Ichigo ichie 6/11 - Aichan's next challenge

By: Zabel


Yo! Zabel here. Ever since Takahashi Ai began hosting her web talk show Ichigo ichie in April, I've been writing about it at my blog Lovelitude. Beginning today you'll be able to find these summaries here every weekend. Note that they are not intended to be comprehensive, and I try to keep them reasonably short.

Ichigo ichie 6/11

Lovely opens with a little fukui speak for us, "ほやさけ～" which is equivalent to だから ("That's why...").

Today a girl from Brazil sent in a letter saying that she studies Japanese on her Nintendo DS and does Aichan study English on her DS? (this made me a little mad for not having thought of asking the question myself grrrr) Well, Aichan has the software, but hasn't been using it. She praises the listener's Japanese...and then goes on to recommend Final Fantasy to her XD It's sort of the same topic I guess.

Aichan saw Across the Universe, a movie featuring a lot of Beatles music, together with Mako soon after Mako returned from New Zealand. She wanted to see it because Bono was in it, and ended up liking it. (I wonder what movies Aichan doesn't like?) Well there were strawberry fields in the movie, so I suppose she had no choice.

The TV drama Aichan starred in earlier this year, Q.E.D. Shoumei Shuuryou, will come to DVD on June 24th. It seems that the box set includes extra 'making of' content. If Aichan has the chance, she would like to play the role of a mother next time. This because her own mother had her at age 21, and because she watched Ueto Aya playing such a role. She would also like try more action scenes. We wouldn't mind her getting them, would we?

The topics in the 'Tettekette' advice corner were unusually light today. The first listener can't decide whether to go with straight hair or to get a perm. In junior high where it was against the rules, Aichan wanted a wave perm but got a straight perm thinking that she wouldn't get found out, but was found out anyway.

A second listener gets leg cramps while sleeping. Aichan, too, has her toes cramp when in bed. She suggests doing stretches, but will go ask Sayumi, who also gets frequent cramps.

Kusumi Koharu will be a guest next week.
