[00:01] Saku
    It has begun! The "Osomatsu-san" Year-End Special!
[00:04] Saku
    I'm Sakurai Takahiro, who plays the oldest
    brother of the Matsuno family, Osomatsu.
[00:07] Naka
    I'm Nakamura Yuuichi, who plays
    the second brother, Karamatsu.
[00:09] Kami
    I'm Kamiya Hiroshi, who plays
    the third brother, Choromatsu.
[00:12] Saku
    So, since this is the Year-End Special,
[00:15] Saku
    we'll be watching the episode with you
    and saying what we think about it
[00:20] Saku
    as a supplemental audio track
    in this bonus project.
[00:23] Naka
    Right...
[00:23] Kami
    What kind of project is this?
    I've never really done this before.
[00:26] Naka
    Same here.
[00:27] Saku
    Yeah.
[00:28] Kami
    I mean, this is going on the broadcast, right?
[00:28] Naka
    So it's not for a disc release, but for broadcast?
[00:30] Kami
    Apparently.
[00:30] Saku
    Right.
[00:31] Kami
    Yeah.
[00:31] Naka
    So people are being forced
    to listen to this at home?
[00:36] Saku
    Uh, please don't get any weird
    expectations about this.
[00:38] Kami
    Yeah.
[00:38] Naka
    Yeah.
[00:39] Saku
    We'll be talking within some rules, so...
[00:41] Kami
    Yeah.
[00:42] Naka
    There won't be many behind-the-scenes
    stories you can only hear here.
[00:44] Saku
    Nah, not really.
[00:45] Kami
    But I wonder how people will take this.
[00:47] Kami
    If someone who doesn't know us hears this...
[00:49] Kami
    I mean, if you hear just the voices,
    it's the characters talking.
[00:51] Kami
    We don't really alter our voices much on this show.
[00:52] Saku
    Yeah, we really don't.
[00:54] Naka
    Yeah.
[00:55] Kami
    So I bet people will be like,
    "Huh? What are they talking about?"
[00:58] Sakura
    Well... I mean, "Osomatsu-san" is already...
[01:02] Naka
    Yeah.
[01:02] Saku
    ...sort of a trend.
[01:03] Kami
    Right?
[01:04] Naka
    It is.
[01:04] Saku
    So people should enjoy this, too.
[01:05] Kami
    I guess, maybe.
[01:07] Naka
    Well, they should.
[01:07] Kami
    I wonder if we're going to come across okay.
[01:09] Saku
    Well, let's do this thing!
[01:12] Naka
    I guess we can give it a shot.
[01:13] Saku
    Yeah, let's give it a shot.
[01:13] Naka
    Let's do it.
[01:15] Saku
    Let's see what we can do.
[01:16] Kami
    Yeah.
[01:17] Saku
    What can we even do at this point?
[01:19] Kami
    What can we do?
[01:20] Saku
    Yeah...
[01:21] Kami
    Well, let's just do some stuff.
[01:22] Saku
    Yeah. So we'll be talking about various things.
[01:23] Kami
    Yeah.
[01:23] Naka
    Yeah.
[01:25] Saku
    Stay tuned and watch!
[01:25] Kami
    Yes!
[01:26] Naka
    Stay tuned.
[01:27] Naka
    And so, I think we'll see the sponsors after this.
[01:30] Kami
    What a surprise.
[01:30] Saku
    Yup.
[01:30] Naka
    There they are!
[01:31] Kami
    Wow, awesome. Thanks for taking care of us!
[01:33] Naka
    Thank you very much!
[01:34] Saku
    Keep taking care of us!
[01:34] Kami
    You're awesome!
[01:35] Naka
    Thanks for the meal!
[01:36] Saku
    I love you!
[01:36] Kami
    I really love you! With all my heart!
[01:41] Saku
    Right, well, are you ready?
    This is the Year-End Special.
[01:43] Kami
    Yup.
[01:44] Saku
    So, um... The narration here is going to say
[01:47] Saku
    that we're going to talk about
    who's the worst sextuplet.
[01:51] Kami
    Whoa, what?
[01:51] Saku
    I'll be saying it.
[01:52] Naka
    So you already did it.
[01:52] Saku
    I've already gone and said it.
[01:53] Naka
    You already did it.
[01:54] Saku
    Yeah, I already said all this.
[01:56] Naka
    Your conversation with Totoko.
[01:56] Kami
    What kind of show is this?
[01:57] Saku
    And, um, if we're not careful...
[02:00] Saku
    And in my case, especially...
[02:02] Saku
    There might be moments where it sounds
    like there are three of me talking.
[02:06] Kami
    Oh, I get it.
[02:07] Saku
    Yes.
[02:07] Kami
    The actual episode, and this track.
[02:09] ---
    Yeah.
[02:09] ---
    The intro narration and...
[02:10] Saku
    Oh! This is it, right here!
[02:11] Naka
    You started talking.
[02:12] Kami
    Yeah, he did.
[02:13] Saku
    Yeah.
[02:15] Saku
    Well...
[02:17] Naka
    I don't know what to say.
[02:18] Saku
    Yeah... I don't even know.
[02:21] Naka
    This feels really weird.
[02:22] Saku
    This is hard for me...
[02:24] Naka
    This is really hard to do.
[02:25] Kami
    I'm sure it is.
[02:25] Kami
    Yeah.
[02:26] Kami
    But Totoko's cute.
[02:28] Saku
    Ah, I knew you'd go there.
[02:29] Kami
    Yeah. I love Totoko.
[02:30] Naka
    I see. You love her, huh?
[02:32] Kami
    Yeah. Well, she's a bit full of herself,
    so that's kind of off-putting, but...
[02:36] Saku
    Yeah, I'd agree with that.
[02:37] Kami
    But once you get to that point,
    it's actually refreshing.
[02:38] Naka
    There aren't many girls as honest as her.
[02:40] Kami
    I don't think there are.
[02:41] Naka
    She doesn't dress up.
[02:42] Kami
    Yeah.
[02:43] Saku
    She does, but it's in a different way.
[02:44] Kami
    I mean, when she does dress up,
    it's as a crustacean.
[02:46] Saku
    Yeah.
[02:47] Kami
    I loved the mantis shrimp.
[02:49] Saku
    That was cute.
[02:50] Naka
    Though we totally ignored her.
[02:50] Kami
    Yeah, it was.
[02:51] Kami
    Yeah, we completely ignored her.
[02:52] Naka
    We totally ignored her,
    so she did a body blow on us.
[02:55] Kami
    I loved the echo there.
[02:57] Naka
    Ah, her "Sei!"
[02:58] Kami
    "Sei!"
[02:59] Saku
    Oh, if we keep talking about little
    things like this, time will fly by.
[03:02] Kami
    Yeah, I'm sure it will.
[03:02] Naka
    It'll go by fast.
[03:02] Saku
    Our part.
[03:04] Naka
    All right.
[03:05] Kami
    Well, we're only here for part A.
[03:06] Saku
    That's right.
[03:07] Kami
    Part B will be after this.
[03:07] Naka
    Part B will be those guys.
[03:09] Saku
    Those three idiots.
[03:09] Kami
    Yeah, the fourth brother onwards...
[03:10] Naka
    They're a bunch of problem children.
[03:12] Saku
    The latter half will be rough.
[03:13] Kami
    Yeah, it definitely will be.
[03:14] Kami
    There's no one to keep them in line.
[03:15] Saku
    Right.
[03:16] Naka
    Yeah... Todomatsu tries to act like he's
    running things, but he's pretty messed up.
[03:21] Kami
    You know, he seriously needs to
    stop laughing during our takes.
[03:25] Naka
    You're talking about the person inside, right?
[03:27] Kami
    What's wrong with him? Seriously.
[03:27] Saku
    He really shouldn't do that.
[03:29] Naka
    Like "Pfft."
[03:30] Kami
    Yeah. He just keeps laughing faintly.
[03:32] Saku
    He probably thinks we can't hear him.
[03:35] Kami
    Of course we can hear him!
    I can't help but notice it!
[03:37] Naka
    He thinks it's not audible.
[03:37] Saku
    Yeah. He thinks it's fine as long as it's quiet.
[03:40] Naka
    I see.
[03:42] Saku
    He should be more careful.
[03:43] Naka
    You! You, be more careful!
[03:44] Kami
    He's totally nodding.
[03:46] Saku
    So, what do you guys think?
[03:48] Kami
    About what?
[03:48] Saku
    The response to "Osomatsu-san."
[03:52] Naka
    The response, huh?
[03:53] Saku
    Do you think there has been any?
[03:54] Naka
    Of course.
[03:55] Kkami
    Yeah.
[03:55] Naka
    Actually, there's been quite
    a bit, both good and bad.
[03:59] Naka
    I get told, "I've been watching the show,"
    when I'm at my other, cleaner shows.
[04:03] Saku
    Do you?
[04:04] Naka
    Yeah.
[04:04] Kami
    I do, too.
[04:05] Saku
    There was one staff person who really
    wanted to tell me something...
[04:08] Naka
    Wanted to?
[04:09] Saku
    So they said, "I've been watching Osomatsu-san!"
    As if it was a love confession.
[04:12] Saku
    Like, "I was finally able to say it!"
[04:14] Naka
    "I was dying to say that!"
[04:15] Saku
    There've actually been people like that.
[04:16] Kami
    Seriously, though, it's hard to believe.
     Ever since we've been on air...
[04:21] Saku
    Yeah.
[04:22] Kami
    Every single day, someone
    brings it up in conversation.
[04:26] Saku
    Oh, wow.
[04:26] Naka
    Yeah.
[04:27] Kami
    I've never been involved
    with an anime like this.
[04:31] Naka
    Yeah.
[04:31] Saku
    I probably haven't, either.
[04:32] Naka
    True.
[04:33] Saku
    I think it's the first time there's been this much.
[04:34] Kami
    I mean, I've worked on shows with huge responses.
[04:36] Saku
    I have, too.
[04:36] Kami
    But it wasn't brought up every day, right?
[04:38] Saku
    Yeah, it might actually be every day.
[04:40] Kami
    It is!
[04:41] Saku
    Yeah, it's amazing.
[04:43] Naka
    Like, on a show where there
    are a lot of hot guys,
[04:50] Saku
    Yeah.
[04:51] Naka
    voice actresses don't usually say,
    "Oh, I like this character."
[04:54] Naka
    Even if they think it.
[04:55] Saku
    Oh, right.
[04:56] Naka
    They don't usually say it,
    but for "Osomatsu," they do.
[04:59] Saku
    Yeah, they probably feel like
    they can say something.
[05:01] Naka
    I mean, there aren't any hot guys.
[05:04] Saku
    You're right.
[05:04] Kami
    Yeah, true.
[05:05] Saku
    There aren't.
[05:06] Naka
    So they said the heart-warming relationship
[05:08] Naka
    between the characters is sort of nice.
[05:10] Kami
    That's how it works?
[05:11] Naka
    I was like, "Oh, I see."
[05:13] Saku
    So, in this special, this Year-End Special,
[05:17] Saku
    we'll take a look at just who these guys are.
[05:20] Naka
    Right.
[05:20] Saku
    Like, "Are these guys okay?"
    and "This is how they are."
[05:21] Kami
    So a little review. Yeah, let's do it.
[05:23] Saku
    Yeah. Let's reflect on all this...
[05:24] Naka
    Are these guys really okay like this?
[05:25] Saku
    Are you guys really okay?
[05:26] Naka
    That's what this is, huh?
[05:27] Saku
    Yep.
[05:27] Kami
    This is pretty bad. It's all bleeped out.
[05:30] Saku
    It's all bleeps.
[05:30] Kami
    Yeah...
[05:32] Naka
    This is episode two, but it was
    the first episode we recorded.
[05:36] Saku
    Yeah.
[05:36] Kami
    Yeah, it was.
[05:37] Saku
    Right.
[05:37] Naka
    It was the first one, so we couldn't help
    but think, "This is how this starts..."
[05:41] Naka
    This is how this starts...
[05:42] Saku
    This is how this starts, yes.
[05:43] Kami
    It starts off full blast.
[05:48] Kami
    It felt like we were being tested when
    we were brought into the studio.
[05:50] Saku
    I feel a little pressure every time... I mean...
[05:55] Kami
    Yeah.
[05:55] Saku
    Comedy's hard, isn't it?
[05:56] Kami
    It is. Jokes are really hard.
[05:58] Saku
    I mean, in my opinion, you two are hilarious.
[06:01] Naka
    Well, in Karamatsu's case, just him
    being on screen is funny.
[06:04] Saku
    No, no...
[06:05] Naka
    The visual itself is funny.
[06:06] Saku
    The visual is weird!
[06:07] Naka
    Hang on a second. Hey!
    We told you to be quiet!
[06:11] Naka
    Sorry about that. I don't think
    the mic caught him, but...
[06:14] Saku
    Yeah.
[06:14] Naka
    There was a guy giggling in here.
[06:15] Saku
    Yes, indeed there was.
[06:17] Kami
    But I mean, we're all seasoned professionals
[06:19] Kami
    who have been on various shows,
    and that's why we were gathered here.
[06:24] Saku
    Well, I hope that's the case...
[06:25] Kami
    So you can really tell that
    everyone's hyped to do this.
[06:31] Saku
    It's scary!
[06:31] Kami
    Seriously.
[06:32] Saku
    Everyone looks so serious.
[06:33] Kami
    Yeah, we do.
[06:34] Saku
    A bit, yeah.
[06:34] Kami
    Yeah.
[06:36] Naka
    Not to mention, ever since Ono-san realized
    that the audience is liking Jyushimatsu,
[06:41] Naka
    he's been super annoying.
[06:43] Saku
    Yeah, he is.
[06:45] Naka
    He keeps ad-libbing.
[06:47] Saku
    It's full of flavor now.
[06:48] Naka
    Yeah, it can't really get much fuller.
[06:51] ---
    It really can't.
[06:53] Kami
    So you guys realized that.
[06:54] Naka
    Yeah. It's like he's trying to
    get every last drop of flavor.
[06:56] Kami
    Yeah.
[06:57] Saku
    He thinks there's still flavor there.
[06:58] Naka
    Like he thinks there's still
    something left to chew.
[07:01] Kami
    When that happens, he starts
    to get more and more boring,
[07:04] Kami
    so please be careful.
[07:06] Naka
    That's why I laugh every time his
    ad-libs get cut from the broadcast.
[07:09] Naka
    Oh, that's great!
[07:09] Kami
    Right.
[07:10] Naka
    It's another way of enjoying it.
[07:11] Sakura
    Something only we'd understand.
[07:12] Naka
    Exactly.
[07:12] Naka
    Like, "Oh, Ono-san tried really
    hard here, and it all got cut."
[07:14] Saku
    That whole part was cut. That was a blast.
[07:17] Naka
    It was a blast!
[07:18] Saku
    Yes, it was.
[07:18] Naka
    Yes.
[07:19] Kami
    You guys should tell him that in person.
[07:21] Naka
    Oh, should we?
[07:21] Kami
    You need to make him realize it,
    or he'll just get more and more boring.
[07:26] Kami
    Seriously...
[07:27] Saku
    It's better when you're not trying.
[07:28] Kami
    A strikeout or home run would be fine,
    but he just keeps trying to hit!
[07:30] ---
    Oh! I get it!
[07:32] Saku
    That's a good metaphor.
[07:33] Kami
    Yeah.
[07:34] Naka
    Iwaki is enough for you.
[07:35] Naka
    That's right.
[07:37] Kami
    A home run now and then is enough.
[07:38] Saku
    Yeah, home runs and strikeouts can both be funny.
[07:41] Saku
    Exactly.
[07:42] Kami
    He just keeps going for hits, and then...
[07:45] Naka
    We're in charge of the hits.
[07:47] Kami
    Exactly.
[07:48] Sakku
    Right. Nobody is really hoping...
[07:51] Kami
    ...for Ono Daisuke to get a clean hit.
[07:53] Both
    Yeah.
[07:55] Naka
    Seriously, that's how it is.
[07:59] Saku
    But as we're working on
    this show, I still feel like
[08:03] Saku
    I keep finding out new
    things about everyone.
[08:07] Saku
    About the cast, I mean.
[08:07] Naka
    Yeah.
[08:08] Kami
    Though we've all known each
    other for quite a while.
[08:11] Saku
    Yeah, but there's that freshness
    to it, so I'm really having fun.
[08:13] Both
    Yeah.
[08:14] Saku
    To be honest, I'm just like Miyu,
    and trying to hold in my laughter.
[08:18] Naka
    Oh, really?
[08:19] Sakku
    I'm actually able to hold it in.
[08:20] Naka
    You're able to...
[08:21] Saku
    I am, at least.
[08:22] Naka
    So it's just Irino-kun and me
    who can't hold it in.
[08:23] Saku
    Exactly. You actually...
[08:25] Naka
    To be honest, I wish I could
    record this show alone.
[08:29] Naka
    I'd like to go home without laughing.
[08:29] Kami
    You always laugh, too, Nakamura-kun.
[08:31] Naka
    Yeah.
[08:32] Kami
    I wish you'd stop laughing at your own lines.
[08:34] Saku
    Yeah.
[08:35] Naka
    I can't help but think, "Wow,
    I'm saying something really dumb."
[08:37] Saku
    Must be nice.
[08:38] Naka
    It just hits me sometimes. It's really hard.
[08:40] Saku
    Yeah, it is.
[08:41] Kami
    Sometimes being quiet just makes it worse.
[08:42] Naka
    Also, the atmosphere in our studio is really bad.
[08:45] Kami
    Yeah.
[08:46] Naka
    It's a terrible atmosphere!
[08:47] Saku
    It's so bad!
[08:48] Naka
    Everyone tries to get you to laugh.
[08:50] Saku
    That's true.
[08:51] Naka
    It's true, right?
[08:51] Saku
    Yeah.
[08:52] Naka
    And it just makes me more hyped up.
[08:53] Saku
    Yeah, I totally understand.
[08:55] Naka
    So it's hard.
[08:56] Naka
    There are lines I don't even smirk
    at when I read them at home,
[08:58] Naka
    but then I laugh at them in the studio.
[09:00] Kami
    Yeah.
[09:01] Saku
    I mean, we're all beat when recording is over.
[09:03] Naka
    Yeah.
[09:04] Saku
    What's with that exhaustion?
[09:05] Naka
    It's tiring.
[09:06] Saku
    Yeah.
[09:07] Saku
    That tanktop is awful.
[09:09] Naka
    I wonder who made it.
[09:11] ---
    Maybe he made it himself.
[09:12] Kami
    He probably ordered it somewhere.
[09:12] Saku
    Ah...
[09:13] Naka
    I guess that's better than asking
    your mom to make it for you.
[09:17] Kami
    Well, maybe he did.
[09:17] Naka
    Like "Mom, could you iron this on for me, Mommy?"
[09:20] Saku
    It's possible. An iron-on transfer is very possible.
[09:22] Kami
    I wonder if he did.
[09:24] Naka
    I had no clue what you were saying here.
[09:25] Kami
    I didn't, either.
[09:25] Naka
    Choromatsu's part here.
[09:26] Kami
    Yeah.
[09:28] Saku
    He said something about an agenda.
[09:30] Kami
    I looked it up, but I still didn't get it.
[09:33] Naka
    Ah, this part is great.
[09:34] Saku
    Choromatsu's actually not that bad.
    I mean, he's sort of the straight man.
[09:38] Kami
    Yeah, he's known as the straight man.
[09:40] Saku
    True.
[09:41] Kami
    That's not really the case, though.
    But his introduction was sort of intense.
[09:44] Saku
    It definitely was.
[09:44] Naka
    Yeah.
[09:46] Kami
    But I think, in order to be able
    to tell all of our characters apart,
[09:50] Kami
    it was necessary to give him that role.
[09:52] Kami
    Though I've gotten used to it lately.
[09:54] Saku
    You have?
[09:54] Kami
    Yes.
[09:55] Kami
    I've got about the same amount
    of lines as everyone else now.
[09:58] Kami
    I'm very thankful for that.
[09:59] Naka
    ***** is coming up now, right?
[10:02] Kami
    Ah... Right. This is all building up to
    something that might happen next year.
[10:06] Saku
    Yeah.
[10:06] Naka
    Yeah.
[10:07] Kami
    So please look forward to it.
[10:08] Saku
    Yeah, there's, uh... something insane waiting.
[10:11] Kami
    Yeah.
[10:12] Naka
    Yeah. It's not what we're looking at now,
[10:14] Naka
    but the episode before this special...
[10:16] Naka
    The episode before this one
    we're commenting on was bad, too.
[10:19] Saku
    Yes, it was.
[10:19] Kami
    Ah, yeah.
[10:21] Kami
    I really wish it would stop.
[10:22] Naka
    I actually don't know the order anymore.
[10:26] Kami
    I mean, Todomatsu's "Totty" is fine.
[10:30] Kami
    That one's just fine... But that
    one name is seriously not okay.
[10:34] Naka
    You think so?
[10:34] Kami
    Yeah.
[10:35] Naka
    But I'm kind of sad that it hasn't
    shown up in the scripts since then.
[10:38] Saku
    Yeah.
[10:39] Kami
    That's not okay. I'm being serious, guys.
[10:42] Naka
    So it'd be better if it was ad-libbed...
[10:43] Kami
    That name applies to all of
    the sextuplets, to be honest.
[10:48] Naka
    I see.
[10:49] Saku
    So that's why.
[10:50] Kami
    Yeah.
[10:51] Naka
    I guess that's true.
[10:51] Kami
    Yeah.
[10:52] Naka
    So it's not just him.
[10:53] Kami
    It's all of them.
[10:54] Saku
    So it's not like "Totty."
[10:55] Kami
    Right. That one name applies to all of them...
[10:59] Kami
    Who knows? They might just say ...
[11:01] Kami

    Or .
[11:03] Naka

    Well, once ***** gets added...
[11:04] Kami**
    Yeah, I mean, that might happen...
[11:06] Naka
    Well, ***** is...
[11:07] Kami
    Shut up already!
[11:09] Kamii
    I just didn't want say it myself.
[11:14] Kami
    Seriously, it's awful.
[11:15] Sakura
    It's crazy.
[11:15] Kami
    Yeah.
[11:17] Saku
    It's like... Huh? Is it time already?
    Or do we have a little more?
[11:20] Kami
    There's still some time.
[11:20] Saku
    Yeah.
[11:21] Naka
    We're still okay.
[11:21] Kami
    About another minute.
[11:22] Sau
    But I thought it was amazing
[11:24] Sau
    that they kept using "Totty."
[11:26] Naka
    It's still coming up.
[11:27] Kami
    He keeps getting called Totty.
[11:29] Both
    Yeah.
[11:30] Saku
    I think everyone's used to it now.
[11:32] Kami
    Yeah, he's totally Totty now.
[11:33] Naka
    It sunk in.
[11:34] Saku
    To the point where the fans
    call him "Totty," too.
[11:36] Naka
    I think they do.
[11:37] Saku
    Yeah.
[11:37] Kami
    It was just mean at first.
[11:38] Kami
    Yeah, it totally was at first.
[11:40] Naka
    We said it sarcastically as an insult.
[11:42] Saku
    Exactly.
[11:43] Naka
    But it's a nickname.
[11:45] Saku
    Todomatsu is sort of the victim.
[11:48] Saku
    It seems like he could break free of them, too.
[11:49] Kami
    But he can't.
[11:50] Saku
    Nope.
[11:51] Kami
    Well, his brothers are like demons.
[11:53] Naka
    They won't let him get away. Not a chance.
[11:58] Saku
    So lately, among the fans,
    there are apparently some people
[12:02] Saku
    actually researching stuff about the episodes.
[12:05] Kami
    Oh, really?
[12:06] Naka
    Like about the characters?
[12:07] Sakku
    Yeah, apparently they discuss
[12:08] Sakku
    how an episode might have actually
    meant something deeper...
[12:12] Saku
    At least, that's what I heard from the staff.
[12:15] Saku
    That's a good trend, though.
[12:17] Kami
    Well, we're definitely having
    a lot of fun with it.
[12:19] Saku
    Though that's about as deep as it gets for us.
[12:20] Naka
    Yeah.
[12:21] Saku
    Right, so now...
[12:22] Naka
    Yes.
[12:23] Saku
    I'd like to hand this off to
    the members for the latter half.
[12:24] Naka
    Those guys.
[12:26] Kami
    So we're passing the baton.
[12:27] Saku
    Yes.
[12:27] Kami
    Okay, see you next year.
[12:28] Saku
    See you.
[12:28] Naka
    Thanks!
[12:29] Person
    Break time!
[12:31] Fuku
    The second half of the Osomatsu-san
    Year-End Special starts now!
[12:35] Fuku
    I'm Fukuyama Jun, who plays the fourth
    brother, Ichimatsu, and next is our MC...
[12:39] Ono
    Oh, I get to be the MC?
[12:40] Ono
    Uh, I'm Ono Daisuke, who plays the
    fifth brother, Jyushimatsu, and...
[12:43] Iri
    I'm Irino, who plays the
    youngest brother, Todomatsu.
[12:45] Fuku
    Yes, so the second half
    will be with us three.
[12:48] Irino
    Yes.
[12:48] Fuku
    The three of us will...
[12:50] Three
    Hustle, hustle! Muscle, muscle!
[12:53] Fuku
    And that's the end of the script they provided.
[12:56] Iri
    Right.
[12:56] Ono
    So then...
[12:56] Iri
    Ono-san mentioned that he
    wanted to be the MC today.
[13:02] Ono
    Yeah, let me be the MC.
[13:03] Fuku
    Right.
[13:03] Fuku
    The three blockheads in the first part
    actually had their crap together.
[13:06] Iri
    Don't call them blockheads!
[13:07] Ono
    Just because they're not here...
[13:08] Irino
    You scared me! What was that?
[13:10] Ono
    You actually went there,
    just because they're not around?
[13:11] Fuku
    Isn't that something I can say since they're gone?
[13:13] Fuku
    I can totally say that, right?
[13:14] Iri
    Yeah.
[13:15] Ono
    No, you can't.
[13:15] Fuku
    I can't?
[13:16] Ono
    Well, we were actually in the
    studio for the first part.
[13:20] Fuku
    Yes, we were.
[13:21] Ono
    Yes.
[13:21] Fuku
    Right.
[13:21] Ono
    We were listening along...
[13:23] Fuku
    You kept leaking, Ono-kun.
[13:24] Ono
    Huh?! Wait, what?
[13:25] Fuku
    You kept leaking.
[13:26] Ono
    Leaking?
[13:26] Fuku
    Yup, leaking.
[13:27] Ono
    Leaking what?
[13:28] Fuku
    Your thoughts kept leaking out.
    Like, through gestures.
[13:30] Ono
    Thoughts? Oh, yeah, I was.
[13:32] Fuku
    You were like, "Yeah, that's right."
[13:34] Ono
    I was, the whole time.
[13:35] Ono
    And of course, Miyu-kun was laughing.
[13:37] Iri
    No, I wasn't laughing that much.
[13:39] Iri
    Jun-san was laughing a lot too, though.
[13:41] Fuku
    Oh, mics don't pick me up well,
    so they couldn't hear me.
[13:42] Iri
    You liar!
[13:44] Ono
    He doesn't play fair.
[13:46] Fuku
    What?
[13:46] Ono
    He's figured out the perfect way
[13:47] Fuku
    Yeah.
[13:48] Ono
    to laugh without being picked up by the mics.
[13:50] Fuku
    Yup.
[13:51] Ono
    But Miyu-kun doesn't even seem to care.
[13:53] Fuku
    He laughs when other people are talking.
[13:55] Iri
    I was actually just told in an interview
[13:55] Ono
    It overlaps.
[13:59] Iri
    that the other brothers keep
    complaining that I laugh too much.
[14:03] Ono
    Right.
[14:04] Iri
    So... In regards to that, I told them,
[14:08] Iri
    I get told that so much,
    it doesn't even bother me anymore.
[14:11] Ono
    It doesn't bother you anymore?
    Not "you don't care anymore"?
[14:14] Iri
    I mean, if you can't laugh when you're
    having fun, what's the point?
[14:19] Ono
    Yeah, life would be boring.
[14:19] Fuku
    Well, I think it's fine to laugh
    when you're having fun...
[14:23] Fuku
    But when you laugh while we're
    recording, we have to do a retake.
[14:25] Iri
    Oh, right...
[14:25] Fuku
    I've had to retake, like, three
    times because you were laughing.
[14:29] Ono
    How long have you been in the business?!
[14:31] Iri
    I'm sorry. You're right, that's not good.
[14:33] Fuku
    But, like, when someone laughs
    at your part, you can't be mad.
[14:37] Iri
    Exactly.
[14:38] Ono
    That does make you happy.
[14:38] Fuku
    Right.
[14:40] Ono
    They talked about this earlier, but
    Nakamura-kun and Miyu-kun laugh a lot.
[14:46] Fuku
    It's not so bad with Miyu-kun
    since it's just default,
[14:48] Fuku
    but once something makes Nakamura laugh,
[14:50] Fuku
    he can't shake it off.
[14:51] Ono
    Yeah, once he starts, he can't stop.
[14:52] Iri
    It's not good.
[14:53] Fuku
    It's so bad, he can't even say his lines.
[14:56] Iri
    Yeah.
[14:58] Ono
    Like, "Hey, it's your line."
[14:59] Fukku
    With the first episode of the new year,
    he couldn't even say his lines anymore.
[15:05] Iri
    Yeah, he couldn't. That actually happened.
[15:07] Fuku
    I was like, "What's with you?"
[15:10] Ono
    So with this commentary today...
[15:13] Fuku
    Yes.
[15:13] Ono
    There's apparently a theme where
    we pick the worst sextuplet.
[15:17] Iri
    You know, I've been thinking...
[15:19] Iri
    I'm not sure if he's the worst,
    but Ichimatsu's definitely the scariest.
[15:23] Fuku
    Wait, wait, wait, wait...
[15:23] Ono
    I agree.
[15:24] Iri
    Ichimatsu's seriously scary.
[15:26] Fuku
    Really?
[15:26] Ono
    Darkness. Total darkness.
[15:26] Fuku
    Really?
[15:27] Iri
    I mean, this script has nominated
    episodes listed for everyone...
[15:31] Both
    Yeah.
[15:31] Iri
    For example, Jyushimatsu has "swims in a river."
[15:36] Ono
    Swims in a river...
[15:36] Iri
    "Holds Ichimatsu so he can get his shot."
[15:37] Ono
    That's on screen now, yeah.
[15:39] Fuku
    Yeah.
[15:39] Iri
    And the one we're about to see is the one
    where he's all hyper in the morning.
[15:42] Ono
    Right.
[15:43] Iri
    Jun-san, could you read the parts
    Ichimatsu was nominated for?
[15:45] Fuku
    Okay, let's see... "Episode 4: Threatens mother."
[15:48] Fuku
    "Episode 7: Tries to defecate
    on table, then exposes himself."
[15:51] Fuku
    "Episode 11: Picks fight with couple."
[15:53] ---
    He's terrible!
[15:54] Iri
    The first two are so intense
    that the last one seems normal.
[15:57] Ono
    Yeah, that seems normal.
[15:59] Fuku
    The first two would actually be crimes.
[16:02] Iri
    Those are totally crimes.
[16:04] Fuku
    If you just read it.
[16:04] Ono
    He does expose himself quite often.
[16:07] Fuku
    I don't think he exposes himself that often,
[16:09] Fuku
    but I don't think he considers it a hazard, either.
[16:12] Ono
    Hazard...
[16:13] Iri
    I think Ichimatsu's got the most swing.
[16:15] Fuku
    Yeah.
[16:15] Ono
    Right.
[16:16] Fuku
    When he gets mad, his voice gets so loud.
[16:18] Iri
    Yeah, that...
[16:19] Ono
    Right, right.
[16:19] Iri
    In the Totty episode...
[16:21] Both
    Yeah.
[16:22] Iri
    When he exposes himself at the end...
[16:24] Ono
    Ahh...
[16:25] Iri
    It's just scary.
[16:25] Fuku
    Oh, the "Hey! Hey!"
[16:27] Fuku
    "Hey! Hey!"
[16:28] Ono
    That's scary! That's so scary!
[16:28] Iri
    I've never heard that sound before.
[16:31] Ono
    He comes up with voices
    you've never heard on the fly.
[16:33] Fuku
    Yeah.
[16:33] Oono
    And that's terrifying.
[16:34] Fuku
    But the fun thing about Ichimatsu
    is getting to do stuff like that.
[16:37] Iri
    It's amazing.
[16:37] Both
    Yeah.
[16:38] Iri
    And then there was the ESP kitty...
[16:40] Fuk
    Oh, with ESP kitty, everyone
    says that was a good story...
[16:43] Iri
    Yeah.
[16:44] Fuku
    But was it really a good story?
[16:45] Ono
    That was like a giant set-up for
    Karamatsu's punchline at the end.
[16:49] Fuku
    Right, right.
[16:50] Fuku
    So it was basically written to make
    Karamatsu seem even more unfortunate.
[16:54] Ono
    Yeah, exactly.
[16:54] Fuku
    Which would make it bad, right?
[16:56] Ono
    That was nothing but bad intentions.
[16:57] Fuku
    Towards Karamatsu.
[16:58] Ono
    Yeah, totally on purpose.
[17:00] Fuku
    It's when you realize just how unfortunate
    Karamatsu is that you feel for him.
[17:04] Ono
    Yeah... Ichimatsu's darkness is intense.
[17:08] Ono
    Like, he turned into a cat, right?
[17:09] Fuku
    He did.
[17:10] Ono
    I had no idea what was going on there.
[17:12] Fuku
    It just suddenly happens in episode two.
[17:14] Ono
    Yeah, he just meowed out of nowhere.
[17:16] Fuku
    Right? I had no idea what to do...
[17:18] Ono
    Then he disappears onto
    the top of a building.
[17:19] Iri
    He's a mystery.
[17:20] Fuku
    Yeah, totally.
[17:21] Ono
    He's scary.
[17:21] Iri
    He's the most mysterious.
[17:23] Fuku
    But Totty's a mystery, too. How is he a virgin
    when he's leading all these girls around?
[17:28] Iri
    I'm not sure. Maybe something
    always gets in his way.
[17:32] Ono
    Oh, every time he...
[17:33] Iri
    Maybe he never follows through to the end.
[17:35] Both
    Ahh...
[17:36] Iri
    I mean, I'm sure he's gotten pretty far.
[17:38] Both
    Yeah.
[17:38] Fuku
    Or he could actually be hiding
    something from everyone.
[17:43] ---
    Ah, hiding...
[17:44] Ono
    You think so?
[17:44] Iri
    Well, there was a later episode
    that said Todomatsu was .
[17:49] Fuku

    Oh, yeah, there was.
[17:51] Ono*
    .
[17:52] Iri

    Yeah, there's also .
[17:54] Iri

    But since I've been playing his role,
    I totally understand Todomatsu.
[17:58] Ono**
    Really? Like what?
[18:01] Iri
    Like when he gets called a dried-up monster.
[18:05] Iri
    Or like, that he knows how to make it in society.
[18:09] Fuku
    You just said that about yourself!
[18:10] Ono
    So you're aware of it.
[18:11] Iri
    Well, I've been doing this since
    I was a child actor, so...
[18:14] Fuku
    Yeah.
[18:14] Ono
    That's true.
[18:16] Ono
    I guess you guys are similar.
[18:16] Fuku
    Come to think of it, I think we're all
    sort of like our characters.
[18:20] Ono
    Oh! So you're like Ichimatsu?
[18:21] Fuku
    Jyu...
[18:21] Ono
    You wanna ask about Jyushimatsu?
[18:23] Fuku
    Yeah, I do.
[18:24] Ono
    Okay, bring it on.
[18:24] Iri
    You and Jyushimatsu were totally being
    dissed by the older three earlier.
[18:28] Ono
    That's right. They were totally dissing us.
[18:30] Iri
    How you're gonna get more and more boring...
[18:35] Fuku
    That's a thing you don't recover from.
[18:36] Ono
    I really wanted to argue that, but...
[18:40] Iri
    Then you should do that right now.
[18:40] Ono
    But I couldn't think of anything to say.
[18:41] Iri
    You couldn't?!
[18:42] Ono
    Yeah, I bet. I mean, they were right.
[18:43] Fuku
    They hit the nail on the head?
[18:44] Ono
    They did. I mean, saying what's in
    the script is actually the funniest.
[18:48] Fuku
    Yeah.
[18:49] Ono
    So I want to bring this up right now,
    and I'm sure you guys do, too...
[18:52] Ono
    Everything we say is in the script.
[18:53] Fuku
    Yeah.
[18:54] Ono
    We're reading the script as it is.
[18:56] Iri
    Yeah.
[18:56] Fuku
    I actually don't like ad-libbing very much.
[19:00] Ono
    R-Right... I don't know about your other shows, but...
[19:02] Fuku
    That's only because they ask me to.
[19:04] Ono
    Oh, really?
[19:05] Fuku
    Yeah. In general, I don't want to
    change anything in the script.
[19:09] Iri
    We were getting to the story where Ono-san
[19:12] Iri
    ad-libbed a part and the whole
    thing was omitted, right?
[19:14] Ono
    Yeah, the whole thing.
[19:16] Ono
    The thing I did during the water tricks
    in "Jyushimatsu Falls in Love."
[19:20] Iri
    Do it right now.
[19:21] Ono
    The one where I go "kssshhhh" was...
[19:23] Ono
    Hey, why did you guys get silent?
[19:25] Fuku
    Well, when we were watching you do that,
[19:27] Fuku
    we were saying it'd probably get cut.
[19:31] Ono
    But you guys said that the more
    I did it, the funnier it got...
[19:36] Ono
    That's why I kept doing it, and when I saw
    the broadcast, it was completely gone.
[19:40] Fuku
    That's because you can only see
    something for the first time once.
[19:43] Ono
    That's true.
[19:43] Fuku
    The second time, you know what'll happen.
[19:45] Ono
    Yeah.
[19:46] Fuku
    Exactly.
[19:46] Ono
    That's exactly it.
[19:47] Fuku
    Yup.
[19:47] Ono
    I was being a bit selfish.
[19:49] Fuku
    And Kuwashima-san's laugh was great.
[19:51] Iri
    Yeah, that's true.
[19:51] Ono
    Yes! That was amazing.
[19:53] Fukku
    No one but Kuwashima-san
    could have done that.
[19:55] Iri
    Right?
[19:56] Ono
    And this actually wasn't my idea,
[19:58] Ono
    but there was a time Karamatsu,
    a.k.a. Nakamura-kun, pushed me...
[20:03] Ono
    The scene where Jyushimatsu answers the phone.
[20:05] Ono
    The one where he says,
    "Hello, this is Jyushimatsu."
[20:09] Ono
    He kept bugging me to ad-lib, "Hello, this is ."
[20:11] Ono

    I remember that!
[20:13] Ono*
    Like, after the rehearsal,
    and right before the recording.
[20:16] Both
    So when I actually did it, I was told,
[20:18] Ono
    "Jyushimatsu wouldn't do that,
    so please try that one more time."
[20:22] Fuku
    Yeah, when you go a bit too far,
    they get really cold.
[20:25] Ono
    Yeah, we shouldn't.
[20:26] Fuku
    In episode one, I was planning on
    going a bit nuts to set the mood,
[20:30] Fuu
    and when I was getting hyped up,
    the producers behind me
[20:33] Fuku
    were all giving me dirty looks.
[20:36] Ono
    Yeah.
[20:37] Iri
    I remember that.
[20:38] Iri
    But it's true that Jyushimatsu's
    not trying to be funny.
[20:41] Ono
    Yeah, he's not.
[20:43] Iri
    Actually, he probably got the
    most helpful criticism.
[20:46] Ono
    And all I could say to that
    was "Yes... Yes, right."
[20:51] Iri
    I remember that.
[20:52] Ono
    And then apologizing...
[20:53] Fuku
    Oh, I love Totty's face right here!
[20:55] Ono
    Oh, that face!
[20:55] Fukku
    It's amazing!
[20:56] Ono
    That face is amazing.
[20:57] Fuku
    It's fantastic.
[20:58] Iri
    Everyone was talking about it.
[20:59] Fuku
    That face will go down in anime history.
[21:00] Iri
    I was so grateful for this, seriously.
[21:03] Fuku
    You don't often see this face
    in Heisei-era anime.
[21:05] Ono
    There it is again!
[21:06] Fuku
    That's so good!
[21:07] Irino
    I'm very grateful to all the staff
    members who drew that face.
[21:08] Ono
    And again, Totty.
[21:09] Fuku
    Yeah.
[21:11] Fukku
    I want someone to make a
    super-realistic figure of that.
[21:15] Iri
    Apparently there are a lot
    of fans who draw that face.
[21:19] Fukku
    Yeah.
[21:19] Ono
    That face...
[21:21] Fuku
    Well, the first three were
    talking about it, as well,
[21:24] Fuku
    but the reaction to this show is amazing.
[21:25] Iri
    It is.
[21:26] Ono
    It really is. Everyone talks to me about it.
[21:26] Fuku
    Yeah.
[21:28] ---
    Right?
[21:28] Ono
    Every recording I go to.
[21:28] Iri
    I was in a play while we were recording this...
[21:32] Ono
    Right.
[21:32] Iri
    One of the actresses, who was a top
    Takarazuka actress, said she loved "Osomatsu."
[21:39] Fuku
    Whoa, seriously?
[21:40] Ono
    Even people like that are saying that...
[21:41] Fuku
    So Zuka likes Matsu?
[21:42] Irino
    "Zuka likes Matsu"? Zuka does like Matsu, yes.
[21:44] Fuku
    But the other guys said that people
[21:46] Fuku
    are talking to them about
    this show every day, right?
[21:49] Iri
    Yeah.
[21:49] Fuku
    No one talks to me about it.
[21:51] Iri
    That's because Ichimatsu's scary.
[21:53] Ono
    Yeah. They probably don't know
    if they should bring it up.
[21:54] Fuku
    That's ridiculous!
[21:56] Ono
    They think they shouldn't mention it.
[21:56] Fuku
    People talked to me about it
    at first, but lately, nothing!
[22:00] Ono
    Really?
[22:01] Fuku
    Well, actually, right before this, I recorded
    the final episode for another series.
[22:08] Fuku
    And the creator of that series said to me,
[22:10] Fuku
    "You were great, Fukuyama-san.
    You know what's amazing about you?"
[22:12] Fuku
    "Your voice on this show is nothing like Ichimatsu's."
    I don't know if it was a compliment or not.
[22:17] Ono
    When someone mentions this
    show the first you meet them,
[22:20] Ono
    you're not sure how to react.
[22:21] Fuku
    Oh, good point.
[22:22] Ono
    "N-Nice to meet you.
[22:23] Ono
    I've been watching your show." Then
    I ask what show, and they say this one.
[22:26] Ono
    Then it sorta gets quiet.
[22:27] Fuku
    Yeah.
[22:30] Fuku
    So, whatever you missed
    Ono-kun saying during the
[22:33] Fuku
    commercials can be found on the Blu-ray.
[22:34] Ono
    Aw, that's too bad. I wanted everyone to hear that.
[22:34] Iri
    That's totally a lie! Don't lie!
[22:37] Fuku
    What?
[22:37] Iri
    Don't lie.
[22:38] Fuku
    Who cares if it's a lie? It'll get us more sales.
[22:40] Iri
    Ah, okay, you're right.
[22:40] Ono
    I see.
[22:43] Fuku
    Is this going to be on the Blu-ray?
[22:44] Iri
    No idea.
[22:45] Ono
    Who knows?
[22:45] Fuku
    So anyway, we've reached the end.
[22:48] Ono
    That went by fast.
[22:49] Fukku
    Remember, it's this year's last Matsu.
[22:51] Ono
    Matsu.
[22:51] Irino
    Oh, it's the last Matsu of the year?
[22:52] Fuku
    The Lastmatsu.
[22:54] Ono
    Well, it's the end of the year
    (nendomatsu).
[22:55] Fuku
    Yup, and at the beginning of the
    year, you'll have a kadomatsu.
[23:00] ---
    Wow...
[23:02] Ono
    Don't say funny stuff! It's about to end!
[23:04] Fukku
    Well...
[23:04] Iri
    Ono-san, you should say something. You're the MC.
[23:06] Fuku
    Yeah, wrap things up.
[23:07] Ono
    You weren't even thinking of me as the MC!
[23:08] Fuku
    We'll all wait (matsu) for you to wrap this up.
[23:10] Ono
    What the... I mean, that was good,
    but it keeps getting all quiet for a second!
[23:15] Iri
    I think there's about a minute left.
[23:16] Ono
    A minute, huh?
[23:17] Fuku
    Yeah.
[23:18] Iri
    Ono-san, say something to wrap this up.
[23:19] Ono
    Well, who do you think is the biggest loser?
[23:23] Iri
    All of them.
[23:25] Fuku
    If we had to pick...
[23:26] Ono
    Don't say it like that.
[23:26] Fuku
    Well, we're not picking who's the best.
[23:28] Ono
    Oh, I see.
[23:29] Fuku
    Well, who do you think is the biggest loser, D?
[23:33] Ono
    I think all of them, too...
[23:34] Iri
    What the heck?
[23:35] Ono
    Hey, don't sound so disappointed.
[23:36] Iri
    Well, you complained when I said "all of them," so...
[23:41] Fuku
    Right?
[23:41] Ono
    Well, maybe Dekapan, then.
[23:42] Fuku
    But he's not a Matsu.
[23:44] Fuku
    Okay! So, we've come to the end...
[23:46] Iri
    Crap, we're really ending with this? Wow...
[23:47] Fuku
    So, uh, I think you'll all be very surprised
    by the first episode of the new year.
[23:52] Iri
    Yes.
[23:52] Fuku
    So...
[23:53] Ono
    Yes.
[23:53] Fuku
    Please look forward to the first
    "Osomatsu-san" episode of the new year.
[23:57] Fuku
    See you again, everyone.
[23:59] Iri
    Oh, that was great. Thank you very much.
[23:59] Ono
    Thank you!
[24:00] Iri
    Oh, there's the sponsors! We love you!
[24:02] Ono
    We love you!
[24:02] Irino
    We love you so much!
[24:03] Irino
    We love you! We love you!
[24:04] Ono
    We really love you!
[24:05] Fuku
    Give us lots of work!
[24:06] Iri
    Give us... yeah!
[24:06] Ono
    You're the best!
[24:07] Fuku
    Give us lots of work! Lots!
[24:08] Iri
    So cute!
