Jun: (looking at Nino’s small bag) Is that a Poche (French for “pocket”)?
Nino: Of course it’s a shoulder bag! It’s not a waist pouch. Totally a shoulder bag. (Slings the bag over his shoulder to demonstrate the fact) Eh, are we going to verify this?
Ohno: This is a nice Poche.
Sho: Thus sayeth the Poche Master.
Aiba: We want to see the Poche after missing it for so long, yes?
Ohno: Should I bring it? I still have it.
Sho: Seriously, this guy (Ohno) came to Australia (for the filming of Ultrastrong Game) with just a Poche! When I looked inside there were tiny underwear stacked on top of each other!
Everyone: HAHAHAHA.
Nino: It was like expandable wakame, right? (laughs) Although he’s taken to using humongous bags lately.
Poche
The correct description is actually a shoulder bag with a long strap, used for carrying small items. This is totally different from Ohno’s favorite nylon waist pouch which he was using in 2004. The members have taken to calling it a Poche.
Sho: We did an air band of QUEEN, together with Nino who had just returned from LA, didn’t we?
Nino: We did. Jun and I did the air guitars, Sho-kun did the drums… Hahaha!
Aiba: Our teacher was (Miyashiro) Mario-san.
Jun: Riida initially had on a Freddy Mercury get-up. Although it was meant to be an air vocal performance, it totally became a comedy act, haha. (note: Jun uses the word KAOGEI, which is a type of comedy technique employed by comedians who make silly faces).
Nino: It was a mimicry pub. (laughs) What was up with Aiba-kun’s keyboard…
Sho: I wonder why is it when Aiba-san does an air performance, he sticks out his teeth? (laughs)
QUEEN
In 2006, the five members embarked on their plan to create an air band on G no Arashi, and performed live in front of an audience. The song which they played was Queen’s Seven Seas of Rhye.
Jun: Shouldn’t R stand for rehearsals? Well… I think we’re a group that has lots of rehearsals.
Nino: That’s because we’ve had the privilege of doing concerts year after year…
Aiba: You could say that we virtually had curry everyday for the past year. (laughs)
Sho: Recently, if I entered a rehearsal studio, I get this craving for curry. (laughs) Recently, Ohno-san just comes, eats only curry and goes back home. (laughs)
Rehearsals
The rehearsals which are mentioned here refer mainly to concert rehearsals. The takeouts are mainly hearty foods like curry.
Jun: When we were eating with people from the company, the topic of middle names came up. Someone said to Riida, “You look like a Sammi, don’t you?” (laughs)
Sho: Deriving from that, [Riida] did it too during his solo concert. The okama Sammi.
Jun: The characters that Riida comes up with are all okama! (laughs)
Ohno: It’s easy to do.
Nino: You know, we end up talking about stupid stuff even with the big shots…
Sammi
Ohno’s alias for a point in time. In 2006, Ohno portrayed an amorous yatai owner, Sammi, who encourages a depressed Ohno. (He acted in both roles.)

Date: 2010-08-15 04:24 pm (UTC)This one.... I don't really remember what they were talking about other than the part when they talked about the air guitar during their TV show. I remember that, it was very funny and hilirious. :D
but the first one it was about the bag that Nino was using, right? and then somehow... how did they get from there to Oh-chan's waistpouch..? but that's ok. because it one of the famous stories, ne ^^ that he only brought that to Australia, that's really funny. I don't know how did he do that ^^' but it seems like it's ok for him, ne it's not a problem for him, but other members were very curious of how did he live with a super super small bags in other country, ne ^^
Another one.. I don't really know what were they talking about. Was it the character from Oh-chan's stageplay? I was kind of lost a bit, but that's ok. :)
Thanks again for sharing :)
