arashitranslation
Q: Ninomiya-san, while last year Aiba-san worked as host, you have worked as host as member of group, while this is the first time you work as host alone.
N: Right. But indeed every year is different, this year Uchimura-san is the Main Host, so I may not be so tense. I hope to work on it happily.
Q: As senpai in terms of host, what advice would you give?
N: Senpai in terms of host? Ah, you mean me? No~ but, I don’t talk much when we five host programme.
All: Giggle.
U: There is work allocation for each member.
N: Right. Probably I have talked about this is the press release last time, I have not said my name before during Kouhaku. Therefore this year this is the first time for me to introduce myself in my own name. All along I said “White Team Host ARASHI”, I haven’t said “Ninomiya Kazunari”, I think it’d be fresh for me to say so this year.
Q: And you would talk a lot in Kouhaku this year?
N: Right, to no small extent than ARASHI, I think I have to speak, but well there are three hosts, I hope to work on this happily. Because there is senior senpai in the Red Team.
Q: I think there is a strong feeling in the White Team that you want to win…
N: Yes yes.
Q: Uchimura-san said that “if you lose, you go back to start as Jr.”.
U: Right, to start again from Johnny’s Jr. Ah, it was Mitsuya-san who said this.
N: Right right, it’s so.
U: Not me, it’s Mitsuya-san who said this. To work hard from Jr.
N: Well he’s talking about the feeling, to work hard from Jr. But really if I become Jr. the current Jr. would feel awkward.
Q: (Giggle).
N: Well well, it’s the feeling, I want to work on it with fresh feeling. But I won’t lose. This year! We’ll win! This year we absolutely are going to win!
Q: Have you thought of the secret to win?
N: Way of voting.
Q: (Giggle). Last year it was bit this and that…
N: Right. Last year was bit like when I noticed it I already died, this year we shall firmly start from the way of voting, and I want to win! Really!
Q: Aiba-kun might have misunderstood it (giggle).
N: Right. Even myself, when I worked as host as member of ARASHI, indeed it as Leader who held the victory flag, I haven’t touched the flag for once.
U: I see, the victory flag.
Q: But Leader is aiming for this…
N: Right, but, even he aims for it, I shall hold it myself. I want to hold it.
Q: Like “I win!”
N: We shall win!
Q: What do you two who have experience of changing clothes think about it?
N: No no, the changing clothes during Kouhaku is bit different from that during ARASHI performance.
Q: Ah, so the changing clothes is different.
N: It’s difficult, difficult thing.

Date: 2017-12-31 03:57 am (UTC)The fact that the voting system changed this year is not because of him but because everyone can see the oddness of the result. So I really hope he won't feel bad about it!
Good luck this year, Nino!! And hold your flag tight so Riida can't steal it >o<)9
And thank you for translating this!
