Xmas time is coming to Ienomi? Maybe? LETS SEE
-Save The One, Save The All PV in background -
Nishikawa-chan: Oh! It's the PV that didn't make it on time for release!
Nishikawa-chan: The PV director said he can do anything. Turns out he can't! I'm miffed!
Nishikawa-chan: Because of that we worked so hard, but it didn't get done in time.
- After PV -
Nishikawa-chan: Hey! Did you see FNS?
Nishikawa-chan: Time to get started!
(opening screens)
When we see him, he is on the couch as usual~
Takanori: I look like I'm wearing a dress. A maternity dress even 8D
(stretches it out so we can see)
He starts to talk about the prize his CM won, but had a hard time rememnering the name of the award 8D;
Takanori: It's because I'm trash, I just play along doing whatever 8D
He then tells us the female staff of the show are making a complaint of harassment because of all the penis and balls talk on here so he is forced to stop 8D (his tone of voice never changes; he doesn't sound serious at all)
Takanori: Anyway! My tour is restarting in two days! It stopped for Inazuma and the musical, but now it's back, with the shows that got delayed!
(Bird: YES! I WILL BE THERE)
He then takes a moment to remind us about the Xmas live, and how we can watch it online with a "net ticket" that is available to females, too.
The online part will be at 1am on xmas (25:00 xmas eve)
Ticket reservations are on right now during the show!
Takanori: My plan for the men's live is to ignore all the safety rules and do all the dangerous illegal stuff that will get us kicked out forever ^-^
Takanori: The nice thing about nicofarre is how it's all made of LED screens! I just want to know what happens if we destroy it? But we won't! They'll charge us if you guys destroy it, I'm not kidding! 8D
Time for complaints~
Takanori: Maybe I should stop reading these, it seems like there's no end to them.
1. From a fan who got a premium membership JUST for this show, but now feels the need to scold him for having inconstant ending times, and for taking the leftovers home last time. Then it goes into a tirade about the food in question and how he shouldn't be forcing himself to eat it or the fans might fill his boxes with it 8D
Takanori: Sometimes I feel so misunderstood. I ATE IT! You saw me.
2. From yet another weird fetishist, this one a "Mor-er" who is into... Morse Code 8D;; "Please consider incorporating morse code"
Takanori: You know, these responses are the lifeblood of the show! But if I switched to morse code, I'd have to get some staff from the JSDF here with me, and it would slow down our response time so much! THINK about these things!
3. From a middle school student who blames him for possibly failing high school entrance exams soon.
Takanori: You can't blame these things on me! I do so many things to make us all happy! If I'm distracting you too much, stop watching me!
The letter goes on: "If I flunk out and have to work in a cabaret, you better come see me or I'll never watch your show again!"
he encourages all the students watching not to do this, and then asks for more mail, perhaps despite his better judgement 8D
On to today's guests! Berry's Koubou!
He's getting three of the members, two 19 year olds and one 20 year old. One of the girls who was supposed to come canceled at the last minute, apparently.
Questions from the fans now!
1. Which other idols would you like to stuff in an Ezo (???) film?
Takanori: *mimes stuffing* Indeed...
2. Which other members would you like to swing off a cliff?
Takanori: *mimes swinging and laughing* That could be a sport, seeing how far they fly 8D
3. Have you ever used yakiudon as a frisbee?
Takanori: It doesn't have the right kind of firmness, and I'd be quite a surprise to whoever caught it.
4. (he doesn't even read it right away, first insisting that he REALLY isn't as nasty as this show apparently has people convicned he is)
Have you ever brought down a helicopter with your own shit?
Takanori: Seriously! These are teen idols! No dirty talk! Send questions, but not dirty ones!
*DING DONG*
Three girls in bright yellowish green kimonos arrive~
They introduce themselves - Shimizu Saki (20), Kumai Rina (the tall one), and Tokunaga Chinami (19)
Takanori: You sound just like an announcer.
Chinami: That doesn't sound like a compliment.
He tries to elaborate on how its a good thing, but she has no idea what he's even talking about 8D
So yeah. The 20 year old has really JUST turned 10 last month.
And they've been in this group since they were 13.
Takanori: Wow, that's the age where you grow and change fastest. Got any pictures of the early days?
Girls: NOO we were little kids. Don't look.
Rina tells him about how she had her growth spurt at an early age but then never grew again.
The shortest says they cheat with heels to even things out 8D
Takanori: Be careful, or you'll end up like winds, where some members are out of the shot when they stand with the others 8D
They stand up, without heels, to show off their heights.
After a moment of derp, Takanori stands up too.
(Staff: So tiny~)
The shortest of the girls is shorter than him, but the other two aren't, and the tall one looks REALLY tall!
Takanori: I'm fine, really... *sigh*
Now, the presents~
They brought stuff he likes!
It gets mentioned that instead of "leader", their group has a "captain", and its Saki.
He asks about their producer, Tsunku, and they say he's like their dads. Just an old man who worries about their health.
Takanori: So its health? I wondered how he handled so many young girls all the time, so that's it. With health.
Then he offers them drinks - only one of them is old enough for alcohol.
Saki: I tried beer but I don't think it's very goood.
Takanori: What do you like?
Saki: Cassis orange and stuff.
Takanori: Oh, cute drinks.
He teases her about getting wildly drink but she insists that's not the case.
Takanori even fetches the drinks himself from an unusual camera angle! 8D
Takanori: ITS HOT! ITS HOT! HOT!
Hot drinks are hot. Even the orange juice.
When all the drinks are fetched, they kampai~~
Takanori: Do you eat these snacks when you hang out at the hotels on tour?
They say yes, and its surprising because they dont eat berries, even though they're BERRYZ Koubou.
Rina: Actually I hate strawberries.
But Chinami pipes up to say she loves them, to much approval from Strawberry.
So they start in on the weird snacks - fish and stuff like that.
Takanori gives them tips on similar things, like (beef?) tongue, to try with salt and pepper.
*DING DONG*
It's Nanase~
Nanase: Wow, what a colour.
Takanori: They're 19 and 20.
Nanase: You're old enough to be their dad. Really. And what are you eating, it stinks! I should have brought my cat.
She orders a matcha latte, and laughs when noticing that the staff had a beer ready for her XD
Nanase brought XMAS COOKIES!!
Cue the SQUEE CUTE
Kampai again~ Turbo even kampais the camera~
Questions now!
1. What should they call the guests?
Saki: Captain.
Takanori: Well that makes sense.
He explains to Nanase how she's captain instead of leader.
Rina: Kumaicho!
It's a play on her family name and its cute.
Takanori: Do people actually call you that?
Kumaicho: No.
Chinami: Chi!
Chi: My name is Chinami but everybody goes chi, chi all the time.
Takanori: Chichi? (means tits, or nipples)
Chi: No, just Chi.
Takanori: Not chichi? Or that one's just me 8D
2. What to call Nishikawa-chan?
The guests get to guess which of his many many many nicknames to use.
Saki: Nisshii.
Takanori: I HAVE been called that, but rarely.
Nanase: What did people call you in school?
Takanori: Taka, mostly. Sometimes people who didn't know me well tried it, but it was like "Who are you?"
Rina: Taka-chan.
Nanase: Sounds like something your mom would use.
Takanori: Nah I was Nii-chan in t he family.
Chi: I have two ideas. First is Tape-man (tepu-otoko)
Its because of THAT PV where he is wearing essentially duct tape 8D Yeah that one 8D
He protests the nickname and she is sad.
The second idea is: FAKE GUNDAM!
Nanase: Oh that one is great!
Takanori: I can't! I can't use that! Imagine next time I walk into Fuji studios and they announce "FAKE GUNDAM is here!" Or getting presented on a show like that! No way!
He has to pick one of these ... names...
Takanori: NOT Fake-Gundam!
Girls: We're calling you Fake-Gundam!
One of them suggests he needs a haircut, so he jokes that he'll get it in the "gundam horn" hairstyle... YEAH RIGHT
3. When does being an idol feel like hard work?
A. Having to smile all the time.
Takanori: Well sure, it's your smiles that make everyone happy. But it can be hard.
While one of them talks about how it sucks to have to smile all the time, Takanori eats smelly snacks and bothers Nanase 8D
Chi complains about how she has to be careful not to drool while sleeping on trains, but its hard because she's unconscious...
Takanori: Well of course.
Takanori: How do you sleep on the train?
Chi: Very well! I can sleep anywhere!
Takanori: No I mean HOW. Do you curl up, like this?
He demonstrates on the couch.
Nanase: I think that's just you. Cause you're tiny. You have to be tiny to do that on a train. It's size.
They talk some more about travel and the other two complain about Chi being annoying in hotels by jumping on beds and scattering her stuff everywhere XD
Takanori: So you've got the grown up one, the cute one, and the pretty one? You are tying to be pretty?
Girl: I AM pretty.
*silence*
Girl: Sorry.
Nanase comments on the tall one's height and Nanase makes a joke about Takanori needing a GF that tall to make the futon jump (?whatever that means?)
Takanori just pointedly drinks his tea and asks for the camera to go away
Fan questions now!
1. What did you think of Takanori the first time you saw him on TV?
Chi already answered with the tape thing.
Rina mentions "wind, half naked"
This leads into Takanori and Nanase talking about body hair. Apparently they compare, and Nanase is jealous that his bikini wax is always so nice. (...)
Also she steals a drink of his tea.
2. Long winded thing about fights between members.
The girls claim they don't fight anymore, though they do get on each other's nerves.
The point is they are all very different with distinct personalities so they do clash, but they know each other well by know.
Turbo takes the chance to mock Rina in a weird muppet voice. (what.)
Nanase: How do you resolve disputes?
Captain: We have meetings.
Takanori: And then you beat up the one who caused the problem?
Girls: No no! We talk it out, usually before going home.
There's more teasing, and then they decide to go to a song~
Turbo does not let up teasing Rina about her voice XDD
- PV -
So yeah it's a graduation song and they wear these kimonos in the PV.
One of them is actually graduating this year, the youngest one.
(While they're talking, a message appears over the top of the screen saying that there's a special treat for PREMIUM members, so get a premium account like NAU if you don't have one yet)
Its time for the recruitment section~
Turbo describes to the guests how he's trying to recruit hot young men through this show for... you know... promotions...
Nanase: Yes get the YOUNG girls' opinions instead of this old lady. I don't mind, go ahead!
1. From a guy with no talents who is from Yamagata, but wants to work for Shiga XD
Takanori: Wah... well maybe I have a use for him.
The audience gets to vote on whether or not to look, and of course its overwhelmingly "WANNA SEE"
2. From a jock with experience in all sorts of martial arts, who wants to be his bodyguard XDD;
There's another vote, and again its seriously in favour of "WANNA SEE"
(The guy does NOT look 25, imo)
Takanori: I think we need to see your body. If you're talking about your fitness, show us your body!
So that's that for this week~
There's a letter from a fan declaring "FakeGundam-san" as a new nickname 8D;
(Wonder if its trending yet..?)
Next, everybody gets to make their announcements.
The girls talk about their singles and the movie its used in, plus some new year stuff.
Nanase also has pretty much the same stuff as before, with xmas and new year stuff, some of which is online too.
Nanase: By the way I won't be here for the next show, so this is my last one for the year. Next show will be all Takanori, ok?
As for Takanori's stuff, he goes through what we already know about the xmas live, and then an ALL NIGHT NIPPON tribute live on 2/18
(Bird can't go but I would if I could, that sounds fun)
Lastly, we get to rate the show by picking an "MVP" among the girls~
Rina wins!! Captain is last XD;
So that's it for this episode~
Takanori asks about the viewer numbers and gets applause at how high it is!
The end!
*** Special Bonus Experimental Platinum Corner **:
....To the confusion of the viewers, its ... Moonwalker. As in the Michael Jackson movie.
Or at least, that's the filler while we wait for the real bonus. Weird.
Finally we cut back to the experimental broadcast - it's now JUST Takanori in the same room.
Takanori: I have no idea how this is going to work either, but I just want to have fun with the fans, reading the worst mails that couldn't go on the air for the regular audience~
------------------The rest is for Premium Viewers only ;3 -----------
Next one should be on 12/26! MERRY XMAS SOON!
I'll see HIM in Shiga this week :3
