VS Arashi 2018.05.03: OP Talk Translated

[earth_colors]

Here is my translation of VS嵐2018年05月03日 OPT:
(Today's OPT is minus S since he's in the opposing team, to promote his new movie. O is the moderator for this day)

O: (In an unnaturally exuberant tone) Alright!! Today is...!!

M: No no no. It's (in a milder tone) "Alright, today is", isn't it? What's with you? It's rare to see you this motivated.

O: I AM motivated. I want to do this, to moderate... (Continues with his "unnaturally exuberant" tone, eliciting laughter)

(Caption: "Since 'that person' is not here, Ohno-san will be moderating")

O: Alright! Today, the topic is memories of Golden Week. I want to ask you all about it, yes. Do you have any, Aiba-kun?

A: (laughs)

N: Direct to the point, right?

A: I'd be working, well, even if I don't have work, I'd spend Golden Week at home.

M: I know what you mean.

O: Yeah...

A: Because it'd be crowded everywhere, it'd be very hard if you get stuck if you go out.

O: Since there'll be traffic jams, right?

M: That's right.

O: Then what about you, Ninomiya-kun?

N: (he and the audience laughs)

(Caption: "Trying to be a natural moderator")

N: (Composes himself) Right, well... During our Jr. days, the concerts we did with just us Jrs. on "Children's Day" [May 5].

O: Ah, we did that, right?

A: Yeah, yeah we did.

O: I see. Then what about Matsumoto-kun?

M: (laughs) You're sticking too much with the cue cards!

(Cue card is shown: "Any memories, Matsumoto-kun?")

M: No need, you don't have to bother with it that much.

O: I can't do without it.

M: Well, it's true, like what he (A) said earlier, I stay at home. I guess it conjures up images of me being a back up dancer to our senpais in the past. I think there was like a one day concert we did with Kinki Kids-san or V6-san, or something like that.

A: Yeah, we did.

N: Yeah.

A: We were doing the same set, right?

M: Yeah.

O: My Golden Week--

M: Don't read it!

O: It's written there.

(Cue card: "(Ohno-san) My Golden Week memory is...")

M: Don't read it!

O: 'Cause it's what's written there.

(Caption: "A Man Loyal To the Cue Cards")

O: Well, shall we start? Let's call on today's opposing team guests. Here they are!!

(Opposing team enters led by S)

O: Our guest for today's battle is the movie "Laplace no Majo" team! (Applause) So now, Sakurai-san has been in the opposing team 3 times before, right?

S: Yes.

O: What kind of a movie is "Laplace no Majo"?

S: Thank you very much. You could say it's a science-mystery. A murder case took place at a snowy onsen but how on earth did that incident happen exactly? And to find out how (the culprit) did it. Of course, the key in solving this lies among them (points at his teammates) and to find out who it is.

O: I see.

S: By the way, we have the (movie's) director here as well (in my team)!

(Caption: "Director Miike-san also joins")

N: Director-san!

Miike Takashi: Pardon me.

N: I thought you were the culprit.

S: Stop it!

N: You're the director, huh! The director is here!

End of OPT.

Guests:

Plus One: Ozawa Kazuhiro (SPW), Koumoto Junichi (Jicho Kacho)
Opposing Team: Movie "Laplace No Majo Team"
(Aside from Sakurai Sho) Hirose Suzu, Fukushi Sota, Takashima Masanobu, Hashimoto Ichiro, Miike Takashi
