I love you, so I definitely won't forgive you

I'm spacing out while watching late night TV
Nothing's going into my head
There's no good reason to keep it a secret
I'm not going to allow myself to fall into sadness
Give me back my time

Everyone says that it was "only once"
Even so, I can't forgive you
I love you so much that it's useless
My heart is transparent

I've come to hate you - where is the enjoyment in this?
Even so, I still won't forgive you
My heart is without a destination
Spinning and spinning, it's a merry-go-round

However
With what sort of intention
With what sort of reason
Did you flirt with that person?
No No No No Don't touch me
Looking back on it - it's pointless

I took off all my false nails
These aren't cute at all
I don't want to listen to that fellow's desires
I want to hate you
Give me back my tears

No matter how many times you call
I don't want to go out
Even just talking, my body refuses
I don't know what would be good

The phone keeps on ringing and I'm getting annoyed
Moreover since I won't forgive you
No matter when, you'd only look at me
Didn't you promise that?

Look
With what sort of face
With what sort of spirit
Did you flirt with that person?
No No No No It's impossible
I left in that ambience - it's pointless

I'm spacing out while watching late night TV
Nothing's going into my head
There's no good reason to keep it a secret
I'm not going to allow myself to fall into sadness
Give me back my time

I took off all my false nails
These aren't cute at all
I don't want to listen to that fellow's desires
I want to hate you
Give me back my tears

Notes: It's almost gender-neutral, except for two points:
1. The fake nails suggest that it's most likely from a female POV
2. "Did you flirt with that person?" - The word used for 'that person' is 'anoko', which I think is generally used for girls or small boys.

So it's a story of a person who's just got her heart broken - because her lover was checking out another person. Slightly possessive that.
Still, I can imagine RihoRiho getting so worked up about not being the sole object of her partner's desire that she wouldn't forgive her partner (or even herself) that she feels hurt from it. Ah, RihoRiho, such an M.

Stil, I like the arrangement of the song - it's partly minimalistic, and when it builds up, it matches the emotion. Lovely piano backing. And harmonies. Knowing the lyrics adds even more depth.

Airi's unexpected meeting

Airi was coming back from Loft in Shibuya when the person in front of her dropped her lipstick.
When Airi called out to the girl, the girl turned as it turned out that she unexpectedly was a fan of Airi.
"Are you Airi-chan? I'm a fan!" She even had photos from Airi's PB (Not swimsuit photos - Momo asked)
And on that day, the girl came to an event.
So to Airi it was like a coincidental meeting in a drama.
Momo: She's probably listening
Airi: Konnichiwa! Are you listening?

Airi - because my writing is bad I applied to U-Can

{Note: U-Can is a correspondence school, I believe. I'm guessing that it's expensive based on how the girls are reacting)
{Note2: I also checked out some of the advertisements. Apparently Yokoyama Yui from AKB passed a U-Can course. I also saw an advertisement for a pen, but the girls are definitely talking about an application}

Momo: Is there anything you have yet to do this year?
Airi: Entering university, for the first time in my life, I was told by some friends that my writing is bad.
Momo + Miya: Eh? Really?
Airi: That really gave me a shock. But obviously, up until highschool you mainly write with mechanical pencils, right? Relatively? Or pencils
Airi: But since I've had to write more with a ballpen, and I'm pretty bad with ballpens
Airi: So, even now I'm still using mechanical pencils. Being told that my writing with a ballpoint was bad gave me quite a bit of a shock
Airi: And you know, 3 people said that. And everyone who told me that had really nice writing
Momo: Did their writing look like they studied penmanship?
Airi: That's right, I was thinking that it would be great if I could become an adult who write skilfully
Airi: I applied for U-Can
Miya: Eeeeeeeeeeh
Momo: Ooooooooooh
Airi: I applied for U-Can's ballpen writing course
Momo: To that extent?
Miya: Eh! Isn't that amazing?
Momo: You were that shocked! Is your pride that great?
Miya: So great lol
Momo: It can't be that bad
Miya: It's definitely nice
Airi: When only one person said that to me, I was like "so there are people like that, it's alright"
Miya + Momo: Yup yup
Airi: But being told that by three people, wouldn't that shock you?
Momo: Yeah, but Airi, it isn't all about how it looks right, your writing
Miya: Yup
Momo: Isn't that a bit too prideful?
Airi: But I stopped at (applying for) a cursive writing course
Momo + Miya: Yup
Airi: Because a friend asked me to do it together...I was requested
Momo: Eh
Miya: He
Airi: She went Hajimete no U-Can! Hajimete no U-Can {The first U-Can: Guessing that this is U-Can's tagline}
Momo + Miya: I see
Airi: Well, I don't know
Momo: You were thinking that if you could do it you might as well
Airi: No, no, I applied but... it hasn't been delivered yet
Airi: So, when it gets delivered, I think I'll try it out *mumble mumble*
Momo: Well that's alright
Miya: Yup
Momo: We'll support you
Miya: Amazing
Momo: We'll support you, but you know, if you say that your writing is bad, then our writing is unreadable
Miya: That's dangerous. Let's end this
Momo:  It's a sign, a sign lol
Miya: A sign lol Definitely lol
Airi: Thats not the case
Airi: It's just, for my enjoyment
Miya + Momo: Amazing
Miya: Such motivation
Airi: Hajimete no U-Can
Momo: Well for me, when I had to do my practical teacher training last year
Momo: I'd have to write on the blackboard in front of all these kids right?
Miya: Ah, that would be the case, right, right
Momo: So, my bad writing habits, I thought that I need to fix it
Momo: So, of course I thought I'd try U-Can
Momo: But in the end it was different, I thought that it wouldn't be good to rely on U-Can, I bought a notebook with the 100 most common  kanji and practiced with that
Airi: How admirable
Momo: That was what I started with. U-Can is a bit...
Miya: A-ha lol
Momo: That was a sly a-ha
Miya: Right?
Airi: Of course that was good
Momo: But it's amazing isn't it? That motivation, the desire to improve
Miya: Amazing, we'll support you
Momo: We have to learn from you
Airi: But I don't know if I'll continue. Since I'm not the type who can maintain a joutnal
Momo: You'll continue, you'll continue
Miya: Continue! Continue!

Nacky in brown

Sato: Nakajima-san, wasn’t there a time when you coloured your hair brown? Aren’t you going to go back to brown?

Nakajima: I tried out having it brown for about 2 months. But it seemed that I went over the line (lol).
But among the fans, there are a lot of them who prefer the pure type.
When I dyed my hair brown for a while, they went like “Ah, is that what you’re going for?”. For me, that was pretty scary. Fundamentally, I’m a timid person (lol).
Besides, since it fits me, I definitely ended up settling with black.

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.
