np. Tackey & Tsubasa – The world will never forget…

SC continues in Osaka, and テゴマス [Tegomass] is still there.


The opening song is 「きっと大丈夫」 of 嵐, and the theme for the episode 「SMILE」.
Medley continues with KAT-TUN’s 「喜びの歌」, TOKIO’s 「花唄」 (..they went and stole my grandmother’s gardines for those outfits?), Kanjani’s 「ワッハッハー」, NEWS’s 「Cherish」 and HSW’s 「Dreams Come True」.

Tegomass-talk.
They talk about smiling and laughing. Masuda seems to be smiling the most in NEWS, but Shige is the one who makes the other members crack up – even if he doesn’t mean to
And Tesshi continues where the last week’s episode stopped: he is amused – in a superior way. Masuda laughs by himself in his radio show and Tesshi proves (..once again), that he’s a ladies’ man.

Tegomass does 「アイアイ傘」 and is joined by Koyama to perform 「weeeek」.
When the song was released, I complained about Tesshi not getting enough solo-lines, even though he sings about 80% of the song anyway (FYI, the boy did double back-vocals all by himself to the song). But he just sounds so good.
I ripped the audio of the weeek-part: Download here (MF)

HeiseiPost in Osaka. Nakayama ends up doing some pitching (he starred in the baseball-drama “Battery” that got fairly good reviews last season), but does he destroy a camera or a fellow-junior’s hairdo?

舞闘冠 [Butoukan] has a special stage.
Acrobatics, to-the-end rehearsed choreography by Yara and cool dancing.
Followed by, of course, 「Sweet Butterfly」.
Tsuka-chan is out of rhytm at times, but you won’t notice it if you don’t pay attention. Yamamoto keeps impressing me with his smooth moves, and Bun-chan with his voice.
Yara impresses me anyway, so

Junior League. Aru?Nashi? -battle with Osaka-theme.
Nakamaru is the judge and gives some guidelines how it’s going to be with abusing the button during introductions.
Someone asked for the questions, so basically they wanted to hear what kind of people you can see
- in school in summer
- in the sea in summer
- in Osaka in summer
Nakamaru kind of.. stole the show with his choices (Subaru last time, anyone?).

Some juniors talk about the theme.
Then Nakamaru performs his DUES-solo 「SMACK」.

Kansai-junior Q.
Their idols. They pick Yamashita, Hamanaka Bunichi (he’s such a.. I don’t have an English word for that), Yara, Yokoyama Yu, to talk about. I cast a glimpse on the board, and there were f.e. bot of KinKi, Nishikido Ryo, Akanishi Jin, Kanjani’s Maruyama..

Osaka Juniors do a rock-medley with 「maze」, 「LIPS」 (this destroyed the mood, actually. It’s not like I believe Katsun either when they sing that they want to kiss the woman so violently they’ll break the red color of her lips, but when these boys do it.. *snicker*.) and 「Romantic」.

The ending theme is Japanese version of Bon Jovi’s 「Next 100 Years」, where the juniors get joined by Tesshi and Masuda (and in the end, Butoukan and the MCs).
Notice Tesshi doing the ad-libs (and being heard through everyone else ).

Next month has Shige replacing Nakamaru as an MC (because the filming crashed with KAT-TUN’s concerts) and none of the older juniors. And HSW is there.
’til then.
I try to work on the SMAPxSMAPs during my two days off.
