Wednesday, December 31, 2008


G : Good evening! I'm Niigaki Risa from Morning Musume!
K : I'm Kamei Eri who feels that GAKIKAME is 無始無終 mushimushuu!
G : What does that mean?
K : 無始無終 means everlastingness!
G : Thats a good thing isn't it..
K : Oh?
G : Whats wrong?
K : Eh? Eh? Isn't GAKIKAME going to end?
G : *laughs* Its going to end. And its ending today.
K : There wasn't even a hint to tell us that its going to end?
G : Although its going to end but GAKIKAME will continue living in our hearts (kokoro)..
K : Ha-to (heart)!
[No meaning to that, Eri was just wanted to say heart in English]

GAKI*KAME desu ~

K : *cries*
G : This is our final episode, lets do our best together alright? Its our last so lets have as much fun as possible
K : Okay! And following the tradition, Gakisan! The fall tour started today!
[For those who don't understand, if you listen to GAKIKAME's past episodes, you'll realise that it became a 'tradition' for Eri to start off saying "Gakisan! Blah blah blah"]
G : Yup! It started!
K : We don't really wanna forget about our first day's nervousness isn't it?
G : Yup!
K : So you still remember your first concert tour's nervousness? You probably won't forget it right?
G : Where was my first concert tour again? Was it at Yagai?
K : Your first concert tour was at Yagai?
G : I think so..but anyway, I was so nervous that my legs were shaking and i was feeling uneasy about being on stage with the rest of Morning Musume about our positions. Like where should we stand, or things like we should leave the stage on the left or the right or from the middle.
K : Yeah..since there wasn't any practice for that..
G : There was once when we had to leave the stage...KonKon was too slow and Iida-san got really mad at her. Back then many things happened..but even though its no longer our first tour we still feel nervous don't we? Like as if our heart is gonna fly out anytime.
K : Yeah
G : So even though it started today..we were all nervous too. Why aren't you energetic today?! Please get fired up! Its our last already!
K : O..ka..y.. (low-tension)
G : *laughs*
K : For me..my first stage appearance..was in..Saitama..I think. It was Yasuda-san's graduation and we had to perform "Do it now!" and "Never Forget" and there were fans at the back too
[If you watch Yasuda's concert you'll realise the stage was surrounded by fans, including at the back]
G : It was at Budoukan?
K : Budoukan..? No its not at Budoukan..it was at Saitama. I was really very nervous. We practiced "Do it now!" during the training camp and even after the training camp we were still practicing on "Do it now!" and since we practiced so much..even the dances and everything were like perfected. I can remember all the dance steps without making a single mistake. But the moment we went on stage I got terrified and didn't know what to do but everything just went past quickly.
G : Yeah..when you're too nervous you wouldn't even know when it ends..but anyway..back then..Kame WAS really cute. Being all innocent and saying "A, Niigaki-san, hai!" which is totally different from the present Kame.
K : I can't remember the 'old' Gakisan..
G : Stop looking over this side
K : Whyyy?

Letter : Asking about how GAKIKAME feels when they're singing

G : Songs are really great..even if you're just listening to it or you're singing it..Although we sing the same song again and again but the atmosphere is different everytime we sing it..Like fans' cheerings and applauses are really helpful to us
K : Yeah ~
G : When they applause for us its really touching..it feels like my tears will just roll down my cheeks anytime.
K : It will make you feel like you don't wanna stop singing for the fans
G : Rehearsals are tough..but even though its tough during the real concert you'll be having so much fun that you don't feel like stopping.
K : Yup.
G : That happens to you too right?
K : Yeah, since its fun.

Personality Test : Please form a sentence using the following conjunctions
1. But..
2. Even though..
3. Because..

[Apologies, i tried my best to make it sound better, but..]
Gakisan's answer : But the pasta was delicious, even though it was too spicy because i prefer lightly salted ones.

Eri's answer : But it was raining heavily, even though i was hungry because I don't know where my mother went.
[I didn't get what she wanted to mean for the raining heavily part, but the hungry part was b'cos her mom wasn't around to cook for her]

K : I seriously don't know what else to say.
G : Its okay anyway..its just our imagination

Results : From this test you'll know your way of life
[I'll skip the results cos' I seriously don't know how to translate the results.]
During the results Eri mentioned that she says "I don't know where my mother went" often.
GAKIKAME thanks those who have been sending in personality tests for them for the past one and a half year.

Narikiri Narcissist : The sender is 23 years old and yet he only uses 300yen per month.
K : Was it b'cos he was economising?
G : Maybe? But isn't it awesome? He only spends 300 yen per month
K : I thought it was per day..so it was per month..?
G : Yes, per month.
K : Awesome..he drank tapwater despite how cold tapwater are?
G : He brought the water from home.. and since he was living with his parents it saved him from paying for the bills. But still its awesome..whenever i go to a convenience store I'll buy juice for sure.. [She said this just to show that how great the sender was to be able to just drink normal water for a month]
K : And also if you limit yourself to use only a certain amount when you're outside playing, what can you play?
G : Precisely. Makes one wonder what did he play. But seriously, its awesome..he spends only 300yen.
K : I esteem him for his thriftiness
G : Yup. So..now for the last narcissist sentence..Is there anyone in front of your radio who wanna hear Kame's narcissist sentence?
K : Here! Koko ni iruyo (I'm here!) [Don't know if it was meant to be a pun or what for Koko ni Iruzee, but anyway..]
K : Sorry for being silent all the while, but the one whom I'm listening closely to is you [The exact sentence was "Sorry for being silent all the while, honto wa ne, ichiban nano wa anata" Which may not make sense unless you managed to link it up.]
G : *laughs* its not this! [She was saying that Eri said it wrongly]
K : Eh? Its wrong? Its this isn't it? I'm correct right? [She was asking the staffs] See! I'm correct!
G : Really? You gotta be kidding!
K : Its correct for sure! As you're listening to this please imagine me as a young actress, try and link it up and you'll understand what i meant. But if you can't link it up you'll probably just think "Whats with this Kame"
G : "Whats with this Kame"?
K : Its about the feeling. I think the fans will probably be able to connect it..by luck..[If I didn't hear wrongly, Eri added on "by luck" in a soft voice]
G : You said it *laughs* but yes, we've came to the end of the narikiri narcissist. We've got this corner for quite sometime...*Eri laughing in the background*... You'll destroy it if you continue doing that [I've no idea what Gakisan meant, perhaps she meant that Eri will destroy the atmosphere?] Summing it up, we shall let Kame boast about something.
K : Thats unreasonable...Boasting?
*silence, let the turtle think*
G : Anything will do
K : Ah..then..I can sleep without a pillow [Btw, she was ask to boast simply b'cos this is the narcissist corner]
G : *laughs* Okay, thats good enough! [Gakisan sounded like she had to go along with it cos' she had to end the corner due to the time limit]
K : You all can sleep without a pillow too?
G : Ehh..But i'd prefer to have a pillow.
K : I can sleep without it..in fact i prefer not to sleep with a pillow.. i prefer to sleep this way *shows something to Gakisan* [Even at the last episode she forgets that its a radioshow, so as usual, this happened..]
G : *laughs* No one will know! They can't see you cos' its a radioshow!

G : We selected this song together
K : Yup ~ we decided on it together ~
G : It was more like I asked "What about this?" and she just went along with it saying "Okay okay" [More like, anything will do, lol]
K : *laughs*
GAKIKAME's last selection : Aruiteru

G : Until now, together with Kame we have been DJ-ing all this GAKIKAME radioshow..
K : It was really profound wasn't it?
G : All those troubles we talked about and such. Although I always reminded Kame to listen closely to what I'm saying in the booth [Booth as in the particular room that they were in, recording the episodes] but since its a radio, its recorded, you may be listening to us while driving and you can hear me asking her to listen to me, but everyone should imagine how she is behaving. No matter what people say she just wouldn't listen. Even today she wasn't listening to me when i was trying to start the radioshow, instead she was there picking her accesories desperately. You weren't listening to me were you?
K : *laughs* That is...
G : *Cuts in* And when i looked over at her she was saying "GAKIKAME@fmfuji.co.jp"
K : I planned to listen to Gakisan actually, but the accessories were a hindrance..but after that i was concentrating all the while!
G : Nah! After a while you were there doing something else, like as if your hand was in pain or what. We're sitting on those chairs with a back, and she was there leaning on it stretching out her hands and things that you can't never imagine her doing in the studio. [Sounds like a turtle stretching out its legs from the shell, lol]
K : *mumbles mumbles*
G : *mumbles mumbles* Like when I'm talking she will say things like "hii ~" or "huu ~" or she'll be looking outside of the booth at the director and hehehe-ing at him and such. Seriously, she done lots of such things during the recordings.
K : You know..usually when we tell other people we're of the same age it will surprise those people .They'll usually think that Gakisan is older then me. But for me, even if we're together or even if we're together in this place recording GAKIKAME I still feel that Gakisan is like a child.
G : Why?!
K : Although i'm not as good as you when it comes to leading...
G : So whats the reason (for saying Gakisan is still like a child)?
K : Your reactions are like a child. Like when i just said something you'll say "EH!? WHAT?!". It makes me feel like you won't change. You're going to be 20 soon! Is it okay to be like that?
G : Its okay! You're the last person I'll ever want to hear that from!
K : Really?
G : Yesterday during the rehearsal something unfortunate...
K : *cuts in* Its unfortunate!
G : We were remembering the positions whereby we're suppose to leave the stage. Like from the left or the right and such. And I'm always grouped with Kame to leave at the same place and Kame was there asking "Gakisan, you're asked to leave at the right side of the stage?" so i replied "yeah, I'm leaving at the right" and she was like "We're the same!".
K : Its going to end soon ~ ):
G : Today when we came into the booth I was asking Kame "This is the last already, what will you do?" and she replied "Gakisan, lets run away. If we run away then they can't end it!" *laughs* Only a childish partner would say such things.
K : We've been partners throughout..
G : Seriously..its painful to see it end isn't it?
K : Yeah..Who was the one who wanna end our radioshow?!
G : *laughs* Seriously..its painful..ah...my script is only left with one page..[Meaning its going to end soon]
K : My script is only one page ever since the start! [lol! She always complains about her script being shorter]
G : Umai! (Nice one!)
K : Zabuton ichi mai! (Zabuton - flat floor cushion) [It was meant to be a pun..I think..]

Ending Talk
G : We have reached the end of the final episode of GAKIKAME. How was it?
K : I'm really filled with emotions..*giggling*
G : When Kame says it it becomes funny *laughs* This is the last mail..please read it properly..
K : Got it..*giggles* Radioname, Inaka de Uwasa no Sexy Boy-san, Gakisan, Kamei-san, Risa-san, Eri-san, Good evening! Everyone's hero..*laughs*
G : Laughing at that part is really being very rude.
K : *laughs*

Letter : Asks if GAKIKAME has any experience of escaping from certain things. [Eri was laughing too much when reading the letter]
G : For Kame's case, she escapes from things very often.
K : *laughs* Isn't this mail hilarious? [The sender shared an experience in the mail about summer vacation homeworks]
G : Yeah. If this mail was sent in during our "Be Positive" corner it'll be great
K : Seriously. Its really positive!
G : And Kame-chan is also one who is always trying to escape. Even today she thought of running away from GAKIKAME recording. Thinking that if she ran away GAKIKAME will not end
K : *mumbles mumbles* ???
G : @$#@$@ ??? [Eri was laughing and all i heard was Gakisan saying "Honto ni.." at the end of her sentence]
K : I have lots of escaping experiences.
G : *laughs* Thats constantly happening to you isn't it? Like when asked to write certain things..they'll end up putting the papers in front of her asking her to do it.
K : I'll usually end up being forced to do it in the end.
G : I think you'll be good if you start to change that habit since you're alr a senior now.
K : I think so too.
G : And the number of juniors are increasing..seriously..get hold of yourself..

G : Okay, we're really ending soon. Thank you everyone who have been supporting us ever since last year's April for one and a half year. When I was told I will be doing a radioshow together we Kame both of us were really very happy to hear that.
K : Yeah! Where was it again? We were told that when we were in the hotel?
G : Yeah! We were told at the end of the year (2006). When i heard that I was like "YAY! Lets do our best for it!". I was really happy about it. And when we started out I sometimes wondered if its okay to work with Kame. Actually when i first joined Morning Musume i was really bad when it comes to handling radioshows. In fact i was afraid of getting invited on radioshows. I didn't know what to talk about and such on a radioshow. But ever since GAKIKAME started, i really had fun in radioshows and looked forward to it a lot. So please continue to support us. And thank you everyone for the past one a half year.
K : *agreeing with whatever Gakisan said*
G : Anything you wanna say?
K : I.. *thinking*
G : Say something to show your gratitude
K : Okay..here i go.."All for one, one for all"
G : Ah..even though thats a title..
K : Ah. okay. Just that. Thank you everyone!
G : *laughs* This is all of Kame's might already.
K : Un..Un..
G : Morning Musume no Niigaki Risa to
K : Kamei Eri deshita!
G : Thank you everyone for your support for the past one and a half year!
GAKIKAME : Mata ne ~!
K : Poke ~ (In a soft voice)
