Okay, so be prepared, it's gonna be the longest one! It took forever to get it done, haha. But here you go, get cosy, grab your tea/coffee/hot chocolate/whatever, and ENJOY!
Toshi radio 2018. 01. 29.
It started with the usual weather forecast, then Toshi started to read e-mails.
In the e-mail the person said, she started to listen to the radio program last week, and it was really funny. She
recognised, that Toshi acts differently on TV and on radio. Radio has a really special atmosphere.
T: It is really special! When we came to the studio with Yuzu last week, and sat behind our micophones, we immediately
changed!
Today's guest is Hamaguchi Masaru, one of the comedians from the comedy duo, called "Yoiko".
Toshi got an e-mail in which they asked, how did Hamaguchi-san and Toshi became close.
Toshi explained, they met in an internet show, Hamaguchi-san is a huge X Japan fan (of course, who isn't), and they
started to talk about how much he loves the band, Toshi thinks he's a really nice person, so he invited him to the
radio program. And today is his birthday.
T: In the previous episode we talked about that hairspray, which I brought here too, and looks like you guys really
love this topic, because I got tons of e-mails about it again!
Someone said, if Toshi does his hair with it again, he wants to see.
T: You know, when we performed a duet with Sho from Golden Bomber, he cosplayed me. He looked so cool, that I got the
feeling, I want to try it again!
Toshi started to talk about upcoming DVD releases, and then he mentioned one of his really close old friends, Katto-
kun, (I'm so sorry, I have no idea how to spell his name. If anyone knows, pls correct me) who's now one of his
background musicians on his solo concerts.
T: Let's try to call him. I wonder if he'll pick up...
*phone ringing*
T: What are you doing Katto, it's me who's calling... Let's try again!
*phone rings again*
T: Hallo?
K: Hallo?
T: What are you doing now?
K: I was recording, but we're about to finish now.
T: Really? So it's over soon?
K: Yes! It's over.
T: I'm doing "All Night Nippon" at this moment. Do you want to come over a little?
K: Come over? Like, right now?
T: Can you come now?
K: I'm in Yurakucho.
T: I'm in Yurakucho too. Are you near? Then you have 5 minutes to get here! I'm waiting for you! Can you really come?
K: Yes!
T: Yay! It was a long time since we met.
K: Wow, it was so sudden...
T: It's okay, don't worry! I'm waiting for you! Thank you, bye!
Hamaguchi-san appeard, and Toshi café premium started. They talked about how they met again, then Toshi started making
coffee, and smash the beans which was really noisy again, hahah.
Hamaguchi told a story, when he was in an event in the past, Toshi was there too, and he wanted to meet Toshi so bad,
that he decided if Toshi goes to the toilet, he will go too. (pffhahaha, it's something I would do too. Sounds like
the best place to meet LMAO)
T: I know it's your birthday today, so happy birthday!
H: Thank you so much!
T: I prepared a cake for you!
H: Ah, thank you! What a special cake!
T: Of course, since you know, I'm the king of sweets! So how old are you? 46?
H: Yes, 46.
T: Are you kidding me?! You don't look like 46 at all! You look 36!
*Toshi starts to sing happy birthday*
H: I'm so happy!
T: It's nothing. I prepared a present for you as well!
H: Really? A present? Thank you so much, I'm gonna open it right now!
E-mai: I want to talk about a 25 years old story. Hamaguchi-san's impersonation of Yoshiki. At that time I asked one
of my big X Japan fan school mates "Have you seen that comedy? It was so funny, right?", and she said "Don't talk
about that in front of me ever again!", and she started to hate me.
H: Well, that's true. After that I got a lot of e-mails from X Japan fans, like "Please respect our beloved Yoshiki,
and don't make fun of him again like that!" and such.
T: Ah, I see. Serious people.
H: Yes, but you know, I love X Japan too. So I did that comedy with these feelings.
E-mail: When we first saw that show, we tought "it's not okay, to make fun of Yoshiki like that", but after watching
it, we realised it was actually similar, and funny after all. We want to see you on TV again, Hamaguchi-san!
H: I'm glad to hear that!
Toshi told, that once he went to one of Hamaguchi's performances when he did an impersonation of Yoshiki, and he liked
it. He said, he agreed, and understood it.
H: Please, don't say that! *laughs*
T: But I did really like it! You also played the air-drums, and you were so wild, that I actually respected you for
that!
E-mail: Toshi-san, you called Katto-kun. Did he forget to come? He will really come?
T: Ah, here he is!!!! He's here, he's here!
K: Hello, good evening! You called me so suddenly!
T: You brought the cool air inside.
K: It smells so sweet here.
H: Yes, because we're eating a cake.
K: Happy birthday!
T: Our story about how we met with Katto-kun is really amazing. Do you want to tell to Hamaguchi-san?
Katto told him, that in 92' Toshi did this radio program, and I didn't really understand what was that corner about,
but he had the opportunity to talk with Toshi via phone, and they talked a lot. Toshi said, Katto talked non-stop. He
was only 15 at that time. Toshi got interest in him, so they met in a studio, and thanks to hide-san, Katto debuted.
(He is a guitarist). And since then, they're really close friends.
H: Wow, that's what I call destiny!
Time for "true or false, Toshi folk-tales.
T: How did you discover X Japan Hamaguchi-san?
H: One of my friends in high school really liked heavy-metal, and he gave me a casette tape of X.
T: A casette tape? Wasn't the sound's quality horrible?
H: Yes, it was, but I started to like the band from that on. Can I read the next e-mail?
T: Go on.
E-mail: I heard a gossip, when Toshi's hair was still blonde, he fell between a train and the platform. Is that true?
T: *laughs* Katto-kun, what do you think?
K: I heard this story before!
H: What? Really?
T: Ah... well...so... It's true!
*everyone starts to laugh*
H: But it's a little bit dangerous, dont't you think?
T: I was so embarassed about my blonde hair at that time. (Because at that time, it was kind of forbidden to die your
hair, and people with blonde hair considered "suspicious", "weird", "dangerous") I had piano tuning exam that day. And
we had a concert as well. Anyway, on the previous day, everyone told me "let's bleach our hair!", so I did it at
night. But then the next day I overslept, and I was suuuper super late. I tought, there's no way to catch my train,
but it was the day of the exam. So I run with my huge backpack. The train was right in front of me, I wanted to jump
in, but I couldn't. My leg stuck between the train and the platform, and I fell in. Everyone looked out of the windows
to check what happened. I couldn't move, so someone helped me out. But then the doors closed, and I couldn't get in.
H: Whaaaaaat? You couldn't get in?
T: No, so I was late for my exam. But I went anyway. Everyone was already there. The dean came to me, and started to
yell at me: "Who te heck are you?!". As I said, I bleached my hair the other day, so she didn't recognise me. She was
really angry, because she didn't understand what on earth this suspicious person doing there. I murmured: "I came to
the piano tuning exam".
*everyone laughs really hard*
Next-email: I heard, when Toshi was a junior-high student, he took part in a folk-music contest with his original
folk-song. Is it true? If Yes, I want to know the song's title!
T: What do you think Katto-san? Is it true?
K: I think it is.
T: It was a 11 hours long NHK show, and it contained a lot of different contests. It was before junior-high third
year, in the summer vacation. I went there with the baseball club's captain, Okada-san. I called him Oka-pi. We went
to this folk-village, and there in a studio was an audition. Everyone was so good and talented there, and we were only
15 years old kids. But we performed my original folk-song. (Sorry I didn't get the title)
H: Wow, I really want to hear! Do you remember it?
T: No! I don't remember anything!
H: Come on, I'm sure you can recall it somehow!
T: Listen guys, it's too embarassing! But then, they thanked us the participation, and we got one-one toothbrush.
Next e-mail: Is that true, that on X Japan concerts in the past Toshi screamed "let's get naked!" to the audience, and
women also started to take off their clothes. And if yes, did you see those people?
T: What do you think Katto-san?
K: I want to know, if it's true or not.
T: Women taking off their clothes on a concert is not okay, right?... But after I screamed "let's get naked", they
started to remove their underwear... And they started to jump...
*a few seconds dead silence*
*everyone starts to laugh*
T: Then I changed my words, to "take off your overgarment".
Next e-mail: When X Japan was still indies, and hide joined the band, is that true, that you were so happy, that you
did kumitaisou? (Sorry, I didn't know how to translate this, but it basically means group gymnastics in which teams
form pyramids or other shapes)
T: What do you think Katto-san?
K: It might be true.
T: Really?
K: Yes...
T: *gasps*... Except it's not!
T: At that time hide wanted to stop doing music, but we really needed a guitarist, so after he said yes, we were
extremely happy. Like "let's go to drink! Let's celebrate!"
The next e-mail was about Pata and his paper bags, but honesly I didn't understand.
T: Pata-san doesn't have paper bags right now, but if he would have one, he would definitely put alcohol in it.
T: So now, it's time for Mr. Logan's corner. In the previous episode we had to skipp the whole thing, which is totally
unforgivable, but now we're doing it.
(This is the corner, when the guests and Toshi's agressive alterego, Logan, give advices to the listeners on their
problems)
So the e-mail was from a woman, who's dating a man. They went dating 4 times, she even gave him chocolate, but the man
still doesn't recognised her feelings. The question was, how to make him recognise, how to move further in this
relationship.
H: So, it was from a woman, right? Then it's the man's fault!
T: Recognising the other's feelings, yes-yes!
H: Like, if I would receive chocolate from a woman, that's pretty obvious. Besides, she said, they went to date 4
times already. I think confession is a man's duty! (where do you live man? lmao)
T: Women do it nowadays too.
H: My advice is timing. Confess in the right time. Maybe that guy is really shy.
K: But if they dated 4 times, that means they are going out, no? (the confusion LOL)
T: Hmm, it's a hard question for Logan-san. After hearing your answers, I don't know what to say. Also, Logan-san
doesn't understand women. But let's listen what he has to say.
Logan: JUST KISS HIM ALREADY! *screaming*
T: So, since Katto-san came here, Logan doesn't want to spend too much time here.
K: He's already leaving?
Logan: Sayonara! *in an agressive tone*
T: So since you're here, I prepared a special corner for you! (i didn't understand the title, but it was that one he
did in the past)
T: In the next e-mail a kid said, he wants to be a youtuber, but he doesn't know how to convince his parents. Come to
think of it Katto-san, how did your parent react at that time?
K: First, they wasn't that supportive, but after listening to that All Night Nippon show, my father started to cry,
and supported me all the way. Toshi-san asked me, what I want to be, and I answered "musician", and he said "then
become one!".
T: I don't remember at all... (come on Toshi, that's how you ruin the mood)
T: But this kid wants to be a youtuber. I don't know what is that, but why not? Just take the responsibility!
In the end of the episode Toshi and Katto played Say Anything to Hamaguchi-san.
