Midtown TV (13.9.2007)

Whoah whoah whoah! The torrent has been out for hours! Where the hell is our summary?!?

Ok. So this week's guests are Ongaku Gatas. Yossie lookes better than ever and Konkon is back on screen. They can be discussing the intricacies of of chosing which ice-tea to order on those vending machines they have over in Japan for all I care. This will be good anyhow.

Just to be accurate here. It's not entire Ongaku Gatas, only Yoshizawa Hitomi, Konno Asami, Korenaga Miki and Noto Arisa are present.

In Nama Yaguchi news we have Koharu Kusumi promiting "Kirarin Revolution Song Selection 2" with a release right about now as well as her latest photobook "Pop". It evidently includes "Miracle shots" in addition to regular photo-shots :P

Back to Ongaku Gatas: They are there among other things to promoto their newest single. Did I mention it rules? If not reload the page until I do. You US-people can even get it on US iTunes. Not so for Norway's iTunes. Meh.

What follows the single-promotion is a little talk where Yossie mentions what she does these days, and how she and Konkon no longer are in Morning Musume.

First question they get is to present their special skills. Konkon answers that for the time being Karate is "chaobi" (茶帯) whatever that means. She gives us a cute demonstration of her skills <3

Korenaga Miki shows off some futsal skills. Well.. Duh! :P

I'm not sure I get the next question, but it seems to be "What do you want to learn/know now?", where Noto Arisa answers "A way of getting up in the morning and not hitting your toes hard". Maybe the average Japanese apartment is more cramped than I was aware of :P

There's a lot of talk, and for those interested, I've made a short transcript of some of the questions and answers at the end. Anyway, it has Konkon talking about food and cookies <3

Uhmm... Mmmmmm... I'm not sure what happened to the rest summary or the screencaps, but I noticed Konkon was back on the screen, and that alone makes it worth a watch. Also, Yaguchi has a cute assistant.

Only thing missing in this episode is Ishikawa Rika for the final round of questions in the home team section: "Your own Charm-point". I'm sure she wouldn't have been able to stop talking here XD

But really though. It was a pretty good episode. For download options:

  • msx has a torrent is over at Hello! Online as usual, but it's the live version, so slightly low quality.
  • lovemusic just posted a slightly bigger direct-download over at JPM.

Update: After checking both, hell yeah the JPM one is better. Get that one. No really.

A quick transcript of the Gatas-questions:

Q: 特技を教えて下さい!

Konkon: 一応…空手は茶帯です

Q: 今、知りたい事は?

Noto Arisa: 朝早く起きる方法と足の小指をぶつけない方法

Q: 今までメンバーに言えなかった事は?

Yossie: 試合中メンバーをあだ名でいえなくて家であだ名を呼ぶ練習をした

Q: 他のメンバーのスゴイところは?

Konkon: 吉澤さんのチャレンジ精神!あっ、石川さんもですね

And finally some screenshots!
