Midtown TV (15.11.2007)

2007.11.16 - Jostein

Ok so I'm kinda late on this one, but deadlines are deadlines. Plus the seeder for this torrent kinda disappeared for half a day or so before I managed to complete. I'm sure I can make up more excuses, but lets not waste time on that :P

Here's this weeks somewhat condensed summary which should cover the basics!

Guests this week are Kosaka Yuka (小阪由佳), Gravure Idol awarded Miss Magazine 2004. Also Toyooka Masumi (豊岡真澄), a railroad idol. In Nama Yaguchi News we have the new H!P-project Shouri no Big Wave (featuring Niigaki Risa, Koharu Kusumi and some H!P kids), promoting their themselves.

Kisaka Yuka is not there merely to promote regular small things, she literally has a huge poster, making the hosts scream "Oooh! Sugoi!", and yeah, it's one of those kind of calenders. She does have a DVD being released 25th called "Kosakaism".

The railroad idol seems to be explained later on. Evidently she is some sort of poster-girl for public transport. She is showing off different kinds of pulic-transport ticket types, like Suica Passmo cards and whatnot. All while wearing a typical train-driver's hat. The hosts are bewildered and amazed by what she has to tell. To sum it up: No combined train & bikini shots :P

This is no doubt absolute rubbish and beyond silly, but for some reason it's still fun to watch. No really! At least once we are done in studio and get to the at-location segment. Not the things covered are that interesting, but it's just the way she presents things. She seems to enjoy it very much, so I'm just happy to watch ;)

Every now and then in the at-location she hands off a question to the hosts, and evidently these are difficult questions. Uhm.... Shouldn't public transport be simple? :P

No time wasted on fortune telling this week! Yatta!

Not sure what really happens at the end, with the challenge and all, but it's supposed to be related to or be the making of a commercial or something. I'll just call it "Fun with nurses", if that's OK with you guys. It's astonishingly insane and absolutely watchable. You don't even have to take my word for it. Yaguchi is laughing so badly she almost starts crying :D

We also get a cooking-showdown and, yes, they even let that guy cook. Dish in question is Onigiri :P

Not off the charts or anything, but I still thought this was a little better than average. Rated 4.

On a sidenote: I've seen some of the episodes from the other weekdays (when Yaguchi isn't hosting it), and this show is pretty good. If I could stream it, or this was seeded daily, I'd ptobably watch it.

And least but not last: Screenshots and Mr. msx's torrent!
