Does that mean they'll have to say something as they go around Tokyo?

It means the phrase "speaking of something...(in Tokyo)" is given to them. For example, if "speaking of CLOCK..." is given in London and all of them gather at Big Ben, the challenge ends.

Is there an easy way to download from that site?

At 5:30, the narrator just says the show airs next year. Don't know exactly when, but the first episode features Gaki.

wth? why did they censor the stars on their waistcoats at the end?

Matsumo says, "This is really 'Goodbye Yamasaki'." "The time has finally come." [Music starts.] Yama says, "So, all this Produce stuff is for the Goodbye stuff?"

What Yama says over the music is 前振り.

can anybody help translate the 6th minute until where he says Endo did a good job? because I am stumped. The lyrics read, "You ride the bike all night." Yama explains, "It wasn't 'bike' orginally but 'me'." Hamada asks, "Why change?" Yama answers, "It could've bee...

Not every Japanese person/duo/group feels the need to officialize his/her/its name in the Latin alphabet. Having said that, speakers of those languages that rarely use "k" and those who know the French word "coquerico" tend to use "c." Also, there are a few ways to tran...

I think it's supposed to mean something like cat burglar. Watch the show, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Nekobaba sounds like a weird term for that. Anyone know why it's called that?

Nekobaba = grandma cat? At least that's what a I thought when I first saw the word.
