Murota Tatsuya (+ birthday message from Taro-mama)

It's starting to seem like everyone is an Arashi fan...remember the shiatsu expert who appeared on 2008.06.09 Shukudai-kun?

Murota Tatsuya (Director, Physicalmainte yuraku)

Turns out he's an Arashi fan (!). He wrote about the taping on his website:

Vlcsnap-8977638

Vlcsnap-8978796

Vlcsnap-8975743

Vlcsnap-8979276

Vlcsnap-8977203

I appeared on Arashi no shukudai-kun, scheduled to air on Monday, June 9 2008, 11:58 pm!

Ever since I wrote the book Independent practice: teach yourself foot pressure points and reflexology, from time to time I get offers to be on TV saying, "Won't you please inflict pain on comedians through foot shiatsu?"

However, I get tense even when delivering a wedding speech, and on many occasions I even became incoherent. I have social anxiety, and so I've refused such offers.

I had an extremely hard time deciding on this one, because this show is actually very familiar to me --- it is one of the few shows that my daughter and I happily watch together every week without fail.
My daughter is a big Arashi fan, and among them she has fallen completely head over heels for the gorgeous MatsuJun!

Of course she also likes the other members, and she never fails to record all the shows they appear on.

There's the fact that this show is a late-night one, and that it is one of the few shows that I actually get to watch. Furthermore, it also serves as an enjoyable means of communication with my daughter, who is in high school.
So I consulted with my daughter, and promptly made the decision to accept the offer.

Having said all that, I got through with the taping, but with the speediness of the show, and the fact that I was so nervous as expected, I missed most of my chance to explain as planned, and so for those who came to this site, wondering, allow me to apologize and explain about the pressure points.
.
.
.
I abruptly inflicted pain without making such explanations on the show. I'm sorry, Fujiwara-san...

With that, not onIy did I get to watch a show live as a viewer, but I even participated in it as well. It was a day filled with fun and regret --- ashamed of my belly fat, I wish I went on a diet beforehand, if only there was a bit more time.

After the taping, I was able to relax in a small room with Aiba-kun and Ohno-kun in such close proximity, and my sense of closeness with them grew stronger.
I ran into Nino-kun near the elevator going down, and he greeted me and shook my hand, and we rode the elevator together. It's a little something I can brag about to my daughter.
I didn't see MatsuJun or Sho-kun apart from the taping. Too bad!
I feel like I've become a bigger Arashi fan than my daughter!

☆ This is late, but from 2008.06.15 bay storm:

Ninomiya Kazunari-kun,
Happy birthday.
Do you remember your mom?
This is Kikuchi Momoko.
We worked together during this time last year on the drama Yamada Taro Monogatari, so I was able to greet you in person.
It's unfortunate that I'm not able to see you this year.
My sincere congratulations to you.
I see you're now 25 years old.
They say that as a man grows older, he becomes more refined, his character more mature, and he becomes more brilliant, so please spend your days happily and grow to be a cool man.
But of course you're already quite cool now (laughs). Sorry.
You know, I really love Nino-kun's acting.
I think the way you remember your lines and such strikes of genius.
Also, our co-stars all say that they find it so easy to act with Nino-kun.
I think this is proof of genius, so anyway, I have greater, higher expectations of your acting.
Please work hard and make us happy.
Also, there's one more thing --- it's my daughter.
She's seven years old this year, and Nino-kun is her first love, her idol.
She still says even now that she wants to marry you.
Her name is Sayuri by the way.
I gave her that name hoping she will become a pure lady like Yoshinaga Sayuri-san.
She's seven right now, but in about ten years she'll be 17.
Nino-kun will be 35 years old by then, so won't you consider her to be your wife? (laughs)
Pushing aside all other rivals.
As her mother, I would be grateful if you could make my daughter's dream come true.
And with that, I also become your real mother.
Nino-kun, this is important, so please let us know what you think of my daughter's feelings.
It's fine if you just tell us your feelings at the moment.
Please don't fail to answer (laughs).
Happy birthday.

p.s. Yoshikazu-chan's Arashi book ("BokuAra" for short) now has a publisher and is scheduled to be released sometime in late July or early August. Congratulations~ *throws confetti*

[MYShow]

such cute fans they had~ <3

thanks for the translation~ ^^

[kikintae]

people are getting to know them personally and they all love them. that just show how lovable they are.

[Huxley]

I know such a cute dad! Must be nice having a dad who fans over the same things as she does ^^

[Huxley]

Amen to that ^^

[kretortd]

But ... Nino can't get married ! That's what the fortune teller told him LOL

ah, the fans are so adorable !! thanks for sharing ..

[wen]

de daddy n mummy is cute XD

[Huxley]

Maybe it's that he can't get married now 'cause there's already someone waiting ten years from now hehe. Sayuri-chan is lucky to have Taro-mama as her, er, pimp lols.

[Huxley]

They are indeed ^^

[Dúnadan]

I think it is such an honour for anyone to be invited on their shows! Something to brag about haha I like how Arashi can be a common topic for parent-child to bond over.

KAZU! See? Once you cut your hair, your future wife comes back XD I wonder if Sayuri will grow up feeling horrified at what her mother has done to her.

This kind of proposal feels just like the manga - Mimura was supposed to be engaged to Yamada's sister and they would wait for her to grow up before marrying. Hehe!

[MyMelody5]

Awww..... It's cool that he uses Arashi as a way of communication with his daughter.. That's just so sweet.... And Kikuchi-san really wants Nino to be her son-in-law.. Actually, I wouldn't mind.. It's just that the age difference is like 0_0.

Thanks for sharing! <3

[Becs]

lol, i had a good laugh. Simply love the fact that parents and children adore Arashi. I think Kuchiki san's more excited to have Nino as a son ^^" Interested to know how Nino will reply to this XD thanks for sharing!

[kunyit9]

"It's a little something I can brag about
to my daughter."
ooh i love this ojiisan! interesting otousan^^ i can imagined him coming home after the recording with a broad grin on his face&had a peaceful sleep that night ^_^  and taro-mama chou kawaiii!^^ she sure had a great great time acting with Nino last year ne ^__^

Huxley-san, as always, thank you very much for sharing all these..otsukare!! *huuuuuuuugs* ^__~

[katz08]

thanks so much for the translation~~

lols @ the proposal~~

 

thanks!

[risu_chan]

the belly talk was hilarious^^

arashi really have nice attitude that's why they're become popular.
not just face and charm^^
glad that i'm in arashi fandom

thanks for sharing~

[bambeee]

that is one cool dad! ^___^

he suddenly became conscious about his belly. XDDD

next thing we know, he'll be attending the concerts with his daughter and waving uchiwas. lolz!

but yeah, he's really cool. ^^

and Taro-mama you're not pressuring nino aren't you? XD

thanks for sharing huxley!

[genki]

Lovely dad ne ^^ he try to communication with his daughter by watching arashi with her . Adorable this !!!

And momokosan, I wish to see your daughter >< and nino, u have the youngest finance already >< haha

thanks for translation and sharing ^^

[K.]

[this is good] hahahahhah! they are cute!! I like the dad story =) and momoko momoko momoko tsk tsk tsk you're just dying to become nino mother in law xD 
Huxly, thanks so much for posting the most interesting story and translation again!!

[sefi]

Aww. I love that they're loved. Thanks for posting this.

[redchemistry]

gawd. because arashi is just the supreme awesome that makes the earth goes round on its axis!

nino at 35 is..........unthinkable.

[盧家宜]

I think its amazing that Arashi has touched so many people, more than they know..

Who would of imagined that sensei was an Arashi fan? xD The people that work with Arashi must respect them a lot and be glad of the opportunity.

[hinagiku85]

[this is good]

LOL. Celebrities moms will try to hook their daughters with the boys from now on...

Step aside kiddies, you're waaaay behind cause the line's already full with 20-30's now.

But then again, Nino might find it cute to have a 17 years old bride when he's 35. By then he probably would look more like 25 anyway.

[Zai' Dayz]

Awww. He's such a cute papa. I wish my dad is like that. Of course I still love my dad ^^

N Momoko-san, you'll do anything to get Nino with ur daughter right? XD

[zekeshocks]

Thanks so much for sharing! *hugs*

Arashi is really a bonding moment for fathers and daughters.   And I love how Tatsuya-san recounted his moments with Arashi.  You really feel that he admires the five of them. :)

I wish that I have a mother like Momoko-san who will do everything so that she could push her daughter towards Nino.  Hahaha!  It's just so cute!  Even if Nino's 35, she'll still wish that her daughter will marry Nino!  Since her daughter will be 18, Nino at 35 will still look 18.  Haha! XD

[eyl]

The dad sure is sweet. Her daughter must be proud (and quite envious) of him! ^__^

And Momoko-san proposal... O_o
Thanks for the translation!!

[Huxley]

Hi eyl, no prob, thanks for dropping by ^^

[Huxley]

*huggies back* I think I'd be mortified if my own mother pleaded to the object of my affection on my behalf ^^; And on public radio for that matter lols. It'd be interesting to see if Sayuri would remain loyal to her ouji Nino and not be baited away by other ikemens nearer her age (Hey Say Jump, anyone?).

[Huxley]

XD I love my dad the way he is, but yeah it must be fun to have an equally Arashi-loving dad (maybe we should give converting ours a try XD)

[Huxley]

Somehow I can't imagine Nino when he's 35...still into games most likely...and maybe perhaps prepubescent girls? He'll be lucky if he's still Sayuri-chan's idol in ten years time (teenage girls can be so fickle...).

[Huxley]

I know who would have thought? I randomly came across his site while searching for something else; it was a nice unexpected gem of a find ^^

[Huxley]

Love your description of Arashi lols. Same here, can't imagine Nino at 35

[Huxley]

No prob, glad you enjoyed it ^^

[Huxley]

Who wouldn't want to become Nino's mother-in-law? ;D Hmm although I would worry that he'd pay more attention to his DS than my daughter lols

[Huxley]

I want to see Sayuri too~ I'm trying to imagine what she looks like with Taro-mama as her mom, and apparently this guy as her dad hmmm...

[Huxley]

Haha I can easily imagine him being his daughter's con partner with matching uchiwas XDD

[Huxley]

Hi risu_chan, glad you enjoyed it, thanks for dropping by ^^

[Huxley]

Glad you enjoyed it ^^

[Huxley]

*huuugs nee-chan back* ^_^

[Huxley]

Nino's betting on his newly-acquired magic skills:

If I went over to their house now, I would surely further capture her heart.
Because I can do magic now.
I am confident that her heart will be completely captured by this.
I've actually met her once at one of our concerts.
She was so shy, she went to hide inside Kikuchi Momoko-san's skirt.
This time I'm thinking of going over to their house to talk properly.
Well, I want the two of us to think about the future together.
No, really, I'm very grateful.
Kikuchi Momoko-san, thank you so much for your birthday message.

[Huxley]

Haha I don't mind the age difference; they say girls mature faster that guys anyway ^^

[Becs]

*_* nino is such a sweet talker...to the extent of going over to their house! why does it sound like an omiai XD Or u know, maybe Nino is getting worried about what the fortune teller's prediction that he can't marry~! XDDD

[Huxley]

Ah I remember now she transferred her feelings to Sho-kun in her love letter to Nino on Shukudai-kun lols. Now we know the real reason why Nino cut his hair ;D

[charurei]

This time I'm thinking of going over to their house to talk properly.
Well, I want the two of us to think about the future together.

haha, Nino! where is this from, Baystorm? Taro's mom is def using her connections, not fair! xD

[Huxley]

Yup from the same bay storm. How are you? Hope you've settled in nicely already in your new home ^^

[charurei]

still adjusting, and still getting homesick a lot. :D
punta ka sa Asia cons? 

[Huxley]

Sadly hindi...ikaw? Ingat ka d'yan ^^

[charurei]

hindi rin :( mahal pamasahe e. sa 2009-- sana :D

ingat ka rin dyan :)
