This is Tomomi Itano's Love Japan Ranking.
What?!
What is that?!
Yes, that. And the thumb.
The middle of the thumb too?
Let's learn how. Seriously. Ok?
What did Tomomi promise to learn?
Tomomi Itano's Love Japan Ranking Episode 11.
I have something to report. I have done research on the latest nail technique.
What is it?
If you take a close look. A really close look.
Diamonds are embedded.
What?!
What's that?!
You kept silent all this time, even though we did the stuff on diamonds?
Diamonds are embedded.
They are!
They are shining. Can you tell?
- This? - On the ring finger?
The thumb too.
The middle of the thumb too?
Oh, that's a diamond?
Each one is about 4,000 yen.
What?! That's pricey!
Woah!
It is. But the shine is different.
I would like to introduce this cutting edge technique for the first time ever. Here is the video.
Yoshie will now introduce a cutting edge nail technique she Really Loves.
Yoshie focused on...
...the latest diamond embedding technique for nails.
There were many problems with previous methods.
This is how things were done before.
Diamonds were placed on top of an adhesive gel.
The diamonds were set by applying a second layer of adhesive gel.
But that method produced inconsistent results, like crooked diamonds or uneven nails.
A new technique, one that Yoshie Really Loves, was developed.
What is the latest technique?
This special drill is a part of the new technique.
If you look at the tip of the drill...
You will see that it is shaped like a diamond.
The drill is used to create a hole in the layered adhesive gel...
A diamond is placed in the hole...
And a top coat is applied.
This is a very simple way to cleanly set a diamond.
Yoshie's recommendation was the latest technique for diamond nails.
A drill?
Yes, a drill is used to create a hole for the diamond. This ensures a clean set.
And the surface does not get very bumpy.
So it really gets embedded.
And the drill doesn't reach the nail?
A safety keeps the drill from going too far.
The diamond doesn't come off?
No, the diamond doesn't come off.
The patent on this is still pending, so it is still very new.
A Japanese person thought of this?
Yes, a Japanese person.
I actually have a drill here. Please take a look.
How much do you have back there.
Like Doraemon's pocket, many things.
Kawaii!
Be careful, these are real drills.
This brings back memories. The girls learned how to cook but I made radios with other boys using tools like this.
Really?
Yeah. Girls did stuff like cook, right? Boys made stuff using tools.
- But these are made for nails, right? - For nails.
- Diamond nails. - Shaped like a diamond.
I had these brought in. These all have diamonds in them.
- Diamonds? - Yes.
Oh yeah, very nice.
Wow.
Very pretty.
The shine IS different.
Isn't it?
Yes, different.
Yeah.
Each diamond is about 4,000 yen.
Five small diamonds, plus work, costs about 28,000 yen.
28,000 yen?
That's not too bad.
Really fancy nails cost about the same.
You can also pick one diamond.
Good for weddings and Christmas.
Parties.
Valentines.
Anniversaries.
I hate to say it, but we're running out of time.
- Already? - That's too bad!
What did you think of the shiny theme?
Today was a lot of fun. I learned a lot.
The night view was beautiful too.
Very nice view.
A lot of fun. And Ai joined us too.
I'm really into fashion and beauty, but there were things I didn't know.
It was a lot of fun.
That shiny stuff is really shining now.
Really? You're not just saying that, are you?
No, seriously. I'm telling the truth.
That's not sweat, right?
Not sweat!
Do I have the Miss Universe look?
So I'm finally getting that Miss Universe look?
Certainly took a while.
I'm happy. The shiny stuff made me feel shiny inside.
It was a lot of fun.
Tomomi, is there anything you would like to do through this program?
Hmm... Cooking!
Cooking?
Yeah, I think girls are interested in cooking.
And I think Japan must have a lot of new techniques.
Like those things that make bread automatically.
- Bread makers? - Bread makers.
For personal use.
Yes. And the new types of mixers.
Wait, you want to learn how to cook, but you're picking machines that do it for you.
No, but everyone needs to know this stuff.
She made me a dish one time and it tasted really good.
You cook?
I thought it tasted really good and then I noticed a pre-made soup in the kitchen.
So let's learn. Let's seriously learn how to cook.
But how do you tell people about a dish you make?
But maybe there is a good pot you can use.
The latest Japanese pot.
Use seasonal ingredients.
Let's try that at some point.
Please look forward to our next installment of Love Japan Ranking!
- Bye-bye! - Bye!
Which way?
- Bye! - Tokyo Tower is a different color too!
This is fun.
