120310 AnShi Opening Talk (with Toma)
I laughed way too much during today's Arashi ni Shiyagare. It was nice to hear them talk about the past with Toma.
Anyway, the opening talk is subbed.
No "This Week's Aiba" segment today but it was still rather interesting. Their opening talk had some relation to Japan's culture and other stuff, so please refer to the notes below if you are not able to understand the video fully.
Remember the usual rules and enjoy!
Feel free to share the love and laughter, but just direct back to this post. Please DO NOT REPOST the video on other sites like tumblr/facebook/youtube/etc.

I made a spelling mistake there by the way.
Closest, not closet. XDD
Note 1:
In Japan, there are basically two types of uniforms for junior high school boys and high school boys, "Gakuran” or blazer.

And just for the fun of it, here are some pictures of the boys in the uniforms! XD

Note 2:
It is a custom to give/receive the second button of boy’s uniform jacket during graduation ceremonies in Japan.
Although some boys give their buttons to girls they like without being asked, it’s more common for a female junior to ask a senior she likes for his button. If the senior likes her, and/or he does not have other requests he may give the button to her.
And as mentioned by Nino, popular boys often end up handing over other uniform accessories, such as nametags, cuff links, stand collar inserts, and school pins.
Many report that this custom has its roots in World War II. Before young soldiers went to war, they handed their second buttons to their lovers as keepsakes. The soldiers selected the “second” button, because its absence would be less noticeable to commanding officers. It has also been explained that the second button was chosen because it is located close to one’s heart.
Note 3:
Risou no Musuko ~ Perfect Son~ is a drama that is currently airing on NTV, starring Yamada Ryosuke, Nakajima Yuto (both Hey!Say! JUMP) and Fujigaya Taisuke (Kis-My-Ft.2).
Note 4:
Futsal: A variant of association football that is played on a smaller pitch indoors.
Ps: I will be going away for a short holiday over the next few days, so the next part will probably not be up so soon. I am so sorry!
