18.04.22 Aiba Manabu SP - Aiba & Sakurai Full Interview Part 2

[arashitranslation]

―― How was Sakurai-san’s performance today?
Watabe: From the viewpoint of us, Sakurai-kun can do everything willfully, he has no unguarded moment. But, when I saw him cutting the radish unsteadily, I was like “Ah, seem we can be friends” (giggle). We just had worked together in studio, I didn’t feel much humanness in him, while today the way he cut the radish was really something (giggle).
Aiba: I also know such side of Sho-chan (not good at cooking).
Watabe: I had an image that he could cut it skillfully.
Sawabe: He gave me an image of perfect human, while I felt relieved to see that he was nervous when digging the bamboo shoots and fell on his hips when he pulled the Japanese parsley (giggle).
Watabe: He showed us a kawaii side.
Aiba: We can see this side of him which we usually can’t see in this 1-hour SP this time. You have worked your best, right?
Sakurai: Yup… whether I want to show this side is another issue.
Aiba: Ahahaha! (giggle)
Sakurai: But it’s really unusual that I am surrounded by nature since morning like this, it feels good.
Aiba: The more you get busy, the more refreshing it becomes.
Sakurai: There is one thing I can’t forget since long time ago. Aiba-kun likes location filming a lot, when I was waiting in the vehicle and opened the window, around 30 minutes before the location filming started, Aiba-kun was eating fried chicken outside, and was moving like this all along (Sakurai re-showed Aiba walking around)
All: (giggle).
Watabe: He was restless!
Sakurai: Feeling like “Can the filming start earlier!”.
Sawabe: He was eager! (giggle)
Sakurai: Aiba-kun likes location filming! He loves it (giggle).
Aiba: I like staying outdoor.
Sawabe: Then “Aiba Manabu” is the greatest!
Aiba: Right, the greatest. I look forward to the filming every alternate week!
Sakurai: He could change the aura perfectly.

―― Finally you challenged making soba, how was this hospitality to Sakurai-san?
Aiba: (Sakurai) likes soba, so this corner just fits.
Sakurai: Which step do you start making the soba?
Aiba・Watabe・Sawabe: All, from the very first step.
Sakurai: From the flour…?
Watabe: Therefore, if any step goes wrong it will turn out bad. Even though we thought it’s done, if he cut the soba wrong, the flavour would go wrong and not delicious. All steps are difficult.
Aiba: We make it from square one.
Sakurai: Therefore, in such feeling, in such feeling (giggle).
Aiba・Watabe・Sawabe: Eh?
Sakurai: Making soba from square one is difficult, isn’t it (here Sho-san said Masaki-san’s solo song name “じゃなくて”) (giggle). How many times did you make soba?
Sawabe: We made soba several times.
Sakurai: It’s tough making soba from the very first step, isn’t it (“じゃなくて”) (giggle).
Sawabe: We made soba from the very first step!?
Aiba: It’s normal, isn’t it? This time I’ll start from soup base..
Sakurai: You’re kidding!?(giggle)
Sawabe: Start from soup base.
Watabe: It’s first time starting from soup base?
Aiba: It’s the first time! But, well there is no pressure doing so!
Sakurai: We are at different stage.
Sawabe: Feeling like “We can do it!”.
Aiba: I think we can make soup base with no problem (giggle).
Sakurai: So cool. We can depend on you.
Aiba: Please look forward to the soba treat!

―― At end, please talk about your enthusiasm and the highlight of the episode.
Aiba: Sakurai-kun came as guest in this episode, and we can see a side of Sakurai-san we usually are not able to see. Because we can also know about the seasonal food, I think this is an episode one can enjoy very much.
Watabe: Because I heard that Sakurai-kun likes soba, I think the highlight would be how he could express his love to soba. I hope he would speak his comment frankly. Not just “delicious!”, if he says “this is a bit not good here” the comment would help us improve.
All: (giggle).
Sakurai: You want to absorb the comments!
Sawabe: We still want to grow!
Sakurai: Feel like growing (giggle).
Sawabe: While Aiba-san will be making soba, Sakurai-san at that moment would be highlight too, and please also pay attention to me and Watabe-san chattering behind. We grow up very much!
Aiba: You two don’t cook at all but just cheer for me (giggle).
Sawabe: We don’t (cook), all cooking is done by Aiba-san.
Sakurai: So you two grow in the aspect of chattering!?
Watabe: Only in the aspect of chattering, we are as if we were cooking.
Sawabe: Please also pay attention to that…!
Sakurai: Really with a third party like me in the episode, this time the marvel of these three people stands out. To what extent they grow, to what extent they are amazing, you could once again understand when watching this episode, I would like to see myself as an audience.
