16.12.08 グッと！スポーツ Gutto-Sports Update - Aiba Masaki [English translation]

12／8 Updated! Today is about Master in the episode "Boxing Player Inoue Naoya".

Today's update will be focused on Master Aiba.
At first he showed a bit shy smile during OP…
What is it… I'm completely defeated by this smile…

How was the Master rolling the champion belts??
When being made fun with tsukkomi "what a tiny champion"
watching Master being so happy like a teenager we also felt fortunate and satisfied.
I also wanted to put on those belts…

As for Player Yaegashi to came to do the commentary,
Master asked frankly "Are you after a contest? Your face is swollen?"
Because Master and Player Yaegashi have co-performed in the program [VS Arashi] of another broadcaster, Master could ask this question,
a question which a person who first met Yaegashi-san may be concerned about .

The sparring only lasted for one minute but Master has tried his very best.
He had to shorten the distance in order to hit the punch.
However, he was not able to do it because of fear. Experiencing the fear he expressed it.
Lastly, bluffing "it's so-so strong" is also Master-like right??

The part about "carelessness",
Before reading the message of Player Inoue's wife, Master acted a small play of handing the tissue paper to Player Inoue.
It was totally Master's ad-libs!
This was the groundwork for the subsequent part, and the studio was getting more excited.
The letters being read in this program have been delivering a "gentle" feeling thus far, this time it was different.
Master worked hard to make the studio atmosphere high.
Though it was a small act, I am truly grateful about such act which was the spice of the program.

When we add the essence of Master into the director's plan, the studio will get more exciting.
We also hope to produce various performance in this program.
And I look forward to what flavors of performance Master would be able to do in this program.

As I have talked days ago, when they had contest in the boxing ring, they put on the headgears.
It was a bit pity that the hairstyle collapsed…
But still, as Master said in the episode of Player Okuhara Nozomi "My face is my life!",
For safety, they had to put on the headgears.
We shall continue assuring the safety so that everyone would be happy with the program with no injury!

Lastly. Last night Master performed in a music program [FNS] of another broadcaster.
I stared into his performance.
Master showing on TV was really a super idol,
I strongly felt that this is not a person whom you can freely talk to.
But still, he himself is really friendly and easy-going. With this, "I fall in love with him!!"

Tomorrow I shall disclose the comments of Player Inoue after filming!
The next episode will be on 27 December (Tuesday) 19:30~ which will be the year-end special "Player Nishikori Kei and Pitcher Maeda Kenta"!

16.12.08 PON Interview - Aiba Masaki [English translation]

(Aoki announcer came into the room singing "Hello Goodbye")

Masaki: This is my solo song, the audience probably don't know this song.
Aoki: You went to the Kumamoto do make a surprise of mobile zoo for the upcoming episode of "Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen".
Masaki: Yes, when the kids are moved to the temporary houses they have no opportunity to get in touch with animals, many kids can't live with their pets, I want to, even little bit, give some fun to them. As a Christmas present, I brought many animals to the school. Really they reacted to each animal by each and were purely joyful about this, it was great that we did this.

Aoki: So year-end is coming, for Aiba-san's year-end, there is work on concert and TV program and I think you are very busy, though it may be early to think so, what plan do you have on Christmas Eve?
Masaki: Christmas Eve right?
Aoki: Christmas Eve is your Birthday right?
Masaki: Right. Thank you. (Stretch his hand)
Aoki: Oh?!
Masaki: It's my Birthday…
Aoki: Right…
Masaki: Since you raised this topic, I expected if I'd get a Birthday present from you.
Aoki: (Tap his pockets, showing there is nothing with him)
Masaki: Hahaha, so today, it's not yet Christmas right?
Aoki: I have my favourite Arashi DVD, I give it to you later.
Masaki: I have it! I am Arashi. But, every year there are various music programs in this period, Arashi members and staff surely give me blessings.

Aoki: What is the most impressive present you have ever received?
Masaki: When I was 20 years old, I received a song as present, the four other members of Arashi sang this, and made it into a CD, that was very impressive.
Aoki: It is so precious that it will not be even taken out of your house right?
Masaki: Right, it is a song that there is no chance that I'll bring it out.
Aoki: It is surely so.
Masaki: Right.

Aoki: Please give us some exclusive news which has not been disclosed on TV before.
Masaki: Right, it's PON-san, right. Speaking of PON it's the exclusive news.
Aoki: To pinpoint the topic, during Jr. time, you went home together with Ninomiya-san with the same train right?
Masaki: Right.
Aoki: Any episode during that time?
Masaki: Soubusen combination right?
Aoki: Right!
Masaki: Can I not talk about the past episode but talk about something recent?
Aoki: Sure.
Masaki: Our Leader's birthday was on 26 November, I and Nino bought the DVDs of the whole series of an overseas TV drama which we both like a lot and thought that it was interesting. We gave them to Leader as present. We agreed to share the cost. We gave the DVDs to Leader safely and took photo, and said it's good to gift them to Leader. And one week is past, I haven't got the share [from Nino]. It's difficult to mention [it to him], really difficult to mention. [Nino] is the para-regular of PON right? When you meet him please mention it to him.
Aoki: When this is on-air he may be aware of it.
Masaki: Really so?
Aoki: Ninomiya-san, I think it's good for you to pay the share.
Masaki: I wait for you🎵
