I uploaded the relevant part with the possibly incorrect subs:

Every time they meet at music station, they repeat the same joke with the karaoke. They are just playing. It is stupid to get angry for that. The english translation seems ok for me.

[MBF]

Didn't notice any relevant mistakes in the translation either... I still have absolutely NO idea, what all the fuzz is about...

Well, wasn't she a little rude? They are talking amongst themselves and laughing about something and she interrupts them, says whatever they were talking about wasn't funny and changes the topic.

Though obviously the main reason for fangirl hostility would be because she basically asked him out...

Good for her, I hate sitting around listening to others have a fucking boring conversation too...

She asked him out? I musta missed something here.

[Scribble R]

It looks entirely rehearsed. SR is too polite to do anything like that. The one time I recall SR being ghetto is in that No Music No Life video where she seems pissed off at Izawa/the band.

Anybody have an idea of which song(s) is/are Ringo's?

[a_grumble_cake]

putting $5 on I Wanna Be Your Man.

[Entry№1]

Maybe it's "La + LOVE&PEACE", which - SURPRISE! - ends up being the demo song "Love+Peace". I'm thinking it's 唐獅子牡丹 (Karashishibotan?).
