Instalive July 31 - 2020

S: (In the middle of talking about kamishibai and Jun's torso suddenly came into view) Eh, this shirt is?
M: Good evening.
S: Diva Matsumoto Jun, isn't it?
M: (Laughs) Hello, this is diva.
S: Today, people all over the world, especially the fans can watch, it's diva Matsumoto Jun's turn.
M: Wrong, wrong.
S: Yes, it's Turning Up's turn.
M: Hello, this is Matsumoto. Please take care of me.
S: Is there something you've changed recently? For example, haircut, hairstyle...
M: It's been a while since I cut my hair... About one month ago.
S: No new news?

M: New news... New news... I wonder what. 

S: Well, if there's none...

M: Recently? 

S: What you bought...

M: I'm thinking of changing my furnitures, I'm looking up a lot of things.

S: There's no set time to replace furnitures, right?

M: That's right.

S: For example, what are you buying? Tables for example. Chairs for example?

M: I'm planning on buying those.

S: Really?

M: Yes.

S: Since you're changing your furnitures, what do you do to the old ones?

M: About those... What should I do... Do you need those?

S: If I have to choose, I do.

M: (Laughs) You don't need them, right? They're just gonna get in your way.

S: Ah, there's a lot of comments about Kanjam. I also watched Kanjam.

M: Ah, thank you.

S: It was very interesting. There were a lot of comments from Matsuda-san and the rest.

M: For giving the chance to speak, thank you very much, Matsuda-san. I received many messages from friends I haven't heard from for a long time.

S: Ah, really, that's true. I wasn't on the show, but I received a good amount of messages, like, "I'm watching Kanjam~." Although, I didn't appear on the show.

M: Even though you weren't on the show? (Laughs) Well, it's because you're Arashi.

S: There are many things we can't talk about unless Matsumoto Jun appears on the show. Even as a member who knows the true state of affairs, it was quite interesting.

M: Is that so? I'm happy to hear that.

M: It was the first time I appeared on Kanjam Golden, and it was because of this timing, I thought talking about myself wouldn't have been fitting, but they asked me talk about Johnny-san's Johnny's-ism.

S: You did a great job.

M: Thank you very much.

I wasn't sure if I had enough willpower to translate everything but I guess I'm still dealing with how happy Sho hosting has made me. Strike while the iron is hot, as they say. Hearing them talk about the initial plans for Arafes 2020 made me sad so I didn't translate that. There's also the bit about Jun's detox diet that didn't make it here. Also the last Instalive getting deleted accidentally, and Matsujun had strong liquor to down his sorrows...

I really like this Instalive but I think it's because I'm strongly biased towards Sho's voice. And, uh, his, um, eyes. 

Nevertheless, Ohno-san was very cute, and I'm happy he talked quite a bit about his curry bread and exhibition, especially since he didn't talk enough before. Sho getting Matsujun to call for Ohno who was eating his meal to give us his message was very cute as well. Ohno's message was cute and very Ohno. Sho has Ohno's art in his living room. My Yama heart is content.

Nino asking Sho to combine their faces was very funny, too. And Aiba's session was gold. He really couldn't say Manggarang Guring Begu properly. The bit where he tried to invade Sho's room was also very cute. However, my favorite part is Aiba asking Sho to answer questions and give his message to the fans. Like, oh look, my Sakuraba heart is happy. 

Or rather, since all these Sho pairings had been my OTP once in the past, my heart was really swaying. I kept thinking, wow, I think Yama is actually my favorite, or is it possible that Sakuraba is making a comeback?

Sho-san, please don't fuel every ship like this, a certain swing shipper is very confused and is thinking of changing to NinoAi or Tennen. I feel like if Sakurai Sho is not involved I can ship my OTP happily.
