As usual this has been out in the wild for a while, and you might even have it DLed already, but if you want to know what happens in this episode anyway: Read on!

This week Yaguchi is back on the show and she has brought with her an early alpha of the upcoming exo-skeletons we will all be wearing within the next decade. Well, kinda: It's a Toyota i-REAL.

As for the guests this week, you got to be kidding me. It's a Morning Musume 10 years anniversary special with Tanaka Reina, Linlin and Yasuda Kei! This is going to be a hell of a episode :D

Also in Nama Yaguchi News: C-ute promoting a DVD released yesterday.

First thing that happens when the show starts for real and the guests introduce themselves is that Yaguchi and Yasuda start arguing about the "being part of Morning Musume" thing :P

They talk a little, discuss various people in MM and various qualities. Least selfish, most selfish, who have changed the most and so on. Bonus points to Reina for quickly and shamelessly answering Junjun to at least one of these topic :P

Marumaru Ai Kora (I honestly don't recall his proper name) is surprisingly nice and attempts to speak very clear Japanese to Linlin. But ofcourse, when discussing important topics like favourite foods and such, it is important to get the message across!

In the questionary we learn among other things: Linlin's special skill is "Pretending to go up and down escalators". Tanaka Reina has one thing on her mind: Her own future.

With Linlin in the studio we also get a few China/Japan kinda topics, but that's all cool. The whole bunch also got their fortune told, and this drags on for a while but oh well. Am I the only one who thinks Linlin looks kinda like Inou Mao (or at least how she looked in Hana Yori Dango)?

In the home-team section, we have the usual guy: this time as a mo-wota! Good for him, they are playing a Morning Musume Member's knowledge challenge. There's also a Hello! Morning style spot-the-song contest, where they all agree the wota is scary ;)

Good things about this episode: Linlin! :D Bad things about this episode: Since they are all sitting by a table, we don't get to see the usual "skimpy"/yankee Reina, since her legs are all covered up. Anyway: I liked this episode :)

Also for those who don't get Japanese well: Pretty much this entire episode has a Morning Musume soundtrack going ;)

Thanks to msx the torrent is out (live-version), and until Gyao starts taking my mails seriously and opens up for non-Japanese people, I guess that's the best we can hope for.
