Guest: Masuda Takahisa

Opening: It's autumn, which means that school's about to start! Koyama told us all to eat yummy autumn foods. He said that this time's guest is pretty particular about food, haha. He didn't even call him by his full name when he introduced him! Massu started out all low tension, which annoyed Koyama. Ktarou said that that type of character doesn't suit Massu..he should be energetic. Massu talked about when Tegoshi was on Recomen before, how he makes fun of Massu a lot. But Ktarou said that it's because Tego loves Massu! Aww♥ Massu insisted that he's never said "mohi mohi" on the phone (reference: Kchan News 2005.09.12), but the fact that he just said it on the radio made Ktarou and Koyama laugh.

News Showdown
Wow, they haven't done this in a while! I wonder if it took them this long to accumulate enough suggestions from listeners Uh~ basically the guest and Koyama take turns reading little one-liners sent in from the listeners, and three staff members at the radio station judge who won. There have been rumors of a punishment (batsu game), but this is the first time I've actually heard them give one out! This time they read little introductory statements, in the form of "I'm [name], who [does/is something]." The listeners were instructed to send in introductions that could be read by anyone, but some of them were clearly intended for specific members.

Round #1
Masuda: I'm Masuda Takahisa, whose shampoo is ?? (I can NOT figure out what he's saying here.. it was meant for Shige though)
Koyama: I'm Koyama, and recently I've developed an abnormal confidence about my nipples!
Results: Koyama (2-1)

After Koyama read his, Massu kept giggling and saying "nipples" and call the girl who sent it in a pervert.

Round #2
Masuda: (it was too long, and he messed up, and I have a hard enough time understand his lisp.. all I really caught was "a face-to-face muscle battle in the dressing room, anytime, anywhere")
Koyama: I'm Koyama, who even know doesn't know the difference between lettuce and cabbage!
Results: Masuda (3-0)

Round #3
Masuda: My pajama pants are too short! ..I'm Masuda Taka--- *laughs* (he forgot to add in his name at the end)
Koyama: I'm Koyama, who worries before singing about whether the microphone has batteries in it or not.. (this one was clearly meant for Koyama)
Results: Masuda (3-0)

Masuda won~!! And according to the weird rules that I don't understand, this meant that Koyama got the punishment! ..which was thought up by a listener! (You know..it's great that the listeners can have an effect on the show.. but it kind of feels like they're all too lazy to think up their own stuff!) Apparently Koyama does impressions of Kurochan from Yasuda Dai-Circus (a comedy trio; Kurochan speaks in a reeeeally high voice), and Tongarikun (??) but he only does them in front of Shige. His punishment is to do them in front of Ryo, and record his reaction. HAHAHA.

♪ Cherish

Masuda Takahisa no Stop The Masuda
...they're both TOTAL RETARDS... They were "singing" (if "dun dun dun" counts as singing), which Massu continued even after Koyama started doing, you know, HOSTING. After he finished that, though, they went back to "singing." This particular edition of Stop the Masuda is about something Massu hates -- bugs! The plan was for Koyama and Ktarou to talk him into liking bugs, but actually..Koyama doesn't like them either. Massu explained that he wasn't raised to have a lot of contact with bugs, so that's why he's scared of them. But he said praying mantises are cool! Massu told a story of when he was in a train, and thought something smelled..and he looked down and saw a kamemushi (some sort of stinky bug) on him! So he screamed like the little girl he is, and everyone on the train stared at him, haha.

Ending: On September 15th, NEWS turned 2 years old! ...which of course meant Koyama had to use baby talk. "nichai dechu yo~" "mada mada kodomo dechu ne~" DORK. While Koyama was reading off the contact information for the show, Masuda said random words with him. They talked about the engimono (reference: previous episodes of Kchan News) that Massu, Shige, Tegoshi, and Kusano are in. Masuda's character is a guy who wants to start a band. Shige's is popular with girls. Kusano's is weird and a pervert. And Tegoshi's is silent.
