One of my favorite songs of all, Get Up Rapper by Salt 5.
11 Water.
This is a setup seen sometimes in anime shows which feature a festival. There's a long container of water and goldfish. The contestant is given a hoop covered by a very light-weight paper and their task is to try to catch goldfish without breaking the paper which apparently is an extremely difficult task to do.
In the first part three members of 11 Water are taking on one guy. He gets 14 in the time limit. The three 11 Water people get a total of 9 fish.
The next game is also a staple of anime beach scenes, trying to split open a watermelon while blindfolded. In this case there are three targets, only one of which is a watermelon, and one of the 7 Air people is called on to represent their team.
She is spun around and then set loose. She approaches the cameramen first who wisely back away. Quickly.
There are girls behind the table with the objects and they are calling, trying to steer the would-be watermelon cleaver to the correct object. She succeeds.
Salt 5 is the next up for the watermelon-destroying contest. She splits the watermelon. (Actually, it seems to be pre-split; all they have to do is hit it to get it to break into two equal halves easily.)
Now 11 Water will get a chance at the watermelon. She hits it, but instead of splitting (like a pre-split watermelon should), it rolls over and falls into a hole, still whole. She doesn't get credit since the watermelon didn't break in two when she hit it.
In the next contest the girls first must blow up a balloon. Then they have to tie it off, put it on the pad and sit on the balloon, bursting it.
Then they pass off a type of necklace to the next member of the team who then has to find something in a book.
When that is done the third member has to fill a cylinder with water.
The next person has to do something with a key ring but I'm not sure just what. I think it might be to see which lock the key on the ring unlocks.
The last girl has to pick up something with her teeth and walk across the finish line.
There are food awards, 7 Air getting the most (since they won), and 11 Water getting, appropriately, a watermelon.
The contest continues, however, and in this case if a team gets the question right they can steal one food item from another team.
One of the questions involves a sushi bar. 7 Air wins and gets to steal their food item right back from 11 Water.
Then a different kind of question contest is run.
Then another section with making the Princess laugh.
A Hello Pro section follows.
Back to the three-group contest. Salt 5 and 7 Air have gone off to get their dinner rewards. Unfortunately, 11 Water has nothing; their only food item, the watermelon, being taken by 7 Air earlier.
Then we go to 11 Water's performanc e of their song Be All Right.
