Uhh, I don't usually post questions and such but I really want to know something..

What show where Arashi on where they made Ohno, Jun, and Aiba do a love-triangle skit? (Something like, Jun and Aiba was "going out" but turns out, Aiba has been cheating on Jun with Ohno. In the end, Aiba chose Sho lol.)

I've seen the clip once or twice but I can't find it anymore so I'm hoping someone can help.
Judging by Sho's hair, I'd say it's around the time they released Jidai (late 2001 maybe?)

I think the show was Shounen Club but I'm not too sure so I just need some clarification and the episode number and date would be nice too.

Oh, and for a little help, I still have a screencap of a scene:

(sorry, I don't think that was much help)


Oh, and I'm not looking for the subbed one, RAW is fine but subbed would be better :D
Thanks in advance!

UPDATE
The Last Promise, filming diary updated, 7^th day.Today also over 200 extra casts including volunteer participate, Thank you for your cooperation. Indeed the scene that large crowds try to evacuate was tremendous impact. This is acting but crowd in panic is scary, I realized. Everybody at the time of disaster please behave calmly. I scared if Sakurai-san and Nene-san would be crushed by crowd. I save Sakurai-san and Nene-san. It’s over safely. 8^th day, Today is Matsumoto-san and Kuroki-san on date. Fighting scene was cracking, the scene that they fight and aware each other was nicely filmed. When I see action by 2 it came to remembrance the word of adolescence. This makes twinge. However filming was late. We could be filmed good one so director, casts and staffed were a feeling of well-being. Today end time was 2am.

Pop band and dance group Exile have been given the job of creating the official anthem song for the country’s Samurai Blue soccer team.

The idea for the collaboration was born when Exile leader Hiro, 40, met national team coach Takeshi Okada, 53. Exile’s song will become the official song to support the Japan national team throughout the group stages of the South African World Cup and, hopefully, further.

Last week, The Japan Times picked Hikaru Utada as the most influential artist of the past decade. Japan Times interviewed various figures in Japan's music scene and asked them who they thought were the most influential artists of the noughties. They asked them to choose one Japanese artist and one non-Japanese artist, a task that proved to be difficult for some. Meanwhile, other musicians thought movements such as the Internet were the star of the decade rather than an actual performer. Here's what they said:

( Crystal Kay, VERBAL, Asian Kung-Fu Generation ..etc )

Scottish singer Susan Boyle, the breakout star of “Britain’s Got Talent,” will sing a song on ‘‘Kohaku Uta Gassen,’’ Japan’s annual TV music show on New Year’s Eve. Boyle, 48, shot to international fame in April after stunning judges and the audience on the British show, where her powerful singing voice contrasted sharply with her dowdy appearance.
  
She will sing as a guest on the music show, which was first aired in 1951, Japanese public broadcaster NHK said. The song she will perform has yet to be decided.

Apparently, Ayaka's (22) health condition has worsened but her faithful husband, Mizushima Hiro (25) has been supporting her by her side. In fact, he has taken a long leave in order to be by her side, which will commence from January 2010.

It was also reported that even Mizushima Hiro's mother, who had initially had her doubts about the young couple's decision to marry, has also come round to the idea of their marriage and is sincerely worried for Ayaka's health and has been helping out.
