Is anyone amused by the Hataraki Man Ondo? I really want it. When is the single coming out?? (I still want the Yama Onna Kabe Onna Ost too though ) Anyway this week focuses on Tanaka as a Hatarakiman. I have a feeling based on next week’s preview is they’re gonna focus on each character as their own “hatarakiman” and probably conclude the drama with some kind of end story regarding Hiroko (and probably her relationship with Shinji.) Also this week features the girl who played Sailor Venus in that live action sailormoon series…as herself - a gravure idol! Did she become a yama-onna since her last debut?

So anyway Tanaka is unhappy that the magazine focuses on pretentious stuff like interviews with idols which are all fake and edited and on trashy rumor articles. He is really into fashion and he loves magazines like Hugo so he wants to publish and write about something that’s fashion related. Unfortunately here in America if you don’t like what your job is, you go to another one or you get fired. I don’t know how accurate this show is to reality but I’m amazed they let an asshole like that continue working without saying KUBI! Instead they actually TRY to help him improve his performance at the workplace (mainly by making Hiroko do his work for him.)

Tanaka gets a call saying a guy has some secret information on the sister and father of the gravure model. Unfortunately this is a money trap and even though Tanaka works hard and even goes into Hatarakiman mode, it turns out he was fooled. Everyone knows this and the photo he thinks that he exclusively got, someone else in the office had the exact same one. Hiroko even baps him on the head telling him that he should concentrate on the work in front of him and not leap on other things. The episode ends with them running off to another interview and the office people calling Tanaka by his new nickname “Risky”.

Anyway I’ve uploaded the Hatarakiman Ondo cause it’s just awesome.
