Tokyo Friend Park (April 19, 2010)!!

Yay yay yay!! The episode with Mai, Mao, Dai and Taka-chan will be aired next week Monday (4/19)!!!
http://www.tbs.co.jp/tfp2/index-j.html

Soooo excited!!

There was a news article about it.
http://www.news2u.net/releases/67662

They didn't reveal that much, but they said that when the 4 of them came out, the crowd started yelling, "CUTE~!!"

And apparently the host took quite a liking to Mai and told Mao, "Your older sister is quite pretty, isn't she?"

Well, I think this show deserves its own thread--please post any youtube links/translations/reactions, etc, here!

Thanks for the link...I think it's the first time I've noticed that Takahiko is taller than Dai...no wonder he's been blowing up his hair with all that dip or spray all these years. I know Nobu is short, he's 164cm. That's quite short even for a Japanese guy. How tall are Dai and Takahiko?

I guess Dai is around 165cm. He looked like a dwarf next to Jian Tong.

So is it the reason why he does that with his hair? ¬¬

Please, Dai, we like you the way you are!

What? Dai is only 1cm taller than Nobu? I've always had the impression that he was much more taller...So it was his hair all along!

Btw, I found out that Takahiko is 170cm which is pretty much average for a Japanese guy. So I guess he'd be the only one amongst the 3 who'd match Mao in height when she wears heels...

Aww...it looks my personal favorite of the Tokyo Friend Park games, the Flash-saurus have been removed this time around (quite possibly because Mao, Miki, Tono, and Kozu did so well with it last year).

I can't believe we only have two days left until it airs!

Which one was that again? I just re-watched their episode the other day (and followed along with the translations/commentary from this forum) and it was hilarious. Can't wait for this one

It's the one where one person (in special editions of the show, two or three) have to try and land on a moving target of light that comes out of the dino's mouth...after another person "charges" it by working the air pump like mad.

I love, love, love your new avatar, clovera!

Oh yeah! Aw, too bad. I liked that one too.

There were so many adorable Mao-Kanako moments to choose from (when they were together at the Grand Prix Tokai Skating Club several years ago, the hug during Japanese Nats, backstage at the Nagoya Skating Festival etc.) but I found this to be the cutest of them all!

We'll still get to see Wall Crash and Hyper Hockey! From what I can tell from the article and studio screenshots posted above it looks like Mao, Mai, Dai, and Kozu will also be doing:

Stopper Cue Bridge: http://www.tbs.co.jp/tfp2/atr_bridge.html
(like Flash-saurus, a timing-based game where you have to connect the moving lines on the display panel with a cue/bat to form a bridge)

Chu Chu Busters: http://www.tbs.co.jp/tfp2/atr_chu.html
(punch as many rats as you can within the time limit!)

Yay, Wall Crash was awesome! And Taka-chan was so good at it, it was ridiculous. I love the sound of the new ones, especially Chu Chu Busters

Exactly! (That's part of the reason I've always favored him over Dai for Mao... ) Though Yuzuru's already 169cm or so, so I'm guessing that soon he'll be the tallest of them all!

Soo excited for this!! Though I realize I'll have visitors next week, so I might not be able to watch until they leave!!

clovera - I totally love your avatar too. All right, I gotta go hunt for a really cute K+M pic...

For anyone who's online (and doesn't mind watching it in Japanese + on a grainy stream no less), Tokyo Friend Park is on right now for KeyHole users! The channel is TBS for those who are interested.

Thanks for the links! What a fun show! Mao was just awesome. She is skilled in everything, it seems, haha. Dai didn't do too good though. Oh well, I'll still love him.

Exactly!
The show was more entertaining than I expected. Very nice.

Thanks for the links, kirakira.

The show was so fun!!
I was amazed how Takachan was good in everything. Dai was rather clumsy through whole program but he ended up getting what he wanted.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Well, Takahiko was on the show once last year, and since it was the first time for Dai, maybe it was just lack of experience...but Dai himself was sure shocked with some of his results (which was rather cute).

I remember Nobu being great at the wall jumping thing when he was on the show last year. Takahiko was good too, but he sort of climbed up. Whereas Nobu hit the highest with a clean single jump. Mai was....I think maybe I can do as much as her! But she's cute the way she is.

I had a great laugh when Mao did the mice hammering game, and the narrater said something like 'this is unbelievable! She's a totally different person compared to when she's on the ice! No graceful moves at all from her here! She seems quite messed up and is pounding like crazy!'.

That's our girl!

Lol. So that's what they were saying.~ Mao was so into it. Dai was euthusiastic too but it was so funny to see his expressions. Taka-chan played like an expert. He was mostly calm and focused.
