“You guys know I like women right? Well, after the first men’s camp I thought boys were cute too and i’m bisexual now.” – Watanabe Junnosuke
Who fucking knows if he’s joking at this point. Anyway! Welcome to Gunma prefecture, baby! Instead of a torture island, because the usual venue was unavaliable, we’re in the sunny jungles of Gunma!
It was raining that day and Gunma doesn’t have jungles!
After the group shot was taken, everyone went into the hall and the staff members introduced themselves. The WACK BOYZ are managed by Shimizu, who also isn’t actually PAST EMPiRE from the previous auditions like we thought, she just looks super like her. Also Watanabe mentioned that Hanage can only cum once a day.
So without further ado, here are the performances! We’ll let you see for yourself how they did, but the WACK BOYZ who won the last camp really have been putting in that workkkkkk.
After this, Watanabe announced that the boys would be split into teams of 2… BL pairs! Thank you to gay porn comics for this moment.
He really did pair then like BL pairings too.
So our pairs were
A Yuuta and Washi
B Naruto and Gingin
C Yakosei and Kino
D Ni Kon and Yatto
E Ecchi and Anjukia
F Task and Kokoro
G New and Ayuno
H Hanage and Momo
And the teams made up of those pairs were AB, CD, EF and GH. Also the WACK BOYZ members; Rin, Ryousei and Shunji.
You might have noticed that we’re down two people! Ookami deleted his Twitter after 2 hours and Chanto Ikiru Chitti just didn’t show up. Sad!
But of course, this is a WACK audition. The twist was that the boys had to perform a skit to make him laugh and spit water out of his mouth. Those that did not make him laugh wouldn’t get to perform.
Also for once, dick jokes won’t be as favourable this time.
It was a constant barrage of skits, we managed to get a few. Some were good, some were bad. Most of them were bad. Watanabe ended up laughing at one of them mispronouncing “Gang Parade” by accident
(In Japanese, Gang Parade is ギャンパレ/Gyanpare and he said ガンパレ/Ganpare. This explanation doesn’t really help does it.)
The GP members found it funny too
There were also things like Ayuno and New chugging soda and burping while singing Orchestra. Watanabe laughed. Hanage and Momo tried doing the same thing. He did not laugh.
There was also um. This
(The gag is “T-back”, which is what Japanese people call a thong. I know in Australia a thong is a pair of sandals but Australians aren’t real people)
They tried doing it again and it ended up being so idiotic that it became funny.
To celebrate, they posted ass on Twitter.
Nainai from ASP approves! Young love!
Dialing it back a little before the juvenile antics, Watanabe conducted the interviews with all of the boys! Here’s the notes from our Serbian Star Đorđe no Jinsei.
Yatto the Endou
- Things were different to what he expected, he was first so he’s very nervous. Feeling stiff.
- He’s been following since WACKchin, and since he heard the news of a mens group being a possibility, he applied.
- He wants to move other people through music, and reach out to them.
- Watanabe said he’s not showing his best self currently.
- Regarding his partner (who he refers to as his girlfriend), he says he wants to cut the distance between themselves, to “do it more agressively” (innuendo implied)
- They were holding back during the skit (he was the one who came up with the butt skit but felt scared to go through it because he knew they might have been disqualified if there was actual h*le visible.)
Washi Ga Dockson
- His mind went blank from the start, he said he forgot a lot of things he practiced
- Seeing the members, past auditionees and new guys made him feel like he needs to push forward
- He watched the first audition and got inspired, he saw it as a chance to do the things he wants to do
- He liked singing, and he wants to be recognized as the voice of WACK one day
- Watanabe warned him about failing if he doesn’t loosen up a bit.
“You need to show your full potential”
“I am!”
“Really? (chuckles) Maybe it’s still not enough then.” - His partner is very nice and easy to talk to. Feels like they could do a good job
Ni Kon
- It’s embarrassing, he forgot the lyrics even though he practiced
- He wants to get over the embarassing and try his best
- Watanabe says he doesn’t know if he’s just being shy, or holding himself back but this probably isn’t the usual Ni Kon
- He and Yatto are getting along pretty well
- He learned about WACK through his older sister, he also likes dance so he wanted to pursue it a bit more so his sister suggested he applies
- Wants to spread the joy of dancing to other people, he’s been dancing since primary school
- Watanabe says it didn’t seem like he danced that well earlier, he said it was still embarrassing. “People who like dance but can’t do it properly in front of others are just lame”
Terashima Yuuta
- Audition so far: a strange feeling as he’s been a hikikomori/NEET and hasn’t interacted with people for a long time
- He’s not the type to go outside, not great at being a functional member of society
- At one point he even couldn’t talk to his family
- He’s very negative, and he’s always been running away, and after 5 years of hiding away the audition was what made him want to make the leap towards bettering himself. This is more or less his first time out in the world after all that time.
- He listened to BiS’ Curtain Call and though to himself, “i’ve never worked as hard as them in my life, and i don’t want to die like that.”
- Regarding his partner: this is the first time in a while he felt a person’s warmth, if it’s him then he’ll work hard for his sake.
Yakosei
- He and his partner seem like they’re being shy with each other, you need to break out of your shell, if your dancing isn’t cool, your singing won’t be end up sounding cool either. Johhny’s do comedy stuff too, but they’re still cool while doing it.
- Still stiff, feels like he’s not giving his all
- He likes music, he wants to become big in music, and he wants to stand on a big stage. He saw the last audition and became inspired to try it himself
- He wants to become a world famous person, like someone who goes to Disneyland and gets immediately recognized by everyone
- His idol is Justin Bieber
Ecchichichiichii
- He’s satisfied with how the skit went, he’s looking forward to the night’s performance
- He liked WACK for a long time, he would be the the happiest if he could spread happiness and courage to other people as a WACK member
- At first he wasn’t sure if he wanted to apply, but thought that this is the only chance he gets, so he applied after all
- He wants WACK BOYZ to become the pride of WACK
- Says his partner is a good, smart guy, helps him a lot
- And this wasn’t in the interview but he mentioned before that he really liked 2nd gen BiS, his favourite was Kika
Narutoworld
- He was very nervous from the start, but he thinks he was able to have fun during the first singing/dancing examination
- He’s getting along with Gingin, and with Team B as well. In such a short time, they were able to build each other’s trust
- He wanted to apply for the first audition, but he couldn’t due to a couple of circumstances. It was hard even watching the first audition because he couldn’t go, so when he heard that there will be a second time, he wanted to apply at all costs
- He wants to become someone who saves people through music
- He admires the power and emotions WACK conveys through its music and lyrics
- Watanabe is satisfied so far, but he wants him to work harder
Kino Museisiteebu
- He feels bad for not being able to think up anything other than dirty jokes for the skit
- Watanabe thinks they’re kinda shy around each other, if they don’t do the skit to the fullest, it’s just not interesting
- It seems like the two of them are not communicating smoothly
- Watanabe also said he’s a little better than before, but he needs to work harder
- He wants to see him change quicker, and to break out of his shell quicker
- “What do you think about Yakosei?” Kino is an empath, so as a result of realizing he’s the one who has to push his shy partner, because he has less experience, he’s also becoming more shy
Momono Suke Company
- His tummy hurts because the skits aren’t going that well
- Hanage is doing most of the work, so he feels kinda bad for just sanding there and doing nothing, he’s looking for a way to help Hanage as well
- Watanabe says he’s walking in circles. Because the two of them aren’t here for the first time, it seems like they’re maybe getting ahead of themselves?
- He couldn’t give up his dream of becoming an idol, and after the audition ended he was able to talk to his family, friends and it was like a weight lifted off his chest.
- He read a lot of messages from people who supported him, there were lots of people who said they wanted to see his smile, and he feels like if there are people who will feel better just by seeing his smile, then that would be his reason for wanting to become an idol
- Watanabe said he’s brighter than he was before
Gingin
- Last time he couldn’t do anything, and that continued for half a year. He came here pretty scared, but he’s having fun now, practicing for the performance with his team.
- He always wanted to become a part of the industry, but it never worked out well, and as he wanted to quit, he found this audition
- He wants to convey his feelings as they are, and he thinks that he would be able to do that if he joins WACK
- There’s nothing specific he wants to become in life, but he likes singing, he wants his songs to become meaningful for someone, that way he will have a reason to sing too
- Naruto is very sincere and is helping him a lot
Gingin implied that he was at the last audition before, but he’s too short to be Mazacon, is clearly not Zonsyo or Pe, not TOPPO who joined another group and not Nag either so… he might be Bingbing? Who showed up for the group photo and then left but we can’t tell because he had a mask on then and his profile shot for the announcement was edited to fuck
new
- The singing examination didn’t really feel “new” to him, he doesn’t feel like he improved a lot
- His feelings towards passing are stronger now though
- Watanabe says he got a bit better than before, to which new replies that he took up sports during these 6 months
- Him and his partner (Ayuno) know each other from before so he’s confident in taking first place this time
- Watanabe mentioned Hanage, said he’s a bit scary lol
- This time new doesn’t want to have any regrets, and he will work hard to pass
new’s name is written in lowercase because it’s a parody of now (previously NOW EMPiRE), we didn’t get lazy with syntax!
Tasukukusu
- Watanabe calls his skits and performances boring (valid ngl)
- He’s been hitting the gym so Watanabe remarked that he looks bigger than before
- He’s getting a bit anxious, and Watanabe agrees that he’s is the type to lose himself to his anxiety. He needs to calm down a bit.
- Atsuwo and him aren’t really a good pair for each other,
- “When you overdo something it ends up looking lame, but I don’t want to tell you to just let loose completely, so keep it moderate.” – Watanabe
Hanagemonster
- He made his own tshirt
- Even momo said it to him, he’s overdoing it, even his fans told him not to work too hard. Watanabe agreed he looks scary when he’s too focused.
- He’s actually a pretty funny guy, but overdoing it just makes him look scary. He needs to think more objectively about his perofrmance.
- “Even if you try to act like a newborn fawn, you end up looking like a wild boar” – Watanabe
- If he doesn’t overcome himself, he won’t be able to pass the audition
Ayuno K
- Feels like he did a bit better this time in the singing examinations
- He’s been doing a lot of stuff by himself for a change, like practicing and going to karaoke, and he also tried to be more aware of his surroundings
- He isn’t sure if new is holding himself back a bit, there’s not enough communication between them
- Last time he was doing it with a scary face (👁️_____👁️), he wants to be aware of his surroundings
Kokorozashi Atsuwo
- Skit feels like an unpenetrable wall for him
- Feels like he’s not opening his heart to Tasukukusu as much, Atsuwo can’t come up with any new ideas so the communication between them is a bit off
- Watanabe said eveything about him changed from before, he was a bit more stuck up before
- He was reflecting on the past audition and working on improving himself these six months
- He’s becoming a bit more sociable too
- Wants to show that he’s grown up and eventually debut
A Anjukia
- He’s thinking that he has to change this time, and he’s already trying to put himself into the mindset he had at the final day of the last audition
- Ecchi and him are getting along pretty well
- Last time he thinks it was not good, but he believes he has a lot of space for improvement, so he wants to show that he can change himself more drastically than anyone
- Watanabe agrees he’s changed a lot, but he needs to work harder
Shunji
- He’s not satisfied with his singing this time, he can’t say he’s not used to it because he practiced a lot, but he feels like he can’t reach the potential he envisioned for himself. He was also very nervous too
- Watanabe liked his show-off-ish personality though.
- Ryousei feels really powerful, and Rin has the power to make anything look good just because he’s doing it, but Shunji believes that unlike them he hasn’t really established what he’s envisioning. but as the training camp is a chance for them to better their skills, he’s trying to have a positive outlook on things
- Watanabe says that he’s currently the most lacking out of the three members
Ryousei
- He decided to be better than anyone. watanabe praised him for his singing. wants him to keep going steady, as an example to all the other guys.
- He’s been doing serious practice to be able to finish eating his meals this time. (Context: Ryousei used to do rowing as a hobby and tried to drop 50kg too fast, it fucked up his stomach so he has trouble eating now)
- Watanabe wants him to show all the work they’ve done as a group for these 6 months through their Orchestra performance.
Rin
- He’s a part of wack now, so he focused on doing the singing examination without shame, and without any mistakes. Watanabe remarked that he improved so much since the last time, he couldn’t sing at all, also it seems like his voice settled a bit, with less voice cracks (as in, he went through puberty lol).
- He says he’s a bit worried about Shunji – it’s like he’s having a lot of regrets about Ryousei, he’s really pulling through, it’s like he’s already on a real stage. Rin’s advice for Shunji would be to look up a bit more.
- Rin thinks that for his own performance, he was neglecting the dance a bit because he was thinking too much about not making a mistake with the lyrics, also he needs to work on his facial expressions and smiling.
- Watanabe then told him not to leave any food on the plate this evening.
Then after that, a few more skits. Most of them were Hanage flopping hard.
Team C+D and G+H did not perform today due to half of the members failing to make Watanabe laugh. Sad! These were today’s performances.
The rankings were
#1 WACK BOYZ and AB
#2 EF
After that, dinner time! The boys were struggling with the death sauce
Except Narutoworld, who inhaled it and then did this
After dinner was the point ranking.
1. Task
2. Yuuta
3. New
4. Kino, Hanage, Gingin
7. Anjukia
8. Washi, Ecchi, Momo
11. Atsuwo

13. Yatto
14. Ni Kon
15. Ayuno
16. Yakosei
WACK BOYZ cumulative points
1. Ryousei
2. Rin
3. Shunji
The boys were then given the option to either stay in their couples or break up, so after some reconfiguration the teams tomorrow are
AB Yuuta, Washi, Naruto, Gingin
C Yakosei, Kino
D Ni Kon, Ayuno
EF Hanage, Kokoro, Ecchi, Anjukia
GH Yatto, Momo, Task, new
WACK BOYZ …the WACK BOYZ members
They have to do skits again tomorrow. Watanabe said that they almost weren’t going to do it, but Shunji looked a little too relieved so now they’re doing them again. Nice going.
Tomorrow’s performance will be to special new demo song “WACK BOYZ”, produced by the same people that made Hyper Cracker by ASP.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H9e40zEzYk
Feel the rhythm yuhh
And then, that was it! Bed time
Our special bonus fact today is that Yakosei’s name is a parody of Tanosei, Katakana with a kanji in the middle. Tanosei means “POTENTIAL” which is why her name is written like that in English sometimes, so maybe we should call Yakosei “NOCTURNAL”
We aren’t doing that.
Our translators today were Rachel Raisehell and Đorđe no Jinsei. The writing guy was Kintama Callie, who is late for their part time job because they were writing about men doing things for too long.
See you next time!
going going WACK
