My Sweet Meetan

I have been saving this post for some reason.  But before it gets too stale…

One of the lesser known AKB48 television shows appears on one of those satellite channels (like SKE Gakuen and Idoling!!!)  It is called AKB 1/48, and it features two members doing various activities around Japan.  And last Christmas Meetan was featured bar/club-hopping around Roppongi with fellow SDN48er Kohara Haruka.  Let’s join in on the action…

The ladies arrive at the smallest comedy club I have ever seen.  Then again this is Japan, where they have a crazy knack for squeezing a lot of stuff into a small space…or have you never been to the AKB48 Theater?

First drink of the night.  This will be a recurring theme.  I am reasonably sure that Ohori is no lightweight when it comes to downing the booze.  She starts out with some sort of fru fru Pina Colada looking thing.  Hey it’s early!  The evening of fun is just beginning…

Personally I have become jaded when it comes to comedians.  And I have to be honest I just don’t get Japanese comedy at all.  Most of it is really old school, like vaudeville type of stuff.  Japanese comedians either have some sort of strange catch phrase (”Gets”, “Ai~n” etc.), do some sort of prop comedy ala Carrot Top, or they do the classic “straight man/fall guy” team thing like Abbott and Costello.  That said, I didn’t see anything particularly funny going on here.  But Meetan is laughing her butt off!

And what a cute butt it is  In fact she might be laughing a little too hard.  Usually that type of stuff annoys me.  But this is Meetan.  So I’m just excited to see her smiling and enjoying herself. 

A romantic stroll in Roppongi.  I’m so jealous!

I don’t know how they got separated, but now Meetan is alone in the bar ripe to be picked up by some smarmy guy.  But this bar seems to be empty.  There isn’t even a bartender.  These girls need to pick a more hip place to hang out!

Meetan’s date finally arrived.  I think this is drink #3.  She seems to have switched to something a little harder too.  What is that, a Cosmo?  I can’t tell if it is pink or not.  Don’t tell me she is drinking a Vodka-Tonic.  I knew we were compatible!!!

While Meetan gulps down her cocktail and Harukachan pretends to drink hers, the girls talk about cute girly idol things.  And this was about the time when Ohori’s gravure DVD came out, so she takes a minute to do a little promotion.  By the way, did you buy your copy yet???

And there ya go.  That’s about as close as any of us are going to get to a date with Meetan.  So what did we learn?  Two things really.  Meetan likes to laugh, and Meetan likes to drink.  But that’s no surprise really, we all knew she was sort of a “party girl”

And isn’t that why we love her anyway?  Great job Meetan!
