Theme: Uda Uda Special (clip show / pajama party)

Another fun G no Arashi!! This time, the games they played were all planned by Aiba. It seems weird for them to be in that locker room studio instead of the old one with the big windows, where they could see people in the other building over, and they'd like...communicate by dancing and whatnot.

First, they played "Aiba Sugoroku" (my dictionary says it's "a child's dice game" which really doesn't help, since by watching you can tell at least that), which is a board game thing that Aiba made. The "GOOL" ("goal" for those unaccustomed to Aiba-ese) is to reach the last square, where you with "otoshi-shi-dama" (new year's money; it's supposed to be written "otoshi-dama"). Some of the squares were good (10,000Y sushi from some place), and some were mad (play air guitar on a street corner). One was "Eat the socks of the AD who hasn't bathed in a week!", to which Nino said "I can't eat NORMAL socks.."

First Round (order chosen by janken)
Aiba -- BATSU GAME: pass out tissues on a street corner
Sho -- REWARD: 10,000Y sushi
Ohno -- REWARD: some kind of special Japanese sweets
Nino -- REWARD: 5000Y sukiyaki
Jun -- REWARD: same sweets that Ohno got

CLIP TIME. From A no Arashi, they showed the corn syrup stuff again, and an unaired segment. You know how if you write on a piece of paper with lemon juice, you can't see anything, but when you hold it up to light, the lemon juice parts turn dark and you can read it? Well, Aiba wanted to try doing it with toast. It worked!!

Then they put various things (including shoes, a plate, and weights) on bean sprout seeds to see if the sprouts would raise up the things. They "forgot" to film the progress, so it just looked like shoes on top of a big plastic container of bean sprouts...

Second Round
Aiba -- BATSU GAME: have his face written on
Sho -- REWARD: 5000Y ozouni (New Year's stew stuff)
Ohno -- BATSU GAME: wear a stocking on his head (he had to wear it till the ending!)
Nino -- BATSU GAME: play air guitar on a public street
Jun -- BATSU GAME: play air guitar on a public street

Third Round
Aiba -- BATSU GAME: he had to read "Tokyo Daigaku Monogatari" out loud (I don't know what that is, but it sounded dirty >_>)
Sho -- BATSU GAME: eat AD's socks. since he couldn't actually EAT them, he just smelled them, but he said they really weren't that bad so Jun suggested he smell the guy's shoe, which was apparently NASTY.
Ohno -- BATSU GAME: AD's socks again. they just went straight to the shoe this time
Nino -- BATSU GAME: wear a stocking (they tied the ends of his and Ohno's stockings together)
Jun -- he won the "otoshi-shi-dama"! which was all-you-can-eat crab at a fancy restaurant in Ginza.

[ Sorry, I skipped this part.. speed ball wasn't amusing the first time, and air guitar isn't funny unless you're actually watching it ]

Next, they played "Aiba cards." They spread them all out face-up on the table, then Aiba read off a phrase and the other members had to look for the card that the phrase referred to. For example, "egao wa Arashi no.1 no Aiba-chan" (Aiba-chan whose smile is #1 in Arashi) was a drawing of Aiba smiling, with little sparkles by him, and the other members tiny and in the distance. I liked the "whenever I look at them, Matsujun's eyebrows are thick" one best. Jun made him reread it, but Aiba kinda mumbled and trailed off, scared of Jun's reaction XD Nino won that game, so he got all-you-can-eat shabu shabu at a fancy restaurant in Ginza.

At the end, they completed their final batsu games. In their pajamas, of course. Nino and Jun air guitaring was half lame, half cool. A few girls even stopped and clapped for them. No one would take Aiba's tissues, probably cause he was in pajamas AND had ink all over his face.
