This week we have two guests: Yamaguchi Akiko (山口成子) and Yamazaki Masayasu (山崎雅保). Besides old, I have no idea what or who they are.

After the opening email, Haruki quickly moves onto something more interesting: Nose-hair. He talks quite a bit about this, and have even brought illustrations to help bring his point across. He has a few interesting theories on how this thing with nose-hair works, and we are paying attention. And so is Yaguchi.

You may never have thought that the day would come when Yaguchi firmly holds Haruki's nose-hair in her hands, saying it is awesome, with Haruki having to to say "You can't have it". Heck, most people probably thought that day wouldn't ever come. Well... Turns out most people were wrong.

Totally related to nose-hair, this week's movie is a new Doraemon movie. As usual Yaguchi can't say enough about how wonderful Doraemon is :P And if you live in Japan there evidently is a 3 hour Doraemon special on March 21st.

After this the guests are introduced. They are into something looking very much like model railroads. Just without the trains and mostly without the rails and with some added sand and random figurines to make up for just that. I might be dismissing and underestimating something highly cultural and distinctly Japanese here, but I'll take my chances.

Yaguchi and Haruki sets up a landscape using the resources at hand, and has to tell a story explaining what their setup is all about. Haruki sets the bar high with a very touching story. Afterwards the guests have a say in this as well. Yeah. Not that exciting.

In the weekly entup corner, this week's featured movie is The invasion.

For the games this week, Maimai has let Kasai Aiko (葛西愛子) invade the studio. Or forced her. It's not easy to tell really. She is evidently in charge of the studio props and gadgets for the show, and also known as "Super AD". She doesn't seem too accustomed to being on TV herself though ;)

Yaguchi and Haruki are given their task: Guess what celebrity she has been told to resemble. Nothing too mind-blowing here, but check out Yaguchi's list of suggestions. Also Yaguchi pretty much defines the game here when she gets to know what it is all about: "Oh that will be difficult!" :D

At the end, we also get a short promo snippet for "Fure fure Shoujo", a planned country-wide roadshow, going from September. For those interested: It features Aragaki Yui and in quite a different role than what she had in Galcir ;)

So... How do I rate this? It wasn't bad, but at the same time far from excellent. I'll make this one of my rare 2s. Live with it! :P

Screenshots and torrent as usual.
