No matter which way you look at it,
people who do wotagei at concerts
are not right in the head

1: 名無し募集中。。。 2007/09/27(木) 00:36:02.49 O
Why even come to the concert if you’re not looking at the stage? You’re also a nuisance to the people around you. Leave that stuff to when you’re in karaoke or something.

19: 名無し募集中。。。 2007/09/27(木) 00:43:23.08 0
It’s obvious someone who’s never done wotagei would assume we don’t watch the stage…

12: 名無し募集中。。。 2007/09/27(木) 00:42:31.02 0
I don’t do wotagei as of late. It’s not like I got bored of it or anything… I just started feeling embarrassed doing it all of a sudden, so I stopped.

14: 名無し募集中。。。 2007/09/27(木) 00:43:04.89 0
What goes through your head when you’re doing wotagei? Is it like, “woohoo, I’m supporting them way more than those guys who are just silently watching“?

25: 名無し募集中。。。 2007/09/27(木) 00:44:18.26 0
I once heard some dude say “we’re not here to see the members — they’re here to see us.”

川*^∇^)||< This time I went there in August which is like the hottest time of the year, right? Even though it’s so hot in Japan, as well… so it’s like, why go to Hawaii in the first place!?
川*^∇^)||< … Yep.
(Strained laughter from audience)
川*^∇^)||< “So what? What’s your point?” you might be asking. (laughs)
(Audience laughs)

What is that mysterious number “3”
that’s written on Momoko’s belly button?

1: 名無し募集中。。。 2007/08/27(月) 21:07:00.65 0
I know “666” is the number of Damien, the spawn of Satan, but that’s a “3” on Momoko… what could it mean?

But if you rotate it, the “3” becomes “m”!!!

It means she’s only had sex three times.

23: 名無し募集中。。。 2007/08/27(月) 21:14:21.47 0
It means she can still have sex three times.

Let’s think of good lies to use as excuses for graduating
aside from “bunion“, “modeling ambitions” and
“studying abroad” and send them to UFA

The reasons the office give out have gradually gotten so bad, I just feel sorry for them now. So let’s help out the silly office by coming up with good excuses they can use instead!

3: 名無し募集中。。。 2009/09/19(土) 20:48:45.55 0
“Musical differences.”

There were so many people in the train today when I got in that there wasn’t even room to sit down. And so before I’d noticed it… this older man next to me had started groping me. It pissed me off so much, I just roundhouse kicked him right then and there, and the man flew away by the sheer force of my kick.

 

 

 

… That’s the dream I had yesterday. (・o・) I was unbelievably strong in the dream! I only wish I could become as strong in real life. My roundhouse kick was so smooth, I can still remember the sensation of it. (laughs)

The “older man” is obviously a metaphor for “wota.”
