Re: Yaguchi Hitori Collection I thought about watching the Blind Date episode, because everybody said that it was awesome, but I'll watch YHC first. Mari and Haruki will never disappoint me... (well, they actually do by not coming back... but anyway).
Let's Limbo.. right now I'm just at the beginning of that segment. But Mari will win the game, she has to. She she's so small, she can nearly walk under the limbo bar with leaning back. Oh well, I was right Mari was really excited about Limbo, wasn't she. And lol at Haruki's dance during the game
Aeroplanes: I had to look up the hattifatteners, because I didn't remember them at all. But there is only a slight resemblance between them and the paper stripes. To me it looked more like fishbones. I loved their "something's wrong with her today"-insert though The fan plane was quite amazing.
Rubik's Cube: I'm surprised that they let them talk that long even though they didn't want to air anything. But great reaction by Mari What did Gamo say while he solved the cube?
Wall-E: I remember the robot costumes from that episode (or some other Wall-E episode), probably one of the first clips of YH that I have seen. Robots are awesome! And Mari-E ist the most awesome one
And now hearing the sounds, we might have had that game as a Kompetition. Those were the times. And I still think that this chicken was fake.
Re: Yaguchi Hitori Collection No one (of normal height) could ever win at limbo against Mari. She's has a massive advantage. A massive small advantage!
I didn't remember those from the Moomins either, but I can see why Mari said it. I first thought that she meant they looked like Moomins themselves, with the thicker ends looking like their heads. Long, stretched out Moomins with their arms and legs cut off.
Moomins was a weird cartoon.
I dunno what Gamo was saying - nothing in particular I don't think, he was just chatting while concentrating!
They actually did leave a lot of his and Haruki's talk in too (I just cut it down) so they must have been talking for AGES.
Will Haruki ever get his certificate back??... Find out next time
This was actually from a different episode to the other robot one. They pretended to be robots when Wall-E was their main film of the week, but after that they continued with it in EntUp. And yep, we had this game as a Kompetition. I still think the cockerel sounds fake too
I think I might change the way of doing YHC to make it easier and quicker. I'll use YouTube annotations as I said before, but instead of making whole episodes I'll just do seperate clips. That means there should be new YH a lot more often, instead of one a month. Loads of stuff to pick from and no time limit to fit them into
Re: Yaguchi Hitori Collection What kind of show has this become? That's the killer question. Answer, why it's the Shaggy Cube-Nappy Funtime Competition, obviously. Ah, tapes. I'm getting flashbacks to the noise they made fast-forwarding and rewinding which was damned hilarious below the age of 10.
Re: Yaguchi Hitori Collection Everyone loved tapes. They were the best (non-computer, natch) recording gadget ever. CDs were a massive downgrade in those terms.
Re: Yaguchi Hitori Collection I totally forgot about those sounds you hear when you rewinding them.. and everyone claimed that you hear satanistic voices when you play Iron Maiden songs backwards. We actually did that once.. at school, during religion class. Best religion teacher I've ever head. You couldn't hear anythinng.
They really loved to torture themselves, didn't they. Especially in the old episodes. But I'm not surprised that Haruki won it's certificate back. Otherwise they would have destroyed it or sprayed it with some nasty stuff like Mari's autograph. But then he took their guests' certificates, but he probably gave it back. And still well done Haruki. The sushi battle was the best one
And I still don't understand why they didn't do stuff like that nappy game on the YH show. It's not complicated, it works with a simple camera setup and it was just funny. And way, way better than just talking. Or talking to Vanessa.
Re: Yaguchi Hitori Collection The whole thing about playing tapes backwards and hearing voices freaks me out! I wouldn't even want to try
Yeah, I can't understand why they didn't do stuff like this in YHShow either. I guess waxing Haruki's legs was about the closest it got. I hope their recent bowling game has got them talking seriously about reviving the show again. Please!
I've got some new (/very old, but unseen!) clips to upload at the weekend. The beginning of the Haruki's Hollywood Interviews series.
