Arashi Bangumi Reviews!

Have you guys heard Digitalian? <3 While having the feels of the PV (shake it shake your body!), the making (FINALLY, after all these years), and off course the album, we still have the boys' regular shows, and this Shiyagare is half half fun and not as fun (well, it's not super mundane but oh well, let's just say that last week's better, and probably the guests play a part too). The second segment, the fashion show with 100K JPY budget, is just full of trolling and LOL.
( So, caps away... )

I think this can be considered one of those episode that you should watch. Ayase Haruka + Arashi is always a delight to watch. Lots of trolling, lots of fails, lots of Arashi playing onee, yes yes, it's a very fun episode. Just caps only may not convey how funny some parts are, so you have have have to watch it yourself, especially the second half.

( TONS of caps away... )

Finally, the vinyl house episode is here! I learned a lot from this episode and building one of this is not as difficult as it looks. Now I wish I have a bigger house that can fit all these gardening stuff. Imagine just pluck your veggie and go straight to kitchen to process, that's freshness!

At the rate this project going, which turned out they started this quite sometime ago, we'll have tons of this garden episode or snipets of it for quite some time XD


( Let's build a vinyl house! )

Today is Arashi's 5x15!!! Omedetougozaimasu!!!
Read so many wonderful write up on our wonderful rainbow boys, it warmed up my heart <3

Back on Manabu, I wish Ohno would guest on this segment, he'd be very thrilled and awake. It's not equal to the deep ocean fishing but still, it's fishing XD. The whole segment is really pure entertainment.

( Tsuri away!!! )

Same as last week, but with more Engrish!!! This time the gaijin guests are not as proficient in Japanese as last week's. Hence, more awkward effort to explain etc, for our entertaiment sake. I like last week's topic better than this week's but we still learn new (or not so new) stuff this week as well :).

( Subarashii Japan!! )

What do we have in this episode? Lots of laughter and fun episode, PLUS Aiba-chan's engrish is back! But in here, we get to see Aiba-chan's MC skill, which I appreciate a lot. He puts in the excitement into anything that he talk about that any ordinary information becomes interesting. From the way he phrases his explanations to how he pokes the guests curiosity, they're so easy to understand and digest. And that, requires skills and experience. Not anybody can work with this kind of style, I think it's more like Aiba-chan's style. Overall, very entertaining episode plus it's informative and we have a sequel next week, yey!!!

( Let's learn on what's great about Japan XD )

I watch VSA based on the guests and plus one. And off course when my other fave Johnny's group guesting, I gotta watch.

Some reasons to look forward in VSA:
1. Nino's fashion statement... This starts to slow down lately, the stylist run out of idea or Nino totally refuse to wear them. Only Nino can tell us, but I hope we're blessed with more Nino's fashion in the future.
2. Arashi fails, off course
3. Nino's trolling
4. Some specific moments, which totally depends on who is the guest of the day (this is totally random, unfortunately)

For this episode, I'll just cut to those that I find it entertaining (there are others but it's too long for cap)
But nevertheless... here we go:

So, happy birthday Matsujun! May we're blessed with more fantastic concerts, better drama/movies and you stay healthy and cute/kakkoii as always XD

Not a superb episode, I'm not really sure what the producer's thinking when they do the first segment. The topic is around the 'girly force of dudes' *I don't know what's the exact translation as I couldn't find it in the dictionary. It's something to justify the dudes to act girly without being labeled as Onee aka gay. Maybe this is a generation gap thingy because I don't find it interesting, in fact, even Arashi themselves are not really into the topic and they just went a long with it just like any other job (they're are pro after all).

( First segment... )

On the other hand, the 2nd segment is more interesting to me, and this is thanks to Sho-chan. It's a simple segment of basically Sho-chan and the guest Suzuki Ryota presented their recommendation on where to go for your summer vacation.
Sho-chan clearly showcase places where he actually went before (as we all know it): Ankor wat (Cambodia); St Petersburg (Rusia) and Istanbul (Turkey), while the guest never go to any of the places that he recommended LOL. I think the result is rather staged but nevertheless, it's quite fun to watch.

( Second Segment... )

So, this episode is totally saved by Sho-chan! He's the highlight :)
