Slippery Encounter

Love Namida Iro performance from the 2001 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen. With young energetic backup dancer, this was one of her the best performance - well minus her outfit.

The interesting part of the performance is the mysterious white patches on the soles of every dancer's shoes.

Here's more.

In a quick glance, one may think someone stepped on toilet paper while doing his or her bussiness in the toilet. But how can everyone have it? These are the patches to prevent slips on the stage. The surface of the stage versus the shoes. Now that is a good item. Where can i buy these patches? Can I use the foot patch? Or the shoe grip spray?

I found the answer at "find.com". Well, close enough.

Pantsu Problems

Let's start this blog with Morning Musume performance of Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari in Pop Jam back in 2004 (July 23). It was the last single for Tsuji Nozomi and Kago Ai for they were graduated to concentrate on W.

The fun started off with Michishige. As she started her first line with weird one hand at the back. But the weird looking Sayumi's secret was revealed quickly as we can see she was holding her microphone transmitter device. It came loose from her pants.

The device was dangling and as she got into the back, she struggled to put it back into the places. As the chorus started, she managed to get it back as both hands were free to move.

But not for long as she was holding her hands back again and as clear view of the action can be seen as the camera pans at their back. She was trying to figure out the best place to keep the device.

She did not manage to secure the device until the end of the song.

Next, Tsuji Nozomi. The same problem as Michishige, but started later during Kago's part of the song near the chorus. First she had problem with the mic.

Shouldn't miss these

And later the transmitter device for the microphone. But Tsuji managed to put the thing back.

The microphones provided by Pop Jam definitely not for aggresive dancing. The mic couldn't stay properly as problem had by Tsuji and Reina (if watch her, she keeps holding the mic too). The should consider taping the mic with big tape on their cheeks.

Next was the transmitteror the receiver for the monitor speaker. The pants the girls had were not suitable for the device to clip on. It was to thin for it. The costume designer should consider a pocket or pouch specially made for this device.
