The Judges |

- "If I sing a high note, then I don't need a mic" *crowd cheering*
- "I want my glasses to shatter..." - Hong
- "I want my contacts to shatter..." - audience
- "The ever loveable and identifiable 'Card Captor Tommy'...
- "it [the costume] was shexshee..."
- "... and finally one half of the Silver Night, 'Naveed'"
|

And with time to spare... so begins the traditional judges entertainment...

- "Ar... c'mon *exasperation*"

- "They're gonna sing Boku de aru tame ni the opening to Taiho Shichauzo..."
- "Well, they're not going to sing [that], but instead from DNA^2, Single Bed [ED]..."
- "Err okay, they're not going to do Single Bed, they're going to sing Happy Summer Wedding by Morning Musume"
|

Fact of the day: Hong was the lead guitarist of 5XL... "was" T.T"

- Apparently there was more time so Hong and Tommy started Boku de aru tame ni. This time they really did sing it :b And don't you hate guitarist doing air guitars? They look like they actually know what they're doing...
