This week's ultra-short summary: Yaguchi pimps her voice-acting job, featured movie looks boring, they have a bus-guide as a studio guest and there is no Maimai to be seen. Why on earth am I giving this one a good rating?!?
So the show starts and Yaguchi tells us about her heart's most earnest desire (念願, nengan): Doing voice-acting (声優, seiyuu). This coincidentally times well with the cinematic release of Journey to the center of the earth (25th October, this week). Haruki asks if Yaguchi's role (役, yaku) is the center of the movie. It isn't :P
But it's a 3d movie, hence cool, and Yaguchi does her best to give Haruki an impression of what that is like. Since it's "Yaguchi's movie" there's some talk around this one. Haruki makes Yaguchi feel slightly embarrassed about things ;)
We move on to this week's real featured movie: Maboroshi no Yamataikoku (まぼろしの邪馬台国), premiering November 1st. A very loose translation of the title would be "The visions of ancient Japan". Seems like a social commentary and drama about a blind person, and Haruki visibly yawns while watching the preview. :P
They talk about the movie, beautiful landscapes etc etc. Haruki somehow suddenly brings up underwear (下着, shitagi). Notice his massive grin as he catches Yaguchi completely off guard :D
There's some talk about the whereabouts of Yamataikoku. You can clearly see Yaguchi reading a script here, as she introduces someone more knowledgeable about the subject: the guest, Toutokanko-bus's bus-guide Arizumi Mayako (有住麻由子). So, yeah, a frikkin' bus-guide!
This could easily have been zzzzzzzzzzz, but there are some good movements here. She speaks clearly, concisely and about what being a bus-guide involves, and how speaking casually totally is not a good plan in a job like that.
You can tell this woman is a guide, by the fact that she probably wouldn't be able to talk if she had her hands tied up on her back. Just trust me: Watch this episode and you will know what I mean :D
The guest is only 18 years old, or so it seems. Haruki is mostly concerned about how she can't drink alcohol. While she explains how she would turn a customer down if offered such, Haruki is all about how she should use those fancy, polite guide-skills to humbly accept ;)
She also shows off a few jokes she likes to do at work. Some are quite funny, and even Haruki is impressed!
As we finish off Yaguchi and Haruki is given a guided tour around their own studio :P
Also featured is Be kind Rewind, in a brieg Entertainment flash. Japanese title is Bokura no mirai e kukaiten (僕らのミライへ逆回転).
No idea what going on next week, but it looks spectacular :D
Ah yeah. Torrent too.
