Hadaka no Johnny's

[Ricci]

Ôkura: Today we're together with Yokoyama-kun's beloved Nakamaru-kun.
Nakamaru: .......... eh?
Yoko: Uhyahya! That's the spirit. I always say how much I love Nakamaru.
Nakamaru: Thanks! Lately, we often go out to eat, don't we.
Ryô: I've only joined the day before yesterday, so I haven't gone to eat with anyone yet.
Jin: I don't have any opportunities like that.
Nakamaru: What, even if I invite you you don't come!
Jin: Chigau chigau chigau chigau! (That's not true!)
Yoko: How often have we invited you to come along!
Nakamaru: This guy is just bad at going out with someone.
Jin: On the days that you invited me, the timing was always off. But I'll definitely come along the next time!
Yoko: Those words, do you really mean them? Right now this is in the middle of the stage play, but I
Nakamaru: You do ne. Where nobody sees it. *laughs*
Yoko: While Kame and Subaru were doing their fight scene in the front, I was speaking in a low voice, trying to impress Nakamaru. *laughs*
Ôkura: Before, it was always Subaru's strange face attack, and now that I thought there wouldn't be anything like that, there comes Yokoyama-kun. *laughs*
Ryô: There isn't any space for doing stuff like that, is there?
Jin: Plus, it's a very serious scene where you just mustn't laugh, right?
Yoko: And that's when I do it. Time for my strategy. But lately, whenever I descend the stairs from the stage and directly go to where Nakamaru is, Nakamaru hides. *laughs*
Nakamaru: Hahahaha! I unexpectedly change my position, and when Yokoyama-kun turns his head and looks around, he's like 'Ah, he's gone!'" *laughs*
Yoko: Yeah! One time I thought I'd do my line from the script 'Nakamaru-san, please do something about this fight!', but when I suddenly turned around, Nakamaru wasn't there, I got really desperate. Then Fujigaya from Kis-My~ saw my face and laughed at me. *laughs* When I asked 'Hey, where did Nakamaru go?'...
Nakamaru: I was at the side of the stage and grinned teasingly. *laughs*
Ôkura: After that, when Yokoyama-kun was rejected by Nakamaru, I became the target. *laughs* But I never play along.
Yoko: No no, you might say that, but your facial expression changes!
Ôkura: Yeah! Once, when he didn't expect me to, I suddenly asked him 'What should I do?', when all of a sudden he grabbed my arms.
Nakamaru: Ahaha, that's more like 'What should *I* do?' *laughs*
Yoko: Hey, that was perfect acting skill!
Ôkura: Directly before that, Jin had said something to me that had made me mad, so even while I tried not to look pissed off, I couldn't help laughing at Yokoyama-kun's behaviour...
Ryô: On the first day that I joined in, during the 'Naniwa Iroha Bushi" of the last showtime, Jin kept on butting in the whole time. Well, I'm fine with that though, I just ignore him. *laughs* I'm strong when it comes to something like that.
Jin: That's a lie! During the hospital scene you laughed! Your lips were twisting, I saw that!
Ryô: Ah, that really happened! And just when no one tried to make me laugh, I laughed myself! *laughs*
Yoko: I've also tricked Nishikido.
Ryô: That's not true! I don't know anything about that.
Yoko: But Nishikido, you don't look at me at all. *laughs*
Ryô: Hahaha. [AN: Sorry, I don't get it! ^^;; Japanese: オレ、役柄的に横山くんのこと知っててええんかなぁってビミョーにわからなくて、いっつもシカトしてるんです(laughs)]
Yoko: With my role, I don't appear with the others a lot, so when I meet everyone on stage, I get really happy. 'Uwa, everyone's there!', like that. *laughs*
Nakamaru: Kawaii. Oh, and Jin messed up once this time.
Yoko: Aah, that couldn't be helped. You were sleeping, weren't you?
Jin: That's not true! I just misunderstood the timing. I'm sorry!
Nakamaru: Yokoyama-kun, Kôki and I stood behind the stairs at that time.
Yoko: Yeah. I didn't notice anything, when Nakamaru suddenly said 'Oh, Jin isn't appearing in this scene!' After he pointed that out, I realized I couldn't hear Akanishi's singing voice at all! *laughs*
Jin: That was close!
Yoko: The three of us were all saying 'Wah, what are we going to do, what are we going to do!', but our faces all looked very happy. I love happenings like that. *laughs*
Ôkura: In the meantime, the intro on stage got longer and longer.
Yoko: After a short while, Jin came suddenly dashing out onto the stage with a very pale face. *laughs*
Jin: I won't forget that in my whole life, I think. For Ryô, it was the first day he participated, and it was this very serious scene when Subaru-kun dies.
Ryô: In that scene Jin gets injured and afterwards has a slight limp, but on that day his acting looked as if he had been hurt very seriously. *laughs*
Jin: Yeah yeah, my acting was like I had a real bad wound and thus came out onto the stage too late. *laughs*
Ryô: While I was waiting for Jin, completely alone on stage, I was in a state of shock. *laughs*
Jin: I'm SO sorry!!
Nakamaru: Akanishi is really something.
Yoko: Nakamaru-kun, normally you can do much stronger tsukkomi, what's wrong with you? *laughs* [AN: tsukkomu means to give it to someone verbally]
Ôkura: We talked about this in the last issue, but there's a pattern to Nakamaru's tsukkomi.
Nakamaru: Ah, that's right. 'Hey that's wrong', or 'Baaaaka' or...
Jin: And 'Ora!' with a rolled r.
Nakamaru: I don't have much variation, do I. And my voice is to small.
Yoko: ...hehehe. It's like Nakamaru-kun's words only come through slowly afterwards. *laughs* Oh, which reminds me, I have the feeling I have never heard Nakamaru and Nishikido talk even once.
Ryô: Ah~, we really don't talk to each other.
Nakamaru: That's true. We only greet each other. There wasn't really an opportunity to talk...
Ryô: Just yesterday, when I went to have dinner with Tacchon, I said 'I haven't talked to Nakamaru and Kôki. I wonder why that is...' Why is that so?
Nakamaru: Hm~, I wonder why.
Yoko: Isn't it because you have blood type 0 who does everything in his own pace? Uwa, in this group, everyone except me has blood type 0. Only I have A.
Ôkura: Ah, you're right.
Ryô: Yokoyama-kun has never been able to shut up about the blood type thing, from way back. *laughs* If something happens, he always connects it to the blood type immediately.
Yoko: Exactly, I'm the type to care about blood groups. *laughs*
Jin: Ryô-chan, you don't only talk not much to Kôki and Nakamaru, you also don't talk a lot with the other KAT-TUN members. The only one you often talk to is me, isn't that true?
Ryô: It's because there's not much common ground. I'm the only one who joined the practice late, and I wasn't there for the stageplay with Takizawa-kun, too.
Jin: But you get along with me well, don't you! ... though there was a time when we didn't get along well.
Ôkura: Eh, there was?
Nakamaru: It's like that a lot with Akanishi. *laughs* (Turning to Yokoyama) Isn't it?
Yoko: I don't know, no clue! ... uhahaha, why ask me! *laughs*
Ryô: It's true that there was a time like that. Well, but we don't get along really great now either.
Jin: Mou~, why are you saying that~! *laughs* We're good friends, right!
Yoko: Which reminds me, once Jin came to Ôsaka to have some fun.
Jin: Yep, I did! A couple of years ago, I had a lot of free time and stayed at Ryô-chan's house. During that time, I became an Ôsaka man! *laughs*
Ryô: That was before 'that time'. *laughs*
Jin: Right, right.
Yoko: I also went out to eat with you two back then. After that, we watched a comedy DVD. I remember, I remember! Ah, what fond memories...
Jin: With a friend of Ryô-chan, we went to eat curry, the three of us.
Nakamaru: I'm in the same group as Akanishi, but I didn't know that he had become so involved with Ôsaka. *laughs*
Yoko: Is there anyone on our group that Nakamaru-kun wants to get along with better?
Nakamaru: Hm~. Like I said before, I haven't talked to Nishikido-kun, and to Murakami-kun either. Though I do see Murakami-kun frequently... (after looking at Nishikido briefly) Ahaha!
Jin: He's hard to piss off, isn't he.
Ryô: You, what do you know about me. *laughs*
Ôkura: How about you go out to eat--
Ryô & Nakamaru: (At the same time) Noooo!
Everyone: Ahahaha! You were in tune! *laugh*
Yoko: Come on, go, once!
Jin: Really, try going out together.
Yoko: And you get to be the boke, Nishikido! *laughs* You can be boke as much as you would like to! [AN: I think I already explained that somewhere else, but again, this is from the manzai comedy theatre. This is always done with two people, the tsukkomi who dishes out the verbal abuse, and the boke who gets it.]
Ôkura: Yeah. You'll get tsukkomi like 'Hey that's wrong' all the time. *laughs*
Jin: Oh, Nakamaru, how old are you again?
Nakamaru: 22.
Ryô: One year older than me.
Jin: Hora, Nakamaru is even one year older! Why is it that Nakamaru always seems to be younger? Hey, get your act together!
Yoko: And suddenly, Nakamaru gets complaints. *laughs*
Nakamaru: ... well, it can't be helped.
Yoko: .... hehehe. Nakamaru-kun is really funny~!
Nakamaru: With Tacchon, I get along just fine. He's is very curious. Is there anyone inside KAT-TUN that Tacchon wants to get to know better?
Ôkura: I talk with whomever I want to talk with. Right now, it's okay.
Nakamaru: For example, Subaru-kun and Kôki finally exchanged numbers.
Jin: I got it! Jaa, Nakamaru, then go out with Ryô-chan, Kôki and Subaru-kun!
Yoko: Ah~, that won't work out! *laughs*
Ryô: I just tried to imagine myself having food with those members, but that would really be terrible. *laughs*
Yoko: That's true! The moment that Subaru and Nishikido get involved, it's over. *laughs*
Ôkura: There'll be a clean break between them, right? Kôki and Nakamaru, and...
Yoko: 2-1-1. *laughs*
Nakamaru: Eh, you think so?
Ôkura: Be assured that this is something we know about. *laughs* It's not as if they didn't get along with anyone.
Ryô: Yes. We just don't talk much. That even got said on variety shows...
Nakamaru: But I really want to go out with everyone while we're doing the stageplay.
Yoko: I also want to do that. I've been saying that for around three years now, and we never actually did it!
Ôkura: We're all together, but KAT-TUN isn't.
Jin: It's hard to get us all together. Especially Kamenashi won't come to something like that.
Yoko: Ueda will?
Jin: Ueda will come. Taguchi will also come for sure. Eh, are you interested in Ueda, Yokoyama-kun?
Yoko: I don't talk much with Ueda-kun. It's because he doesn't come to me. *laughs* I think I want to get to know him better. Hey, what can I do to better get along with him?
Nakamaru: That's why we should go out and eat together! Even though I'm not confident that we can get everyone together. *laughs* But for Yokoyama-kun, I'll definitely bring Ueda.
Yoko: Please do! We'll definitely go!

thank you for this translation. it was really interesting.

yokoyama seems to be friends with everyone. i think that he's probably a relaxed type of personality and he has no assumptions of others so he gets along well with them. i bet he became friends with nakamaru because they have a mutual friend (koki).

so ryo and subaru are the ones who are the most difficult to be friends with. it must be because people can't take it the way they talk. i think that's what i love about ryo and subaru. it's funny how they say that if ryo or subaru join a group than they just make everything stop...or something like that.

jin seems so needy and that's kind of cute. his neediness makes people feel that their friendship is important to him.

okhura seems very adult-ish but he's one of the youngest in K8. it was funny when he tried to be cool when nakamaru try to mess him up during dreamboy concert.

i love the story about jin not coming on time on stage and ryo was stuck not knowing what to do. i hope thats the one they recorded and selling on dvd.

i really do think they should all go out and eat or just hang out. i mean K8, NEWS, and KAT-TUN. so kame better come.

thanks for the translation!!

it seems like they were having fun together during this dream boy perforances

and i loved all the stories of them backstage and on stage too lol!!

[Suya]

No one ever seems to get along, huh? I imagine if I were in a talent agency, I'd wanna be friends with everyone. Can't see why not.

Haha, but that was funny though. Love hearing them talk about weird memories and stuff.

Thank you for translating. I always enjoy reading the inter-group conversation. They say a lot about what kind of personalities and relationships exist within Johnny's.

It's funny how Yoko described a hypothetical get-together of Subaru, Ryo, Koki, and Nakamaru as becoming a "2-1-1". I know Ryo and Subaru are introverts and value each other as group members, but I'm kind of surprised that they aren't really close friends in their personal lives. Ryo even mentioned that they are frighteningly alike.
