In episode 4 of _Tesagure! Bukatsumono Spin-off Purupurun Sharumu to Asobou_ ,
at around 14:16 into the episode, when they are talking about making a new
school song, Aoi interjects with an obscure reference "Comaneci!".

A quick search on the Internet point to [Nadia
Comăneci](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadia_Com%C4%83neci), who is the first
female gymnast to be awarded a perfect score of 10 in an Olympic gymnastic
event, among other achievements. However, I can't tell how it connects to the
context here.

Below is the translated dialogue leading to the reference above:

> **Yua** : Actually, starting this year, Tosei High School is going to have a
> new school song, and they're inviting people to submit lyrics, so I thought
> we would participate, too.
>
> **Koharu** : Write the lyrics for a school song?
>
> **Hina** : If the lyrics are used, they'll become a piece of school history.
>
> **Aoi** : Comaneci!
>
> **Yua** : All right! But before we actually think of lyrics, let's think
> about a "new school song."

Can anyone explain this reference and how it connects to the context of the
episode here?

question
tesagure-bukatsumono
What is Aoi referring to when she says "Comaneci"?


From [Nadia Comăneci](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadia_Com%C4%83neci)'s
article cited in the question, I suppose it is for the following reason:
Comăneci was the first athlete to get a perfect score (10.00) when she was 14,
a high school student. So, I suppose she's a piece of school history in her
country.

I can't think of anything else.

コマネチ is indeed Beat Takeshi's running gag from the 80s. It is in reference
Nadia Comaneci's high-leg cut leotard, hence the V-shape motion. While the
gymnast's pose is straight and beuatiful, Beat Takeshi does his motion with
his legs apart, adding to the comical effect. Most people today, especially
the younger crowd, might know the gag, but probably do not know the origin of
the gag or the gymnast herself. Also note that the gag is consider a bit
vulgar and therefore is not common for women to go.

If you know the nature of Tesasure! Bukatsu mono, you would know that it uses
a prerecorded voice track method, where the voices are first recorded, then
the anime was created to fit the voices. Most of the anime is ab lib, in other
words the lines of the characters are completely up to the voice actresses,
minus a few lines to get the ball rolling. Karin Ogino, the voice of Aoi,
tends to spit out whatever is on her mind without much thought. She also likes
vulgar jokes that are unbecoming of her job as an idol, and he has a tendency
to repeat running gags. I doubt much thought was put into this line as well,
other then perhaps because it is a bit vulgar.

Unfortunately I do not have that season's BD, so I can't check the commentary
so see if it brings any new information to the table (Though the other
season's commentaries weren't very "informative" either).
