Today, Eh... today is, the first in history, first in universe, the coupling songs of the new song "DISTRESS AND COMA" release on 25th March will be on-air... as planned!! Planned means that it's still pending. Planned means it's pending~ if there are some adult-related things it [playing of the songs] might be cut-off.

Aoi-san & Sakai-san: Hahahahaha!!!

Sakai-san: Where is it... (Laughs)

Aoi-san: Here it is!! Radio name Maika-san. "Good evening Aoi-san. Today I had to decide a course in school, but I just can't make up my mind!! What profession did Aoi-san wanted to be when you were in middle-school?" With that, the profession I wanted to be~ of course!! ...It's Musician.

Sakai-san: Since middle-school?

Aoi-san: When I was in middle-school [meaning the ambition was on and off]. I practiced the most on electric guitar when I was in middle-school. The electric guitar, yeah. You know~ it's that, uh, I was told by my parents "You have to go to a music vocational school" and "You are not in the position to go to high school!!" and "[You're] hopeless!!".

Aoi-san & Sakai-san: Hahahahahaa!

Aoi-san: Well~... I'm totally no good, I wanted to go to high school... but well after that... there were various things yeah? Although it wasn't continuous [meaning he's ambition as Musician didn't last from middle school until now], Aoi-san wanted to be a Musician when he was in middle school. Maika-san also... well, it's that, I think going to high school would be good. 15 years old... you should just go to high school. ...That's what I think now, but I really thought that going to high school would be better. ..Sakai-kun might have become an university graduate.

Sakai-san: Hahahahahaa!

Aoi-san: Aaha~ what, I won't allow that kind of laughter!

Sakai-san: Hahahaa no no...

Aoi-san: Maika-san, do your best, if you have decided on your road in life, I would also, like to know about it!! With this kind of feeling, I want to do this while flying [fast-paced]. Sakai-kun, are you ready? Now!! Here I would like to have the first song of the night!! Eh... this programme seems like it already has a theme song~ Everyone!! Tonight in this condition I would like to start the first song. So please listen to it, "DISTRESS AND COMA" by the GazettE.

♪"DISTRESS AND COMA" plays

Aoi-san: That was... "DISTRESS AND COMA" by the GazettE.




Aoi-san: Now, this is HOLLYHOCK RADIO sent to you by Aoi from the GazettE, and here, is the corner where I, Aoi-san, conveniently talk about things that are currently on my mind, it's the time for this week's Aoi's Mondo Koro. Hey Sakai-kun.

Sakai-san: Hai, this week's Aoi's Mon..*he bites on his own words here*

Aoi-san: You totally didn't say it!! Sakai-kun!! That isn't good!! Eh~ this week is, this letter here. Radio-name Room No. 605-san. "Aoi-san, good evening. Sakai-kun good evening."

Sakai-san: Good evening.

Aoi-san: Ah, sorry. It [greeting Sakai-san] wasn't written.

Sakai-san: Eh~?!

Aoi-san: Ahahaa sorry sorry. "My neighbour (male) has been doing his own hobbies passionately every night at the veranda [Uh, I'm not sure about this, but it sounds very wrong XD], there are people who have told [complained] him of that. It was quite noisy, but slowly it has become interesting~. Is there any interesting episodes of your live since the time you started living alone~?" With that... Eh~ it seems rather interesting.

Sakai-san: [Aoi's] been talking at the veranda...

Aoi-san: No!! I'm talking in my room.

Sakai-san: Hahahaa!! About what?

Aoi-san: It's true~. Ahh, what if? It seems like "It's my hobby [to talk alone]? It's challenging (Laughs) What's that~

Sakai-san: It already seems interesting when I heard about that.

Aoi-san: Yeah.Like I should also, walk to the veranda myself, then I'll... (Laughs)

Sakai-san: Aahahaha!!

Aoi-san: Maybe something will begin from there...

Sakai-san: That's cool~

Aoi-san: It's cool~. It's like a man, eh, telling you "I hate you". [Sorry no idea about this]

Sakai-san: Uhahahahaa!

Aoi-san: Ah~... there's nothing like that? Sorry sorry, please excuse me~. Eh... Room No. 605-san, is there an interesting episode since Aoi-san started to live alone? ...... You know~.. at the beginning? Afterall you see, like afterall I didn't have things like money. Well~ old... it was an old apartment. Really. Now I don't think they have it? Well, probably... it was built many years ago, well~... it was the time when I was staying in there. It's around the time Aoi-san first came to Tokyo? Wait no, it's around the time the GazettE started?... Well, an old lady was staying next to me, and when we returned back, we would always say things like "Good evening" or "Good morning", but one day [my door] suddenly sounded "Konkon" ... sound of the knocking on doors. Then "Hi", and after that the old lady said "Please give me your signature".

Sakai-san: Hohohohohoo!

Aoi-san: Well, word spread out [that he is living in that apartment], you see, and I've been asked things like "Boy are you in a band? What do you do [in the band]?". Aah~ and I'm like "I'm doing it [band]~".. There are ladies from their houses who asked for signatures. Aah is that so? It just seems like it's good to get our signatures, and that feeling [being asked to give signatures] was good, and when I asked "Where should I sign it?", the lady, well, took out her underwear...

Sakai-san: Hahahahahaa!!

Aoi-san: "Sign my underwear-"

Sakai-san: She said "Sign on the underwear"...

Aoi-san: Yeah... for a while I was shocked. I was like "But under-... Aah, Madam, I can't [sign] on that, obviously it is a second-hand [underwear]!!".

Sakai-san: Hahahahaha!!!

Aoi-san: No no I was thinking "Is this washed?", even if it was washed but, you see, this kind of thing, afterall thi-... if it was brand new... it would be good...

Sakai-san: No even if is was brand new- hahahahahaa!!! Isn't that a little too much...

Aoi-san: No no well, about signing, I was very happy. But I said "Madam, I can't sign on underwear yeah?".

Sakai-san: Hahahahahaa!

Aoi-san: Uhahahahahaa!!! Such a thing happened yeah. At that time, the members all just happened to come [to his house], uh... to make songs... everyone was, speechless [they happened to see Aoi talking to the lady with her underwear XDD]!!!

Sakai-san: Hahahahaha!!!

Aoi-san: This... I wonder if the madam is doing fine.

Sakai-san: Did everyone do it?

Aoi-san: Everyone signed.

Sakai-san: Uwa~ [expression of envy]

Aoi-san: Yup~... we all signed~... and this is the interesting episode, Room No. 605-san. This (Laughs)

Eh, this song is, one of the tracks from the album "Shu" by our senior, Kagrra, , scheduled to be released on 1st April, and I would like to send this to all of you, but this!! Before I went out? It was played in the agency [PSC Company]. Uh... Manager-kun was there yeah, Kagrra,'s. I said "Oh my, Manager-kun! What is this wonderful song [he says Song in English]?".

Sakai-san: "Song"... (Laughs)

Aoi-san: He said "Well this is Kagrra,'s new album~ Eeh how did you find it?", "Does Aoi-san like it?" and then "Is it possible to play this [on the radio]?". So with that... I've got it!! The sound source!!

Sakai-san: For the night of Aichi.

Aoi-san: And now- ...if there are stories of anger and touching moments, dramatic stories or stories that sound like a lie, but they are real stories from your surrounding, please tell us about it... it's the Weekly Dramatic Corner. And now, I would like to introduce them as soon as possible!! Eh... Radio-name Nonchan-san. "Good evening Aoi-san~.". Good evening. "Good evening Sakai-kun."

Sakai-san: Good evening.

Aoi-san: "Good evening Koga-san."

Sakai-san: Good evening-

Aoi-san: It's isn't the same [person], change your voice!

Sakai-san: Hai...

Aoi-san: Hai. "I submitted [a letter] to Weekly Dramatic with a story to tell. For me, I would like to talk about my parents. When my mother was 18 years old she married my father who is 8 years older than her, and I also said that it would be great if I could get married earlier too. 6 years ago, when I still had no desire to get married, I asked my mom "If you didn't had a child would still still marry so early?" and "You really want to get married that badly?". At that time my mother said this. "This was because mother was happy to get married with your father. It doesn't really matter if we are getting married earlier or later, if your father was with me I will be happy.", and until now I still remember clearly my mother's face that was filled with happiness. They have been married for 31 years, when I asked them that question, it was when they were married for 25 years. I think that it's great to have such [loving] parents."... It's great.

Sakai-san: Well~ it's really dramatic.

Aoi-san: Un, well it's good. After that "During that time I thought that if I got married with the same state [to have a loving partner] it would be great". Then, Nonchan said this. "When my father calls my mother he uses a pet name"... What's this!

Sakai-san: Nohoho!! It's jealousy...

Aoi-san: Jealousy!!

Sakai-san: Jealousy.

Aoi-san: The girl [Nonchan]!! The girl is jealous!! Nonchan... you must be happy.

Sakai-san: It's a family to be envious of.

Aoi-san: Yeah.. Well, I also want to get married, like this couple.

Sakai-san: You're right-

Aoi-san: How do you feel, Sakai-kun?

Sakai-san: It's great to have a family that even the children are envious of.

Aoi-san: You're right, I think it's great~. Somehow~ I feel contented.

Sakai-san: Yeah.

Aoi-san: Nonchan... this is good, Aoi-san is also yearning for this kind of family... Can I be the son-in-law of this family?

Sakai-san: Hahahahaha!! To that extent~ (Laughs)

Aoi-san: And, with that~ With Aoi-san's judgement and prejudice, I would like to give a special good made by the GazettE to Nonchan-san as a present, with Aoi-san's words of appreciation in it. Un~. Hai!! ...and now you have waited for a long time~ finally, it's finally the time... want to hear it?

Sakai-san: I would like to hear it!

Aoi-san: Really? I'm okay with it yeah...

Sakai-san: Yeah.

Aoi-san: Probably everyone listening to the radio are also like, thinking that the coupling [song] doesn't really matter yeah? It's alright if i don't play it.

Sakai-san: No no no no there's no such thing-

Aoi-san: I wonder if it's true~

Sakai-san: It's painful..

Aoi-san: painful?

Sakai-san: Yeah-

Aoi-san: Really? Probably now, I wonder if I should press the recording button or not..

Sakai-san: Before the radio.

Aoi-san: Before the radio. I have the feeling like "what should I do" and I think my fingers are like pudding [wobbly]. Everyone must be thinking "Just do it [playing of the song]!!" (Laughs) and "This rascal Aoi!!", I can feel it... should we start now? Sakai-kun.

Sakai-san: I'm counting on you.

Aoi-san: Ehh~... It's the coupling song for new song "DISTRESS AND COMA", scheduled to be released on 25th March. the GazettE's "HEADACHE MAN".

♪"HEADACHE MAN" plays



Aoi-san:Hai, sent to you was the coupling song "HEADACHE MAN", for "DISTRESS AND COMA" by the GazettE, scheduled to be released on 25th March. How is it Sakai-kun. How did you feel about it when you heard it till the end.

Sakai-san: It's Ultra S. [Ultra Sadistic? XD]

Aoi-san: Isn't it~? It's still early yeah~. Sakai-kun~ you're hopeless like this~. How is this song.

Sakai-san: It's good, it's cool~

Aoi-san: Really?

Sakai-san: I would want to hear the whole of it~

Aoi-san: Really? Sakai-kan hasn't heard it yet? U~waa somehow I have a bad feeling-

Sakai-san: Uhahahahaa!

Aoi-san: Ehehehehee!! Sakai-kun has heard it [the full song]. Because he has previleges, he's the Manager yeah.



Aoi-san: This week is also, quite fast. It's already the time to part for today's HOLLYHOCK RADIO. Well, today we also heard a little of the coupling of the new song... I went to the trouble of pressing the recording button but in the end, it seems like it wasn't my button and it wasn't even my voice!
