we've arrived.
Arrived.
We've arrived at a circuit where I'd like to start this program "Ikoma's Room vol.68. "
Yes. Thank you for joining me
Same as last time, I'm happy to have such a distinguished guest. Now, would you mind saying the title of this program, "PHONET TV," with me?
Ready... Say!
"PHONET TV"
Let's get started.
What a spectacular view! Is that the racing car that you drive usually?
Yes, that one. First of all, now we're at...
Where are we?
We're at FUJI SPEED WAY in Gotenba City, Shizuoka pref. It's a large international circuit where F1 race was taken place, and I also drive here.
Here?
This is called "pit road", usually off-limits to the public.
So, I'm lucky.
Yeah, and racing cars take the road directly to the circuit.
Really?
That's the reason why usually only authorized personnel can enter.
You mean this area is linked to the circuit?
That's right. It' linked directly.
And that is my racing car named KYOSHO JKB 86.
Can I touch it? Can I go touch it?
Go ahead.
Can I sit on?
No, you mustn't.
Can I sit on it?
No, no.
Can I?
Never.
That's awesome! If I were a staff, could I see inside the car or sit on the seat?
Well, this is the scene called "pit walk." During this special occasion, ordinary people can come watch racing cars. Some teams allow you to see details and some don't.
What can I see inside your car?
As for my car...
Is it OK to open the dashboard?
My car is customized with pink color, even meters as well.
I wanna see them!
Seatbelts are all colored with pink, so I'd be happy to let people watch inside.
And can I sit on or not?
I'm afraid it might be impossible because time is limited during the pit road. But you can sit on when exhibition, I believe.
I wanna see... I wanna see inside right now!
I believe you can't RIGHT NOW.
Or can I see from that place?
Let's see... You mean you wanna see inside the radio-control car that's now on sale, the miniature of my racing car, right?
Is the inside of it colored with pink as well?
I'm afraid not.
Sorry, but is it impossible to color the inside of that?
Well, as you expected the inside of the radio-control car is...
Can't help it because it's radio-control car!
Inside it, there are batteries and...
I see, I see. I saw them.
I see, I see. I saw them.
I apologize. I understood. Well, don't you have pictures of the inside of your car?
I don't have anything with me right now, but it's OK to show you if prepared by staffs.
You don't? I wanna see! Please take pictures of the inside some time.
You mean I have to pick them out from my cell phone?
Yes, if you have any.
It's so sudden. So sudden. You know, I have many pictures in my cell phone, so it takes long time to choose.
So many? Can you find anything suitable? It's scared a little. I'd better go home or move to the corner?
Fine, just for you.
Everyone wants to have a look, I guess.
Pictures, OK... But why didn't you tell me in advance?
What!? I know her beauty is just about appearance, not about her...
I can't get what you mean. Let's see...
I heard a rumor of you.
I heard you have an attractive body.
I wonder who spread such a rumor.
I heard you have a nice body. Is that true?
I don't know. Maybe someone knows personally. What are you doing?
I don't know. Maybe someone knows personally. What are you doing?
I've got them. Well...
Since I have time, please say "Good morning " toward this camera.
Good morning.
Wonderful!
Here is...
It's amazing!
The picture of manufacturing process of meters.
Can I take it?
Sure, can you?
So vivid pink, amazing!
At first the meters were removed from the car and customized, then attached to the car. So this one was taken when completion.
Did you design this one?
Yes.
Maybe not, I guess.
It's my design, and this is the logo of our team.
Kawaii!
And here is my name, Nanami Tsukamoto.
I let people watch inside my racing car since these rare meters are equipped.
Awesome! I wonder who came up with such a unique idea to color the inside with pink.
It's me. The components of racing cars can be customized and meters are gathering attention. This car is called "86 ," its meters have various designs, too.
Can I take a look the inside?
You can, later.
Really? I must see!
Don't worry about it.
OK, I'll report it later.
Really? Are you sure to do that?
I'll open the dashboard.
'Cause it's a racing car, not in private use, there's nothing special inside there.
Nothing special.
What type of car do you usually drive for private use?
I drive various types.
I guess right! Various types? Don't you have a light vehicle*? * light vehicle: small car with a cubic capacity of 550 cc. or less
No, I don't. We have racing competitions of light vehicle, though.
I guess your private cars must be imported ones like Benz.
No, no. I prefer Japanese cars because of their high-performance!
Please say "o-mo-te-na-***" like Christel Takigawa. * Omotenashi: a term expressing the spirit of Japanese selfless hospitality. * Christel Takigawa: Japanese-French TV talent known for the word "omotenashi" to appeal to IOC.
It's impossible, since I was asked all of a sudden, don't you think?
Please!
O-mo-te-na-***, omotenashi. It doesn't make sense, and has nothing to do with what we're talking about!
Good job, good job!
Sounds so condescending...
That's Nanami Tsukamoto all over! You do everything I ask.
I won't do everything, OK?
Sorry. Now we've got a question. Is it OK for you to be asked anything that has nothing to do with the race? OK, how about raising your hand, staffs, if you have any questions with her life? Anything's all right, even if the questions about her relations with men!
OMG! OMG, it's like an act of terrorism.
That's true. We attack you with all power of us today! OK, at first, what kind of guy do you like?
My favorite type of guy? I like a guy more masculine and gentle than me.
I see. Is there anyone descent in this room?
I'm not sure.
Huh uh?
Maybe his driving style would tell me his personality.
Really? Do you find it when driving? Do you prefer rough style of driving?
Absolutely not. I'll get off immediately.
Or driving gently...
I'll definitely get off in that case!
OMG!
I'd ask him either to take turns driving with me or to stop the car for me to get off.
