    "Carrots sweat" might be anything like Pocari sweat? I'd rather drink sweat from a carrot than a...Pocari, I guess

    How is a tv personality different from a talento?

    One has no personality and the other no talent... I guess.

    Fully Ripe Paprika?

    you're kidding, right?

    Here's my interpretation of their facial expressions:

    Tsubaki: "I"m glad to be here! This is fun!"

    Yu: "What has happened to my career? Why am I here?"

    Ogura: "Huh? Where am I?"

    "Talent" is a word too losely applied in Japan.

    Ayana's a cutie! Meanwhile, what does it mean when the powers that be put the word "talent" in front of your name? I'm thinkin that's not a good thing, especially for the audience.

    I don't like how label people in the media. I wonder how Japanese people would minded if everyone was officially labeled this way. They should give multiple adjective to describe every Japanese person. Transvestite Tsubaki, Dumb Talento Ogura, Old Tv Personality Yu, My Bad Breathe Boss, Raisin-face Prime Minister Aso...

    It reminds of old American Gangster movies. Baby face McGee, Big Nose Charlie, Pretty Ricky, Sammy Two-Toes.......

    Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls. It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world.

    Does it make you gay if you think Ayana is the hottest one up there?

    And yeah, can the moderator explain celebrity, personality, talent and whatever other class of Japanese famous person there is.

    'Celebrity', 'talent' and 'personality' seem to be almost interchangeable, but it's a good job there were not four 'people' on stage, such as Becky, as the media would be running out of words to describe them. 'Idol', 'actor' and 'actress' can't really be used....

    So, that's a bloke!?! What a disappointment! We have famous trannies in Oz too, but Dame Edna Everege just doesn't compare.

    "I can't believe that chick's a dude"

    "So, that's a bloke!?"

    She's a TRANSSEXUAL - she doesn't have nuts any more. She's not a he any more.
