Mugendai no Gimon 2005.04.05

The intro is quite lovely I think! Nice pictures of the eight, each asking a question or saying something, with a background of space, and a picture of something kinda random (fetus, art, etc.). Much nicer than I make it sound, haha~

Subaru: Where did people come from?
Uchi: How wide is the universe?
Ryo: Why do people argue?
Maru: Why do people love each other?
Yoko: Humans can bring forth questions.
Hina: And by solving those questions, they evolve.
Tacchon: Everything of the future..
Yassu: ...starts with questions

Tonight's theme: plastic surgery.

As a Kanjani fan writing for Kanjani fans, I'm not going to write much about the actual content of the show except for how it relates to Kanjani. The concept of the show is basically: they ask the general public what questions they have about a specific topic, and then try to find the answers to the top three questions. At the beginning of the program, they introduced three questions about Kanjani8 that people had:

(3) Why eight people?
(2) Who's the leader?
(1) What are you aiming for?

Hina asked Uchi about the aims of NEWS, and Uchi said that they're idols (unlike Kanjani8?!), then while continuing to talk, Subaru put his arm around him and kinda..seemed like he was trying to sway his comments~ haha~ Subaru had a cute thing hanging from his hat by the way. And Uchi has a new necklace in addition to his crown one! I wonder what it is?!

Anyway, on with the actual show..^^;

(3) Does plastic surgery ever fail? While reading the question a Michael Jackson song was playing. Um..
Yanai (TV Tokyo announcer) went to talk to a woman about her failed plastic surgery. They didn't show her failed face, but the guys made shocked faces anyway^^; Either that or they looked sympathetic.
Then there were some illustrations telling a story of a woman who got fat removed from around her face, but too much fat had been taken and she had a face like Munch's "Scream."

(2) Does the surgery hurt? A-another Michael Jackson song;;
The doctor said that eyes and nose hurt most if not done properly, but that anything below the neck pretty much doesn't hurt.
Next they followed a 19 year old girl who was going to get plastic surgery on her eyes, nose, and cheeks.. and the scary parts start.. haha^^; They blurred out her eyes, but the guys were surprised about her age, and how cute she was, and how she didn't need to have all that done. While describing the surgeries, Yoko made grossed out faces. Uchi spazzed out when the doctor put eyedrops into the girl's eyes! They're such babies! There was one part where the ENTIRE SCREEN was heavily mosaic-ed, and they all freaked out like crazy. I wonder what was happening;; The nose surgery was about the same. These surgeries are so surprisingly fast! The cheek surgery was a bit longer, and I didn't really understand what they did, but they did something so her cheeks swelled up? Ugh, liposuction grosses me out so bad^^; Subaru and Ryo were unfazed through everything!! Ryo just stared bored, and Subaru seemed more like "uwah~ amazing!!" but not especially grossed out. Three days later they took off the girl's bandages to see the results. Her face did look different, but I think it just made her look older..in a bad way.

In the studio, they tried some surgery-less ways to change one's face. Yoko put on a strange nose thing that's supposed to make your nose higher. Then a long thing for slimming one's cheeks. They all looked so funny trying it!!

(1) How much does plastic surgery cost? (Yes, another Michael Jackson song)
While Yanai was carrying around his mannequin, the top and bottom halves broke apart *g* The most expensive plastic surgery is breast implant surgery, which costs approximately 1,102,500Y. Subaru made a funny "hoeeeee~~" sound while the doctor was talking.

At the end, Subaru told Uchi to go on location, to a pretty place, with flowers *g* Then he scolded Tacchon, Yassu, and Maru for not talking enough. Then it was decided that the three of them would form a "boring" unit LOL.

The subject matter for this episode was fairly deep, but really, I think the show is supposed to be goofy. One of the "experts" they interviewed was a big Doumoto Kouichi fan, and had a bunch of his stuff in her office. Yanai carried around a naked female mannequin a lot. And there was a randomly placed Michael Jackson doll in the hospital. I honestly think the shocking content of this episode was solely for ratings.
