NAOTO at SASUKE 2011 on EXILE魂

On tonight's episode of EXILE魂 we got a peek of EXILE member NAOTO at SASUKE 2011.

Towards the end of the show, they have guest テリー伊藤 (Terry Itou) who is a producer/talent/whathaveyou.

One of the main themes of EXILE魂 is that the members undertake different sorts of "challenges" such as surfboard graphic design and Samoan fire knife dancing. Terry's challenge is, if you haven't guessed, SASUKE.

They will decide who will go on SASUKE via roulette! One option is for all the members. Who will it be?
Photobucket

NAOKI?
Photobucket

USA?
Photobucket


KENCHI?
Photobucket

The least likely option ATSUSHI? (This is because he and member TAKAHIRO are the main singers of the group whereas the other members are mainly dancers and are decidedly more athletic than those two). We'll find out soon!

But first, a song.

Back. Will it really be ATSUSHI?

While that would be where the roulette should stop, it suddenly goes up to NAOTO! I think it was rigged! (Actually, there was probably no way it was going to be any of the original members so it would have never landed on any of them or the "everyone" space.)

NAOTO is suitably perplexed.

While ATSUSHI is relieved.

So NAOTO will have a run at SASUKE 2011!
Photobucket


He's supported by the members of J SOUL BROTHERS who..ah, just look it up.  Photobucket

130 seconds for the 1st Stage!
Photobucket

It's the first obstacle, the ステップスライダー (Step Slider) probably.
Photobucket

Here he goes!
Photobucket

One.
Photobucket

Two.
Photobucket

Three.
Photobucket

Four
Photobucket

Grab the rope!
Photobucket

Right. Like they were really going to show what happens next.
Photobucket

The other guys look happy though. So maybe something happens. Who knows?!
Photobucket

The crowd! Is! There!
Photobucket

SASUKE 2011!
Photobucket

You can kind of get a look at some of 1st Stage here. Not much though.
Photobucket

Although you can see something there at the bottom.

Finally, here's an animated gif that moves way too fast.
