Mistook the recording time: “I’m really embarrassed.
On the 23rd, MBS announcer Atsuko Fujibayashi was late for a recording of the station’s radio program “MBS Young Town Sunday” (10 p.m.), for which she regularly works, and sobbed. She said it was her first tardiness in her 11 years with the company, and repeatedly apologized to the main personality, the great rakugo storyteller Shofukutei Tsurube. The recording was on the 15th, and Fujibayashi, whose only work that day was “Yantan,” mistakenly thought the scheduled 5:30 p.m. start time was 7:30 p.m. He was at home when he was contacted by a staff member. He was at home when he was informed by the program staff. Photo: Fujibayashi, nodding her head and crying in the studio, was late for the start of the program. Less than five minutes into the recording, Tsurubi said, “Hey, something, you shouldn’t come in. If you come in,” he said. Immediately after, he said, “Excuse me. Thank you for your hard work,” came Fujibayashi’s voice. Tsurube said, “No, no, it’s not ‘excuse me. I said, “You can’t come in, we’re broadcasting right now. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Tsurubi said, “What are you doing? I said, ‘You can’t come in here. Who are you? He replied with a tearful sniffle, “My name is Fujibayashi. I’m sorry,” he replied in a tearful voice, sniffling. Tsurubi asked, “What are you sorry for? He explained, “Well, I misunderstood the recording time. What were you doing? Were you drinking? He replied, “I wasn’t drinking. I was really at home hanging the laundry out to dry. Kisho Tei Mando asked, “Naked? He denied it, saying, “No, I wasn’t.” Taguchi Mari replied, “I wasn’t naked. Taguchi Mari laughed and said, “You weren’t naked? Taguchi Mari laughed and said, “You weren’t naked? If you don’t tell me, I won’t let you sit here (in the studio). Fujibayashi repeated, “I really misunderstood the time of the recording. Tsurubei insisted, “Was she or was she not naked? I really was,” she assured him. When she recalled, “I thought, ‘I’ll get out after drying the laundry,'” Tsurubi asked, “How far did you dry the laundry? What and what did you hang out to dry? Later, Fujibayashi again broke into tears, saying, “This is the first time in my life (that I have been late). Taguchi and Mando were surprised. Fujibayashi said, “I often make mistakes at work, so it’s my policy not to be late,” and then added, “I really thought it was 7:30 p.m. (an hour earlier at 6:30 p.m.). （I was supposed to arrive at 6:30 p.m. (an hour earlier), leaving at 6:00 p.m.,” she insisted. After the call from the staff, he jumped into a cab with the clothes he was wearing, claiming, “I can’t believe it. I can’t hide my upset. Taguchi said, “It’s a rush, isn’t it? When I found out. Are you okay? Taguchi was concerned, but he replied, “No, I’m not okay. It’s really embarrassing that it’s been 11 years. Tsurube said, “This is my first time on my show. When Tsurube said, “You’re taking my (show) for granted,” he denied it desperately, saying, “I’m not taking your (show) for granted, really. Tsurube said, “You’ve been underestimated. If the people in the center of the show were afraid, they would never do such a thing.” Fujibayashi responded rudely and unintentionally, “I think that’s true. He said he could not remember turning off the lights at home or locking the balcony, and when he said about the cab ride, “I was scared,” he burst into tears, to which Taguchi and Mando replied, “Don’t cry. Asked the reason for her tears, she replied, “I was frustrated. I’ve never been late before, which was my advantage. I told myself that even if I made a mistake, I would not be tardy only. I told my juniors. I told my juniors, “You, don’t be late. Don’t make excuses. Taguchi and Mando burst out laughing. Taguchi and Mando burst out laughing.
