As mentioned in this post, Jaru Jaru & Total Tenbosu appeared on the show School Revolution (スクール革命)!

I watched it today and it was pretty interesting.

One thing I didn't mention in my previous post (because I didn't realize it until later) was that Uchimura hosts it as well! I was pretty excited to see that.

Jaru Jaru & Total Tenbosu were featured as "Break-out Geinin." They were asked questions regarding that, and also showed their busy schedules.

The two acts each have eight regular shows in between them! On a funny note, Total Tenbosu didn't even recollect two of the shows listed.

A typical schedule for Jaru Jaru includes bouncing back and forth between Tokyo and Osaka by bullet train and plane. Sounds tiring!

However, they spoke of their success and steady schedules in good spirits. Of course though - who doesn't want to be busy in their career?

When asked how they finally decided to join NSC, Fukutoku explained that they sent text messages to each other, making the pact to go for it. Looking back at what they said (something about 男気, chivalrous spirit) it sounds really uncool.　It's okay, they were fiery young men. 大丈夫だと思います！（笑）

Another funny Jaru Jaru moment was a story by Gotou, where he mentioned how his younger brother got a job with ANA. ANA is large airline company in Japan.

Well Jaru is the pronunciation of JAL, another airline company. Whether that's where Jaru Jaru got their name, I'm not sure and it's not relevant.

Anyways, his mother was like, "You're ANA and you're brother is JAL," and laughed a lot at her own joke apparently. Moms. ^^;;

Afterwards, I believe they followed the next corner up explaining how Ohmura from Total Tenbosu plays pranks on his partner, Fujita.

So they showed two of the pranks. One was where he put sparkler fireworks in his cigarettes. The other was when he covered the floor with lubricant so he'd slip. If he goes through that all the time - that is quite amazing!

So then it became a showdown!

Jaru Jaru's Fukutoku set up a false briefing for a television apperance that Gotou wasn't aware of. They had a fake manager go in. The catch is - she slapped anyone who disagreed with her! There was a small prank in there too where the profile on the papers given wasn't even of Jaru Jaru - it was of Total Tenbosu. LOL

Anyhow, the ladt ends up slapping Gotou after Fukutoku disagreed about something. He just mildly agreed. ._. 優しい！ It was kind of sad, more so than funny since he didn't get angry. XD

Then, Kasuga played a prank of Wakabayashi. He put a baby pig in his green room! Apparently, Wakabayashi is afraid of pigs. It wasn't anything they stated, but he was jumping on the chair and table to get away from it! Also, Kasuga got tsukommi'd a good 2~3 times! It was great. ^o^

Afterwards there was a section with the regulars that featured nabe! I've never tried nabe yet, but I hope to this Fall/Winter in Japan!

All in all, it was an interesting show. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't so good that I'd watch again - lest another group of geinin I like appear. [:

Poor Yatabe, all alone!

Today's Ame Talk report is about the recent ○○Jyanai Hou Geinin SP.

To explain these Jyanai Hou episodes - several groups has the member or members who stand out. Whether it be their gags, facial expressions, or looks.

These geinin are the total opposite. The "Regular Johns" of their respected groups.

These are the Jyanai Hou Geinin.

On the initial Jyanai Hou SP, Hannya's Kawashima was there. I think we can all say in comparison to Kanada & his characters, he (Kawashima) does get a bit overshadowed.

I do love Kanada & his gags! However, I can't help but feel bad, or even sad for their overlooked partners.

On this 2010 Edition of the SP, we see some familiar faces from the line-up I was able to find, as well as some new members. The members are,




Proof that these guys do get looked over was first realized by myself. I had to look up the majority of their names, save for Wagaya & Fruit Punch. Sorry, guys! This has opened my eyes.

 Here are some of their stories of being overshadowed!

"We (Garage Sale) have been introduced as, 'Gori & company!' (「ゴリさんたち、おねがいします～」)" (Garage Sale, Kawata)

"It took them around ten minutes to remember my name." (Dangerous, Yasuda)

"I got mistaken for a regular otaku." (Tenshin, Mukai)

"The sound guy forgot to give me a pin mike." (Doki Doki Camp, Satou)

"A couple mistook me for Xabungle's Matsuo." (Hiking Walking, Matsuda)

"My manager has mistaken called me Gorita (ゴリ田さん)" (Garage Sale, Kawata)

"A student recognized us in a restaurant and asked to shake our hands. Shortly after, I went to the restroom and the same student I shook hands with told me, 'Wagaya is right over there!'" (Wagaya, Yatabe)

Sad, right? Lesson learned - learn about all members of your favorite groups! They feel bad. ]:

Rough Translation of the above article below!

January 10th was the release date for Audrey's new DVD, "Audrey's All Night Nippon." They held a commemorate event at Tower Records in Shibuya in honor of it.

The event was capped at 150 lucky people who won when they bought the DVD.

The program started in October of 2009 and has since met considerable success.

At the event, they also engaged in two popular corners from the radio show, 100ギネスを持つ男 and アメフトの小部屋. ¹

At the end, Audrey told the guests, "We'll continue doing All Night Nippon with this feeling, so please send us listener mail."

1. I wasn't sure how to translate these without making no sense. Roughly it's like "Man with 100 Guinness," and "American Football Roomette."

I guess what confused/confuses me is...they film radio shows? Why not show it on TV? Might be my simple mind though - it's on radio for a reason. XD

This just in from Owarai Natalie!

Watanabe Entertainment - known for such talents like Lotti, Wagaya, Angles, Xabungle, and more - are partering up with the popular Japanese blogging site Ameba.

WE!Owarai (Watanabe Entertainment! Owarai) will be Ameba powered blogs for WE's popular owarai talents.

It's just now being announced (as far as my knowledge, anyhow) but after looking at Lotti's blog, there are entries as far as December 2009. So perhaps a proper opening was being carefully planned. [:


Speaking of blogs, I already follow quite a few Yoshimoto blogs, as well as other geinin I like via Laff Blog so I'll try and post information from their blogs as well.

I'm supposed to be sleep but I really wanted to see this show & I'm not sure if it'll be uploaded to streaming.



From what I gather, various geinin will be performing hit songs This is already kind of like, "What...?" because they're geinin, not singers. That's why I felt the need to check this out.

Not to mention that Fruit Punch, Shizuru, and Oriental Radio are both on the Dance Team! I love dancing & I love those 3 conbis so if anything - I want to see them! [:

Other Groups/People of Interest
FUJIWARA
Nadagi Takeshi
Maeda Maeda
Morisanchuu
and a lot more.

A preview just came on and someone's doing Michael Jackson. ._.

I already knew they were doing Arashi & EXILE - another reason I decided to watch. XD It's hosted by Tutorial and London Boots 1/2. Interesting. [: I saw Hibiki just now? By they aren't on any team...late addition perhaps?

OH! 1st Battle is Dance Battle. LonBoo Team is who I'm rooting for apparently, because that's the FuruPon/O-Raji/Shizuru Team. They're the ones doing EXILE! Choo Choo Train. /terrified

Wait a second, there's no Shizuru! Just a cutout of them? How does that work?!

AH GOD, Tutorial Team is doing Arashi's Believe! FUJIMON = MATSUJUN APPARENTLY! HAHAHA. Nadagi is reluctantly Shoukun, not because he doesn't want to be but he was like, "Who's left? Oh, them I'm Shoukun."

This is going to be scary. Oh Oh oh oh its starting!!! MuraJun and Shingo are ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO! I APPROVE! HAH, oh man. The facial expressions! <3 THAT WAS FANTASTIC, holy moley!!! I'm so proud of them!

So Chu-to Team is arguing, "Well that was a VTR. It's not nearly as impressive as if you do it live in studio." I think they just asked MuraKen to do it to see the difference, he was rather stoic.

OH LORD, they're doing Believe. Okay, in comparison to LonBoo Team, um. Lackluster. Not nearly as much enthusiasm.

O____O HOLY CRAP NADAGI IS DOING THE SAKURAP! SO impressed, so so impressed! That was the best part though. ._.

Ah okay. In this case its like -Young Geinin vs Veteran Geinin.

HAHAHA YES! LonBoo Team Won! That's right, my boys! ;__; Not even the fact that it was VTR, they were just better! Like, I was kinda blown away. I was expecting fail, ngl. Great surprise!

少年少女 | 嵐の日常 

When in Japan last summer, I got the lucky chance to buy two issues of Owarai Popolo (お笑いポポロ). However, I went to Los Angeles recently to take the JLPT-3級 exam.

When I went to this Japanese magazine store to try and buy "December's issue," they told me they didn't have it. I thought, "Hmm...what's up with that?" Then they told me it's like a quarterly magazine. /orz

So now that it's January, there's a new issue! For February, no less. LOL

When I first saw that Yoshimoto was doing this whole "Comedy Boy's School" deal, I was admittedly like, "OU! I WANT STUFF!" Still am. [:

Vol. 2 of this special magazine is out, featuring Jaru Jaru and NON STYLE on the cover.

Basically it looks like a Yoshimoto-specific idol magazine. Think Myojo or Wink Up. In this volume there's spreads featuring,


Sounds very idol like to me. [:

Other Features:





★ NON STYLE 10th Anniversary 
O_O They only got their break at M-1 in 2009? Jesus.

Let's talk about W村上 for a minute! W村上 is the new special unit consisting of Kenji Murakami (Fruit Punch) and Jun Murakami (Shizuru) - hence W村上! I for one am very happy to see something finally done with these two being on similar shows and stuff but have no silly group in-between them! They're my favorite members of their respected groups too! Yoshimoto Shop also released a clear file with W村上 on it! WANT.





★ Jaru Jaru Pajama STRAWBERRY TALK

What will this be...O_O

I honestly know nothing about this show. Younger Johnny's host it. HeySayJump, B.I. Shadow. JE is my other large fandom. However by JE I mean, "Arashi, Kanjani 8, and TOKIO." Anyone else pretty much goes under my news radar.

Audrey and  Hironari Yamazaki (山崎弘也) of the group Untouchable (アンタッチャブル) are hosts as well. Audrey really are apart of a lot of shows, huh??

Seeing that Jaru Jaru very rarely appear on anything though, this may something I go out of the way to watch. I've seen two Jaru Jaru apperances.

1. Shabekuri 007
2. 99Plus w/ Shizuru

Both of which were entertaining, but I was more struck with, "It's Jaru Jaru! Not on Red Theater! Amazement!" than anything!

I know they have a local show in Kansai. Which means that unless some kind soul decides to record it, foreign fans like myself are screwed. Then again, even Kanto region fans are screwed! So I can't complain much.

Seeing that it gets uploaded to my owarai source, I will happily be able to watch it! Not to mention, Johnny's media is not very hard to find now! I see some back episodes with people I know so I may check out an episode or to before Jaru Jaru's. [:

This Shizuru skit is hilarious. So simple - total like...Shizuru Style. LOVE THEM.
