wow!! that was the funniest thing i've seen for a while! thank you so much for the translations! they're so funny aren't they? by the way..does anyone know where this footage came from? is it from a dvd or something like that? thanks again, and thanks for the post!
He's kept his love for Takarazuka secret for many years and he's worried what they'll think. He wants to know whether he should cover up Tsubasa-san with another poster when his friends come round. Osa suggests putting up a more normal poster like Gackt, at which the audience all laugh. Asa says she absolutely cannot allow it, and Osa agrees. They conclude he shouldn't cover up the posters but should be proud of his love for Takarazuka! Kawai-sou yo ne, kono musuko!
You're right, I had to listen to this about 10 times before I got the gist; Osa keeps making mistakes when reading so its hard to follow what the letter is saying.
Basically, the writer's 16 year-old son loves Takarazuka and has posters of Makoto Tsubasa in his room, but he's embarassed that when his friends come round, they'll think he's weird...
The next writer says that she has two adorable children ages 1 and 4. The problem is that, growing up in a Takarazuka-loving household, they have taken to singing songs from Elisabeth (at which point Osa-san is incredulous that a 1-year-old can sing songs from Elisabeth). But that's not the problem. Then what is? The four-year-old has started going up to shocked strangers and talking to them using lines from the play!
She's afraid they'll want to join Takarazuka when they grow up. Asa-san and Osa-san agree that it's a good thing for the kids to follow their interests. They find the thought of kids singing songs or spouting lines from their plays quite amusing and want to play with the kids.
The next writer says that she was setting her cell phone's background to a picture of Asa-san when a coworker (who she has a crush on) said, "What a handsome guy! Is that your boyfriend?" At this point Asa-san says Osa-san is overacting the part, and asks her to read it once again, naturally.
So the girl, without thinking, responded, "Yes!" The coworker congratulated her. She complains that there is no hope, and she can't confess her feelings to her coworker now. Asa-san and Osa-san agree that there is no hope. "Resolved!"
The second person writes about her brother, a third-year in junior high, who had a girl confess her love to him. He turned her down with the reason, "If she's not as pretty as Osa-san, she's not good enough for me!" The writer asks for Asa-san and Osa-san's thoughts about this.
They seem rather disturbed. What kind of person would say that? "Well, it's true Osa-san is pretty . . ." Asa-san says. Not knowing what kind of opinion to give, Osa-san finally offers: "You're right," and they move on.
The first person complains that she is so happy when she watches Takarazuka that she goes off into a dream world and can't come back to reality. Osa-san says that sounds nice, and she wants to go to a dream world too. Asa-san says that she goes into a dream world whenever she watches Osa-san . . . and then, "Oops, I said too much." They tell the writer to be strong and try to return to reality. "Resolved!"
This is a show where Asa-san and Osa-san give advice to people who have written to them about their problems. It's quite hilarious. My Japanese isn't that great but I'll try to summarize.

The last writer has a 16-year-old son who loves Takarazuka. I don't understand enough of this one to summarize it though, sorry!
