Asahi's karaoke song selection


{At the ending of each episode of UF Licks, they pick a question from the questionably-named Licks Box (I think for Christmas, they had a Licks Sock, which sounded even dodgier) and they answer the question in the box}

[~36:20]
Reina: Oh! ManoEri!
Asahi: Eh! Amazing!
Reina: A question from Mano Erina-san: When you go for karaoke, what's the song you definitely have to sing? Mine is Mi-san's  "Mirai no Chizu.".
Reina: Which one is Mirai no Chizu? " Suki da yo~...." ?
Reina: And, I get no response. It was something like that.
Reina (pointing to Asahi): Do you go for karaoke? In the first place?
Asahi: Karaoke... I don't really go that often.
Reina: So you don't really do it. So when you do go, is there a song you like to sing?
Asahi: A song I like to sing... Hmm, ah, but when I went with my friends, I sang the national anthem.
Reina: (stunned silence, followed by a smirk)
Asahi (looking around): What's up? What's up?
Reina: Give me sec...
Reina: The national anthem? You put that in for karaoke?
Asahi: Yup, I put it in.
(looks at surroundings)
Asahi: What is it! What's up!?
Reina: Currently there are 1,2,3,4,5,6 staff-sans with huge grins on their faces.
Reina: That's rare.
Asahi: Really?
Reina: It's interesting.
Asahi: Really?
Asahi: Ah, but, I sing enka.
Reina: Wait a sec, give me an example.
Asahi: Of course, I sing Matsubara Takeshi-san.
Reina: Seriously?
Asahi: I sing his songs.
Reina: Try singing a song.
Asahi: No way.
Reina: Just a bit.
Reina: One, two... (claps)
Asahi: " Kono machi ni umare"-
Reina + Asahi: Asahi! {Note: It's not too clear, but I think it's possible that Asahi might be saying 'Tasaki' rather than 'Asahi'}
Asahi: (laughs) Thank you very much. Apologies to Matsubara-san.
Reina: Seriously? That's amazing. So that's how it is. For Reina, what I make sure to sing, I'll definitely sing Morning Musume, and for a change I'll sing Golden Bomber. Recently there's also E-Girls' " Gomenasai no~", or AAA's " Suki da yo to tsutaereba". My genres are gradually getting broader.

Pulling pranks on Momochi



 Moshimo no Dokkiri 131124 


So, the name of the game is to pull one over Momo - they're trying to see if she'll drop her character.

First up, they put her through an interview. They start off with simple questions, and start heading off to more difficult questions to see how she'll cope

What the most interesting show you've been on? - I've got 100% confidence in my face. My own potential scares me
We'd like to know about the true Momochi, how are you normally? - I've always been like this
Are you worried about being criticised by the world? - The people who say that are just jealous
Which entertainer is difficult to get along with? - Kasuga-san from Oodori (one of the people listening in). We've got too many similar points, for example the image colour for both of us is pink
The sales tax increase - Can't do anything because it's for the country. As a student, I don't really have Okanemomochi (money)
What to do to stop wars in the world - Maybe if Momochi says Yurushite-nyan

You'd expect nothing less from Tsugunaga Pro.

Next segment, when Momo goes to introduce herself with her Momochi board to the more senior entertainers, one of them will get mad at her.
The first one she meets responds normally.
At the second one, she drops by as the guy 'happens' to be shirtless.
He looks at the board and is like 'WTF is that? Couldn't you greet us more properly"
Her Yurushite-nyan makes him appear even more pissed, and she freezes up while he starts lecturing her.
Aw~ poor Momo.
He makes her promise to stop using her board when she goes to introduce herself to the last group of senior entertainers. Even her manager steps in to apologise for her.
He does get worried and peeks on her while she's discussing what to do with her manager.

She does still end up using the board - and the 'enraged' comedian pops out.
