MC: Kinki Kids’ Domoto Koichi-san. Thank you.
S: Thank you.
Domoto-san: Thank you.
S: Originally, today, Kinki Kids’ two members are scheduled to perform, since Domoto Tsuyoshi-san is not feeling well, Koichi-san will perform alone. Koichi-san, please say a word to us.
Domoto-san: Really sorry, we really bothered many people, while staff really respond to this situation flexibly and let me perform in this way.
S: We look forward to Tsuyoshi-san’s quick recovery.
Domoto-san: Right so.
MC: This year Kinki Kids’ two members are having their 20th anniversary since debut, 20 years ago you performed “Bokura no Yuki Miman City”, this summer, there will be a sequel “Bokura no Yuki Miman City 2017”.
Domoto-san: Yes. 20 years, when the drama ended, there was a script “let us meet 20 years later”. This sequel makes this script come true.
MC: Yes. And then, Aiba Masaki-san and Matsumoto Jun-san who perform in the drama also come to this stage. Thank you.
M: Thank you.
A: Thank you.
S: Aiba-kun, the filming is already going on, right?
A: Right, now in perfect progress.
S: How is the atmosphere?
A: Really 20 years, this was the first drama I acted, now I can perform in it again, and I work on it with the two member of Kinki, I feel that this lets them … lets me learn a lot.*
S: “Let them learn?”
M: “Let me learn.”
A: I feel that “this lets me learn a lot”. I apologise.
S: Matsumoto-kun, what do you think about the atmosphere of the site?
M: This noon, Tsuyoshi-kun called me and said “Sorry”, “Thanks for your assistance”. His voice was as usual.
Domoto-san: He is genki.
S: So, the theme song of the drama “Bokura no Yuki Miman City”, “Rather than being loved I want to love”, Aiba-kun and Matsumoto-kun as stand-in of Tsuyoshi-san shall, together with Koichi-san, perform this song.
Domoto-san: Sorry, I asked them for assistance in short notice, but if I have to find stand-in I can only think of them.
S: Because they perform in this drama.
Domoto-san: In such short notice, really thank you.
M: This is the most nervous moment.
S: We look forward to it.
Domoto-san: It’s encouraging.
