(NOAH) "Donmai! Donmai!" Mitsuharu Misawa's diary, 17th November 2006

17TH NOVEMBER 2006

Cheers! It's been two weeks, long time no see! 

First of all, let's answer Hirayanagi's question first. Well, you don't have a girlfriend (your right hand is in the habit of being a lover).

Well, lets talk about our era for the sake of the distant future...(I don't know if my story will be of any help to you, but) I don't know when theme parks became as popular as they are now, and there wasn't a whole lot of them. That's why I first thought about using cheap clothes to save time. When it comes to first dates, the classic choice is a movie. I am sure that some people think that, "If we were at the movies, we wouldn't be able to do it together". At first, it's nerve-wracking to do anything, so it's a good idea to watch a movie to relieve the tension. Actually, this is a story about teenagers, but I'm already an adult (I mean "adult in terms of age"), so I don't think I'm as excited as I was when I was a teenager...when I was a teenager, I was so nervous when I went on dates. First of all, food. I had no idea what to eat. There were no American restaurants like there are now, and you couldn't go to a ramen shop in a department store, so coffee shops were the norm at the time. Even at coffee shops I got nervous in front of the opposite sex, and she gets all dressed up to eat spaghetti with her boyfriend, she eats a sandwich *Weep*. I hear people saying, "Was Misawa living in an age of such innocence?", but it's true! That era of innocence also happened to me..."So what's going on now"...please don't enquire any further. Back to the topic...dates, huh? As I mentioned earlier, there are so many theme parks now that you won't have any trouble finding a place to go. My recommendation would be a zoo or an aquarium. Amusement parks require a lot of walking, it's not cool if you don't like the thrilling rides, and most of all, it's surprisingly expensive! This is a big problem when you're young. But usually, even on a date, you're definitely thinking about something naughty - when you're drinking at a bar with girls, you always make that "hungry" look. It's true, Even if you don't have a lot of money, you have to look like you have a lot of money. Hirayanagi, I don't know if this was helpful or not, but here is the answer to your question.  

Well, the pre-face has become long, so what kind of business should I start with? Let's start on Wednesday 8th with the recording of "Impersonation Battle CLUB". It's been a while since I last saw Ijiri-chan, Kannazuki-san, Zatatsuchi and the two Asaridono again. The broadcast ended on November 15th (Wednesday), but...Then on Saturday the 11th, I was recording a TV show with Kotaro and Shio. The performers were KAT-TUN'S Nakamaru and Tanaka, Deputy Manager, Sarina Suzuki, Mami Yamase, and Daisuke Shima. Shima-san came to the venue, and I was very happy to hear that Mr. Nakamaru from KAT-TUN had also given me a gift. It seemed like they were watching the midnight broadcast, which made me happy. Thank you to everyone who contacted me (*bowing emoticon*). Kotaro made a good shot, but Shio missed by the way. If it doesn't get cut it will be broadcast, so if you have time, please watch. (Note, if you click here you can see some Gifs from the show from my X account)

On the 14th, there was a lecture at a High School. The MC was an eighteen year old high school student, who asked me to write about this in my diary, so I will touch on it a little. Although it was only a short 30 minutes, I think it was a difficult meeting. Good luck with your University life starting this spring. 

Well, this time I'm just rambling on, so the next question for the diary, is for Ito*. I'm sure the fans are also worried about his absence. He seems to be working hard on his rehabilitation, but what is he doing when everyone at the dojo is out on tour in the countryside? So that's all for now. The November tour starts today. Although I will not be participating in the GHC tag team tournament, I will be challenging Marufuji* for the GHC Heavyweight at the Budokan on October 12th. I don't feel it's time to talk about my enthusiasm for the challenge yet, so please take a look at the tour match report for more information. This is the last tour of the year, so I know it's a busy time, but please come out and cheer for the wrestlers at the venue. See you next week.  

Notes

Ito: Akihito Ito. Noah born whose career spanned 2004 until after Misawa's death in 2010. In 2016 he revealed that he retired due to mental issues. He now works in manufacturing and wholesale. 

Marufuji: Probably the only time Misawa doesn't call him "Fujimaru".
