[TV] Himitsu no Arashi-chan

29 January 2009

I have been trying to not talk about Arashi's regular shows because it would make me a very busy person. But this is one of the funniest Arashi-chan in a while, since all they showed was Youtube videos for quite a long time.

This time, they cover tall people. Like, Yao Ming would be dwarfed type of tall people. (to say that he would be dwarfed is an exaggeration. Probably around the same height, but less... active.) Besides the tallest man ever, they have the tallest woman in the States and also the tallest man in England. Or something. Then they have the Chinese Tall People Club. Or something. You know, it is not like I am supposed to understand Japanese. xD

Anyways, two of the club members came for the show. Nino and Sho were waiting for them. xD Nino and his new haircut. I have to say, it was a good haircut. He looks so young.

First, they tried to make a simulation of how tall the men would be amongst people of normal height. So a staff member was walking in a crowd with a long pole and a cardboard attached on top of the pole with a word "face" stuck on it. xD The people behind these shows are absolute geniuses. Nino brought a notebook to take note of the things related to these really tall people. xD The things that he wrote down... xD That will come later.

Then the men appeared, they shook hands. Nino and Sho tried to greet them in Mandarin. I think it was perfectly pronounced. They shook hands and then commented on how big their hands were and how their lifeline would naturally be long... or proportionately elongated with the size of their hands. Or something. Nino's first written note was... "Big hands". xD His second note was "Laughs a lot". Very diligent, Nino. Third note was that the in-charge for microphones needed a step-ladder to put them on.

Later, they measured their heights and naturally they're all above 2 meters but below 2.5 meters. Nino continued his note-making and stated that the uh... scale thingy is rather not precise. They didn't have pointers for centimetres. Nino said that they passerbys were more interested in the tall people than 'Super Idol Arashi'. His words, not mine.

Then they brought the two to the building where they film the show and planned to give other regulars of the show a dokkiri. xD And shocked them, they did. xD The first to go into the room was Aiba and his reaction was hilarious. He went "Whoaaa" on them. xD Aiba requested to use one of them as a vault. xD You have to forgive Aiba, his mind works a bit differently from the rest of us. He gave the man a hug afterwards. When it is Aiba, everything seems a bit more endearing than it actually is. xD

Matsushima was next and she wanted to ride on their shoulders but her request was rejected. Nino wrote that down after a demonstration by Sakuraiba where Sho rode on Aiba's shoulders. xD So Matsushima requested that she be given a "takai takai" by one of them, and apparently, they're not that strong. Nino wrote down that "Giants have no strength" xD

Jun came in next and gave a good reaction as well. xD It was laughable, that reaction. Then one of the tall men was holding a camera. Jun requested that he try on their clothes. xD They commented that he looked like Darth Vader and played Darth Vader's leitmotif. Jun did the Darth Vader signature breathing sound. I'd have gone further and say "Luke... I am your father." xDDD Nakajima came and didn't give any big reaction. Ohno came last and was just a bit shocked and stopped in his steps. His face was funny though. xD

Nino and Sho brought the two to Sugamo, they prayed at a temple for a safe journey. Then to Harajuku, everywhere they went, people were looking curiously, but not at Arashi. xD It must feel refreshing for them. They went to various places including their hotel where they had to join the two beds in order for them to be able to sleep. So Nino made a note saying "Giants do the two-in-one" thing. xD Maybe it is his hair, but Nino looks less evil than usual. xD It must be the hair.

They next day, Sho and Nino brought them to a kaitenzushi place where they ate about 34 plates of the sushi from the conveyer belt. When one of them ate oysters and disliked it, Nino wrote down "Hate oysters". xD But then the other man ate it without problems. xDDD Proves how accurate Nino's notes can be. One of them drank a mug of beer in one gulp, but the other one, named Kou-san drank only a sip. Nino wrote "Kou-san is normal." xDDD Best notes ever.

They went to a normal Japanese house and ate Sukiyaki with the people inside. xD After they ate, one of them complained that he was tired. So they headed back immediately. When they were doing the ending thingie, they looked refreshed again. Nino wrote "When the end is near, they become energetic again". xD Nino added a last note when one of them appear to know a bit of Japanese. "Some Japanese" he wrote. xDDD

This is how Nino is. He reads the atmosphere around him well and knows what to say and when to say it. I am so not that type of person. I am more like... Aiba. I drop things, run into walls (not on purpose) say the wrong things. How I wish I can be more like Nino. xD
