Finally, I and my partner just subbed new Absolutely Tasty. It is "Cooking I wanted to try" competition which each member can choose anything he wanted to try. I know it should be released on January 1, 2014 but somehow we had a problem with uploading this new content. It took few days to resolve the problem. We recently released the second part on today.
We are happy to share you new content. We hope you will enjoy watching this one. By the way, if you want to know what new contents we are planning to work, you can visit us on Facebook page.
I always thought karai meant spicy, and that if you wanted to say salty, you had to say shioppai! I guess from context, how could miso coffee not be salty?
I had salty tea once at the company onsen. My wife told me that it was made from cherry blossoms, so I expected it to be a bit like rosehip tea. It was also supposed to be good for me. I took a swig and wanted to spit it out, but the gaijin guest has to always be super polite. I finished it, pretending it was chicken broth.
Matsumoto kills me . I am pretty sure Itao coined the nickname [i:2xbg4dl3]Hama-yanen[/i:2xbg4dl3] in the police batsu during his "funeral". i never got Japanese colours… why is aka- 赤 (red) translated as "bad" sometimes…like "kore wa aka"?.(in video @ 2:35)

Maybe it has to do something with japanese culture, like, they tend to take purple (I think) as the color of the death. Not sure if that is the color or it was another.
Aka is red. There was an error in the subtitles. What Tsukitei Hosei actually said is "Akan", which is a way to say unacceptable or something like that. I think it’s slang or Osaka-ben. I think the "proper" way to say it would be chigau.
Downtown used to do a show called Akan Keisatsu. The Unacceptable Police or whatever. Part of the show would discuss the peculiar favourite foods of guest celebrities. The other panelists would determine whether these food items were acceptable or not by holding up cards which said "akan" or "akan ku nai" (unacceptable or not unacceptable).
