# #23 イントロ再現マンでえっ - Show: えってなってRadio - Published: 2026-10-07 - Canonical: https://podc.club/en/episode/1896013900_6475ae762cda.html - Audio: https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TFM1128322996.mp3 - Source: Edited from a machine transcript of the first 30 minutes of the episode. Not an official summary. A live on-air blunder — Mizunochi (水のっち) confidently reading the phrase "kanshakangeki ame-arashi" only to be immediately corrected that it's actually "kanshakangeki arare" — sets the tone for Episode 23 of Ette Natte Radio (えってなってRadio), a loosely themed chat episode full of karaoke confessions, Barcelona toilet disasters, and a Maltese dog with an identity crisis. Mizunochi also unveils a hidden talent: she can reproduce any song's intro using only her voice, a skill she's been honing at karaoke venues in Nagoya. ## What this episode answers ### What is wrong with "kanshakangeki ame-arashi," and what is the correct phrase? The correct phrase is "kanshakangeki arare" — Mizunochi had been confusing it with the Arashi (嵐) band name and wrote "ame-arashi" in her script, even though someone had corrected her within the past year and she had even Googled it at the time. ### What is Mizunochi's go-to first song at karaoke, and why does she always pick it? Mizunochi always opens with Southern All Stars' "Naminori Johnny" (波乗りジョニー) because she wants to come out of the gate at full energy and ride that high from song one. ### What is the "Intro Reproduction Man" talent, and which songs were demonstrated? It is Mizunochi's ability to reproduce a song's intro using only her voice; on air she performed the intros to Matsuda Seiko's "Aoi Sangosho" (青いサンゴ礁) and the debut single by Sukima Switch, and she invited listeners to send in requests. ### What happened when a listener walked into the wrong toilet at a bar in Barcelona? The toilet doors at a Barcelona bar were marked with a dog holding a twig and an alien instead of standard gender symbols; the listener chose the dog door, found herself in the men's room, immediately turned around, and used the alien door instead. ### What became of the Maltese dog named Posh that belonged to a listener's grandmother? The dog escaped over the garden wall while being kept outdoors; one month later the grandmother returned with a dog she claimed was Posh, but it was clearly a different animal — the replacement Posh lived out a full natural life, while the original may have moved on to a more upscale existence. ## Article ## Seasonal Creep Is Getting Out of Hand Recorded around September, the episode opens with both hosts describing a visit to a neighborhood gift shop where Halloween merchandise and Christmas goods were already sharing shelf space. The same overlap was on display at Flying Tiger, which Ojisan described as "Halloween at the entrance, Christmas in the back." The pair joked that at the rate things are moving, a hundred years from now January will be home to both holidays simultaneously. Mizunochi added a personal wrinkle: as a model she routinely wears winter clothes in summer and summer clothes in winter for shoots, so her sense of seasons is permanently inverted — she simply resets it through everyday life. ## She Still Didn't Know It Was "Arare" Trying to thank listeners for the flood of messages they received, Mizunochi read aloud from her script: "kanshakangeki ame-arashi." Ojisan corrected her on the spot — the phrase is "kanshakangeki arare," meaning hail, not a rain-storm. The embarrassing part: Mizunochi admitted that someone had pointed this out to her within the past year, she had Googled it, confirmed the truth, and still managed to write the wrong version in her broadcast script because she kept conflating the phrase with the name of the band Arashi (嵐). "I genuinely believed it," she said, more than once, as the studio dissolved into laughter. ## Karaoke and the Intro Reproduction Man The conversation drifted to karaoke strategies. Ojisan slots Arashi's "Love So Sweet" somewhere in the middle of his set. Mizunochi, by contrast, leads with Southern All Stars' "Naminori Johnny" every time — a Kuwata Keisuke track she picks specifically because she wants maximum energy from the very first song. From there, Mizunochi revealed a talent that surprised even Ojisan: she is what she calls an "Intro Reproduction Man" (イントロ再現マン), someone who can mimic the intro of a song using only her voice. She demonstrated on the spot with the intro to Matsuda Seiko's (松田聖子) classic "Aoi Sangosho" (青いサンゴ礁), then followed it with the intro to Sukima Switch's debut single. She noted, laughing, that she has been polishing this at karaoke venues around Nagoya, and she called on listeners to send in requests. She also floated the idea of a dedicated "Intro Reproduction Man corner" at a future live recording or event. ## The Barcelona Toilet Incident (Listener Message) A message from radio-name Choko Krotchi (チョコクロッチ), 24, from Tottori, described a visit to a bar (bar) in Barcelona where the toilet doors bore no standard male/female symbols. Instead, one door had a dog holding a twig in its mouth; the other had an alien. With no other clues to go on, the listener picked the dog door — and walked into the men's room. She reversed course immediately and went through the alien door. The hosts debated what logic the bar owner could possibly have used: was the dog meant to be feminine? Was the alien inherently masculine? They concluded that overseas bathrooms with no colour coding, no language, and no recognizable silhouette are genuinely baffling, and agreed that the last resort is to crack the door open and check — what they called the "peeping style" (覗くスタイル). ## Grandma's Maltese, "Posh" (Listener Message) Radio-name Ramen Daisuki (ラーメン大好き), 36, female, from Tokyo, shared a story from about thirty years ago. A Maltese appeared out of nowhere at her grandmother's house and was promptly named Posh — the English word for "elegant" or "upper-class." The dog was kept in the garden unleashed, scaled the wall, and escaped. One month later, the grandmother came home triumphantly with a dog she said was Posh. It was obviously not the same dog. The replacement Posh lived a full life and died of old age. As for the original, the listener signed off with the romantic speculation that the real Posh is probably living a properly posh life somewhere in a wealthy household. Mizunochi connected this to her own childhood, recalling that she too had kept a dog in an outdoor garden. She mentioned that a neighbor in Nagoya had recently told her that leaving dogs outside these days is the kind of thing people call the authorities about — a quiet sign of how much attitudes toward pet-keeping have shifted. ## Snack Break: Ehime's Natsumi Juice The regular "Oyatsu no Jikan" (おやつの時間) segment featured a straight-pressed orange juice made from the "Natsumi" (夏実) variety, produced by Aikobo Co., Ltd. (愛工房株式会社) in Yoshida-cho, Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture. The packaging leans green, making it look more like tea than juice at first glance. Aikobo also produces juices from several other mandarin orange varieties. Ojisan's verdict after a single cautious sip: "It's sour" — and he barely drank any of it. ## Takeaways - "Kanshakangeki arare" (感謝感激あられ) is the correct phrase — Mizunochi had been writing "ame-arashi" in her scripts for over a year despite having already been corrected and having Googled the answer herself. - Mizunochi's self-styled "Intro Reproduction Man" talent — performing song intros entirely with her voice — emerged as a potential live-event segment, with listener requests now open. - A listener's story about a Barcelona bar using a dog and an alien as toilet markers sparked a broader conversation about how disorienting gender-neutral or symbol-only bathroom signage can be abroad.
