AnShi 23rd Mar 2013 Part 3
Mar. 27th, 2013 07:38 pmYay finally! Part 3 hehehe. If you have not read them yet, Part 1 and Part 2 are here.
so time for erm… round table talks?
its time to watch 3 years worth of AnShi disasters! hahaha, i wonder what amusing clips awaits us XD
basically they'll be recapping all the disastrous happenings in previous episodes!
A: there's those clips that are disastrous but in a good way… and there's those that's disastrous in a bad way, those won't be shown right?
Staff: *slience*
A: EH?
AD board: first we'll start with Sakurai-san please.
S: ME????
S: Ah… so lets look at the VTR. GETTSU! (comedy gag he did the week before)
so we look at who's clips… ranked no. 3: his super weak imitation of bruce lee.
it was the episode when this guy (koroke-san?) went on AnShi… first up is the guest's imitation of bruce lee. then it's S turn
gosh its so hard to describe… its just… plain hilarious!
just some frantic old man trying to put his hand in the kettle! XD at the end… he went: Ahhhhhhhh i don't want this to be aired!
hahaha poor sho… you were safe… for a while :P
next is when kitajima kosuke went on AnS.
S struggling to put on his swimming cap haha!
that was seriously funny XD
the last clip… was the solo 'ya' shout hahahahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa!
remember this butai/broadway/whatever performance they did?
at the end there was supposedly an agreement to shout 'Ya' together… but then S was the only one doing it… hahaha! embarrassing!
and that end's Sho's video clips. S complains about the four of them not saying the 'ya' with him XD he explains that since he's standing at the back, he can only see their behind… he saw the four of them taking a deep breath and he thought they were going to say 'ya', so he did, but thorns out they were only panting… XD
Next up is nino!
no. 3 is the rare miss from nino! ha! i remember this really well!
the topic was about shoes. the guest says he hardly buys shoes… like in 10 years he's only bought a pair. but nino somehow mistook it as socks, and asks the guest how come he didn’t buy it in packs of 3 or 5, which is cheaper...
Look at Sho's face as nino was talking about 3pairs (of socks, but the rest thinks he's talking abt shoes) sold together, with different colours.
A: Eh? What? Not shoes? You mean socks?
N: Ah? Shoes? *embarrassed look*
next up is the episode where match-san went on AnShi
in front of his JE super grand senpai… nino remarks abt how he got so shocked by his senior's words that his pants tore :P
hahaha!
Next is the episode where ikuta toma came...
aiba was made to do his old gag… 'phun gorilla...'
somehow nino ends up putting on the shirt and made to do his version of the gag...
A: baba chop (chop motion on nino's head)
N: phun!
and so that was nine's vtr! haha not as bad as sho i would say.
they make aiba do the gorilla gag again XD A: no look, there's no gorilla word written on my shirt!
J goes ahead with the baba chop anyway...
XD
then its aiba's turn!
first up is when arashi was given a bunch of hard to read kanjis… and aiba kept guessing and kept getting them word
in another episode… aiba is asked to read the kanji again and….
he 'talks with the kanji god' for like 5 seconds...
and gives a wrong answer XD
next up...
german sausage were brought into the studio for taste testing...
MC: the sausage is nice isn't it?
then aiba opens his mouth to give a very informative comment: its like sausage.
dude! that's cos it IS sausage! wahahahaha!
MC: this is sausage!
and aiba's most disastrous video...
this was from this month's episode...
there was an entire section that was unaired… aiba teaching the guest how to make a simple dinner...
when it was aired, all we got to see was ohno thanking the guest or something… aiba's cooking was completely cut! the only evidence of the segment ever occurring was the lonely plate on the table...
aiba laughs like mad at the vtr…!
actually because nine's magic was too good, there wasn’t enough time and aiba's segment got cut entirely! aw poor thing ><
aiba complains that they could have at least showed a bit of the cut segment! haha! i thought they were going to show the cut off part too but… the staff is quite mean ne? :P
apparently aiba did some magic in that episode too… but it got cut as well… aw…!
S: since this time it got cut off as well, it'll probably never going to get shown again.
A: *laughter*
J is up next!
J was asked to brush the crocodiles teeth...
then J suddenly went 'oiiiiiii'
and the crocodile made the same noise! J got really shocked and scared XD
next up is the episode with koroke again… J was asked to imitate a baby...
somehow… it just doesn’t look like a toddler…
and they have to repeat the vtr again in slow motion haha!
next vtr!
this year's new year SP!
hahaha! his eyes got really big ne?
and then after that the comedians 'fought' and dragged J into their kiss gag :P
HAHA!
and that's all for MJ!
S: at first J didn’t want to do it… but later he thought 'ah let's go' right?
lastly we have ohno!
it was doing some episode that i've not watched before… Ohno was supposed to give the weather report in a news program...
haha! the first thing we see is the AD helping ohno put on his costume… and moving the thermometer in place.
gosh what's with that look!
first he gave the weather report from osaka… -3 degrees C in osaka…! while wearing that??? hahaha
then from sapporo… boy poor… hahaha moving the props into place! XD
and bending down to put on the clothing XD
and while ohno is shivering like mad in sapporo… the thermometer shows 26 degrees C! XD Nino asks Oh-chan for the current temperature...
ohno walks over to the thermometer and finally realises what went wrong… he covers thermometer XD you're so funny oh-chan!
2nd one! some episode i've not watched b4 again! all 5 of them played the electric guitar with the guest…
at the end of the show the 5 of them decides to do it again by themselves...
ohno was supposed to be the lead, and give to cue to end the performance...
when he finally gives the cue… he fails terribly at playing the ending part XD
last vtr now!
it’s the right or wrong quiz… contestants will have to dash and break the wall… behind the wall of the wrong answer is a puddle of water waiting to wet the contestants!
A qn is asked, J thinks its wrong… he gets leader to go for the correct answer, but leader refuses
so J decides to go for the correct one, while leader goes for the wrong one. (as in, its like a true false qn)
Ohno scolds J, calling him a devil XD
haha in the end the first one that J made ohno do was correct!
another qn… Nino this time round XD
what a splash haha!
and that's all!
S gets O to give a message, since AnShi is entering its 4th year already… but ohno gave such a fail message that he got embarrassed and apologised right after he finished :P
S: Ohno-san, that was a big disaster yeah?
O:Yes it was… 
O: it comes in 3rd place!
and so amid laughter the episode ends!
yay! finally finished this XD Thank you for reading, sorry it took so long to finish... m(_ _)m
the Title call: Filming a short movie with uchimura director!
the first thing they have to do is read the script of the short film 'graduation from arashi'!
S: isn't this too serious?
funky girls + AD brings out a board with the script… Or shd i say… boards.
G: let me read out the script. Ah first up is the sakurai role. Who's going to act out the role of sakurai?
MC: don't complicate things unnecessarily!
And so he starts reading out the script. here's my attempt at translating it… in brackets are the actions they are required to do
Anyway the next step!
Step 2: Learn director chimera's weird antics! (ok, I'm not sure what the word means. weird antics? overall just… learn his acting skills)
The MC kindly informs arashi that the director is very strict, and that even famous actors (see that little box on the left) have cried after being criticised by him
G orders Nino to change the turn in the style of his favourite movie 'locky'
N throws up some punches and then does a victory pose while saying the famous lines :)
So this is where they'll be doing the short film! G explains the setting is some kind of control room… like somewhere they gather say after a concert or something kind of job together… and then that's when the whole talk started.
G starts telling them where to stand etc. 1st leader's place is in the middle. J: so you have a vision? (on how we shd stand etc) G: Yes i do. J: and so we just follow? G: yes, you all just have to get on the ride
somehow they just end up standing in one line. they complain about how its boring and didn’t make use of the set at all :P
G: okok i understand! leader will stand like this… while the rest of you will tilt your bodies in the direction of leader.
the rehearsals start...
at the EHHHH line, all of them are supposed to look at camera no. 3 while gesturing. Yes, it’s a comedy skit, if you haven already gotten it :P
O: even me?
G demos how leader shd act.
They do it again. Hilarious! (don't you think oh-chan is really brown these days? he must have gone fishing a lot eh?)
they continue the skit..
G: Ah wrong! its supposed to be like this! *does crossing and waving his hands in a wave like motion… which is the trait mark gag of another comedian*
*see the comedian in red, he appeared on AnShi the week before*
J has no choice but to follow XD ah hilarious!
S clarifies how he shd calm J down...
S: shd i do it by trying to catch J's hands?
So J and S ends up doing the little dance XD
Next up is leader's line, and they have to go back to the starting 'basic' position and listen to oh-chan's talk.
and they do it again: Fisherman???
G: hahaha! Ohno is the one who is the most surprised!
Next up is aiba's line. G makes aiba bend down, pick up an imaginary item and throw it while saying his line! He's supposed to pretend there's a lake in front and he's skipping stones XD Yes… a lake in front of the greenroom haha!
Aiba skips a stone nicely :)
He nods as he looks on at the skipping stone.
Next nino is supposed to kneel on the floor while singing his line: i don't want this!
G demonstrates how N should sing his line. Yes, literally, sing.
N: *accusing tone* Anpanman -.-'''
G: because my daughter is watching! (in the talk earlier he said that his daughter love watching anpanman.)
and so Nino sings XD
He makes J repeat the earlier move, while of cos arashi complains about the change in script XD
G: ah ok… then say the script while doing this! 'You think you can really become a fisherman?'
I think they're all getting stomachaches from laughing too much XD
and ohno's supposed to pretend he hurt his shoulder while saying 'i want to fish!'
J: that's not cool!
A: *while dancing around like… a weirdo? a drunkard?* it doesn’t make a difference to me/i don't dive a damn!
N: Okasaannnnn! (Mummy!)
N: how come I'm acting as ur daughter?
G demos how J should walk up to the camera to say the last line with great impact...
MC: he completely copied it! Completely copying the gag of his junior!
after some consideration though… G decides that instead of crying for his mommy, he shd yell for anpanman instead… and of cos nino protest violently. But then G insists saying that because his daughter is watching haha
then he decides to rope in the MC for his comedy. MC: ehhhh?
The mc gets ordered to sing a song entitled 'graduation'.
then J comes out to say his line, cutting off the singing and ending the skit.
and then step 3! In one try do the wild acting with uchimura!
they get some time off to rehearse… then they must do it in front of the audience in one shot! no second chances will be given!
some screenies of them in the backstage… G: sorry! for making you guys do this! :P
and so they reenter the studio for the 'actual' shot!
and the short movie 'Graduation from Arashi' starts!
G gives the starting call.
S: what's wrong? whats with the deep in thought look?
O: everyone, listen up!
O: I want to graduation from arashi.
In perfect unison! nice XD
but then the director orders a cut. XD he complains that they were taking too long in between each line XD he asks them to do it with a slightly faster tempo, more energetically
so much so for doing everything in one shot. we move to take 2 XD
and so they started from the beginning...
J: why! Why!
S: clam down! even though i understand ur feeling...
O: i want to become a fisherman!
and again! All: fisherman???
While aiba picks up a stone, nino scrambles into position for his line.
(nothing much to say but repeat their lines)
ohno with his dramatic face!
haha nino's anpanman!
And so the skit ends!
G declares that it was perfect!
and then they watch the whole thing together with all the sound effects etc...
it’s a fast forward video of the entire filming session
G: that was great!
G: *guilty look*
G: a different viewpoint?
Ah… i remember now! Some movie director is the aniki guest today and it seems like it's gonna be a real hilarious episode XD yay! It’s the spring 90mins SP episode woohoo. anyway moving on...
Today's guest!
indeed, sho is looking extra kakkoii in suit today XD
The title call is something like… arashi's Spring SP - even if yo fail, everything will still be broadcasted. (can't figure out what the 1st sentence S said means :P)
A: is it a group? S: hmmm yes it could be A: ah i see something that's different. the rest: What?
A: there's a tripod over there!
S: ah from there ne? The leg (tripod stand) of the camera ne? A: Ah so they are going to be filming from there? G: Wow amazing! Amazing!
A: *look of realisation*
he's here to promote his new movie
G: But really, that the movies didn’t open on the same day as platinum data was a great thing! That was so dangerous! If it did i won't be able to come on this show!
His present for arashi is...
its some sort of walking stick specially for climbing mt fuiji. It can only be bought at the mt fuji.
he starts talking about how his wife went to climb mt fuji and bought a lot of sticks, and places like one in each room. and whenever she hears some suspicious noise she'd grab the stick and go 'don!'
S: so instead of using this as a walking stick, its more for self defence right?
our boys start fooling ard with the stick XD
because G took one of the sticks for demo purposes, A is left w/o one and complains. :P
more fooling ard with the stick XD
poking imaginary enemies on the floor and on the second floor...
Title call! "Something only known to super stars - uchimura's face unveiled!"
Here's today's MC
ahahahhhhh dreadful! here comes all the talk in difficult japanese :(
everyone bursts out laughing as the MC's partner appears. they'd ask the mc earlier if his partner was coming and he gave some random answer haha. N: that was fast!
Next informer…! "He is always a challenger"
apparently he tried to break the guiness world record of the greatest length of moonwalk walked in an hour
G hardly gets angry. Like when given cold bentos others might ask the staff to buy a new warm one, but instead G will thank and staff and eat up.
S: *makes breathing suuuuuuuuuu sounds*
J was trying to calm down, relax and focus by breathing.
and here comes the 1st story teller!
yup, that's him! Arashi commented on his dressing and hairstyle, he replied that it’s the 1st time he's spotting such a hairstyle after 16 years in the entertainment industry XD
He says that tokyo would be unimaginable without these two bronze statues.
Location of the two bronze statues. The bottom left is the statue of the dog 
At that point in the the bartender made some noise, scary the members a little XD
the 3 earlier mentioned animals are next to each other in the order of the zodiac.
Just like the earlier story, the top right location is the ghost gate, the location where the chicken n monkey are is the 'back ghost gate', so those animals can defeat the ghost. That's also why the Oni have horns of the cow, and pants with tiger stripes, like the 2 animals tiger and cow in the ghost gate.
They laugh. J: That's not very high!
They start looking at Ohno's palms. 
Aniki says that the lines and shape of the palm is the same as the arrangement of attractions in disney land.
N asks O to look at his hands. 
In disney, all the attractions like pirates etc that are kind of… from the past, as on the left. N looks up with realisation. On the right side, there's space land and all the futuristic attractions. He starts going into specifics about how an attraction with a gold mine storyline is location in the 'gold luck line' of the hand, where the 'wedding line' is in the palm, in disney land it’s the cinderella castle. At the 'children's line' location, disney built the 'it’s a small world' attraction.
Methinks Ohno is bored.
Some place in tokyo… can't quite catch what was rumoured to have occurred in this place (yes, even with chinese subs i don't understand the subs!) Something about it being a general's burial grounds. Anything this place is supposed to be a really powerful spiritual spot, so its best if you don't go there. If you go there to pray whole heartedly, you'll be treated as a friend, but if you are half hearted, or have bad intentions, you'll be treated as a foe and unspeakable things may happen to you. LIke when the GHQ tried to get soldiers to work on the location, a lot of accidents happened and hence the place was still left as it is now. 
They start talking about the layout of shrines and how it relates to the female reproduction parts… so like if you are half a person (lost) when you enter the shrine, you should come out whole when walking back… like how half a person (i think they are talking about the sperm) enters the vagina but eventually a whole baby comes out. So aniki explains that its fine to go there even when you are feeling lost.
There's a rumour that if you look into the well and see your reflection very clearly, that means that you are healthy. However if the reflection is blurred, it means you don't have long to live.
J's turn this time. J: How many %?
J: Really? 
N: The next day?
After that, a bell rings, signalling the end of the 1st aniki's talk time.
The 2nd aniki makes his appearance!
A former NHK washington post journalist? not sure if i got that right but anyway… XD
Like in america you have CIA, the england it’s the MI6 etc etc… It seems like all the spies are gathering in tokyo, like ants swarming to honey, the spies are swarming to tokyo because there's loads of information to be gathered there. Apparently, its easy to get really important information in tokyo, increasing the place's popularity. 
his question got arashi a little scared
MC: Are there a lot of such spies here?
S: Say if, this Nino that i've known for over 10 years… And i say to him ' recently something happened, and i got some money', is there a possibility that this person is a spy?
Nino looks around, unsettled. N: no no no, that was just an example!
This beautiful lady, 
Aniki goes on to talk about other spies. Non-human spies, literally. Like the bald eagle in the picture.
On the surface it just looks like a normal blade eagle, but actually this one is flying about of skies of saudi arabia, and is captured during saudi's counter intelligence actions. On its legs a GPS is installed, and the leg ring has hebrew written on it - i.e. it’s a spy from Israel. Saudi arabia believes its used to locate military bases etc, and protested to Israel. Israel says its just to prevent the capture of their birds, and till now the truth is still unknown.
He first asks arashi to guess who they think is most suitable. S: After the chat we just had, i think that someone who's able to be good friends with others instantly will be good. 
Everyone points at Nino, while Nino points at Sho. Funny… based on the 'instantly take a liking to others/easy to talk with' criterial, I'd pick Aiba.
Qn 1: pick 1 out of 3 reasons why they would become spies. 1) Adventurous heart 2) Money 3) Driven by believes.
J picked C, and as honourable protecting your country may be, he fails to make the cut.
On the same question, since N loves $$$, he fails to make the cut too.
The members laugh at Nino XD A: wow you know that N loves his money N: Its just a rumour, a rumour ok? You've not heard of a money minded idol have you?
Aniki: doesn’t he look like a really normal person? No one will ever point him out. Such ppl are most suitable to be spies. 
A: Ah leader fits (to be a spy)
The 3rd Aniki is a writer who is very familiar with information about UFOs.
Ainiki replies what kind of image they have of aliens. A: Its tako (squid) isn't it?
Aniki digs into his suitcase for a model. Its called little grey (says aniki, i don't know).
Nowadays this is the image of aliens, be it in toys or manga… a creature with big head, big eyes, and grey skin. (How un-alien like. tsk tsk tsk) Aniki: actually, this image of the aliens have only been decided about 30 years ago. It all came about because of the movie by 
The aliens were portrayed like this in the movie. Also the image was preserved in his E.T. movie. Those movies fixed the image of aliens in minds around the world.
There used to be many different portrayals of aliens, but Steven's version replaced them all, and the image of aliens became fixed as such. 
The photo appeared in the 80s, but the body was said to be found in USA, Roswell in 1947. (oh wow apparent'y it’s a 
In July this year, a document that's known as the 'last UFO secret' was leaked from the British air force. The British government was investigating documents on UFO sightings, and this document was published. 
He says these ultra terrestrials use their great knowledge and height to go above the earth and looking down on us like ants and cockroaches. LIke a godlike presences, but in fact they actually live on this Earth with us.
S: So are these ultra terrestrials given birth by other ultra terrestrials? Are they a family or a race?
Aniki says that the worst problem in America is the high rate of child kidnappings. Like up to 80,000 cases every year. Most of the kids are found immediately, but some just disappear forever. For e.g. in America (according to Aniki! I don't know!), they will print the faces of the missing child on milk cartoons...
(now that's a really old photo)
He says that child kidnapping a really bad social problem in the US. Most of the kidnappings are not for money, but rather for child possession rights after parents divorce. (Man he is really going off tangent here, i really don't get it!) So the kids may grow up not wanting to get married or to have boyfriends, because of the childhood trauma they had from their parent's divorce. So the US has a really advanced healthcare system, and in order to combat the trauma, they treated the children with hypnosis or mind influencing techniques, to remove their memory of the divorce. 
(they look skeptical. So am i) However one day, those memories will still resurface. However as the memories were sealed away, they resurface in a different manner, in the form of 'i got kidnapped by aliens'. Like, the memory of the childhood home and everything suddenly disappeared from the child, when asks date child would reply 'because i got kidnapped by aliens' 
And the bell rings! Signalling the end of the last story telling session! Phew… that was a lengthy one to write!
J has a shocking story to tell. J: 3 or 4 years ago, i went to 
J: And then the guide said to me 'Matsumoto-san, you're an alien'.
Trololol! After all the suspense… 
The rest gets up to leave. MC: Ah, next time if you want to hear scary stories, please come back to my bar! N: Sorry, we'll take the back door out today. XDXD
MC to J: Order anything you would like to drink, I'm leaving first. 
J is left all alone XD
Our boys are dressed up nice and smart :) All suits :)
They start guessing who's the guest… Who would you link with suits? Sho thought of something! S: Isn't this week Zero Week? 
You got it Sho! This week's guest is a news caster!
Not only that, Sho also guessed correctly! The guest IS murao-san as sho guessed! (thank sho, i didn’t know how to pronounce that name XD)
J: so after taping AnShi, its just nice time for news zero. S: yes the timing is just nice.
Enter Murao-san!
Sho is shocked XD
After a bit of small talk, they proceeded to the title call right away! No 'true or false rumour session' today! Title: Top caster Murao VS Johnny's Arashi. Revealing the face behind the News.
Aniki calls on Aiba to change the set. Aiba tries to do it newscaster style :)
J seems to be looking for instructions/directions or something… cos the arrangement of the chairs was all cramped together.
Staff-san arranging the chairs :)
As aniki tried to sit down, the flimsy backboard threatened to fall on him :P 
Cos the staff have yet to put the prop properly in place yet XD
MC: On one hand we have top caster Murao-san, on the other we have national top idol arashi. There are a lot of similarities between the two. S: Really? MC: What are the similarities? N: Male. (HAHAHA NINO! You are hilarious!) 
They start off with the 1st similarity. Something that aniki MUST do after every news filming. Sho asks if he knows about it. Aniki: I don't think sakurai-sai knows about it...
Sho seems to have gotten the answer! 
Sho's answer: hand washing and gargling! (as in, rinsing your mouth). I totally laughed when he said this. As you might expect, his answer is wrong XD After some more guessing, they give up and ask aniki to provide the correct answer...
Answer: Think about what flavour to use for onsen (hot bath) today! Lol ok so Sho wasn’t actually that far off after all! You know they have like those different flavours of stuff you can add to your bath? Like… idk… rose or herbs etc etc (not sure what are the 3 examples he named though). Aniki loves onsen a lot. 
XD aniki says he uses up all his energy during the meeting that's why he can be so cool and collected when he is on-air haha! Next up is arashi's turn to say what they always do after live/recordings XD
S: Consider what to eat with soba (soba toppings). MC: You guys love soba a lot don't you? O: But after shiyagare, its always soba (wow never knew that, and that was like, the 2nd or 3rd sentence by ohno today :P )
Nino leans in on leader as he considers is there's anything all ALL 5 of them will do… A: Only during live (concerts), we'll eat together after the concert. But its only during live. 
They had two recordings that day so after the 1st recording, he ate soba for lunch. After the current recording, he'll eat soba for dinner XD. S: Isn't it a waste of time asking us this? Yeah a little, but it was interesting nonetheless XD Conclusion: the 5 of them each do different things.
Unexpected weakness!
Sho has a guess! S: He's actually bad in the evenings/night. Aniki: Sho is right! I'm actually weak at night. That's why i take a 20-30mins nap at around 8-9pm everyday. I go into a very deep sleep, sometimes i wake up no knowing where i am!
J the stylist to the rescue!
MC: Please do read the news while wearing this
Aniki: *bows* Good evening XD
A: These are premium goods ne? 
A: I think this would fit Murao-san. *looks at O and N expectantly. O and N gives A the look. A: Oi can't you guys help me out! 
Aiba lets aniki try the wig anyway...
J picks up a scarf for him… they start giving him a 'makeover' XD trololol!
OMG LOL! He looks like a 'new half' (what japan calls transexuals) to me lol! I think it’s the wig and the glasses :P
Aniki: I'm look like I'm in the zoo!
In an episode a few weeks back, they had this similarity comparison thing too… and all 4 had the same thing but leader was always the exception :P. So this time the MC (same MC as that previous AnShi) decided to just leave a space at the side specially for Ohno! XD N: Think about it ne leader? 
S: So the other day we were having concert meetings/discussion/something to that effect, Ohno ended up looking like this. (see pic abv. Sho was pretending to be the sleeping Ohno) 
So its zero casters on one side, and AMNO on the other now :)
They start on the next point. "What aniki will always do before he sleeps" Sho starts gesturing and asking why he's sitting WITH aniki when the answer is a personal one and not unique to zero casters… XD Cute XD 
they start telling ohno that it’s the same as J's guess, just phrased differently. Nino demands that aniki answers Ohno's question anyway XD Protective Nino XD
Seems like the son knows his dad well :P
Gosh. Sho's epic face. That got turned into a meme(s). Saw the 
Anyway… Aniki reads this book… A: this is the relative of journey to the west or… XD
He goes on to explain what the 2 sentences meant… which I'm not gonna translate XD Ok… its roughly some poetic thing about how rivers keep flowing on and on, and how it relates to life (and death). 
Sho listens on with a really serious face XD When aniki finishes his speech...
S: Next up, its Zero Culture (a segment within News Zero). XD Gosh this episode is hilarious! 
S: Next up, is Zero Movie. 
Then aniki starts talking about how its true, in NZ they really get very little time to talk. Like 30 seconds. For 2 person - him and sho. That kind of thing. Half way through aniki's talk, the MC goes off to press the button on set that makes the NZ's trademark '~ZERO~' go off… cutting aniki in his talk 
PLUS making him bow most automatically (as they have to on NZ)… as nino points out to laughter from sho. 
So the MC tries it again...
Much to everyone's (including myself) amusement XD S: Please stop it, my body will move automatically!
And again in perfect unison XD OMG now my stomach's hurting!
Its time to explore the unknown world with ohno satoshi! XD
hmm… writer? or artist?
mangaka desu! 
The mangaka kinda ignored ohno after saying hello so ohno bent down to look at him :P
he said some to to hno which i can't catch… but probably asking him to stand further away cos he stood like… the above pic XD
Then he asks if ohno has seen the manga before. Ohno says it looks familiar but couldn’t come up with a name...
He is Ueyamatochi, the author of the manga cooking papa! Woots. A manga that's been going on for 28 years now. Sugoi! What is he gonna teach Ohno?
Right now this favourite dish is Curry Udon! (T.T! I'm hungry!)
So he's here to teach ohno how to appreciate curry udon! 
Point no. 1: Eat curry udon in soba house (aka shops) This kind of curry udon tastes great. Because soba shops they have this sauce, that's a bit sweet and spicy. When that is added to the curry, it makes the curry japanese styled. 
Point no. 2: Add a huge amount of spring onions to your curry udon! (Gosh I'm really really hungry now! and that drawing is really pretty too, as expected from a top class mangaka XD ) As expected, ohno got very interested in the drawing XD. O: Who drew this? Mangaka: I did O: it looks great/delicious! Managaka: Cos I'm a mangaka… O: Sorry that was rude. Mangaka: its ok, i get very happy when ppl say I'm good. O: Do i really put THAT much spring onion? Mangaka: Yes, because the curry has become japanese styled, it goes great with spring onions. Please do try it with this amount of spring onions. 
Point no. 3: Slurp till the curry flies everywhere! 
O: till it flies? Mangaka: Yes, slurping makes is delicious. Slurping noodles is a culture unique to Japan. By slurping the noodles, you introduce air into your mouth together with the noodles and cool the noodles in an instant. At the same time, you also take in the aroma and taste of the food. 
But it finds the shop right after saying that XD Exactly like its drawn in the picture! 
At the front of the shop, Ueyamakachi-san informs Ohno that he has prepared an apron specially for Ohno! He 'tosses it from the space ship to Ohno'
Who catches it happily XD
Uwahhhhh pretty! 
The shop that Ohno goes to has been around for 80 years already 
Leader orders curry udon, with loads of spring onions :)
O: Is it like this? (the slurping) Mangaka: No its not quite enough… you have to slurp it more violently.
O: but i don't want to do this! After you purposely drew on the apron and gave it to me. Mangaka: I really don't mind, please slurp more!
Ohno then lifts a bunch of udon really high up… but one strand of udon slipped from this chopsticks and went down with a little splash, causing ohno to jump. 
Ohno: This time I'm sure i dirtied the apron for real… 
Ohno whines at the dirtied apron. Mangaka: (you dirtied the apron but) Not in the way i asked you to though… 
O: Its good to have added so much spring onion. I'm only eating spring onions now.
After Ohno finishes the curry, the mangaka has an additional point to tell ohno. 
"Add 'half rice' into the left over curry sauce."
i think the half rice meant either half a bowl of rice?
O: Ahhhhhhhh its delicious. Compared to the usual curry rice, this curry sauce is much more watery, so it makes it easier to slurp the rice down. 
Not a single drop of curry left!
He gives Ohno 90 points! Ending sentence: Next time, i'll teach you how to draw manga! Wah I'd really love to see that, and i bet ohno would love that too! Haha, instead of saying like 'next time eat more curry udon', he talks about teaching ohno to draw manga! XD
To find that they've talked through one whole point while Ohno was eating! Tsk Oh-chan! Eat faster next time! XD (Nah just kidding, they just cut off that part) 
He says that he'll like to interview J!
And the zero interview starts!
