Sake no Sakana Ustream short roundup


Tonight was the Sake no Sakana Ustream featuring Yamaguchi Ichiro of Sakanaction and Hoshino Gen.

Due to my bad Internet connection, my stream skipped quite alot, but here's a roundup of the event.

The first section of the event featured two of them taking random boards with questions of them from a prepared stack, and then both of them would answer the question on it.

One of the more notably funny parts was when they were asked "which musicians are you good friends with?" Yamaguchi brought Koide Yusuke of Base Ball Bear up, although not a surprise. He also said Hoshino-san which sparked giggles among the crowd and Twitterers. And lastly both brought ROY of THE BAWDIES up, and then they both said to each other "I won't lose!"

After the question and answer section, both of them took a short break, and then came back to perform live! Yamaguchi performed Mikadzuki Sunset and Yoru no Higashigawa live with an acoustic guitar, so it was something never seen before. It was a very emotional performance, although broken by crowd laughter when Yamaguchi playfully tried to sing Identity in an emotional way. Hoshino also performed two songs, Futon and Roufuufuu. In between, he teased the audience by playing a few notes of Endless.

The event ended with the two of them (mostly led by Yamaguchi) making the crowd copy what they said, which was about making NHK or BS channel carry the Sake no Sakana program. The actual phrase they made the crowd say was a joke.

どうかサケノサカナをNHKのなんやらかんやらに、流してやってください、そしてそれを収益として僕らにキックバックしてください
 Please let Sake no Sakana be shown on NHK somehow, and then please give us the revenue so we can kickback (and relax).

Twitterers joined in and tweeted the same phrase, causing "どうかサケノサカナ" and "キックバック" to trend at 4th place and 9th place respectively, for a short while. A great way to end the program if you ask me.

I do hope they rerun this program on Ustream again because I really liked the acoustic live part.
