Part 1

Voice-over: Manatsu no Utage talk session. With original visual kei’s Kinniku Shoujou Tai’s Kenji Ōtsuki-san, we have in total eight representatives of visual kei bands in a miracle close. Taking questionnaires filled out by each member, we have discussed most.
Kenji: Just looking at you guys in a line makes me think of many Rider Kaijin’s sitting in a row. (T/N: “Rider Kaijin” is a character in a series, I think.)
(laughter)
Announcer: Absolutely not!
Kenji: It feels like they’ve assembled for class, doesn’t it?
Announcer: This is a dream of a gathering.

Part 2

Announcer: When you talk about a live, there are many bands here that have played overseas.
Kenji: That’s amazing.
Announcer:Yes. What about Kinshou (Kinniku Shoujo Tai)? Have you done any lives overseas?
Kenji: Erm… There was once, about… Eighteen years ago, there was a talk about doing a live in New York. Well, we got ready for the tour, but there was only one guardian who’d come with us…

Radio Jack with Reita from the GazettE

Reita: This week has also started, Radio Jack with Reita from the GazettE. I am the GazettE’s Reita.
Manager: Yes.
Reita: And I am also “Japan’s Reita”.
Manager: I see.
Reita: Last week, I said some tremendous thing about being “the world’s Reita”, and I am very sorry for that.
(laughter)
Manager: But, it’s not like you started it.
Reita: That’s exactly right! I really don’t want anyone to misunderstand this! It’s not like I actually said myself that I was “the world’s Reita”…
Manager: Right.
Reita: Just that, I want you to understand. Otherwise, it’ll all be a huge misunderstanding!

Radio Jack with Reita from the GazettE

Reita: Yes, hello. I am Reita from the GazettE, or should I say, “the world’s Reita”? This is… (laughs) It’s not like I want to say I’m “the world’s Reita”, it’s just that I have been told that and so it’s in the script!
Manager: Yes. (laughs)
Reita: Yes. Well, if you’re wondering why “the world’s Reita”… (laughs) Erm, ever since the radio broadcast has been available online, everyone has been sending us lots of mails from overseas.
Manager: Yes, that’s right.
Reita: Yeah, so that’s why we are very happy. Yes, and since lots of mails have come in to us…
Manager: Yes.
Reita: …I would like to read out a few, well, one this time. Erm, it’s in English, so, well… For the people who understand…

Announcer 1: Yes, that was this week’s chart position’s number three, “Guren”.
Announcer 2: Erm, I first thought of Guren’s ‘flames’…
Ruki: Yes.
A2: And… Well, it wasn’t the normal really bright shade of red, but…
A1: Yes…
Ruki: Yes, that’s right.
A2: It was more of a red with lots of other colours mixed in.
Ruki: True. So, you can’t just call it “red”…
A2: Yes.
Ruki: However, it does give off a ‘red’ image, and it ended up being “Guren”. It’s not exactly a lotus flower if it’s about the colour.

Kai: Hello, I am the GazettE’s Kai and I would like to host today’s Kai no Premium Radio with much excitement. I have no idea how many times this radio show has been broadcasted; however, our fir-fir-first guest is here today. Er, his location is currently in the recording studio. (laughs) He wanted to be on here so much that he even had to settle accounts with me, and so I thought, “maybe I should allow him on here,” and so, here he is today, yes! His name is… Say your name yourself.
Reita: Ah, I am very grateful. I play the bass.
Kai: (laughs)
Reita: I am named “Reita”.
Kai: (laughs)
Reita: However, instead of, ‘he wanted to be on here so much that he settled accounts with me’, shouldn’t it be “he had to get down on his knees”?
