Tonight is everyone's favorite night, SMAPxSMAP night! I think I explained the phenomenon that is SMAP in an earlier post, if not, use wikipedia. SMAPxSMAP (pronounced 'smasma') is SMAP's weekly TV show where they have various famous people on the show, talk about stuff, do comedy sketches and finish the show off by doing a performance with another famous musician. One time they had Stevie Wonder on the show and they sang a group duet with him. Stevie played the keyboards and SMAP danced. Stevie couldn't see them, which I guess was for the better. SMAP are getting kind of old so they're like 35 year olds dancing around like teenage N'Sync kids. They also have pretty terrible Japanese accents when singing so it was kind of painful hearing them trade verses with Stevie, who can push the limits in his own right ('Isn't She Lovely' is a marathon sanity check). Tonight they performed with some dance troupe and it was kind of weird.
Coming up next is Ainori! Hooray!
So, this week's Ainori is about the group's activities in the Dominican Republic. The big theme of the show is Bambi's 'Water Diet' that she's following in an attempt to get skinny and get over her unfounded hatred of herself and her body. Mind you she's perfectly normal sized, but somehow got it into her head that she's hideous and needs to lose weight. So everyone's in the DR, and the food is really good, but Bambi is trying to restrain herself at each meal by only drinking water. Some kind of drama goes down bc DR tap water isn't safe to drink so Bambi would have to buy all of her water, which would be kind of expensive. So Bambi ends up giving in and by general consensus pigs out at the next couple of meals. The group gets together and has an intervention with Bambi, and she comes forward with her problems to the group, and one of the guys says something that makes Bambi get all emotional, causing her to hyperventilate and die on camera. Well she didn't die, I was lying, but you can imagine how uncomfortable that would have been. Anyway, not much happens with the Sanchan-Bambi connection, but I think the new guy Oga, through his genuinely nice personality and demeanor, is inadvertently pushing Sanchan out of the picture. Bambi was super-impressed when he picked up a fly and through it out of the Love Van, and was an all-around giggly flirty ditzy girl the rest of the time they were together. Luckily for Sanchan, Oga doesn't really seem to have an overt interest in Bambi, so maybe she'll have to settle for Sanchan. We shall see next week!
