riemaynine | FANGIRLING: LOLing at episodes of Himitsu no Arashi-chan! Part 1

I recently watched two episodes of Himitsu no Arashi-chan, and I really found them FUNNY, but CUTE at the same time!

First episode that I watched was the 2 hour SP dated March 31, 2011, having Mannequin Five and VIP Room as the segments featured. Second was dated July 26, 2012, featuring the “Share House” and “If Adult, You must make it” segments.

MARCH 31, 2011

SEGMENT 1: MANNEQUIN FIVE SP

This episode’s Mannequin Five was actually an SP wherein Arashi members battled with one another to pick up clothing pieces to come up with a Springtime Date Outfit to Impress. They rented out Shinjuku Marui Annex to have the said battle. Shinjuku Marui Annex, according to the show, is the greatest men’s fashion building in Shinjuku. Each Arashi member is given 3 hours to shop before the store opens. What’s exciting about this was that the outfits, which would be worn by REAL mannequins (meaning, not Arashi) were ranked by POPULAR VOTE (both by women visitors of TBS’ Akasaka Sacas and internet votes. If I knew that internet voting is available during that time, then I’d definitely vote! Hehe... But I only knew this episode when I had my stable internet connection in 2012.) Whoever gets the last place will be in a billboard ad at that building to promote the show… hmmm…that can be too embarrassing on that loser member’s part! xDD

Here are the outfits that each member had come up

My personal comments about each member’s outfit:

Sakurai: I really found that FURRY helmet a no-no, for me…haha… And he also got the lowest votes…

Ohno: He wore something that a native from a tropical country (such as the Philippines and Hawaii) is usually wearing. Actually, there’s one who commented that the outfit’s like an outfit of “a dandy from the Philippines”, that Nino-kun said that Ohno has that Filipino aura. But what’s amazing was that he drew an outfit he wants to have before picking the ‘pieces’. It took for him quite a while before finding that cherry blossom top. “Those who continue seeking shall find.” Well, he applied a Bible verse in finding that top…

Aiba: What’s with that ripped jeans? Hehe… But I love the M&Ms printed sneakers!

Matsumoto: That outfit is awesome, especially if what you know was that he’s the one who styled or mixed and matched that, but prior in showing that outfit, I just realized that he just copied that style from a mannequin displayed on one of the shops. So he’s a copy cat…

Ninomiya: another copy cat. A sneaky copy cat, because he spied at other members, and picked out the best ‘piece’ in each member’s outfit. And that sneaky copy cat got the most votes. And…it’s really cold in Japan during spring, ne?! (Because of his layered top. He was even compared to an onion having many layers…hehe)

So that means, Sho-kun would be the one who would be on billboard ad…haha…embarrassing! ^o^

And I noticed Nino’s winking! *heart’s *doki doki*
