Interview 11: Bridge Rock (Spoilers for volumes 4-5, takes place sometime during/after volume 11)

"This is Megami Nakami with 2 Minute Interviews, where we ask celebrities your questions. With us today is Bridge Rock, the three talented young men who among other things are the hosts of Yappa Kimagure Rock. Several of your fans have written in wondering what it's like hosting your own show as opposed to being the guests being interviewed… Like right now."

"Well I think I speak for all of us when I say we were very nervous when we first started, but we've come to really enjoy it. I know our fans have come to enjoy watching our show. Although I think many of our viewers really tune in to watch Bo the chicken. After the first episode, we had someone else play Bo a couple of times, and we had several complaints about how boring Bo is as a regular assistant. Bo is just so good at playing both the comedian and the straight man. I, for one, really enjoy working with Bo," said the leader of Bridge Rock.

"Yeah. We all enjoy working with Bo, she really makes the show very entertaining. It's incredible really, Bo can do everything that's suggested for her to help do in a segment. Like the new segment where Bo makes a dish where our guest says they don't like it, tricks them into eating it and then they end up loving Bo's dish. She really is the one making the dish. She makes all of us some healthy snacks occasionally too. They're all so good," said one of the other members of Bridge Rock.

"I hope she makes us all chocolate for Valentine's Day. It'll probably be the best chocolate any of us have ever had," said the last member of Bridge Rock. Chief would really love that, he still asks her out after every couple of shows and she still says no every time.

"Wow. I hope I get a chance to taste her cooking too then. Please tune in next time to 2 Minute Interviews."

Story Notes:

I have in the past referred to Yappa Kimagure Rock as The Bridge Rock Show. But according to volume four of Skip Beat! the show is actually called Yappa Kimagure Rock.

According to my Japanese dictionary that means Again Whimsical Rock.

Somehow, this story became all about Bo… I didn't mean for it to.

I'd like to note that I'm pretty sure that in Japanese they wouldn't be able to tell they're saying 'she' and 'her' rather than 'he' and 'him' so Ren wouldn't get suspicious if he saw this interview.

They didn't give these guys names… Grrrr… Although the other two guys did call their leader 'Chief' so I could refer to him like that. I don't want to make up names for them because 1) I'm really bad at it and 2) what if Yoshiki Nakamura eventually does name them…

Authors Note:

This interview was also requested by Lita of Jupiter. Somehow she made a lot of requests. Hehe. As far as I know Bridge Rock is a group of talentos from LME. 'Talentos' is defined as people who go in front of the camera so they're actors, commentators, singers, etc. LME appears to have sections just for actors and singers, but I suppose anyone in the talentos section does dual work(?). It isn't really mentioned what else they do besides MC Yappa Kimagure Rock… I think it's implied that they were already popular when they started MCing the show, so I'm going to assume they're also a band. 'Cause I can't imagine actors signing up as groups…
