外国人のお笑いブログ

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. [:
