VSA 5th Dec 2013 Part 1
Dec. 11th, 2013 01:02 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
coolohohWhee! Last week’s VSA! Chinen-kun (from Hey! Say! JUMP) is the plus one guest today, and he has mentioned in various interviews how he idolises Ohno. I remember reading a translation of a mag interview of both Chinen and Ohno, and Chinen was so nervous! I remember Chinen said that he really hopes to be a back dancer for Arashi, but Ohno kept telling him its impossible since he’s already in HSJ. Lol!
Anyhow, let’s begin!
S: Its getting colder bit by bit isn’t it?
S: Do you decide on when you start wearing winter clothes? Today Ninomiya-san was still in sandals right? (referring to the personal clothes he wore to work)
J starts talking about how he saw Aiba sometime back...
Aiba was wearing a down (jacket) on top, and sandals.
N: Its around the time of FNS...
S: Ahhh you means around that time you feel that its at the end of the year. ISNT THAT LATE???
Nino’s sense of timing aside, Sho calls for today’s guests!
Today’s guests are Team Gunma! (Gunma is a prefecture in the Kanto region of Japan. Seems like a lot of prefectures are coming on VSA huh? XD )
Today’s guests are all born in Gunma. They introduce the characters.
This brown one is Ishidan-kun. He’s the character of a hot spring (street?).
The character’s body is made of steps just like in the street.
The other one is a pear ninja…
N: I want to ask this… he’s 85% human right? (As in, he just puts on a mask and that’s all, no bulky costume covering his body.)
And its time for the plus one guest to appear… I wonder how they will react XD
Lol ohno’s face!
So rare to see them smiling when the plus one guests comes out haha! Normally at this point we won’t even be seeing arashi’s faces… we’ll just be seeing the plus one guest slowly walking down instead.
Wow! Chinen is short!
Oh wow, i didn’t know Chinen has been on VSA before. He was here in 2009 15th Aug.
Nino comments on how he is dressed up like a member of HSJ.
S: Today… the senpai you like is… *hand gestures towards Ohno*
C: Arashi desu
S: Ohno-san
C: AH yes Ohno-san!
S: Are you nervous?
C: Yes I’m very nervous!
O: When are you going to look up to me till?
N: What’s wrong with that?
First game! Kicking sniper!
Guest team plays first.
Game start!
First target: all three missed!
2nd target: 1st kicker - hit, 20 points get! Joy (2nd kicker) missed.
3rd kicker hit off the non scoring cans, causing the top layer to lose balance and fall.
3rd target: 1st kicker miss. Joy scored 20 points...
And then the target lost balance and fell on its own! Last can remaining and 3rd kicker missed though :(
4th target: 1st kicker hits off the top 3 cans. Joy kicked off the can right smack in the middle - no points for that.
3rd kicker - hits off all the red cans, no perfect though
Last target: 1st kicker - 20 points. 2nd and 3rd kicker miss!
Final score: 200 points!
the 3rd kicker has played this game for the 4th time already, and his score are always pretty bad.
Arashi’s turn next!
MC: Ohno-kun, team Gunma scored 200 points, what are you aiming for?
O: This game… the highest points possible is around 500?
MC: The highest score possible is 550!
O: 500!
The rest comment on how he wants to show off his strong side because Chinen is here.
Chinen praises her idol: Ohno-kun can really do anything. Maybe when the game ends i wouldn’t even get to kick once!
O: Nope, i don’t think so.
Aiba realised that he sucks at being the 3rd kicker. He gives his analysis: Normally he gets high tensioned easily, so he will breath out like ‘fuu fuuu’ to calm himself down. But as the 3rd kicker, by the time he does that, the cans have almost disappeared from view already. So this time round he will kick earlier.
N: So your way to correct this is just to kick earlier?
J: Is it really that difficult to kick earlier Aiba-san?
A: its hard! I get lost! but if i try i’ll be able to do it! (apparently it’s a phrase antonio inuki loves to use)
Game start!
1st target: Ohno hits but the last two cans righted themselves instead of tipping over
Chinen missed. Aiba knocked off one can only.
2nd target. Ohno hit right smack in the centre
And Chinen took out a sliver can at the side
Aiba scrambles to get back up. Did since ball get hit off earlier by a rebound?
His kick went very wide
Ohno and Chinen missed. Aiba scores!
Aw. one last can standing. No perfect for Aiba.
4th target. Ohno hits off a sliver can
Chinen and Aiba both missed!
Last target! Ohno scores
Chinen missed again. Aiba scores! It’s a perfect this time!
The last shot was well done Aiba!
Haha. On the 2nd round, aiba’s ball was knocked off by the rebounding ball from leader’s kick.
MC asks nino if there’s any change in today’s aiba. N: Nope, it was as per normal.
MC comments on how O didn’t perform as well as expected. O: I did hit the target… BUT… *points at Chinen*
Haha! Chinen didn’t score a single point! In fact all his kicks were misses except 1!
Ohno gestures… i think he’s trying to say all the shoots missed!
Over at the guests side… the hot spring character took off the ‘head’ to reveal a very very sweaty guy.
And another.
Ohno is surprised. I’ve seen those two talents/comedians before, but i can’t rem their names.
One of the duo is from Gunma, and wanted to support the team. They didn’t plan to reveal themselves but it got way too hot. They’ll be joining the Gunma Team (and taking part in the games)
Its rolling coin tower time!
No more lucky characters :P
The Gunma team gathered to do a cheer.
Guess I wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand what the cheer was about :P
Its this card game thing, where someone says out the first phrase, and you have to find the corresponding card, as well as say out the 2nd phrase. Its unique to the Gunma prefecture i guess? (the phrase used that is) And it seems like the younger generation don’t play that anymore :P
Game start!
Sho stacking it up nonchalantly
The tower is started to sway
Looking safe...
But no! It was not meant to be...
The tower collapses as he gets off the steps
50 bonus points to team Gunma!
The rest try to cheer Chinen up, while Ohno starts to get angry XD
S: Its ok, all of us have made the tower fall plenty of times before, right Ohno?
O: No such thing!
S: Sorry, after we had the happy characters earlier, next we’ll have the devil/evil character...
C: I feel like crying already
O: No, I’m the one who feels like crying~
(in the purple box: As expected, the evil/scam character)
Ohno announces that bunk bowling is next!
First up is Sho and Chinen!
Lol what’s with the kungfu pose XD
Chinen promises that he’ll hit the red pin, so that he will perform well and not get scolded by Ohno. Nino asks him to do the imitation...
C: (In a very weird voice) Za seto, kai ten shiyagare! (Sho’s famous line from the pre-revamp AnShi, I’m sure ya all know about this right?)
Sho is surprised and mouths “Ore?” (Me?). I think we were all expecting an imitation of Ohno...
Sho: Sorry, but that wasn’t like me at all!
J makes him do it again.
S: I was like this?
C: To me it was like this!
This time round they do it together. Love how Sho purposely does it exactly like his junior :P
MC: Nino, don’t you think the both of them make a perfect combination?
N: Indeed, but the set didn’t turn/change at all though…!
And off goes the ball! Chinen is using Ohno’s blue :P
But they missed the red pin!
They score 133 points!
Somehow i just love this view of the set. Maybe because you can see all the staff and the cameras… Also, this is more like the view that Arashi/the guests who aren’t playing get to see.
S: Ohno-san, how was it?
O: (without any hesitation) The red one still remains ne?
I love DoS Ohno! Its like we either get the non existent Ohno who doesn’t speak like 10 or 20mins into the show, or we get the (mock) angry Oh-chan XD
Sho can’t stop laughing!
J: On the other hand, you just have to hit it during the 2nd throw and it’ll be fine!
O: Maa lets just do it!
Not that many pins left!
Ohmiya combi! O: (softy, while MC was introducing them) A spare can’t be done?
MC asks nino what he thinks. Nino starts pressuring Ohno, commenting that since he had been extremely hard on Chinen, he’ll better show him how its done and hit the red pin (something to that effect at least).
Nino then imitates Ohno’s words and actions earlier… “a spare will probably be tough…"
O: Lets get as close to a spare as possible then
Everyone: Close to a spare?
It got nino into a laughing fit this time
Trololol. Love it when he’s like this.We hardly get to see so much of Ohno after all. I mean like… in the AnShi i was reviewing earlier (30th Nov 2013), he barely said 20 sentences in the entire show, and most of which just side comments with less than 5 making it into the review….? Ah ok not that bad… thanks to Sho making him touch the muscles part but otherwise he didnt talk at all!
Game start!
Oh! Ohno’s ball heading straight for the red!
It hits the red pin but barely anything else :P (in fact, only 1 more white pin.)
Sho is laughing so much today XD
Gosh his face…!
They score 51 points! Yes… Nino’s throw only scored a messily 1 point :P
Nino comments on how Ohno only knocked off about only that one red pin.
The guest comments that they can’t even tell if that was cool or boring.
That comment cracked them up once more.
Okay! Its been two and a half games. That means you’ll have to read the rest in Part 2! XD
They will be doing the first throw!
The guy loves bowling a lot, today too, he’s brought his own bowling ball.
He brought two balls too.
Off they go!
AH! The balls collide midway!
Now the balls are completely off course!
Nakayama’s ball skimmed off a mere three pins
While Imori san’s ball rolls back ever so slowly
It hits the side, bounce back… and hits off a single blue pin!
They score 22 points! :P
Next up is this two!
From this angle is looks almost like it’s only the first throw :P So many pins left!
Akiyama does a gag, but since i dont know who he’s imitating… ><
They ask if he’s going to bowl like this.
Yup! He is!
He still took off the mask at the very end though. 
He finally makes the throw! 
Oh! Right in the middle!
Akiyama got the red pin, good work!
They score 157 points!
The next game is cliff climb!
First up is Arashi team, J and Chinen are climbing!
It’s the second last game, and my, a mere 4 points gap between the two teams!
J: (in a serious tone) Up till now Chinen-kun has tried his best, at least that’s what I feel. but Ohno-san hasn’t acknowledged that yet. I think that Chinen can do well in this though
They reenact the trapeze act Chinen did during a concert last time… The pro was hanging upside down from the swing, and the guy caught him by the legs and then he lets go...
J tries to flip upside down but just ends up swinging towards the wall :P
Its gotta do with the wiring of their safety harness as well after all :P
Aiba requests that they try once more.
This time the staff lifts J up XD
But he still fails XD
J: What’s this! What’s this!
They show the relevant clip from HSJ’s 2010 concert.
Anyway Chinen believes that he’s got the strength and will be able to climb the wall. S encourages him and asks him to show Ohno his good performance.
Of course, he’ll be climbing the chin of the wall.
C: I think I can do it.
N: Sa, Matsumoto-san, leave 100 seconds? (for Chinen) J: 100 seconds?
O: *laughs* 100 seconds?
A totally serious J starts the climb!
He asks for the first grip! 
He’s fast!
WOW! Right on the dot! Its exactly 100 seconds left when he presses the button. He’s gotta make his way down though...
Baton pass and now its Chinen’s turn!
Chinen makes his way with swiftly. 
He climbs up and reaches the 30 points green button without asking for a grip! He’s really trying very hard ne?
And then he loses his grip and falls! Haha… just as I thought would happen… he was looking pretty unstable on the way up already ><
Its game over for arashi!
I bet J’s thinking “I climbed so fast for nothing!” haha!
Sometimes you can’t try too hard ne? ><
And Ohno was all prepared to pass Chinen the grip...
Lololol…!
O: Look at me!
O: Rely on the grip!
Chinen said something about being unable to use all his strength in the actual filming.
Next is the guest team!
Somehow… it became narration based. Lol… the first time cliff climb became narration based? The guest released the grip when Joy was totally not asking for the grip...
NO WAIT! The grip was not in the basket at all, its being held by the supporter!
They couldn’t pass the grip properly...
And it happened later with the 2nd climber too… the grip was delivered properly this time… but the climber didn’t grab it.
In the end they score 180 points. Not much better than arashi lol!
They talk about the first grip. The girl said only the basket went off, without the grip. Joy corrected her: No, I haven’t even call for the grip yet!
The last game is Korokoro viking!
The guest team is going first!
There’s only a 29 point score difference!
Akiyama does another gag...
Apparently the guy appeared in a commercial as seen in the cut.
Sho thinks that the combination of Joy and the guy in green won’t work out well. Guy in green: Sakurai-kun you think so? I think so too!
Game start!
30 points for the first ball!
the 2nd ball gets 50 points!
And 50 points for the 3rd ball as well!
Aw, the golden ball only made it into the 20 point zone though
And another 50 points!
10 points this time round
Last golden ball now...
Sadly the no 50 points for the last ball. If it did make it into the 50 points zone, arashi would be in big trouble!
They finish up with 240 points!
Its Arashi’s turn now! Can the Chinen Ohno combo perform?
They need to get 270 points and above to win! Seems kinda hard considering their performance lately… last week was what… 25 points?
Of course, the MC has to remind everyone that as regular players Arashi has to deal with the -30 points block.
Sho has a confession to make! He is kind of from Gunma. During the summer and winter holidays, he’ll return to Gunma.
He talks about appearing in the card game competition or something that one of the guest had took part in… and he knows about the food there as well… he doesn’t know all the sentences in the card game, but he has it at home. 
J and N: Souka…*looking disappointed*
J: Honestly I’m completely at a loss now
S: Sorry i didn’t say it. I thought of it during the bowling though
S: I though of it when i was doing the “za seto kai ten shiyagare"
And now that the confession is over, Sho shifts back into the MC mode. S: I think at the end the most important thing is for the two of you to patch up your relationship. N: I think Chinen was quite sad you know? A: I think so too... throughout this whole day...
O: Ja, lets combine our strength together. (Chinen) don’t have to do so much, I’ll do it.
Can the two of them really work together and achieve victory?
They start to show the erm… series of unfortunate events that happened to Chinen all day… first was scoring 0 points in kicking sniper...
And then making the tower collapse in rolling coin tower...
And then failing to hit the red pin...
And finally falling off the cliff climb wall… not a single good performance all day!
Can he do well with Ohno at the very end?
Game start!
50 points for the first ball! Lets hope they can keep this up! The -30 point zone is worrying ne? ><
10 points for the 2nd ball… so far so good...
50 points for the 3rd ball, nice!
The golden ball is here! If they can nail this the chances of a win is pretty high...
And they did! Wow! Its been ages since we last saw Arashi play so well! (or so seriously, or both)
Just avoid the negative zone...
10 points this time round. Ohno isn’t trying too hard for the 50 points zone, they hardly stop and wait for the bridge’s movement, but rather just go with the flow… I think that’s why they’ve not gotten a single negative points so far… 
50 points! Last golden ball left… anything but the negative zone...
10 points zone for the last ball!
Ohno’s like *opps* we missed the 50 points zone :P
They wait for the MC to announce their score...
290 Points! They’ve won!
They did it! Chinen finally had a good performance XD
He looks absolutely delighted.
The MC asks Chinen how was it. C: Yappa Ohno-kun sugoi! All I did was really… I just supported the handles! Ohno-kun did all the work!
J: Indeed that’s what a sempai is to do
O: I have always admired you
Kakkoii leader XD
And so arashi won today’s VSA!
Sho asked Chinen was he felt about today. C: A lot of things happened, but really, Ohno-kun is the best in the world!
Oh-chan is pleased XD
10 second challenge time!
All 5 of them bowl together, can they get a strike?
It looks really cramped up there
Game start!
Ohmiya balls collide...
Sakumoto collides too...
Challenge end!
J’s ball that came after rthe 10 sec is over didn’t hit any pins either… aw...
Challenge failed! Too many cooks spoil a broth… too many bowling balls and they can’t even get the red pin! :P
MC: A last word from Ohno-kun please
N: Gomen!
