Is there anything you do on a regular basis for you body, Tomomi?
I recently started using body lotion to massage myself after I take a bath.
My whole body.
Legs?
Yes, my legs, because they get tired.
Do you do any training for your dances?
Hmm... Not really.
So you just dance...
Ah, well, not really training, but some members of the group recently started...
...doing things like yoga.
Oh really?
Not so much for training, but for toning the body.
How about you?
I'm really into yoga...
...so it makes me happy to hear that AKB members are also doing it.
It's a lot of fun and you can really stretch your entire body and it feels really good!
And I think it also might be good for relaxing the spirit.
You're kind of silly.
What? No, no I'm not.
I'll memorize some poses so that we can do them together next time.
Oh, no...
No, let's do it.
I'll do it by myself.
No, let's do it together.
For this next corner, Tomomi Itano will select something she wants everyone to know about.
This time we're going to introduce a dieting method used Atsuko Maeda.
I think being kawaii and losing weight are two things most women all over the world are interested in.
Yes, and a nice body goes well with kawaii fashion.
I think most people find dieting difficult.
But this diet is very simple. I hope everyone will give it a try.
What could it be?
Does such an easy diet exist?
J-Maru, can you tell us more?
Nin nin, leave it up to me!
The ninja art of ordering!
Here it is!
What a surprise.
This drink contains a food item that is a part of the latest dieting method.
Can you guess what it is?
It looks like apple sauce.
What about the smell?
Please have a taste.
Apple?
What is this? It's awful!
The aftertaste...
How can you lose weight with this?
And the answer is...
There is daikon in this drink.
No way this is popular right now.
All you need to do for the raw daikon diet is eat 300 or more grams of raw daikon twice a day.
This diet is considered effective because the enzymes found in daikon help improve metabolism and digestion.
Atsuko is on the daikon diet.
She is?
She was on it and put grated daikon into various kinds of dishes.
So she put it on her food, even on hamburgers.
And stews?
Also miso soup.
So everything...
So no cooking or boiling...
I think the best way is grating the daikon and eating it with food.
Please give it a try.
Are there any other diet methods used by AKB members?
A lot of us visit stone saunas.
It's something the members do after work because it's relaxing and brings a good sweat.
Yeah, I guess you need to go out and relax when you have the time, otherwise the stress will just build up.
Do you go with anyone?
I used to go a lot with Atsuko.
I've been going alone lately. Our schedules don't always match up.
Oh, by yourself?
Private rooms are nice because you don't have to worry about others.
I like to read magazines and stuff.
Is there anything you watch out for when you eat?
For dinner, I try not to eat a lot of carbs.
I only eat like, this much rice.
I do that a lot.
So I'll eat a lot of meat, but not a lot of carbs.
I think you can still lose weight like that.
Yuki, is there anything else you do, other than yoga? Like do you watch what you eat?
I'm not sure if this is a diet method, but I try to drink miso soup every morning.
...but I don't know if you lose weight that way.
I heard someone laugh. I was going to too, but I held back.
Don't many Japanese people drink it in the morning?
Hmm... Oh, I'm growing bitter gourds at home.
What are we talking about?
Is that a diet method?
No, but I will look into bitter gourd diets.
And if that becomes a future topic for this show...
Will the program survive that?
I hate to interrupt, but we have run out of time.
Yes.
How sad...
What's wrong?
He talks funny.
Do you think everyone now knows more about Japanese Kawaii?
What do you think?
I think so.
Let's continue to introduce good things about Japan.
Until next time!
Here is a summary of today's Japanese Kawaii.
No way!
The latest big eye make-up techniques.
It's like going to the dentist.
Ultrasonic waves help clean your teeth.
Rolling your way to a beautiful body.
This does not smell so good.
The raw daikon diet.
Be sure to watch the next show!
