Nogizaka Locks! (乃木坂LOCKS!) is a radio show featuring Kaki Haruka. It is one of the many segments of School of Lock!, and airs every Thursdays at 11:08PM to 11:25PM JST on Tokyo FM.
Kakki seems to be having a lot of fun here so let's try to recap some select moments. It is a couple of episodes behind at the moment, but if all goes well hopefully not for long.

EP1 (210408)
8
Since this first Nogizaka Locks! episode aired on the 8th of April, the 'fate' (縁) thing with the number 8 continues. She recounts some related events which Kakki fans would already know:
- Born on 8/8, at 8:00 (2001)
- Showroom screening number during the Sakamichi Joint Audition is #18
- First blog post ever written as Nogi (4ki relay) was on the 8th of May, 2019
Sketchbook
During 4ki's omitatekai, Kaki used a sketchbook for her self-intro. She brought that sketchbook to the studio and shot another self-intro (which can be found here).
Surprise
After taking a congratulatory call from a listener, Kakki is brought to tears by a surprise visit from Seira who wants to give her encouragement. Seira says they've just been together that morning, and Kakki apparently has been visibly nervous. Sweet moment. Actually, Seira's whole guise since that morning was she's gonna have an interview that day, and she has to sound worried about it around Kakki. So it's almost prank-level how she set it up for it to be so unexpected.
Caller
An unsuspecting caller with radio name 'Saraba Seishun no Kouki' (or Koki, Kooki) calls in. When Seira asks about the name, Kouki-kun says he's loved the Saraba duo ever since he came to Tokyo, has gone to their shows, and started knowing a lot about the 4th gens since they worked together on Nogizaka Doko E. And he happens to stan Kakki and Seira. About Skits, he watches every episode 5 times, mentions Kawaii Armies and Aruaru de Asobo in particular. (Seira: My only line is 'aru aru' but you watch it 5 times...) He says he's never missed a show since Doko E, pledges to tune in to NogiLocks live every week from now on, reminds both girls to always take care of themselves, ganbatte kudasai.
End
The two have guested in SOL before which aired January this year. Kakki did a surprise reading of a letter from Seira's mother for her turning 20 years old, which also moved her to tears. This time is like returning the favor.
Wholesome ending. Seira says she herself is happy that what she did had
this much effect on Kakki.
K: 愛足りた？
S: 愛が...まだまだ足りひん!
EP2 (210415)
4組の副担任
She might or might not have said this previously but her title/position is 4組の副担任 ('4-gumi no fuku tannin'), something like 'Class 4 Assistant Homeroom Teacher'. The '4' being from Gen 4 and that the show airs the 4th day (1st is Monday). Every episode is treated like a 'jugyou' (lesson). The audience/listeners are 'seito' (students). So this is the 2nd lesson for instance.
Nicknames
Kakki receives a lot of (nick)name suggestions like KakiHaru-sensei, Haru-chan, Haru-sensei. Her nickname is Kakki, from last name Kaki which is what people would usually remember and say more often, so she is happy that she gets a lot of nicknames especially based from her first name Haruka which tends to be forgotten. She says you can call her by any of those and if you have future suggestions, please let her know.
Shima enaga
She talks about the bird shima enaga (picture), after reading a message from a sender with a similar name:
- It is sometimes referred to as 'yuki no yosei' (snow fairy)
- Had a fateful encounter with one (or many) just before entering Nogi
- Probably is native to Hokkaido
- Very easy to draw: just draw three sesame seeds lined up to each other and you have its face. Stick three sesame seeds into an onigiri and it'll look like you've got a shima enaga. She says a lot of people might not understand what she's saying; she advises those who don't to kindly look it up and it'll probably click right away.
Question
Common radio listener question to Nogis: 'How did you start developing a close relationship with the other members upon joining?'
The message specifically comes from someone who is about to enter uni outside of his hometown so he's worried about making friends. Kakki relates by saying she transferred schools before too when she moved from Osaka to Tochigi. Since she spoke Kansai dialect, some would talk to (and bond with) her using it but as she would later find out, not everyone.
In Nogi, 4th gens were the same in that they all came from different parts of Japan, so they bonded during dance lessons for example, talking about their hometowns, stuff they are into, etc. At the end of the day, sometimes you just have to initiate talk, you can't expect a friendship to develop as strong if you keep waiting it out. Mustering courage is key especially when talking to senpais. As she relays this to the listener, rooting for him, 'Yonbanme no Hikari' plays.
End
Kaki ends by announcing that a member might be coming to her class (the aforementioned '4-gumi'). She rings this member up, but it cuts after the 'moshi moshi' response at the other end. She asks listeners to guess whose voice was it; it's not that hard...
EP3 (210422)
Opening
Show starts with the phone call from last week, this time without interruption: Kakki invites Saku to come hang out. Of course Saku says yes. Soon as she hangs up she's already in the studio. When Kakki asks how she could have arrived so fast, Saku insists that the call took place last week. Confusing but funny.
Kakki reveals that all 4th gens that will subsequently appear in the show will be given the 'fuku tannin' title as well. She wasn't able to tell Seira this last time since her visit was unplanned. Nevertheless, Endo is now a fellow assistant homeroom teacher. 😉
Uso/Hontou Game
Games/activities are often held in order for new classmates to be closer and know more about each other. Both girls have experienced this. So they now play the Uso/Hontou Game ('true or false game') also as means of making the students more familiar with them. Rule is to state 3 things about yourself, but 1 of which is untrue - the other person has to guess which one it is. They alternate turns.
#1
Kaki: I spend the day around the house wearing hansode and basketball shorts
Endo: During middle and high school, I liked embroidering as a hobby
#2
Kaki: I was in the unicycle club in elementary
Endo: My height during the opening ceremony to middle school was 149 cm
#3
Kaki: I recently learned how to open a plastic bottle (cap)
Endo: I never smiled even once, until around my first birthday
Kakki tsukkomis Saku's #3 going, 'Are you really saying that?' and makes her repeat it. Says not even raising the corners of her mouth worked. Kaki says Saku must've been kakkoii as a baby with this image of getting pushed around in a stroller having that 'kimegao' look on.
Endo's turn to guess first. She guesses Kakki's #3 to be a lie. The correct answer is...
#1 - 'I spend the day around the house wearing hansode and basketball shorts'
Kakki says for some reason she knew everyone has that image of her, but lately she's been wearing all fluffy clothes. And tucks them all in. Endo shares the same: she's said this in a blog or TV show somewhere before but she tucks her clothes and hands down her pants when she goes to sleep and in fact cannot sleep otherwise. Kakki says she doesn't put her hands in but she will tuck in no matter how big or fluffy the clothing is.
Kakki's turn. She guesses Endo's #2 to be the lie. The correct answer is...
#1 - 'During middle and high school, I liked embroidering as a hobby'
About #2 - She was 'so small'. At elementary, when lining up at school according to height she would be 3th or 4th from the front. Didn't reach 150 upon entering middle school, but along the way she grew about 10 cm. For context, she was at 159 during the auditions and is currently at 164.
About #3 - Her mom was so worried about it. Saku never smiled, always frowned and 'didn't look friendly'. Kakki though says Saku is all 😊 nowadays, so she says to Saku's mom who's hopefully listening that there's nothing to worry about now.
End
They take a selfie together with a cheki (polaroid). To be given away as presents to their students next week.
EP4 (210429)
Opening
Kaki selects 2 from the listeners that have written in for the polaroid pictures. One of whom goes by the name 'Cocoa Nomitai' (I want to drink cocoa), but says in his/her letter that he/she doesn't like cocoa. Kakki goes with this one for 'affinity' reasons: as she's told a lot of times before, though she shares the same name as oysters (kaki), she doesn't really like them. Same with Rika and the 'Rika!' (science) in her self-intro: science is actually the subject she's most uncomfortable with.
Faculty room?
Kakki is summoned to the faculty room by the Class 4 Head Teacher (she's an assistant, remember). She hasn't met him/her yet, so she's nervous. She enters the room to find...
...no one. Complete silence. She laughs it off, likening it to a 'final boss' who is yet to show itself. 👀
Anyway, she heads to the head teacher's desk to find a pile of printouts, remarking that this sensei is not good at tidying up. At the top of the printouts is a sticky note addressed to her. It reads somewhere along the lines of 'To Haruka-sensei, we received a lot of questions from the Class 4 students for you, who they are closer to than me. Kindly answer these. Thank you and please keep up the good work.'
Question time!
About Nogizaka Skits Live
Every member has a designated 'main show-off scene' in character. For her, it was supposed to be as 'Mousou Shoujo Kakki' entering during one of the talk segments/intervals between skits, and the plan was to have the other members in on the 'fantasies' as well. However, since the skit before that (Mayutan wa Aisaretai) ended up taking longer than intended, they basically settled with a scaled down band-aid solution version as was shown in the Live, which just made her seem like a 'yabai Lolita'.
Deep inside this experience hurt her, but she accepts it as a consequence of performing live, and says it made her emotionally stronger. (I could list factors that contributed to this and try to connect the dots, but might make this longer.)
About buzzwords/trendy words (流行りの言葉)
Seimiya, Tsutsui and Yakubo in particular use them - caught in the middle of highschool life, they are susceptible to trendy stuff (which they would then let the other members know about).
Seimiya has this thing of inflecting the end of her words by adding 'だが' (i.e., something something shitetan daga). Kakki is unsure if it's trendy or not, but over the course of Seimiya using it, it unknowingly 'infects' the other members, as once in a while they find themselves using '-daga' too.
Ends with saying these words are kinda tricky, so it's okay not to be acquainted with them that much.
How does Kakki 'refresh'?
She goes to sleep wearing nice-scenting fluffy pajamas. She encourages the person who asked the question to do the same: look for a good-looking pajama, look for a nice-scenting fabric conditioner, buy both, wash, then wear. 😎 Then she tries to justify by saying there are many kinds of fluffy pajamas out there (adds that hers has a bear design).
Few closing words
Kaki ends by saying she now knows where the head teacher's desk is and its 'condition'. She looks forward to returning there and meeting him/her.
EP5 (210506)
Opening
Right off the bat we are with Kaki, Saku and Seira. The 4th gens had another rehearsal this day. Seems like they went hard rehearsing that Seira feels like she's gonna have muscle pain. Sakura says she sweated a lot. Seira asks if she won't get cold (maybe the AC in their room is set to a ridiculously low temp), since catching a cold at this point in time is a no-no. She says 'let's warm up', conveniently referring to their bodies as well as this radio talk session, which impresses the other two.
愛が足りひん
Along with Kakki, Saku and Seira also introduce themselves as 'fuku tannin'.
When Saku guested at the show two episodes ago, Kakki mentioned that all visiting 4th gens are also gonna be given the title 'fuku tannin'. Seira has learned about this, and wonders why when she was on the show, nothing was ever brought up to her...
She thought 'ai ga tarihiiiin...' but of course it's all good now. Haha.
About 27th single
This section is probably mostly 'generic' in terms of idol reactions in/and senbatsu announcements. Here are some that's probably unique for this episode:
- Saku: 'Recently, thoughts of being the center have been rattling around in my mind, not to mention nervousness. I'm sure there's gonna be all sorts of sentiments that come with it that I will come to grips with, but I won't forget to persevere and go about it my way. I will not lose to myself; I will do my best.'
- Seira asks how was it when she first heard of being selected center again. Saku is like, mmm... that's a hard question. It never got an answer. 😁
- Seira: 'To us, we see the situation as a member of the same gen who is faced with pressure we've never thought about. We want to empathize with you, but sometimes we also wonder how we should show our support. We want to help, even just for a little... I always see you working hard...' Kakki says she'll do whatever she can. 😎
- Seira says she wants to 'catch up' with Kakki and Saku who are leading 4ki, and is happy that this single they can work together to make Nogizaka a better group. This is interesting imo, she's skipping the gym trainers and is going straight for the gym leader.
Here, the full version of Gomen Ne Fingers Crossed is played for the first time.
End
After the song, while expressing gratitude, talking about the song, etc., Saku stops mid-comment to say she's nervous. Seira presumes it's due to the realization that people all over the whole country are tuning in, that the song is already 'out there'.
They promote their Music Station appearance the following day (5/7) and the 4th Gen Live the day after (5/8), the latter of which is what they were rehearsing for as mentioned in the beginning.
EP6 (210513)
Mostly about recent 4th Gen Live
Kakki did Ikuchan's solo part when they performed the song 'Dankeschön'. She says she was engrossed by this leading up to the day of the concert and was even practicing it while she was in the tub.
The 'Hashire Bicycle' quiz. The quiz was about Chiba Prefecture, which is where the concert was held. Ayame's team, consisting of Ayame, Yumiki, Runa and Yuna, placed last and they had to do that pedalling thing to power up the stage lights. (Yuna is ironically from Chiba, and pretty much guaranteed to breeze through the quiz beforehand) During the concert rehearsals, the 4th gens actually practiced for this quiz. Kakki's team never lost. Despite this, she says she wanted to try it once just to experience what it was like when their senpais did a similar thing years back.
About Mayu's center song 'Nekojita Chamomile Tea', Mayu has always been 'neko-ppoi', and Kakki always thought of her as a kocha drinker from the beginning, so the song really was perfect for her.
Kakki ends by asking if the SOL principal and vice-principal are 'nekojita' (cat tongue/sensitive to eating or drinking hot stuff). Kakki says she is.
EP7 (210520)
Intro to drawing lesson
The latest single was played for the first time two weeks ago (May 6th) on this program, the episode with Seira and Endo, the one before the back-to-back live performances. Kakki says a lesson was originally intended for that day, but because by nature the three had to promote the song, that lesson is what will now be aired this episode.
The lesson is about drawing. Kakki's drawing prowess is no mystery to Nogi fans at this point.
Dragon Ball
A student says he likes drawing, that he draws Dragon Ball characters whenever there's a blank sheet of paper around. Recently, he has started to branch out from drawing Dragon Ball, into 'nigaoe' (caricature) and animals and such, but he finds drawing human hair difficult. He says that everything ends up looking like Dragon Ball-ish. So he asks Kakki what she takes into account when drawing people.
She says she can relate: Kakki used to love the anime 'Kirarin Revolution', so much that her drawings were so influenced by it and she also found it hard to escape to a different style of drawing. She compliments how he is able to draw Dragon Ball style, which made her wanna ask him to draw 'Kaki Haruka if she were to appear in Dragon Ball'. 😊
As for the pointers he's asking, Kakki says that to find the right 'balance', she recently started doing the correct way of drawing after laying down the 'atari'. Atari are those rough sketches you initially draw before the real thing, for visualization. Usually by pencil.
Here is him in Twitter recognizing his message being read. If you scroll forward from that you will see tweets of his drawing, his drawing being retweeted by the SOL Twitter account, what appears to be a tweet saying his drawing was sent to the studio for Kakki to see (future episode?), and a little later a tweet detailing his future meet-and-greet with Kakki where he got to show her his drawing firsthand. (As of this writing; tweet accessibility may change without prior notice.)
Art club/class
As a student, Kakki didn't join the art club, but did have art class. (She was in the basketball club.)
In the art class, they did 'デッサン' ('dessan' or basically realistic drawing, as opposed to the type of drawing referred to up this point which is manga-type drawings). What Kakki used to draw is her left hand - she looked at her left while drawing it with her right. But their art class sensei specialized in lead accessories and lead objects, and so back then she was able to make her own lead accessory - a ring. She doesn't remember what ring it was exactly, but she used a 'rousoku' (candle) to form the shape, and it took about a year to make.
Kakki likes drawing so much that she confesses a time during class when she would open an all-purpose notebook and hide it under the actual class notebook. Whenever she thinks the sensei isn't looking, she would take this moment to slide the class notebook out and draw on the one waiting beneath. 😁 Although she encourages everyone not to copy this behavior, she says she doesn't like submitting the notebook if she has a drawing she likes in there, so she would draw on small memopads and stuff.
She also says she wasn't good at remembering the katakana names of people in world history, but she could remember kanji names of Japanese historical figures just fine. The name 'Brutus' in particular comes to her immediately. So she would scribble on her notebook what this person would look like to her imagination, also giving it some dialogue/lines. She wonders if these creative bits were probably safe to be seen, maybe, but it sure didn't make class 'suffering'. She tells everyone to scribble in moderation during class, or else you will get scolded! 😠😊
Background music while drawing
Kakki does listen to music while drawing anime. She plays the theme song/soundtrack while drawing that particular anime or anime character.
She plays Nogizaka's song, 'House!', for this student who also said she listens to Nogi songs while drawing.
Only after the she realizes the song is too energetic, and says instead of drawing the student might have ended up doing the song chants while using her drawing pen/pencil as penlights. 😇
End, back to present
Kakki used to draw with her friends but recently she's been drawing by herself, and it's lonely doing so...
(Now back to present, May 20th)
She mentioned this too at the end of the rewind, but if the listeners have a drawing or work of art they wanna show to her, please do. Send to the show's official contact info (Twitter, email). She specifically said don't mind about whether it's good or not.
She again asks the principal and vice-principal if they draw. She says she wants to see their drawings! 👀
EP8 (210527)
Opening
Kakki talks about being in the Type B edition of the latest single, Gomen ne Fingers Crossed. In the cover she is with Ume and Yoda, and she describes herself in it 'looking upwards, really really happy'. 😊
Suddenly, we hear the door open, a piece of paper (letter?) being thrown to the desk, then the door close again. This happened so fast that Kakki didn't see who it was, scaring her a bit. But she reads the letter anyway: (paraphrased)
Thank you for doing another lesson for the Class 4 students today. They sent you a lot of messages regarding the music video of [Gomen ne Fingers Crossed] which I sorted into three categories: 'kuruma' (car), 'settei' (setting), and 'ura banashi' (behind the scenes stories). Please look into them. Thank you very much!
- From Class 4 Head Teacher
Kakki jokes that maybe this head teacher doesn't want to meet her, because he's gone in an instant. 😔 She didn't even hear his footsteps. He probably is swift in his movements... well at least, she got to know something about him. 🙂
Car
Shooting for this music video is the first time Kakki has ever sat behind the wheel/on the driver's seat of an actual car. So naturally she would be unsure what to do, but the director instructed her to 'make a face as if you're driving a really fast car'.
Upon hearing this Kakki says everything went fine, as she got reminded of when she used to play Mario Kart with her little brother. She played as Princess Peach a lot! The principal also referred to her as 'Haruka Hime' (Princess Haruka) recently which made her happy; she took it as if she had become the princess of Shimotsuke-no Kuni (old Tochigi).
Setting
Kakki mostly talks about what's in this site, which details the MV's backstory/setting in depth.
She drives a blue Subaru WRX in the MV, and on her character profile it is written that her father holds the mysterious title 'North Kanto's Fastest Blue (Racer)'. This surprised her because her IRL father also drives a blue Subaru. She never told this to the MV director though.
She personally likes the 'Bikyaku Gundan' (Beautiful Legs Corps), consisting of Seira, Kazumi and Maichun. She says with those black short pants, and black knee-high boots, the director really knows what's up. 😎
She also compliments the visual appearances of the 'Mechanic' duo (Ringo, Shiori), saying the stylist is a 'god'.
Behind the scenes, end
Kakki rode Endo's red convertible too because it was so cool, no roof and all that. You know how inside there's a huge gas cylinder in between the front seats? Shook the hell out of her, as she thought it has to do with the car blowing itself up or self-destruction. But of course she would later find out it's the nitro.
She talks about that scene in the MV where Ringo and Kubo are showing Saku the thing, which is ostensibly activated by a button in the steering wheel. She says yes, it's called the 'nitro engine', in case there's people/fans wondering about it.
She says she wants to try riding a car again someday. She wants to ride the red convertible Endo rode. Then the aforementioned song is played. 🤞
After the song, she ends the program by again promoting the music video and that site earlier. She asks the principal if he's also been driving recently.
EP9 (210603)
About rain
Kakki: 'I have nothing against rain, but... when I was a student I used to ride a bike to school, [and during rainy days] I would wear a raincoat. I hated this one in particular. The rain would come in through the gaps in between the buttons, even though they were all properly buttoned. So the front part of my skirt, my shoes, my textbooks, they would all get wet. And to fall down an irrigation ditch in this state... it's just the worst.'
She remembers a lot of 'this sucks' moments like this when it comes to rain. How about you?
The mysterious tannin once again opens the door, drops a piece of paper in front of Kakki, closes the door and leaves - all before she can turn around to figure out what's going on. 😁👀 She'll have grown used to it by the end of this episode though.
Paper instructs that they have received lots of drawings/artworks as Kakki announced in the show previously, but the catch is: she has to say one 'Gomen ne' moment (something she is sorry for) for every item she wants to see.
3 Gomen ne's
All drawings/artworks can all be seen in SOL's Twitter account.
-
To a favorite T-shirt of hers for getting it stained
- Everything jut went wrong while she was eating a hamburger in a car recently. She says the whole thing just went awry, leaving a mess of ketchup, lettuce, burger fluid, etc. from the right shoulder to left hip/waist area.
- That was the second time she ever wore that T-shirt. And she's only worn it twice.
- The artwork she gets for this is from Atsubo-kun. He was the one who did the Dragon Ball drawings a few episodes ago.
-
To a satsumaimo (baked sweet potato) being left untouched in her
fridge for a month
- She bought it over a month ago and has been left 'abandoned' in the fridge since.
- There's nothing specifically holding her back from eating it, she just doesn't know why she won't. She doesn't know why she bought it either - whether to eat, or just because she wanted it.
- At the time of this episode, that satsumaimo is still chilling on the same spot in her fridge (upper level, right side) waiting to be eaten.
- She says she will ask satsumaimo-lover 3rd gen senpai Yoda 🍓 Yuuki for recommendations on how to serve/prepare it so she can eat it soon.
- The prize drawing for this is of her and her Subaru in Gomen Ne Fingers Crossed MV. Most noteworthy point here is that the drawing even included the plate number, 'KH-0808'. (Her initials and birthday)
-
That Mayu got her hair cut 10~20 centimeters yet it was not the first
thing she recognized
- Kakki loves Mayutan's hair - length, quality, color, everything. She would always notice when Mayu's hair color gets a slight change or when she wears a different perfume. Days later in Mayu's radio show Recommen!, Kakki would expand more on Mayu's 'scent'. Kakki meanwhile says she doesn't wear perfume much and probably has the scent of the soap she uses instead.
- So during this one morning when Mayu asked Kakki 'Guess what's different today!', she answered 'perfume' with certainty. Kakki feels bad not recognizing the hair length change first, so when they were together at work she kept touching/stroking Mayu's hair nonstop.
- Prize drawing for this is of the mysterious tannin. This is a depiction of him after having left instructions in a hurry to Kakki (like he usually does). Also, since the drawing is of a guy and Kakki doesn't comment on it we can 98% assume he is. Though again, Kakki says she's never met him yet. But she's so thankful though that there are this many artworks, even one of the tannin (head teacher).
'Gomen Ne' is played. Afterwards, she ends the show by saying the drawing submissions are still open!
EP10 (210610)
Note
On the 8th, Nogizaka did a whole live TokyoFM NogiFES stretch, in which the last program was School of Locks featuring Kakki, Saku and Seira.
The taping for this Nogizaka Locks! episode took place right after, rather seamlessly, but is to be aired two days later (10th) on its usual Thursday timeslot. All three remained, saying they worked 'overtime'.
Having said that, for now let's assume these all happened in one 'episode' for the sake of flow. This is written after the fact as a recap anyway.
Yakubo's prank
Yakubo calls in as a shaking, passionate Nogi fan named 'Aka-chan' (translates to 'baby') who just entered uni and is finding it difficult to make friends due to the nature of remote/online classes. On top of that she says she has no communication skills, so hopefully by chatting with her beloved Nogizaka idols she can improve on it.
She asks Kakki about a recent Evangelion drawing she did which was amazing, and wonders if she learned how to do it from someone. Kakki says no, it's just she loved drawing since she was little - she started drawing it and it just turned out that way...
Next, Aka-chan tells Seira that she loves Micchan (Yakubo's nickname). Apparently she heard that Micchan took selfies on Seira's phone recently without Seira knowing; she asks if this is true. Seira says yes, about two days ago, and says she will post it (in blog/mobame?) so that Aka-chan will get to see someday.
Lastly, she tells Endo how she loves her relationship with (the real) Yakubo, and asks how Endo feels about this (i.e., how Endo feels about Yakubo in return). Endo says Yakubo always expresses her love to her, which she wants to reciprocate. Hearing this, the real Yakubo voice comes out of Aka-chan and Seira notices the resemblance. Eventually, the three realize that what Aka-chan has been talking about were all too suspiciously personal: Kakki for one got nervous because she actually never published the drawing anywhere before, and Seira asserts that no one would know of any of these unless they are in the 4th gen's LINE group.
After revealing the prank and the usual 'gotcha/how was it' stuff, we also find out later that Yakubo, amazingly, is also on-air on her radio show タイムちゃん (Time-chan) whilst doing this. And that people from both shows were in on the prank the whole time.
Voice-only meet and greet 1
They held a 逆電握手会 ('gyakuden akushukai'), literally a 'handshake event' but the interaction with the fan is thru the phone, as a listener.
One particular fan/caller named 'Kohi-Gyuunyuu' claims to have '50 one-shot gags'. The first couple ones were the 'so unfunny that it's funny' type, but our girls only started laughing until he got to his Nogizaka parodies:
- He sang the last two lines of the 'Gomen ne Fingers Crossed' chorus, but changing 'gomen ne, fingers crossed' to 'taberu ne, frankfurt' (frankfurt sausage).
- In 'Nekojita Chamomile Tea', he replaces 'nekojita' with 'makijita', which means rolling your tongue to go 'rrrrrrr~'. He sings the 'makijita chamomile tea...' bit and tongue rolls the rest of the melody.
Seira says 'Makijita Chamomile Tea' is unforgettable and will probably come to mind everytime she listens to the real song from now on. 🍵😁
Voice-only meet and greet 2
A caller says he wants to confess to a girl he likes, who is also a Nogi fan, and he isn't quite sure how to go about it because it's his first time.
The catch is she'll most likely listen to this once it airs, so Seira says he has to confess beforehand, which unexpectedly puts pressure on him. Again, we're in the 8th but broadcast is the 10th, so he only has the whole of the next day (9th), and pretty much before dusk of the 10th.
Practice is needed of course, so since there's three of them they leave it to the guy to choose who he wants to practice with! (Seriously... 🙄😂) He goes with Seira. It's a straightforward one - the guy says his confession line to which she says yes.
The general advice they give is if you love her just make sure you let her know; at the end of the day, how to express it really won't make that much of a difference. The stuttering though when you don't know what to say or when you're nervous actually makes it better and more natural. 💓
In culmination, Kakki plays 'Kyuushamen', a song that's perfect for the situation. They end by wishing him good luck not only for the confession but for making it happen before the episode airs!
