Fan mail #1: The first fan-submitted question goes: “Eririn, when exactly are you planning on switching from analog Eririn to digital Eririn?

I don’t think I’m either analog nor digital,” Kame says. “Well, what kind of an Eririn are you then?,” Gaki-san asks. Kame says that she is in fact beyond both. “I’m actually quite advanced!” While analog has the image of being something old, even digital now seems old to Kame!

Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Kame (whispering): I’m lying…
Gaki-san: five-nk@interfm.jp
Kame (whispering): I’m not advanced at all…
Gaki-san: That was all lies?! (laughs)

FIVE STARS Niigaki Risa & Kamei Eri #61 (2010.05.31)

Fan mail #1: This message is from an 18-year-old girl who says that, rather than perfume, they prefer the smell of detergent on freshly washed clothes. She asks what smells our hosts like.

Gaki-san is the same — to her, it’s all about the blue Downy. Meanwhile, Kame likes the smell of soap, and she’s also heard that men don’t really like the smell of perfume on women. In the past, however, she had a period in time when she was hooked on perfume. She remembers one occasion especially when she put on way too much and was told by all kinds of people, men and women alike, that she stunk. Gaki-san, too, remembers a recording session where one of the recording engineers shouted out “man, Morning Musume sure stinks of perfume!

Fan mail #1: This first fan letter is from radio name Yuto-san, and it goes as follows: “GOOD EVENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

Kame: The end.
Gaki-san: … That’s all? (laughs)
Kame: This person… Yuto-san? Are you good with this? Is this the kind of life you hope to be leading?

Fan mail #2: The listener congratulates Gaki-san for finally having gotten to start up her own blog. They wish her the best of luck with it.

Gaki-san says blogging has been lots of fun. She also enjoys reading the comments, where fans take the time to leave their thoughts on their concerts… or just reporting to her about the various things they saw Kame doing. In fact, even their manager can now often be seen with a camera in hand, trying to take pictures of Kame doing strange things so they can be uploaded on Gaki-san’s blog.

Fan mail #1: In the spirit of “ask us anything,” the first listener asks: if half of Gaki-san is made up of kindness, as has been claimed before, what then is Kame half made of?

The blessings of the Earth,” Kame responds without hesitation. Kame then asks Gaki-san to stop laughing — she’s being serious. She tries to explain: she apparently exists thanks to the sun… the plains… the whole Earth, basically. “Did you get it all out of your system?,” Gaki-san asks, before telling the “blessing of the Earth” sitting next to her to read us their next fan mail.

Fan mail #2: “This spring I entered university. I fell in love with that girl. I will do my best.

Did you get it all out of your system?,” Kame asks. “What’s going on with our listeners today?,” Gaki-san wonders aloud. Kame would also like to know which girl exactly the listener fell in love with.

Next month, Morning Musume are releasing their new single entitled “Seishun Collection.” Gaki-san describes it as a very positive and spring-like number.

Fan mail #1: The first fan mail of tonight’s show presents the hosts with a simple question: in their respective households, who in the family gets to decide which channel the TV gets adjusted to?

In Kame’s family, while the matter is not quite set in stone, Kame thinks she’s often the one who gets to decide. “That’s kind of the rule,” she says. She explains though that this isn’t her fault — it’s the other members of her family who decided to make it so. “If we don’t watch what Eri wants to watch, she might get angry…” Likewise, in Gaki-san’s family it’s often the females who get to choose… leaving the only male of the household, Gaki-san’s father, to fend for himself. When he wants to watch soccer or such, he must do so in his own room.

It’s a women’s society,” Kame proclaims.
