np. X Japan & Tokyo Academic Chamber Orchestra – Endless Rain II

My last summary in two weeks because of my long vacation (pun intended).
For “will-I-do-the-missing-ones-when-I-get-back?“, check the top-post in the blog.

The bistro-guest is 泉ピン子 [actress Izumi Pinko, who has an impressive career behind her], who brought a friend with her. That being 松岡充 [Matsuoka Mitsuru, who I dislike without even having a proper reason. He just annoys me in variety-shows].
Nakai calls him “weird” straight away (if someone doesn’t know, SMAP has a long, long history with Matsuoka so it’s no insult ), and then they bicker some more
Order: 春料理 [Haru Ryouri, spring cuisine].

Pinko-san is hilarious. Mostly they talk about different stages and arenas (Matsuoka is in the band SOPHIA btw) and the relationship between the two guests, which is actually very cute.

Pinko-san has acted with all of the guys (and she brings up Nakai’s upcoming movie 「私は貝になりたい」 and smacks him motherly )
I was in fits of laughter, when Matsuoka tried to back up his Rock-comment and then Tsuyoshi (being himself..) basically dumped SMAP and said that he understands how Matsuoka’s felt. And got put down again. Shingo’s “Dame-fingers” ^^
Kimutaku says Pinko-san is KY (can’t read the atmosphere), which is.. kind of true, based on the story he told.

Shingo’s “corner” relates to Pinko-san’s upcoming movie, “Kanfuu-kun”.

THE AGE CARD with Mr. Marick (he’s a Japanese magician). The card guests are 笹野高史 [Sasano Takashi], モト冬樹 [Moto Fuyuki] and 池乃めだか [Ikeno Medaka]. Amazing, explains why SMAP (mostly Kimutaku though) go “uwa, uwa”.

Only one of our guys lose.. and who’ll it be? Also, I take it that Nakai likes curry.

I am so HYPED for the JORO-skit! I love whoever thought about this. I almost went *squee*.
If you are totally out of what has shocked and rocked Japanese music scene under the last three weeks, GO HERE and listen to the song.
川雪 =

And because I was out of breath, having laughed non-stop at this, you get a clip.
(Tell me, how many times did Tsuyoshi watch that Utaban-performance?)

The ending-talk features SMAP this time too, since they’ll perform the other A-side from their Oricon-topping single そのまま [Sonomama], White Message.
SMAP giving relationship-advice will never really lead to anything good, since there’s always someone amongst the five who will break the mood.
Usually it’s Tsuyoshi, and this time.. yeah, it’s him too.
The question is, what should the viewer, who got chocolate on the Valentine’s Day, give back on the White Day.
Goro goes for chocolate (oridinary~), and Tsuyoshi.. well.
He says literally: ‘塩気の物を..’ [Shioke no mono wo], which translates to “something salty”, and when Nakai questions him further, he promptly says “something like squid/cuttlefish”.
Kimutaku has a sneaky look on his face, and then: “underwear”. When Tsuyoshi marvels how, coming from Kimutaku, it’s cool.
Nakai puts him down, again, saying that underwear coming from Tsuyoshi would be just “ダメ” [dame], total no-no.
Shingo says white chocolate (and promotes his drama shamelessly once again).

And then they sing “White Message”. A funky performance (I just have a feeling that they used those dresses in Kouhaku for the dancers.. ^^) and they look good in white.

Two clips, because I feel bad for leaving now and missing the EXILE-guesting in bistro next week.
- [MU] JORO-skit
- [MU] SMAP – White Message (live)
As usual, if you post the clips forwards/to streaming, link me back. Thank you.
