At least now we have a direct contact with one of the members. We can ask him ^_^[/quote]
Thank you for posting that link Reuben, there are some interesting and nice pictures there.
Hmm, it appears that from after タイガー& Megu became a couple, there are very few pictures of them together according to the dates of his pictures after Ainori. I guess they didn't last that long? Does anyone know if they are still together? I liked that couple :S

yeah..i agree with everyone. i LOVE ainori, but these days, I feel like they drag on the same story line for 5 episodes straight. I also am tired of this special analyzing episodes they've been showing recently...really have no point at all!! I feel like they make those episodes so that they have more time to edit ainori. And the kosuke and yokko story was soooooooo annoying!!! thank god it came to an end because i was getting tired of seeing them go no where. I wonder what people in Japan think of all these editing. Do they like it? Is that why they started editing like CRAZY>!>!
I also agree that lately in a lot of the episodes there are a lot of analyzing of the present and past episodes and having guests join in to hear their point of views. Since they have included this in the newer episodes, it feels like each story will have to go through more episodes than usual. I think all these extras are really unnecessary. I miss how it was in the older Ainori episodes.

Whoo, after like MONTHS I've finally caught up with the show.

...I agree with this sentiment 100%. When I first started watching the show, the cutaways to the hosts were just enough to add some reflection and another interesting point of view (gawd Imada, you kill me!). However, with all this crazy "special episode crap," I've skipped a few episodes. I mean, really? WTF is up with that guy in the pink lab coat? No way in hell he's a doctor! I hope people don't think he's some kind of expert because he spits out things anyone who's ever read a grade-school science book could figure out.
Please focus on what's important!
As far as the actual footage, the editing doesn't bug me as much but there are times where I think, "man, that's just unnecessary" or "that is getting so ooooold". I imagine editing for a reality television show must be a difficult job, as you have to decide what to keep how to make it coherent when you have hours upon hours of footage a week for a ~22 minute time slot. I'll admit there are some things I find cute or something, but man.
I feel like the pop culture industry in Japan, as a whole, has completely abandoned the idea of "subtlety" over the past few years, though. (If you've seen any dorama aimed at young people recently, you know what I mean.)
Oh, well. There's my rant.
P.S. That new girl is half-past adorable! Yamaji's a hoot, too... and Gohya? I forget his name but he's funny too. It's been a while since I've liked this many people on the show. Now if Momo would only GTFO...
EDIT:

Hmm, just spoiled myself a bit by looking at the site and saw that Momo just confessed to Umeo? That came kind of quick. I'm guessing that the staff is sick of her too and maybe pressured her to do it?

Hey, can anyone tell me what episode this is from?
Quote:
A female participant fell in love with the tour guide, and when the bus stopped at the country's border (and she realized she'd never get to see him again) she begged the producers to let her confess her love. She did and the two became a couple.
I found it on wikipedia and now I really want to watch the episodes with that storyline!

I believe that would be eps. 219-220 if you are talking about Dominic and Kaji. The Kokuhaku spans towards the end of episode 219 into the beginning of episode 220. They initially meet the tour guide in ep. 214. And of course, Reuben is to thank for finding and uploading them to us.

hahaha! i was thinking the EXACT thing!! everytime they show the preview showing that stupid "scientist" (which has been a frequent occurrence these days) i just skip that episode. its so pointless
my favorite ainori love story is probably the hide/kayo, chaki/uekki, nao/fujiwara and my all time favorite would have to be riko/yuukun. those episodes were sooo good!! i really want to see something genuine like that. the last two couples seemed soooooo superficial to me!! its like..kousuke liked yokko just because she was older and mature and different from his previous relationship. and momo like umeo because he gave her lots of compliments...thats how it felt to me. there was no depth to any of them.
they really need to do better with the casting. i feel like none of them right now has chemistry. even with momo and umeo (though momo's confession was really cute)..they didn't have much chemistry. i feel like right now its some documentary about some giant and a weird girl on a pink bus..BUT i must admit.. yamaji is growing on me. she's really entertaining. lol

For anyone who wonders what former Ainori participants are doing nowadays. Here is a little something regarding former Ainori member Carbonara. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWwZlKP5AIs& You know what? I sort of figured he was into this line of work even before he went on Ainori based on the way he looked.
