[02:00] The song aired this week was titled Romeo & Juliet. This is the song that was played during the ending part of Ueda’s stage show.

[04:22] KAT-TUN’s Delicate Rumours Section

[04:31] Rumour: Maru likes sweet stuff so much that he drinks condensed milk and strawberry cream.
Maru said that he loves sweet food. He dips strawberries in condensed milk to eat sometimes. And he drank a tube of condensed milk before when he was either in elementary or junior high school. The taste was overwhelming though and he advised against doing it. This rumour is true.

[05:28] Rumour: The tomatoes and pickled plums which Kame can’t eat, other members would eat for him.
Ueda and Maru both said “no” to this rumour. They went on to say that Kame doesn’t like a lot of food. Maru added that like Kame, Koki doesn’t eat green pepper. And Kame was quoted saying, “I’ll dig out those pickled plums in the rice”.

[06:04] Rumour: Kame likes Oda Nobunaga.
Ueda said “yes”. Kame was quoted saying, “My previous life was Oda Nobunaga”.

[07:50] Mail One KAT-TUN Section

[07:57] Mail: Congratulations to KAT-TUN on their 3rd debut anniversary.
Ueda forgot the date of the anniversary. After Maru told him it was March 22nd, Ueda said that he seemed to have heard words of “congratulations” on that day’s stage show.

[08:52] Mail: During Ueda’s punishment game episode (T/N: Ep 156 2009.03.24), the listener said it was scary during the middle part, where there was no talking.
Maru and Ueda wondered if the listener was talking about the part where they were in the management’s office. Maru said that there would be future punishment games and he won’t be losing and doing them. Ueda replied that he won’t mind if there are interesting games. In the meantime, he quoted what he said as Jin’s famous words, “Enjoy the current moment”.

[09:58] Mail: It had been hard on Maru filming RESCUE. What hairstyle does Maru intend to have after the drama? The fan said that she likes his original long hairstyle.
Maru said he was vexing over his hairstyle too. He hasn’t got tired of this hairstyle yet but he felt that this hairstyle doesn’t match his clothes. Ueda said Maru looks good whether it’s long or short hair. But he went on to say that he thinks Maru looks better now. And eventually Maru said that short hair is easier to maintain. They ended the topic with Ueda saying that Maru should just keep his current hairstyle until Maru gets tired of it. Maru agreed.

[11:43] They started talking about the celebratory party of RESCUE (drama). Maru said that he won a smart vacuum cleaner during bingo (T/N: A kind of lucky draw). He brought it home even though he may have to return it eventually as such prizes are usually given to staff than actors. Ueda said Maru’s desire won over. But Maru said that he did cast a questioning eye to ask for the staff’s permission when the prize was announced, and he got a positive response. Maru said that he would go to Ueda’s drama (T/N: Konkatsu!) celebratory party too. Ueda replied that it was okay for Maru not to go because he doubted that Maru would win bingo.
[14:17] Ueda repeated what he said on Konkatsu!’s press conference. “Because this is my first time, I guess many people have questions about me. But I’ll do my best. Yoroshiku oneigaishimasu!” Ueda said he is nervous for the drama and Maru said that he has to get used to it.

[16:26] Secret Question
Ueda replied that he wants to hold hands. Maru said that holding hands would be the best.
