Finally got a chance to see Himitsu No Arashi’s VIP Room Special Episode subtitled (thanks Saobang2211!) which was a compilation of various clips that were edited out of the aired show. I remember the last time they had this special; there were lots of cool things left out that we got to see (like Keiko Kitagawa telling them about a director hitting her on the head with a rolled-up magazine), so I was looking forward to this one!
Several of the clips they showed were stuff that you could see why it was cut- stuff like Aiba talking about running around naked and falling down in concert- funny, yes, but not really about the featured VIP Room guest. But there were a few things that were so FUNNY, it would have really been a shame to not SHARE them!
In particular was the one with Ayase Haruka and the one with Aragaki Yui. In the Ayase Haruka one, they showed a clip of Haruka-chan and the Arashi Boys attempting to jump rope 30 times together, and it is HILARIOUS to watch the zany hijinks going on as they struggle to get the feat done!

| Ganbarou! |

The other focused on Aragaki Yui’s strange turn-on of seeing muscular arms with veins popping out, and so they had the boys stand behind a board and flex! She then inspected each arm and then judged the best and WORST one! Interesting and al, but I admit that the thing that really made this clip for me was how FRICKING PRETTY Gakky is in this episode. Some guests dress up for the VIP Room and some don’t, and it was HEAVEN to see her dressed in such a classy, feminine and fashionable outfit!

So much fun watching these, I could watch ‘em forever, and you just KNOW there’s probably tons of stuff they still HAVEN’T shown! That’s the great thing about this show- so much interesting stuff is going on all the time, it’s always edit, edit, edit!
Side Note: One episode in particular seemed primed for the unaired clips show, and that was when luscious Michiko Kichise came on. She had remembered something silly or embarrassing, and couldn’t stop laughing thinking about it. I was waiting for her to tell Arashi what the joke was, but she never said anything about it! Car figured, “Maybe they’re saving that for the unaired clips episode”. I hoped she was right, but sadly, they didn’t have anything from Michiko’s episode, so I guess we’ll never know what she thought was so funny!

Side-Side Note: Just glancing over at the collage of female guests they featured in this episode, it strikes me just how many of my favorite “Crush Of The Day” actresses have appeared on VIP Room In that collage alone were Aragaki Yui, Ayase Haruka, Yamada Yu, Koyuki, and Yoshitaka Yuriko! MAN, no WONDER I love this show so much!!!!
