(Noah) Satoko's Room: Taiji Ishimori (February 17th 2015)

We get the usual "I wanna be loved by you" opening by Satoko (the awful "talkin' 'bout your two girlfriends" song is played as per usual). A short promo from Satoko (whom blonde does not suit, but then again, this episode is going to be very much about hair), before we meet today's guest, Taiji Ishimori.

This episode was filmed in February 2015, which was round about the time that Noah had their range of Noah wrestlers themed as animals out, which is why we can see the Yone lizard on the wall behind Satoko and Ishimori (thank god its not the Sugiura baboon).

Ishimori seems to be a fidget; he doesn't sit still and is permanently either leaning backwards or towards the camera, he doesn't look like he is comfortable sitting in one position. He also has a habit of playing with his glasses or his hair. He is somewhat giggly too, pulls a funny face, at one point yawns into the camera, and seems to have a good sense of humor about himself.
It was Taiji Ishimori's 32nd birthday on the 10th February, and he was presented with a small cake with candles reading "32" which he blows out (to Satoko's loud singing of half of "Happy Birthday"). Unlike Hajime Ohara, (who was also presented with a cake and tore into it), he doesn't actually eat any of it, and although food is presented to guests as per usual, we don't actually ever see him eat anything, and Satoko doesn't try and feed him.

The usual career scroll is shown, this time its a split screen. As you can imagine it was quite extensive by 32, and there is a round of applause for when it is announced he is the four time winner of Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League. Aside from Kenoh, who wouldn't find it funny, and as per most guests there is a bit of teasing when Ishimori's face is replaced with that of the man who is showing the info and he is compared to a character in DragonBall Z (Ishimori finds it funny).

Some of the pictures seem to be Ishimori's hair throughout the years, some are awful, but he finds it very funny. The pictures range from when he had his long hair and mid 2000s curtain hair, to when he had his Vanilla Ice hair. Satoko asks "what the fuck?" and then jokes its "sexy".

The camera is very shaky in this episode, and along with the click and whirl of a camera, loud music and people in the background talking loudly, so the sound is not great, and its sometimes hard to make out what is being said.

At the end after the usual "Kiks Yone" ad break, when most of the song is played, complete with a "doo doo doo" chorus; Satoko and Ishimori appear to sing "Keep on Journey". I'm not sure exactly what this is, but I think it is a version of "Keep on Running" by Journey.
