Sakumoto trials 2017 has begun
The first hint is Sho’s expression and how “fast” he is when it comes to pressing the button for the coriander hotpot (pakuchi nabe) question.
When I was so sure he wouldn’t attempt to answer at all, all of Arashi had answered wrongly, and guess who answers correctly? Well, Neens is quick to provide friendly support (LOL).
Just see that pained face~~
And our youngest has to question the point of it all when BOTH the ‘winners’ HATE coriander.
Still, things looks optimistic enough...
With Sho-kun actually impressed that he likes the taste of the chicken cooked in the coriander broth.
And then he takes a sip of the broth. You know that only spells doom.
So much so that the MC and Go-kun express concern over the facial acrobatics that Sho-kun is displaying as an idol.
And as Sho-kun tries to rein in his sanity expression,
OTP-enabler will never fail to do his job.
Nino: I kind of want to see J eat [the coriander nabe].
Jun: Why the heck do I have to eat it?!
I can see you wanting your better half’s company in your misery, Sho-kun.
... even as our youngest tries to remind us that he WON his round (and shouldn’t be subjected to the ‘punishment’)
And then miracle of miracles as Jun finds the dish delicious! I think he’s actually just weak with raw coriander, but okay with cooked coriander (as seen from Pittanko KanKan SP when he did his promo for 99.9)
Now now now, Sho-kun. There is no need for that look of having been betrayed.
Okay you two. We’ve had enough fun at your expense (for now).
