Third Installment of w-inds.m proves to be the most entertaining thus far.

w-inds. "leader" Ryohei Chiba starts the discussion on R&B star Chris Brown with a dead-pan yet quirky introduction.






It was spotlight time for the usually quiet leader of w-inds. during the broadcast of this week's w-inds.m. Ryohei Chiba was met with the bullying of his two bandmates as he conducted the discussion of Chris Brown with excited nervousness. Being ridiculed about anything from wearing his glasses to read the cue cards to whatever little thing his bandmates decided to tease him about, Ryohei pulled the talk off with the awkward coolness of a teenage student presenting to the class while meeting with various technical difficulties, demanding pause for laughter.

"Chris Brown was dancing when he was two. When I was two, I was picking my nose." -Ryohei Chiba¹

Next week, Keita Tachibana tackles America.

w-inds.m

MTVJapan has launched a project featuring the Japanese boy-band w-inds. called "w-inds.m". The members (Keita Tachibana, Ryohei Chiba, and Ryuichi Ogata) will each take a turn on the short weekly show to discuss their favorite musical artists.

The first show aired on January 9th, 2008 (Japan Time) featuring Keita Tachibana's pick of Ne-Yo. This week's show aired on the 16th and was a discussion of The Strokes lead by Ryuichi Ogata. Next week's show will revolve around Ryohei Chiba's choice of R&B star Chris Brown.

The theme of the show will apparently change each month, possible topics being among "fashion", "dance", and "subculture".

"w-inds.m" provides insight into the likes of the three members and is surely to be enjoyed not only by Japanese fans, but by fans worldwide.

And even if your Japanese sucks just as much as mine, one can always find some sort of enjoyment in a guy pronouncing "The Strokes" as "dust locks".
