riji | Ohno-kun's 80(?)-inch TV (Reply)

During the opening talk of the latest VS Arashi (160804), the conversation changed from what they usually do on Thursdays to how big the tv in Ohno-kun's house is (thanks to Aiba-chan's random question). And when Riida finally revealed it, it got censored. *boo* I don't get why they censored it. I think it wasn't something that had to be censored. Well, I heard they did it so we wouldn't know how much he paid for it. But it doesn't make any sense to me. First, because the audience heard it. It's just stupid to think they're all gonna keep quiet about it. Just look at what everyone says on Twitter. Apparently somebody from the audience said it was 80 inch. (Yeah, I think that's right. If you look at Riida's mouth, you can kinda tell he said 80) And then everyone posted a picture of it (and also the one with the dimension) and the screenshot of the cost. So now we all know it's 80-inch tv and costs over 1 million yen. What's the point of censoring it then? And second, he's a celebrity. And a successful one. We know he's rich. The other members keep teasing him about his big house. And he uses Segway at home. So it's not surprising he also has a big tv. Besides, a celebrity buying expensive things isn't an uncommon thing. So they shouldn't make it a big deal. Third, it's just a tv. It's not like he bought a private island or something. Fourth, he said it himself. If he's okay with it, then it shouldn't matter, right?

Anyway, I love everyone's reaction to it. They all clapped like he just won a prestigious award, Sho-kun shook his hand, and Aiba-chan even bowed to him lol. And of course bratty Nino had to tease him by saying "I also watch VS Arashi in my 2-inch tv." Lol Nino please. This is how the staff should've reacted. They could just go "woah" and laughed about it like me. Instead, they took it too seriously. Or maybe it was the jimusho? Hmm...
