A few more hints will be provided shortly, as requested Rawrr!

Here are a few for starters...

The "Accident" that happened in one of ZONE's PV's, happened in "Boku wa Maguma". Does anybody remember what happened?

Maiko said that her ideal boyfriend would look like the sign on ___________ .

The worst prank ever played on Mizuho? "Spin The Wheel"...

 

[TheFrustrated]

The spinwheel...it kept going back. It was rigged. By the way, what did happen in Boku wa Maguma?

Watch carefully around 2:40...

OWWW!

OH!!! I guess they liked it so much they decided to leave it in. Atleast she was laughing. But that could have hurt. She was like 12 and she didn't seem to be hurt so it must have been alright.

Takayo used the same guitar in "boku wa maguma" and "True blue". I think..

Hi folks, yes it's slow....so here's a trivia or 2 question for you all. I'm sure half of you will know this one.
The girls appeared a couple of times on Fujii Rocks, a talk show for JPOP musicians. Who recognizes
Fujii as someone else the girls know well. He is a well respected POP star in his own right and has had
a supporting actors role in a least major 5 TV dramas, been full or part time host of 6 talk shows, acclaimed
choreographer and dancer.  Oh, and several big movies. A busy guy.






Does anyone know how many shows that the girls appear with him on? I'm not including concerts.
I know of twice on this show, 3 on his next show and twice on other talk shows. (7 that I have seen)
Has anyone seen more? .....this is far more than any other guest he had.
Did anybody like this or was it to easy?

what? nobody's responded to this?  then i will!  it's matthew of course from best hit TV!  on one of my flights in japan, there was a children's music channel, and he was the host/DJ    i wonder if i've seen all the instances of matthew/ZONE together... i can only remember these:

1.  the one you showed where they discuss miyu's cute little backpack
2.  one where he barges in on them rehearsing "morning glory" which i think is the same as the one where he imitates mizuho's enthusiastic dancing
3.  one where mizuho is hiding at first, which i think is the same as the one where they pass an inflating balloon back and forth so they won't be stuck holding it when it pops
4.  best hit generation where they act as tour guides in the roppongi hills area of tokyo
5.  best hit generation where they play the wonderzone PS2 game and watch scary movies (which is AWESOME)

what are the others i'm missing?  oh wait, there's the one where he meets tomoka for the first time and is like "hey who's this kid?" but i don't think i've ever seen that whole thing.

also, i'm still stumped on an earlier trivia question: what did maiko say her ideal boyfriend would look like?  is this from an interview on that "chanoma girls" talk show?  i vaguely remember them discussing boys on that show.

Great Revsfan, you got a few of them but there are more, Matthew/Fujii had a long history with Zone and some think....Mizuho.
I would guess not romantic but he may have considered her for a future in Japanese television and entertainment as a
musician/ entertainer like himself. (a mentor?) Over the course of the 8 episodes I have listed he spends about 1/2 of all his time w/ Mizuho.
Miyu gets a lot of attention and Tomoka gets some as well. Takayo and Maiko seem to get very little. There was talk somewhere (hello online?)
that just before the band broke up there was a break in their friendship, nothing solid only rumor. Anyway, I have gone over my
clips and have found 2 episodes of Fujii Rocks, the backpack one and one where they are eating and have their names on a board w/ some
kind of word associations. Then I found I had
Matthews Best Hits from:
1-22-2002 ..............Mizuho hides, Matthew has flowers, all off stage
11-20-2002 ............Mizuho pushes Matthew away from camera, movie reviews
2003? .....................At the amusement park, dances/goofs off w/ Mizuho
2003? .....................Matthew interrupts practice, Mizuho, Matthew dance
5-19-2004...............Starts with restaurant scene, "who's the new kid?", Tomoka eats an olive
2004/5? ..................At amusement park, girls try to sing on rides while screaming ( can't find anymore, may have lost this one, very rare) Tomoka is a riot!!
200?........................I can't find my tour guide episode either or it's part of another one.

And of course his great appearance at the Summer 2004 tour concert outdoors. I'm sure no other band has been such a regular on his show.
He works in the studio sometimes w/ Tommy February6 as his producer, she's much more than a singer, very talented herself.
Also at one of the Kouhaku's they were at Fujii is a host when they participated in the 'Zun-Zun-Doko' song (Kiyoshi no Soran bushi??) Mizuho
really shined on that performance, great dancing and energy, good performance by whole band at prestigious event.
Yes a long history there with Fujii and ZONE. Thats what I have now, but will be looking for more.
good luck in your searches fellow fans.
