I’m going to start off by saying that I love Sho-kun’s mom. I wrote my post on the Bakatono episode sometime after watching it, so I forgot that one thing that annoyed me from that episode – when Aiba showed his messy make-up, someone (Sho?) said that he looked like someone from a transvestite bar at the crack of dawn. So after that episode, Sho-kun’s mom messaged him saying that it was offensive to transvestites, so he properly apologised. Thank you, Sho-kun’s mom!

They started the show explaining that they had no idea what would be happening, and talked about how in the last episode they learned the Cream Stew rules to MC-ing and whether they should be trying to use what they’ve learned. MatsuJun commented that with Cream Stew, it was alright for them to say things that might’ve been inappropriate with other people, but he had the feeling that their guest that episode was a big-name guest. Ohno commented that (if that were the case) he should’ve peed before filming XD (more…)

This episode, like the last two, begins with Arashi trying to figure out who their aniki guest is. Sho mentioned that a staff advised him to sleep early the day before, so he assumed it was someone who’d make them move a lot. So perhaps an athlete? (more…)

I told my friend (who is currently also binging on Shiyagare) that I’m going to stop watching old shows til their hiatus starts, so that I’d have even more content later, but obviously that’s not happening. I’m still reorganising my files, after all. I’ve decided to renumber my Shiyagare files, too – the kazunari@DW numbering system which I used labeled this first episode as episode 0, for example. And then there was the Breathless Encounters SP which didn’t have a number… so I’ll just start from the beginning and use my own system. (I’ll change the numbers for episodes I already wrote about as I get to them.) (more…)

Last week’s VsA! I’ve been wanting to watch this one so much because of the screencaps/clips I kept seeing on twitter. This ep was aired the day before Sho’s birthday, which they talked about during the opening. Sho talked about how turning from 35 to 36 felt like a big leap, which Aiba agreed, mimicking his surprise to realise that he was now 36. Sho added he felt the same about being 37 now, and then Riida chimed in, “I’m… 38!” Sho then thanked his mother who was often a subject in his OP talks, and Nino and MatsuJun prompted him to make a resolution that he won’t fight with her anymore, so he did.

I’m still cleaning out my external HDs, and am also looking or 2016-2017 files since I was away from the fandom during those years, and this is one of the random episodes I clicked to watch while doing that.

Hi, I’m STILL reorganising old files and today I’ve been going through my Mago Mago Arashi files, which somehow exists in three different folders in three different HDs. (I’ve moved everything to one HD, and if the files are still working, I think I have everything?) I still wonder why couldn’t I have been more organised back then (>_<). (more…)

In this episode, Arashi’s guest is comedian Jinnai Tomonari, who had recently got married to model/actress Fujiwara Norika (this was in 2007! They eventually divorced in 2009.) Anyway, in the beginning he was talking about his wedding reception.

I am still reorganising my HDs and will likely be doing it for a looooong time, because I keep getting distracted by watching older shows I find! (I wonder if I can keep to a schedule where I post about 3 different episodes a week, if I continue doing this?)
This episode of Himitsu no Arashi-chan introduced the VIP Room segment, which is one of my favourite segments from the show. Their first guest was Yonekura Ryouko, who had pretty interesting impressions: (more…)

Since I’ve been spending my free time going through my HDs and reorganising my Arashi files, I have been watching older stuff on and off. This morning I just randomly started on an episode of Vs. Arashi! (just after telling a friend that I don’t watch VsA as much as the other shows!) from 2009.
In this episode, the guests were Ueda Momoko and Moromizato Shinobu, professional golfers. (more…)
