Continuing on from last time

"Is it only my family that does this?"

the slightly unusual rules in their family will be announced

The first rule

Only the oldest brother gets birthday presents

Who has this one?

That's mine

Inoue That's mine

Inoue

Huh?

What's this about?

The Inoue family puts way too much importance

on Japan's customs

The oldest male is supposed to inherit everything

so he becomes very important

So then only my older brother

gets this special treatment

Its only on my brother's birthday

that we'll travel

and he gets presents as well

On his birthday he gets treated like a god

He gets lots of presents?

Its incredible He gets lots of presents?

Its incredible

Pretty much

for the birthday parties

they do those for everyone but

we don't get presents

So in Inoue's case, she doesn't get any

And I was born in December, so with Christmas

and New Year's close by And I was born in December, so with Christmas

and New Year's close by

all those events get lumped together

Does your brother get birthday cake too?

He gets birthday cake and sushi

So you've never received a birthday present?

I'd get like 10 yen and apples So you've never received a birthday present?

I'd get like 10 yen and apples

Why 10 yen?

They're making a fool out of you

[ Don't even bother level present ]

10 yen

Since I don't really get anything

when I first joined Nogizaka

and got a birthday cake from everyone I broke down in tears

[ Tears of gratitude birthday ]

I was like "Thank goodness I was born"

[ Found the meaning of life ]

Its been for generations

That's why its like that

My dad was also the oldest of his family

That's how it turned out like this

He's properly following past generations

That's got to be hard

With regards to birthdays

Nakada

hai

Nakada also has something

In my family

whenever someone has a birthday

At the Hotel Intercontinental whenever someone has a birthday

At the Hotel Intercontinental

we'll eat at their dinner buffet

Are you rich or something?

[ Celebrity birthday? ]

I'm an only child

if it weren't for that this probably wouldn't happen

I thought this was perfectly normal

when I joined Nogizaka, I realized it wasn't normal

They're all low class right

[ Found the lower class ]

On the same floor

of the hotel

there's a cake shop there. We buy one to take home

That's why those cake and patissier places are good when you're on your way home

But that cake, how do I say this

I didn't associate the cakes with birthdays

I thought you could eat those anytime

[ Cakes are a part of daily life ]

And the next rule

Sundays are for ramen rice

This sounds normal though

Who does this one?

Asuka-chan

hai

Not normal then

On weekends and holidays

my dad is in charge of the meals

but if for some reason he can't make the meal

then my mom

will make something

On Sundays, she wants to relax so

making food gets annoying

so pretty much the usual Sunday afternoon meal is ramen rice

its just white rice

with cup ramen dumped on top

Stop. Hold it right there!

[ Shitara requesting police intervention ]

You pour cup ramen on top?

I put the cup ramen

on top

and eat it like that

With the rice?

The rice

with the noodles

The rice isn't on the side?

The rice is under the noodles

[ Ramen on rice ]

The rice is already in there. This is opposite of what I was thinking

I'll put the ramen on top

and then add the poto-poto-pottosu

[ Terada family original slang ]

You add poto-poto-pottosu to that?

High calories!

Calories so high

And with that

right here she'll make the Saito family ramen rice

Does it matter what flavor the ramen is?

You can use any flavor Does it matter what flavor the ramen is?

You can use any flavor

But the potato chips should be seaweed and salt flavored

So what flavor is this? Salt flavor?

salt

Ahh, that's good

Aren't you just normally slurping soup right now?

[ Random taste test ]

oishii

You take this.

Why would you put it on top?

dump it in

Why not just eat it like that? Like that is fine

You put the soup in too then

Put some in

You could pour more in if you wanted

I don't get why you add the poto-poto-pottosu? You could pour more in if you wanted

I don't get why you add the poto-poto-pottosu?

I'm not understanding adding snacks on top of rice

[ High calorie version ]

Who invented this?

Mama. Mama created this

At my house we eat fat people food

You're skin and bones!

[ All had the same joke ]

Both of us called her skin and bones

The Saito family specialty ramen rice is complete

But what will it taste like?

Is it the same?

No doubt about it...its good Is it the same?

No doubt about it...its good

mmmm...its good, its good

[ The strongest combo ]

Its really good but

well it is good

This is really freakin good well it is good

This is really freakin good

Its so good

I'm glad the potato chips are in there Its so good

I'm glad the potato chips are in there

Good texture

And now other members will give it a taste

Good right? How is it?

How is it?

oishii

Its delicious then

I want to eat it plain

[ Craving cup ramen ]

Why you eating it plain?

oishii

Should we end it here?

You're eating potato chips?

[ Snack time? ]

You just ate a potato chip didn't you

Don't eat potato chips with chopsticks!

[ Eating normally ]

The poto-poto-pottosu

These are really good! Its salt and seaweed

But really

For over half a year

I banned potato chips

Why?

diet?

hai

But you're skinny!

I'm the one who shouldn't eat potato chips

But after new years

The person who's most worried about weight was eating all that rice

[ Himura's staple diet ]

Its not fair to bring that out here

And then Yamashita has something rice related

3rd class

hai Yamashita

hai

There's something unusual about your rice? hai

There's something unusual about your rice?

Everyone serves white rice at home right

For us its all salted rice

Salted rice?

We put salt on top

of the rice that's served We put salt on top

of the rice that's served

It gives it a strong taste

So everyone sprinkles salt on top as soon as its served?

[ Basically salted rice ]

And the family likes this?

We also all like strong flavored side dishes

and carbonated drinks

[ Straight path to unhealthy living ]

We put salt on everything

You really like that strong flavor then

Do you still eat like that?

When I go back to my parents house Do you still eat like that?

When I go back to my parents house

they put dressing on the rice

They put it together!

You really don't like plain rice then

Do you like sauces too?

We don't use the sauce

You don't have any sauce?

Sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, we hate all of it

[ Sauces are forbidden ]

What's the deal with that?

What do you put on liver then?

We put salt on it

Is this because you love salt?

Soy sauce?

We use soy sauce too

we'll put soy sauce and then add salt

What? Why?

I'll eat soy sauce rice

Eh? Hold on

You add the salt after the soy sauce?

[ Excess saltiness ]

I want the saltiness from the salt

What's that about?

Salt alone is fine. Why add the soy sauce?

But I also want the richness of the soy sauce

The self-indulgence~

[ Greedy salt queen ]

But it tastes really good

That's good?

Its like its drenched in saltiness

[ The salt supremacy principle ]

The next household rule

A cabbage tree during Christmas

That sounds so sad. What's this about?

That one is mine

Akimoto, that sounds sad That one is mine

Akimoto, that sounds sad

Its not sad at all

What is it then?

For Christmas, when my family is having a party

everyone makes food for the party

We'll have like whole roasted chickens

and also steak

within all these extravagant items

its all part of a Christmas theme

So the cabbage in the shape of a Christmas tree is part of the dinner

We do it every year

I see. So this is one part of a lot of extravagant food items

And you eat it?

That's part of dinner right

I've drawn a picture to make it easy to understand That's part of dinner right

I've drawn a picture to make it easy to understand

Easy to understand?

Here's the plate

The bottom of the cabbage is cut Here's the plate

The bottom of the cabbage is cut

To stand it up. Just one gets cut like this?

The raw cabbage

gets covered with aluminum foil

and then as decoration

tomatoes and weiners will be stuck into it

So you can eat the main part of the cabbage like that?

That part goes into a hotpot the next day

[ Effective use of the cabbage ]

The raw cabbage is just so you can stick food into it

That's correct

I've got a picture, so please take a look

Its on the right

What?

[ Unexpected party feel ]

Much more extravagant than what I was picturing

Ah, that's fantastic

Actually I would say this is very nice

You're rich aren't you?

[ A lot different from an Inoue birthday ]

They got a whole roasted chicken over there

That's what your parties are like

The one closest to us

That's me and my brother is on the right

This is a great party

Looks like a good time This is a great party

Looks like a good time

So that's what it is. In my mind I was thinking

just a raw cabbage sitting there

and in front of those leaves I'd imagine people gathering around

in front of that one cabbage and saying

Hey everyone

Merry Christmas

[ Sad cabbage tree ] Merry Christmas

[ Sad cabbage tree ]

That's completely different

Even when I'd go back home after a long time

they'd say "Manatsu is back!" and bring out the cabbage

[ Celebration cabbage ]

So these are made for parties

From now on like at the end of the year

at New Years people eat japanese cuisine

But you guys, even though its Japanese food

you dressed it up as western food.

[ Japanese food spy ]

As for food

Kitano

seems like

you do something with dressing

In my family, the dressing

we have 2 types

we have mama's dressing and mom's dressing

Isn't that the same thing?

[ Meaning is the same ]

They are the same right

Does mama's dressing mean only mama is allowed to use it?

No, that's not it

And mom's means only mom can use it

[ Mom's private stash ]

Mama's dressing and mom's dressing are the names

Mama's dressing is sour

There's a little bit of sourness

to that dressing

Mom's dressing has garlic

ah, more of a kick to it Mom's dressing has garlic

ah, more of a kick to it

So how did these names come about?

Both are from your mom

Since both are made by my mom

its confusing which is which

When I left the house today its confusing which is which

When I left the house today

my brother always says he wants mom's dressing

But if I'm going to a filming session and don't want to be hated, I'll take mama's dressing

But your brother in terms of age

Even if he wants mama's dressing, he'll probably say Mom's!

[ Graduated from calling her mama ]

Its hard to say mama

Saying I want mama's

To make him say it

to make him say mama

I'll plot against him

even if I want mom's I'll plot against him

even if I want mom's

Say mama's

I'll make him say it

[ Friendly family ]

The next rule is

At mealtime everyone has a different menu

Who has this? Everyone has a different menu

hai

Terada's family again

[ Treasury of stories ]

This has to be trouble for your mother

It probably is hard on her

But lately

she's realized other families don't work like this

Mainly for breakfast

myself, my mom and my brother

we'd rather have western food

but my sister and father like japanese breakfasts

That's so selfish...just pick one and eat it

this all happened naturally

mom just made what each person wanted

That's too much mom just made what each person wanted

That's too much

The night before she'd get the french toast ready

[ elaborate breakfast ]

And our cream would also be handmade

so she's a good cook too

actually she's pretty bad...

No no no no

of course she has to be a good cook

She's making handmade cream the night before of course she has to be a good cook

She's making handmade cream the night before

you eat and says she's a lousy cook. That's awful!

But in my case

I'm fine with whatever she cooks but

its my dad

that says my moms cooking

hasn't made any progress in a long time

Your dad is throwing his weight around

I don't get it. And I even said chassu for him

[ Selfish "chassu" papa ]

So breakfast is all mixed up

For dinner, my sister is particular about her food

because of that our rice dishes For dinner, my sister is particular about her food

because of that our rice dishes

since sister has fobidden mushrooms

She won't tolerate any kind of mushroom then

No mushrooms

Well some people hate them No mushrooms

Well some people hate them

Is Himura-san forbidden over there?

My family loves you guys

Ah, that makes me happy

chassu

chassu! chassu

chassu!

[ At Terada's house, someone's getting tea ]

The next rule

At a travel destination, they must play Life the board game The next rule

At a travel destination, they must play Life the board game

Playing Life when you travel?

Who is this?

Ah, Akimoto

Each year my family will always in summer

go to Okinawa

and then for Golden Week

we'll go to Miyagi or other places

For those times what always happens

is that Life game will always get brought

the board game

So we'll travel and stay overnight at a ryokan

and then finally late at night around 11 or 12

My mom will say "Let's play" and bring out the game

and everyone is really sleepy My mom will say "Let's play" and bring out the game

and everyone is really sleepy

everyone's tired including my mom

and its a given that we have to play

we can't go to bed until we play

[ unspoken rule ] we can't go to bed until we play

[ unspoken rule ]

But everyone is dozing off trying to spin the roulette wheel

everyone's playing just trying to hold on

Everyone's playing the game thinking "this is hell"

we call it "the game of Life from hell"

[ Mandatory bad times ]

Why is this? Why can't someone speak up to stop it?

My mom looks so happy to play the game every time

Its your mom that wants to play

She must like playing it as a family

But it could be, she's really trying to teach you about life?

[ Way for mom to teach the kids about life? ]

People who want to teach you about life

would never ever use Life the board game to do it

[ The wrong textbook to life ] would never ever use Life the board game to do it

[ The wrong textbook to life ]

Each time mom accumulates a lot of debt and loses

[ The originator accumulates a debt from hell ]

She really enjoys playing the game

Next is an unusual custom

Shouting you're safe after getting out of the bath

What is this? Who's this?

That's mine

Ah, Eto

This one is Eto?

What is this? This one is Eto?

What is this?

Is your bath far away or something?

After getting out of the bath

you open the shutter door right

In that moment in a loud voice I'll yell "I'm out!"

And you haven't toweled off yet?

While still soaking wet

While soaked "I'm OUT!" While still soaking wet

While soaked "I'm OUT!"

When I shout "I'm out!" the family

responds with "HAI!"

Why? Why?

Is this a way of telling the next person to go ahead?

That's right. After getting out

if you towel off and then go to the living room to say "I'm out"

you can't save any time doing that

Now I get it

And if you go in but don't come out Now I get it

And if you go in but don't come out

this one time I did fall asleep in the bath

This really is to check on your safety?

But still

when they're waiting to confirm you're out with your yelling

you may have already fallen asleep

[ Already too late ]

And if they don't hear you say "I'm out" you've already been underwater for awhile

When my friends come over to stay the night, that part startles them

since its so loud

How loud is it? Could you do it?

I'm out!

Kind of like that

That's pretty good

Pretty good?

[ What kind of evaluation is this? ]

But I also did something like that when I was little

and recently when I was with family

I also was like

with my family right

When I got out of the bath and yelled "I'm out"

they all replied "You don't have to say you're out. We can tell"

and that gave me such a shock

I thought I won'd say it then after that

They told you they don't need the update

Indeed, that was their statement

But the parents house

its kind of spaced out

Our place has 2 floors

the bath is right in the middle and just to the left

so wherever you are the bath is right in the middle and just to the left

so wherever you are

so everyone in the house can hear you wherever they are

That's why you yell "I'm out"

And then the HAI replies come from all around the house

That's like

Everyone in your house is on the same page

its nice not to have it all scattered

When I get married I want to continue doing this

The screaming "I'm out" part right

You hope to continue this

But your husband will say this to you

I know, you don't need to yell that

If he does that...I'll have to rethink the marriage

[ Deciding factor for marriage ]

You want to yell it that much

That's pretty important for me

Important to you right

Anyone else have a similar kind of "I'm out"

I do the opposite of Misa, when I enter a bath

in the living room I'll say "Going to take a bath!"

and then go to the bath

"Going to take a bath!" is good too

And I'll also say "Going to the bathroom!" "Going to take a bath!" is good too

And I'll also say "Going to the bathroom!"

You inform your family?

I inform them

My family also says when they go to the bathroom

"Going to the bathroom"

You don't scream "I'm out"

[ bathroom updates ]

That would be messed up like

"I'm out of the bathroom!"

That just seems wrong

Telling the family when you're done with everything That just seems wrong

Telling the family when you're done with everything

Nobody wants to hear that "I'm out"

"We don't need to hear that!"

"Don't want to hear it!"

But some families do say "Going to the bathroom"

Only my dad does that

Dad yells "I'm back!"

we ignore him

[ papa ignored ]

When he goes to sleep

he'll say "Going to bed!" When he goes to sleep

he'll say "Going to bed!"

[ Updates on going to bed ]

Your dad

I feel kind of bad for him Your dad

I feel kind of bad for him

he sounds lonely like

"Hey, I'm going to bed!"

"I said I'm going to bed"

[ Dad seeking attention ]

Feel bad for him right?

When you're playing the role of dad, why do you always have a slide door in front of you?

[ Always heading towards a sliding door ]

"I'm back"

He probably goes to your room to tell you right?

specifically to tell you

He'll search around for Inoue just so he can tell her "I'm back"

I'm back!

Got that!?

But you'd yell that from the entraceway right?

"I'm back!"

He'll open the door to the living room

He'll come up to tell you

That's amazing

That's because nobody reacts to him

That's it That's because nobody reacts to him

That's it

When he goes to bed and says "I'm going to bed!"

I'll reply "Hurry up and sleep then"

[ Give the man some attention! ]

Next up is this rule

taking baths with my older sister

Who does this one?

hai

Yumi-chan

This one is

Instead of when I lived at my parents house

this happens more after moving to Tokyo

After moving to Tokyo, the times when I'd go back home

with my sister

When you lived with your parents you took separate baths

but you grew up and now you often take baths together

[ Grown up sisters mixed bathing ]

But not when you were kids [ Grown up sisters mixed bathing ]

But not when you were kids

Nope

I understand sharing a bath as kids

So why?

Somehow the bath is the best

place to talk

its become the best place

Because you can relax

My sister and I both

like to read in the bath

Both of us. You're in there a long time

Yes, since we take a long time

we'll combine

it cuts down on time

That's right, this makes it much faster

the both of us get in at once

Doing that allows you to take longer baths

The both of us

will read manga in there

With both of you in the tub

But it doesn't make you uncomfortable

since normally you're alone

Being an adult now and doing that doesn't make you uncomfortable?

Not at all

Our family is a little strange

the skinship is pretty fierce

Like the hugs when people come home

They charge into your room and hug you

[ That's a hug ]

That's how foreigners do it

It really like that, there's frequent hugging when we meet up

Yamashita

3rd class

You have unusual bathtime rules 3rd class

You have unusual bathtime rules

In my family

the bath area

Most people sit on chairs right?

Nobody sits on those. We all sit directly on the floor

and wash our whole bodies

Sitting directly on the floor

That's right

The floor is rocky

rock?

Is this like the floor at a ryokan?

Kind of like

its black, what do you call it

the floor is made of stones its black, what do you call it

the floor is made of stones

so with that

it feels good to sit on. Having your butt poked by the floor

[ Stimulating the butt ]

Is the floor like those foot massage mats then?

A denser version?

Kind of like that but in the floor

There's probably more stones in the floor but

the entire family sits on the floor

And there's a water bucket in there but

for several years nobody has used it

So nobody gets in the bath? You just all sit on the floor?

[ Religious training? ]

If you don't use the bucket then what? [ Religious training? ]

If you don't use the bucket then what?

Its all with your hands. If you want hot water its with the hands

Have long have you done this?

Its kind of like a family ritual

Beauty trick?

She said ritual

What kind of beauty trick would that be?

[ Splashing yourself with water to enhance beauty ]

ritual [ Splashing yourself with water to enhance beauty ]

ritual

The way you apply water

Yes. How you get the water

I thought sitting on the floor was normal Yes. How you get the water

I thought sitting on the floor was normal

Whenever my dad would come in

he'd slide the door open and he'd sit there naked

but it seems that's not normal he'd slide the door open and he'd sit there naked

but it seems that's not normal

Why does he slide the door open?

[ Back to the more pressing question ]

Because he wants to talk

He should just wait a little

But he wants to build communication in the bath

So he sits on the floor

He sits on the floor

such that I can only see his back

I'll think "Ah, he's sitting with us"

[ Laughs at him for doing the same thing ]

I'm also with the group of people that likes to peek

Why is there a group that peeks?

[ Peeking in on papa taking a bath? ]

When my father or brother are taking a bath

I'll make a loud noise to see what they do

You want to see their reaction

[ Bathtime challenge ]

But going that far

Many various household rules have been presented

in the "Is it only my family that does this?" Grand Prix Many various household rules have been presented

in the "Is it only my family that does this?" Grand Prix

Who will shine alone as champion?

Of course it has to go to Terada right?

Terada right

It has to be Terada right?

She gave us poto-poto-pottosu

because of that

So then we'll have Terada wrap up the show

hai onegaishimasu

While eating your poto-poto-pottosu

please watch next weeks Nogichuu

So then well...chassu

bye bye

[ chassu = tea ]
