A new snippet in just a little over a month! Go me! I actually still have another snippet I want to post that’s ready to go, but I haven’t gotten around to writing it up yet. However, this evening as I was wandering around my harddrives, I stumbled upon this episode of Hello! Morning from 2004.

To lead into this snippet, you must first watch this clip from the Okajo Dumbest Member test to refresh your memory on our loveable subleader’s wonderful geography skills:

With that, here’s a bit of background on this episode of Hello! Morning. The theme is “Morning Musume vs. Hello! Morning”. For this part of the episode, Tanaka Reina was chosen as Momusu’s team captain. The girls are trying to get points in order to qualify for prizes. Each round, a category is given and the number of people that Reina has to choose for that category. She can choose any of the girls from the group, but each girls has to answer the question/complete the challenge for that category in order to receive points.

For this clip, the category is Geography: 4 people… Who does Reina choose?

This clip is just full of so much win. First, the look of shock on the other members sitting around Risa when her name is called… Then Kei’s look of utter dread when the camera angle switches to her and Reina… Then Risa’s panic at knowing she’ll never get the right answer. Then her relief at not being the one to screw it up for the team… And then Mari’s interpretation of Gaki’s feeling through it all. You can’t really blame Reina, as she wasn’t part of Momusu during the Bakajo test. I guess she didn’t catch the special on tv… XD This clip is just pure awesome. Who wouldn’t enjoy this clip? XD
