on he told me that I told him that but i didn't realise that i said that!
K : Funny isn't it! Its like, it wasn't me who said that!
G : Yeah. I'm interested in listening to Eri's sleeptalking actually. I wonder how it'd be like. It'll be like what should i do if you suddenly wake up and say "Gakisan %$@$#@", i wouldn't want that to happen though.
*laughs*
K : But when you're sleeping you don't know anything
