≪Rules of the “Shiver Game”≫
Once you get into the booth, the member will randomly draw a paper from a box, containing the letters she will write on your back. There will be two levels of difficulty: “difficulty A” which will be two hiragana characters, or “difficulty B” which will be two kanji characters. Once the level of difficulty is determined, you turn around and the game begins. Once the staff gives the signal, the member will draw the characters on your back several times within a time span of 30 seconds.

Once the time is up, please write the characters that were drawn on your back on an answer sheet within 10 seconds. Once you’re done, we will compare your answer to the question sheet. If you get the answer right, you win! You will receive a prize. If your answer is incorrect, you will still receive a consolation prize.

Some people may experience cold shivers when their backs are touched, so please enjoy this “game of shivers.”

※ There will be eight separate booths for the members of ANGERME. Their events will run concurrently.
※ The “event participation ticket” and “member designation ticket” will be given to you along with the product.
※ The members will use a handheld rod to draw on your back.
※ Please understand that when you’re facing away from the member, you will not be able to see her face.
※ You may not choose between difficulty A and B. It will be a matter of luck.
※ Please refrain from talking about subjects unrelated to the game.
※ You will not be able to shake hands or have any other form of physical touching with the member.

I’m going to go in dressed lightly.

What a Showa-like thing to do.

9: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:20:36.29 0.net
This must be easier on the members compared to handshakes.

I want to go!
I want to have Murotan draw on my back.

22: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:21:34.14 0.net
Nakanishi is definitely going to write:

ア
ホ
(Idiot)

13: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:20:59.40 0.net
Wait, they’re going to touch my back with their bare fingers?

29: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:21:47.90 0.net
Obviously not. They’ll use a rod.

Well, crap.

I’m not going to shiver if they’re not touching me directly.

41: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:22:41.99 0.net
They’re just going to have a member of the staff switch places with the member as soon as you turn around.

That’s terrible.

I want Aiai to poke me in the back — hard.

You get a prize?
Yaaay.

106: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:26:46.39 0.net
Oh crap! I was this close to actually applying! But a rod? Screw that.

108: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:26:59.04 0.net
Length of the rod: 3m.

117: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:27:23.76 0.net
Using a rod to draw on our backs?
They don’t even think of us wota as human.

124: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:27:43.20 0.net
I laughed. They’ve reached a new level of silliness. (laughs)

241: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:34:36.21 0.net
I have to turn around? To hell with that! The back of my head would be in plain view!!!

245: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:34:42.58 0.net
They’ll write “ハゲ” (baldie) on your back.

312: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:38:14.19 0.net
You can’t touch them, see them, or even talk to them. You just get poked in the back with a stick. (laughs)

330: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/15(金) 20:39:18.59 0.net

And that’s for the price of 9000 yen.

A true test of loyalty.

Don’t hurt me, Murotan…

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

What sort of damn “circumstances”? (laughs)

6: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:15:39.76 0.net
It’s you guys’ fault for getting so excited about it. (laughs)

8: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:15:48.77 0.net
Did they receive such a huge flood of complaints about it?

9: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:16:00.00 0.net
I guess having them touch you and not the other way around was too much.

4: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:15:18.43 0.net
Who the hell thought of this event in the first place anyway?

12: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:16:09.62 0.net
I bet someone higher up got really angry.

24: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:17:46.00 0.net
I don’t see what the problem was.

25: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:17:55.34 0.net
“Various circumstances?”
Just give us a proper reason.

26: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:17:59.82 0.net
I bet there were lots of guys really looking forward to this.

31: 名無し集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:18:21.84 0.net
I guess some of the members cried about the idea.

35: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:18:44.90 O.net
ANGERME is always like this!

41: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:19:17.04 0.net
Sticking the wota with rods was too much I guess.

47: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:19:50.81 0.net
Well, it’s really not completely safe poking people with rods.

73: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:23:12.54 0.net
There are still some junior high schoolers in the group, too.

78: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:23:39.79 0.net
How are they going to make up for this?
I was really looking forward to it, too…

80: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:24:00.03 0.net
I bet they would’ve had a bunch of trouble with this down the line. Like, fans complaining “I received scratches on my back” or something. They wouldn’t have liked that.

@
160417 Musume, 2-shot with Maa-chan. “Pretend to draw something on my back.” (or, as they call it, “Shiver Game.”)

105: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:27:16.61 0.net

※ Please refrain from talking about subjects unrelated to the game.

It’s as if they’re treating us like slaves.

104: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:26:55.21 0.net
Maybe it had something to do with using a tool to touch fans’ backs.

114: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:28:48.59 0.net
Yeah. Like, you’re legally obligated to have the qualifications for giving professional massages or something.

138: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:31:30.71 0.net
This sort of stupidity is really H!P-like though. I like it.

267: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:50:31.32 0.net
I guess there was the hygienic issue of reusing a rod that touched the backs of sweat-drenched wota.

198: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 14:39:22.80 0.net
Are they unable to think these things through before actually making the announcements?

468: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 15:23:36.73 0.net
And here I was hoping I’d get “スキ” (suki) written on my back…

408: 名無し募集中。。。 2016/04/18(月) 15:12:27.93 0.net
Well, this whole thing did give me the shivers in one sense of the word.
