Seems legit to me. I found a 2017 Twitter post with this in it.

For years, this was my Internet white whale. I wrote about my search for this source here.

For years, mine was this gif I saw on UsVsTh3m in 2013. It had no context, and the only hint to its origin was the barely legible "29. 暑〜い!" overlay. I had a guess that this was from a Japanese TV talent show. I wanted to find the original video, but the trail went cold.

Years later, I don't know how, I heard of a series of Japanese TV specials called Kesou Taishou, known overseas as Masquerade. UsVsTh3m got bought by the Mirror and their post was taken down, but I still had the gif. My Google Translate research skills had improved, so I looked up Masquerade on Japanese Wikipedia and searched all the episode guides for 暑〜い!, and in the shows from 2007, I found it! It was entry 29 in the 78th special, and it won third place there.

I try not to post things that don't have a legal source, so I quietly updated my blog post and didn't mention it anywhere else. Until...

Three months ago, my partner started getting YouTube recommendations for this show. I checked, and the show's new official YouTube channel had just uploaded this performance a few days earlier. I made a better gif of it and posted it to !gifs@lemmy.world , and they liked it!

Oh, so that's why I couldn't find words to play.

Too easy. I expect lots of 2/6s today.

Oh yeah. Wrong tool for the job.

I had trouble finding words to play.

Come to a good city that hasn't fallen to the fascists. Here in Columbus, we're fairly insulated from the psychopaths who don't care who they hurt. That stuff doesn't fly here. We actually have some compassion for our neighbors here.

It was difficult to find a valid play containing an R. That should have been my hint that an R wasn't very helpful this time. I should've gone PLANT instead and saved a turn.

It's like three weeks ago, but I guessed right this time!
