Both Eri and Gaki-san's parents were present at the public recording. After the recording, their parents went to their dressing rooms and they chatted. Gaki-san finds Eri's mother really entertaining. Eri's mother did an awesome impersonation of the usual lazy sounding Eri which Gaki-san describes it as so good that she thinks that "no Morning Musume member can do that." Even though Eri was practically criticising her mother during the recording over the salon trip, Eri's mother wasn't mad at all and was actually grinning. Eri says that she thinks that her mother was happy that Eri mentioned her.

Gaki-san: You have a cold?

Morning Musume - Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai

As the two of them were introducing the message corner, Eri dragged her words and added a "Behave responsibly!" after the title call. As expected, Gaki-san responded with a "You should (behave responsibly)." They moved on to do their self-introductions and Eri introduced herself as "Kamei Eri degowasu" instead of "Kamei Eri desu."

A listener attended the Hello! Project concert and sent in a mail regarding Gaki-san's hair. Gaki-san makes a small mistake when reading out the mail and read hair (Kami) as turtle (Kame). Eri laughed a little at it. The listener feels that its cute-looking and suitable for Gaki-san. If anyone's wondering [Some people are. Because Gaki-san still had her long beautiful hair during the public recording which was only 1-2 weeks before the concert], Gaki-san got her haircut on December 29th. Being the random her, Eri commented that its the "meat day." "Meat day" is on all the 29th because two in Japanese is "ni" and nine is "kyu." If we put them together, it becomes "nikyu" which is similar to "niku," which means meat. Gaki-san consulted other members beforehand. She discussed about it with Aichan and Eri who had their hair chopped to a really short length out of blue in the past. Gaki-san was prepared to get her hair chopped but the moment her beautiful hair was chopped, she felt sad. Apparently the hairdresser gave Gaki-san part of the hair that was cut off as a memento.

A listener asked if Gaki-san and Eri went through a failure already in 2010. Eri says that they aren't that dumb. Gaki-san can't help but doubt someone who has uncountable number of failures in life. They talk about Hello! Project's concert...since that's like the only thing they have done in 2010 so far. As there are 2 set lists for this winter concert, Gaki-san was confused with the dance choreographies, songs and everything. She only figured them out during the rehearsal that was held right before the concert. Gaki-san isn't the only one. Almost every Hello! Project member had the same problem. Eri says that as Morning Musume has older members, members like Gaki-san and Aichan are slower in such things [Gaki-san and Eri are of the same age by the way, lol]. Gaki-san doesn't get it at first and Eri was quick enough to cover up and tell Gaki-san that because they are the leader and sub-leader, they have more things to think about, hence slower than other members when learning something. Gaki-san tells Eri to say it again in a direct manner and honest Eri goes "I'm talking about you guys not having any memory and being bad at remembering things." According to Gaki-san, Eri makes such comment often and does that at the backstage before the concerts. She asks Eri if Aichan and her are considered old, then what's Makoto (Sharan Q)? Eri reasons that Makoto is like a youngster in her eyes because of the same mushroom hairstyle for years.

When Eri was younger, her parents would help her clean her ears. Like Eri had mentioned on several shows, her mother's personality is very similar to her, including the half-heartedness. As her mother was cleaning little Eri's ear, instead of looking closely into her ear, she was either watching a TV show or talking to someone. Once, her mother placed the stick so deep in that it really hurt...for little Eri of course. Eri says that she's traumatised after that incident. Now, she cleans her ears herself with her eyes closed so that she can focus on cleaning her ears. Gaki-san went crazy when she talked about her ear picking experience. She went "My way of cleaning my ears is strange. *Laughing to herself while Eri stares on*." [It sounds really funny. Do listen to it.] When washing her hair, the water flows into her ears and Gaki-san will use 2 cotton swabs, each on one hand and clean her ears. Gaki-san keeps laughing to herself although its not funny and Eri isn't laughing [Its what that made it really funny though, lol]. According to Gaki-san, she is able to use a pair of chopsticks with either her right or left hand *Inserts Gaki-san's laughter* Anyway, Eri being random again, said that that's not cute at all and Gaki-san was like "What has it got to do with being cute?" Eri checks with Gaki-san if she can really use chopsticks with both hands and Gaki-san confirmed it and added that she can pick up beans with a pair of chopsticks in either hands [Of all the things, beans.] Eri calls Gaki-san "Sabu-chan" again.

C-ute - SHOCK!

During the Hello! Project winter concert, Chisato brought some cooked onions and Gaki-san really loves them. I remember reading about it on her tour diary. Seems like she is really crazy for them now. Gaki-san not only wants to give five stars to the onions but also Chisato's generosity to bring a number of servings of it for all the Morning Musume members. With that, Gaki-san gave five stars to the onions and Chisato. [Amazingly short]

Eri's selection: SMAP - Orange

Eri says that for some reason, Gaki-san looks like a sloth during the recording of this episode with some lazy looking expressions.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Hello! This is Niigaki Risa!
I felt so strange during the public recording (￣▽￣)
Its a radio show but it felt like an event
I'll want to do it again if we get the opportunity to!
That day was Kame's birthday as well as Eve Eve*...
There was someone who dressed up as Santa (-゜3゜)
To those who came! As well as those who stopped upon hearing our voice and the shoppers (^-^)
Thank you very much m(__)m!
Please continue to support Gaki-Kame.

As this is a public recording, everyone in the building can hear every single word Gaki-san and Eri say. They decided to be careful of the conversations they hold. As expected, Eri is nervous and isn't like the usual Eri who goes "Gaki-ha~n." She's more alert and energetic during the public recording. Eri claims that its because she is a lady after all so she can't do that.

Before Gaki-san proceeds to reading out of the e-mail address, she stumbles on her words a little and said "Mochiron" (Certainly) as "Mochiran."

Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: Gaki-san...stumbled on her words.
Audience: (lol)
Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: Gaki-san just stumbled on her words.
Audience: (lol)
Eri: She stumbled ~
Gaki-san: Sorry for that.

Announcement of the Morning Musume's upcoming single to be played. Eri teases the audience by saying "You know what? Gaki-Kame are..." and waits for the audience to go "Oh?" as though they are expecting something great before finishing her sentence with a "...singing the second part of the song." Before the show, a staff checked if they are just going to play the first part of the song but both of them disagreed. They wanted their parts to be heard so much to the extent that they wanted to tell the staff to just play the second part of the song if they are unable to play the full song. Gaki-san jokingly said "The songs always fade out after Aichan sings." If you haven't notice, normally, only the first part of the songs are played on radio shows and performed on TV shows.

Morning Musume - Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai

During the recording, Gaki-san and Eri stood up when they heard themselves singing to appeal to their fans and to excite the audience.

Like last week, Gaki-san and Eri will be reading out some of the answers the audience wrote in their survey forms. The audience were asked what they would like to scream out loud in this building and why. Gaki-san and Eri will scream their lines on their behalf.

As mentioned several times on FIVE STARS Monday, Eri doesn't eat carrots. Sayu usually helps herself to the carrots in Eri's bento. Eri says that its because "that girl is a rabbit" and of course, received good reaction from the crowd as well as a compliment from Gaki-san. Anyway, Eri has no plans on trying to eat carrots because that rabbit (Sayu) will eat them for her.

Eri asks if Gaki-san is filial to her parents but before Gaki-san answers, she concluded that Gaki-san does. Gaki-san doubts that Eri is aware of the things Gaki-san does. Probably playing along with it, Eri added that she concluded that Gaki-san is filial to her parents from Gaki-san's looks. Gaki-san then asks if Eri is filial to her mother but before Eri answers, she said that Eri doesn't seem to be filial to her mother from her looks.

A listener wants to scream "Kimchi fried rice!" because he craves for it often in this season. Meanwhile, both Gaki-san and Eri crave for ramen in this season. Both of them shouted "Kimchi fried rice" once more because Eri didn't scream it with feelings during her first try.

Another listener wants to scream that his daughter learned to stand up the day before the recording. Again, Eri's surprised that there's another father in the crowd. For some reason, the 2 girls are really happy for the father. Eri says that they should let Gaki-san shout lines like "Kimchi fried rice" and let her shout lines like "My daughter learned to stand up yesterday!" Gaki-san tells Eri to indirectly insulting the "Kimchi fried rice" phrase.

Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: What should I do?
Audience: (lol)
Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: five-nk@interfm kimchi fried rice.
Audience: (lol)

They have something to scream too.
Gaki-Kame: Gaki-kame is going to take the first part! (Referring to Morning Musume's songs)
I'll love to see that too.

A different question! They will be reading out what some of the audience wants to challenge themselves to in 2010.

Eri reads out the first selected answer...which is to win a lottery. Money is a sensitive topic in FIVE STARS Monday now. Eri's first reaction to it is "Please split the winnings with me if you win." Eri bought lotteries before and won a small consolation prize once. Gaki-san tells the listener to not tell anyone if he wins it.

A listener wants to make his wife smile lots in 2010. The 2 girls find it really sweet but they jokingly hint at something as they talked about the guy being in the audience. Gaki-san stops the joke and tells the guy that his wife is more important than them.

Another listener wants to be able to flip the kendama ball to the stick in the middle successfully ten times in a row. He asked if Eri-chan can do that. Gaki-san repeats the listener's question word for word, including "Eri-chan." As expected, Eri was disgusted when Gaki-san called her Eri-chan. Eri can't do it. She can do it at least once though.

Gaki-san wants to go to DisneySea. That place gets her heart throbbing. Since its the Christmas season (Show was recorded on December 23rd), the more Gaki-san wants to be there. However, its pretty crowded there nowadays and is filled with couples. Gaki-san invites Eri to DisneySea with her which Eri accepts but said that she'll go there only after 6pm. Gaki-san wants to be there in the morning so that they can stay there longer. Eri agreed to go in the morning since Gaki-san is her senior.

For Gaki-san, she wants to get a short hairdo which she did. She has been talking about it since months ago but because of her long hair, a small part of her doesn't want to go short. As for Eri, she wants to stay with her current hairstyle which is neither long or short. Gaki-san tells Eri that she looks cute with her current hairstyle.

Eri is aware that she has a habit of saying "Ja..." (In that case...)

C-ute - Ikiyouze!

Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: Hyphen hyphen hyphen hyphen hyphen hyphen
Audience: (lol)
Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: Hyphen hyphen hyphen hyphen hyphen hyphen
Audience: (lol)

Eri is feeling troubled lately because she isn't able to come up with new jokes.

Gaki-san and Eri often wonder how many regular listeners they have and this public recording has certainly gave them a good answer. Gaki-san tells Eri to stay this way even during the normal recordings.

InterFM FIVE STARS Monday #040 (2010.01.04)

This week's episode was recorded during the public recording on December 23rd...which is also Eri's 21st birthday! The fans present were holding on to their orange light sticks. A "reindeer" brought out a birthday cake for Eri. According to Gaki-san the "reindeer" is the manager they have been talking about lately. Together with the fans, Gaki-san sang a birthday song for Eririn who was overjoyed. It was Eri's dream to be able to meet the fans on her birthday and its finally fulfilled. The birthday cake is specially designed for Eri's birthday and is a present from "Something Rogue" bakery. Eri didn't expect the birthday celebration to be held during the opening of the show.

Eri's goal for her 21st year of wonderful life is to be seen as an intellectual person, physically first. Gaki-san suggested Eri to put on spectacles but Eri wants to start off with her aura.

Morning Musume - Renai Revolution 21
They chose this song because of the fact that it has a "21" in its title.

A lot of listeners sent in birthday messages to Eri. Gaki-san couldn't read all the listeners' name out because the list just goes on.

The audience were given a form to fill in before the recording. A list of questions were asked in the form and some of the answers from the audience were picked out for the show. The first question is "What is the birthday present that made you the most happy or surprised?"

After Gaki-san read out the first listener's name, which is "Touch," Eri went "Touch touch!" making the audience laugh. Gaki-san and Eri tried to react to Touch's answer but didn't get a good response from the crowd. Obviously still not too used to the audience in front of them, it was a little awkward.

As Gaki-san spoke, Eri kept dropping comments here and there softly, causing the crowd to laugh yet again. When Gaki-san said that Umaibou is delicious, Eri made a pun quietly, as though hoping that everyone hears her except for Gaki-san. She said "Umaibou, chou umai bou" which means "Umaibou is a very tasty stick." Please check out the Umaibou link to get the joke if you have yet to get it. Coming back, Gaki-san didn't hear Eri say that but she did hear Eri mumbling so she asked her what she said but Eri denied saying something.

Probably a little nervous, Eri stumbled on her words and said "Radio nebu" instead of "Radio name." A listener answered that he is happy with whatever present his daughter gives her. While Gaki-san talked about how touching that is, Eri said "Its amazing that there's actually a papa in this crowd!" Yes, Eri's focus isn't on the present but rather the fact that they have a fan that's already a father. Thanks to Gaki-san, she led Eri back to the main point in an indirect way.

Eri's dad sent her a birthday mail before the recording and Eri was planning to reply to her dad only after the recording. Luckily they were talking about the listener being a father because the talk reminded Eri to reply to her dad. She thanked everyone for the reminder.

A listener's answered that the best birthday present he received is that his hamster gave birth on his birthday. Eri commented that the listener is very girlish but was quick enough to add in "even though he is a guy."

Another listener answered that it is the bouquet of flowers her boyfriend gave her. The number of flowers represented her age. Eri then went, "I wonder how many stalks there were (lol)." Gaki-san told Eri to not touch on such a subject because that's a female listener.

Gaki-san didn't understand what a stone dumpling and Eri did some unexpectedly clear explanation for her. Stone dumplings are made by freezing mud dumplings. They are inedible but are made by small boys to play with. Its more like a boys' toy but Eri knows of it because her big brother played with it and their front yard often had mud dumplings lying around.

Before the public recording, they had a rehearsal. Eri knew her schedule some time ago and was expecting a birthday surprise during the rehearsal. However, they didn't do it during the rehearsal. They gave Eri her birthday surprise some time ago, before her birthday, during a recording. After the recording, everyone got down from the stage like they usually do and head for the back. Their manager rushed to Gaki-san and asked her to stall time for them because they wanted to give her the surprise there. It was a very sudden request so Gaki-san called out to Eri and acted as though she had something to tell Eri. She went "Wait, Kame! I have something to talk to you about...erm...uh..." Eri simply replied "What's up Gaki-san? Stop it (The drag) Its gross ~." Gaki-san was silently praying for the manager to move a little faster and thankfully, they were finally ready...seconds before Eri stepped in.

Gaki-san feels that Eri loves her mother a lot. Whatever it is, Eri will call her mother, going "Okaa-han! Okaa-han!" Talking about Eri's mother...not long ago, her mother went to a salon and spent 26k yen. When Eri heard the price, she was like "Wow, this person is awesome." She realised parents can do all sort of amazing things. According to Gaki-san, the day after Eri's mother went to the salon, Eri went around asking everyone how much they usually spend during each salon trip. Eri's reason for making such a big fuss is because there's a recession now, lol.

A listener answered that birthday wishes are enough to make him happy. As the 2 of them commented on how wonderful this listener is, Gaki-san said "This person is fabulous, unlike Kame. Talking about things like recession."

Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: five...five-nk@interfm.jp
Gaki-san: We aren't doing a frog's chorus here so can you stop that?
Eri: Echo echo!

No FIVE STARS corner this week, but there's a new corner where Eri has to guess what items are in the box. The rules of this corner is simple. Eri has to put her hands into the box to feel the items and identify them. One side of the box is transparent plastic which is for the audience to see what is inside. When the box was brought in, the always curious turtle almost looked through the transparent side. Luckily Gaki-san stopped her in time before Eri ruined the game.

The items in the box are Gaki-san's birthday presents for Eri. Upon hearing that, Eri said "So that's why you didn't give me one!" Before the public recording, they were with the rest and all the members gave Eri her birthday present except for Gaki-san. Eri did notice that and kept glancing at Gaki-san. Gaki-san did catch Eri peeking at her but she waited patiently just for this moment. Another rule of this game...made by Gaki-san is that Eri could only get the item if she guesses it correctly. Eri felt very confident and was ready to take them all home.

The first item Eri identified is the hot-water bottle. She took it out of the box and squealed as she held the bottle as though its her pillow. As Gaki-san said that this is something that can't be seen in a radio show, Eri quickly covered her face, only to be told to put down her hands by Gaki-san.

The second item is a pair of socks. Gaki-san bought them for her because Eri has holes in her socks, again. The crowd laughed at Eri and Eri told them they are laughing too much. Longer socks talk after the third item!

The third item is a room wear. Eri is sensitive to cold so Gaki-san bought a fluffy one for her. Its pink in colour and Gaki-san asked the audience to try imagine Eri wearing it, making Eri embarrass at the same time. That earned Gaki-san a whack to the head from Eri.

Coming back to the socks, during a rehearsal for Nine Smile concert, as Gaki-san was doing her stretches with Eri, at some point of time, Eri placed her foot near to Gaki-san's face. Gaki-san turned and looked at Eri's foot only to see a foot covered with a sock that has 3 holes. Being the usual her, Gaki-san told Eri its about time she should be getting some new pairs of socks and being the usual her, Eri asked Gaki-san to buy them for her.

C-ute - SHOCK!

Gaki-san: We will be waiting for your messages to the show! We accept mails about this and that or even, "Will Kame really be okay after turning 21?" Please send lots of song requests too. The e-mail address is "five-nk@interm.jp"
Eri: Gaki-san...I think I will be okay
Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: Gaki-san...I think I will be okay

The girls will be updating FIVE STARS Monday's blog weekly so do check it out!

As they were rounding up the show, Eri compared the warmth she felt from the audience to the warmth of the hot-water bottle only to be tsukkomi'd by Gaki-san yet again for her non-serious remark.

Gaki-Kame: Bahahai!
Eri: The party is in full swing too!

Eri misread "bed" as "pet" for the first mail. Moving on to the opening talk, sitting on the sofa of her living room is the calmest place in her house for Gaki-san. She enjoys playing games, watching television programs and using her mobile phone on the sofa. According to Eri, the sofa in her house is "broken." They didn't get a replacement immediately. Instead, Eri and her family sat on futon until they saw some cheap zaisus which are what they are using for now. Eri places the zaisu on a hot carpet, behind a desk and she likes the warmth of the carpet in between the zaisu and desk. As Gaki-san was wondering about how one can feel calm in a toilet (the listener who sent in the mail said his calmest place is the toilet), Eri told her "You will feel calm. There's no one but yourself in there." Eri added that she (still) likes narrow places and to be in a secret place so that no one can scold her.

Morning Musume - Kimagure Princess

The surreal joke the listener made in his mail got Gaki-san and Eri laughing. The girls gave one another "titles." Gaki-san suggested "random goofy girl" and "goofy happy yaro" (Yaro means rascal) for Eri. In case you're wondering, the "happy yaro" title is the same joke they made in this episode. Eri titled Gaki-san "noisy girl." Gaki-san doesn't want to be called that by Eri but she admits that she is noisier than Eri. Both Gaki-san and Eri can be really loud when their "loud switch" is turned on. However, Gaki-san's loud laughter can be really annoying. Eri often tells Gaki-san to not laugh in such an exaggerated manner because they aren't on TV and she doesn't have to react to them like the way they have to on TV shows. Despite Gaki-san's refusal to accept the title, Eri is still going with "noisy girl" for Gaki-san.

A listener asked Gaki-san and Eri how many new year's card they are planning to prepare. The 2 girls decided to answer at the same time and again, their answers matched. The answer is zero. Gaki-san knows that it isn't a good habit to not write them. She does feel tempted to prepare the cards when she sees the new year related items like new year stickers. Even though they don't send out new year's cards, they do send people their new year greetings, through mobile phone's mails. Not only are they cute, there are postcard templates that can be used. They enjoyed preparing new year's cards when they were younger though. Gaki-san stumbled a little on her words and Eri immediately jumped on her mistake, twice.

Eri knows that she has a habit of blinking continuously but it isn't as bad as the past now. Both of them agreed that the normal face Koharu makes looks funny. Koharu has the habit of making a funny face unknowingly when in a serious discussion.

Hot request: Morning Musume - Koi-ING

Gaki-san and Eri don't mind what listeners are doing when they are listening to the radio show. They are happy as long as the listeners listen to the radio show.

Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: For me...(mumbles)
Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Eri: Sunny side up eggs

Gaki-san finds slide phones good. Eri has used a slide phone in the past and wonders what's good about it. Gaki-san thinks that slide phones look cute and are convenient. One doesn't have to flip it open to use the phone. Eri, on the other hand, doesn't like the design slide phones. Also, as slide phones are generally smaller in size than flip phones, they look good with the phone straps. Gaki-san goes more for the appearance of her phone than function. She used a slide phone too in the past, but changed to a flip open phone and then she changed back to a slide phone again recently. Now that she is back with a slide phone, she is more for slide phones and has decided to stick to slide phones. Before Gaki-san bought her current phone, she went to look at mobile phones together with Eri after a FIVE STARS Monday recording. The next day when Eri met Gaki-san, Gaki-san showed the Eri her new phone. Her speed in buying a mobile phone surprised Eri. According to Gaki-san, she is pretty fastidious about her mobile phone. With that, Gaki-san gave 5 stars to slide phones.

Eri's selection: GReeeeN - Setsuna

Although they were travelling in a taxi on the way to the studio, Eri kept singing "Setsuna" despite the presence of a stranger (the taxi driver).

[Fan recording added] FIVE STARS Monday public recording (2009.12.23)

The public recording started off with Gaki-san and Eri first and they were later joined by a host. Yes, a host, even though its Gaki-san and Eri's radio show. The fan project on mixi for the fans to hold up orange light sticks was very successful. There was a huge crowd and a lot of fans complained about not being able to see the girls completely. Passer-bys made comments how cute and beautiful Gaki-san and Eri were, lol.

A "reindeer" brought out a cake, which is of course, for the birthday girl. The cake had lots of strawberries on it and all the fans sang a birthday song for Eri. The staffs bought the cake from "Something Rogue" bakery. A lot of fans went to the bakery after the public recording.

They recorded 2 weeks of radio show during the public recording. Not going to go into the contents of the shows since it will be aired in near future. Only going to write about the unrecorded portions. Before the recording, Eri told the audience that Gaki-san was very nervous and asked Gaki-san to "leave it to her." Gaki-san explained that she was nervous because Eri's free-will attitude will give her problems. After the first recording, the girls said that the audience was unexpectedly close to them.

Morning Musume's upcoming single, "Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai " was played for the very first time during the public recording. It is pretty similar to Kioku no Meiro and Resonant Blue. Gaki-san and Eri are leads for the second half of the song (Not confirmed, but it sounded like they are the leads). They stood up from their seats when they heard themselves singing, cute.

The duration of the public recording is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

Update 1: The recordings are for the first 2 weeks of FIVE STARS Monday in 2010.
Update 2: Fan recording for "Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai" can be downloaded here. You can hear Gaki-san and Eri at the second half of the song. The fans cheered because Gaki-san and Eri stood up to appeal to the fans during their lines.

Morning Musume - Nanchatte Renai

Gaki-san and Eri were asked what their "popular phrase" of 2009 is. They decided to announce it together to see if they were thinking of the same phrase and surprisingly, they did. The last time they tried something like that, both of them gave 2 completely different answers. Anyway, the phrase is none other than "Nananananzoya!" which they have been using frequently on FIVE STARS Monday. "Nananananzoya!" is an old gag.

Gaki-san's little sister is in high school now and is having worries about her university admission.

The first thing Gaki-san looks at when she sees a guy is his eyes. Not to check him out, just that she looks into people's eyes because one's eyes can say a lot about him. Eri isn't too sure of where she looks at for a guy at first but after some discussion with Gaki-san, she concluded that she looks at their eyes too.

Tanpopo# - Umbrella

For the past few weeks, the 2 hosts have been talking about one of their managers who has Kamei (AB) blood type. The manager is pretty tall and looks tough but her personality isn't that way. She speaks with a weak voice and is really kind. Despite Gaki-san and Eri being the usual loud them, she doesn't try to shut them up. Instead, she tries to respond to them. They imitated the manager's voice several times during this talk. Gaki-san told us about one of her conversations with the manager.

Gaki-san: Please don't change your personality.
Manager: I doubt I will.
Gaki-san: Please don't change even when you're promoted to the company or another position.
Manager: I have no plans on trying to get a promotion...

Eri works very well with this manager. With that, Eri gave five stars to that manager...which Eri calls "Miss T" on the radio show.

Very short talks this week.

InterFM FIVE STARS Monday #037 (2009.12.14)

When eating bento, Gaki-san will start off with her favourite food item.She used to leave her favourite to the last though. Eri on the other hand has never thought of which is eat first. Gaki-san's response to Eri's habit, "You really don't think about anything huh?" Normally, Eri will just eat accordingly to what she wants to first. As for a strawberry shortcakes, Gaki-san will eat the strawberry first. Eri wonders why do people even make decisions for which to eat first when eating. FYI, during a personality test in 2006, both Gaki-san and Eri started eating a strawberry (normal) cake from the edge of the triangular piece of cake instead of the strawberry.

Just the other day, when they were travelling on a bullet train, the bento they had had ginkgo nuts in them. Gaki-san doesn't like to eat ginkgo nuts so naturally, she'll look for the ginkgo nuts lover, who was sitting diagonally behind her. Despite the presence of other passengers, when Gaki-san called out for Eri, Eri replied loudly, "Give me a minute, Gaki-san!" Eri had High Chew gummies with her that day and she passed some of them to Gaki-san by...throwing them. One of the gummies hit Gaki-san on the head and both of them started laughing. That earned them a scolding from their manager.

Eri didn't interrupt Gaki-san as Gaki-san read out the e-mail address.

Morning Musume - Naichau Kamo

If Eri orders Oyakodon (Chicken, egg and onion on rice) but gets only a bowl of onion and rice, her first reaction will be "Why?" in English. Gaki-san wonders what's up with Eri's recent English phrase nowadays. Both Gaki-san and Eri will inform the waiter if they happen to be served with a different dish. Gaki-san will say something like "Erm...there's only onions in here. You guys forgot to add in the rest of the ingredients right?" The two of the encourage listeners to speak out if we are served with the wrong dish since we are in the right.

A listener asked if Gaki-Kame prefer guys with thick eyebrows or thin eyebrows. Eri responded with a "Anything will do ~" As usual, she doesn't have a preference for such things. Gaki-san too, has never thought of what type of eyebrows she prefers guys to have. She doesn't like guys with very fine eyebrows though. Eri remembers that back then when they were still schooling, everyone had very fine eyebrows during a period of time. Hearing herself say "Back then when we were still schooling..." Eri doesn't like it but Gaki-san, being the very realistic her, told Eri she has no choice since they are all growing up. Gaki-san can't stand guys with blonde hair but black eyebrows too. Eri doesn't mind. As long as the guy looks fine with the eyebrows he has, she is okay with it. Both of them concluded that they guys with too thin eyebrows aren't their cup of tea. They prefer just normal eyebrows.

Eri noticed that whenever she reads out mails from the listeners that ask them which do they prefer, A or B and stuff like that, she doesn't actually have an answer because she is fine with all the options.

A listener asked what sort of cakes do they like for Christmas and of course, poor little Eri who's birthday is two days before Christmas. To Eri, its not a matter about what sort of cake she likes, but rather, its about whether she gets a cake for her birthday. Eri called her mother an idiot which Gaki-san reminded her that if she calls her mother an idiot, that means an idiot gave birth to baby Eririn. Gaki-san told Eri to appreciate her mother. Coming back, because Eri's birthday is two days before Christmas, her mother doesn't know when to get a cake. On Eri's birthday? Or on Christmas? To Eri, her mother should just get cakes for both the events. Apparently she doesn't mind eating so many cakes. When Gaki-Kame were informed of the public recording that will be held on Eri's 21st birthday, the first thing that Eri said was that "I hope there'll be a cake..."

FYI, in Morning Musume DVD Magazine Volume 27, Eri mentioned that during her birthdays, whenever she goes shopping for a birthday cake with her mother, they won't be able to get one because during that season, all the cake shops only sells Christmas cakes. She made a cute request in the DVD for cake shops to sell birthday cakes within that period because her birthday is near to Christmas.

Mano Erina - Osozaki Musume

Gaki-san watched Michael Jackson's "This is it" movie twice. Eri missed the movie asked Gaki-san to stop talking about it. She ignored Eri of course and continued talking about how badly she wants them to release a DVD for the movie. Every time Gaki-san watches a movie, she will buy M-sized popcorn. She was so awed by the movie that she didn't eat much of her popcorns. She only ate them during the advertisement before they started playing the movie. Despite doing that on her first "This is it" movie experience, she still bought a M-sized popcorn for her second "This is it." Gaki-san has Michael Jackson's DVDs at home and dances to them too. She tried moonwalking and enjoys dancing to Michael Jackson's songs. Gaki-san's parents are big fans of Michael Jackson and has brought Gaki-san to one of his concerts. Gaki-san doesn't remember it though because she was only three years old or so at that time. Eri laughed at Gaki-san when Gaki-san got a little too excited and started talking like some sort of promoter. With that, Gaki-san gave five stars to Michael Jackson's "This is it" movie.

Procol Harum - Aoi Kage

Eri's mother likes this song. Through her mother, Eri got to know of this song and started to like it.

InterFM FIVE STARS Monday #036 (2009.12.07)

(Download)

A listener who was curious about which dish Gaki-san and Eri would choose when given Mapo Tofu, Mapo Eggplant and Mapo cellophone noodles sent in a mail asking them about it with a little exaggeration of not being able to sleep because of his curiosity. Eri claimed that she had been curious about it too that she wasn't able to sleep and was tempted to send Gaki-san a mail asking her that in the middle of the night. Gaki-san of course doubted Eri considering that Eri doesn't even reply to mails often. Gaki-san was torn between Mapo Tofu and Mapo cellophone noodles at first but chose Mapo Tofu. Mapo Eggplant was out of the question since Gaki-san doesn't like eggplants as mentioned in past FIVE STARS Monday episodes. When Gaki-san said she doesn't like eggplants,

Kame : Eh? What a child!
Gaki : Eh? I don't want to be called a child by Kame who dislikes carrot ~

Eri felt that when eggplants are cooked in Sichuan style, the mapo smell is stronger than the eggplants' smell so it shouldn't be that bad but to Gaki-san, she still can't take it and doesn't understand the whole point of an eggplant which she later apologised to eggplants (Yes, eggplants) for saying that. Eri is okay with all three dishes. However, because Eri isn't too good at eating spicy food and the Mapo Tofu sold in Chinese cuisine restaurants tends to be spicier, it isn't the kind of dish for her. If the three dishes were cooked at home (In other words, able to lower the spiciness), Eri would choose Mapo Tofu.

Gaki : five-nk@interfm.jp
Kame : Asuka-san, Eri is sleepy (Asuka-san is the radio name of the listener who sent in the first mail)
Gaki : five-nk@interfm.jp
Kame : Eri is sleepy.
Gaki : Hey, we're in middle of the recording. Lets do other work well.
Kame : I wonder what's wrong with me today.
Gaki : She has been saying that she is sleepy ever since just now.
Kame : I wonder why.
Gaki : When we were greeting during the opening and went "Yay ~," her "Yay ~" was done while stretching.

Morning Musume - Shouganai Yume Oibito
We're in the last month of 2009 so they played SYO, which was released in 2009.

Some time ago, when Eri was on a radio show called "NEVERMIND!!" with Aichan, both of them did impersonations of a station attendant. A listener requested for Eri to do the same on FIVE STARS Monday. Gaki-san tried to impersonate a station attendant but she didn't know that the tone she used was of an elevator girl. Eri corrected her and did her impersonation of a station attendant (~06.36). Apparently the staffs outside were laughing really hard after listening to Eri's impersonation. When Gaki-san asked Eri about how Aichan's impersonation was,

Kame : I don't remember. I don't have any impression of her impersonation.
Gaki : (lol)
Kame : She wasn't even willing to do it at that time.
Gaki : (lol)
Kame : She was like "Its embarrassing. Lets get over and done with this as soon as possible."
Gaki : Yes, she's like that.
Kame : I was supposed to do my impersonation after her so I was nervous. Aichan's impersonation was hopeless.

Eri asked Gaki-san to do the impersonation too which she tried...in that elevator girl tone again.
Kame : I TOLD YOU THAT'S AN ELEVATOR GIRL!

Gaki-san noticed that Eri had became more responsible than before and listeners have the image of Eri fooling around when she's with Gaki-san but responsible when with her juniors. Eri called Gaki-san Sub-chan again.

A listener asked the two girls if there is any duo in Morning Musume that they think that will not be able to host a good talk together. The first duo that came into their minds was Junjun and Linlin. Not that they can't get along well, but no one will understand their talks since they will start arguing and soon start speaking in Chinese. Gaki-san suggested Aichan and Reina while Eri suggested Reina and Koharu. After reasoning it out among themselves, they agreed on Reina and Koharu since both Reina always wants to talk about herself while Koharu tends to interrupt people's talks saying that they are wrong. Whenever that happens, Reina get pissed off and shut Koharu up before continuing with her talk. For some reason, Eri called Reina Tanakacchi. Meanwhile for Aichan, she is more of a listener so she will probably agree with what Reina says instead of interrupting.

Another listener sent in a mail about having a friend who has Kamei blood type. FYI, during this event, as the girls were grouped according to their blood types and Eri is the only girl in Morning Musume that has AB blood type, they renamed AB blood type and Kamei blood type. Kamei blood type is the least common blood type among A, B and O. Surprisingly, the manager who came with them for this recording also has Kamei blood type. Gaki-san finds the manager funny. Just the other day, when she took a taxi with that manager, the manager was talking to herself. Gaki-san knew that the manager wasn't talking to her although Gaki-san wasn't used to the manager's unique personality so she just kept quiet and used her mobile phone. Halfway through their trip, the manager suddenly went "HA ~" and pointed at something. Gaki-san looked up to check what was wrong and the manager told her "Over there. Its a soccer stadium!" It was obviously unrelated to Gaki-san and she found that incident really funny. Eri doesn't know much people with Kamei blood type. The manager is probably Eri's first friend with Kamei blood type. So far, all the friends with Kamei blood type that Gaki-san knows of, they have been great friends and tend to be funny.

Mini Moni - Pen Pen Kyoudai

As Gaki-san was introducing the FIVE STARS segment, Eri was imitating Gaki-san and her hand gestures.

For this week's FIVE STARS corner, Eri was talking about neck pillows. From her description of her pillow, its probably the one she had on her neck in the above picture. According to Eri, Gaki-san has a similar one. Eri always brings it with her whenever she has to travel to another prefecture for work purposes. Recently, Morning Musume had a release event in Osaka. Eri initially thought of bringing it along with her but she forgot to do so. She only realised it on the bullet train. Gaki-san on the other hand had hers already on her neck and relaxing. Eri named her neck pillow Pink-chan. Because Eri didn't have her Pink-chan with her, she didn't sleep on the train. Gaki-san remembers that trip. She was sitting behind Eri while Eri was sitting with Koharu and a manager. Eri started playing music out of blue and singing random lyrics, earning her lots of "HUSH!" from other members. After being shushed by other members, Eri apologised but continued singing. With that, Eri gave five stars to her half-donut shaped pillow (She doesn't know the term for the pillow) aka Pink-chan.

Gaki-san's selection : Wham! - Last Christmas
She chose it since its going to be Christmas soon.

Niigaki Risa ★10

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Good evening (￣▽￣)b
This is Niigaki Risa who has been into Michael Jackson recently (^3^)/
Lately...I've been dancing to Michael's DVD together with papa and mama.
My little sister will give us a cold look as we do that...(lol)

Currently, I'm travelling in a bus as I eat my coffee jelly, I'm playing Michael's songs in my head and suddenly, I hummed a phrase from the song...Then, at that moment, Kame looked at me...Yes, Kame laughed at me...

(*≧m≦*) Pupu

And this was Gaki-han who had just wrote about her recent activities m(__)m

See you ( ´∀`)/~~

InterFM FIVE STARS Monday #035 (2009.11.30)

(Download)

After listening to the episode of FIVE STARS Monday where Eri screamed "Kamehamha!" loudly in the radio show, a listener suggested Eri to scream a phrase every week. Gaki-san thought it was a rather good idea so it has been decided that Eri will scream a phrase after Gaki-san and Eri say "Bahahai~" at the end of the show every week.

Gaki : five-nk@interfm.jp
Kame : ...Its difficult to think up of a phrase out of blue...
Gaki : five-nk@interfm.jp
Gaki : Don't worry, you'll do fine. You have 30 minutes to think.
Kame : All right.

Morning Musume - Kimagure Princess
Eri was already thinking of what phrase to use as the song started playing.

Just recently, there was an expensive item that Eri wanted but gave up the thought of buying it at first. However, the next day, she went back to get the item. Whenever Eri touches something she likes, she has the temptation to get it. Gaki-san remembers a shopping trip with Eri where Eri saw something she liked but for some reason was trying very hard to control herself from buying it. Eri's way of resisting the temptation was by asking Gaki-san to continue their shopping spree in another store. Although they moved on to another store, the next day, Eri went up to Gaki-san and told her she bought that item. Gaki-san recommended Adidas shoes. According to Eri, they often wear Adidas shoes. Gaki-san and Eri advised the listener who was troubled over whether to buy a pair of shoes that cost 60k yen or not to think twice before making a decision. A shoe being a shoe, if the listener happens to be walking in the rain with that pair of shoes, the thought of the pair of 60k yen shoes stepping into puddles of rainwater...

Once, when Gaki-san took the train, although her fare card's balance wasn't enough for the trip, the ticket gate opened up for her so she didn't know there wasn't enough money in her card. After she reached her station and tapped her card to go out of the station, the gate wouldn't open and that was when she realised she had to top up her card. She approached a station master for help but probably because of Gaki-san's hairdo and outfit that day that might had made her look like a gyaru, the station master had doubts about Gaki-san's way of entering the station in the previous station she was in. Gaki-san being Gaki-san, she explained clearly to the station master and even offered to pay the fare which she didn't pay since her card's balance wasn't enough. She doesn't blame the station master since its his job and decided to check her card's balance whenever she is not sure of whether there is enough money left to pay for the fare.

Like most of the people, there were times where Eri tapped her fare card on the ticketing machine only to find that there isn't enough value in her card. As certain stations such as Shibuya is usually crowded with people, if that happens, it can be embarrassing and annoying to other passengers at the same time. Instead of being all embarrassed, Eri will react with an "Ahhh~," then turn around and look at the passengers and give another "Ahhh~." Her reason for doing so is to let the long queue of people behind her know that they aren't the only one who is annoyed the sudden interruption of the smooth flow.

Both Gaki-san and Eri's little sisters are more sensible than them, especially Eri's little sister. One example is when Eri went shopping with her mother. Her little sister joined her afterwards and seeing Eri's hands full of shopping bags, she offered to hold them for her. Eri would let her little sister do the work. She reasoned (Or excuse...) if she didn't, her sister may wonder about what Eri bought as she didn't let her hold them.

Eri started singing the "papapa" line after the song.

Not long ago, Gaki-san bought a Duffy soft toy from DisneySea. Apparently Duffy is a soft toy that Mickey Mouse gave Minnie Mouse to keep her occupied so that she won't feel lonely. There are a lot of sizes of the Duffy soft toy and they are only available in DisneySea. Its currently very popular among Disney lovers. So popular that if you go to DisneySea only in the evening, you don't get a choice of what Duffy design soft toy you want because most of it would have been sold out. Eri obviously wasn't interested in Gaki-san's Disney talk and Gaki-san had to force Eri to listen to her. When Gaki-san tried to include Eri in the conversation, Eri gave her half-hearted replies, lol. With that, Gaki-san gave Duffy five stars.

Gaki : five-nk@interfm.jp
Gaki : Hey...
Kame : What?
Gaki : Can you not be silent at this part?
Kame : Because they changed that line suddenly...I...are you kidding me?

Kame : Yay ~

In case anyone didn't get what Eri was talking about, she was referring to the e-mail address for the radio show.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gaki-san was pretty bad at reading Kanjis this...Anyway,
It's Eri's month! ♥

Gaki-Kame's first public recording

Gaki-san's wish came through! FIVE STARS Gaki-Kame (RisaEri) will be having a public recording! And guess what? It'll be on Eri's 21st birthday! A rare opportunity for both Gaki-Kame and the fans to celebrate Eri's birthday together since there usually aren't any events on Eri's birthday. I'm happy for them and of course, feeling the jealousy that I got used to at the same time. Either way, I hope both the girls have a great time and the fans during the first ever Gaki-Kame radio show public recording.

Details
Date : December 23rd (Wednesday)
Time : 19:30
Venue : Marunouchi OAZO
Program : Bright Christmas 2009 InterFM presents FIVESTARS GAKI-KAME Christmas Special Public Recording

I'm looking forward to Gaki-Kame's public recording and whether Eri will get her melon/chocolate cake on that day for her birthday. Talking about Eri's 21st birthday, if you have yet to check out the birthday project please click the project banner under the news header for more information.

Eri likes using Kombu and octopus as the ingredients for her Oden. As for Gaki-san, its Shirataki. After Gaki-san asked Eri if it was uncommon for people to add in octopus for their oden, Eri replied with a "Its very very very very very not common."

Eri said the "Fish cake" (Hanpen) on purpose to confuse listeners because "Hanpen" sounds a little like "Haifun" (Hyphen)

Morning Musume - Kimagure Princess

Both Gaki-san and Eri are born in Showa Era therefore they got themselves the name of "Giri-Shou" (Barely Showa). Even though the two of them are only older than Sayu and Reina by a year, Sayu and Reina often tease them for being Showa-ish (Old). They will then respond with a "What are you talking about? You Heisei Happy Yaro." FYI, "Happy Yaro" is a gag of NON-STYLE, a comedian duo. Apparently Gaki-san and Eri has been using it often nowadays. Eri has never thought about wanting to be in Heisei although she was half a month away from becoming a Heisei girl.

Even though Gaki-san isn't a natural airhead, she feels that being a natural airhead isn't a bad thing. In fact, she finds it cute. The two girls were being really optimistic this week and just assured the listeners that sent in mails about their worries of being in a Showa girl and a natural airhead that its totally okay to be that way.

Morning Musume had an event in Yorimiuri Land on October 30. Due to certain reasons, Eri was unable to turn up for the rehearsal for the event. Knowing that she definitely needs some before-hand practice, Eri got a slot with the in-charge the day before the event to have a one-to-one rehearsal. It certainly wasn't the best thing ever to be practising alone instead of with other members. Before Eri went for the one-to-one rehearsal, she was with Gaki-san. Gaki-san voluntarily offered to join Eri although she had already went for the other rehearsal with the rest of the members. Gaki-san's reason for going for a second round was that because they only had one rehearsal for the event so she wasn't feeling too confident too hence went for a second rehearsal. Reason or excuse? (Just kidding) Eri was really relieved that someone was with her. Both of them were really focused during the rehearsal. Gaki-san described it as "It has been some time since I've seen such a focused Kame." Coming back to the event, they had lots of fun and want to do an outdoor event again. The two of them were moved by how the fans waited patiently in the cold weather for two hours just to shake their hands and stuff.

Mano Erina - Love and Peace Paradise

Nananananzoya! In the past, Eri didn't have a good image of electrical toothbrushes. She felt that it would be better to brush our teeth by ourselves. However, recently, she went to the dentist and the dentist used a electric toothbrush to brush her teeth. It worked out pretty well and she wanted one too. By coincidence, the dental clinic was having a sale for the electric toothbrush so Eri got herself one. She also bought three other toothbrushes that can be attached to the gadget. A normal-sized toothbrush, a small one, and a tiny one. Another good thing about using electrical toothbrushes is that Eri's mother and sister can share the gadget since they can easily remove the toothbrush and put in their own. Eri takes about 15 minutes to brush her teeth for now since she is still having fun using the gadget for now. With that, Eri gave 5 stars to electrical toothbrushes! Talking about electrical toothbrushes, 1/2/3/4.

Michael Jackson - This is it
Gaki-san has watched the movie already.

Eri had been doodling on her script with a mechanical pencil instead of the usual ones she uses. When she "colours" the paper, it'll leave the lead with a sharp end on the longer side. She realised that writing with the blunter side would result in nicer words for her handwriting.
