Yeah, that's what it sounded like to me as well. The part about the yen is what's less clear - did a team ask this person for money? 100 yen is only slightly more than a dollar, so I can't imagine they'd be asking for only that if they ran out of money.
autowil:
Wow Japan is first leg?? the producer is really taking so much budget in it..
I think it will follow season 10 route.

I was using google translator to look through recent blog postings in Japanese and came across this:
http://aschwiiz.exblog.jp/10654362/ (original page)
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://aschwiiz.exblog.jp/10654362/&prev=http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch%3Fhl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26oe%3DUTF-8%26um%3D1%26ie%3DUTF-8%26q%3D%25E6%259D%25B1%25E4%25BA%25AC%25E3%2582%25BF%25E3%2583%25AF%25E3%2583%25BC%26scoring%3Dd%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN (translated version)
The translation is very rough, so it's hard to really say what the author is talking about, but it sounds like he/she went to Tokyo Tower last night (the blog posting is from about 9 hours ago). The post then says (in badly translated English):
--- Quote ---Inside, I was the TV coverage of California.
Travel programs to get the money? I like Shino Teru.
"What if I speak English, I ask, I have been traveling around Japan to collect money."
So. . . The coins were only 100 yen from 100 yen gave.
Out by staff.
Do you want to be out on TV? The paper called WATASA.
Signed.
California is not a distraction on TV.
--- End quote ---
Obviously, what stands out are the "TV coverage of California" part and the "travel programs to get the money" part (I have no clue what Shino Teru is/means). Is there anybody out there who speaks/reads Japanese who can translate this better than google can, and see if it may have to do with the race?
edited to get rid of stupid typos

This person went that day to the Tokyo Tower. Inside the Tower, this person found people filming. Then some people approached asking him if he spoke English and then asked him for money (they were probably begging). They said "We are collecting money to travel around Japan". Then he says someone asked him to sign a release form to appear on the show.
(I was giving a proper translation to the post)
