[07/13] OCHA NORMA Major Debut Single "Koi no Crouching Start / Omatsuri Debut da ze!"

[Amped↑↓]

OCHA NORMA has got the wrestling connection.

A Japanese wrestler played "Omatsuri Debut da ze!" as his entrance music to commemorate OCHA NORMA's Major Debut

The fanatical Melon Kinenbi fan / wrestler dedicated his title defense to Hello Pro, "I'll do my best not to lose to OCHA NORMA!"

Shuuoh Fujiwara (a wrestler in Total Triumph Team Pro-Wrestling), who entered with OCHA NORMA's "Omatsuri Debut da ze!", which marked their major debut on July 13th, was outnumbered 1 vs. 3 by Gar B & Gar C, who were spinning out of control due to their screw-ups, but fought back with overwhelming individual power.

"We want to make our power known to all Hello Pro fans around the world, and with OCHA NORMA's debut, we will do our best not to lose," he said in a speech about his sincere love for Hello Pro.

OCHA NORMA Konto Yattemita! (tried doing a skit!) #03 "A Wish"

Roko won't ever give up. If she makes it in the basket, her wish will come true. Her wish is for everyone's happiness. Roko even challenged herself to make it in 10 tries. She even had a weight on her wrist.



Cast : Tsutsui Roko

She invented terms like Roko-Gacha and Roko-Coin. She let her hair down.

Kind of a copout at the end but if it's going to lead to some "Art" I'll allow it

Wow. They edged past Megane no Otoko no Ko for the best non-MM opening numbers of the modern era. Angerme, Tsubaki, and JJ, have never once hit 100k during their entire career. Let's hope this is the start of something big for Ocha. (EDIT: There's something obviously incorrect about this post which I will leave as a monument to my colossal stupidity.)

OCHA NORMA Konto Yattemita! (tried doing a skit!) #04 "Wooden carved bears like this one are good."



Cast : Ishiguri Kanami

Ishiguri tries a popular comedy sketch technique using flip cards #フリップネタ (Flip Neta) to talk about her love for wooden carved bear statues and shares her ideas of what she would like to see next. She likes a cute carved bear that has bread in it's mouth, like it's straight out of a shoujo manga. Next one, she calls it the "Frisbee bear". Then a "Bear with a rose", then one where a bear removes it's gloves, a sword in it's mouth, and lots of endless ideas. The last one is an orange penlight it's mouth to cheer her on.
