Arashi no Shukudai-kun #034

Aired On: May 28th, 2007

The guest in this episode is Suzuki Anne - Ogura-san was really excited to find out that it's an actress. Since she had acted with both Nino and Jun before, Sho asked about her impressions of them. She said that Nino seemed like the type who doesn't think of anything, in the sense that he follows his intuition. Jun, on the other hand, seemed to emit a "hard" aura, like he wants to tell people to stay away. She added that at times he's also really nice, to which Sho commented, "he's the tsundere type, isn't he?" and she immediately agreed. 

 

I love when Jun laughs without reservations, like this ^^

 

 

 

Her homework to the audience was to find rare and spicy ethnic food. They've selected some of the interesting suggestions and gave the food different levels of spiciness, and offered a small tank of iced water for those who needed it.

 

He's just so precious, this man XD

 

The first, a "level 1", is pepe soup from Nigeria. An-chan liked it, while Jun needed ice water after just one sip. Sho found it really spicy, but said that it was good. The second, a "level 2", is brain masala (made from sheep's brain) from Pakistan. It's meant to be eaten with nan bread. An-chan definitely found this very spicy, but she exclaimed that it's delicious. Ogura-san tried it, and was completely fine with it. Jun ate it next; he lasted longer than the first dish. Aiba went for the iced water immediately, while Oh-chan, like Ogura-san, was completely okay with the spiciness.

 

Is it bad that I find his pain so cute...?

 

The third dish, a "level 3" - habanero stuffed with meat, from Mexico. This one looked the tastiest of all the three dishes, to me. Oh-chan was the first to try it, and he didn't have any reaction at first, but suddenly made a face and said that it was very spicy. Sho, too, had a slow reaction, but found it extremely spicy. (By this time I'm really curious and want to try it!) An-chan had it next, and said that it was spicy, but still okay. Jun claimed to have tried it already, but obviously hadn't, so the rest made him try it. He couldn't even speak, it was so spicy. Lol. 

 

Priceless face is priceless.

Jun: ah... cho... ma... XD

 

During the image homework, she revealed that she was in her 2nd year at college, and talked about her major. Ogura-san brought up his own college experience, and how he had been in a band back then - this prompted Jun to remind everyone that Sho, too, was in a band in his college years (ZEUS). An-chan admitted to her love for comedians, so Arashi had set up the An-1 Grand Prix, where a slew of comedy acts performed their sketches for An-chan and Arashi. To tell the truth, I don't get a vast majority of Japanese comedy acts, which made this one of the less interesting episodes for me. (Well, I do like Suzuki Anne a lot, and the spicy food part was fun to watch.)
