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 Naruto, the personality of this show!
And, thank you to everybody who came for the NARUTO Shop on May the first!
But we're going to have this Shop until the fifth!
So please come lots to play!
And now, it's May!
The much anticipated ManPa for May is... before that let's have this postcard read.
Academy Student Uchiha Kubomi-san from Kanagawa.
Thank you!
"Takeuchi-san, good evening!"
Good evening!
"I listen to the radio every week with excitement!
I really like Sugiyama-san, who voices Sasuke.
Every week, when I'm listening, I wonder, aa, when will it be Sugiyama-san's turn for the ManPa?, and wait for him!
This is just a request from small me,
but please get Sugiyama-san, who voices Sasuke to be the monthly personality!
Please do!"
All right!
Let's go!
And so, let's introduce him!
My rival! Uchiha Sasuke's voice, Sugiyama Noriaki-san datte ba yo!

SASUKE
Hn. Usuratonkachi, I'm here now.
(usura = dim-wit, tonkachi = hammer, usuratonkachi = i have no idea. ask sasuke if you see him, won't you? XD)
And so!
Good evening. I'm Sugiyama Noriaki, voicing Uchiha Sasuke.

NARUTO
Yep! And so Sugiyama-kun, it'll be a pleasure to learn lots from you this whole month!

SASUKE
Pleasure's all mine!

NARUTO
You know, Sugiyama-kun, this is your first time on a radio show like this?

SASUKE
Yes, it's my first time.

NARUTO
So like, are you nervous?

SASUKE
Very.

NARUTO
In fact, before Sugiyama-kun was called to come in May, we had a lot of other personalities.
And they were all thinking... "Can Sugiyama do this? Can Sugiyama do this??"
Everybody was so worried for you!

SASUKE
Yeah, it's true. My ad lib is terrible.

NARUTO
But you know, you talk a lot in the AFUREKO when we're together like this anyway.
So there's no difference then from now, really.

SASUKE
No difference, true, but you know...
You get this, everybody's listening feeling and then...

NARUTO
Ah, oh no.
I thought I'd have forgotten all about that kind of first-time feeling already!

SASUKE
Yes, so, you should understand why I'm nervous, no?

NARUTO
Nervous you may be, but still, try to have a good time on the program!

SASUKE
That's true.

NARUTO
And! The ManPa for last month, Nakamura Chie-chan, voicing Sakura, has left a message for you.
Let's have a listen.
Please.

SAKURA
Sugiyama-san!
You've been waiting for this!
Every since this program began, Sugiyama-san and I have been wondering, "When will we get called to the show? When will we get called to the show?"
Especially after Sugiyama-san heard that I was called, you gradually began losing your smiles...
You must have been very worried!

SASUKE
No no, nothing of that sort, nothing that sort.

SAKURA
I've warmed the seat up for you.
It's really an enjoyable program!
Please have all the fun you can!

SASUKE
Yes, I'll have fun.

NARUTO
Chie-chan's so cute, isn't she?

SASUKE
Yes.

NARUTO
She said she warmed the seat up for you.

SASUKE
Oh yes, that's true.
It still seems so hard to believe...

NARUTO
Isn't that right!
But it was the first time Chie-chan was doing a show like this too.

SASUKE
Oh really?

NARUTO
But you know, when you talk with that girl about cats she won't let you off so easily!

SASUKE
Is that so.

NARUTO
Well anyway let's leave the kitty talk for later!
Everybody, please wait for it!

SASUKE
Please wait for it!

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

SASUKE
I have an ambition.
The revival of my clan,
and the hijack of this radio show.

NARUTO
And now, let's listen to a song!
The NARUTO opening theme, GO!!! by Flow!

[song]

NARUTO
You were listening to GO!!! by Flow!

Uzumaki Naruto's Oo! Naruto Nippon!

NARUTO
Music Care!
Right.
This section supposed to be a super mission which tries to make an Ouenka image song from all the listeners' 'caring' help, scattered all over the place.
(Ouenka = cheering, encouragement song)

SASUKE
I see.

NARUTO
This was a song I composed.
A song for Denka and Hina.

SASUKE
A song for Denka... and Hina.

NARUTO
That's right.
When they're pooing they go 'Kyu kyu!'
And then they travel all around like 'tatatata' on the sand they're doing it on.
And that's why I made sure to leave that imprint in the song.

SASUKE
I see!
When I listened to the show previously, I kept wondering, "What in the world is that Kyu Kyu thing?"
Although I can't say it out in a loud voice...

NARUTO
Can't say it out...
You see, after Denka is done with his business, he goes Kyu kyu!

SASUKE
I had this doubt for a long long time.
What in the world is that Kyu Kyu thing?

NARUTO
And sometime later in this program we'd always say Kyu kyu.
It's written, come on! It's written on the script!

SASUKE
I see.

NARUTO
So I have to say it.

SASUKE
That's right.

NARUTO
And anyway, this section of the program is Music Care.

SASUKE
Music Care.

NARUTO
It's a program where we try to compose an Ouenka.

SASUKE
Ouenka.

NARUTO
To put it simply, we're supposed to ask Sugiyama-kun to think of one phrase for the song.
But before that.

SASUKE
Before that.

NARUTO
Are you interested in guitar, or music, or something to that effect?

SASUKE
Well, yes, I do.
But I have absolutely no talent with musical instruments.

NARUTO
And so, today, my guitar Ganko-chan is here as well.
And you shall now hold her in your hands...

SASUKE
In my hands...

NARUTO
And show us just how much you cannot play the instrument!
Yaay!

SASUKE
Yaay! ... It's all right to say that but...
I really don't know how to play this.

NARUTO
That's all right.

SASUKE
I mean like, I don't even know a single chord?

NARUTO
That's all right.

SASUKE
Eto...
*strum*
Eh? This, eh?
I mean, eh?

NARUTO
She's got a nice sound, doesn't she?
Ah, that's really terrible!

SASUKE
Thank you for listening!
No no!
I don't know what you're thinking but-

NARUTO
I really like Sugiyama-kun!
He's even worse than me at the guitar.

SASUKE
Is /that/ why you wanted me to play it?

NARUTO
It's rare!
Not everyday you see someone like that.

SASUKE
Aa, but you know, sometimes in your life you'd feel like buying a guitar because you just want one.
And I did buy one.
So you know, by myself, at night?
When I try to play it, because I'm terrible at it, when I hear myself strumming I get embarrassed.

NARUTO
I so understand that.

SASUKE
I mentioned it before, didn't I?
That's why since then, I've just closed it, and kept it for backup.

NARUTO
When did you buy that?

SASUKE
I wonder when...
About ten... years...

NARUTO
Like when you were in High School?

SASUKE
No! After I graduated from High School.

NARUTO
After you graduated?

SASUKE
I mean, really. I even bought a keyboard because I really wanted one.

NARUTO
Ooh! You bought it!

SASUKE
Yes.
I'm the kind of person who, if, there's something I want, I'd go straight towards the target and buy it.
And so, yes, I bought it.
When I tried to play it like this...
Ah, I thought to myself, I can't play this.
And for keyboards, they have reference books, right?

NARUTO
And so you bought it?

SASUKE
I bought some and tried it out, but...
My fingers just couldn't keep up.
I went like, eh? What? Huh?, when trying to play.

NARUTO
Eh, so you thought you could achieve something by self-studying like that?

SASUKE
Hmm, but you see, by myself I...
Like, if there's someone willing to teach me then I wouldn't need to strain so much...

NARUTO
... wouldn't need to strain so much...

SASUKE
But no, there was no one.
So normally, you'd think to yourself, that's all right, I'll do this by myself.
So I did that and...
I couldn't learn or remember anything.

NARUTO
So your keyboard and guitar... in the end they remained in your house?

SASUKE
Yeah...

NARUTO
Oh! Cool!
Eh, so, give them to me as a present?
For everybody here-

SASUKE
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
Wait! Hm!
I don't use them but-

NARUTO
Yes, you don't, so how about donating them to the program?

SASUKE
Ah wait! No, cut me some slack!

NARUTO
But yes, yes...
Even if you have no use for it since it's yours you'd want to cherish it right?

SASUKE
You know, like, I'd bring them out sometimes and would want to try playing them.

NARUTO
Yes, I understand that.

SASUKE
I'm sorry. 'Playing' them is a bit wrong.
'Making noise out from them' is probably more suitable.

NARUTO
Yes! I so understand that!

SASUKE
Yes.

NARUTO
I see.

SASUKE
Yes.
But wait, we're making a song here, right?

NARUTO
Yes we are.
But the composing of the song itself has been tasked to Morikubo-kun (Shikamaru).

SASUKE
Ah, Morikubo-san.

NARUTO
But as for the lyrics, we're collecting them from the listeners and also!
We'll always ask the ManPa for one phrase to put into the lyrics.

SASUKE
Ah, yes... so this is... an Enka song? Oh! Enka?
(Enka = modern Japanese ballad)

NARUTO
No!
You know, Kazuhiko-san really drew the punchline here.
Because Kazuhiko-san said Oh! Enka!, the lyrics all began slanting towards Enka-type lyrics...

SASUKE
But Kazu... I mean, Inoue-san?
He strummed us a... "Ikazuribune no akari ga nijimu (the Miner Layer reflects a rainbow light)," and it's... pretty normal?

NARUTO
Ain't that right?

SASUKE
That wasn't really Enka, was it?
That was really sly of him, eh?

NARUTO
Sly indeed!
But it was too Enka. He was too Enka.

SASUKE
But the lyrics...

NARUTO
And so. Today, we'd like to ask Sugiyama-kun to think of one /serious/ phrase for an Ouenka song.

SASUKE
An Ouenka song, right?

NARUTO
Yes.

SASUKE
Ouenka...

NARUTO
Naruto is going to sing this song, so I guess...

SASUKE
Oh, Naruto's going to sing this song?

NARUTO
Yes he is.

SASUKE
Oh I see.
So sorry, I didn't know that.

NARUTO
When the song is done will you join us?

SASUKE
Like, Paku-san (Temari) was really against the idea, wasn't she?

NARUTO
Yes, she was, but I'm dragging her in anyway.

SASUKE
She even said something like "Wait a damn minute!", right?

NARUTO
She did.
But she said she'd do it. Like, "I'll definitely do it."
Chie-chan said she'd join in too.

SASUKE
She did?
Well, if you think me to be good enough...

NARUTO
We're letting the boys harmonize so...

SASUKE
Oh, like you'll make us sing 'Do-aaaa' or something like that?

NARUTO
Hey wait wait wait...
What do you mean, 'Do-aaa'??

SASUKE
I don't know either!

NARUTO
That's not Ouenka-like at all!

SASUKE
Indeed it is not.
Hm... I see...
All right. Is this good? Can I say it now?

NARUTO
Yes you may!

SASUKE
Then...
"Ano hi kimeta yume ni itsuka." (Towards that day, one day, of a dream fulfilled)

NARUTO
... Oh wow!

SASUKE
What do you think?

NARUTO
That's great!

SASUKE
I mean, this'll be quite easy to use, right?
In an Ouenka song.

NARUTO
Towards that day, one day, of a dream fulfilled...

SASUKE
If I provide anymore than that then it may be difficult to connect with the other lyrics so-

NARUTO
WONDEFUL! WONDERFUL! SUGIYAMA-KUN IS SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON!

SASUKE
Not at all...

NARUTO
HE'S REALLY A WONDERFUL PERSON!

SASUKE
Thank you.

NARUTO
THOSE WERE SUCH OUENKA-TYPE LYRICS!!

SASUKE
Isn't that right?

NARUTO
Thank you!

SASUKE
But definitely!
The next person who hears this will be like, "What the-... this is such a 'i promise you' type of phrase..."

NARUTO
It's all right!
We're really trying to make a serious Ouenka song here!

SASUKE
Oh I see!
I understand.

NARUTO
Thank you!
So we'll put the lyrics we got from Sugiyama-kun somewhere in the lyrics and make us this song, so everybody, look forward to it!

SASUKE
I'm looking forward to it...

NARUTO
We're still collecting all your feedback!
Encouragement messages to Takeuchi Junko, lyrics and phrases, etc, send them all and more into the Music Care section!

SASUKE
Yes.

NARUTO
Question-and-Answer section!

SASUKE
Questions, all right.

NARUTO
Yaay!

SASUKE
Yaay!

NARUTO
Sugiyama-kun, who's always doing cool roles, like Sasuke, no? But cool though he may be he becomes a bastard with a slight change, so yeah, roles like that.
So what's Sugiyama-kun, the voice behind all this, really like? Everybody's really wondering.

SASUKE
Is that so?

NARUTO
We got a lot of mail about that.

SASUKE
Thank you very much.

NARUTO
And so.
Let's have some read out.
First we have from Kanagawa, Hachouneko-san.
Thank you for your mail.

SASUKE
Thank you for your mail.

NARUTO
It's a personality quiz.

SASUKE
Personality quiz?

NARUTO
Yes.
You are Momotarou.
Your retainer is... a cat, a monkey, a hawk, a bear.
Line these four retainers in the order from the one you like most to the one you like least.

SASUKE
Cat?

NARUTO
Cat, monkey, hawk and bear.

SASUKE
Hm... Cat, bear...

NARUTO
Cat, bear...

SASUKE
So what's leftover?

NARUTO
Monkey and hawk.

SASUKE
Then hawk and monkey.

NARUTO
Hawk and monkey.

SASUKE
Yes.

NARUTO
I see.
Why?

SASUKE
Just, subconsciously?
I like cats, and bears looks kind of soft and fluffy too?
That's how I feel...
Hawks are, well, they have a cool image?
Monkeys are... um... they don't have anything charming about them at all.

NARUTO
Why? Monkeys are cute too, like babies.

SASUKE
The little ones are cute...
But in the news they've been reporting about this... Monkey-that's-like-a-man?

NARUTO
Kinin?

SASUKE
So it's like... ew, that's so not cute?
So scary! Not something I'd want to meet up with.

NARUTO
That's why it's fourth, eh?

SASUKE
That's right.

NARUTO
So, this is the results of the test.

SASUKE
I wonder what it is?

NARUTO
We'll get to know what's most precious to you.

SASUKE
And that is?

NARUTO
Firstly the cat - Romantic love.
Sugiyama-kun cherishes romantic love most of all.
Two, the bear - Family.
Oh, romantic love followed by family in importance!

SASUKE
I wonder if that's true?

NARUTO
Then the hawk, thirdly - your dreams.
Love, family, then dreams, that's the importance scale.
And finally the one you wouldn't give two hoots about - Friendship!

SASUKE
Ah... eh??
I'm very sure there's nothing of that sort...
I don't understand but-

NARUTO
So funny!
So that's what the personality quiz is all about.

SASUKE
I see.

NARUTO
Everybody, you feel you understand a bit more?
And now let's read out a more normal mail.
Academy Student from Hiroshima, Youna-san.
Thank you for your mail.

SASUKE
Thank you for your mail.

NARUTO
Sugiyama-san, I've been waiting for you!

SASUKE
Yes.

NARUTO
My heartbeat always accelerates when I hear Sasuke's voice!

SASUKE
Thank you very much.

NARUTO
And so!
Please Sugiyama-san, tell us the 'type' that you like most! Please do!
We received a looot of this same kind of mail.

SASUKE
Eh? Type? You mean, girls - type of girls I like?

NARUTO
Type of girls you like.
Yes that's right.
Even if it was the type of cats you liked?

SASUKE
Oh yeah?
That's feels like... "Hey wait a minute..."

NARUTO
I'm interested too.
What's the 'type' you like most?

SASUKE
Hm... Someone happy... and gentle?

NARUTO
That's... kindda vague.

SASUKE
Vague?
Well, vague yes but...
It's like, it feels like...
There can be no one else but someone like this, someone of this type?

NARUTO
Surely that's not it?

SASUKE
But I'm sure it goes that way!
When you're talking, even if it's someone who has the same 'aura' as you do,
when you speak with this particular person, just this person alone, the atmosphere in the air changes just slightly?

NARUTO
Yes, it happens.
So what kind of happy do you mean?
Like, WEHYAHAHAHA!!... ?

SASUKE
Not an idiot! No, not that!

NARUTO
Not an idiot, eh?

SASUKE
Not an idiot, like, you know, someone always bright?
Always happy, bright, and smiling away.

NARUTO
You mean, someone like ME?

SASUKE
... eh?

NARUTO
And that was an 'eh' from you just now.

SASUKE
Takeuchi-san is...

NARUTO
What kind of an 'eh' was that?
That was a very rude 'eh' for a reply, wasn't it?

SASUKE
I'm sorry!
I actually think you're very cute too-

NARUTO
Why are you looking down?

SASUKE
No, I'm not.

NARUTO
You're just like Ishida-san (Gaara) like that!

SASUKE
Oh really?

NARUTO
Always turning your faces away during the important parts in the conversation!

SASUKE
No, nothing of that sort!
I think you're very happy and cute yourself. Really.

NARUTO
So for example, when you're tired.
When you're really tired.
What kind of action would you like from a person at this time?

SASUKE
Kind of action from a person?

NARUTO
Like, "You clean up the place and make the ba-ban and-"

SASUKE
That's so oyaji!
(oyaji could mean a random old guy, or your father)
That's so oyaji!

NARUTO
Or someone who quietly waits for you at home when you're tired, someone who quietly hands you your dinner...

SASUKE
I think there's no need for the dinner...

NARUTO
Or someone who's brave and gallant, there are people like that, right?

SASUKE
Ah, but I think I'd really like someone who'd care for me.

NARUTO
Um. That rules me out then.
Sugiyama-kun, your blood type is A?

SASUKE
Yes, blood type A.

NARUTO
Blood type A... A...
Seki-san (Iruka) is blood type A too, right?

SASUKE
I guess?
But Seki-san... he gives off these "You're such a mysterious person," vibes?

NARUTO
But Seki-san is pretty mysterious himself.

SASUKE
Ain't that right?
Seki-san is very mysterious himself, right?

NARUTO
Right?
And with that, anyway, this marks the end of our question and answer session with Sugiyama-kun!
