Here's a download for the full episode if anyone wants to see it (again, no sound): https://mega.nz/file/q9BFwQDY#HgPqb-TM7SfBHMe...
Thank you!!! She's amazing. Do you have perchance any other full length episodes of her on japanese TV? I also tried to go on TVer and similar sites but to no avail :/ I know a brand new tv episode with her should be coming up shortly (according to her IG page).
Just a head's up, I found out from looking up where this new clip came from (and getting a better version of it):
...that it's the preview trailer for an upcoming episode of a Japanese human-interest show called "Birthday" that will be airing this Saturday on 1/27/2024, and from what I can tell should be available for free linked from this page afterwards.
I'll see if I can get a download of it once it's up.
On a side note, the archive page for one of the other shows she was on previously that I linked to here has moved from paravi.jp to a service called unext.jp (the link for the episode will redirect you). They have a free preview period but I ran into similar issues as the old site with it not accepting my credit card details, possibly just because you have to enter a name in Katakana, which obviously isn't going to match my bank details.
Got the full episode of "Birthday", the TBS site linked to this page for it: https://tver.jp/episodes/epcn6itivb
Which worked through a VPN set to Japan, using the Video DownloadHelper browser extension to download.
There weren't really any more flexes it in, just a bunch of armwrestling matches (most of which I think can be found individually on Youtube) and some gym footage.
I put a few clips from the latter on up the site:
The biceps flex from the preview video was just a still image in the actual episode. I did make a cleaned-up version of that still (removing the text using a couple other frames), but I won't be putting it on the main site since it's mostly redundant to the clip:
Here's the full episode download for anyone who wants to see it:
bless the japanese for shows liek this (maybe the koreans too?)
their programming is so off the wall and different from American programming. i feel like Europ also has similar things but she is getting significant attention because she's different
There's still a lot of great gif potential in this video. The bicep bounce as she stands on the podium is so hot.
You mean this one?
It's unfortunately pretty blurry, so I forgot to mention that. I'm assuming it's a zoomed-in version of a wider shot, so there might not actually be any higher-quality source video. Probably worth seeing if I can find a video of that medal ceremony to check, though.
She's gotta be on gear her arms and hands look insane.
Jesus you fucking guys. NOT EVERYONE IS ON GEAR.
If you heard her voice and got a closer look you'd realize there is no evidence of steroid or hormone use there. How was she beating adults at armwrestling when she was 11 years old? Was she on gear then too?
One of the worst things about this site is the fucking obsession with drugs and who's on them and which ones and how much and how nobody can ever possibly be natural if they have even the slightest hint of muscularity or strength. It's exhausting.
So, I went back to look up the contest that podium flex was from. After some googling, she won last year's World Armwrestling Federation (WAF) Championships in the "Senior Women 55 Kg Left" and "Right" categories (as in arms). Senior is just the open adult class where anyone 24-39 years old would compete (I think she was 24 or 25 last year). She apparently had to compete on behalf of "WAF Neutral" instead of Japan because the Japanese armwrestling association she's in isn't WAF-affiliated.
Anyway, turns out the WAF has a very respectable livestream archive on their Youtube channel (better than a lot of bodybuilding federations I've seen, for instance).
Here's what seem to be the relevant streams of her from that contest, timestamped to her first appearances (I don't really know how "tables" work, but I think she would only appear on one per category)
2023 WAF WORLD ARMWRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP SENIORS LEFT ARM TABLE 7
2023 WAF WORLD ARMWRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP SENIORS LEFT ARM FINALS
2023 WAF WORLD ARMWRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP SENIORS RIGHT ARM TABLE 8
2023 WAF WORLD ARMWRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP SENIORS RIGHT ARM FINALS
Here's a clip of that podium flex from around 02:56:52 in the LEFT ARM FINALS, and as I thought the TV show was doing the best they could with the stream footage (pity the camera didn't stay on a closeup):
I'm going to see what I can do later about getting a crop/zoom of it to look good enough to put on the main site, especially since there's an additional angle of the flexing.
I don't have much interest in armwrestling footage myself unless the women's biceps are really bulging out, but I figured I'd save the full streams since they aren't the easiest thing to get, for those that do.
Here's a folder with downloads of the full unedited streams, as well as clips I made of her matches (sadly she didn't flex during the right arm medal ceremony, but I included it anyway for completeness). I also moved the full TV episodes I linked earlier in the thread there: https://mega.nz/folder/KthVRT7C#mRqboknQ0eXmb... (EDIT: Full streams removed now to clear space, her individual matches are still there)
I will say Ayane seemed to get especially pissed and aggressive at her opponent in the "LEFT ARM TABLE 7 (clip1)" match (I think for some kind of positioning issue?), and it was honestly kind of hot.
I both want and would be scared to have her look at me like this:
There's other women with notable physiques in some of the other matches in the full streams, like Andreea Brinza and Esra Kiraz (who I just renamed on the site after finding out that "Çelik Bilek" is just a nickname meaning "The Steel Wrist"), although I didn't go through them in detail.
If anyone wants to make some clips from these videos for the main site feel free, just try to limit it to a couple of really good ones since there's already a fair amount of Ayane Takenaka armwrestling videos up, and armwrestling by itself doesn't really meet the standards without noticeable visible muscles.
Again, big shout out to chipper here for going way above and beyond to secure some incredible footage of Ayane!
Is there a reason why Ayane didn't get to hold a Japanese flag at the podium? It also says 'WAF Neutral" under her name instead of the name of her country.
Lol, I explained that in the first paragraph two posts before.
Personally, I am not really interested in armwrestling footage until the women's biceps are noticeably swollen. However, I have decided to save the complete streams of these videos, as they are not readily available, for those who are interested.
I'd imagine anyone who was interested already got them, but I noticed that the full armwrestling streams from my previous post are taking up a fair amount of space on my mega account (the link in the paragraph that starts "Here's a folder with downloads of the full unedited streams"), so I'm going to be clearing those off in a few days, just a head's up if anyone else wanted to download them.

You wouldn't happen to have Ayane's old twitchtv streams? She used to flex alot there. She used to have the username toproll0629

You sure that was Twitch and not Twitcast? Twitch has never been that popular in Japan especially years ago, to my understanding. (This seems to be a screenshot of one of her old Twitcast streams, but I don't have any)
