here I come with the screencaps and gifs! :D
*sorry for bad quality of gifs and screencaps
I was totally laughing at this. LOL. *cough* a safe sport in which nobody gets hurt?! who are you kidding yo. XD
So Jun the minor sports bancho introduces Netball. ^^
Jun was explaining how you can't dribble the ball, and you only can put your hands up 90cm away from the player (ie three feet), in which Jun demonstrates in the cap. And if you can see the subs, it's Aiba complaining how "that takes all the fun out of basketball" XDD
Aiba complaining while riidaa is laughing at him XD
so they explain how the game works and played a demo match for Arashi to see.
And they want to try it! :D
TADA! the line-up! Ohno as C (center), Jun as WA (wing attack), Sho as GA (goal attack) and Aiba as GS (goal shooter). :D
so before the match they need to have their nails checked by the umpire. And they found ohno's nails to be too long. XD
the first pass! :D (from my point of view it looks like Sho is stepping but oh well XD)
Ohno --> Sho
2nd pass! :D (nice pass)
Sho --> Aiba
3rd pass. (really nice pass :D) but actually it should be a held ball alr XD lol at Aiba lifting his leg up and Sho running half a circle.
I don't know if Sho attempted to shoot or he wanted to pass to Aiba but anyway, both of them failed terribly. XD And they totally looked like they were playing basketball instead.
Aiba thinks that netball is pretty hard! (well it is...)
And as expected of Jun/minor sports bancho, he intercepted a pass! :D And then almost immediately passes the ball to Aiba. (fast release. good timing. oh mslin would be proud XD)
Another nice pass from bancho! :D And nice dodges and catch from Aiba too. while Sho stands there not helping at all XDD
And Aiba attempts to shoot again... with his leg lifted up XD And super LOL at Sho STILL standing outside the goal circle not doing anything! XD As a GA, you're supposed to go in and help the GS get rebound! hahaha.
Things to look out for in this gif:
1. Ohno's elegant catch
2. Ohno hesitating to pass to Sho, who is dodging away from the ball even before the ball reaches him, like saying "no no no don't pass to me"
3. Ohno still decides to pass to Sho, who catches it just right in front of his face in a weird position.
/shofail. :D
but don't worry. Jun and Aiba saves the day! :D (Jun's passes and Aiba's runs are like wow. they really have the chemistry! :3)
Attempt-Rebound-Shot! :D (but still his style is totally basketball-style. XD)
Jun bancho thinks they can win~
Aiba is desperately calling for tighter defence!
while Sho just puts his hands on his hips and I caught him in the middle of a sniff. XD
in the end, they lost. 8D And their comments on the sport:
Sho: It just feels like we're playing a prelude to basketball.
Jun: Yeah, you sort of start to go... and then hold back, right?
Sho: There's nothing dangerous about it. (oh no Sho, you're totally wrong. XD)
Yupp. so that concludes the arashi x netball post! :D please forgive me for the flail, because never in my life would I have thought that I could put arashi and netball together. Netball is a female-only sport technically, and like said earlier, is considered a minor sport in Japan, so who would have thought?! :D thank you g no arashi!
