Two Japanese guys in France ...

[scottishlass]

OMG this week's episode of SMAPxSMAP is so hilarious and at least I understood a whole lot more thanks to the French voiceover ... Poor Kimura and Katori always meeting tourists in Cannes when they are on a kind of paper chase because they want thos two tickets for the final game of the UEFA Champion's League Juventus Turin vs. Liverpool.

Shingo and Takuya were so cute, they had to find special places like a sushi restaurant and had to eat sushi there (though I doubt it was really that tasty with an American owner and a Brazillian sushi chef from Sao Paulo).




Totally kawaii - I just fell for those two all over again ... they are almost like an old married couple - Takuya choosing the sushi dish for Shingo, Shingo holding the baguette for Takuya to bite into ... choo kawaii!!!






Then they visited Le Theoule - Pierre Cardin's bubble villa that was built half into the mountains. In order to get the next clue they had to sing Sukiyaki to the housekeeper - KAWAII!!






Then they got to this really noble French restaurant Meule something Moulin or other and the chef had a Japanese chef in training (Hattori Hiroshi IIRC). He was like Oh crap, SMAP! OMG, Kimura-san and Katori-san!! Total fanboy! And then after they had eaten he told his boss that they have SMAPxSMAP in Japan and they are chefs on Bistro SMAP and they had to cook - Hiroshi-kun you rule!!!








The French chef did like the French-Japanese fusion dish they did.
That was a really good ep - these two are so wonderful and it was good to hear Takuya speaking English (and not FrEngrish like Shingo). And they always seemed to meet tourists instead of native French :) At the end they attended the Champion's League Final and esp. Takuya was so happy (Katori, Inagaki and Kimura are footy fans).

I so love those boys :) and was great to get a bit of cooking from the boys, even in Cannes ^___^

Yup ... and it was sooo cute to the the looks of horror on their faces when it was first suggested. I suspect most of the stuff that they cook is pre-prepared and they are told beforehand what to do and how to do it but I could be wrong.

I always figured that as well ^^ not nice to put the boys on the spot :D

Yup, but they did well and did you see Shingo eating yet again? No wonder his weight is like a jo-jo :)

*nods* was cute how pleased they was that he liked it :)) I guess running around France makes you hungry :D

LOL normally you get off food when you are in France ;-) But seriously, the sushikan stuff looked not only weird but I don't think it was very tasty. Did you see Kimura's face? He was this close to spitting the stuff onto the plate again ... and Shingo was like, okay I can't make a funny face this is too bad :)

What I noticed is that Kimura ate MY FAVOURITE WATER Ice!!! Calippo Orange-Maracuja!!

ohh the food is that bad in France? lol...yeah I felt quite bad for them, they did not seem to enjoy it at all...lol...but not like they could say that :D

hehe, very coul :))

Oh it is not bad, traditional French food is yummilicious, but there are also the frogs, snails and stuff that is just gross :s

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

ohh yeah, I don't know why you wanna eat slugs *shudders*

Me neither ... they are icky. My first stepfather once made me eat them when I was about six or seven, he considered himself something of a gourmet. No wonder I turned vegetarian when I was 17.
