It's my birthday, so I'm giving everyone a present! This episode and the next one are really fun episodes where Kimura plays billiards and darts against professional players that had been on the show previously (which are also fun episodes).
The video is too long for tumblr, so it can be found with the subtitles [here].
Also Kimura-saaaan is officially back, so be sure to watch the videos on the official channel as they get uploaded!!
Happy 51st birthday, Kimura!!!! In this episode, Kimura is joined by Nakao Akiyoshi and the two go to a dog cafe. The full episode is too long for tumblr, so it can be found with the subtitles [here].
Some fun facts and translation notes:
-When talking about a favorite dog, they use the term 推し (oshi), which means to be a fan or supporter of (i.e. an idol) or to be one's favorite (i.e. member of an idol group). AKA, to stan. For ease of reading, I simply put "favorite," but it's still a very cute touch to use that term for dogs!
-Tamura Masakazu was a prolific actor, but one of his most famous roles was the titular character in the police detective drama Furuhata Ninzaburou. This character was parodied by Kimura himself many times on SMAPxSMAP, and Kimura was on the show twice (once by himself, and once with SMAP as a whole). The drama they costarred in was Concerto.
