Locodol - Episode 6



The girls represent Nagarekawa at the Civic Mascot Sports Day. Yukari and Nanako successfully wing their national spot, while Yui takes home the Spirit Award as Uogokoro-kun.

Heh.

All those funny, embarrassing obstacle course events you've ever seen from Japan were nothing compared to putting the contestants in big, soft mascot costumes first.

Nanyako goes National!

Aw. Yui makes it to the semifinals, and even beats the eventual winner in the sumo match, but she knocked herself out doing a front flip. She should have done her usual back-flips and she would have been okay.

Beating somebody because they have a bad hip? That will get you the reputation of having the terrifying power of bad luck.



But Yui doesn't want Japan to think Uogokoro-kun has that power!



What if people start thinking that Nagarekawa is famous for bad luck?!

Except for that one town known for it fundoshi and muscles, Saori makes sure the girls know that Uogokoro-kun's costume was only altered to take the microphones and amplifier equipment out of it. If they had really wanted to go the Tamahosshi route, Uogokoro-kun would look slightly different.



Uogokoro-kun Mk II, with arm and leg holes, and 2 minnows, for some reason. I like how the arms are still Yui's, though.

The screen wipes were all about Yui and Uogokoro-kun. Naturally.



And the eye catches featured Nagarekawa's cheer squad.



I AM DISAPPOINT. If Yukari is supposed to be the cheer squad captain, where was her cheerleader outfit? Saori put them in Otaku T-Shirts as if Uogokoro-kun was the idol the girls came to see, but I wanted to see some cheering.

The Nanyako stutter means they'll keep replaying the Nagarekawa Girls' promotional spot, and Yui's flip which knocked Tamahosshi's head off will also get replayed over and over. The result is abundant branding, so even though they didn't win, they get the city's name mentioned the same amount or even more than the winner. I'm not sure how many brides Tanhoku will get out of their victory with Tamahosshi, but having high school girls represent Nagarekawa makes the representatives want to visit there. All in all, a successful day for Nagarekawa.
