I love watching this show, but I wonder how long it'll last because eventually they'll be popular enough so that they won't be dependent on people trying to make them their favorites. You know, I can't believe I just realized this, but this show is pretty much how AKBingo! started. Although when they were collecting oshi badges, it was supposed to lead to something but eventually faded away without explanation, haha.
One thing I'm glad for is that Murashige's interruptions aren't as bad anymore. Either she toned it down a bit or there's careful editing. Yeah she has outbursts and tells every guest she loves them, but in the first season her proclamations really halted the show.
Gotta love hald-assed subs. For awhile it was tough to figure out what exactly the translations were, even believed a few things.
