Naruto Nippon! - Episode 18 2nd February, 2004 ------- Starring: Uzumaki Naruto - Takeuchi Junko Umino Iruka - Seki Toshihiko Mentioned: Haruno Sakura - Nakamura Chie Uchiha Sasuke - Sugiyama Noriaki Hatake Kakashi - Inoue Kazuhiko Orochimaru - Kujira ------- NARUTO We're on air from the studio of the Hidden Leaf, from the other side of the Herz! We're going to have a crunching good time today too! Kyu kyu! Aniplex Hour! Uzumaki Naruto's Oo! Naruto Nippon! Good evening! I'm Takeuchi Junko, the voice of the personality of this show - Uzumaki Naruto! And the ManPa for this month is... Let's read one mail out here. Academy Student from Oosaka, Nageuchi-san. Thank you for your mail. "I listen with great excitement every episode!" Thank you! "I really like Iruka-sensei, but I think he's not been appearing much lately!" Oh dear. "So please get Iruka-sensei's voice, Seki Toshihiko-san to be the ManPa! I'm looking forward to it!" And so with that, because of Nageuchi-san and also a lot of other people... Let's introduce him! The teacher I'm indebted to! The voice of Iruka-sensei - Seki Toshihiko-san datte ba yo! IRUKA ONI WA SOTO~~!!! FUKU WA UCHI~~!!!! (Demons stay outside!! Happiness come inside!!) Hey Naruto!! Why aren't you shouting along?!? Come on, come on!! BOTH ONI WA SOTO!!!!! FUKU WA UCHI!!!! IRUKA Good evening, this is Seki Toshihiko, the voice of Iruka. NARUTO Thank you so much for your powerful entrance. IRUKA This is a pretty suitable entrance for Setsubun, right? (Setsubun is the festival of bean-throwing based on the Lunar Calendar. In 2004, it falls on February 3rd. This current episode played on February 2nd.) NARUTO Yes, it's very suitable. It's already Setsubun, after all. And really, what kind of a person is Seki-san? IRUKA Hmm. I'm generally like this. NARUTO I fell in love with Seki-san first in the studio... err wait... I mean, I met up with Seki-san for the first time in the studio! (she said: hajimete oai o shimashite first, which means 'to start to have love for' when she actually meant to say hajimete oai shimashite, which means 'meet up for the first time.' pun joys!) I thought to myself, hey, what a gentle man this is! But, as I got to know you better... IRUKA I got less and less gentle? NARUTO I was like... hmm... maybe he's not... /that/ gentlemanly after all. I started to form lots of other opinions. Well, let's introduce one mail here. Academy Student from Gunma, Gamaoyabin no Kobun-san. Thank you for your mail. "This is sudden, but I'd like to ask a question. Are there any bad acting or funny anecdotes etcetera in the studios during AFUREKO? Stand up comedy, sit down comedy, whatever! Please tell us about it!" So... Seki-san, according to you... is there any event that stands out to you in the NARUTO studio recordings? IRUKA Well... What do I say... in the studio, Jun-chan and me... Chie-chan (Sakura), Sugiyama-kun (Sasuke) and Kazuhiko-san (Kakashi)... My impression is... What the... why the hell are these people so damned self-centred in how they live their lives?! Everybody like... has their own particular idiosyncrasy... That's why... You know, I think the only person who behaves most like me must be Nakamura Chie-chan. NARUTO The /only/ person? Okay. IRUKA I think Chie-chan and I truly belong to the same planet. You other three must definitely belong to some other planet! NARUTO Why do you say so?? IRUKA You three don't belong to earth! NARUTO Why do you think Chie-chan behaves like you then? Which part of her? IRUKA You see, Chie-chan, she takes note of how people feel normally, doesn't she? NARUTO Wait a minute! The way you're saying it... isn't it a bit rude to the three of us?? IRUKA Oh. Okay, nevermind. Let's put Kazuhiko-san aside. He's our big senpai, right? NARUTO Why?? IRUKA Kazuhiko-san is okay. His existence alone can change the people around him, so let's put him to a side. But as for Sugiyama-kun and Jun-chan... on an entirely different meaning altogether... Both of you have very... /strong/ characters. If I had to be blunt. NARUTO I actually /do/ pay attention to how other people feel - just on very strange topics, you know? IRUKA Issat so? NARUTO HUH?! You! What's with that /tone/?! IRUKA You mean... you can say things like that? NARUTO Huh?? Why don't /you/ tell me /when/ exactly you pay attention to how other people feel, Seki-san?? IRUKA What? Me? Why you little bastard... NARUTO Yay! Bastard! IRUKA Don't say things like that! NARUTO When, come on, when? IRUKA Well, I... err... work hard secretly! NARUTO I won't understand if you do things secretly! Please work hard in such a way that it's easy to understand! IRUKA I understand. NARUTO I see. Anyway, with all of that, none of us understand anything about each other but. Let's listen to the message the previous ManPa - Kujira-san, the voice of Orochimaru, left for you. OROCHIMARU Seki-san. Wigs really suit you. Please wear wigs during your everyday life too. You look cool in them. IRUKA ...don't make me laugh... Oh, err, did you hear me just now? NARUTO Yes we did. Everything. Even the sound of your heart. IRUKA Kujira-san and myself, we often appear as guests in the plays our company often stages. We also do theatrical plays, you see... So yeah, we often appear as guests together. Kujira-san is really a great person. NARUTO I really had fun too. IRUKA She has a really huge heart. Sometimes when I feel sad or anything, I'd go flying into the arms of Kujira-san. And she accepts me firmly too. Yup. NARUTO I also think Kujira-san is a very nice person, after going through one ManPa with her. She didn't say anything to turn the tables against me like Seki-san did during the start of the program too. IRUKA No no! That's wrong! It's just the way I express my love! NARUTO Ah yes. But I'd prefer it if you expressed your love in easier language. IRUKA Aaan. NARUTO Don't say 'Aaan,' and look at the ground!! You're doing a play currently, right? IRUKA Hmmm. NARUTO I'd love to ask more about it later, but anyway let's end this section for today. And with that, let's go WILD all the way to the end today as well! Give your night to me tte ba yo! IRUKA You must have felt so lonely... so terrible... That's what you get for not getting me to be the ManPa sooner!! NARUTO Aniplex Hour This program was brought to you by Aniplex, Sony Music Entertainment and Showa-Note. Aniplex Hour! Uzumaki Naruto's Oo! Naruto Nippon! COMMERCIAL We're gaining popularity! The DVD series is going to be powered up even more from next year on! Our story's burning hot with one new season! And we've got some yet to be seen footages all inside too! NARUTO Second Stage - Scroll One! On sale by Aniplex! 2004 is the Year of Naruto! Aniplex Hour! Uzumaki Naruto's Oo! Naruto Nippon! NARUTO Music Care~ RECORDED SONG Itsu no ma ni yara nigiyaka san! (They're always bustling with liveliness) Unchi tsuitara karouyaka san! (When they're pooing they're so easy-going~~) Denka funifuni Hina ponpon! (Denka's all squishy and Hina's like a pompom~~) Konya mo hajikero daidetsu! (Let's bounce around tonight all the way too~~) Asa ni wa shizuka ni neteru kara! (Since by morning they'll be quietly sleeping away~~) Kyaaa!! NARUTO I thought it may be good for me to listen to the whole thing once in a while. IRUKA Wha... what the... ?! NARUTO You see, I have two cats - Denka and Hina. So I made a song to show my Denka and Hina how much I love them after just starting to learn the guitar for two months. IRUKA So it's a song meant for Denka and Hina? NARUTO That's right! IRUKA That means it's not for humans? I see. You used Neko-language (cat language) for this song? NARUTO I did not. I used Nihongo (Japanese). IRUKA So... what did Denka and Hina do in return after hearing this song? NARUTO They ran away. IRUKA I thought so. NARUTO The moment I started strumming the guitar they ran away like they had a rocket attached on their backs. IRUKA But you really have a very strong character. NARUTO What?? IRUKA Your very nature is really charming in many ways. That's how you settle things, eh? NARUTO Wait a minute... why do I feel like I'm being kicked around-- IRUKA You know, if your cats were to really take that song seriously, they'd be angry! But when it finally ended you just think... ah... Jun-chan's so cute! So... yeah, you have something like that in you. NARUTO Thank you. IRUKA I think it's very good. NARUTO How do I say this... his words are kind and gentle but... everybody, you can't see but... His eyes are really scary. IRUKA No!! So you see, during the opening we were talking about how kind and gentle Kujira-san is, no? Maybe I should try to be more gentle from the Second Stage season onwards? NARUTO But you're just forcing yourself to be gentle like that! IRUKA No! No! I'm just bad at expressing myself! NARUTO But his eyes are so scary. IRUKA Wha-...?! Where? How?? NARUTO I think Seki-san should become more gentle by the time we reach his fourth ManPa. IRUKA My eyes... Whaa?? NARUTO Let's start with this section! This section, as you all know, we're depending on all you listeners for your caring help while we make an Ouenka (supporters') song for this program. It's supposed to be a super three-way mission based on friendship, hard work and victory. So that means I just can't do it alone. By the way, Seki-san, do you listen to songs? Music? Oh my, look at the way his eyes just light up. Seki-san's eyes have become ero-me (erotic-eyes). IRUKA These are gentle-eyes! NARUTO I get it. Okay. I acknowledge it. Very gentle. I like Seki-san! Whee! Even if you don't like me. IRUKA Nothing of that sort! In certain ways I respect you! NARUTO In /certain/ ways? IRUKA We really can't get along well... NARUTO Seki-san is really being very frank. IRUKA Anyway, what was that question again? NARUTO Yes. Songs! Do you have songs you like? Music? Lyrics? IRUKA I have one that I do like... That person who's always... singing sad songs. Sad lyrics, and stuff... When I was doinga play last year for Akingurai... in October? I was listening to Onizuka Chuuko-san all the time then. NARUTO Is it that famous song, that even I know about... *sings and hums* ... something like that? IRUKA Don't make me laugh... who the heck is that? NARUTO I really did sing seriously just now! IRUKA You did? I've never heard anything like what you sang on any program ever before! NARUTO It /IS/ in the show! *hums again* IRUKA Oh please stop already. Anyway, I kept listening to those songs and think that they're very good. Then I bought lots of DVDs and live-events... NARUTO You even bought the DVDs? IRUKA Well... after I watched it I thought I really like it so... NARUTO You mean the lyrics? Or the song? Which one leaves the most impression on you? IRUKA In her case it would be... both... I think? She really has this strong sense of self... NARUTO That's right. IRUKA She doesn't... like... lift herself up on strange gimmicks... I think she really resembles Takeuchi Junko on this aspect. In that sense, yes. NARUTO Really? I'm really happy about what you said just now. IRUKA I mean it. I think you're, well, pretty great. NARUTO Right. Yes. Sorry. It feels a bit... IRUKA I think that I'm like that too, you see! That's true about me too. NARUTO Seki-san you really... IRUKA Know how to curry favour? NARUTO ... DON'T know how to curry favour. IRUKA What do you /mean/? NARUTO The way you chose your words were really kind... well, but... IRUKA Is that so. Oh, that's great! Look, you're starting to praise me more and more! NARUTO Ooh! This is... this is a praise-me-praise-me corner?!? And so with that... do you play instruments anyway? IRUKA And with that? NARUTO We have to speed up. We only have 20 minutes. Do you play instruments? IRUKA I... can't. NARUTO Really. Toshi-kun, don't you see a flute there? IRUKA Oh, really! What's this? It's a recorder! Shall I play something on it? NARUTO Play, play! IRUKA ... Really? *plays a happy marching tune* NARUTO Our late night show has become very wholesome. IRUKA Yes. I was trying to play that Sorashido March just now. NARUTO How sweet... IRUKA I did something like a... flute playing big brother before. NARUTO SOMETHING like that? You /did/ do someone like that, right? Don't say /something/ like that if that's the case! IRUKA It was a long time ago. NARUTO Well at this rate... Then I'll also... My guitar's here too so... IRUKA Oh! Great! NARUTO I have my guitar here too so... IRUKA You do this every week to the guest, I suppose? NARUTO No... it's been a long time since I played the guitar on the radio to everybody. The ManPa always takes the guitar from me. IRUKA That means I'm so super fortunate today? It's like Utada Hikaru! She played a guitar live too, you know? Wow! Cool! NARUTO Please don't look away when saying all that... We're going to have an ensemble. IRUKA Huh? NARUTO You know, an ensemble? Play together? IRUKA Assemble? NARUTO ENSEMBLE. IRUKA I have to use this? NARUTO Let's just have fun playing it. IRUKA But I... what should I do in an ensemble? NARUTO Just play. IRUKA Okay, I'll beat the table. NARUTO No, you play the flute. IRUKA The flute-- NARUTO The flute! IRUKA But you can't even play the guitar properly! What's going on?? NARUTO Speak for yourself!! IRUKA Yes. NARUTO Let's go. I don't know what kind of tune will come out, though. Ready, go! BOTH *plays guitar + recorder* IRUKA Oh wow. What a nice tune we managed to play together! NARUTO Really nice! The power of an ensemble is really cool! I wonder if we'll make it through the radio waves... IRUKA Damned liar! But this section... well, Jun-chan you mentioned it in the resting room just now? Why you chose a guitar for the instrument. Because you can sing while strumming it. NARUTO That's right. IRUKA And why not a recorder? Because you can't sing when playing it. NARUTO I thought about using a harmonica too. IRUKA Ah, a harmonica would be good. NARUTO But a harmonica might make it hard to sing too... So I thought, maybe a violin or a guitar! IRUKA As for me... ah, but a guitar is most suitable for Jun-chan after all. I was thinking maybe an Ukulele would be good... NARUTO I did think of trying an Ukulele. But they say that an Ukulele has four strings and is more difficult! IRUKA Ah, on the contrary it may be so. NARUTO So I stopped. IRUKA I see I see. NARUTO So I got a guitar instead. IRUKA I see. Guitar chords are easier to remember, maybe? NARUTO Although in actuality, I can only strum about four? Three chords? And anyway, in this section, we want to make a song for this program. I've gotten a lot of phrases from the ManPa up till now. We've got everything from shitty phrases to super good phrases... IRUKA Yes, I see it. They're all written here? NARUTO What should I do? IRUKA You really got some shitty ones in here. NARUTO And so. It's been more than three months. I think it's about time we actually /did/ something about it. So, please Seki-san, think of a super good phrase for us now! IRUKA Really?! My gosh, you're really making this song with /these/?! NARUTO Yes, I have to... What should I do... IRUKA And Jun-chan, you'll be singing it, right? NARUTO Yes... IRUKA Will it come out in a CD or something? NARUTO Well... maybe I'll self publish it? IRUKA I see... NARUTO But really. I can't sing it all by myself, having to play and sing all the time? IRUKA Play and sing... yeah. NARUTO I don't know what'll happen after I start singing and stuff too... IRUKA So you want some guest appearances... ? NARUTO Yes. Timing! Timing! IRUKA Yes, yes. So a phrase you want from me. NARUTO Yes. IRUKA You know, lately I've not been able to sleep well. NARUTO Okay. IRUKA So I have some lyrics I've thought up of based on that. Okay? NARUTO Okay. IRUKA This is a serious section, right? NARUTO Very serious. IRUKA Byakuya o... Bya... do you know what what byakuya is? NARUTO Midnight sun. IRUKA They have this in a lot of other songs - the night that never comes. Byakuya o tabishite bonyari to (As I space out and travel through the midnight sun) Kimi o motomete byakuya baka (I search for thee, I am the Byakuya Baka) NARUTO Why... at the end... byakuya baka... I thought at first, wow, what a perfect phrase! And as I went, 'Yes, this is what I want!'... IRUKA Well, it fits Naruto. NARUTO ... Byakuya o tabishite bonyari to... Kimi o motomete byakuya baka... That final 'byakuya baka' at the end seems really hard to pronounce properly. IRUKA But this is really great Japanese. Byakuya Baka. It's got such a nostalgic feel to it. NARUTO Ah... you really said it. Okay, this is in. We'll definitely put this phrase somewhere inside. IRUKA You mean it's definite? NARUTO Yes, definite. IRUKA Oh. I see. NARUTO Well, Toshihiko-san will join in with his flute... IRUKA Our ensemble just now... will it be in too? As the song? NARUTO I don't remember it anymore! IRUKA I see. NARUTO If it goes in, it goes in. Though I've already forgotten it. Oh man, what's going to become of this section!? Listeners, please absolute care for me. I'm depending on all of you. IRUKA So that's why it's called Music Care? NARUTO Yes. IRUKA A section that 'cares' for you? NARUTO Yes, a section that cares for me. It's a section especially for me. IRUKA So that's what it's about! NARUTO And so, not just your requests, any recording, music or MD you want to send, they're all accepted! Send them all in to the Music Care section tte ba yo!!
