Hi minna, ikaga deshou ka?:) I'm quite happy today, yesterday was my birthday and I got the day off so I could relax and fully enjoy it:3 Watched lots of movies, had some tasty chocolate chip pancakes, and I got a digital camera as a present!:D This is the first time I've had anything this high-tech when it first comes out, it even takes videos...I've never even touched a camcorder, I feel like I've suddenly leaped forward into reach of first adopter territoryXDD And thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, it really meant a lot to meX3 Hontou ni arigatou:3
I had originally intended to post on my bday, to share the day with everyone, but in the end I got lazyXDD So, it's a day late, but no one leaves empty-handed;P
First is the Shukudai-kun from 07.02.19 (really, this time for sureXDD) with Ogura Yuuko-chan (or Yuukorin...) and the boys in cosplayXD

Sho: Arashi's Homework begins~!
Ogura: This has been bugging me for quite a while you know.
Sho: Yes?
Ogura: Does Arashi go out together during their private time?
Sho: Mm, a while ago Ogu-san and us members were kind of hanging out right?
Nino: Yup.
Sho: After that Aiba-kun was like [Sho-chan Sho-chan let's go drinking! Let's go drinking after this!] (writing)
I was like 'Eh? Should we go?' and he was like 'let's go!~', so we went. After half an hour this guy was like
this~, [I can't do anhymore Sho-chan] (writing), [Can you walk me to the taxi?]. I lent him 1000yen and
went home. (writing)
Aiba: That's right ne. Eh, but Sho-chan didn't have an attitude like 'I don't want to do this' either. When I said
'Hey, let's go drinking Sho-chan' he was like 'Yeah, let's go drinking!' ne! (writing)
Sho: So, let's bring out today's guest, come in!
[writing: Today's guest is Ogura Yuuko-san]
00:59
{The writing asks what happens when you mix XX and YY, Jun and Aiba both wonder what it is they're drinking,
and the announcer sayd that today they'll be mixing two different foods to create a completely different flavor
and surprising combinations will appear one after the other. Furthermore, a grand cosplay festival in the studio
with Yuukorin, don't run away;P Don't ask me how he got on the subject but Sho asks if Yuuko's gotten a little
plumper, and she says yes (O_o) and that though it's been 6 years since she started working she's gained 6kilos
since then. So Sho asks if she's doing a diet and she she says the one that's been successful for her before is
called the Shinagawa diet. It's a diet where you email Shinagawa Shouji-san (Sho laughs and asks if the diet comes
from typing so much;P) Everyday you email him about what foods you ate that day, for breakfast lunch and dinner,
and he emails back and says things like [You don't have enough protein] or [too many carbs].}
1:52
Ogura: He says that kind of thing?
Yuuko: Yes!
Ogura: I've started dieting too, should I try emailing Shinagawa? He definitely wouldn't reply huh. (writing)
Sho: Well then, let's move along to today's first homework!
Ogura: This is an interesting homework ne. Investigate and submit delicious and unusual food combinations. (writing)
2:08
{Yuuko says she mixes foods together, like foie gras and strawberries, Sho asks if it's delicious, she says it
is and so is pork hotpot with pear. She likes to try combining unusual foods. Sho asks if she thinks of them herself and
she says yes}
2:30
Ogura: But ne, I think that kind of homework is dangerous on this show. (writing)
Yuuko: Ah, is that so?
Nino: Ah? hey!
Ogura: Cause there are going to be mixes with strange things in them!
Sho: First, Yuukorin brought along her recommended menu.
Yuuko: yes!
Ogura: Ah, is that right?
Sho: So, first of all we'll start with this.
Yuuko: This is my recommendation.
Nino: Let's mix them and see.
Sho: Here it is!
Jun: What is this?
Yuuko: It's cola and milk. (writing)
Jun: Definitely unpleasant;P
Yuuko: It's delicious!
Jun: This'll definitely be unpleasant.
Yuuko: You become unable to taste the acidity of it.
Nino: Wouldn't it be better to just drink the cola! (writing)
Yuuko: But, but, I've told it's better to drink it with a little protein.
JUn: Ehhh, this'll be unpleasant.
Ogura: But you know, try thinking about it. There are floats for colas right?
Sho: Ah, yes yes.
Ogura:Above cola there is-
Sho: Ogura-san!
Nino: Well, Yuukorin-san's the one who made it and handed it to him, so he'll just drink it.
Ogura: Well, it's not weird. (writing)
Sho: You're kidding!
Ogura; Like I was saying, when you have vanilla ice cream on top of cola, in the end that's the flavour it becomes.
That's the way it tastes.
Sho: This is perfect for mornings. (writing) Well, shall we take a look at this one?
Yuuko: Yes.
Sho: This is also part of your recommended menu ne?
Yuuko: Yes.
Ogura: What is that? (writing)
Yuuko: It's banamayo! (writing)
Jun: Wait wait, what was that, what was that?
Yuuko: It's banana and mayonnaise. (writing)
Ogura: Well, when it comes to this, there are salads with bananas in them huh.
Nino: You're being increbily positive huh! (writing)
Ogura: Because it's Yuukorin;P
Yuuko: Thinking that bananas are fine cause they're healthy I used to eat them everyday, but I ate so many that
I got sick of them so I put mayonnaise on them.
Sho: It seems like you got sick of them unnecessarily though... (writing)
Ogura: Mm. Well. What the heck is this ne. (writing)
Yuuko: It's a curveball. (writing)
Ogura: A curveball ne.
Yuuko: Yes.
Jun: So basically Yuukorin has made a lot of food combinations, but she has yet to take a risk on something.
Sho: I see. So the ideas that were sent it-
Ogura: Let's stop now~
Sho: -from the audience.
4:10
{The announcer says that today they'll introduce some surprising combinations of this and that from the 142
submissions they received.}
4:19
Sho: What was it...?
Yuuko: If you add soy sauce to pudding you get uni. (writing)
Nino/Sho: Ah, that's right, that's right!
Aiba: That's right.
Nino: Ah, that kind of pattern. First is this!
Sho: What?
Jun: What is that?
Ogura: Sweet bean jelly?
Nino: This is sweet bean jelly plus butter, making sweet potato. (writing)
All: Ehhhh?
Jun: Ah, but I get it, I do get it.
Aiba: Even if I don't eat it I under stand! (writing)
Nino: You're kidding.
Jun: That's right huh.
Aiba: Ne?
Nino: They say that the palate-pleasing sweetness and saltiness and a perfect match! (writing)
Aiba: That's cute-seeming.
Yuuko: Here I go. Mmm! It's sweet potato! (writing)
Nino: Hey!
Ogura: Hey! Um, I don't really like sweet potatoes as they are-
Nino: Ah, then it would be better if you moved on to the next one.
Ogura: I'll go to the next one. (writing)
Aiba: You'll wait for the next?;P
Jun: Um ne, this is kind of like bread, like with jam and margarine. (writing)
Ohno: Bread rolls right? The flavour's different.
Ogura: There is jam in it.
5:04
{writing, what kind of flavour does milk + pickled plums have? And everyone is like 'what is this??' Then it
says the big cosplay transformations are next, don't miss them;P}
5:16
Nino: So, the next one! It's this here, tada.
Ogura: Wah...what is this?
Nino: Milk plus pickled plums. (writing)
Aiba: What does this become? Doesn't this make you become sick? (writing)
Ogura: It has to make you sick.
Nino: You take the plums...
Aiba: And mix them together?
Nino: -and mix them together ne. Yuukorin said she'll go right?
Aiba: Ah, is that so.
Yuuko: Ah no no, I hate pickled plums. (writing)
Aiba: There it is again!
Nino: There it is again;P
Aiba: You're lying right?
Yuuko: It's true it's true.
Nino: Really?
Yuuko: Yes.
Nino: Then who would you like to eat it?
Yuuko: Aiba-kun. (writing)
SHo: It's not Ogu-san!
Aiba: It's not Ogu-san.
Ogura: So now you mash them?
Jun: Ahh, how will that-
Ogura: What could it be, what kind of flavour will it become?
Nino: This ne, is a taste. (writing)
Ogura/Yuuko: A taste.
Ogura: Something different from regular milk.
Aiba: Ah, but it smells like milk. (writing)
Jun: What could it be? I can't imagine this at all.
Aiba: Eh? (writing)
Jun: What's up?
Aiba: Eh? (writing) What...
Sho: What?
Ohno: Eh?
Aiba: Eh? What is this?
Jun: Ehh?! (writing)
Aiba: What is this? What is it again?
Jun: What is this?
Aiba: It escapes your tastebuds.
Ogura: What is this? (writing) You try it!
Nino: It's not the texture, it's the taste.
Jun: Ah, what could it be.
Aiba: What was it...
Nino: They say that the taste of this is cheese. (writing)
Jun: Liar!
Aiba: It's not that.
Jun: It's not that.
Aiba: It's not that.
Ogura; Cheese ne...
Ohno: Camembert cheese? (writing)
[writing: You can tell that much?!]
Nino: You can be that sure of your decision?
Aiba: Well, let's just go with camembert.
Nino: Camembert cheese.
Aiba: Camemebert-ish.
Nino: I think we have to open up the next one since Yuukorin didn't eat any. This one is cucumber and ginger ale.
(writing) Which, creates an incredibly luxurious feeling. (writing) In essence.
Yuuko: This one too?
Sho: This has got to be delicious.
Jun: It's ginger ale.
Nino: It's ginger ale and cucumber ne.
Aiba: What does it taste like?
Nino: Yuukorin?
Sho: Oh, there it is!
Nino: There it is!
Yuuko: Cabbage! (writing)
Sho: Seriously??
[writing: Luxurious?]
Nino: Let's just - let's just stop there, it can't be cabbage right.
Yuuko: It's true! It tasted like cabbage!
Nino: The value of your taste is going down. Like a rock;P Before it was shooting up.
Ogura: Cucumber and...
Jun: When you mix cucumber's distinct taste...
Nino: That softness ne.
Jun: with ginger ale...
Ogura: Watermelon? (writing)
Nino: Close~.
Aiba/Sho: Close?
Ogura: What? Something higher quality? Melon?
Nino: That's right!
[writing: cucumber and gin ger ale = melon]
Ogura: It's melon, melon!
Sho: Matsumoto-kun, it's unfortunate but, with the cumcumber it's supposed to taste like melom-
Aiba: Sorry, sorry!
Nio: this is the next one, tada! What is this?
Yuuko: What is this?
Jun: Cheese and dressing?
Nino: Cream cheese and Japanese-style dressing... (writing)
Ogura: I ne, I get this. Because I get it I won't say.
Nino: Eh?
Ogura: I know something close to this at any rate.
Aiba: Does this become high-level?
Ogura: Probably high-level. (writing)
Nino: Well at any rate, let's dig in.
Sho: Tuna?
Ohno: Avocado! (writing)
Nino: Hey you, I said eat it! (writing)
Ogura: But even this doesn't have a weird flavour.
Aiba: It looks tasty ne.
Nino: That's right, with this ne.
Jun: Well ne, that's right ne.
Yuuko: Mm, I think I understand something. (writing)
Nino: You got it?
Yuuko: Yes.
Ogura: Doesn't it have the flavour of something high-level?
Yuuko: Is it high-level...? You can buy one for under 2300yen. (writing)
[writing: That's high-level?!]
Nino: Eh? Sorry to be rude but, could you just say it?
Yuuko: Avocado! (writing)
[writing: Already been said]
Aiba: That was said earlier;P
Nino: Ah, so it was avocado, but it's not avocado ne. The one that was sent to us.
Aiba: Ehh? What?
Jun: Hm? What is this?
Ogura: Ah ne, just one hint: you eat this by putting wasabi and soy sauce on it. It's monkfish liver.
Sho: Ehh?? Ehhh??
Ogura: It really is the flavour of monkfish liver.
Jun: Ahhh! I get it.
Ogura: You get it right? Just, I get the feeling he doesn't know the real thing.
Jun: But somehow that kind of compound-
Ogura: Don't drink the dressing! (writing)
Aiba: I don't get it at all. Not at all. (writing)
Sho: What is this?
Ogura: It has a connection with chicken right? (writing)
Nino: The correct answer is...-
Nino/Ogura: Foie gras.
Aiba: It was foie gras...
Nino: Can you grasp it?
ShO; I can grasp it.
Nino: Okay! Next is this!
[writing: Mysterious black stuff and strawberries]
Ogura: WEhat is this??
Yuuko: What's on it?
Ogura: What did they put on this??
Aiba; Is this chocolate?
Nino: If that's what you think then why don't you try some, Aiba-san.
Ogura: I get it!
Nino: Aiba-san-
Ogura: This is completely different! (writing)
Jun: Could it be salty-
Ogura: This is a Japanese breakfast. (writing)
Jun: Is that it?
Nino: That's strawberries and soy-sauce-boiled nori. (writing)
Ogura: That's right, this is a Japanese breakfast.
Aiba: Ah, squishy. (writing)
Nino: Yes, taste it, taste it.
Ogura: Hang on, I'm interested in this. (writing)
Sho: That's rare for you Ogu-san.
Nino: His tension went up.
Aiba: Eh, what is this?
Nino: Uwa, his tension just dropped an icnredible amount. (writing)
Ogura: What is it? Tomato? Isn't it kind of tomato-ish?
Aiba: Tomato!
Ogura: Is that wrong?
Aiba: Tiny, tiny tomato! (writing)
Ogura: I guess it's wrong.
Nino: Tiny tiny tomato?
Aiba: Tiny tomato.
Jun: Just 'tiny' right.
Sho: It's coming right now. It's coming from here. The correct answer is-
Ohno: It's tomato. (writing)
Nino: You're wrong!
Aiba: It's tomato!
Ohno: This is tomato!
Nino: It's kiwi, kiwi.
Ogura: Kiwi...
Nino: They say that it comes out as kiwi.
Ogura: It's tomato isn't it?
AibA; it's tomato!
Ogura: Tomato.
Aiba: It's definitely tomato.
Ogura: This was given to us by the audience? (writing)
Nino: That's right ne.
Ogura: Tell them to correct it! (writing)
Nino: Understood.
10:23
{Now it's time for the image homework, 'What did you do last night?', and Ogura comments that it's the same every
week;P Sho explains that it's a segment where they find out how the audience views Yuukorin. The first one isher
playing cosplay by herself, pretty self-explanatory. The next one is her writing about how the snow is pink and
everything turns into candy, and she closes the book and it says planning notebook, it turns out to be her writing
plans for her planet 'planet Korin' (yes, she's a spacecadet;P) Then Sho decides to play along and asks where Yuukorin
came from and she says 'planet korin'. Sho asks what kind of place it is and she says that everything in it is all
white and made of candy (.....)}
11:42
Aiba: Where is planet korin?
Yuuko: Planet korin? It's-
Aiba: Chiba? Chiba? (writing)
Yuuko: Wrong, wrong;P Today it's about 20 minutes from here. (writing)
Sho: Um, excuse me but, what do you do for fun on planet korin?
Yuuko: There's something called korin janken. (writing)
Sho: Ehh?
Ogura: What is that?
Jun: What- what does that mean?
Yuuko: You go 'korin janken~' then you go either 'boing', 'meow', or 'woof'. Like 'meow' or 'woof'. ANd if you both
do the same thing you lose.
Sho: Then why don't you have an Ogu-match. (writing)
Ogura: Why is it me?
Yuuko: Yes.
Ogura: What is it? 'boing' is?
Nino: What was 'boing' again?
Yuuko: 'boing' or 'meow' or 'woof'.
Ogura: Or 'woof'.
[writing: Almost his 60th birthday]
Aiba: What was the part at the beginning again? Let's start from the beginning.
Yuuko: Korin~ Janken.
Aiba: Ogu-san, memorize this. This, this.
Jun: Korin~ janken;P
Yuuko: Korin~ janken, janken, janken.
Ogura: Hop. (writing)
Aiba: Alright, it'll work.
Nino: You lost there ne, be careful Ogu-san.
Aiba: That's right isn't it.
Yuuko: Wrong, if Yuuko matches him he loses. (writing)
Nino: Excuse me? So which is the leader?
Sho: There's an order to it right?
Ogura: The one who says it is the leader.
Yuuko: That's right, that's right.
Ogura: That's it right.
Yuuko: Ready, and-
Yuuko/Ogura: Korin~ janken, janken-
Yuuko: Woof.
Ogura: Hop.
Aiba: Next is Ogu-san, Ogu-san! (writing) Do the next one Ogu-san!
Jun: Do it!
Nino: Go first, go first. Korin~
Yuuko: Korin~
Yuuko/Ogura: -janken janken-
Yuuko: Meow.
Ogura: Woof.
Aiba: Keep trying! Keep trying! (writing)
Yuuko: Korin~ janken janken, boing!
Sho: What is this??
Jun: What is this?;P What's with these hands?
Aiba: They're totally lascivious.
Ogura: Isn't that the more adult one?;P
13:12
{Sho says they have some video, that she likes to do cosplay in her private life, Yuuko says although she doesn't
do it in her private life, but in her pin-up work she likes dressing up. Sho asks what her favorite look is and
she says, of course, the maid outfit. So now Sho says that they're going to have a cosplay exhibition with Yuuko-nsa,
cue the Sailor Moon musicXDD Plus it will also be a photoshoot session for Ogura-san. They have a number of outfits
prepared, among them the ever-popular sailor uniform, china dress, delinquent youth clothing, maid outfit, nurse,
kindergarten kid, MatsuKen style, and Princely clothing. Nino suggest that the maid outfit would be good for
Yuukorin and they all agree, and she asks if she can pick first. Jun says there's two of tehm, so she chooses the
brown one. Jun chooses the kidnergarten outfit for Sho and Aiba says it looks like it would suit him really well;P
First Nino picks out the prince outfit for Jun, which Jun seems okay with, but then he reaches for the MatsuKen
outfit and says he can't decide, but Jun wrenches the prince one away and says that;s not true;P At which point
Ogura suggests that the China dress would suit him tooXD Jun says it's impossible, he can't get into it;P Nino
tries it on on and Aiba comments that he's the one who looks most like he can get into it, and Nino acknowledges
that he can. Nino asks if Aiba-san's chosen yet and picks out teh camoflage outfit for him, which Aiba says
is too normal, it's the most normal out of all of them;P But now matter how much he protests Nino and Jun insist
so he's forced to take it. Now Ogura says that the sailor outfit would suit Ohno, so Nino says that if he can get
into it he'll wear that one. Sho says 'let's all go change!' and Nino drags Aiba off though he's protesting that
he won't be be able to get into it;P}
14:57
Nino: Yes! Here we go~. (writing)
Jun: Yes.
Ogura: What kind of show is this? (writing) Well, it seems that they finished changing, let's start with Yuukorin!
Come on in! Cute~!
[writing: Moe~!]
Yuukorin: Thank you very much!
Ogura: You don't really have to come any closer.
Yuukorin: Like this?
Ogura: Cute~!
Audience: Cute~!
Ogura: This is good huh.
Yuuko: Thank you.
Ogura: So next, Nino.
[writing: Huh?]
Yuuko: Huh, he's late? (writing)
Ogura: That's great huh, Nino. Yes, come over here. Okay, Sho-kun! Sakurai-kun! (cue Azumanga Daioh music) Ready
ready.
Yuuko: Cute~.
Ogura: Cute.
Yuuko: Cute~.
Ogura: Well then, MatsuJun. (cue Rose of Versailles music)



(Enter my prince! KakkoiiXDD)Yuuko: Cool~.
Ogura: This is unfair huh. Being the only one who's cool. (writing)
Yuuko: Cute;P
Jun: This isn't cool!
Ogura: It's cool~!
Jun: It's not cool.
Ogura: It's cool isn't it~. But this part here kind of reminds me of a diaper. (writing)



Nino: That's right ne.
Ogura: Ohno-kun.
Nino: That's normal! Normal! The shoes have started looking like the shoes of a brawler. (writing)
Ogura: Yes. The last one is this guy. Come on in! The last one is this guy.
Sho: Normal! (writing)
Nino: That's right ne.
Sho: It's not interesting at all! (writing)
Yuuko: Amazing!
Sho: It's not interesting at all.
Nino: I thought it would be a lot more interesting.
Aiba: I told you it would be normal! (writing) Right! I told you it would be normal! Didn't I say that!
Jun: That's right, it's normal.
Ogura: All right, a commemorative photo, a commemortative photo!
Aiba: I don't want to anymore! I'm so normal. I wanted to wear an outfit with more punch too! (writing)
Sho: Normal~. Hey wait a sec, where's the Chinese mom. Mother;P There's people with this kind of hair too huh.
Nino: That's right ne.
Ogura: Okay.
Sho: It suits us after all ne.
Jun: It suits us.
Ogura: It suits you.
Yuuko: Everyone's having fun with how much it suits them but it's kind of disappointing for Aiba-san ne. (writing)
Aiba: You know ne? When we were choosing them ne, I didn't know if I could say I wouldn't wear it, of that was
taboo in the cosplay world or something. (writing)
Sho: But you know, Nino is surprisingly...
Ogura: Surprisingly huh.
Sho: Is it okay if we take a look at the view from behind? There are people with this kind of hairstyle too right?
Really. (writing)
[writing: A nicely tucked in auntie]
Sho: There are mother's like this ne.
Ogura: There are ne.
Nino: But hey, that person with the sailor uniform...
Ogura: You've got some pretty muscular legs huh. (writing)
Nino: Everyone, compliment his cosplay! (writing)
Aiba: That's an embarassing conversation.
18:36
{Sho tells her that now they would like her to reveal a side of herself the audience doesn't know, and she says she likes
alcohol. She says at first she couldn't drink it but lately she's become able to drink a glass of wine. Sho asks
if it's by herself, and she says yes, sometimes even about 2 glasses. He asks what her favorite alcohol is and she
says champagne. SO he says that since she's there why don't they have a toast.}
19:03
Yuuko: Yes. Here you go, master! (writing)
[writing: Maid-play]
Ogura: Cheers.
Yuuko: CHeers.
Sho: What kind of pub is this? (writing)
Ogura: It seems like a huge bill's going to come when we're ready to go home huh. (writing)
Nino: It's fine.
Ogura: It's great ne, cosplay. (writing)
Jun: Yeah, it was fun.
Sho: It was super super fun.
Jun: It's been a long time since we wore stuff like this. It was fun ne?
Aiba: Yeah, this outfit...it seems like if I work at it I could wear it... (writing)
Nino: I want to wear again ne! (writing; deliberately faking a foreign accent;P)
19:36
{Next an experiemt with filtration, which liquid will go through the fastest? Sho announces the 'homework for
Arashi' segment, and it's Aiba's turn to take charge. The request is from Big Pap-san in Saitama-ken, who says
that when he was in elementary school they did experiments with filtration, but when he thought about it what was
the fastest filtering liquid out of the ones that can be found right near you? Please investigate. So Aiba brings
out his specially made filtering machine. On the far left is a sports drink (looks like pocari sweat;P), next is
vodka, then vinegar, then milk, and soapy water. He asks everyone to make their predictions; Yuuko says she
thinks it will be the heaviest one, so she goes with the milk. Sho asks if that's really the heaviest;P Ogura,
of course, goes with the alcohol, so he picks the vodka. Aiba asks why he thinks it's the vodka and Ogura just
says he picked it at randomXD Aiba says that's too crude but Ogura says he has no idea;P Jun picks the vodka
as well because he gets the feeling it's already been filtered. Aiba says who knows, they'll have to look forward
to seeing it, Ogura says that perhaps like Yuuko said weight will have something to do with it. Sho picks the
sports drink and Jun agrees it seems like it would be pretty fast. Sho says because it's supposed to osmose, Jun
says like osmosing into your body huh, and tehy all agree that's a nice idea. Finally Nino picks the vinegar,
Ohno picks the soapy water and Aiba also goes with teh sports drink. Aiba brings them out and explains that like
this they can pour them all at once, Sho says it seems difficult and when they do it the milk spills everywhere;P
Ogura says it's a failure because if the milk spilled that much it has no chance of winning, but they go on.
Jun says the sports drink is fast and Ogura wonders if there really is a connection with it's properties of osmosis.
Ohno and Yuuko agree that the vinegar's also fast, Nino cheers it on;P Ogura tells Yuuko the milk's done for, and
she agrees that it's slow. He says that even though it spilled that much it's still no good. It appears the sports
drink is slowing down but Sho says the vinegar seems to be coming to the end too, it's a fairly good duel and...
then the vinegar stops, making it the winner;P Ogura asks Nino why he picked the vinegar, and he says it seemed
like the one that was best for your bodyO_o Jun wonders why it won and the announcer explains that the liquid
with the lowest viscosity is the fastest, and the ones with the most foreign matter have more viscosity and are
therefore slower. Since Vinegar is only 5% acetic acid it's the closest to water so it's probability of going
fastest is high. For the sports drink teh encorporated minerals act to reduce the viscosity, making it faster;
since alcohol is even less viscous than water it's also fast.}
22:40
Aiba: Which means, the experiment's result! (writing)
Sho: Aiba! (writing)
Aiba: That was fun ne~! (writing)
Sho: Yayy~! (writing)
Ohno: Sho-kun, you're always so excellent ne. (writing)
22:50
{After this Arashi displays a splendid dance step. The week's honours student was Taeko-san from Chiba-ken who
submitted the 'what did you do last night?' where Yuuko writes about her home planet. Next the show is asking
for info on unusual gyoza and/or ramen, as well as 'what did you do last night?' image homework for Fukada Kyoko
and Morisanchuu.}
23:23
Yuuko/Jun: Korin~ janken janken-
Yuuko: Woof!
Jun: Meow! (<3)

Kya, I wanted to see more of Jun playing korin jankenX3 And seriously...in the camoflage outfit, or the nurse outfit, or even the Chinese dress...the prince outfit was too cute, but I think he'd be adorable in a nurse outfit *evil grin*XDD
Is it just me or is Yuukorin nuts?;P A planet made of candy? Yes...^^; I guess it's 'cutesy', but really, some of these people are missing the filter (the one that screens out what you can and can't say in social situations;P) Nino in the dressO_o He looked way to good, and pretty comfortable tooXDD And Sho's right, from behind you'd have no idea he was a boy;P Ohno in the sailor outfit was cute too, but the hairy legsXDD And poor Aiba...they should have let him try again..:S

Plus, three articles today:) They're kind of short, so I thought I'd bump up the quantity:3 Let's see, there's April Potato, Myojo, and Wink-up...=)

Credits to Mori's pdbox for all the gorgeous scans!:D I swear I didn't do it on purpose, but they each have to do with a different area of his life...interesting=) First is the the Potato snippet:



Young Labourer Katsumada Yuuji played by Matsumoto Jun

It's a work that conveys warmth and bittersweetness

The member's scenes were all interesting (laughs). Nino's manga-ka, Aiba-chan's singing scene, and everything else,
although I knew about them from the script I had no idea they'd come out like this so they all made me laugh ne.
The scene where Yuuji meets the other 4, everyone is drunk as always. In terms of the story, although the image
of the 4 of them pursuing their dreams is the main motif, I want the fact to be understood that in actuality in that
era there were an overwhelmingly large number of eagerly working youths (like Yuuji) who came from other localities.
With Yuuji's dialect, well, with just paying attention to the intonation it's not that much trouble. In terms
of the work itself "this is warm" is what I felt. It's not like I lived in that era but for some reason I sighed
warmly. That plus there was bittersweetness ne.

Mm, watching the trailer gave me an idea of what he meant by warmth, it's very nostalgic and soft, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the storyline unfolds:)

Next, Myojo:



[Hana yori Dango 2] is receiving support from various generations, from children to adults, and if you add in the
first season it has an extremely favorable reputation...
[When we're shooting we often get people like little kids or salarymen who call out to us. Like, "Ah! [HanaDan]!"
(laughs). With such an unskilled creation, 'unbelievable' in a certain sense, I guess they've conversely accepted
the nonsensicality of it. Only, although of course we're happy when it comes to the audience and popularity, it's
not like the people working on the sets have only that goal in mind. What can be said is that at that time we
are serving the best we can. That and the fact that gathering together as this team and doing it again is extremely
fun. If I were tot alk about the connection between me and my co-stars, it's not like we've been completely apart
the whole year since last season, I went to see Shun's play, Shun and Mao-chan came to see my play and live
performances... So this time is in addition the link we had. When we try getting together the conversation changes,
as you would think we feel the flow of time that we spent with each other ne. Especially with Shun, I'm really
becoming able to talk about may different things with him.]
This is kind of sudden but, if you were a girl, who would you wnat to choosee from the F4?
[I'd want keep swapping one for the other (laughs). I guess the best of all would be to go back and forth between
Tsukasa and Rui. I'd like to try swaying (from one to the other) (laughs).]
What are your predictions and expectations for the last episode?
[It's an enigma even for me (laughs). Of course I have a lot of things that I'm anticipating, but I'd like to challenge
myself not to say them. In this season there's also the fact that original stories that weren't in the original
work are included, I think that we can't drag it out too much and although I haven't reread much of it, upon seeing
it once in a while, as you would think it's interesting. When it comes to the tankoubons, reading after book 20
makes me tearful... When I look at it from Doumyouji Tsukasa's point of view I'm overcome with emotion ne. Heading
into the last episode the shapes of various loves will be markedly sketched out, so it would be nice if the people
watching it would think "Ah, love's interesting". More than that, I always want adults to think "this emotion's
so nostalgic".]
That's the kind of love it is this time, but someone they've gotten pulled into a love rectangle... What are the
parts that you can sympathize with?
[Although I don't know anything about this specifically, at this point in time I don't have any experience with
things like love triangles or fighting scenes (laughs). I definitely haven't just turned aside and hung up on a girl
who called me (laughs). When it comes to a friend's girlfriend, although there have been times when I've thought
things like "she's cute" or "how nice" or "she's a great girl", it doesn't grow into love. Because by that point
I can only see her as "my friend's girlfriend".]
Finally, a cheer for Tsukushi-chan!
[I as an individual want Tuskushi to be happy! But whether or not it will be a happy ending...that I don't know
either...(laughs).]
-And at that very moment, upon catching sight of MatsuJun doing the interview as she passes by, Mao-chan teases him
saying [Ah, you're doing work~ (laughs)], to which he replies without a moment's delay [I've got no time for the likes
of you!] in true Tsukasa style. A pair suited in tone as well. We're anticipating more and more of the developments
from now on! is how it is.

Haha, so he'd try and have both Tsukasa and RuiXDD Too funny;P Best of both worlds huh...when he said that he was moved by reading the manga I was really impressed, I didn't know he'd gone so far as to read all of the tankoubons:3 Kawaii<3 And the interplay between those two is hilarious:D Well, he got what he wanted from the ending, just like the rest of usXDD

Finally, Wink-Up, which was requested by matsubunny;)



@ Are you the type that's happy the way you are? The type that's still unsatisfied?

I could say either one ne. Well, of course, happy is happy ne. Only, when it comes to whether or not I'm satisfied
...I also think that I musn't be satisfied with the status quo. Therefore it's both good and bad ne. I guess it's
both.

@ Are you the type that would want to become your current self even if you were reborn? The type that wants to
try living a different life?

Different people seem interesting ne. But, I mean, if I were reborn it would be a different life right? I wouldn't
be able to become me. Isn't that right? I don't think I could. I don't think I would. I mean, this personality's
tiresome (laughs). Aren't I limited to the way the current Matsumoto Jun is? If that's the case, then it would
be better to live a different life. It's not like I want to become someone else. The current me isn't completely
no good by any means. It's got worth. I think there's a purpose in this life.

@ Your lover might be cheating on you...that's the kind of situation you're in. For the time being would you be the
type to discreetly make sure of it? The type who would question her without delay? The type who would suddenly
get cold and distance yourself from her?

Eh...?! Wouldn't it be better to asK? Ask [What the heck are you doing?]. Because with cheating, that means her
feelings are fickle ne. on top of that, do I have confidence that I could realize it? Well...love is blind
ne (laughs). I may not realize it. Finding out from those around you is the most painful ne. But even if it became
a situation like that, I'd go home and ask her, [what the heck are you doing?]. But...even if you ask you don't
know ne. If they say [you're wrong] then you cna't move forward anymore. Isn't that fine? If that was the case
then I'd go play around too (laughs).

@ Are you the type that wants to prepare for you and your lover's anniversary? The type that really doesn't have
much interest in it?

If it was that kind of partner, wouldn't it be better to just go ahead and do it yourself? If I were to say if I
had interest or didn't have interest, I guess I'd have interest. It's just that I have an extremely good memory
for the dates and figures. Birthdays are a given, by and large I frequently tend to remember things a month beforehand.
Contrary to what you might think I don't hate making events out of those kind of things. Well, it does depend
on the time and situation though. I guess it's about how much I'm inclined to it ne (laughs).

@ Tell us about your recent condition.

The Dome performances, the release of [Kiiroi Namida], starting in April it's been decided I will be in another
drama. When it comes to the Dome performances, right now we're at the stage where we're doing the set, so I still
don't know...which is being honest. The large part of the coordination is being decided, all that's left is the
little details where you feel like 'what should we do?'. Somehow we're able to decide on them though ne. Because
we are thinking about a lot of things, like 'is it really okay like this?'. The set will change, I think the way
we look about it will change...it's the stage where we're reconsidering things one more, time, trying to brush
them up ne. As you would think, we're happy that lots of people can come to see us because of the large location.
It would be nice if they could have fun.
At the point when this WU goes on sale, it's also the climax of [Hana yori Dango 2] ne. Are you enjoying it? Speaking
of my recent condition, I'm duly working hard on the drama filming! I'm also getting along well with all my
co-stars. After the end of filming yesterday I went drinking at Oguri Shun's house (laughs). At first we went
to go have dinner somewhere else, but since it was Sunday the restaurants closed early, so after the second
restaurant we ended up going to Oguri Shun's house...we played games together with Shun's older brother and such.
I often go drinking with Shun after all ne. I also go with the staff. I think it's an extremely good workplace.
The story of the next drama is...since I think that from now we'll be doing the genuine planning, I'll report
again. Also, as an individual this is my first time doing consecutive drama roles, and this is the first time
in a while they've let me do a solo lead ne. It would be great if it could become something fun ne. But, first
I have to do my best right now!

This one is my favorite<3 Not being happy with how things are is something I've always been plagued with, but only now I've started realizing it's not necessarily a bad thing...and I like that he wants to try living other lives, it really does seem interesting to be someone else...:) I can totally see him calling a girl on cheating though, the tone of voice and everythingXDD But I never expected him to say he'd do it tooXDD Silly boy;P I bet he and Shun drinking together would be a lot of fun, they sound like good people to hang around with=)

Ja, hope you liked the party favors, have a great week!:) The new single is such great news, but really, do they intend to bankrupt me?XDD *watches her wallet blow by like a dustball*;P

潤くんがそんなに頑張っているから、私も頑張らなきゃダメですよねＸ３
