'Angels' Japanese Quizshow Sighting!

Heh. I knew it would come eventually. Our favorite team made it onto a Japanese Quiz Show thanks to Matsui-san.

No, not one of the fabled "Japanese Game Shows" but... a quiz show, "Nep League".

This particular game is fairly simple. It's called "5 league". There's a question that has a '5 letter' answer. 5 people have to answer each letter in order, correctly. If you can get 5 questions in a row right, they pocket a nice 500k yen!

Here's the first question of the series:

Starting this season, the major league team that Hideki Matsui plays for is...
Los Angeles [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]

Result: [red is good by the way]

Oh... so close...
エンゼルズＸ
エンゼルスＯ

Consider it the equivalent of saying "Angelz" instead of "Angels". Look at the blurry faces of shock on the first 4 guys' faces... hah.
Though, it's kind of ridiculous that he missed it, seeing that 4 / 5 letters are in the "Los Angeles" part of the question... oh well.

Keep this in mind for the future eh. Fun fun randomness.

That if the team name were switched (as it has been)

That eventually the “of Anaheim” would be dropped where no contractually mandated.

If no.5 is wrong,

then, apparently the Japanese word for “Angels” is different from the Japanese word for the Spanish word for “Angels.” No. 5 does not get his name entered into the Banzuke.

Captain, there are doubt's...
