I’ve just uploaded a new video on my channel so please check it out!

Come along with me to eat real nagashi somen for the first time! Nagashi somen are noodles that flow down bamboo shoots that you have to catch with your chopsticks. I also visit a peaceful river in Akiruno-shi for some relaxing nature.

初めてちゃんとした流しそうめん食べに行きました！そして、暑いので川でリラックスして自然に癒されました。

Nagashi Somen - Food Fantasy

Half-Life Alyx: Nagashi Somen

This is a nichijou reference.

[decilla]

Babe, what’s wrong? You’ve barely touched your rayquaza nagashi somen slide noodles.

[spacecow2455]

After Symphogear XDU went offline someone uploaded the full contents of the app to the Internet Archive and so I've been able to explore all of the assets.

Most of XDU remains untranslated so for a bunch of these images presently I can only wonder what the fuck is happening. Some of them I can kinda see (like Tsubasa and Chris training with alternate weapons and Elfnein's weird obsession with nagashi somen) but the rest are a mystery

Edit: apparently the gun battle one did get translated but it’s a part of some other storyline where Saint Germain, Carol, and Hibiki are working together to investigate the mafia? This raises more questions than answers

Foodie Adventures

Kyle Garrick strikes me as the most adventurous of the 141. My personal hc for this, beautiful, beautiful man is that he's a foodie through and through. And you cannot convince me otherwise.

Kyle is the type to travel and completely immerse himself in the culture surrounding him, so it's no surprise that when downtime becomes available, you naturally gravitate to exploring with him.

He'd happily venture off with you in Japan to find a quaint little place where you can enjoy Nagashi Somen, exchanging laughs each time one of you fails to catch the noodles from the bamboo slide with the chopsticks. But his ultimate weakness is the steamed Gyoza.

You can find him in Mexico carrying a big ass Gomichela, topped with gummy bears, chili-coated watermelon sours, and chamoy on the rim, in one hand, and the other carrying a plate of tortas.

Or he'll be dancing with you to live street music in Turkiye, after enjoying Turska kava, and the process of watching the vendor boil it in the sand.

Better yet, catch him in Greece eating Dolmades and Spanakopita.

Anyways, my point is, this man is down to try anything and everything that comes to mind, no matter how different or bizarre, he's open to trying it at least once.

(He's especially a sucker for desserts.)

Idk, man. I just kinda wanna travel the world with a beautiful man, who knows a thing or two about good food, and isn't scared to find the greatest hole in the wall restaurant.

The Blue club's Nagashi Somen

LIST OF CHAPTERS

[Translation under the cut]

Saya: Fuu, I'm tired…

Kusanagi: I'm done with mine. What about you?

Kamamoto: It's done.

Saya: One cardboard box for me…

Kusanagi: I see, good luck with the last one. I'll be waiting for you with a nice cup of coffee.

Saya: Yes, I'm going!

*In the courtyard*

Saya: (Me, Kusanai-san and Kamamoto-kun failed in the Nagashi Somen Tournament…)

Saya: (As punishment, we are helping to carry the stock of somen noodles that left uneaten…)

Saya: (It's heavy, it's far away, and I'm dizzy, but this is one of the last ones, so let's do my best!)

Saya: …That's it!

Saya: (…I wonder if it's really okay)

*Flashback*

Saya: --To leave somen noodles in front of the Blue club's clubroom?

Totsuka: Ahah. That's right. Like Daddy-Long-Legs leave it discreetly and come back.

Kusanagi: It's practically like throwing them away.

Totsuka: There's a lot of people in the Blue club, and if they eat it, it won't mean we threw it away!

Saya: But what if someone sees us when we're carrying them…

Totsuka: This is a punishment, so if someone sees you, you can go back once you're discovered.

Totsuka: Besides, isn't it more fun if there's a thrill?

Kusanagi: Haah, that's just stupid…I pray it doesn't cause too much trouble.

*Flashback ends*

Saya: …А pile of cardboard boxes. I put a gift card on top, hope they won't throw it away.

???: …Are there any dangerous things in it?

Saya: Ah…Fushimi-kun.

Fushimi: I got a report that there is some disturbing activity involving the Red club around here…

Fushimi: At any rate, come with me.

Saya: Where to?

Fushimi: Just stop talking and follow me.

Saya: I-I got it! I got it, so can you let go of my hand, please?

Fushimi: I refuse. Let's go.

Fushimi: It's Fushimi. Sorry for the intrusion.

Munakata: I've been waiting for you, Fushimi kun. So…she is a culprit?

Saya: Сulprit…

Fushimi: You've been acting suspicious, if you're not a culprit, then what?

Munakata: Don't be so belligerent, Fushimi-kun. If you let her tremble, it will hinder the interrogation.

Munakata: What were you doing in front of the Blue club's clubroom?

Saya: Em…I was stacking boxes.

Munakata: I know that you were stacking boxes with unknown contents. What's inside?

Saya: …Food.

Fushimi: …A bomb disguised as food?

Saya: No. It's regular somen noodles…

Munakata: Why do you look away? Are you lying?

Saya: No, I'm not lying.

Fushimi: That attitude is suspicious.

Munakata: Anyway, let's go to where the boxes are, shall we? Let's open them and take a look inside.

Fushimi: …

Munakata: How is it, Fushimi-kun?

Fushimi: It says "Ashinaka's thread".

Munakata: …It's not food?

Fushimi: "Ashinaka's thread" is a brand of somen noodles that can often be found in supermarkets on this ‘super’ Ashinaka High school island.

Munakata: I see, so that's somen noodels…

Fushimi: I assume the contents of the other boxes are the same.

Why did you leave them in front of the Blue club?

Saya: This is…

Saya: (I'd better be honest)

Saya: We had Nagashi somen in the Red club…

Saya: In the end, we decided to secretly carry the uneaten portions to the Blue club.

Munakata: Why to the Blue club?

Saya: Well…This is…

Saya: N-never mind! The somen noodles were so delicious that we thought it would be great if everyone in the Blue Section had a chance to try them!

Saya: Now that the delivery is done, I'm going to lea-…

Fushimi: Oi, wait.

Saya: Eh!!

Munakata: You can't leave now. We haven't checked the taste yet.

Fushimi: We can't rule out the possibility that it contains poison. You will be the poison taster.

Saya: It's store-bought somen noodles…

Munakata: It's best to be as safe as possible. Could you ask Awashima-sensei to prepare a set of tools?

Awashima: I think it's about time….Uhm, it's no longer stiff. Drain the water and rinse in cold water.

Akiyama: President, the somen noodles are ready.

Munakata: Thank you. Now, please begin the poison test.

Saya: O-Okay.

Awashima: Please use mentsuyu (noodle soup base).

Saya: Thanks. Well then, thank you for the food.

Saya: (Eating while being watched by people makes me nervous…)

Saya: …*cough*

Saya: (Wait a minute…this is..!)

Fushimi: Oi, what's wrong. So you mixed poison into it after all?

Saya: I-It's not like that! This noodle soup base…

Saya: It tastes very sweet and weird…

Fushimi: …Ha?

Saya: Sensei, please give me some water…!

Awashima: O-okay. I'll get it for you in a minute, just wait here.

Fushimi: The noodle soup base tastes sweet? I'm pretty sure it's ready…

Munakata: It was Awashima-sensei who prepared it.

Fushimi: It that case, could it be…

Munakata: This "could it be" is very likely.

Fushimi: Tsk…You can't just add it in everything you want…

Awashima: I brought some water. Here, drink.

Saya: Thank you!

Saya: …Ha.

Awashima: Do you think you'll be okay?

Saya: I can still taste the broth, but it's better than before.

Saya: Thank you, sensei.

Awashima: Still, I wonder why this happened?

Saya: The soup base flavor?

Awashima: Yeah. I added the same noodle soup base I usually use.

Saya: Is that so…?

Awashima: Yeah. It's an original store-brought soup base but with a slight modification.

Saya: (Modification…Could it be that Awashima-sensei has a very dulled sense of taste…?)

Awashima: Perhaps the soup base flavor was not to your liking. I'm sorry.

Saya: N-No. It's fine. But now you know that somen noodles are not poisoned.

Saya: Well then, on that I'll-…

Awashima: Wait. Maybe this wasn't enough.

Saya: (Sensei took out the plastic container…Is it red bean paste in it?)

Saya: Could it be that what was in the noodle soup base was…

Awashima: Yeah, it was red bean paste. Don't you add it when something isn't sweet enough?

Saya: I've never added it…

Saya: A-Anyway, I'm leaving! Well then…

Munakata: Your role as poison tester is not over yet.

Fushimi: Sorry, but you'll have to make the sacrifice.

Saya: B-But I told you, there is no problem with the somen noodles…!

Awashima: President, she's right. The somen noodles were fine, so I'll go make some more soup base.

Awashima: Ah, yes. There's not enough of it for the club members, so we'll make some together.

Munakata: Awashima-sensei…is this…

Awashima: Fushimi-kun. Get ready to boil somen noodles.

Awashima: Well then, if you'll excuse me.

Munakata: …*muffled groan*

Saya: (Before you knew it, the Blue club was also ordered to eat somen noodles with that soup base…)

Munakata: Fushimi-kun.

Fushimi: What is it? I'm preparing somen noodles.

Munakata: I've remembered that I have an urgent business to attend to, so I'll leave you in charge here, Fushimi-kun.

Munakata: Well then.

Fushimi: Haaa!? Wait-…!

Saya: (Wah, I should take the chance to leave too…!)

Fushimi: Oi, you too wait!! Waaaait!!

Tori Matsuzaka plays a game against the "Nino Family team and reveals his unknown struggles with Kazunari Ninomiya

Actor Tori Matsuzaka will appear on the "Nippon Television" program "Play with Nino-san" (19:58 P.M.-21:54 P.M. on japanese time and 11.58 P.M.-13.54. P.M. on european time) on the 12th january. He will battle it out with the "Nino-san family" team members Kazunari Ninomiya, Fuma Kikuchi, Tomonori Jinnai, Takashi Yoshimura, comedy duet "Ganbareruya", and "3ji no Heroin" at an athletics facility.

Matsuzaka, who failed at the "nagashi somen game" when appearing on the station's regular program "Nino-san," is eager for revenge, saying, "I want to show my good side!" and is enthusiastic to "beat Nino-san team and taste the sweet taste of victory!"

The stage for the showdown will be Tondemi Heiwajima in Ota Ward, Tokyo, an indoor athletics facility that has collected over 20 types of interactive play from all over the world, including trampolines and climbing. The participants will be divided into two teams and play a best-of-five game, with the winning team receiving a prize.

Before the team division, which would determine the fate of the match, Ninomiya suggested, "If Tulio's team wins, let's give the reward to Tulio," and the "Nino Family team" paid attention to the name Matsuzaka was called, asking, "Do you call him Tulio?" When he asked, "Can we call you Tulio too?" Matsuzaka readily agreed, saying, "Sure. For now, it's just Ninomiya." With the distance between them narrowing even further, the teams were divided. As a result of the "draft rock-paper-scissors," the fifth match became a battle between "Matsuzaka's team" and "Nino's team."

The first competition was "Speed ​​Button Push," where participants competed to see how many times they could press a glowing button within the 45-second time limit. Two team representatives took on the challenge. The comedians, who pride themselves on their speed, performed unexpectedly well. Matsuzaka, who watched the battle, was also very excited, saying, "Amazing! So cool!"

The second competition was the "Human Tower Battle." Each person took a photo of themselves in front of a green screen in a pose of their choice, and their image appeared on the monitor as a "human block." The falling "human blocks" were stacked one by one in a balanced manner, and the team with the most blocks stacked won. The pose they took the photo in held the key to victory. Matsuzaka's team, trial and error in trying not to fall apart, put in a miraculous play.

The third event was the "Pole Climb Time Attack," a climbing event in which participants had to climb up a series of 13 thin poles arranged in a staircase pattern. The poles are a thrilling ride, with the smallest being 27cm in diameter and the maximum being 10m above the ground. At the end, participants had to jump from a height of 10m using harnesses, and compete to see who could reach the ground the fastest. While Nino's team was recording good times, Matsuzaka's team was cornered, but their leader Matsuzaka was inspired, saying "I'm confident!" and showed a super fine play that dispelled the nightmare of the Nagashi Somen Game.

Furthermore, heated battles unfolded in the fourth event, "Poka Poka Stadium," and the fifth event, "Air Run Relay." Will Matsuzaka be able to taste the sweet taste of victory?

After enjoying the game battle to the fullest, they held a small New Year's party. An unexpected incident occurred when the "Nino Family" did not show up at the venue. After that, everyone gathered together and the New Year's party started. In response to Matsuzaka's request, they served a special menu using "large-mouth lotus root" and "Jingoemon potato", and Matsuzaka was very satisfied, saying "It's so delicious!".

In a relaxed atmosphere, the conversation turned to Matsuzaka's time as a young actor. Matsuzaka debuted as a model in 2008, and the following year he entered the world of acting with "Samurai Sentai Shinkenger". At the time, the image of special effects works being harder than historical dramas or morning dramas was completely different, and even the extremely busy Ninomiya was astonished, saying "Isn't it amazing!?".

Matsuzaka also looked back and said, "I was scolded a lot during my time in the Sentai team," and Ninomiya replied, "When I was a rookie, I was scared of the lighting guy," and they both confessed painful memories from their younger days. In addition, Ninomiya and Matsuzaka revealed behind-the-scenes stories from the filming of the movie "From the Gorgonio with Love" and the drama "VIVANT," in which they co-starred, and Jinnai asked Matsuzaka a forbidden question that he had always wanted to ask him, creating a huge buzz.

Kiho's Personal Story

Roka: To this wonderful night... Cheers!!

Kiho: Cheers.

Roka: Mika!

Takeru: Sure, sure.

Roka: Fufu... Fufufu.

………

Flap

Kiho: Oh.

Roka: Zzzzz…..

Takeru & Kiho: ……..

After saying a toast for countless times, Roka slumped against the counter with a smile on his face. I looked at him for a few seconds. I caught sight of Mika behind the counter, and we both laughed and said, “Good work”.

Takeru: As always, the way he fell asleep is just like a baby. He was noisy until the very end.

Kiho: I thought he’d ask for another round of fortune telling. He ran out of energy now.

Takeru: Seems like he played putter golf with Shinobu and others on the rooftop during the day. He must have been pretty tired from the start.

Kiho: The rooftop here?

Takeru: Yeah. He bought a toy set from somewhere, and was playing in the office at first, but Ai-chan kicked him out.

Kiho: Must have been tough for Ai.

I took the glass, which is now filled with nothing but ice, from Roka’s hand and handed it to Mika.

Takeru: Thanks. What about you, Kiho?

Kiho: I don’t mind if we call it a day now…... But let’s see…. Can I have just one more drink?

Takeru: Of course. I’m about to start cleaning up now, but don't worry about me. Just take your time and drink.

Mika gracefully poured me some Ginjo and began closing up the bar as previously declared. As I watched him while enjoying my last drink of the day… I heard a muffled voice next to me.

Roka: ...I’ve come up with a great idea...

Kiho: What is it?

Roka: Nagashi somen for Christmas.

Kiho: We already did that last year. Water got all over the floor and Urara scolded us like we have just killed someone. We learned it hard way, didn’t we?

Roka: Fufu... Nghnnnn...

Takeru: Seriously, you’re way too sociable. Why bother replying when he’s already in his dreamworld?

Kiho: To my surprise, he can remember things when I ask him later. Maybe his brain is still up and awake.

Takeru: Even if that's the case, when I see you two together, I still feel strange.

Kiho: What’s strange about it?

Takeru: Who would have thought that you two would become such good friends for this long?

I gulped down the chilled sake in my mouth. And laughed lightly at what Mika said while he was polishing the sink.

Kiho: Mika, didn’t you say the same thing in the past?

Takeru: Oh, really? Well, I've been thinking about it for quite some time now.

I do understand why Roka is attached to Kiho, but Kiho also accepted him and that's why we’re where we are now.

I can’t guess at all what would lead you guys to this point.

Kiho: Accept him? I don't mean to act like I was playing hard-to-get.

Takeru: I think it's difficult for you not to act that way when that’s what you are. Well, not that I care.

Back then… Kyoya, Sei, Shizuka, Mao... Not sure if I should say this, but didn’t Kiho like hanging out with that kind of people?

Kiho: Interesting conclusion you’ve reached there. Well, if I were to sit next to someone on a long trip, I'd prefer someone among that list.

Takeru: I know right. In fact, I've never seen Kiho close the distance with someone crazy like Roka. That's why I find it very strange.

Even if he was one-sidedly attached to you and you found him annoying, you could have dealt with him however you wanted, but you didn't.

Kiho: Dealing with him?

Takeru: Smiling while giving him a cold shoulder. You're good at that, aren’t you?

Kiho: Oh. Now you’re slandering me.

Takeru: Who said I did? I don't think you have to worry about it, though.

Kiho: Haha.

I see... So that's how Mika sees us.

Then, I could say the same. The fact that Roka got attached to me is certainly strange.

Takeru: Maybe it’s not rocket science at all. Perhaps, it’s simply admiration.

Because Kiho has a lot of things that Roka doesn't have and wants.

Kiho: ...I'd be honored if that's the case.

Takeru: It's like crying for the moon. I think it's more or less a feeling that arises when people interact with each other.

Well, it's not every day that you find someone as dynamic as Roka. “A calm, intelligent leader who is respected by everyone”

Kiho: Haha. I feel bad for Roka, but I can't imagine that at all.

Takeru: I kind of agree. However, if I have such a dynamic idiot close by….

I might be able to think it's silly to worry about such trivial things like having high expectations or wishing for things that will never come true.

Kiho: …….

He makes me think that everyone can want what they want, step forward, reach out and grab it. I think anyone with self-strict personality would feel comfortable around Roka. There's a level of force and carefree attitude that allows you to surrender yourself to him.

Takeru: Unexpectedly, he can save the day.

Looking at Mika, who suddenly stopped and looked at Roka with gentle eyes, I thought to myself he is also one of the people Roka has "forgiven".

Kiho: (Crying for the moon, huh?)

Kiho: ......It hurts.

Takeru: Huh?

Kiho: Ah... Sorry. I’m just talking nonsense. My head just hurt for a moment.

Takeru: Oh no, are you okay? You still have that migraine after all.

Kiho: No, I probably just drank too much and got a little carried away today.

Thanks for the drink. I'll take Roka home.

Takeru: Just sit down for a bit. I'll call Shinobu now.

Today he went to the dormitory to clean Shizuka's house. After that, he would be drinking with Soyogu and others, but I think they should start talking about leaving now.

If he comes over here and I tell him he can take a taxi home with Roka, he’ll be happy to come and pick him up for sure.

Kiho: He’s drunk as a skunk and a bit of a pain right now, are you sure?

Takeru: That kid is probably drunk too. Here! Drink this and wait.

Kiho: Thank you.

After quickly handing me a glass of water, Mika went down to the staff room.

Kiho: (.…I ended up making him worried. I should have made a different excuse.)

(I can't think straight at all. I'm really a little drunk tonight.)

Roka: …….

Kiho: ……

I stared at the back of Roka’s head, motionless and as quiet as a dead body. I vaguely thought that it's been a long time seeing that his hair has gotten this long. I couldn’t really remember how short his hair was when we first met.

Roka: Hey, Misumi. I'm thinking of growing my hair out too, is that okay?

Why? There's only one reason. I want to be cool like you!

Not just as a host. As a human being, too.

Kiho: (.….Idiot.)

He has had something special from the beginning, but only he himself doesn’t know its value. Without realizing it, he chased after someone else, harboring unnecessary admiration. He's stupidly pure, he tries his best, and he loves people. There’s just no way anyone can hate him. He's the kind of person who is destined to be loved.

Kiho: It's not that I didn't reject him. I just couldn't, Mika.

I murmured the words I hadn't said earlier to the empty counter. I could see it from the moment we first met. If I had negative feelings about “this”, it would be the end. So I accepted him, and I won't reject him even in the future. If no one can see your true feelings, it's the same as not being there.

Kiho: (That's why….. You'll probably never know for the rest of your life.)

I reached out for the card I'd put aside in the corner. And flipped it over and saw what’s on it. I couldn't help but let out a dry laugh, which made Roka flinched. I find a tip of his hair swaying like a tail annoying for some reason, so I chuckled.

Kiho: Get up. Time to head home, Roka.

…….If I hate you, I’ll be swept away for sure.

流しそうめん、今日は五郎師匠がまるねこに冷泉の天然水から竹を使って流した天然水でそうめんを作る方法を教えます。湿気の多い日には最高で、普通の温かいそうめんとは全く違います🍜✨

Nagashi somen, today Master Goro will teach Maruneko how to make somen noodles using natural water from a cold spring that flows through bamboo. It's great on humid days and is completely different from regular warm somen noodles 🍜✨
