SMAPxSMAP "Five-Men Journey SP" achieved average rating 20.0% in Kanto & 24.8% in Kansai
AWESOME EPISODE and they haven't even showed the whole havoc in Universal Studios Japan - Osaka yet!!!
The show achieved average rating 20.0% in Kanto & 24.8% in Kansai.
Highest rating moment in Kanto was 24.3% during dinner at the hot spring inn.
The crews gave them flight tickets to Osaka and prepared the rental car, but from there... They had to decide who would drive the car, where to have lunch, where to go and where to stay. They had to make reservations and ask for camera-shooting permission, all by themselves.
Tsuyoshi: Shingo, you drive...
Shingo: What? No, I don't want to!
Tsuyoshi: C'mon, just drive!
Shingo: Iyadaa...
Nakai: Okay, I'll drive for now...
LOOOOOOOOVEEEE this youngest brother - eldest brother moment!!!!!!!!*v* Shingo always act mature and independent when he work alone. But when he's with Smap, he always act spoiled like a little brother would ♥ And so nice to see big brother Nakai come to his rescue, and Nakai (papa?) even let Shingo (youngest child?) sleep in the car, it was Takuya (mama?) who scold sleeping-Shingo, lol.
They went to a convenience store, Seven Eleven to buy some drinks and tour guide books. Kimura went by himself. None of the rest of them move away from the car, hahaha you lazy bunch!! Then, papa come to the rescue...
Nakai: Guys! Come on go with him there. We can't let Kimura go alone, kawaisou jyan (poor Kimura)...
Shingo: Goro-chan.... you go!! (hahaha, the spoiled brat!)
Nakai: Goro, go! If it's Kimura, everyone would think you should be the one who accompany him! (papa is taking little brother's side, hahaha)
Then it's time to ask for permission... Kimura called USJ.
Operator: Yes, this is Universal Studios Japan.
Kimura: Hello, this is SMAP's Kimura...
Operator: Ee.. ee-- eto.. uhh, SMAP no Kimura Takuya-san desu ka?
Kimura: Yes...
LOL! I just love how they get nervous hearing that name.
Kimura asked for shooting permission, so the male operator had to change the line to someone with higher position. This time, it's a female's voice...
Operator: Yes, hello.
Kimura: Yes, we'd like to go there and ask permission for shooting with a few cameras...
Operator: May I know who is speaking?
Kimura: This is SMAP...
Operator: As in... idol group... SMAP?
Kimura: Yes, yes....
Nakai: They wouldn't believe it!
LOL!!! It must be hard for those people to believe! haha~ But they should know Takuya's voice^^
This time, they have to decide a place to stay.
Shingo: How about this? Arima Onsen was built 700 years ago, and it was (Toyotomi) Hideyoshi's favorite hot spring.
Tsuyoshi: Let's book that one, let's book that one.
Tsuyoshi seem so persistence about Arima Onsen and they asked for the eldest son to make the reservation.
Operator: This is Arima Onsen.
Goro: Hello, do you have rooms available today?
Operator: How many persons?
Goro: For 5 persons.
Operator: With dinner?
Goro: Yes, with dinner, please.
Operator: Wait a moment, please. I'll check the availability.
(after a minute)
Operator: Hello, we are very sorry, there's only one room available but it fits for 5 persons.
Goro/SMAP: One room!?
Goro: There's really no room left but one?
Operator: Yes, we deeply apologize, it's almost full-booked tonight.
Haha... I don't believe it, just how NICE the coincidence is, for SMAP fans??? LOL!
Nakai: Are we sure we're going to Arima Onsen? That was our first choice, we don't even know where it is, how much is it and what is it like. Shouldn't we look for the others?
Tsuyoshi: No, it's fine! ... it has been built for 700 years and it's also Hideyoshi's favorite hot spring... so it's the right choice.
Kimura: You know what... every onsen in the guide book actually sells with Hideyoshi's name... hora... this place too, "This is Hideyoshi's favorite hot spring"
Tsuyoshi: Eh?
Nakai: So Hideyoshi has so many favorite hot springs here?
hahaha.... this moment was so funny!
They went to have lunch at an okonomiyaki restaurant, they were lucky only a couple of old men there. (hahaha... well, they are ojisan-s too, no wonder) I was surprised to see Shingo and Nakai eating rice from the same bowl, they ate the rice meal set together *v* Heee.... since when did this SataSma combi become such a nakayoshi(chummy) pair like this @_@ It could be my imagination, but didn't they use the same chopsticks too?? *v* And what left me a deep impression, after Shingo ate some rice from the bowl and gave it to Nakai, Nakai asked him "Are you done?" before he finished the whole bowl. Nakai, since when are you so nice to and spoiling Shingoooo *v* (i guess he always had, just that he never show that on TV)
The footage at USJ was not shown last night, it will be aired next week.
They exited USJ with Shingo driving now. They went to the supermarket to buy some underwear, cause they didn't pack anything for this one-night stay. I think they cut out a lot of moments from the supermarket footage. From the supermarket, Shingo asked Tsuyoshi to drive, lol... little brother is so lazy.
The way Tsuyoshi was driving was so funny! I LOL-ed so much!! He went to the wrong line too, lol.
They arrived at Arima Onsen. The SxS crews set the cameras in the room first before SMAP go in.
Then they all went to the hot spring bath, naked !!*v* Oh my... they should show us the WHOLE TAPE, why only when Nakai got out naked? How about when the other 4 went in and out naked??? We need the WHOLE TAPE, I tell you!!!!!!
It was cute that they all talked about their experience in USJ during onsen time^^
They had dinner. I feel so sad for Tsuyoshi, he drank soda while the others drank beer. He said he hasn't been drinking for 4 years. Seriously!? Is that for real? I think it's alright now, Tsuyoshi-kuuuuun.... but oh well, if he's more comfortable that way, I guess its his choice.
And then they went to the game center and took purikura haha, kawaiiii..... next stop is, karaoke.
They ONLY sang SMAP songs haha... they were all in high tension, and Nakai was soooo cute with the alcohol effects, haha...
And the crews added screentext that ALL songs were selected/inserted by Nakai!! Nakai did say it himself, "I made SMAP sing what I want to hear them sing, na" I loooooveee Nakai's choices!!
And then the screentext started counting down... 18 songs left before Nakai cried... 15 songs left.... haha, omoshiroi!!! Actually, Nakai already cried since Sayonara Koibito and another song, I forgot.... but he tried to hold back... and finally, it was BEST FRIEND!!!! He couldn't hold it back anymore and he cried buckets!!! And he was practically sobbing! like "mou damee oreee... dame oree... " omg I kept laughing out loud, and he really cried for a couple of minutes. Then Tsuyoshi cried too! The other three were laughing to see them crying, lol. Nakai cried in such a cute, cute way... really like a kid, haha... must be the alcohol effect, ne. Shingo said "Tsuyopon, you're not even drunk! Why are you crying!".... then Tsuyoshi put on the spiderman mask while singing Best Friend (and perhaps crying inside the mask)
After BEST FRIEND was over and Nakai was still crying, Shingo replayed BEST FRIEND and sing again, omg I LOL-ed.
Then the narrator said "The reason behind Nakai's tears..." and they showed Mori's Goodbye VTR and Inagaki's Back VTR.... then, it's me who CRIED BUCKETS!!!!! Mou dameeee atashiiiii........ T_T Lol, I was laughing and crying at the same time.
After Nakai's tears subsided, still in a sobbing voice, he told Shingo...
Nakai: I can fight 100 people.
Shingo: Huh?
Nakai: Even if there are 10 people attacking at the same time, I can totally protect SMAP now.
Shingo: Even if 10 people attacking, you'll protect SMAP?
Nakai: I'm confident I can totally protect you guys.
Shingo: What's that? Love?
Nakai: Till the end....
Awwwwwww...... Nakai-kun, so you still love SMAP more than anything T_T But why did 100 become 10?? lol, 10 is such a little number! haha~
Then they went to bed.... Kimura immediately go to bed, while Nakai ordered another meal cause he's hungry (from all the crying?), and the other three were still noisy. Nakai said "Kimura is sleeping, let's close this door and dim the lights..." ....but then they were all keep being noisy, and Kimura shouted, "URUSAIIII!!!!!" hahaha....
Before they go to sleep, Shingo said "Let's all wake up together in the morning, and see Tsuyopon off," (Tsuyoshi had to go back to Tokyo early, cause he had IiTomo filming on Friday... the journey filming was on Thursday)
6.00AM
Tsuyoshi woke up... and he tried to wake everybody, "Wake up!! It's morning!!!"
SMAP: .......................
Goro: Turn out the lights, will ya....
Tsuyoshi: Guys! C'mon, you said you're gonna see me off!!! Aren't you guys BEST FRIEND!!??
(they stayed asleep)
THE END.
hahaha~~~
Just think how many Smappies will book THAT ROOM in Arima Onsen after yesterday's SxS?? LOL!
Well, anyway.... I made this report based on my memories only. (I watched it this early morning, and now I'm at the office lol)
