Hey guys. Been a little while since I was last here. Honestly, I was feeling my interest in the Muscats starting to wane a little
I'm a fan of the show, first and foremost and sadly the members' post-Muscats work hasn't grabbed me in the same way that OneMasu did. Sorry, but pachinko just isn't fun to watch. But I found some stuff on youtube to reignite my OneMasu love a little bit.
This is an extra from the 'Onegai Muscat' compilation DVDs that were released several years ago. I've been looking for these forever, and it's great to see that someone finally posted them. These DVDs are a few years old but I'm just now starting to see them online - makes me wonder if the copyright holders are a little more lax these days now that the show is gone. Anyway, I love this kind of behind-the-scenes talk and I think this particular video is pretty great:
A general translation: The topic is 'If you had to kick off (sorry, "graduate") a member, who would it be?"
You can see, most of the members chose Rio, but it's out of respect, rather than dislike. Aoi expresses this in a competitive way, saying that when OneMasu first started, she saw Rio was on the show and instantly felt like she was going to lose to her. At the time, she felt like she would have had an easier time if only 'that girl' wasn't there, though of course she now feels that Rio is really important to the show. Acky and Sayama would graduate her because she's
too good and graduating would give her the opportunity to 'step up' to bigger and better things. And Nishino sees her as something like a coach/leader and would graduate her as a kind of 'hall of fame' gesture (Aoi thinks Nishino might actually be talking about her).
Kasumi picks Kawamura Rika because of her tendency to blab personal stuff about the members during tapings. She'll bring up details of personal conversations on the show if she feels like it'll get a laugh, the apologize afterwards. I saw her mention on a different show that because she doesn't drink, she'll just sit back and absorb what happens when everyone else is drunk, then write it all down for future reference when she gets home. The only recourse is to throw it back at her, like the Viagra story during Risa and Rika's 'Argument King' segment.
Ando chooses Konan for pretty much the same reason the other members picked Rio - she feels like she can't beat her.
And Acky drew two names out of the stack, the second being Nishino. She never gets to say exactly why, but you can infer that maybe she's a little creeped out? She starts out by saying that they'd worked together previously and that she liked and respected her before the show started. But one day, they happened to be sitting next to each other when Acky glanced to her side and saw that Nishino had an Acky screensaver on her phone (I loved how they used to play up Nishino's Acky obsession on 'Onegai' , but they abandoned it for some reason once they renamed the show) Anyway, at that point it's pretty clear who they're talking about, but when Acky inadvertently mentions Nishino by name, they all decide to end the segment.
Anyway, this is the second part of a longer segment. Here's the first part.
Check out the youtube user 'tooru nakamura' for more rips from the compilation DVDs and a nice trip down memory lane. But hurry in case the videos get pulled down.
