AKB18 researchers, I'm Narita Kohina.
AKB19 researchers, I'm Itao Momoka.
Nice to meet you.
It's our first time having two AKB19 researchers.
How do you like it?
It's very fresh.
Is it always two AKB18 researchers?
Yes, it is.
It's our first time having two AKB19 researchers.
We'll do our best this time.
Could you lead us?
We'll do our best.
Thank you.
AKB48 researchers, wow!
This program is
for AKB48, 18th and 19th graders,
people of all ages,
to challenge various projects that are popular in variety shows!
It's a program to train your abilities for variety shows!
Today, we're in a residential area in Shin-Yokohama.
It's a residential area.
There are many houses around here.
What are we going to do today?
Today's theme is
Become a loved character.
It's "Become a loved character" and "Become a loved character."
Wow!
"Become a loved character"?
"Become a loved character".
Have you ever made one?
No.
No?
No.
We have cheesecake.
Really?
Can I order one?
I don't like making sweets.
You don't like it?
It's dark in here.
Oh, it's dark in here.
You'll experience "Become a loved character."
This time, we have prepared a secret trick for the members!
We're not going to cook normally!
This looks like a cooking class house.
Let's go in!
Let's go!
Here we go! Go Meimei!
It's really... It's really a ping pong!
They're telling you to come in, right?
Can we go in?
What do you say when you say "excuse me"?
Huh? I don't know!
Excuse me!
So we went inside, but what does this mean?
This video is a prank video.
A prank?
Our plan is...
In order to become an idol who is loved by everyone in the world,
we need to communicate a lot.
It's important to be loved by people all over the world.
Can you speak English?
I heard you can speak English.
Yes, I have an A.j. level.
But I was only in college, so I'm not confident when it comes to speaking.
I can speak Korean, but not English.
So I'd like you to teach me English.
I'd like to work with you.
It's a cooperation.
If we can learn a word by word, we might be able to communicate.
I'd like you to teach me a word.
What would you like me to do?
I'd like you to give me a word.
Don't say "wow" all the time.
This time, they'll try to make a cake in English.
In order to be loved by people all over the world, they'll train their English skills.
This is the teacher we're going to learn from.
Hello.
Welcome to my house.
We're going to bake a cake today.
I'm from the United States and we're going to practice baking a cake today.
We're going to practice baking a cake!
We're going to practice.
We're going to learn from Ms. Cathy, who has been teaching cooking in Japan for more than 15 years.
Ms. Cathy, thank you for joining us!
Thank you for having me!
I'd like you to introduce yourself.
Nice to meet you!
Now that she has introduced herself,
she's going to explain the rules!
Ms. Cathy is going to explain the rules in English,
and Ms. Cathy is going to make a cake.
The rules are simple.
When you make a cake, you must use English.
Please watch this video and follow it.
Yes!
Can you say one word for me?
It's my first time.
Wow!
Can you understand my English?
Yes!
"Upside-down cake" is a cake which is baked upside-down.
It is said that this name was given to this cake
because it is said to be made by putting fruits on the bottom of the mold and flipping it over.
Here are the ingredients. First of all, let's prepare the cake mold.
Please think of this meaning together.
What is your answer, Hanada-san?
First of all, I'm going to put butter on it.
But I'm not sure about the amount.
I'm going to put it all in for now.
I can hear that it's spread out evenly.
It might have been a little too much.
It's spread out evenly and plenty of it.
Next, what is your answer, Narita-san?
At first, I thought I heard something like "little".
I thought it might be a little.
I'm only going to put it on the edge.
Is it too little?
I heard someone say "Please put a little butter on it".
So, I put it only a little.
It's done.
What is your answer, Itou-san?
At first, I heard someone say "little" like you, Narita-san.
I thought it might be "little".
So, I'm going to put it only a little.
I see.
It's "little".
What is your answer, Itou-san?
I heard someone say "on the pan".
So, I thought it might be "pan".
I don't know what it is.
What is the general interpretation of "pan"?
Lightly spread butter on bread.
Lightly butter the pan.
This English word is "katan ni karku-bataa o nuru" (lightly spread butter on the pan)
Ms. Hanada might have said it too much.
Next is...
You need to put a little bit of flour in each pan.
Flour?
Yes.
"Flour" means "tana"?
"Komugi" means "flour"
I see.
"Ko" "flour" means "komugi ko" (wheat flour)
What is Ms. Hanada's answer?
I already forgot the word.
Is there any way to measure it?
We need to put a little bit of flour in each pan.
"Put a little bit of flour in each pan" is correct, but...
Ms. Hanada, who is trying to spread the flour with a spoon, is stopped by her teacher.
Should I show you something? Should I teach you something?
It's like sticking to the butter you applied earlier.
So, I'm going to apply flour to the mold as I did in the video.
Who is good at heavy equipment?
Who is it?
She is very good at doing it carefully.
She is the youngest.
Who is clumsy?
I am clumsy, too.
Are you?
Yes.
You are very careful.
Is it you, Meimei?
It's me.
I am clumsy.
I think you are clumsy, too.
Who is it?
The other day, I did "WAO" with Kawaii Ui-chan.
She looked very skillful and careful.
When I made "WAO" sweets, I was in trouble.
Were you in trouble?
I was clumsy.
Then, she may be Kawaii Ui-chan in "G-KEY".
But, she is clumsy in "KAERI", too.
She is clumsy.
The next step is...
We will make some decorations with the pineapples and the cherries.
So, each person can decide their own decoration.
I see.
What will you make?
I will make a design with pineapples and cherries.
I will do the same.
We can arrange and decorate as we like.
Ms. Hanada was a little doubtful.
But, all of them are correct!
We will decorate the upper part with pineapples and cherries.
I see.
Smile has...doesn't have many pineapples, but you decide.
[She's trying to be funny.]
She's trying to be funny.
You like to put a lot of pineapples in your drink, don't you, Cathy?
But I'm going to put a smile on my face.
I'm going to put a smile on my face.
I see.
I want you to like it.
I'm going to come up with an idea.
I like it.
So she has many pineapples.
It's going to taste very nice.
Oh, very nice!
I heard you like it, Cathy.
You have a nice decoration.
Thank you!
Very modern, very...kind of...
Yeah.
Very modern look.
Mother?!
Is it different?
Yes, it is.
I think we used different ingredients for this.
Everybody has the same recipe, but different design.
I agree.
Okay.
I'm going to make eyebrows.
Oh, that's nice!
What do you call "eyebrows" in English?
I don't know.
Eyebrows...
This...this...
Eyebrows?
Eyebrows!
Eyebrow pencil!
In Korean, we say "nunso."
Nunso?
In Korean, we say "nunso."
Nunso?
I learned it.
Today is...
How do you say it?
Global conference.
That's right.
I'm in charge of Japanese.
Can you teach me Japanese?
Please look forward to what kind of decoration it will be!
After this, will AKB48 be selected as top 10 in terms of popularity?!
Next step, we're going to bake the cake.
Next, we're going to make the cake dough.
All of the ingredients together.
So we have...
Flour...
Flowers?!
The spelling is different.
It's not "f".
It's "fl".
It's "our".
"ur"!
I don't know.
I'd be embarrassed if I got it wrong.
I'll put the baking powder into the flour.
OK.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
But your baking powder is here.
Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
There's a little bit of a problem.
Ah!
Oh!
So, the baking powder and flour should be mixed together.
Oh!
If we don't mix the baking powder, the dough won't rise.
So, we got it back this time!
Gently.
A little.
A little?
Yes, like that.
A little?
A little. Just a little more.
She can't stand the cuteness of the members and ends up using Japanese, Sensei!
Cassie-san, you speak Japanese very well.
Today is English.
Today is our English day.
We put pineapple juice in the dough and baked it in the oven!
Thanks to the explanation in Japanese, we were able to cook it according to the instructions.
One, two...
Be delicious!
I think it was a little cause of the glitter I put on.
OK?
Because of baking powder, her expression is cloudy.
But, she has a cute face.
A cake full of individuality is completed.
The outside is also fluffy, but the texture is also fluffy and it's insanely delicious.
Oh, it's delicious!
Well, thank you for the meal.
I mixed pineapple juice with it, didn't I?
So the taste of pineapple spreads out and it's the best.
Well, I'd like to have some, too.
Here we go.
I'll have a cherry.
First of all, the fragrance of the cake spreads and it's very fluffy and delicious.
It's good.
The cake you made is so delicious.
It's delicious because we made it.
The teacher will try it, too.
If you change your job.
Of course!
Is it okay? Really?
But you are an idol, right?
Yes, I am an idol.
Please come join me baking if you change your career from AKB48.
Please come join me.
If you quit AKB48 and change your job,
let's bake together!
Yes!
No!
Come!
She seems to be one step closer to the idols loved by people all over the world!
Thanks to Ms. Cassie's teaching, I was able to learn English and make delicious cakes.
It was a very happy time for me, so I would like to say thank you.
That's nice.
I live in Kanagawa!
Please call me Mei Mei! Thank you!
Did you introduce yourself?
Yes, I did!
I will probably introduce myself in many places in the future,
so I would like to spread my knowledge to many people there!
Thank you!
I enjoy cooking!
Yes, I'm really bad at making sweets.
It's a little weird, isn't it?
I'm interested in Japanese that I can't understand English.
I was really bad at making sweets, so I didn't make much,
but I was able to make sweets with the three of us like this,
and I was able to learn English like this, so I think it was a great day!
Thank you!
