VS Arashi 2017.10.12 - Quiz: Matsumoto Jun

[kristal_brooks]

If this whole episode was awesome, it's also because of this hilarious special segment that they made called "Quiz: Matsumoto Jun." It's basically just a way for the staff to mess with Jun, and I love them for that so much. I hope we're getting this in the future for other members as well. *prays*
Please enjoy!

[Adorable Jun points at the stairs asking if he has to go up]
[Everyone cheers]
J: Excuse me!
[Arashi start bowing and worshipping king Matsumoto, followed by the Narratage team and the Sexy Zone team]
J: It's not like that, it's not, it's not. It's not like that.




WHAT A CUTE LITTLE FLOWER ASDFGHJKL HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE MATSUMOTO

J: Excuse me! Wait a second. The staff had a lot of fun with this, didn't they? What is this?
H: This time, Matsumoto-san is participating with the guest team, so we prepared a special challenge about Matsumoto Jun.
J: No, no, they really had fun, didn't they?
H: Well then, I will explain the rules for Quiz: Matsumoto Jun.
J: So weird...
H: You'll go against each other on questions regarding Matsumoto Jun's preferences. Both teams will have to answer with a prediction of what Matsumoto Jun's answer will be. If your answer is the same as Matsumoto Jun's, you will gain [20] points for each answer.
In the spirit of fairness, the two members of Sexy Zone team will answer for the Arashi team. Since the other four Arashi are Matsumoto Jun specialists, they will provide us with exemplar answers.
N: I see!
J: That... I understand that. Because it's been 20 years already, right?
S: That's right. In about 20 years we have conducted a study on Matsumoto Jun.
N: Now it's the time! Now it's the time to give the results of our study.
A: Let's present it.
H: So, Matsumoto-san.
J: Yes.
H: How comfortable is your chair?
J: It's neither good or bad.
H: Arashi members, do you recognise this chair?
A: Ah!
N: Kizoku Tantei?
A: It's Kizoku Tantei's chair!
J: Ah. It's Gozen-sama's chair!?
A: Why don't you return it to me?
J: That's awesome. You got the real one.
H: This time we borrowed it specially.
J: Somehow, I'm sorry for having said it's neither good or bad.
A: That's awful!
J: I'm sorry.
A: That's bad!
J: I didn't think this was the case.



I love how Nino was the first one to realise it was KT's chair he's such a tsundere but he cares so much, the lil shit™

H: Well, then, members of the Narratage team costarring in the movie, you want to be united at this point.
Ar: Yes.
H: Arimura-san, how's your confidence?
Ar: I've co-starred with him two times...
J: That's right.
Ar: ...so I want to do my best.
H: For the Arashi team, we have the two from Sexy Zone.
Sh: Well, we've been allowed to be his kouhais this whole time...
S: That's right.
N: You'll be his kouhai until you die, right?
Sh: Because we'll be his kouhai until we die, to not get the answers would be bad.
H: Matsushima-san
So: Yes!
H: You have a favour to ask Matsumoto-san, don't you?
So: Eh? Is it okay?
J: Anything is okay.
So: Well, we were together in Waku Waku Gakkou 2017... Since you were considerate, gentle, always had smell nice... I want this Jun-kun to become my oniichan (big brother.)
Sh: Do you even know what you're saying!?
S: Shori, thank you!
Sh: Because we're kouhais.
So: No, it has nothing to do with being kouhais. I want him to become my oniichan.
N: You said that exactly like IKKO-san.
So: Wait! It's not that!
N: He did, right? When he said "he always smells good" and such.
So: I have one favour to ask to Jun-kun.
S: You have a favour to ask?
J: What is it?
So: Won't you... hold me "tight"? [tn: Sou says "ぎゅっと" (gyutto), which is the title of Sexy Zone's new single, but the way he says his line makes it look like he's asking Jun to hold him tight. There's a lot of "gay" jokes in this episode, so this is just playing off of that.]
J: I don't have that kind of hobby, you know?


What a weird way to promote a single though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

N: That's bad!
So: It's bad?
J: I apologise.
Sh: That's right, because Sexy Zone's new song's title is "Tightly".
It's now on sale, so please support us.
J: Wait a second. Don't do your promotion using me!
So: That's not it! That's not it!
I really want you to hold me tight.
H: Let's start then. Who will be the team who better understands Matsumoto Jun? Quiz: Matsumoto Jun, here's the first question!
When is Matsumoto Jun's birthday?
N: Everyone already...
S: Is there anyone who doesn't know in the entire nation?
J: There are, there are.
This should probably be okay, shouldn't it?
H: First, let's take a look at Arashi's exemplar answer. Here it is: the 30th of August.
Let's see everyone's answer now. First, Narratage team.
V: Matsu...
H: [Narratage team's answer:] 30th of August.
V: ...MOTO...
H: [Sexy Zone's answer:] 30th of August.
V: ...JUN!
J: OI!!
H: [Jun's answer:] 30th of August! It's correct!
J: Wait a second! Wait a second!
N: What's wrong? Everyone answered correctly.
J: No, no, it's not that.
H: Matsumoto-san there's other questions.
J: When we're done, I will... ay? We'll have a meeting!



Everyone (me included) was laughing, and this Teddy Bear™ just starts yelling to the staff in that adorable way srsly how are Jun girls still alive it's a mystery to me

H: Well then, the next question.
What's Matsumoto Jun's hobby?
J: Eh!? What's my hobby? What is my hobby, I wonder?
S: There's not many, right?
H: First, let's take a look at Arashi's exemplar answer. Bonsai.
Let's see everyone's answer now.
V: Matsu...
H: [Narratage team's answer:] Aestethics. [tn: I guess?]
V: ...MOTO...
J: It's embarrassing!
H: [Sexy Zone's answer:] Bonsai.
V: ...JUUUN!
H: [Jun's answer:] Bonsai!
So that means that Sexy Zone answered correctly while the Narratage team was incorrect.


Gee, Matsumoto, just what will your hobby be I wonder? But look how cute he is when he smiles asdfghjkl

H: Well then, here's the next question.
"XXX pan." If you ask Matsumoto Jun to fill in the blank what word would he choose?
J: Eh, what is it?
There's a lot.
H: First, let's take a look at Arashi's exemplar answer. Here it is: Ja-pan.
J: I see, I see.
H: How will it be? Let's see everyone's answer now.
V: Matsu...
H: [Narratage team's answer:] Fry pan.
V: ...MOTO...
H: [Sexy Zone's answer:] Koshi-pan [tn: a way to wear pants]
V: ...JUUUN!
H: [Jun's answer:] Fry pan!
N: Awesome! Awesome! You got it! Awesome!
H: Which means, Movie Narratage team got it correctly!
J: Can I say something? Don't you normally say "open" when you show the answers?
H: Here's the next question.
J: Seems like they didn't hear me.



At this point his "anger" has reached the point of no return... on the adorableness scale!! I'm sorry I'm weak to this Teddy Bear™

H: What's Matsumoto Jun's catchphrase?
S: [dying from the laughter] It's that! Let's go with that!
N: There's no other answer.
H: First, let's take a look at Arashi's exemplar answer. "Isn't this room a bit chilly?"
N: It's this one. The one and only.
A: He says that, certainly.
N: It's this, right?
J: I do say that.
H: Let's see everyone's answer now.
V: Matsu...
H: [Narratage team's answer:] "I see." (naruhodo)
V: ...MOTO...
H: [Sexy Zone's answer:] "Rather..." (ttekasa)
V: ...JUUUN!
H: [Jun's answer:] "Like..." (nanka)
Which means, Sexy Zone...
J: That's good. It's close.
H: ...unfortunately it's wrong.
None of the teams gets points. But first, we've just finished four questions, but now that you're done how does it look?
N: Isn't it amazing that they got "fry pan"?
J: You got that, didn't you?
Ar: We did.
S: Who gave that answer?
G: Kasumi-chan.
N: Apart from the "bonsai" answer it went good, right?
Sh: Sou-kun got the "bonsai" answer.
He wrote down the answer.
N: As expected.
S: Matsumoto Jun.
N: MATSU...
Arashi: MOTO... JUUUUN!
J: Stop it!



Arashi teasing Jun with Sakumiya at the head of the teasing? Sign me up any time. Also, I love how Jun can't stop smiling the whole time.

A: Thank you.
O: His catchphrase...
S: Nino wrote it, right?
O: ...you say that a lot, don't you?
J: Well... Certainly, this summer the five of us had a lot of preparatory meetings. We would meet in the rehearsal room, but we didn't move or anything. They kept raising the air conditioning for the people who were moving around a lot. So certainly between us five I was the first to say "isn't this room a bit chilly?"
N: We thought it could only be this.
S: Great job, Nino.
J: [pointing at Narratage team's answer] I say "I see" a lot when I'm on set.
G: You said it today as well.
J: Really?
N: You said it to the director. Instead of "yes, understood!" you said "I see."
J: Stop! Stop, that's not true.
H: And now, the second battle. First, here's the question.
"If Matsumoto Jun had to choose another member to go on a trip together, who would it be?"
J: Eh!? That's hard. Ugh, that's hard! It's hard. What should I do?


This shot made me laugh so much xD

H: First, let's take a look at Arashi's exemplar answer. Ohno-san.
N: The person himself wrote that, so...



MY JUNTOSHI HEART!!! Of course Oh-chan would choose himself.

H: Let's see everyone's answer now.
V: Matsu...
H: [Narratage team's answer:] Ohno-san.
V: ...MOTO...
H: [Sexy Zone's answer:] Aiba-kun.
V: ...JUUUN!
H: [Jun's answer:] Aiba-kun!
N: Nice, nice. Thank you.
H: So that means that Sexy Zone hit the bullseye.
J: I'm sorry. Ohno-san, I'm sorry.
H: Here's the next question.
"What's Matsumoto Jun's temperature setting?"
J: Where?
H: The air conditioning.
J: No, no, I mean, in my house?
H: In the dressing room.
J: In the dressing room? But I'm not alone in the dressing room. Let's make it at my house.
H: Okay, let's make it your house then.
N: He can even overrule the questions!?



Probably the highlight of the whole segment. Only King Matsumoto could overrule the questions like that xD

H: First, let's take a look at Arashi's exemplar answer. 27°C.
Let's see everyone's answer now.
V: Matsu...
H: [Narratage team's answer:] 26°C.
V: ...MOTO...
H: [Sexy Zone's answer:] 28°C.
V: ...JUUUN!
H: [Jun's answer:] 28°C!
Sexy Zone was right on target!
A: So it's 28°C...
H: Here's the next question.
"What's Matsumoto Jun's charm point?"
J: Something that I think of and say "Ah, that's charming"?
S: I would never want to write this about myself.
J: Because it's like a penalty game, right?
H: First, let's take a look at Arashi's exemplar answer. Eyebrows.
Let's see everyone's answer now.
V: Matsu...
H: [Narratage team's answer:] Eyebrows.
V: ...MOTO...
H: [Sexy Zone's answer:] Eyebrows.
V: ...JUUUN!
H: [Jun's answer:] Eyebrows!
N: As expected.



Another highlight of the episode. Jun is such a Teddy Bear™ with his bright, embarrassed smile when everyone guesses correctly + everyone bowing to him is so stupidly hilarious.

H: A perfect came out!
Here's the last question. If Matsumoto Jun had to compare himself to a flower, what would it be?
J: Uh!? If I were a flower?
Ah, but maybe they wouldn't have this image of me. Will they understand my core being?
H: First, let's take a look at Arashi's exemplar answer. Lavender.
J: Because of the colour, right?
H: Let's see everyone's answer now.
V: Matsu...
H: [Narratage team's answer:] Rose.
V: ...MOTO...
H: [Sexy Zone's answer:] Rose.
V: ...JUUUN!
H: [Jun's answer:] Sunflower!
N: Ah! That one! It was a choice between these two!
H: Which means, there was no correct answer. That was the last answer. That's it!
N: In one way or another, we ended up being the ones who were the most amused.
A: The "sunflower" answer makes you wonder a bit, doesn't it? Why the sunflower?
J: The curtain at the entrance of my dressing room is a sunflower.
S: Eh? Really?
When you do a stage play and such?
J: Exactly.
S: Why did you choose the rose, Narratage team?
Ar: We also were undecided between the rose and the sunflower.
S: The sunflower did come up, though.
Ar: It did.
Sh: Sou-kun did mention the sunflower.
S: Everyone thought of the sunflower, after all.
So: But after all, Jun-kun's image is a bit that of a passionate-like red rose, right?
J: Nah, you guys are the rose!
So: No, no.
S: What are you getting all embarrassed for!
N: Why did you choose Aiba-san [for the trip question]?
J: It could have been only Leader or Aiba-kun, sorry you two.
N: No, no, it's fine. It's like that.


Sho (probably): conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

J: Between these two, I already went with Leader many times right?
A: That's right.
J: We went already, for work as well, so I thought, I've never been just with Aiba-kun.
A: That's true. Lately, we've been going shopping together and stuff, right?
S: You went shopping together!?
A: Yes.
S: I'm just confirming but you didn't go to the supermarket, right?
A: No, no, we went shopping for clothes.
S: You went shopping for clothes together!?


PLEASE LOOK AT THE BETRAYAL IN SHO'S FACE IS2G THIS SHIP SAILS ITSELF sorry

N: 28°C?
S: When that question came, we saw him show his true worth, didn't we?
N: We did.
S: "What? Is that the dressing room? I'm not alone in the dressing room. Make it my own room." We saw his true worth.



Sho teased Jun so much in this ep omg. And Jun laughing about it is just about my favourite thing.



There are soooooo many things I loved about this segment!!
First of all, I already mentioned it, but the fact that they teased Jun to no end was the best. when the voice shouted Matsu... MOTO... JUUUUN!! every time, I swear I died from all the laughing. I loved seeing him "angry" because his Teddy Bear™ side comes out so easily <3
Second, LET'S TALK ABOUT MY JUNTOSHI HEART!! Poor Oh-chan, he keeps on getting shot down by Jun lol But how adorable is it that he wrote his name down himself?? Can he be more precious??? And let's not talk about how Jun said I went with Leader many times already right? so casually LIKE EXCUSE YOU COULD YOU NOT???
Thirdly, Nino was a Lil Shit™ again, dear lord you have no idea how much I hate to love him.
ALSO did you see the Junba??? MY NAKIMUSHI PAIR WILL MAKE ME CRY SO MUCH. And Sho feeling completely left out was just the cherry on top I tell you.

This segment was definitely my fav part of the episode (oh, well, there's also the "Masaki!" "Sho!" part, but yeah.) I hope they make the rest of the members do it as well - especially Sho and Nino. I need Sho to answer to the "charming point" question with "my butt" and I need people to mock Nino with his catchphrase about winning the Japanese Academy Award for best actor.

What do you think would be good (aka embarrassing) questions they should answer to?

[windyway94]

Uwaaaaah thanks for the translation!
This segment looks so fun (AND JUN'S SMILE IS UWAAAAAAAAA I JUST CAN'T-). I thought it'd be like Teamwork Match but seeing Jun sat on the top of the podium was more than enough for me hahahaha. VSA Staff-san, otsukaresama~!

If this segment was so hilarious with Jun, it'll be MORE hilarious with the rest of members. I can imagine their confused faces when they should answer about their charms (Sho was like "my plump lips" or Nino's "my super duper good-looking and forever young face"). I'd be like I'M SO DONE. BYE XD.

[kristal_brooks]

The level of bullying was no joke in this episode xD Jun was bullied BY EVERYONE: the staff, Sho, Nino, even Aiba when he asked "what about the sunflower question?" xD Poor Oh-chan is the only one who loves him unconditionally xD And he even got refused... again!

I think this was funnier than the Teamwork challenge because I feel bad for the members who have to take part since they spend most of the time in the locker. But this way they get to participate AND we get to see them being teased, which is a win-win xD

BUT SHO'S CHARMING POINT IS HIS BUTT THO
We NEED them to do the special quiz too!

[learashi]

I cannot answer your questions becuase I seriously almost died watching this and still haven't recovered. He was so happy and adorable and Sho's pouting face and the whole thing was just asknadskjsdhkkd
I wonder how they could do Ohno, when he probably doesn't even know the answers himself? Hahaha.
Thank you for this translation of the best VSA moment ever.

[kristal_brooks]

I think probably Oh-chan would make us laugh the most though. He has such a natural comedic aura to him lol Plus I want him to get a question like Jun's where he has to choose a member and I want his unrequited love for Jun to show again xD I seriously live for it.

[banana_toffee]

This makes me want to watch the episode :))

[kristal_brooks]

Please do! It's seriously funny! Annoying "gay" jokes notwithstanding.

[junaibanina]

Thank you for sharing. Look like a fun episode! I wonder if Nino will appear in Vs Arashi with Last recipe Cast. They should do a Ninomiya Quiz too!

[kristal_brooks]

I want Nino to do it so much! Even though he would probably just enjoy it too much xD I hope Sho will give him hell anyway though xD

[pcneo]

thank you for the translation. it makes me looking forward to the sub for this episode. :D

[tormentajaponesa]

hahaha this part was hilarious!!! When I watched for the first time I played the quiz game. I laughed a lot!

[deelovesryo]

Thanks for your latest translations. I still have to watch the episode but it looks like so much fun, I'm looking forward to it^^

[netika]

thank u ^^

[clairdwinter]

Thank you for the translation! This was so hilarious :)

[floops_amnos]

Thanks for the translation of this segment! I literally just watched this episode today and then I found your post! Even without understanding what they said I was still laughing like crazy and now it's 10x more amusing!
Thank you!! :)
