So, before I get into this installment of memorable snippets, I just want to mention that this feature will no longer be a weekly thing. I’d rather not have this turn into a chore for me, as I try and find something to post every week, and instead just post things when they come to me.

On that note, I was browsing through the H!O torrents today and I noticed an Utaban clip from 2000 with Tanpopo. That got me curious so I checked it out, and all of a sudden, a wondeful memory came to me as I recalled this amazing interview and performance.

Here, 2nd generation Tanpopo makes their first appearance on Utaban and it’s quite a memorable one.

A really quick bit of background for those who haven’t seen the entire interview. Nakai and Taka have new special effects that they are torturing the girls with. The girls then have to perform the latest single “Otome Pasta ni Kandou” with all the special effects that were showcased during the interview. XD Hilarity ensues…

No matter how much time has passed, and no matter how many times I watch this performance, it never fails to amuse me. I could watch it mutliple times in a row, and each time I will be laughing so hard… It just never gets old for me.

Seeing this clip on H!O totally made my day, and I hope that for those of you who have never seen this clip (and those of you who have) enjoyed it as well. I love it during the intro, after the first two explosions that the girls flinch, expecting something else to be incoming. XD This is just all sorts of win, you really just need to watch it. <3

Oh, and to explain that topless guy on the scary chair... Just before introducin the song, Kaori had been on the chair as well. There's no real logic behind the chair. It was just there to freak the girls out...

And at the end, they do the proper version of the song, with special effects kept to a minimum. If you really want to watch that version (the special effects version is way cooler), here you go! The very end of this clip is adorable!

For those of you who want to see the entire interview, you the torent is here at the Hello!Online tracker.
