"This ramen is life." As an ALT here in Japan, I would've given Agu-pon credit for using actual casual English even if she meant to use different words. Sure, this was for a variety show and the emphasis was on "proper English", but as long as the grammar is coherent (or you know how and when to break the grammatical rules), casual English should still be counted as legitimate English. True story - a few weeks ago, one of my 9th graders gave a short PowerPoint presentation on Japanese idols and, with a picture of his favourite idol and knowing full damn well what the English he specifically looked up meant, finished with a heartfelt "I stan her." Instant legend material. If I had been in that ramen restaurant, I would've called Agu-pon a legend right there on the spot.
Well, in that case, here's more info! Her hair was as long as it is now back when she first signed up for the beauty contest, but during the course of the contest, she got it cut short so as to look like someone that she really admired. In fact, you can see that person at the end of this video. It's the MC of the show, Ayame Goriki.
Oh! Hi, Brian! This is certainly unexpected. Didn't know you had a TH-cam channel. Well, let's just get the serious stuff out of the way first. If you feel that we should take down this video because you're in it, just say the word and it'll be done promptly. The purpose of this video was just to help Onishi-san's international fans learn more about her. Obviously, we didn't receive any permission, and the use of fair use is probably debatable here. Otherwise, do you mind if we add a link to your channel in the video description? I mean, even though this video isn't primarily about introducing ramen, I'm sure there are viewers who are interested in your insight on ramen.
@@NijiFansPara It's totally fine with me, but I have no say in the matter to be honest. The TV show was produced by a Japanese media company and aired on a network TV channel. One of them probably owns the rights. This has nothing to do with my personal TH-cam channel. Feel free to link my channel. That's cool! Your video is great, and I'm happy to see that Aguri-chan has fans around the world!
@@NijiFansPara I didn't post shots of the girls on my website, but there are some photos of them signing plaques at a couple shops here: ramenadventures.com/listing/%e9%b3%a5%e7%a9%ba%e6%b5%b7-torikukai-in-kawaguchi/ ramenadventures.com/listing/%e3%81%bb%e3%81%86%e3%81%8d%e3%81%bc%e3%81%97-hokiboshi-in-akabane/ Thought you might find that interesting.
@@ramenadventure That's cool to hear. Thanks! All the best with your channel. Btw, not sure if you've been keeping up with Agupon's news, but after X21, she went on to become a voice actress, fulfilling her dream of becoming an actress. Recently, she even made her debut as a solo artist. She really do have tons of fans all over the world now. =D
Those 2 are so alike in terms of career development. Both went from teen idol to actress to voice actress to school idol. One of them is the self-proclaimed most beautiful seiyuu in the world, while the other was the finalist of a bishoujo beauty contest.
@@NijiFansPara true, i kinda known the girls in the past but they really shine when they become part of love live franchise, these LL project is really bigdeal! and i just saw the the first episode of agupon new show, its great they choose rikyako as first guest, their having tons of fun! hoping for another LL seiyuu to guest ^_^
@R.Q. R.Q 2018, back when she first debut as a solo artist. At this point, she's known by that title among casual fans. It's even used officially to promote her photobook.
@R.Q. R.Q A Rikyako fan, huh? Well, just do a google search on the term "声優界最高の美女" and you'll get a bunch of news articles headlines about Rikyako from the past few years, dating back to late 2017/ early 2018. If the headlines of an article uses that term, you'll know it's an article about Rikyako. I don't even remember when or where I first saw it exactly. lol. Shows you just how long it's been around, and how often it's used. Honestly, I thought everyone would know about this by now.
Really? Then I'm happy to tell you that you also share the same birthday as Maki's seiyuu. Two school idol seiyuus in one day. Congratulations, buddy! :D

In this episode? No. She's been doing this TV show for a few years by the time she's was 18. She wasn't in all of the episodes since this show has a rotating cast of 21 members, hence the name of the group, X21. She also played a supporting character in the live action movie adaptation of "Saki", but that's another story.

And its still iconic even in February 2024.
"This ramen is life" - Agupon, 2016
Ayumu chan eight years ago, much like Mia Taylor, speaks english very fluently indeed.
love me a good A M E R I C A N J O K E
I just love how that was the most dad joke ever told made by a guy who looks like a dad
@@MarqrkKen Masters surprisingly also likes ramen noodle like Aguri Onishi.
AGUPON WITH SHORT HAIR NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS GKDJFKD

@@NijiFansParaAyumu Uehara-chan with short hair as the X21 member is simply simply lovely!
This video...enjoy...only enjoy
Wow, this brings back memories. I think I did about 5 of these X21 videos. Not sure how many times with Aguri-chan.

She has always had such a dry sense of humor! Love her haha
Fernando Alonso to Young Ayumu Uehara: I love your sense of humour.😅
That last part blew me away. Is that Aida Rikako?!
It is. Surprise!
I never would've known that I would born on the same day as Ayumu's seiyuu.
Otanjobi omedeto, Agupon! :D
Really? Then I'm happy to tell you that you also share the same birthday as Maki's seiyuu. Two school idol seiyuus in one day. Congratulations, buddy! :D

@@NijiFansPara Thanks!
Agupon 1st tv appearance??.
In this episode? No. She's been doing this TV show for a few years by the time she's was 18. She wasn't in all of the episodes since this show has a rotating cast of 21 members, hence the name of the group, X21. She also played a supporting character in the live action movie adaptation of "Saki", but that's another story.
I got secondhand embarrassment watching Agupon 😁
This Soup, only Ok....
Sardine = thirteen XD
