Hello Morning 09-25-2005 Show #278

This is the first of the "new version" of the programs I have watched. I'm not doing these reviews in order and I know other programs in this format have already been done, but this is the first I happened to watch.

The first five minutes or so is spent basically plugging Morning Musume products, much as Hello Pro News used to do.

This part is the "Magic Restaurant" where Dr. Zuma does various magic tricks and quizzes. He happens to be quite good, too. There is also going to be food as a prize for something.

The next thing will be the Idol Battle. It looks like Rika Ishikawa has taken over the Abe Natsumi/Nakazawa Yuko role of M.C.

The Yasuda Dai Circus comedian troop shows up.

They first play some variation of dodgeball.

The next game involves a person on a bicycle peddling which drives a train with a sharp point on its end. A person has his/her head stuck up through the table and a balloon nearby and the train and its sharp point is heading for the balloon.

A third person puts down the balloon after the train passes, runs over and grabs a platform and puts it on the pile and the fourth person jumps on the higher platform as other girls add even more platform sections.

It ends up being a rather high platform, too.

The Park Street Skit (Bus Stop Skit, etc) has been retained.

Yossie is playing a guy in this skit.

The role that used to be played by Maki Goto.

Another role from the older series.

I think Iida Kaori would have been the one using the guitar in the older series.

Looks like Nakazawa is still in her role as a policewoman.
