[TV] Himitsu no Arashi-chan

11 February 2010

It's the Lunar New Year. AND Valentine's Day. Not that I am doing anything for Valentine's Day. It is kinda like... just another day, today. But I want to look good today.

But I am busy, yet it is the only day that I am free. Contradictory, but trust me, it makes sense. I can't sleep. It's the insomnia. So I got up, put on a peel-off mask, plucked my eyebrows and the underarms (what? I pluck cos it's not thick enough to need to be shaved or waxed. Just a few strands. I like gross details.)

Was watching Project Runway and THIS. Ha ha, one of the most memorable Mannequin Five ever! The last one I remember was the Parka-on-parka. This really hot chick, whose name tells me she's Korean, has the crazy hots for Nino, or specifically, Nino's face. Announced three times that she likes his face. Hilarious, that woman.


MatsuJun was clearly not very pleased because he thought he's the hot one of the group. Well, suck it up, girls like them nerdy now. I get sick of people MatsuJuning all the time.


However, I am sure Nino felt the same level of insult when he wasn't picked by her.

=D This had me gasping for air. Fun episode.

Now I have to go and do some more grooming. What to wear so that my extended family members think that I am a delinquent who gets wasted 24/7? Clearly I am not one cos I won't be into these femmies if I am one. I just want them to stop trying to make small talks because fuck I hate small talks and people pretending to care. And I hate talking about my first working experience with menopausal women.

Guest: Shibata Rie

This episode might be one of the funniest since the show took on the current format. This is a must watch.

It seems that the staff on many of Arashi's TV shows are not pushovers. They practically stalked down Arashi members to do their shows. Even if they're doing something else. Remember both of the 24Hr TVs? Remember Australia?

This is a fun episode about singing people or... people who sing. They showed a lot of sopranos and such. Of course, there are also the weirdoes from shows like... American Idol and the likes. My favourite would be the dude with the strange dance singing that "Dragostea din tei"song. xD That's... xD I could've died suffocating when I was watching that. xD See when you laugh, sometimes, you can hardly breathe...

Of course William Hung is a must-mention. Even if he's like, ancient history. Then there's the crazy Australian-Indian boy named Rama. The first time, he was okay. Rather fun, reminds me of a friend too. I like it when he does Perfume. But this time around, he is getting annoying... I don't know, it might be just me.

Then Arashi had a great idea, that is to do this thing called Beatbox TV or something. They made short clips of them doing various sounds with their mouth and stuff and then join them together, have a few of the clips repeated a couple of times. It was funny the first 3 times I watched it. Verging on hilarious. But... I guess I watched it one too many times today~ My bad.

The staff actually went to Nino's drama scene to make him do that crap, went to Ohno's as well. Then they met Aiba near the place where his stageplay was on. Aiba was the only one who was all excited. With the right words, you can make the man hand over his wallet willingly. That genius also decided that a sneeze was appropriate to be included into the video. xD

My hopes for Shibata Rie to continue her crotch-grabbing performance were to... realized. T_T *Plays her appearance on Shukudai.* Boo HNAC. Boo.



P.S. Is anyone not all excited about "Door to Door"? I mean, like, I've seen Nino in a similar role before. Of course there will be some differences, but yeah... I like that Kato Rosa's in it though. I like Kato Rosa. The fact that there were rumours about Jin and her just makes me go... SHE can do better.

[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
