Naruto Nippon special
Allo people! ^_^

Well, the results of the poll are in and it's official: The name of our anime-crusade will be named the Association of Anime Christian crusaders, or AACC, for short. ^_^
Thanks to Uchiha Seraphim for the name suggestion, and thanks to everyone who voted! :D

I also finished that fanfic for Sasami (mrs uchiha) and even though it was rather short, she was pleased with it, so I'm very happy. ^_^

And now, the script for the Naruto Nippon special! Please read and enjoy, even if it is a bit long. ^_^;

NARUTO
Hey y'all!
Good to see you here!
I'm gonna show you what I'm /really/ made of today, so make sure you have fun all the way till the end!
Let's go!
We're on air from the stage of the 2005 Jump Festa, from the other side of the Herz!
We're going to have a live and crunching good time today!
Kyu kyu!
Aniplex Hour!
Oo! Naruto Nippon in Jump Festa 2005!
Good morning, everybody!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
It's finally, finally /my/ time on stage!
I'm gonna show you how much of a hero I really am!
And so, good morning, everybody!
Once again, I'm Takeuchi Junko, the voice of Naruto!
Today, the show will be called Oo! Naruto Nippon in Jump Festa 2005, and we'll be broadcasting direct from the stage of the Jump Public Square!
Pleased to meet all of you!
And now!
What're we going to do today?
We'll ask the cast questions... we'll have quizzes and games and many other things!
Anyway! We've got a lot of things planned, so let's have a burning good time!
All right!
Then without further delay, we shall call upon the Special Personalities, in short - SupePa, for today, out!

SASUKE
I am an avenger.
Even if I had to sell my soul to the devil,
I would, as long as I can gain more power!
I'll show you...
...what the power behind the Uchiha is!

NARUTO
The rightful possessor of the most superior bloodline in Konoha Gakure - the Uchiha clan,
the talent everybody in the village recognises,
who is also Naruto's rival!
The voice of Uchiha Sasuke - Sugiyama Noriaki-kun datte ba yo!
And so.

SASUKE
Yes.

NARUTO
Non-tan!

SASUKE
Non...
Good morning.

NARUTO
Pleased to be working with you today!

SASUKE
The pleasure's all mine.
Oh, by the way, happy new year.

NARUTO
Everybody, this person will be 'Non-tan' for today.

SASUKE
Err, that's...

NARUTO
He'll be 'Non-tan' on the radio show.
Let's hear it for Non-tan everybody!
Ready... go!

AUDIENCE
NON-TAAAN!!!

SASUKE
Thank you very much.

NARUTO
Thank you!
Anyway, let's have a great day today.

SASUKE
That was pretty embarrassing.

NARUTO
It was, wasn't it?
Still, pleased to be working with you, Non-tan!

SASUKE
Pleasure's indeed all mine!

NARUTO
And yes! The next SupePa is this person!

KAKASHI
Good to see you all here.
You've all come here by your own will. I'm proud of you, my team!
Now, break a leg and let's make out...
Aah... I mean...
Break a leg and let's have much great fun!

NARUTO
His name is well known even in foreign lands - he has copied over 1000 Jutsu!
He also also known as Sharingan no Kakashi!
He is a Jounin of Konoha Gakure and the sensei of Naruto's team!
He is the voice of Hatake Kakashi - Inoue Kazuhiko-san datte ba yo!
What? He's not here?

SASUKE
Oh? That's strange.

NARUTO
Not /again/, Kazuhiko-san?
Hey everybody, Kazuhiko-san has a favour to ask of you.

SASUKE
Yes.

NARUTO
There are so many of you here today, so he's not going to come out until you all shout for 'Kakashi-sensei'!
So, let's call for him at my cue, okay?
Shout for 'Kakashi-sensei!' with the loudest voice you've got!

SASUKE
Please shout for him!

NARUTO
You only have one chance!
Ready... go!

EVERYBODY
KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!

KAKASHI
Yo, people!
Good morning!

NARUTO
You're late!

KAKASHI
Welcome, welcome!

NARUTO
Yaay! All because everybody called you Kakashi-sensei, huh?

KAKASHI
Yep. I'm Inoue Kazuhiko, the voice of Hatake Kakashi.
Good morning!

NARUTO
Why were you late?

KAKASHI
Good morning, morning!

SASUKE
Just like an old man.

KAKASHI
Well, you see...
There are just too many cute girls hanging around this Jump Festa, I was so taken by them I just lost track of time.

NARUTO
What the hell?!
Can't you see that I tried so hard and spent my last cent on trying to doll up today too?!

KAKASHI
Oh yeah, you're so cute, Takeuchi.

NARUTO
Where're you looking at? Where're you looking at?
Where're you looking at?

KAKASHI
She's cute, isn't she?

SASUKE
Ah, yeah, so cute.

NARUTO
I'm here. Here.

KAKASHI
Really cute!

NARUTO
Really?
To tell you the truth, this is the first time Oo! Naruto Nippon! is having a public recording.
It's our first time, isn't it?
That's why, for today...

KAKASHI
Thank you for asking me to take part in this maiden recording session.
Thank you for always taking care of me, senpai!

NARUTO
Really. Right. Sorry, sorry.
Anyway, shall we take our seats?

KAKASHI
Pleased to be with working with you today!

NARUTO AND SASUKE
Pleased to be working with you!

KAKASHI
I see that there are a lot of things left here.

SASUKE
Yes, there are.

NARUTO
Aah! I'm in!
Let's do a lot of things today!
So, shall the both of you give an introduction of yourselves again?

SASUKE
Okay.
The painful sadness of not listening to this program isn't comparable to the kind of sadness you feel from being scolded by your parents.
And so, good day, everybody!
I'm Sugiyama Noriaki, the voice of Uchiha Sasuke.

NARUTO
Thanks for the intro!

KAKASHI
Didn't that just made you feel like blushing?

SASUKE
Yes, I did feel a little like that.

KAKASHI
You'd really feel like blushing, saying your lines in front of so many people, huh?

SASUKE
Yes... It's like everybody's looking...

NARUTO
Yeah. Right.
So you. Blush. Now.
Yes. Yes!

SASUKE
What?!

NARUTO
You're not coming out of that until you blush!

KAKASHI
I'll let you learn this Jutsu by showing it to you...
Are you ready?
Konoguha Gakure Hiden... I tripped on my words.

SASUKE
Still very cool!

KAKASHI
It's too early for this. Let me off, please!

NARUTO
Okay.

KAKASHI
Are you ready?
Konoha Gakure Hiden, Taijutsu Ougi... (Hidden Leaf Secret Scroll - Ultimate Taijutsu Attack)
Sennen goroshi (Thousand Years of Pain!!)!!
And so, good day all! I'm Inoue Kazuhiko, the voice of Hatake Kakashi.
Pleased to be with you today!

NARUTO
Pleased to be with you!

SASUKE
Very pleased!

NARUTO
And anyway, just for the record - it's our first time doing a public recording!
I'm a little nervous, so forgive me if I make any mistakes choumage!
(she's making a pun on 'choudai', which means 'please', changing it into 'choumage', which means 'long pigtail')
I hear cold laughter.

SASUKE
He's laughing all right.

NARUTO
Okay, okay. I'm sorry!

KAKASHI
Are you really nervous?!
You liar!

NARUTO
I'm not lying!
I'm really nervous!

KAKASHI
Lies! All of them!

NARUTO
So anyway, we're going to do a lot of things today, so let's go to the next section right now!
And with that, let's go WILD all the way to the end today as well!
Give your night to me tte ba yo!

SASUKE
Hm! Try your best not to be in my way, dobe!

KAKASHI
He's right, dobe!
Let's finish this quickly. I want to continue reading my IchaPara...

Uzumaki Naruto's Oo! Naruto Nippon!


NARUTO
Oo! Naruto Nippon in Jump Festa 2005!
We've gone out of the studio of the Hidden Leaf for today, to come to the Jump Public Square for this broadcast.

SASUKE AND KAKASHI
Yup!

NARUTO
For this broadcast!

KAKASHI
So many people!

NARUTO
So many people indeed!

KAKASHI
Thank you for coming!

NARUTO
Anyway, we'll really be doing a lot of things.
Please have fun along with us!

SASUKE
Please have fun!

NARUTO
And as you know, in this program, if your mail gets read out your rank will increase accordingly.
In other words, it's a selection test based on your strength!
Everybody, please send a lot of postcards and email to us!
When you become a Jounin...
Ah! You're an Academy Student first.
Then slowly you become Genin, Chuunin, and then Jounin!
When you become a Jounin, you'll be invited to the studio!
It's really cool!
By the way, your mail has to be read out 30 times for you to become Jounin.

SASUKE
30 times...

NARUTO
Please try very hard.

SASUKE
Try your best!

NARUTO
Anyway, for today... let's introduce the first postcard.
Academy Student from Kyoto - Wantanmaru-san.
Thank you for your mail.

SASUKE AND KAKASHI
Thank you for your mail!

NARUTO
" It seems like the buzzword for this year has been 'chou kimochi ii (feeling super good)'.
I wonder what will it sound like when all the different characters say this buzzword?
Please absolutely try it!"
Ah well. We'll have to do it.
Okay! Naruto will start first.

SASUKE
Okay.

NARUTO
I'm doing it as Naruto! Phew!
Here I go.
CHOU!! KIMOCHI II!!!

KAKASHI
That was so Narutoish!

NARUTO
Did I sound like him?

KAKASHI
You did!
You sounded exactly like him!

SASUKE
...'Sounded like him'?

NARUTO
Up next then! Sugiyama-kun, have a go?

SASUKE
Okay!
Oh. I can just say it like this?

NARUTO
Yeah.

KAKASHI
Please.

SASUKE
Chou kimochi ii.

NARUTO
That sounds so gross!
And it's still morning!

KAKASHI
Just like a bad comedy show.

SASUKE
Well it's only gross if you think of it that way!

NARUTO
Well, that's true...

SASUKE
Like maybe he's having a foot massage.
Or a shoulder massage.

NARUTO
These excuses make it sound even more gross.
Don't worry, it's just a radio recording, not an official line.
Then finally, let's have Kazuhiko-san?

KAKASHI
As Kakashi?

NARUTO
Yeah!

KAKASHI
Chou... kimochi ii...

NARUTO
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

SASUKE
Didn't he sound even more gross?

NARUTO
Was that Kakashi-sensei just now?

KAKASHI
That was me... I mean, that was Kakashi, yeah!

SASUKE
You said 'me'!

NARUTO
See? SEE??

KAKASHI
Kakashi?

NARUTO
Kakashi, one more time please?

KAKASHI
Chou kimochi ii ze.

NARUTO
Oh yeah! That sounded so much like Kakashi-sensei!

SASUKE
'Sounded like'?

KAKASHI
I did!!
Great!
I haven't been voicing him much lately.

SASUKE
Don't say that.

NARUTO
And anyway, if the buzzword for the year has been 'chou kimochi ii', if there are any buzzwords next year, I'd like to know about them!

KAKASHI
Know about them tte ba yo!

NARUTO
Know about them tte ba yo!
Send them to me, people!
And so, I have a favour to ask the both of you.

SASUKE AND KAKASHI
Okay.

NARUTO
I have a question I really must ask the both of you.
If Kazuhiko-san and Sugiyama-kun were Jounins, what kind of a team would you form?
As in, in a 3-man-cell, who would you like to be in your team?
It doesn't have to be solely Genins.
Just tell us what kind of 3-man-cell you want to have.

SASUKE
So anyone from the list of characters in the show applies?

NARUTO
That's right.
Sugiyama-kun's gone through this question before, haven't you?

KAKASHI
As in, what kind of a team I'd like?

NARUTO
That's right!
So anyway, I'm sure we've all thought about it.
Let's write it out!

KAKASHI
Write it out!

NARUTO
Let's write!
Let's see... I want...
But if I say it out, then it's no fun anymore.
Eto...

KAKASHI
Eto...

NARUTO
This one... and... this one...

KAKASHI
Eto...
Those who are listening to the radio won't understand this at all.
They'd only hear the 'eto's.

SASUKE
They can only get the 'eto's.

KAKASHI
Eto... Sakura and...

NARUTO
Don't say it!
So are we done?

SASUKE
Done!

NARUTO
Okay, Sugiyama-kun, you can start first.

SASUKE
Okay! Here I go!
Tadah! Here's what it feels like.

NARUTO
Read it out?

SASUKE
Ah, okay. Oh, you can't really see it from the back, can you?
Sasuke, Neji and Kabuto.

NARUTO
But why?

SASUKE
This seems like a super easy team to manage.
You see, it's like, it seems like the three of them will handle the missions with such ease.
Although they may not be exactly keen on teamwork.

NARUTO
I see.

KAKASHI
But everybody seems so boring.

NARUTO
What's that supposed to mean?!

SASUKE
Well, that's true in that sense too...

KAKASHI
Their reactions will be so stinted.

NARUTO
Yeah, I don't think we'll hear any laughter in that team.

SASUKE
Everybody'll only say 'aah' and 'hmph'.

NARUTO
But if you really form a team like that, Sugiyama-kun, /you/ will be the one leading them, you know?

SASUKE
I'll have to really soften the way I say my commands.

NARUTO
Yeah. It's probably more like "Please, guys, do me a favour and..." for these three.

KAKASHI
But you'll still have to order them around!

NARUTO
I see. A cool three-man team.
Kazuhiko-san, what about you?

KAKASHI
My team's like this. Tadah.

NARUTO
Who?

KAKASHI
Ebisu. Jiraiya. Kakashi.

SASUKE
Why?

NARUTO
I want to know the reason behind your selection of these three men.

SASUKE
So do I.

KAKASHI
It's the pervert three-man-cell!

SASUKE
An uncle-ish team.

KAKASHI
This is Kakashi's selection, not Inoue Kazuhiko's.

NARUTO
I see... eh??
But Kazuhiko-san, you'll be the Jounin that...

KAKASHI
What do you mean, 'eh'?!
Customer?

SASUKE
Slip of the tongue?
She 'eh'ed at you.

NARUTO
I see, I see.
You really hammered the last nail in the coffin in.

KAKASHI
I think people are seeing me as more and more pervertish now, huh?

NARUTO
Well, that's undeniable.

SASUKE
Yeah!

NARUTO
But Kazuhiko-san isn't pervertish!
He's just really gross.
Now, my turn! Tadah!
Shikamaru, Kabuto... and since I'm putting names of people I really really like...
Kazuhiko-san!

KAKASHI
Oh my!

SASUKE
Huuh??

KAKASHI
I think...

SASUKE
Huh? What's the catch?

KAKASHI
I think I'm a bit happy!

NARUTO
I'm the sort who can never end a section seriously and properly.

KAKASHI
I see. Sheesh.

SASUKE
I see.

NARUTO
I've really just put all the names of my favourite people here...
Ah! I like you too, Non-tan!

SASUKE
Something big has just happened, hasn't it?

KAKASHI
Non-tan, you say.

NARUTO
I'll add you as a postscript.

KAKASHI
He sounds like an afterthought.

SASUKE
Don't add me!

NARUTO
But anyway, just like that, if you've thought of any teams you would like to form, please send your thoughts in to us with postcards and emails!
You can write in the names of the cast, like me, if you want!
Write in who you want, and why you want them in a team!
And so!
That was, the "That's why I like Kazuhiko-san so much" corner!

SASUKE
That was what this corner was all about?!

NARUTO
Eh?

Aniplex Hour!
Uzumaki Naruto's Oo! Naruto Nippon!

Uzumaki Naruto's Oo! Naruto Nippon!


NARUTO
It's the Narutimate Kokon Touzai Game!
(a game where you pick a subject and with two or more friends, each say one phrase about the subject together at the same time)

KAKASHI AND NARUTO
Yaay!

NARUTO
Let's see.
In this corner, as stated in the name, we're going to play Kokon Touzai at the same time.
Just how synchronised are we three of the Kakashi Team?
Or just how unsynchronised?
We'll use this to test that out.

KAKASHI
But we're completely in sync!
Usually.

NARUTO
You mean breathing, maybe?
We breath in sync?
But are we really in sync in mind and thought?
So let's voice out our real dispositions today.
That's what this corner is all about.

KAKASHI
So we can say what we /really/ think?

NARUTO
You... may.
But at least don't forget that we're in front of a big crowd.
Please be careful!

KAKASHI
Sugiyama-kun.

SASUKE
Yes!

KAKASHI
You may speak what's really on your mind.

SASUKE
Aah... okay...

NARUTO
Speak up, speak up!

SASUKE
I understand.

NARUTO
Now then.
Let's start with what kind of an impression with have of each other.
I'm so excited.
Okay, here's the first topic for today!
" Takeuchi Junko."
I wonder what you think of me, huh?
What are you so troubled over?

SASUKE AND KAKASHI
No, nothing, nothing.

NARUTO
What's with the both of you?

KAKASHI
No! I'm not troubled at all!

NARUTO
You really just have to speak up the truth in your mind, okay?
Are you all ready?

KAKASHI
I got it.

NARUTO
Let's say it.
Ready, go!

ALL THREE
kawaiiijiwaruwagamamananeko!

NARUTO
...what did you say just now?
I...

KAKASHI
Let's do it one more time.
Ready, go!

ALL THREE
kawaiiijiwaruwagamamananeko!

NARUTO
What did you say just now?
I said 'kawaii (cute)'.
Wah... I can't?

KAKASHI
Of course not! You're really cute.

NARUTO
Ain't I?
Sugiyama-kun?

SASUKE
I said...

NARUTO
What did you say?

SASUKE
I... I said 'ijiwaru (mean)'.

NARUTO
Mean?!

SASUKE
Well, in a good way... well, in a bad way too I suppose...
It's all mixed up together...

NARUTO
So is it good or bad?

SASUKE
Eh? Err... Umm...

KAKASHI
What are you so indecisive about?!

SASUKE
No, no! I mean, it's like...

NARUTO
Is that what you really think?

SASUKE
Huh?

NARUTO
That's what you really think, right?

SASUKE
Nope. Only a bit of that, I suppose.

NARUTO
Only a bit?

SASUKE
Yeah.

NARUTO
Dammit!!
So!

KAKASHI
You got afraid of saying it, didn't you?

NARUTO
What did /you/ say, Kazuhiko-san?

KAKASHI
I said.
'Wagamama na neko (self-centred cat)'.
Self-centred cat.

NARUTO
Self-centred cat?

SASUKE
That 'cat' at the end...

KAKASHI
Cat.

NARUTO
Cat?

KAKASHI
Isn't that good?

NARUTO
That feels somewhat mysterious.
But if you really think about it...

KAKASHI
It's like, when you feel like it,
you'd be all...
'Aah~' and all over the others.

NARUTO
Meow meow!

KAKASHI
And then we just feel like we can't leave you alone?

NARUTO
Thank you!

SASUKE
I didn't.... didn't mean only bad things about it...

NARUTO
Oh no no no no...

KAKASHI
You indecisive little... your reaction is too slow, you know?!

NARUTO
But you said it was meant to be taken in a good and bad way!

SASUKE
Of course not, of course not... you see!
Like, when we're just having a normal conversation...
You'd be like, 'Huh? What do you want?'...
Sometimes you're like that, aren't you?
Then I'd just think, why is she being so mean to me?
But that's actually just...

NARUTO
You stinker! You're not supposed to say what /really/ happened out!

SASUKE
I'm sorry!
So yes... that really did... or did not happen before...

NARUTO
Next! Let's go to the next one!

SASUKE
Yes, next!
Please.

NARUTO
So, our next topic is this!
" Sugiyama Noriaki-kun."

SASUKE
Ah... counter attacked...

NARUTO
This one...

KAKASHI
Wait a bit!

NARUTO
I have my opinion all ready very quickly.

SASUKE
Eh? What is it?

NARUTO
I'm not saying it!
I won't say it yet until we say it at the same time.
Are you ready?

SASUKE
All ready.

NARUTO
Kazuhiko-san ready?

KAKASHI
Okay, I'm ready.

NARUTO
Both ready?

SASUKE AND KAKASHI
Yes.

NARUTO
Let's go.
Ready... go!

ALL THREE
majimenonbirimichibatanoishi

NARUTO
What the hell?!
We are so completely out of sync.

SASUKE
Did I just hear flattery?

NARUTO
One more time!
Ready... go!

ALL THREE
majimenonbirimichibatanoishi

NARUTO
What did you say?!
As for me, I said, 'majime (serious)'.
In a /very good way/, he's very serious about stuff.

SASUKE
That's really great praise! Really!

KAKASHI
In good and bad things, huh?

NARUTO
In good and... in good things only!
Sugiyama-kun, I mean, Non-tan, what did you say?

SASUKE
I said 'nonbiri (carefree)'.

NARUTO
Carefree. That's true.

KAKASHI
Carefree, true.

NARUTO
And what did Kazuhiko-san say?

SASUKE
I think he said something really fantastic.

KAKASHI
'Michibata no ishi (stone of the pavement)'.

NARUTO
And what is your reasoning behind it??

KAKASHI
I don't mean anything bad by it.
It's just that, he's really a strong-willed one.
So, well, for good and bad things alike?
He won't change his opinions easily.
He has a firm and strong 'ishi (will)'!
(Kazuhiko is pulling a pun on the word 'ishi', which can mean 'will' or 'stone'.)

NARUTO
Wonderful!
Stop pulling stupid puns like these!
Applause please!
It's true though, that Non-tan is carefree but he's got an iron will.

SASUKE
Thank you very much.

NARUTO
Though sometimes he still makes me feel "What the hell is this guy's problem?!"!
But on the whole, he's a good man!

SASUKE
Thank you.

KAKASHI
Yes, he is.

NARUTO
Now that both Non-tan and I are done...

KAKASHI
I'm so scared.

NARUTO
The next topic is this!
" Inoue Kazuhiko-san".
Oh dear... can we really speak the truth about this?

KAKASHI
Go ahead.
I said stupid things like 'wagamama na neko', after all.

NARUTO
I see.
I see, I see.

KAKASHI
Are you done?
Are you done?

NARUTO
I'm... done...

KAKASHI
Then, shall we speak up?!

NARUTO AND SASUKE
Okay.

KAKASHI
" Inoue Kazuhiko"!
Ready, go!

ALL THREE
...mitainademokakkosenninsawayakanaoujisama!

NARUTO
HUH?!

KAKASHI
Yours is so long!
Too long!

NARUTO
What did you say yourself just now?!

SASUKE
What did you say??

NARUTO
What did you say just now?

KAKASHI
Myself?
I said what I thought of Inoue Kazuhiko, of course!

NARUTO
Let's go again.
Ready, go!

ALL THREE
bokedaoshinoinusenninsawayakanaoujisama!

NARUTO
Non-tan, what did you say?

SASUKE
Sennin.

NARUTO
Huh?

SASUKE
Sennin.

NARUTO AND KAKASHI
Sennin?

SASUKE
Yes.
Just like a Sennin, he has a far-sighted, philosophical view of his work and life alike.
That's the image I have of him.

NARUTO
Do I sense an apple polisher??

SASUKE
Of course not!
I mean good things by it! Very good things.
Nothing bad at all!

NARUTO
What do you mean?!

KAKASHI
Thank you.
I feel like I've become an old guy already.

SASUKE
That's not what I meant!

NARUTO
" I am sho happy~", huh?

KAKASHI
How am I to live the rest of my life out now, ho ho ho.

SASUKE
Wait, wait, wait!

NARUTO
I said... 'bokedaoshi no inu (expert player of the fool)'.

SASUKE AND KAKASHI
Player of the fool?

KAKASHI
Fool?

NARUTO
Player of the fool!
You don't just act like a fool.
A fool?

KAKASHI
I play it.

NARUTO
Yes you do.
In my impression, Kazuhiko-san acts like a fool when he has time to. And he does it even when he doesn't have time to either.

SASUKE
So he does nothing but act like a fool all the time.

NARUTO
That's right.
But he's got his own charm in that, somehow.

SASUKE
That's true.

NARUTO
I don't want to become like that, but I admire it.

SASUKE
You don't want to?!

NARUTO
It hurts the brain to act like a fool, you know!

SASUKE
That's true too.

NARUTO
You have to use the brain a lot.

KAKASHI
Actually, just a little.

NARUTO
See, he only needs to use a little.
He's so used to it, all these years of practice.
So, what did the actual man in question say himself?

SASUKE
Oh yeah.

KAKASHI
Me?
I said... 'sawayaka na oujisama (an eloquent prince)'.
Why is the audience suddenly so quiet?

NARUTO
That's all right.
Everybody is basking in your words.

KAKASHI
Did you all hear me?
I said, I am an eloquent prince!

NARUTO
Let's have a round of applause for the eloquent prince!!

SASUKE
What's that pose?

KAKASHI
The eloquent prince pose.

NARUTO
Such a rigid pose!!
Okay. I get it.
We're not in sync at all!

KAKASHI
We're so well synchronised in thought!

NARUTO
Like hell!
Next one!
I think we should be quite in sync for this?
The next topic we have is this!
" Naruto".

KAKASHI
That's got to be ramen.

NARUTO
Of course it's ramen!

SASUKE
That's right!

NARUTO
Or it could be 'datte ba yo'.
Village of the Hidden Leaf, or something.

KAKASHI
Yeah, that would be all speaking of Naruto.

NARUTO
But speaking of Naruto, it has to be...?
Are you ready?

KAKASHI
Let's go.
I'm done.

NARUTO
Ready, go!

ALL THREE
Another movie is slated for the year 2005!

NARUTO
We're in sync!

KAKASHI
This is what this entire section was all about.
This is what we had been doing all of that just now for.

NARUTO
We beat around the bush for ten minutes!
I'm so sorry!
Thanks to all your support in this year's NARUTO Movie, we'll be having another one next week... err, next year in summer!

SASUKE
Next week?

KAKASHI
Summer next year.

NARUTO
Summer next year! Ah, we have a poster here.
The second movie has been slated for a release!

SASUKE AND KAKASHI
Thank you!

NARUTO
Whee!
But none of us know what kind of story it may be having at this point of time.

SASUKE
We don't.

KAKASHI
Yup.
Did any of you here watch this year's movie?

NARUTO
Raise your hand!

ALL THREE
Thank you for watching!

NARUTO
Hands up those who will be watching it next year?
Make sure you'll come!

SASUKE
Please come take a look!

NARUTO
Please come!

KAKASHI
Make sure you do!

NARUTO
I'll be waiting!

KAKASHI
Me too!

NARUTO
Kishimoto-sensei said that he had fun watching the movie for this year too.
The sensei will definitely give us his best shot for next year as well!

KAKASHI
Yeah, I cried, you know, when I saw this year's movie.

NARUTO
I cried too!

KAKASHI
Until I was all sniffing away.
It was terrible. I couldn't say anything in the middle all of a sudden!
It's true.
It was that good.

NARUTO
I feel like I want to see that, but then again I don't...
But I guess I do!
But I really felt like crying too.
The song was great too.
The story was great too.

KAKASHI
It was rather grand, overall speaking.
Teamwork was good!

NARUTO
Then, Sasuke said things like... 'go help out', and 'I'm counting on you'...
He said things like that in the movie, which was...

KAKASHI
He's grown up quite a bit!

SASUKE
Indeed.
He doesn't say things like that very often.

NARUTO
But ah well. The most cool fight has to go to Kakashi-sensei's one.

SASUKE
It was such a beautiful fight.

NARUTO
Made me so angry!

KAKASHI
Why?

SASUKE
You said it!
I was thinking "What is with this battle! So beautiful!"!

NARUTO
It was way too cool!

KAKASHI
Naruto was cool!

NARUTO
Naruto was... yeah, cool, but it's like...

KAKASHI
He's cute but he's also quite the man.

NARUTO
I'm sure the movie will become something even better for next year.

KAKASHI
I'm certainly looking forward to it.

NARUTO
So am I.

KAKASHI
Everybody, please also continue to look forward to it.

NARUTO
I'm waiting for you!
Please come!
And so, that was... the "Information Corner for the NARUTO Movie"!

SASUKE
So it /really/ was a corner for that!

NARUTO
Happy news for everybody!
The first episode of NARUTO for the year 2005, January 1st, will be a one hour special!
Great new year present isn't it?
The title will be: "This year is Naruto's year too! The hot duel between cool men! The genius Ninja goes all wild datte ba yo Special!"
So anyway, it will start broadcasting at 7pm, so don't get your time wrong!
Now then! From the special episode on January 1st onwards, the ending song will be changed!
The new ending theme will be by Gagaga Special, "Hajimete kimi to shabetta (The first time we spoke)".
What kind of a song will this song be, right after Captain Strydem's "Mountain A-go-go 2"?
Look forward to it!
And with that, don't miss the one hour special on January 1st, 2005!
Okay!
You've been listening to Oo! Naruto Nippon! in Jump Festa 2005!
Let's end it while we listen to Uzumaki Naruto's Oh! Enka!
What a pity, time is already up!
And so, how was the program the both of you?

KAKASHI
It was very fun.
We're always recording this in the studio, so...
But in front of such a big crowd...

NARUTO
It's really big!

KAKASHI
It's great to be able to see your live reactions!

NARUTO
It was fun, wasn't it?
You were so passive today.

KAKASHI
Thank you.
I will be more diligent from now on.
I will try my best to change my ways.

NARUTO
Thank you.
What about you, Non-tan?

SASUKE
Let's see... it's really great to be able to see the reactions of the listeners by myself.

NARUTO
It's true.

KAKASHI
That answer is too normal!!

SASUKE
I'm sorry!!
It was too predictable.

NARUTO
Kazuhiko attacks sometimes.

SASUKE
Yes.
He isn't only passive.

NARUTO
By the way, that Oh! Enka! song playing in the background - both of you have thought up lyrics for it as well.
It's all gone into the song.

KAKASHI
Oh wow!

NARUTO
Let's listen to it properly again later.
People, if it gets into a CD, please buy it!
And please send your praises to Morikubo-kun!
He was the one who wrote the song!

KAKASHI
How remarkable!

NARUTO
Remarkable!
And so, anyway, this will be our last radio broadcast for the year.
Thank you all for your support this year!

SASUKE
Thank you very much!

NARUTO
And now!
The ManPa for January 2005 is... we've already announced it, but...
It's the voice of Sarutobi Asuma - Kosugi Juurouta-san!
I'm waiting for a lot of all your mails and requests!
Please send them!

SASUKE
Please send!

NARUTO
And so anyway, see you next time on the program again!
You've been listening to Takeuchi Junko and!

SASUKE
Sugiyama Noriaki and!

KAKASHI
Inoue Kazuhiko!

ALL THREE
Bye bye!

Aniplex Hour
This part of the program was brought to you by Aniplex, Sony Music, bandai and Showa-Note.


Awww, don't worry Kazuhiko-san, we (or least I XD) still love you--even if you are over 50. ^_^;

He's still a great guy, though. ^_^

Well, that's all for today.
