Aired On: April 14th, 2011
I know
that not everybody is happy with the VIP Limousine, since not all of
the members are in the episodes now. This isn't really a deterrent for
me; sure, it's fun to see all of the members together, but I enjoyed
their older shows (like Mago Mago Arashi) where they paired up
for different assignments. And, I guess part of it is also because even
though I have a Sho-bias, I love Arashi for being Arashi - that is, I like all
of the members and so wouldn't boycott particular episodes just because
my bias isn't in it. I suppose it's different for everyone? Anyway,
this episode is Sakumiya, so I do get to see Sho-kun. (^_^) The guest
this time is model/actress Takei Emi, who gets to go with Sho and Nino
on a Korean date.
They
first take her to a Korean grocery store in Shin-Okubo. I'm not sure if
they underestimated the fangirls or what, because the place was swarming
with them. (Hey, isn't that another fun thing about the VIP Limousine?
Stalking them? Haha) Anyway, they tried some sort of Korean melon, which
was hard and not too sweet. Sounds like my kind of fruit! Then they
took her to a cafe where a lot of ikemen Koreans worked. She seemed to
enjoy herself a lot here, but so did Sho and Nino. They introduced three
ikemen, and, er, Sho, and she had to choose the one closest to her idea
of an ikemen (which she had drawn out earlier). Unsurprisingly, Sho
lost. ^^;; Throughout this they talked about her 10 VIP points, which
are basically just trivia about her - one of which stated she wanted to
go on a date in school uniform. So Sakumiya indulged her, of course. In
school uniforms, they headed to a Korean fortune teller. Takei-san had
always wanted to be married at 23, but the fortune teller said that she
won't. Finally, they take her out for yakiniku, which she loves.
The
theater part, I didn't really enjoy as much as the VIP Limousine, but I
guess Sho's proposal was funny. If anyone tried that on me I'd have
laughed and laughed and laughed at them. *not very romantic* Nino's, on
the hand, was really cute. And very creepy. Ahaha.
Maybe I'm just seeing things that aren't there, but I can't help but think that Sakumiya seemed to be leaning
away from her.
Of course, filming outdoors come with challenges... wonder if they anticipated this crowd.
Which is the most ikemen of them all?
In school uniform. Wish that Nino's wearing a gakuran too.
