Here we go again. I love it when my beloved Indonesia featured on another country's TV show, especially on Japanese TV show because they tend to do funny things. So this time I want to talk about
Sekai no Hatemade Itte Q! (世界の果てまでイッテQ!) which aired on 31 August 2011. The talent of this show is
Tegoshi Yuuya (NEWS),
Becky,
Imoto Ayako,
Bobby, and a lot more. It is easy to find the video because there is JE talent on it, even I don't really interested with Tegoshi beside of his drawing xDD
(yes I really want a JE drawing competition xDD) I laugh a lot on this tv show.
Actually this is the second time Imoto come to Indonesia. The first time is when she is come to
Komodo Island, a unique island with endemic animal,
Komodo dragon, which you can only find here on Komodo Island, Indonesia. Indonesia is a rich and beautiful country, so if you said you already go to Bali, it doesn't mean that you have already come to Indonesia. Bali is only a little, little, little part of Indonesia. There is a lot interesting place in Indonesia!
She open her segment with a scene on
Monumen Nasional (Monas), on Jakarta as the background. She was talking about
Jilbab (or "hijab" or "veil" in english and arabic). So funny that she tried to used it, it is kinda pointless xDD Jilbab
is the practice of modesty and privacy in Islam so girls would not draw unwanted attention to themselves. Then, talk about Indonesia's flag which consist of two color, red and white, which
red implies for
bravery and
white implies for
purity. The same color with Japan's flag which consist of two color, red and white too. Imoto talking with a pedestrian and I'm pretty he didn't know anything about Japanese language xDD
So, the first segment = Imoto Ayako searching for
babirusa (not babyrousa xDD See
wiki, it is babirusa even on English, not babyrousa xDD
). As I know, babirusa is another endemic animal so it is sooooo rare to find. She came to Sulawesi island, which still have a lot of jungle. What kind of animal is a babirusa? Babi means pig, and rusa means deer. So it is an animal which appearance like a mix of pig and deer. It has four horns, and it said that it is searching for its own death. So we have the one of three
genius painter of JE, Tegoshi Yuuya to find out how is babirusa look like. I was laughing so hard seeing his draws xDD It is so scary xDD
Imoto went to Sulawesi to met the ranger of the forest. But the ranger himself never seen babirusa even he already work there as the ranger for 15 year! So, Imoto went to the zoo to see babirusa. Why babirusa addressed as an animal that searching for its own death? It is because of the horn. The horn shape is mending to its own head, so it can kill itself. So this one on the zoo have the horn cut to prevent suicidal death. So funny that Imoto said that babirusa is similar with Tegoshi Yuuya because of the searching-for-own-death side. Babirusa horn is seen as a symbol of power, so if the horn is long, the more babirusa can be so powerful, but if the horn is long, it can kill itself. Imoto pointed it is similar with Tegoshi which using an accessories which can make him dead from cold in winter just because it is look cool on him xDD
Then the second part is when Imoto trying to take a train in Jakarta. Okay, let me explain. There is two type of train for commotion people,
Economy train and
AC-Economy train (or change named to
Commuter Line train on November). The one Imoto take on this video is
Economy train which is really full on busy time. To compared, this show said that India's train is
300% from Japan's train, and Indonesia is
600%! (Just for information, that Japanese tend to take it wrong from
India (インド) and
Indonesia (インドネシア) because the same "Indo", I am really happy that this show can said it right xDD). Economy train is
not safe with a lot of people on it, not only the people on the inside and on the door, but there is people too on the rooftop of train. Even when it is not full, there is street musician, various train vendor, and a lot of beggar on it. The shooting take on
Manggarai station and
Pancasila University station.
It is so funny to watch this part. First, they said that they are searching for train to take on
Manggarai, but I think they can't take any of it so they move to
Pancasila University station. This time, Imoto and her cameraman can go in that train. It is so packed, so I bet it must be so stink of sweat and packed. The silly thing is Imoto challenged to read a newspaper on that condition. She take Yomiuri Shinbun, but she can't read it and used it to sweep her sweat instead xDD So her conclusion is : "
If you read a newspaper on the train, it will be a trash" xDD But when they get off from the train, Imoto realized that her cameramen is gone! xDD Because he is left off on the train, the cameramen try to take a picture from the door and the camera get knocked xDD So funny xDD
Then the last part is Imoto searching for
Mambo fish.
I myself never heard about Mambo fish xD Indonesia is a rich-of-nature country, and there is a thousand or maybe infinity kind of animal and plant you can find here. Maybe this scene take on
Bunaken, a marine park on Sulawesi which is famous for its biodiversity which is so attractive for the beautiful landscape under the sea and the various sea creature, it is a famous scuba-diving spot. They are searching for Mambo fish but they can't find it, but they successfully find rare creatures like
frog-fish which can walk by it hands, and
mimic-octopus which can mimicking the other sea-creature. Because they can't find Mambo fish, Imoto back to Japan to search
Mambo fish on a marine park called Mamboland xDD
