*This is for [info]shadow_fox_13  
**Thanks to [info]mokyulpwns you can get the hardsubbed clip RIGHT HERE!!!

Tsurube-san and Matsushima from Othello talked about Nakai and SMAP :D

(08:23-10:00)

 

Matsushima: This one time I had a question related to music, it was a question about SMAP’s music.

Tsurube: SMAP’s music

M: Everyone sat in a meeting agonizing about the question. And then we started wondering if any of us in the meeting knew someone related to SMAP, like a staff, that we can ask. And everyone went, “No I don’t know SMAP personally….”

T: I see

M: All of a sudden I remembered: “Wait! I know Nakai-kun’s phone number”. So I thought I would just call and ask him personally.

T: Yes

M: Everyone’s reaction was, “Nakai-kun…..” o.0 “Nakai-kun??? He probably doesn’t know the answer…”

T: You asked Nakai a MUSIC question?!?

M: And then….

T: He’s the person you should never go to for a music question!

M: But he’s the only one I know, I don’t know any other SMAP members

T: But let me just say this, this is a true story

M: Yes

T: SMAP has a producer who produces their concert, but Nakai is the one making all the big decisions.

[On the screen: Nakai, SMAP’s Leader!]

Audience: Eh????

T: Nakai takes charge of the concert, all the arrangements and set up and everything

M: That’s right! That’s why…

T: Well he can’t sing but…

[On the screen: Nakai, the project director?]

M: So I called him, and people in the meeting could hear me talk on the phone like, “Yes, yes, I see, thank you!”

M: After I hung up, I explained to everyone what the answer is, “It’s like this, and this, and this…”

M: Everyone then said to me, “That can’t be Nakai-kun you just talked on the phone with.” They totally did not trust Nakai’s music knowledge! I mean those people are just everyday folks!

T: But seriously, Nakai is the one who makes all the decisions on SMAP concerts.

M: That’s why people who reach the top, or should I say, people like Nakai who stays on the top of their field, they are just good at what they do.

T: I agree, he is good at what his does

M: I think, even if he is not SMAP, even if he is a sales person, he will still be a top level sales person.

T: I agree

Audience: Ahhh~ *convinced*

That's fine with me, though I should probably refine the translation a bit because the one I posted up here is, well, a rough translation ^^

Of course Nakai know about music, even if his singing voice is not Grammy-ready. He has been singing for more than 20 years.:) I´m more surprised that Matsushima has Nakai´s phone number, didn´t know they are good friends. ^^
Thank u for the translation!

I thought the same thing. Nakai writes songs too, so he has to know something about music. And I think he must give out his phone number more often than he says.

Thanks for the translation.

Nakai is in change of concerts?!

Suddenly, their incredible bizarreness makes a whole lot of sense...

I think Nakai has been in charged of the concerts for many years, until maybe the last couple concert (or was it just the We Are SMAP concert?) where the torch was passed to Shingo--which completely explained the bizarreness of We Are SMAP (the globe heads and such), the whole concert screams SHINGO!!
