RADIO
6:50-6:55 Arashi Discovery Satoshi Ohno FM Yokohama Today’s topic is sweet potato. I like I like to potato digging. Me, yep. I used to do often potato digging. Then It’s good sweet potato, potato actually soil is brown. And potato is flesh-colorish, so, once you dig you can easily find it. But I think I couldn’t resist it, yep. I used to do most potato digging. (not sweet potatoes) I still want to do it now. I wonder why I like. Now I thought so... After all it must be because my mother likes potatoes. My mother said “is any specialty shop for potatoes?” She researched seriously on the internet. She found one. but he he he. It seems she hasn’t been there yet.
