Last Part
--Do you have any questions to ask each other?
K: Let me see. Now that Satton is one of the oldest among Japanese ladies, what made your body feel tired and heavy the most lately?
S: When I was a junior, no matter how many times I did run through, it was not tiring. But recently it's a little different [laughter]. Only at heart I remain around 16-year old, but these days my body feels exhausted more often, even when I want to practice more.
K: Your stamina in junior years was ridiculous [laughter]. With a drop in stamina, actually your strength is finally at a normal level now, right?
S: You may be right, but it’s a little frustrating that I cannot do run-throughs as much as in the past [laughter].
--I cannot really imagine Miyahara senshu gasping for air. Are you sure?
S: Yes, that’s how it is now. I get dead tired in practice [bitter smile]. In competition though, I have an adrenaline rush and I don’t feel so exhausted as in practice. But compared to when I was a junior skater, my endurance is lower.
--Next, Miyahara senshu, do you have any questions you want to ask Tanaka senshu?
S: What was the most fun thing you did which made you laugh your head off lately?
K: It’s like one of those things you do when you live along. When I watch variety shows on TV, I laugh out loud alone.
S: I can totally relate to that!
K: I don’t feel awkward laughing my head off when I’m alone any more [laughter]. Rather, laughing aloud alone feels so natural these days.
--What kind of TV show do you watch?
K: I simply watch variety shows and manzai (t/n: Japanese traditional stand-up comedy performed by duos).
S: Me, too. I watch Japanese variety shows on YouTube. There are so many TV channels available here that I don’t know what’s going on. So I watch CNN for now.
K: Cool!
--Another thing you two have in common is cooking. What is the best dish you’ve cooked recently?
K: I know Satton cooks high quality dishes.
S: Hehehe [laughter]. Recently, meat stew came out good. I stewed bone-in beef for about 3 - 4 hours adding soy sauce, mirin (sweet rice wine) and honey.
K: Super [laughter]!
S: It was delicious [laughter].
K: Her cooking, too, has a high level of quality.
S: Ahaha [laughter].
K: For me, I guess it is miso soup. It’s the easiest one to cook [laughter]. I only have to cut up and cook vegetables, and add miso when the veggies are done. These days, I add and cook one piece of mochi (rice cake) and enjoy the soup. It’s the easiest dish for me to cook and it’s also filling, so it’s my favorite regular dish these days.
S: Yes, mochi is good!
K: I used to use powdered dashi (bouillon) for broth, but I ran out of it, so I’m only using miso for flavoring. Well, I hope veggies enhance the taste of the soup anyway [laughter].
S: I’m thinking about asking Keiji-kun for his miso soup.
K: In that case, I’ll buy powdered broth ahead of time [laughter].
S: Ahaha [laughter].
