Departures
Shonen Club 02/11/2011. All videos are 1024 x 576, all AVI and all are on MF. Yes ! Mediafire is working again for me, finally!! This episode had no HD-rerun until 03/01/2011, that's why I'm posting these cuts that late.
Opening Medley
The Medley starts with "Dreams come true" by Shonen Jump. Kuramoto Kaoru, Sato Shori, Takahashi Rin and Nishimoto Kyohei are performing "Hoshi wo Mezashite" led (literally) by Morimoto Shintaro with Snow Price Gasshoudan in the back. TOY are singing "Graduation", Kis-my-FT2 and Mis Snow Man are taking on "Ambitious Japan". My favourite parts are the last two performances, wich are "Harukana Yakusoku" by Question? with Mis Snow Man (Question? are performing on all parts of this medley, but are only fronting in this one) and "Ashita ni Mukatte" by B.I.Shadow and Hip Hop Jump.
Great Opening, great songs. And I liked the extra spot of attention on Murata Rikito, Matsumura Hokuto and Tanaka Juri at the end, of course.

IntroTalk
Intro-Talk with Koyama Keiichiro and Nakamaru Yuichi, who are presenting Shonen Club for the last time and their successors Arioka Daiki, Takaki Yuya and Nakajima Yuto. Fittingly the episodes theme is "Departure".

Arigato Sekai no Doko ni Itemo
"Arigato Sekai no Doko ni Itemo" (relaxed version) performed by Shonen Jump with Yodogawa Yoshihiro, Igo Akun and Fujiie Kazuyori of Question?
During the song some JaPAnese Hi! members are presenting acrobatics, fan dancing and sword moves (not very spectacular, but I just love boys with swords). Among the acrobats are Hayashi Takuto, the angry young man from the previous episode and his little brother Ren. Very nice performance!!

JUMPing Paradise
Jumping Paradise featuring Daiki, Yuto and Yuya and six JaPAnese Hi! members in wich they take on trying diffrent languages once more. This segment was completley taken over by the multi-lingual Kanazuru Hideki in a highly charming way. As usual he took the chinese part, but also added english and french this time. And even if his english sentence wasn't really perfect, I found his pronunciation quite remarkable, since it lacked the usual japanese accent completley. And since he did it with so much charme, I will readily accomplish his request ("Please be our fans!") !

1 for you
"1 for you" by Admiral Morimoto Shintaro and Hip Hop Jump (+ some of Snow Prince Gasshoudan as backdancers). Very similar to the performance the month before, wich means: Great!! Slightly diffrent choreo and lightning. The song itself is also as good as before. Single-release, please! (Won't happen)

No. 1 friend
"No.1 Friend" is a duet of Fujigaya Taisuke and Kitayama Hiromitsu. Not bad, but not blowing me away, either. At least it was about thousand times better than the Kis-my-Ft2 downer "3D Girl" from the previous episode.

Gekkan KoyaMaru
The last Gekkan KoyaMaru. Featuring Yuto,Yuya and Daiki. Divided into pieces by solo-performances of Nakamaru and Koyama. This is the (shorter) first part before Nakamarus solo.

Nakamaru Solo
Nakamarus solo is a medley of "Shooting star" (with Mis Snow Man backdancing) and "Film" (without any back-ups). Really, really good!

Gekkan KoyaMaru Part II
Second (and longer) part of Gekkan KoyaMaru.

Koyama Solo
Koyamas solo is "Uri Sarang". I don't like songs of that style very much usually, but I have to admit that I like this one , even the lyrics are ranging between silly and petty. But maybe thats the price if you are trying to write Dancepop song lyrics in three languages per line (Korean, japanese, english)...

Kansai Jr.ni Q
On the board: Koja Nairu, Asada Junya, Okazaki Takumi, Kiriyama Akito and Nakama Junta. Plus everybody else interfering, as usual.^^ Notable to me was how high spirited Junya was here. What a huge diffrence to his first appearance in this segment in September last year (wich you can find here ).

Sotsugyou ~ Sayonara wa Ashita no Tame ni
The ending song "Sotsugyou ~ Sayonara wa Ashita no Tame ni" performed by B.I.Shadow (- Hokuto), TOY, Kis-my-Ft2, A.B.C-Z and MSN. Shonen Jump , Koyama and Nakamaru are joining in. At the end Koyama and Nakamaru are giving their final goodbye waves ( from the regular Shonen Club episodes) *sob*

There won't be any new regular Shonen Club episodes in March, the new episodes will start in April with the new hosts Daiki Arioka, Nakajima Yuto and Takaki Yuya (As far as I know this isn't officially confirmed yet, but I'm pretty sure about it. There is also a small opportunity that the new hosts are Hey!Say! JUMP as the whole group, since Yabu Kota announced a "new TV Show " starting around April. But I hope he wasn't talking about Shonen Club, because as much as I like HSJ I don't want Shonen Club to become Hey!Say! JUMP Club. I'm hoping for a completley new Show for them, instead.) There will be some other changes to Shonen Club as well (including a diffrent process for the re-runs), so we can be curious what April will bring.
