Kamei: “The other day when I went into my room there were clothes scattered all over the place and the drawers had been left open. Now, you think it was me who did that, don’t you? But you’re wrong. My little sister had left the drawers open after borrowing some clothes from me. So I got furious. As her big sister, I’d have to straighten out my little sister.
So I called my little sister out to the living room. She’d never done this kind of thing before, leaving things all scattered about or leaving my drawers open. Today had been the first time. But see, I was really irritated, so I made her properly sit down in our living room and everything. I told her: “Little sister. It’s fine to borrow your big sister’s clothes, but if you do, make sure you leave everything as neat as you found it and close all the drawers, too.“
She was giving me this face that was like saying “Come on, it was just this one time. Today was literally the first time this has ever happened!” But I assumed that if I properly put my foot down here, if I stood my ground and remained firm, she’d be in tears going “Nnnooo!! I want to keep borrowing your clothes! Please forgive me, big sis…” So I told her: “Little sister! If you can’t do it properly, I won’t let you borrow my clothes anymore!“
You know what my little sister said?! She said “Okay“! There was no scenario in my head where she’d reply with an “okay.” It was completely beyond all my expectations. Thus, I had to change strategies. I was desperately trying to think of a reply to her “okay”, but since nothing good was really popping up, I turned to my mom. “Mom, what do you think about this?“, I asked her.
So my mom just went “huh!?” …Once again I was left in complete shock. Never could I have imagined that I’d hear her answer me with a “huh!?” It was once again completely beyond all my expectations. My mom followed it up with something like “your sister was in the wrong here, too, but I really don’t know if you need to get this angry with her since it was just this one time.” Suddenly it seemed like I was the bad guy here. It got awkward somehow. Since it couldn’t be helped, I said the following.
“Little sister! I’ll let you off the hook on this one for now.” My little sister replied with “okay.” Once more I was left in shock! “Okay” was literally the only word my sister had said that day!
And that was what that particular spring day at the Kamei household looked like. It was one of those days when I could be of no match to my little sister. It was big sister’s defeat. I was astonished. But it was me who was in the right there, wasn’t it? I wasn’t wrong, was I? (Audience at venue remains mostly silent.) Oh, okay. I see. So that’s how it is. Gotcha. So I was the one in the wrong there. I shall keep doing my best as a wonderful big sister.”

ﾉﾉ*＾ｰ＾) If you spend your time just thinking “I want to become happy, I want to become happy…“
You’ll seriously spend the rest of your days just thinking about how you want to become happy.
But if you think “ah, I’m so happy“? You’ll always be happy.

When consulted about wanting to get rid of one’s fickle nature:
Kamei: “There’s no solution here. It’s just a phase for you. That’s all it is. You worrying about it is the only thing that makes it a problem. You just have to accept yourself for what you are right now and live your life according to that. What I’m saying is that one day you’ll find yourself something to do that will help you be able to get rid of your fickle nature.”
“Trying to force yourself to find that something is impossible. The only thing you can do right now is to grow older and let it pass.”

I liked how she’d completely negate what other people were saying with words like “that is completely inaccurate” or “I have no clue what you’re even saying.“

She’d probably immediately forget half the stuff she’d just been saying, but there were so many wise sayings among them.

Kamei: “The way I think about it is, if I find someone who’s ability to concentrate is even worse than that of mine, that actually makes my own ability to concentrate better than I’d originally thought.“

“I was thinking to myself, “ahh, this is not where I belong… I want to go back…” But, I didn’t have a place to go back to. There was no place like that for me at all. So that’s when I thought, “ah, so that means this must be exactly where I belong.” When I realized that, it really broadened my horizons.“

Kamei was a fool, but she was a clever fool. (laughs)
Henkka: Along with the music appreciation threads, Kamei threads are for me by far the most enjoyable and effortless to translate. Don’t you just love idols who seem like genuinely good people?

kamei is extraordinary ; her simple mind can create a big things
i miss her and her ‘Nhohohoho’ Laugh :(
I can still hear that laugh in my head, clear as day. It really was the best, eh? ^_^
Kame was comedy gold
Damn I miss Eri.
It’s hit and miss. But when it hits… it hits deep…
Eririn, I hope you go far in life.
Thanks for this Henkka. I’m probably gonna come back to this page once in a while to just remind myself of her humble words.
You’ve gotta wonder if Kame endured some serious shit to see life in such a way, or was simply blessed with this wisdom all along. I like to imagine it’s the latter lol
I wonder what she’s doing nowadays? I hear she still shows up at H!P concerts from time to time. I hope she’s doing well. Being a fan of a fomer idol is tough when they go off the grid like that.
Eri should write a book. It will be treated as holy scripture and everyone will worship the Turtle Goddess.
Except we already DO worship her as such, hahaha
Now we just need a book…
…I guess one of her photobooks could work for now, no?
~={ALL HAIL KAME-SAMA}=~
Wow, this thread got deep. Some very insightful comments from both Kame and the 2ch posters! I agree, Henkka; this was very enjoyable. I’m glad that you had fun translating it and decided to share with us ^_^
Seeing stuff like this from Kame only further cements the notion in many fans’ minds that her “baka” image was just a ruse. Eri was, without a doubt, a very intelligent girl rooted in reality. She was one heck of an actress, too, to be able to sell herself off as a “fool” so convincingly.
Ahhh sigh~
Like the rest of you, I too really miss Kamei. She’s one of those “legendary” members that will still be talked about fondly for years to come. I’m just glad that I got to enjoy watching that star shine while it lasted.
*runs off to YouTube to watch Eric Kamezou videos*
Haha, greatest idol ever!!!
Who else can go to lecture somebody about doing something wrong yet in the end become the bad guy lol… Her sister was probably thinking to herself “Eri is the biggest slob i know yet shes tryna lecture me about not shutting a drawer” lol..
It must be sign though, after the nonsense of the unpopular opinion thread i watched old Morning DVD’s and shows with Kamei in them before i went to bed and what do i see the next day??? A Kamei Eri thread, ohh Henkka why do u spoil me so much :)
PS watched Alo-Hello 2 again last night, Kamei and Koharu pairing had me crackin up…. “bus come on, bus come on”
Eri = best idol evar!!!
“从*＾ｰ＾）＜ I want to move to some country without any insects.”
eri was a martian because mars dont have no stinkin insects
They say real men don’t cry….
I must be the unmanliest guy in the world right now…
Thanks Henkka for taking so much time and effort to translate these threads. I’m quite certain many fans who frequent this site really appreciate your efforts. I know I’ve said this before, but I will say it once more: this universe doesn’t deserve such a beautiful and awesome person in Henkka!
Henkka is just about the most awesome Finnish guy to have ever existed…now if only he could start giving everybody presents on Christmas Eve…. *whistles* :P
up until this day i’m still waiting for her to comeback. she will always be the best idol ever! oh god why cant she just show up just once?
I have big hunch she already has a boyfriend & don’t want the restrictions of being an idol anymore.
I was trying to write here and express my love to Kamei.
However writing it I realized something, I presented a drawing to my math teacher and she said she likes it very much, however the drawing is very sad, it’s a man screaming in pain, and she said she wants another one that represents good, and I couldn’t think of anything so far that can represent that until now, I realized kamei eri would represent exactly that, the good in the world, the opposite to negativity, the opposite to whatever bad is in this world. And I to defeat my laziness and start drawing kamei eri ^^
And I want to close this by saying that this is not a teenager lover, this is not a primordial love, don’t invoke such things to defile my love for her, my love for her is deep and meaningful, it has nothing to do with hormones and sexuality.
