Tsunku♂ Love Theory: “The Clingy Woman”

Posted by Henkka on March 16, 2018
Posted in: Other. Tags: Tsunku♂. 10 comments

When you find a guy you like, check his clinginess level first!

We’ve all seen a scene like this on some TV drama. There’s a couple who are on a date.

“Yujiiiii! Buy me an ice cream!”
“Okay. Wait here.“

The guy goes and buys some ice cream. They then have it together as they walk past shop windows with the girl going “look, how cute are those clothes?!” That scene. The super flirty, head-over-heels couple fawning on one another, not a care in the world for anyone who might see them.

Let’s be honest: people admire that kind of thing.

That includes me: if I was going out with some fresh, short-haired girl, I bet it would be so much fun going on dates like that. Even just imagining it makes my heart race. She would cling onto my arm… and in my mind she would be a bit of a smaller girl, so when I would poke fun at her for something she would laugh all cutesy-like. “He he he.“

But I could never be able to have a date like that. Why? Because I fundamentally have a dark personality. The few times in my life that I have been with girls like that, they were all cutesy and charged-up when I first met them, but as they kept being around me they would gradually turn less and less so. I guess darkness is contagious.

#464 Sashimeshi Ishiguro Aya & Ikuta Erina, part one

Ishiguro and Ishida have a conversation at about the 14-minute mark.

Ishiguro: My eldest daughter really likes you. She was showing me all these Morning videos on YouTube, and some of them were these “Funny Daaishi Feeling” videos.

Ikuta was laughing out loud with the words “Daaishi Feeling” coming out of Ishiguro’s mouth.

Oda-chan: “If you were to compare yourself to when Nakazawa-san used to describe you as “incredible” versus Sato-san right now, who do you think is worse?”
Tsuji-chan: “Maa-chan is pretty incredible.”
Maa-chan: “I don’t want to be told that by you!“

To think the day would come that we would actually get to see an exchange like this. #morningmusume17

Sakura: “I have a question for you, Tsuji-san. I’ve heard about Nakazawa-san complaining how difficult you used to be, so who would you say is worse: you or Sato-san?”
Tsuji: “Oh, Masaki-chan is way worse.”
Maa: “I don’t want to be told that by you!!“

Maa-chan insisting that at least she’s not as bad as Tsuji-san. #morningmusume17

Musume Budokan MC, Nono-tan vs. Maa-chan, part 1.

Oda: “Tsuji-san, Nakazawa-san has previously said that you used to be quite the handful. In your opinion, who do you think is worse: you back then, or Sato-san right now?”
Tsuji: “That’s got to be Maa-chan.”
Sato: “You were way worse!“

171219 Radio NEO “HELLO! DRIVE! -Harodora- TUESDAY” Natsuyaki Miyabi, Nihei Yuuka, Ogata Risa

Question from Kawamura Ayano: “what would you do if you woke up to find that you were the only person left on Earth?“

Ogata: So there would be no one else? But then what meaning would there be to life?
Natsuyaki: (laughs)
Nihei: Fair enough. (laughs)
Ogata: I mean, even if you were alive, there would be nothing to it… So I would think, “why even bother then?”
Natsuyaki: Well, you’re right in that there’d be nothing there…
Nihei: It might be pointless to keep living.

Also, the times when I’m listening to music. That’s another thing that really relaxes me.

Speaking of which: Acid Black Cherry is the only music I listen to as of late. I like to listen to their songs on shuffle, but no matter which song comes on they all get me so fired-up! Ahhh… Does anyone want to talk about them with me? (laughs)
