It's at about the 17 second mark of the 2nd opening:

What is written on his hand is "in the process of recruiting a girlfriend," literally. Maybe "looking for a girlfriend" would be a better translation.

The top line is "kanojo" in katakana:
カ (ka) - ノ (no) - ジョ (jo)

That means "girlfriend," though it would usually be written in a different alphabet (in kanji it's 彼女). Katakana is the alphabet for words borrowed from other languages, though it is sometimes used for "regular" words as a means of emphasis (equivalent to writing in all-caps or italics, in English).

The bottom line is boshuuchuu in kanji:
募 (bo) - 集 (shuu) - 中 (chuu)

募集 boshuu means "taking applications" or "recruiting." 中 chuu means "inside" or "center" (you'd use that character when saying "on a train" because the Japanese say "inside the train" literally); as a suffix of an action, it means "in the middle of" whatever the action is.

You can get almost that exact same saying (with "kanojo" in Kanji and prefaced with "Japanese" -- "looking for a Japanese girlfriend") from JBox, on hats and T-shirts:
