(NOAH) "Donmai, Donmai" ~ Mitsuharu Misawa's diary (18th May 2007)

Cheers. Misawa is writing this diary, thinking that Navi will have already started by the time this is published. This is a little bit different from a story about wrestling, but the other I did a location shoot and studio recording for "Legal Consultation Office with a Line-up*". Not just me, but also Taue, Ricky*, Yone, Sugiura, Fujimaru*, Ito, Ippei and Taniguchi appeared in the video. Naturally, a video that takes less than ten minutes to broadcast, took 5-6 hours to record, so please look forward to it. By the way, when I appeared in the video before, the famous (or it infamous?) line "President, nice suplex!" was said. This time, something better may be said, so watch and enjoy. The VTR recording took place on May 3rd, but the recording will take place in a different studio on a different day. For more details, please see the latest news article on the site dated May 3rd. Don't miss it.

Now, I would like to answer Ito's question, "Do you like the sea or the pool?" I don't dislike either, but if I had to choose, I would say I prefer the pool. But even though I prefer the pool, my body is still very noticeable. So, although I actually like the slides and attractions at the pool, I try not to go... It's really hard to be active in society* (frown). By the way, I don't hate the sea, but I hate that sticky feeling. Also, I've talked about this in many places, but from my late 20s onwards, I started getting eczema from sunburn, so I try to avoid strong sunlight as much as possible. The ocean is more like swimming in water than swimming in the sea, maybe that's a confusing expression, but nowadays I only go to the ocean to go scuba diving*. But, moving in water, whether it is a pool or the ocean, uses up physical strength, so it's good for rehabilitation. That said, you'll find that you've used up your strength before you know it, so it's best not to push yourself too hard. The ocean is not a particularly safe place, and we're about to enter the summer season for marine sports. Every year there are always water accidents. I hope that people who go to the ocean will gradually increase their strength and enjoy themselves safely. Even so, the food at the Beach Houses* is not particularly impressive, and I'm sorry to say this, but it's a pretty simple menu, so I wonder why it tastes so good. For me, the standard dishes at beach huts are ramen, curry rice, and shaved ice. None of them are particularly special, and they're quite expensive... but they're delicious.

I ended up having a bit of a grumble at the end, but I have a question for next week's guest...Noah's Super Shinsei (there is no deep meaning behind the writing), Ippei. Ippei, I heard you have been into DS lately, so what games would you recommend? 

Anyway, getting back to Navi, I'll be defending my title* in Sapporo for the first time in a while. I won't be able to relax at night in Sapporo, but I'm hoping to enjoy myself after the match is over. I'll be doing my best this time, being careful of my health and injuries, so please support me (grin) This was Misawa. See you all in two weeks.

  

Notes

Legal Consultation Office with a Line-up: Variety show with skits, which Noah appeared a lot on over the years. Misawa somehow managed to behave himself, as he had been pretty much banned from appearing on TV by this point due to his blue sense of humor. I think this one was to do with whether or not you would get compensation after Misawa insulted Taue's dog!

Ricky: Marvin

Fujimaru: Misawa is back to calling him this.

Society: I think as the years went on and Misawa's physical condition changed (he did describe himself in an earlier entry as "a middle aged man with thinning hair and a potbelly"), he probably started to feel more self conscious. 

Scuba diving: Mayumi Misawa recounted in "The Last Bump", how Misawa phoned her up from tour in high dudgeon as she had accidentally stepped on his snorkel and caused it to crack. Misawa said he could have drowned!! Misawa was not the only scuba diver in Noah, as both Kenoh and Daisuke Harada enjoyed it. Kenoh's friends said he was probably a fish in his former life. 

Beach Houses: Does not mean a residential property by the sea, or a little hut to rest in. In Japan, a "Beach House" is a facility or shop built on the seashore. It is a recreational facility for company employees, government officials, school students, and local residents
