Athletes' Thanksgiving Festival Part 1
Jan. 7th, 2008 09:46 pmI like Arashi. I like sports.
Therefore, I should blog about this.
Also, I figure it might be nice for those who haven't seen it or have seen it and didn't understand it. (...wonder if that applies to anyone...)
And Skyura said I should if I want to. So there. Hahah!
I took a lot of screencaps (over 30, I think) so this is definitely going under an LJ-cut - which I hope won't drive me mad when I apply the cut to my entry. -__-
We start off with the introduction of the five teams. And the second time I watched part 1 (to take screencaps), I suddenly noticed that one of the MCs is TOKIO's Kokubun Taichi. (Evidently I'm not a big TOKIO fan, since I didn't recognise him immediately. It just happened that I was looking at the names that came up on screen when the MCs were talking. "Kokubun Taichi... Huh? Wa-aaittt...") The other MC is an Uchimura Mitsuyoshi. There's a lady as well, but I don't recall seeing her name. Oh well. She hardly talks so I suppose it doesn't really matter.
Pretty colours. :D Even without seeing them close up, you can tell which team belongs to which Arashi member. XD The athletes were separated by sport.
Aiba's team - professional baseball, Nino's team - Major League Baseball (I presume this means those who play in the USA's Major League) & soccer, Jun's team - golf, Sho's team - women athletes, Ohno's team - combat sports.
Items of note: Jun's & Sho's were the only teams with women on them. And Sho's was ALL ladies. (Lucky him?) Ohno looked tiny compared to some of his team members...
ANYWAY. Onto the sports. :P
(Okay, I'm getting tired. This is LONG. And only part 1, too... Only two more segments to go!)
And that's it for part 1! No conclusion, because it's only midway through the show (part 1 was like... an hour long?!).
But hopefully someone out there enjoyed reading this... heh.
My personal favourite contests here were badminton and baseball. :P
In part 2 (which I haven't completed watching) there's Jun vs a pro swimmer, more baseball stuff, and a "pressure bowling" competition between the teams! The latter is the best and most entertaining part of the whole show, methinks. Although I was SO tense watching that! Excitement MAX!
Should I summarise/screencap part 2 as well? ^^

UPDATE: I left out a s'cap! How could I?? Uploaded it and forgot about it. "O|¯|_
I took it just because it's Jun. And because there's a lack of Jun (and Sho) in this episode. :P Hopefully I get to make up for that lack in part 2. XD
