O-! Naruto Nippon! - Episode 22 1st March, 2004 ------- Starring: Uzumaki Naruto - Takeuchi Junko Nara Shikamaru - Morikubo Shoutarou Mentioned: Yakushi Kabuto - Kanna Nobutoshi ------- 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! Umhm? The cookies in the studio are different today! Aah! The cookies are delicious! And why is that so you ask? It's because we have a special, lengthened 30 minutes section for today! And in the studios, we've invited a special and very appropriate guest for today. Guest, huh? Ah well. Let's bring out our motivation and actively participate in tonight's program! He's Morikubo Shoutarou-san, the voice of Shikamaru! SHIKAMARU Since we have a lengthened session for today, there's no one else to call but me, Shikamaru, who's best at running away! Good evening! I'm Morikubo Shoutarou. I'm Nara Shikamaru. NARUTO Good evening. Thanks for dropping by again. SHIKAMARU No no, I should thank you for inviting me at such an important point of time in the program. NARUTO You're happy? SHIKAMARU I am. NARUTO Happy? SHIKAMARU But this year, I'll suppress myself. NARUTO Suppress yourself. SHIKAMARU Like you know, last year... I think I said too many things without really thinking about it. NARUTO Without really thinking about it! SHIKAMARU Before the microphone, and before everybody. NARUTO Yeah, that's true. SHIKAMARU I repent. NARUTO But... Isn't that dangerous? Wouldn't everybody remember all those words? SHIKAMARU ...will they? NARUTO Of course they will-- SHIKAMARU In everybody's memory? NARUTO Ah. We've probably forgotten cleanly about it. We're making way for new things. SHIKAMARU Then that's good! NARUTO Then that's good!, he says. Hur hur hur... SHIKAMARU Please forget. NARUTO Oh, well. Speaking of which, Morikubo-san. SHIKAMARU Yes. NARUTO When you were the ManPa last year, you said you could count how many pieces of oranges there were without pealing the skin off. You were really adamant about it. So just how many /were/ there anyway? SHIKAMARU Those are the kind of things you should forget. NARUTO Yeah? You see, we might have all forgotten about it, but it still exists in the tape recordings, you know? SHIKAMARU Aww, come on... NARUTO So... Oh yeah! Morikubo-kun, you just had your birthday, didn't you? SHIKAMARU Oh, yes. NARUTO Happy birthday! SHIKAMARU Thank you. I turned 30 this year. NARUTO Yes. SHIKAMARU Yes. NARUTO I've bought you some oranges for your birthday present. SHIKAMARU I don't eat oranges. NARUTO Unwrap, unwrap, busily busily... SHIKAMARU I hate oranges. NARUTO All right! The fact that there are so many oranges means that... Today. You shall enlighten us. How many pieces are there inside? SHIKAMARU Mr. Maric was the one who did it! I only /saw/ it! Let's see... look at the stem... And take it off. NARUTO You mean that greenish... spot on the top... SHIKAMARU Ah yes, I get it! I know how many! Let's go! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Did I miss some? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... Eight! Eight pieces of oranges! NARUTO Eeh! SHIKAMARU Eight pieces. NARUTO That can't be! It's so big and it and only has eight? What're you going to do if you get this wrong? SHIKAMARU ...I'll eat them. I'll eat them. NARUTO I got it. You'll eat them, eh? SHIKAMARU I can't stand oranges. NARUTO But you know, it /can't/ be just eight. SHIKAMARU I /said/ it's eight! NARUTO One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ten. Okay, okay. SHIKAMARU That's not right! Let me try again? I'm kindda, you know, lethargic for today, that's why... NARUTO Say 'aah'! SHIKAMARU Don't count orange pieces when you're lethargic! NARUTO Say 'aah'! SHIKAMARU Thank you. NARUTO Morikubo-kun the fruit-hater! Was that delicious? SHIKAMARU Umm! Yes, very delicious! NARUTO Delicious, eh? SHIKAMARU Yeah, very! NARUTO Good, huh? Then all of these are for you. This program is thirty minutes, after all. Oh dear, it's all mashed up. You can eat all of these, okay? SHIKAMARU And while the thirty minutes progress, you hear me getting sicker and sicker. NARUTO You'll be all right! Definitely be all right! And so anyway, you got the counting for the orange pieces all wrong! SHIKAMARU Yeah, wait, no, I mean... everybody. Try it. NARUTO Everybody, eh? So everybody, try it, and once you find out what's the actual percentage of accuracy, we'll acknowledge this method to be correct. Strange, huh? SHIKAMARU Is this the one? NARUTO So anyway, our previous ManPa, Iruka-sensei's voice, Seki Toshihiko-san left a message for you, please take a listen. IRUKA OSU! Good day! How are you, Shou-chan? Well... yeah. Jun-chan tells me that she can't get along very well with Shou-chan, so... Shoutarou, you're 30 already. Be a little kinder to girls, okay? But you know, the way I see it... Junko-san and Shoutarou... ...both of you behave like twins, I guess. NARUTO ...that's what he said. What do you think? SHIKAMARU He said we're like twins. NARUTO That's what I said he said! I want to know what you think! SHIKAMARU Is it because we're both blood type B? NARUTO You know... Seki-san's words are really kind and nice, but... I think basically he doesn't really like me at all! SHIKAMARU I see. NARUTO So when he says that we're both like twins... SHIKAMARU Does that mean he dislikes me too? Okay, you see, I do work with him on other projects in other studios. I've known him for about 6 years already. NARUTO So long? What kind of a person is Seki-san? SHIKAMARU Seki-san... hmm. He hasn't changed that much. He's got lots of buttons all over the place. But... you don't know when... and where exactly you'll push his buttons. NARUTO Ah. You mean... they move? SHIKAMARU I don't know where either... NARUTO Oh man, I hate buttons that move by themselves! SHIKAMARU But if you go out drinking with him or something, you'll kind of understand his charming side. ...Or should I say, his troublesome side. NARUTO His troublesome side. Anyway, enough of that. And with that, let's go WILD all the way to the end today as well! Give your night to me tte ba yo! SHIKAMARU Sheesh... a radio guest? Kindda troublesome but... guess I'll just have to do it!

It's not a song where you try to make children cry. SHIKAMARU What do you mean?! NARUTO Sing it with a more cute voice? SHIKAMARU Cuter? NARUTO Cuter. SHIKAMARU Itsu no ma ni yara... NARUTO That's gross. SHIKAMARU Hey. You were the one who made me do this! NARUTO Okay. In this corner... We're making an Ouenka song for this radio program while waiting upon the caring help of all the listeners! It's supposed to be a three-way super mission of victory, hard work and friendship! SHIKAMARU Err... you mean the song's not done yet? NARUTO Not yet!! SHIKAMARU You've been doing this song from since a pretty long time ago! NARUTO That is why! That's why for today, we've invited the /artiste/ Morikubo Shoutarou-san to the studio. Waai! And Morikubo-kun has brought his favourite guitar along for today. SHIKAMARU I have. NARUTO It's so huge, this guitar! SHIKAMARU Yes, the body is pretty big. Compared to Junko-chan's. NARUTO Yeah, Ganko-chan is only about this big. SHIKAMARU That's true. So it feels like male and female size? NARUTO Yeah. But Ganko-chan got touched by Morikubo-kun just now. Ganko-chan seems so happy that she can be touched by a guy! Just as to be expected from Ganko-chan. SHIKAMARU She gives out a good sound. NARUTO She does! And if I'm the one using her, she really cries with a good sound. Like this, "Neeyeye". So, about Morikubo-kun's guitar... I'd like to show... I mean, tell all the listeners what kind of guitar it is. It's big, brownish, roundish, hugeish... and why is there a strange wound mark here? SHIKAMARU You mean this? NARUTO Yeah. SHIKAMARU This one. You know, just talking about it makes me want to weep... NARUTO Really? SHIKAMARU My ex-girlfriend struck and damaged it there. Just one month after I bought it! I broke an acoustic guitar back then during a live performance. That was the guitar that had been with me since secondary school! It was kind of second hand, but still! So I wanted another one... And spent about three to four months looking for it. I went to so many instrument shops! Then I found this original Stafford guitar in this Japanese instrument shop called Kurosawa Gakki. At that time it was normal to dream of having Gibson acoustic guitars, but those were too expensive, so I couldn't find any that suited me. So when I found the Stafford I went, hey, I want this! They claimed it was a trial product or something. And the shop was saying it would officially come out soon, or something. So the shopowner introduced me to it... So I bought it, and a month later... It got damaged. NARUTO Why? SHIKAMARU It was a minor misunderstanding. NARUTO Well, I insist asking about what happened. SHIKAMARU Aww... it's like... can I say it? NARUTO Yes. SHIKAMARU Aah... aah... NARUTO What the-... play as you speak?! SHIKAMARU I won't be able to forget it. It was about... 7 to 8 years ago? NARUTO Aah, when you were in your early twenties. SHIKAMARU Yes, early twenties. I was going out with a certain lady. NARUTO Yes. SHIKAMARU You know, when you got to Ishidaka-ya for a drink, they'd give you a packet of sample cigarettes, right? NARUTO Yes. SHIKAMARU About ten in a pack. And they give you some female face tissues too. NARUTO Yes, they do. SHIKAMARU Anyway they gave me some. So yeah, I had stopped smoking then so I threw the cigarettes away when I got home. And the very slim tissues too. But it'd be left in the bin, right? But since I've already threw it away, it didn't really matter to me. No big deal, right? NARUTO That's right. SHIKAMARU So when I wasn't at home. My girlfriend came. And went, 'what is this?'. NARUTO Aaah. And then? SHIKAMARU My just-bought guitar was just around so... I'm telling you, girls are scary. Whatever she aims for - as long as she doesn't like it, it goes up with a POOF immediately. But hey, I was really glad it wasn't the TV she destroyed then. NARUTO So wait. That means, your girlfriend then took out all her anger on you on your guitar? SHIKAMARU With her elbow. NARUTO Her elbow?! SHIKAMARU One shot with her elbow. NARUTO It got damaged just like that? SHIKAMARU She just elbowed it real hard and... And actually she didn't really think it'd break. She didn't think she'd break the body of the guitar so cleanly. So she kind of hid it in the room next door. Then she called me and was so angry... I was wondering why is she so angry? So I asked her... And she explained... and I was like, wait a minute. Those are just samples. And she went, 'Oh... okay, I am so sorry... I did something really bad.' So I asked, 'What did you do?' And she said, 'Look in the room next door.' So I opened the door. I don't have any children of my own, but. It was like seeing the corpse of my child lying there. 'HEY!!!', was what I thought. NARUTO So you managed to fix it back? SHIKAMARU Yes I did. NARUTO I see. SHIKAMARU But it gives the thing a good feeling, doesn't it? NARUTO It does, but... But you wouldn't even /imagine/ that something like that happened to it, with that wound! SHIKAMARU The wound in my heart has healed already, too. My guitar too. NARUTO So it's all healed. And so... what's the name of your guitar? SHIKAMARU This? It's... you know. Emiko. NARUTO You only just named it just now, didn't you? So it's Emiko-chan. Emiko-chan, you've got a good body. Very pretty! SHIKAMARU Glamourous, isn't she? NARUTO Very glamourous. SHIKAMARU Like that. NARUTO I see. I wonder if all you listeners understand too? About Morikubo-kun's guitar? SHIKAMARU You know, if we keep talking about things like that, I don't think the song can ever make progress. NARUTO I get it. So tell me some tips so that I can strum or pluck the guitar better, please? SHIKAMARU Tips, huh? So... how are you doing with it lately? How about playing a bit for me, Junko-chan? NARUTO Lately I've been able to move out of the G chord! And then C chord! And then... like this... Finally... eh wait, I did this. This is the one, right? SHIKAMARU Err, wait. NARUTO This one, right? SHIKAMARU That's enough. NARUTO Huh? Why? SHIKAMARU That's enough. I think, if you go on like this... the song can't be written. NARUTO But why?? SHIKAMARU If you go on like this... I think you'll never be able to finish the song. NARUTO What's wrong with me? SHIKAMARU You see... You haven't improved at all. From since the last I saw you? Yeah. NARUTO Darn, I got found out. SHIKAMARU Okay okay. I get it. NARUTO Yes. SHIKAMARU Let's not try the difficult chords. NARUTO Yes. SHIKAMARU Junko-chan, try this. *strum* Practice strumming it like your life depended on it. NARUTO Strumming like my life depended on it. SHIKAMARU A big, forceful strum. It'll have a nice sound. Yes, like that. Yes, yes, like that. Make sure the sound comes out right. Practice making nice sounds come out of it. NARUTO Darnit! SHIKAMARU Yes, like that. Just think about that while practicing. NARUTO Is there anything I can practice that's a bit more pro-like? SHIKAMARU No no, don't. I don't think it'll ever end like this. The song can't be written if you go on like this. NARUTO Then, can I ask you a personal question? SHIKAMARU Sure. NARUTO I don't know any chords besides the G and C. Like, A, or F... or something-minor, etc. Is it better for me to learn those chords as well? SHIKAMARU No. NARUTO No need? SHIKAMARU No need. NARUTO Really? SHIKAMARU You don't have to. It's cool! You can strum most songs with just the G and C chords. NARUTO It sounds... too simplistic. SHIKAMARU Just try to strum hard. It's all right. Strum like your life depended on it. NARUTO Really? Okay. SHIKAMARU Just think of how you can give advancement to this project. NARUTO I understand. But speaking of advancement, I think that it's impossible for me to advance it myself. You can tell too, right? My... abilities. And that I'm always trying to find the easy way out. So that's why we got Morikubo-kun here today. SHIKAMARU Yes. NARUTO To cut a long story short. Please become the song's composer. ...What. What's with that dark... guitar strum?? SHIKAMARU I've been waiting. I'VE BEEN WAITING! NARUTO REALLY?! You mean it?! SHIKAMARU You should've asked me earlier!! NARUTO Oh man! SHIKAMARU Really! NARUTO Oh shucks, happy birthday!! SHIKAMARU That's too exaggerated. NARUTO You'll write the song for us? SHIKAMARU I've been waiting for you to say that! You should've asked me earlier! NARUTO Really? Then, then you've thought about something already or what? SHIKAMARU I've been thinking a lot about it. All the different styles, my-style, etc. NARUTO Your style. SHIKAMARU I was wondering if you'd ask me to do it or not... NARUTO Really? You'll write it for us? SHIKAMARU Of course. But what kind of genre... would you like? It's an ouenka, right? NARUTO Yes. Something cheerful. SHIKAMARU Something cheerful. There are quite a lot of cheerful genres around. NARUTO ...I don't know. SHIKAMARU Rock? Or hip-hop? NARUTO Well... Well I'm going to be singing this as Naruto, right? Then since Naruto is singing this... how about a genre that's easy to sing? SHIKAMARU Maybe... a song with a fast tempo... Something punkish? Punk-like. NARUTO Punk? What's that? *sings*...something like that? SHIKAMARU Umm... yes, yes, something like that. NARUTO Really? SHIKAMARU That's the image it gives. NARUTO Really? SHIKAMARU Something that feels like you need to put a lot of effort in singing it. NARUTO For example? *sings* SHIKAMARU You know, umm... sometimes I take my guitar out and switch on the radio to strum along with it. But I'm not too reliable about these things. NARUTO I see. Yes, you did mention something like that before. SHIKAMARU I don't know any song that sounds like that, you see. NARUTO I see. Then, Morikubo-kun, do you have any songs of your own? SHIKAMARU Of course I do. Lots of them. NARUTO Then strum us one of yours. SHIKAMARU What would you like to hear? How about this? It's graduation season now, right? So let's see... itsu mo (I'm always) ashita ga kuru no ga machi doshikute (Looking forward to the coming of tomorrow) yo ga akeru no o matte ita (Waiting for the time when day breaks) demo ima wa (But now I'm) ashita ga kuru go no o nanda ka kowakute (A little scared about the meaning of tomorrow) fuan no katamari sa (It makes me so uneasy) Like this. NARUTO OH WOW! Just like a pro! SHIKAMARU It's graduation season. NARUTO Wah! SHIKAMARU So this song feels like graduation. NARUTO By the way, that genre is this song? SHIKAMARU This is... pop. NARUTO What about rock? SHIKAMARU Rock is... a bit more... Junko-chan, you were talking about the strong strumming. If you want rock, that's how you should strum it. NARUTO I get it. I do get it but... I really don't listen to songs so... I don't really get it at all. SHIKAMARU Don't worry. Just leave it to me. NARUTO Really? So... since Morikubo-kun will be composing the song for us, what should I do? SHIKAMARU Well, we're doing guitar, right? You want to strum the guitar, right? So just strum like what I said just now... But just that alone isn't going to be interesting, so... Just one thing more. Arpeggio. Just G and C chords will be okay. NARUTO Okay. SHIKAMARU How should I put it... *strum* Like this. NARUTO *strums* SHIKAMARU Yes. That's half my volume. NARUTO Isn't this a bit difficult? This makes me remember something. I think about last last week? Seki-san and I had an ensemble with the guitar and recorder. And when we played it on the radio, one of the listener's father in the house said, 'What in the world is this out-of-tune song?!', and switched the radio off. Maybe he switched the radio off because of just now too? SHIKAMARU Anyway, just practice this. NARUTO I get it. SHIKAMARU We'll make this into the highlight of the song. I've already got most of the song ready in my head. NARUTO Already?! SHIKAMARU Yes. NARUTO So I'll just practice strumming and arpeggio. SHIKAMARU Just those will be enough. Just those and people will be like, Takeuchi Junko is so good with the guitar! We'll make the song into something like that. NARUTO Wait, that's not going to eventually become an inside story about the song, will it? SHIKAMARU It's all right. NARUTO It's all right? SHIKAMARU It's all right. NARUTO I get it. SHIKAMARU Just leave it to me. NARUTO Then... when will Morikubo-kun drop by again? SHIKAMARU I wonder when. I really intend to write a song for this. NARUTO Yes, you'd better. SHIKAMARU You want to shape up this segment too, don't you? NARUTO Yes I do. I do, I do. So Morikubo-kun will be the composer, and you'll sing too, right? SHIKAMARU Yes, okay. Just leave it to me. NARUTO Really? SHIKAMARU I'll compose everything. I'll do everything for it. NARUTO REALLY?! You'd do everything? SHIKAMARU Yes, so that something can come out. NARUTO Oh... are... oranges enough for thanks? SHIKAMARU I want pudding. NARUTO Pudding. Then when you next drop by... SHIKAMARU I want strawberry mousse. NARUTO I'll prepare them. SHIKAMARU Something creamy. NARUTO ...I see. Thank you. So we'll leave the composing to Morikubo-kun... and I'll practice strumming and arpeggio... Thus, the Oh! NARUTO Nippon! Ouenka Project will finally be able to advance forward! SHIKAMARU /Now/ it advances?! NARUTO Please look forward to the song! Aniplex Hour! Uzumaki Naruto's Oo! Naruto Nippon!

(Special Mission: Futile Revelations) In this special mission we'll have our special guest Morikubo-kun perform a job from the request list. When Morikubo-kun was the ManPa, he took on this mission before but he adamantly refused to exert himself and therefore he did not do anything at all in the end. So his mission back then was considered to have failed. Therefore, he shall have to carry out the mission one more time. SHIKAMARU I didn't refuse to exert myself! NARUTO You did! SHIKAMARU Why do you say so? NARUTO What you said back then couldn't be used at all! SHIKAMARU Actually to tell you the truth... I'm sorry but I completely forgot what I said back then. NARUTO This guy is too much! He was reading the newspapers! He really was! SHIKAMARU What do you mean, I was reading the news? NARUTO You were going all 'I need to find info from here' while reading the papers! But even after that all you uttered was something nobody could use for anything! Then you just went 'I can't do this! I can't! I can't!' Just /what/ was that anyway?! SHIKAMARU Well... what... what do you want me to do then?! NARUTO You said this the last time you came... SHIKAMARU Yes. NARUTO We have it on tape evidence here. Please take a listen. -- SHIKAMARU I simply cannot ad lib for my life. NARUTO Yes. You. So the next time we get you here for the monthly personality we'll definitely have a script so- SHIKAMARU If you have everything written in a script from start to end, I'll do as many as you want. NARUTO Why is this guy so good-for-nothing?! SHIKAMARU Even if it's a cool guy, or if you want me to gasp and breath hard... If it's in the script, I'll do it. Really. NARUTO ... I don't need you to gasp and breath hard. -- NARUTO There we go. SHIKAMARU This guy sucks. NARUTO He sucks! Since he sucks so much, I've done all the thinking for him tonight! SHIKAMARU You mean this. NARUTO There are two versions. As mentioned, one of it is cutesy and the other is cool. I've written both scripts in order to induce screams and squeals from girls when it's read. SHIKAMARU I'll try it. NARUTO You will? But I can help you think of something even greater than what's written there if you want- SHIKAMARU No. No! Enough! NARUTO Thought so. Now then. You mentioned it before in Oh! Shikamaru Nippon, eh? Shikamaru-san will do any, any, anything as long as he has a script! So I've written you one and that's what you're holding there. Do the first one! Morikubo-kun, please carry out your first special mission! SHIKAMARU Bicycle! Bicycle! Kyu kyu! I am Shou-chan! I am 30! There are so many cars today! Shou-chan doesn't know what to do! Oh well oh well! Shou-chan will be late! People, being late is bad! Yay! NARUTO How was it? Was it cute enough? SHIKAMARU Thank goodness I'm only voicing it. I was just wondering... though... if the people listening will actually find it interesting? NARUTO Of course they will! After all, Morikubo-kun's image is all cool and stuff... Letting you say things like bicycle! bicycle! makes you kindda idiotic, huh? SHIKAMARU Now I'm mad! NARUTO One more script! It's a cool script. Morikubo-kun, please voice it with your coolest voice. Very cool voice! The girls should all start screaming just hearing that cool voice! SHIKAMARU I'm sweating cold sweat. NARUTO Let's go! Special Mission Version Two - please! SHIKAMARU Sometimes you feel like you need another's warmth. There'll be a day when you'll feel that way... somehow. This is how one of my favourite stories go: I stretch towards the morning sun as it rises, making and drinking coffee. ...hmm... I don't think I stretch 'towards' the sun... I whisper into her ears - she, who is still dozing off in bed... Softly I go, 'Good morning, my little kitty...' She stares into space as she stretches. She looks at me. I kiss her slightly blushed cheeks against pale, white skin as I... ...tickle tickle tickle oooh my troublesome little kitty~~ What's wrong? C'mere and lemme tickle tickle tickle! NARUTO Yeah! That was cool! SHIKAMARU So... okay? This enough? NARUTO Okay! So the next time you drop by, please think about it for yourself. It was really tough for me to think of the lines for you! SHIKAMARU So that's what it's about? I still don't really get it, but anyway I did it, so... okay? NARUTO It's okay for today. SHIKAMARU Okay for the program? Good. NARUTO You can do even more hair-raising ones next time, it's okay with me! But anyway, the mission is finally accomplished! Great! That was the Kougaimuyou no Special Ninmu! Aniplex Hour!

Only those who buy the pre-order tickets will get to have one! Only 50,000! NARUTO One watch per ticket? MINAMI Yes, that's right. NARUTO I see. So if you buy three tickets you'd get three watches? SHIKAMARU Three watches! NARUTO If you want five watches you'd have to buy five tickets. MINAMI Please buy five tickets! NARUTO It's first-come-first-serve so you have to buy the tickets quickly? MINAMI Yes, please do. NARUTO I understand. I'll go buy some too! Thank you very much, Minami-chan! MINAMI Thank you very much! NARUTO I have an announcement too! I'm voicing the lead in a drama CD - Taketori, which is now on mail-order sale through Radio Oosaka! Please support and buy! For more details about the mail ordering, please visit the vstation homepage! I'm counting on you for Taketori! There, it's done. And the next monthly personality we're all so concerned about? It's Kanna Nobutoshi-san, who voices Kabuto! SHIKAMARU Mm! NARUTO So Morikubo-kun, please leave a message for Kanna-san! SHIKAMARU Nobutoshi-san. I'm going. I really am going. So yeah... I'm going, so... Please tell me which day's good. NARUTO Where're you going to? SHIKAMARU I promised Kanna-san I'd go his house. NARUTO Really? SHIKAMARU I've been using the computer to compose some music lately at my own house, and I managed to introduce him to it, so he also started to try it out, but... It seems like he can't connect the equipment correctly. So I'm going to his house to... NARUTO To help him connect his stuff. SHIKAMARU Yes, yes. NARUTO You sound like you're going there to work. SHIKAMARU Indeed. NARUTO Well, I'll ask Kanna-san for the details next month when he comes. And so with that, thanks for today, Morikubo-kun! Happy 30th birthday! SHIKAMARU Thanks. The oranges were delicious. NARUTO Your orange-counting skill was completely off. SHIKAMARU I still think it's strange... NARUTO So please compose a song for us. SHIKAMARU Yes yes! Yes. I'm really going to do it. NARUTO Really? SHIKAMARU Please look forward to it. NARUTO You're really doing it, right? SHIKAMARU Leave it to me. NARUTO We all believe in you! SHIKAMARU Yes. NARUTO We all do. So do I. SHIKAMARU Wha? You don't want me to write the song, do you?? NARUTO We're now at the end of the show. I caught a cold! It's so hard to talk when your nose is running away! So I'll fix it up by next week! See you again same time next week! You've been listening to Takeuchi Junko and! SHIKAMARU Morikubo Shoutarou! BOTH Bye bye!
