Greeting

Apparently there was a lot of bad manners- moving from your seat to try and get closer to the members as they came around during this show...

MC--!

Koyama and Shige start off by talking about how small the place is. Shige comments they haven't been to Kumamoto in awhile and Koyama questions if this hall was meant for concerts.

Koyama mentions that since they only have one show this day they can go all out and not worry about being tired for later shows. But they start wondering if the side seats can hear what they're saying and Ryo says they should just move around while they talk. Ryo comments earlier he was singing Hoshi wo Mezashite while facing the main stage, and does some of the hand movements. The audience screams happily seeing this.

Koyama comments there are parent-child seats at this show and Yamapi says he waved at them. Koyama then changes the subject to how they haven't done anything Kumamoto-like since coming to Kumamoto, but Shige mentions they had horsemeat. Koyama says he ate a horsemeat croquette and the audience yelled the name of that dish at him.

Koyama mentions that in Hiroshima Tegoshi called it Oita and Ryo adds that "Today Tegoshi thought we were in Kagoshima!" (jokingly) and Tegoshi rebuts this like "That's not trueee~" and a cutesy speaking voice. The camera then zoomed in on Tegoshi and Ryo's faces.

Koyama says they're going to three prefectures in Kyuushuu for this tour and asks the audience to teach NEWS some cutesy Kumamoto expressions. They yell ~to ~ bai and Koyama and Yamapi start saying "Suki bai!" (I like you). Tegomasu wonder if the audience can see them, so Massu steps up.

Ryo: Kumamoto's really wonderful! Since it's a big city~ I haven't come here very often but it's pretty nice isn't it? Hey, (looking at Tegoshi) did you know Kumamoto was this nice?
Tegoshi: I didn't.
Ryo: Don't underestimate Kumamoto!
Shige: I went on a school field trip to Kumamoto, Fukuoka and Nagasaki!
Koyama: I know about Aso! With calderas!
Shige: That was surprisingly not nice... just mountains and stuff...
Yamapi: Don't mock mountains!
Shige: Ah no, Yamashita-kun is fine but it's not that nice because they're Koyama and small mountains you know. Last time we went to Hawaii Koyama called himself "Small Mountain" to the Hawaiians too.
Koyama: So, what's Kato?
Shige: Kato's a name.
Massu: There's thousands and thousands of family names aren't there.
Ryo: In Korea there's apparently only hundreds.

They then start talking about how Nishikido is a common name in Kumamoto, and indeed there are people in the audience with that name. Koyama comments him and Yamapi are a mountain team and Yamapi's like "No we aren't LOL". Massu comments his name means increasing ricefields and Ryo comments his family must have eaten nothing but rice a long time ago. Yamapi questions what Tegoshi's name means and Shige comments it seems like an aristocrats name. Tegoshi comments "I went to a normal school and ate normal meals" and Koyama's like "WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR ANCESTORS! XD" Shige comments his ancestors were samurai.

They start talking about Massu's hair and how he actually sets it. Shige makes fun of it a bit saying it's like a helmet and the audience yells (supporting Massu) that it's cute. Koyama then questions "If Massu's cute, what about Tegoshi?" and they yell cute. "What about Ryo-chan?" audience yells cool. "Shige?" and the audience is like "Cool!!...?"

Massu comments that lately it's been normal for Shige to be bullied/picked on but he doesn't like it when Shige's being picked on without him knowing. So if Massu is out on the street or something and hears people talking about NEWS he gets really curious and listens, but it bothers him when people talk about Shige rudely (like "aitsu sa")

The spotlight is kind of blinding Ryo and he complains it's bright. Koyama apologizes to the fans because sometimes the spotlight shines on them while moving and it's really bright.

Shige then throws his water multiple times and Ryo gets angry like "Don't throw it!" and Yamapi says "Now now, everyone let's get alone!" and Koyama questions Yamapi if he likes Kumamoto. He does and says he has a lot of friends from here and came here with 2 friends in high school. Also he gets Kame to get him horsemeat from Kumamoto every year. Koyama wonders if he should ask for some too.

Yamapi then says "Well lets do our best as the Mountain Combination!" and Koyamapi leave.

Massu advertises the Rescue drama and then Ryo leaves. Shige advertises Call and Code Blue, then the NEWS calendar. The theme is going to be "pure" since last year was "cool". Massu comments Tegoshi is good at doing one move at a time for the camera, so they have him do it. Massu tries to get Shige to do it too and comments Shige does a lot of one foot raised jumping kind of poses. Tegoshi says that pose is cool and Massu says Shige's face is cool and Shige's like "Praise me more XDD".

Ginza Rhapsody time.

Apparently at the very end instead of saying "Arigatou" Ryo said "Shigekatou"

MC---!

Koyama asks the audience what's up with work, since this is a weekday and the audience says they took off work. Koyama's like "Eh? Really? For us?? Thank you!!!" and Ryo tells him to stop with that subject since the audience came all the way here.

NEWS talks about how they went out to eat the night of the 17th after the concerts. Had horsemeat and renkon. The old lady working at/running the shop called Yamapi a "sexy" guy and forcibly got a handshake. And apparently she was touching his hand like "I wondered what the hands of young guys these days feel like" XDD Yamapi comments he's called cool a lot but not sexy to his face. Massu was sitting near some of the staff (NEWS and staff went out to eat) and the old lady asked Massu what he was and he was like "A member of the group XDD" causing all the members to laugh. After hearing that the lady was just kind of like "O-oh...".
They then talked about how the staff had ordered stuff ahead of time so as soon as everyone got to the resturant food started coming out. Yamapi and Tegoshi ordered some stuff special themselves but it didn't come out until much later.
Ryo freaks out a bit about how he got the biggest tangerine looking thing ever, even bigger than boobs. He can't remember what it's called though and the audience tells him it's banpeiyu. Ryo was really excited about it. He apparently got two.

They then start talking about the luggage members bring.
Koyama: Massu why's your bag always so big? What are you bringing?
Massu: Umm... jerseys, sweats? And since this is a 2 day trip I have two pairs. Then other clothes.
Shige: You're wearing clothes!
Massu: I also often bring vitamins and stuff even though I might not end up drinking them. And shampoo...
Ryo: You BRING shampoo?
Massu: Ah, yeah.
KoyaShige: I bring it too.
Ryo: EEEH.
Koyama: I want to feel at home in the hotel room.... but Ryo-chan, you really have very little luggage.
Ryo then talks about how he brings almost nothing (bag is normally mostly empty, just with wires and stuff. he often doesn't even bring underwear and just washes what he's wearing XD), Yamapi too. During Code Blue filming though Fuji TV always saw Yamapi with a little vinyl bag so gave him a Fuji one.

Tegoshi was having issues XD He kept speaking without his mic and stuff. Ryo questions if he's sleepy or something and Tegoshi comments the light is so bright that it's making him sleeply because it feels so good. Koyama then comments Tegoshi's hairstyle of the day is kind of like his hair from Shabake.

Koyama then comments he saw Yamapi's new commercial this morning. They start talking about how Yamapi talks with Tamura sometimes. Massu says he talks to Takeda too, about memories from Kinpachi days. But before Massu was Kazama and after him was Yaotome so it seems like he might be forgetting.
As Massu was talking about this Shige was making a kind of sad face and so Ryo suddenly says "Shige was in Kinpachi too!". Shige talks about how his role was bigger, his character was like a supporting role who liked the main character (Aya Ueto). Massu talks about how in Kinpachi it's decided what kind of characters will sit in which seats. Koyama asks Massu what his character was and he says he was the attractive and popular classmate... though sometimes when the whole classroom was shown he'd be cut off. Shige continues complaining his wants to meet and talk with Takeda too and Massu tries to comfort him saying he was chosen because he seems more udon like (LOL). Massu says he had like four crates of the stuff in his house and asks the audience if they've been eating it, he eats it a lot.

Massu brings up that Tegoshi used to imitate Tamura a lot so they have Tegoshi do the imitation and talk to Yamapi.
Audience yells at Ryo to do Gachapin and he says he'll NEVER do that again, it was something he stole from a friend in the first place and Johnny's Jimusho wise it's NG LOL. He continues to say Gachapin is amazing though, climbing Mount Everest and stuff. Koyama elaborates that he goes scuba diving and stuff too. Yamapi says Gachapin dances too. They then start trying to figure out what the relation between Gachapin and Muk is and suddenly Tegoshi's like "Is the red one Muk????". Koyama tells him not to ask things like that, they'll tell him later backstage if he needs to know haha.

Koyama apologizes that everyone came out on a weekday to see them but the talk turned into a backstage kind of rambling conversation... and Ryo comments "You started with that 'everyone came out on a weekday' and you're ending with it??"

Koyamapi leave.

Tegoshi comments he's happy to be singing and dancing and rajibandariing there today and the audience screams. They do that joke for a bit and briefly introduce/comment about their movies, dramas, etc. Shige's doing nothing. Shige and Ryo leave Tegomasu alone on stage XD Tegomasu comment they're bad at MCing. Massu says when they first went on Domoto Kyodai they had decided Tegoshi, who talks a lot, would answer the questions and Massu would just made side comments. But it turned out reverse. Tegoshi laughs hearing this brought up again XD

Shige did his introduction thing where he says the next song is the last song and causes the audience to be like "EEH D:". Yamapi says he's a doctor for everyone, and if they have somewhere that hurts he'll heal it.

Some of the members put Shige's name into the lyrics of 'NEWS NIPPON' randomly.

Apparently Yamapi messed up the Daite Senorita lyrics.


MC---!

Koyama comments how this is the last show in Kumamoto, and it went by fast. Shige says he's satisfied with it all. Koyama asks the audience if they bought the towel and Massu says he wants a lot of towels. The others tell him he should buy them then. Koyama mentions that when he goes and stays at Shige's place and borrows pajamas he gets NEWS tshirts.

Koyama says a lot of people in Kumamoto are wearing the hat pin Tegoshi pushed for so much. Yamapi changes the topic to what they do in their private time and Koyama asks Tegoshi what he did on his last day off. Tegoshi can't remember when that was and Koyama says he probably played soccer and when to a game arcade. Shige asks what game he's been playing and Tegoshi won't tell.

Yamapi says on his last day off he went karaoke with just Koyama, and out to eat. They were in karaoke for 2~3 hours. Sung I.ZA.NA.I.ZU.KI and they sung Shige's "Kuchizuke wo~"

The topic changes to kuchizuke wo and how Shige always faces the camera when he does it and a lot of the audience does it with him. Koyama comments Shige's always doing it (in his normal life too and such) and Shige's like "Do not, stop". Massu brings up that in Taiwan instead of yelling "Shige!" people were yelling "Kuchizuke wo!" and says Shige's next solo song should just be "kuchizuke wo".

Members get on a kick complimenting Koyama for being so nice, always lending them things and money. They comment even if you spill juice on his clothing he wouldn't get mad. Massu comments he has a short temper.

Ryo says he stays at home on days off, maybe goes to the grocery store. He likes to cook. Koyama asks what he's good at and he says shougayaki.

Massu does muscle training, and had an end of the year party recently that he went to. He doesn't like doing things in groups though.

One of the nights during the Oita party Yamapi went to Shige's room to hang out with him but Shige was like "I have to write my serial essay...". Yamapi was like "Do that on your days off!" but Shige said his deadline was the end of the year so he had to hurry up. They ask if people read Shige's essays and they do.

Randomly Shige mentions lately he's been wanting to go to the pool. Ryo says he can't do the crawl or butterfly and asks Massu to teach him. Massu says they should all go to the pool XD Koyama says he does karate on his days off and Yamapi's like "You don't get mad or fight with people so you don't need to do karate".

Koyamapi leave.

Everyone advertises their stuff.
