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!
Uiiiizu!! I'm Takeuchi Junko, the voice of the personality of this show - Uzumaki Naruto!
And the ManPa who's doing this program together with me is!

KABUTO
Orochimaru-sama, do you remember?
I am Yakushi Kabuto.
And yeah! Good evening!
I'm Kanna Nobutoshi, the voice of Yakushi Kabuto DOESU!!

NARUTO
Pleased to be working with you for the 2nd time!

KABUTO
Very pleased!

NARUTO
I just can't help but wonder WHY is it that seiyuu of bad guys are all so cheerful?!

KABUTO
Really!

NARUTO
Really!

KABUTO
Kujira-san's really cheerful too, isn't she?

NARUTO
Yes, she is!

KABUTO
She's like... "Hey you! Bad! Down! Down! Don't do it!", huh?

NARUTO
Yes she was!

KABUTO
Or she goes "Hang in there~~!" to you?

NARUTO
I'm sure we're going to get email and postcards that go...
" Why is Kanna-san so bright and cheerful?"
Or... "Why is he so nice and kind?"
" Why do all the bad guys have such good voice actors?"
I'm sure we'll get some like these!

KABUTO
We will?

NARUTO
Yes!

KABUTO
Please give them to me!

NARUTO
He's really a good person!
So, the question for today!
What is your favourite kind of food, Kanna-san?

KABUTO
I like curry rice and ramen sold in beachside shops!

NARUTO
You /only/ like ramen sold in beachside shops?

KABUTO
Yes.

NARUTO
It's like...

KABUTO
The salt is good there.

NARUTO
Oh yes. The salt is brought to you by the sway of the wind, huh?

KABUTO
It's delicious... and it's hot there... and you just keep sweating.

NARUTO
Do you always go to the beach?

KABUTO
I don't.
The beach is so crowded during summer!

NARUTO
Well isn't it game over for you if you say things like that?

KABUTO
I like the winter beaches.

NARUTO
...isn't it kind of lonely at beaches in winter?

KABUTO
Try standing in a place with nobody and staring out at nothing.

NARUTO
...alone?!

KABUTO
And go, "I AM SO LONELY!!!!!
LONELY AM I!!!!!!!!
SOMEBODY!!!!!"

NARUTO
I am super shocked.

KABUTO
Yup.

NARUTO
In this program, if your mail gets read out your rank will increase accordingly, it's a selection test based on your strength!
Listeners are all Academy Students first.
According to how often your mail is read out, you'll raise to the Genin, Chuunin and Jounin ranks!
If you raise to Jounin, you'll get invited to the studio!

KABUTO
Yay!

NARUTO
So without further delay we shall read out some mails.
Academy Student from Miyagi, Seki Tsumari-san.
Thank you for your mail.
It's a personality quiz.
A ball flies from somewhere and hits you on the head.

KABUTO
Hyuu... CONK!

NARUTO
It wasn't too painful, but you were surprised!

KABUTO
Surprised!

NARUTO
Now then. Where has that ball hit you?

KABUTO
My head!

NARUTO
My... head too.

KABUTO
WE'RE THE SAME!

NARUTO
Like it hit you on the forehead, BANG!

KABUTO
Mine is more like... nearer to the temple... on the right side perspective, here?

NARUTO
Crash?

KABUTO
Yup.

NARUTO
Now then...
Where the ball has hit you, means that that is the part where you have a certain hidden secret!

KABUTO
Like I'm heavier on this side of the head or something?

NARUTO
You mean to say there's something wrong with my head?
But that's true.

KABUTO
My head is kind of bad too.
That's why I have to teach myself stuff.

NARUTO
People who have to teach themself stuff are like that, huh?

KABUTO
That's right.

NARUTO
And with that, let's go WILD all the way to the end today as well!
Give your night to me tte ba yo!

KABUTO
Putting on a cute face and going 'Kyu kyu!'?
We're not having a picnic here!

NARUTO
Music... Care...

RECORDED SONG
Itsu no ma ni yara nigiyaka san!
(They're always bustling with liveliness)

NARUTO
This section depends 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.

KABUTO
This... song is... /really/ cool.

NARUTO
What kind of 'cool'?

KABUTO
Well... from a /certain/ point of view...
It exceeds all of mankind's common sense up to now.
It might sell really well!

NARUTO
Really?

KABUTO
Yeah! It might make it!

NARUTO
It might?

KABUTO
It might become something really cool.

NARUTO
I'm so embarrassed...

KABUTO
And here we have a mail that goes like this.
Academy Student from Yokohama - Hyuuga Kibakuri-san.

NARUTO
Thank you for your mail.

KABUTO
" Good evening.
I'm always listening with great pleasure.
By the way, the opening song of Takeuchi-san for the Music Care section is really popular in my class.
So Takeuchi-san, please write more songs!
We're begging you!"

NARUTO
Well, that's /why/ we're having this section at all!
We're making a song here!

KABUTO
Making a song here!

NARUTO
But I really can't go on with just /that/ song.
So...
That's why I ask the ManPa to help me brainstorm.
But actually this isn't my section anymore.
It's Kanna-san's section.

KABUTO
Who, me?

NARUTO
Yes, you.

KABUTO
Me?

NARUTO
After all, Kanna-san has already taken over my guitar, Ganko-chan.
So Kanna-san shall host this section!
Anyway.

KABUTO
Are you serious?

NARUTO
You can strum well, can't you?
Dishonest guy!

KABUTO
Well I can make the guitar cry a bit, but...
I can't strum!
Do you like Enka?

NARUTO
Enka, you say?

KABUTO
*strums*

NARUTO
Aaa~ Watashi ttara!
(Ooh... I am so...)

KABUTO
Enka is good!

NARUTO
No good!

KABUTO
What about blues?

NARUTO
What do you mean, blues?

KABUTO
*strums*

NARUTO
Ore wa yo... bababa bin!
(I am... bababa bin!)
Choitto choitto choushi ni!
(Getting a little...)
Nochimasete, iei!
(Into this thing! Yay!)
Oh!... something like this?
Wait. Wait.
I just want a nice song.

KABUTO
A nice song.

NARUTO
Whatever will do!
I'd like to hear a song Kanna-san wrote by himself!

KABUTO
A song I wrote?
Lemme see...
What should I sing?
Well, do I just sing it like this?

NARUTO
Go ahead!

KABUTO
Really?

NARUTO
Yes.

KABUTO
Nnn... Iei iei iei~
(Hmm... yea yea yea~)
Mansona... mansona? Chigau de ya!
(Mansona... err, no wait, wrong!)
Masurii paasonaritii...
(The Monthly Personality...)
Kanna Nobutoshi wa...
(Kanna Nobutoshi is...)
Kyou mo maiku ni mukatte...
(Facing the microphone today and...)
Ganbarimasu... waraimasu...
(Trying his best and... smiling his best so...)
Ieieieieieeeeiiiii ieeeieiheeeei~
(Yeaaaa yeah yeah yeah heeeyeah~)

NARUTO
Oh my goodness!!
You've busted my cool-o-meter!

KABUTO
How was mine song?

NARUTO
Super cool!
Onii-chan, you were sho coolz!

KABUTO
I mispronoucned and said mansona instead...

NARUTO
Who cares about mansona! Too coolz!
Why is it that all the ManPa up to now can play the guitar and sing so well?

KABUTO
Is that so?

NARUTO
Makes me feel so bad.
If you remember, I brought Ganko-chan along with me to the NARUTO anime studio before when we were recording, once.

KABUTO
Yes you did.

NARUTO
And Kanna-san went, "What's up with that guitar? Is it yours, Junko-chan?"
And I went, "Yes, although I can't strum it well..."
So you went, "I can't play either! Let me see it please?"
I was like, oh, I've found a friend! And I handed my guitar over.
And it turned out that you could play so well.
You played it so well I was disgusted!
You're not my friend anymore!
I was wrong about you!
Something like that happened once, huh?

KABUTO
But why?!
Be my friend!

NARUTO
But you betrayed me so quickly!

KABUTO
I did?!

NARUTO
You went so high-speed on your strumming!
And it was like... what is this playing! WHAT IS THIS PLAYING?!

KABUTO
But I /really/ don't play /that/ well...

NARUTO
So dishonest!
So anyway, Morikubo-kun is making the song for me.
Morikubo-kun has become the producer, sometime, somewhere, somehow.

KABUTO
He got too involved in it.

NARUTO
Indeed.
And he asked me to practice arpeggio.

KABUTO
Arpeggio.

NARUTO
How should I go about practicing it?
Tell me how, Kanna-san?

KABUTO
First your fingers...
Well, you should use all your fingers but I'm bad with my pinky so I don't use it.
*strums*
Go by sequence.

NARUTO
Why is it everybody can do it so well?

KABUTO
And once you're seasoned enough with this, you'll be able to do hammering and pulling off.
You do it like this.
You shape your fingers like a hammer and hammer down.
And you mix it in with your arpeggio.

NARUTO
Coolz...

KABUTO
It gives off a deeper tone, doesn't it?

NARUTO
No... I think that's too advanced for me.

KABUTO
Really?
You know.
Go to the music shop.
And buy a textbook!
You can learn by looking at the textbook alone!
I learnt all of mine by reading the textbook.

NARUTO
Really?
Just by looking at the textbook you can get so good?

KABUTO
They even teach you how to shiver the note.
Like this?

NARUTO
So that means I can do it by using just thumb, index and middle finger?

KABUTO
Maybe!
And then there's the leisurely type of songs like these.
*strum*

NARUTO
So coolz!
Kanna-san is even coolerz than Morikubo-kun at the moment!
So coolzz!

KABUTO
Really?!
I look even cooler than Shourarou?

NARUTO
Cooler! Cooler!

KABUTO
Oh no, I couldn't twist my tongue right and said Shourarou instead.

NARUTO
Shourarou! Better than Shourarou!

KABUTO
Oh yeah!

NARUTO
So! Along this line... I have a request to ask of Kanna-san.
In this Ouenka song, we'll ask all the ManPa to think of a phrase for the lyrics.

KABUTO
Okay.

NARUTO
We've compiled quite a bit now.
Oh, we'll be eliminating /this/ one though.
So please help think of a phrase... and we'll definitely put it in the song.

KABUTO
I see!
Here I go!
naru zo naru zo
(I can do it! I can do it!)
hokage ni naruto
(I can become Hokage!)
toida yaiba ga oreru made hodo
(As surely as the sharpened blade pierces!)

NARUTO
Oh my. It sounds like it has a lot of hidden meanings.

KABUTO
Naru zo naru zo hokage ni naruto...
See, we got 'naruto' here!
Toida yaiba ga oreru made... ah wait.
Let's not use yaiba here.
Let's use kunai instead!
Toida kunai ga oreru made.

NARUTO
Thank you so much for treating this so seriously!!
Kanna-san is such a good person!

KABUTO
Well if you really must know, I have more gag-like phrases too!

NARUTO
That's all right! We're not trying to make people /laugh/ here.

KABUTO
...you mean this is a serious section?

NARUTO
Very.

KABUTO
I see.
For gag lyrics... I do have some.
Gama-oyabin ga geero geero (Gama-oyabin's croaking goes geero geero), or something like that.

NARUTO
Okay, okay, okay.
No! No go!

KABUTO
Aww... no?

NARUTO
That was cool enough! Thank you so much!

KABUTO
Really?

NARUTO
You didn't think it was so cool?

KABUTO
Not at all.

NARUTO
Well then here's a personal request of my own.
The song isn't done yet.
But we'll be singing it eventually, right?
See, Kanna-san is a music-loving guy who's even got computers set up to make music, right?
Shall we sing together?
Sing together?

KABUTO
Hm... your guitar's a little off-tune.

NARUTO
What's this? What's this?
Trying to change the topic?
Sing together with us?

KABUTO
Ah! It's payday!

NARUTO
Oh! I have go back!
Kanna-san? Kanna-san?
Onii-chan??
Sing with us please?
Just... join in for a while or something?

KABUTO
Well... I'll think about it.
I can't give you an answer immediately.

NARUTO
Aw man, this onii-chan is so damn matured!
Anyway, you'll still be with us for two sessions.
I'll press for your answer during the rest of the shows so!

KABUTO
All right!

NARUTO
We'll definitely use this phrase!
And we're also collecting lyrics from all you listeners out there!
Please give us a hand!
