(TL note: shirt says “which name do you like?” with the options (L-R) Daa-san, Daa-chan, Daaishi, Ayumin, Ishipro and Ishida-san.)

Now this is funny.

She knows we’re calling her Daa-chan?

8:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/20(木) 20:59:38.46 ID:0
Hey, you were the one who said you’re fine with “Daaishi”. I haven’t forgotten.

The song, the members, the MV, the sales…

13:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/17(月) 04:04:06.05 ID:0
It’s an undisputed, universal masterpiece. It breathed life into the dying H!P.

For idol songs that everyone loves even abroad, is One Two Three the only one?

45:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/17(月) 04:53:54.13 ID:0
That’s true about the song being loved globally. Even now those foreign fans are dancing it on YouTube and stuff.

Just how cute can Haruka get?

5:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/14(金) 20:28:01.97 ID:0
She believes in Santa even though she’s a junior high school student?

7:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/14(金) 20:29:10.46 ID:0
Maachan and Kuduu sound like they’re in euphoria when they get to talk about Santa.

Kuduu’s so cute, it’s painful to be alive.

Here’s something I was doing for fun when I got a flounder in my head.

That seaweed strip is Harunan.
Harunan, I’m just playing around so don’t be mad.

I have my beloved school tomorrow.

This was Masaki Sato.

That’s unintelligible.

4:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/04(火) 23:07:27.61 ID:0
Has to be some kind of code language.

12:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/04(火) 23:08:52.16 ID:0
The seaweed isn’t a metaphor for pubic hair, right?

Starts at around 19m 40s.

2:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/01(土) 14:06:42.73 ID:0
That’s way too cute.

9:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/01(土) 14:10:36.22 ID:0
That’s funny.

10:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/01(土) 14:10:52.68 ID:0
Sayashi’s a lot more of an airhead than I thought.

20:名無し募集中。。。:2012/12/01(土) 14:14:59.78 ID:0
I like how the fan is teaching her like she was a chimpanzee. (laughs)

Listening to idols like Kikkawa You or Up Front Girls that Tsunku isn’t involved with makes you realize just how great his songs are

It’s ridiculous how many of Tsunku’s songs leave an impression on you.

2:名無し募集中。。。:2012/11/21(水) 11:51:55.94 ID:0
The others do all sound like fluff.

3:名無し募集中。。。:2012/11/21(水) 11:52:43.30 ID:0
You just think that ’cause you’re a Tsunku fanboy.

4:名無し募集中。。。:2012/11/21(水) 11:53:34.63 ID:0
Kikkawa and Up Front Girls are pretty dull.

6:名無し募集中。。。:2012/11/21(水) 11:53:53.08 ID:0
For the non-wota of today, Tsunku’s stuff sounds so excessively individualistic that it’s tiring to listen to.

10:名無し募集中。。。:2012/11/21(水) 11:54:53.20 ID:0
>>6
That’s actually a pretty accurate way of putting it. (laughs)
