Tokyo Live 24 Hour - Aiba - snippets and recap [2014.04.09]
Has anyone here caught Aiba's Tokyo Live 24 Hour? It's a lovely show if you're able to understand the dialogue.
I've translated a snippet from the show in which Aiba offers advice to a girl who was dumped by someone she liked.
THIS letter comes from Sumisho-san, aged 23.

THIS letter comes from Sumisho-san, aged 23.
I’m fat and weigh close to 100kg. I thought it would be impossible for me to have a relationship with my current body weight. However, recently I’ve found someone whom I like. He doesn’t mention my weight, and kindly says to me, “You sure can eat!”
For his sake, I frantically underwent a diet for a year and my weight decreased to 45kg. And I took the plunge and confessed my feelings for him. He then said, “I don’t really like fat people…”
So I guess men are bothered by a girl’s past after all, aren’t they? I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions.

Isn’t this man terrible for saying that!?
He sure is.
Let’s give her a call, shall we?
[Aiba dials frantically.]
I mean, she’s now 45kg, right? She lost more than half her weight!
That’s right!
[Sumisho picks up the phone.]
Hello!
Hello! This is Arashi’s Aiba Masaki. Good evening, I’m calling from Tokyo Live 24ji! Sumisho-san, are you tuning in?
Yes, I am!
Isn’t it amazing? Your weight dropped from 100kg to 45kg, right?
That’s right.
Wow! This bothered me a little, when you confessed to him, he said, “I don’t really like fat people…” Is that right?
Yup.
That’s terrible!
He was.
Yeah! That’s a terrible way to put it!
I was really hurt.
After he said that to you, what happened? Did you get upset, or did your weight rebound or something?
I put on around 3kg.
So you’re 48kg now?
Yeah.
That’s amazing! Do you have any options in mind? [Aiba asks that because after presenting the options, the viewers will get to take a vote using the LINE application.]
The first option would be not hide the fact that I used to weigh 100kg from any person I come to like in the future. The second option would be to take the plunge and tell them upfront.
May I tell you my personal opinion?
Okay.
I think people who can successfully diet and exhibit self-control are truly amazing. I kinda respect them. And I’ve been to elementary, middle and high school; there isn’t a single bad person amongst my friends who were chubby. They were able to show kindness to others. For people who harbored some sort of complex, they knew how to be kind. So Sumisho-san, you have that quality, and you’re now slender as well. That makes you invincible!
Seriously! That’s how I feel.
[hesitant tone] …really?
Yeah. You can show kindness to others, and you have a slender figure. I think that’s incredible. Nanana-chan, what do you think?
Honestly, Aiba-kun said some wonderful things. Were you by any chance reading off some cue cards? I thought you were speaking differently.
I WAS NOT!
You had such wonderful words! I thought they came from a cue card.
