TFOE 5

AHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

[argumentl]

The last episode of TFOE!

Kaoru actually singing live on air!

It was Joe's birthday recently, so Kaoru and Tasai sang Happy Birthday. In reality, it was more like talking the lyrics, but still!! 😂

Kaoru also explained a bit about the music video for The Devil in Me. The members were filmed in front of a green screen, and the background is a mixture of AI and CG, with director Kondo still hard at work on the full video. This approach was decided upon through discussions between the members and Director Kondo. Kaoru said he was thinking about showcasing the full video had it been ready, but alas, it isn't ready yet.

They asked viewers to write questions about the mv in the comments. I asked what the meaning of all the pink was, Joe read this out, and Kaoru answered "Pink". They laughed at this...so did I!

For the main they did a TFOE quiz, with 5 questions about the first ever Niconama broadcast where Kaoru was dressed as Sweeny Todd (Flashbacks to my UK dentist nightmare 😂).

They then read out a few of the comments people had sent in about things they had graduated from. Following this, Kaoru was brought two trays full of prawn/shrimp dishes, since he recently 'graduated' from his dislike of shrimp. He happily tried them all.

To finish the free part, Kaoru mentioned that there are still quite a lot of tickets left for the Osaka dates of the upcoming tour, since this venue is quite large. Get your tickets everyone!!

Kaoru: It turned cold suddenly. It was warm up till yesterday! *Kaoru and Joe chats briefly before Kaoru turns to look at Tasai* Kaoru: Did you really come today dressed like this?

i think one of my favorite things about college is seeing all of the people i knew in high school exploring and finding themselves. a lot of them have either come out both outright and subtlety, even more have gotten to find new hobbies and new groups that they wouldn’t have been allowed to have at home with their parents. so many of them are embracing their cultures and ethnicities and not trying to fit in with the white-centricness of our hometown. like as an example, i’ve seen so many pictures on instagram of people who i’ve only seen with straight hair embrace their curls and holy shit their hair looks so healthy now. but like out of all of it, i’m just so excited to see all of them be actually happy

Kaoru announced that next month will be the last TFOE. The show will come to an end in April!

They also looked back at some past funny clips from the show since it began on Niconama, and made some AI images of 'The Devil in Me' covers.

Kaoru also did some funny poses to introduce each clip, including a Kamehameha in honour of Toriyama sensei.
