Guest: Katou Shigeaki

Opening: August is almost over, which means that junior high and high school students are about to go back to school. In Japan, kids are given homework to do over the summer, and there are various ways kids react to it. Some do it all like good kids, some do a little then give up, some do it all the day before it's due, and some don't do it at all. What Shige did (or does regularly, I don't know) was he planned to do a page or two every day, so it wouldn't all pile up and become stressful towards the end. So while everyone else is freaking out about finishing their summer homework, he can look at them smugly.

News Showdown
As usual the guest team and Koyama team read little statements sent in by listeners, and staff at the radio station judged them on whose was better. For this particular episode, the statements were NEWS-related puns. Puns are hard enough to understand for me, let alone translate/explain, so..I'm sorry ＞＜ I wrote the Japanese when I could hear it well enough, and the English when I could actually translate it.

Round #1: MASSU SHOWDOWN (because they were both about Massu)
Shige: Koyama yori, Masuda no gag no hou ga, masu da.
Koyama: Massu wo damasu! ('deceive Massu')
Results: Koyama!

Round #2: SHIGE SHOWDOWN (because the girls writing in both used Shige's name in their radio names)
Shige: NEWS no news wo nyuushu shimashita! (in a SCARY high-pitched voice *g* He explained that the girl wanted him to read it "cutely," to which Koyama responded: "it wasn't cute~") ('I obtained NEWS' news!')
Koyama: Shige no kakushigei ('Shige's hidden talent')
Results: Shige!

Round #3: HOKKAIDO SHOWDOWN (because the girls writing in were both from Hokkaido)
Shige: asoko ni kaimono ni ikou! eh, asoko tte? asoko! Itouyou-Katou! ('Let's go shopping there! Huh, what do you mean by there? THERE! Itouyou-Katou!') (Itouyou Kadou is a shopping center)
Koyama: (First, Koyama explained that his pun is a conversation between Yamapi and himself) ore ne, futae ni natta no! maji?! urayamapi! ('My eyelids became double layer! Really?! I'm jealous!') (the normal word for 'jealous' is 'urayamashii.' They said that it'd be cute if Yamapi said it, but it'd be weird for Koyama to)
Results: Shige!

Next time they're going to do self-introductions, like "I'm Koyama Keiichirou, who _____" (does such-and-such, or is such-and-such, etc). While Koyama read the email address for the program, Shige interrupted him so he could say the "at" part.

♪ TEPPEN

Katou Shigeaki no Shigekix!
(Shigekix is a kind of sweet apparently. But judging from the website it looks really scary to me.)
The other guys have "____ lessons that girls can understand!" but Shige is paired with Koyama, and they talk about their pets! (I guess girls can understand pets without lessons ) Shige has a dachshund named Nana-chan, and Koyama has a fat kitty named Nyanta-kun. Nana-chan used to be really fat because when she was younger they'd feed her anything she wanted cause she was too cute to resist, but now she's on a diet. She has a small head, but a big body. Koyama described her as "kyu BON!" (The typically desired female figure is "bon kyu bon" -- big boobs, small waist, big hips ... so apply that to a dog LOL). Shige called Nyanta-kun a "fatty" (debu). He doesn't ever go outside, and he's really shy. When Koyama tried recording him meowing for Kchan News, he wouldn't even meow once.

They talked about pets they wanted to keep, and I SWEAR Shige said he wanted an oompa loompa. No matter how many times I listen, that's what it sounds like to me. He explained that they look like Massu *g* They both like ferrets, cause they're really cute. Shige told a story of when he and his family left to go visit his relatives, they had to get someone to take care of Nana-chan. When they got home, she was really excited to see..Shige's mom. Not Shige.

Ending: Tomorrow Summary is restarting! (Tomorrow = August 30th). When Koyama read the email address, he let Shige say the "at" part.
