What is the significance of the lottery box in Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi! OVA? And why are some of the words crossed out?


In _Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi!_ , in the scene where the girls draw lots from the
lottery box, the lottery box is shown with some characters crossed out:

Searching for **めだちた** leads me to the dictionary entry for
[【目{め}立{だ}ちたがり屋{や}】](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/jn2/270074/m0u/), which
means "attention seeker". However, it feels a bit out of whack here.

What is the significance of this box? And why are the words crossed out?




I believe this is the same box that was used earlier in the series for drawing
lots. It's a running joke that Kyouko kept on pulling out the box, crossing
out what she originally wrote on it, and writing something new.

The first time, in Episode 1 of Series I, everyone put in things that Akari
could do to try and stand out more as a main character, which is probably what
"めだちた girl" refers to. The manga translation that I read translates the word
as "star wannabe girl". Yui thinks that it sounds pretty horrible when she
sees it, so it seems like that out of whack feeling was intentional; it was
supposed to be Kyouko--intentionally, since she's always messing with Akari,
or possibly unintentionally--using a term with the negative connotation that
Akari was trying to draw attention to herself.

Another time, which seems to have only happened in the manga, Kyouko filled
the box with conversational topics like "Club activities" and "I'm hungry" and
penalties like "Say 'Shazam!' at the end of your sentences" and "Talk
erotically". (Akari had to say "Shazam!", while Chinatsu had to talk
erotically.) There were other instances across the manga and anime where
Kyouko pulled out the box and wrote something new on it; being Kyouko, it
wouldn't be too surprising if everything she wrote was some kind of pun on the
original "めだちた girl".
