Here goes, my first summary of a LH episode. Neither Japanese nor English is my native language, so please bear with me. ;-)

Tonight is: Kakuzuke young celebs special!

Participating standup comedian groups:
Untouchable
Ogiyahagi
Impulse
Ungirls

Also:
Hata Yoku, a.k.a. Guitar Samurai
and
Tamura Ryo of London Boots

The participants are seated like this:
Top row from the left:
Impulse Tsutsumishita, Impulse Itakura, Hata Yoku, Ungirls Yamane, Ungirls Tanaka
Bottom row from the left:
Tamura Ryo, Untouchable Yamazaki, Untouchable Shibata, Ogiyahagi Ogi, Ogiyahagi Yahagi

Atsushi is teasing Yamazaki about of what happened last week, and Yamazaki answers that he is healed from his womanizing habits. However Atsushi is still thinking Yamazaki has not repented.

And today's question is: "I wouldn't want to have this man's baby." Ugirls Tanaka is selected as the one to guess the ranking.

He put himself as nr 7. Because: He's tall, has good income and graduated from a good university.

Atsushi says that Itakura looks like an assassin today with that gray suit, and make a point of that throughout the show.

Iijima gives Atsushi a hint, that if he press his pointing pin against Yamazaki's chin, he stops talking. Atsushi likes to make fun of that chin, and also think Yamazaki talks too much. This gets repeated several times.

nr 8: Impulse Itakura. Because: Masculine in a slightly old-fashioned way. Doing his best to look good, nice suite, nice hairdo.

When Tanaka says he himself look good naturally without any effort, Itakura says he looks more like an enemy from Bomberman.

nr 9: Tamura Ryo. Ryo himself is disappointed because he imagine himself as nr 10. He's the only one with a child and think he's the most good looking. His children are cute too. But Yahagi, who've met Ryo's child, thinks he just look stupid.

Tanaka's reason: He's good looking but have a weak psyche at the same time, and that's his charm.

nr 10: Untouchable Shibata. Because: His kids will be neither good nor bad, but safe. Women like safeness.

nr 6: Ogiyahagi Yahagi. Because: Not amongst the best, but still ok. Sometimes looks like an old man, though.

Iijima says he looks 15 years older without the glasses.

nr 5. Ogiyahagi Ogi. Because: He looks quite ladylike, almost gay.

Ogi is happy because he gets to be together with his friend in the ranking.

nr 4. Untouchable Yamazaki. Because: His children will turn out dishonest. His DNA will lie to the other DNA and make trouble.

nr 3. Ungirls Yamane. Because: He's got no chin. His child will turn out ugly, regardless of the child's gender.

nr 2. Hata Yoku. Because: He looks like he's asleep all the time. It would be impossible to know if the baby is sleeping or not.

nr 1. Impulse Tsutsumishita. Because: The baby will be sweating from the moment it's born. In addition, he looks like pig.

Ranking, based on the answers from 100 women aged 15-45.

nr 10. Untouchable Shibata. Because: He seems to make plans for the future. He's good looking.

nr 9. Impulse Itakura. Because: His child will be intelligent. He'll make a good father.

nr 8. Ogiyahagi Yahagi. His child will have beautiful eyes. His child will have some sort of extraordinary ability. He features are not so bad, but put together he looks older than he really is.

Ryo is getting worried, and Atsushi insinuate that Ryo's wife regretted having their child.

nr 7. Impulse Tsutsumishita. Because: I personally want his child. He's fat, but is still graceful in a way.

nr 6. Tamura Ryo. Because: His child will be lovely, if nothing else. His child won't perhaps succeed in life, but will at least be a likable person.

Ryo agree that making a career will be difficult from now on. Then Atsushi ask if he can move on without Ryo. But Ryo complains about how he himself could carry on and support his family without Atsushi's help. But Atsushi wonder why he have to worry about Ryo's family.

nr 5. Ogiyahagi Ogi. Because: He's doing quite well after all. However, he don't look all that reliable

nr 4. Hata Yoku. Because: It'd be strange to have a lot of little guys looking like him around the house. How should one explain to the kids when they find a guitar and a kimono in the back of the closet. (Referring to his alter-ego, Guitar Samurai)

nr 3. Untouchable Yamazaki. Reason: I don't want a child with that chin.

nr 2. Ungirls Yamane. Reason: It would be difficult to tell our kids that he's their dad. Everybody will ask "why did you marry him?"

nr 1. Ungirls Tanaka. Reason: He's got almost no spirit. His kids will probably grow too tall. His DNA has no charm whatsoever.

In the end, Tanaka is forced to beg everyone for forgiveness for putting himself so far down the ranking.

Let me start out by thanking the guy who's been uploading all the London Hearts batches. Thanks a bunch for giving us all the oppurtunity to watch this extremely funny show.

Only problem is, I'm now addicted to the show but there hasn't been any new releases for the last 2(?) weeks. Does anybody know if there's any specific reason for this?

Thanks in advance,
Mackan

PostPosted: Wed Oct 04, 2006 8:54 am    Post subject: London Hearts Idol Trap - What in the world?   Post Rating: 0 Reply with quote

As a huge Japanese Drama watcher I came across this variety TV show. I have to admit I am not as much of a fan of Japanese variety shows as much as I like J Dramas. Well, I decided to DL this (while waiting for the new dramas) and watch this London Hearts Idol Trap. I may not know what the heck they are saying, but I know that I am interested in it and yet somewhat ticked off at the concept.

First off let me see if I have the concept right since I don't know Japanese. A girl or I suppose a guy sets up his or her boyfriend or girlfriend with a fake date with a Japanese idol - Megumi, Sato Erika etc.. setup by these London Heart guys and gals. The idol makes a pass or sometype of contact in order to setup a date with the boyfriend or girlfriend. Once the date is setup up (Like they could say NO) the date is video taped unknowing by the boyfriend and girlfriend and being shown to the boyfriends and girlfriends - boyfriend and girlfriend who is with the London Heart people. The london heart people then send in some person who interupts the date for sometype of comedic affect. However, at the very end the joke and the idols real attentions are revealed (Punked) - so far to a very angry girlfriend. I guess the overall concept is to test of the boy friends and girlfriend relationship against the power of the Japanese Idol.

If I have the concept right - I have to admit it is one heck of a interesting and captivating idea. However, I am disgusted by it somewhat. That you would play with someone feelings like that. Especially, in that type of way. You know I would like to see the beutiful idol lose to the girlfriend or the idol actually falls for the guy (that would make a good drama LOL) or the guy kicks the ass of the london heart guys. I mean that guy didn't stand a chance against Sato Erika. This is one of those guilty pleasure shows.

yeah its basically to test if the boyfriend will be faithful and not fall to the advances of an idol.

There's actually some english subtitles to a few of these in the subtitle forums so you get a better ideal of it. Idol trap is just one of the evil things London Heart used to do on their show. One of my other favourite evilness was when they got a random couple on the streets and check the guy's mobile phone address list and message some suspicous names on them (names not known to the girlfriend), needless to say the guy is always on the bad side of the deal in these type of games. Fear

Ah the good old LH classics. The current LH episodes are so tame compared to back then.

Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.

Hidden:

If not all, i'm sure a lot of the episodes are fake because i've known people asked to go to casting calls for them. People are real, "Setup" is real, but person must know they are being setup because the girl is not asked to trick the boyfriend or not tell him at any time. It's like a pretending game, which is why the dudes never really try to jump the idol. Sigh, when i found this out it took me a while to enjoy again...

Hmm.. I sort've doubt that. After all, they're completely mortified when they see their girlfriend, plus their girlfriends are quite genuinely pissed.

If it was fake, those "real couples," should all apply for celebdom.

I went ahead and explained one of the best London Hearts episodes this year in this small report I wrote (I think the episode is from March). I loved it but never had the time to write it out. Just got it done tonight
