Hello Morning #237 11-21-2004

1. Lucky 6 Okayama audition (What's really funny is that there is a little of the music from The Rock playing in the background at times) Apparently there were 22 girls from this area that went on to the next round.

2. Matsuura Aya commercial project. Apparently fans sent a lot of ideas for the commercial.

3. Lucky 7 audition continues

4. Competitions: The first one is a tug-of-war with three grown women vs. six of the Morning Musume girls, the grown women (at least one of them if not all three) have been on some kind of tug-of-war team competition before.

It took around six seconds for the girls to lose.

The women will then go 3 on 9 next. This time the girls win.

The next woman is introduced and some of her trophies are shown. Apparently she is some kind of champion noodle eater.

The four girls eat as many bowls of noodles as they can within the time limit. They devour 130 bowls (of some standardized amount of noodles per bowl), with Mari Yaguchi eating the most at 39 bowls worth (the second place person ate 33, the other two 32 and 26 bowls.)

There are people on both sides of the women constantly refilling her bowl. The woman manages to eat 105 bowls of noodles by herself in the same amount of time the four girls did 130 bowls.

Two guys are introduced next.

The two guys will take on 12 Morning Musume girls.

The point is to take a bunch of beanbag-type things and throw them up into a net and get them to stay there. The two guys win easily.

5. W (Double You) The girls start off digging up sweet potatoes and other things The girls are shown how to prepare some of the items and make some kind of soup and roasted sweet potatoes. They really seem to have a whole lot of fun.

6. Hello Project News. There's a cute staring contest during the session.

7. Goto Maki live "Sayonara-Tomodachi Niha Naritakunaino." A really, really good song.
