What do you guys think of the quality of the acting in the aijou ippon drama?

I must admit that I have my problems with acting in Japanese TV dramas. Especially the male actors have a tendency to "ham it up", sometimes to the point of being almost unwatchably ludicruous. I don't know if the audience like it that way, but I guess so - why allow it otherwise.
But I have a hard time not falling off my chair laughing when I see/hear those over-the-top facial expressions and dense voices :-)

it's a garbage show that relies on embarrassing it's guests and physically humiliating them for cheap laughs.

Hey, i think you just said the reason why i like Utaban so much.

The girls seem to be taking everything pretty well. I never noticed much anger from any of the members. And when it did appear, it usually faded away in seconds. And like the girls themselves say "We come to Utaban to be made fun off".

Exactly. As I said: Don't take everything on that show at face value. It IS an entertainment program, and everyone there does play a role that fits the script so to speak. They all know what's expected of them and what makes viewers come back, and everyone acts accordingly. The whole attire will look totally different once the cameras are turned off.

Umm, I am unfamiliar with the term 'ham it up'. Although I must say, sometimes some of the more heart-warming scenes tend to get a little cheesy IMHO.

In other words: Overacting for the balcony seats :-)

Btw according to hurtwou that News24 commercials I uploaded contains Aya talking about a new single release....
That cm appeared yesterday, but without a date given, so it might actually be from the time before the cancellation. I just don't know.

A few caps from the new Meringue:

Hey Matt! Matsuura's Birthday is in a few hours! Will you make a party?

[Fumie]

That picture is nice, but... it's been airbrushed WAY too much. Ayaya looks far too unnatural. =/
