AISubs v3.5
NSC, Yoshimoto's entertainment school.
AKB, which is still not used to variety shows, enters the school for the first time.
They raised many main entertainers like "downtown" and "ninety nine".
Obviously, their secret is...
But!
What's wrong?
Tsuchiya, are you crying?
What's wrong?
A member is crying in a harsh class.
Did they break their own shell and become interesting?
I guess not.
This program is brought to you by these sponsors.
This time, fresh Team 8 members will enter the school for the first time.
They are still not used to laughing, and it's hard for them to come forward in variety shows.
Even among them, even if they can't show their emotions,
will they be able to break their shells with a bad lesson from NSC?
We are idols.
The era of saying "it's okay, we're just idols" and passing it on was gone 20 years ago.
In the entertainment world, you can't overcome it just by being cute.
And there's nothing cuter than being able to overcome it just by being cute.
If you look closely, Yokome-san has a kappa-like face.
That's scary!
And this time, the people who will guide them are...
The benefactor of Wooman, Okamura-san from within, and many other popular entertainers.
NSC's specialty teacher, Honda-sensei!
Muramoto-san, what kind of student were you?
Ever since I became a Wooman, I practiced a lot.
If I say it too much, it might sound like a salesman, but I was really good at English.
What's wrong with you?
It's okay!
The first hour of the entrance exam is a basic lesson about comedy.
The members will be mixed with actual students, but...
What is NSC's classroom like?
The teacher is waiting for you like this in a car.
Oh, I see.
There's no chair.
And there's a lot of air coming in from the NSC classroom.
It's cold.
It's funny to choose, but the students are serious about it.
Even in this strange atmosphere, the members are afraid to join in.
Please join us!
Everyone's not listening!
Everyone's so serious!
Min-chan!
Min-chan, you don't look good!
And when the teacher comes in...
Good morning!
Usually, you have to say hello first.
Good morning!
The reason why Yoshimoto is strict with etiquette, which is important for an entertainer, is...
Hey, be quiet!
Yes, sir!
The one who will be strictly instructed is the energy graduate who will be the class assistant.
So, hey, be quiet!
Yes, sir!
Wait, wait, wait!
Everyone, really...
Do your best.
Don't be nervous.
Yes, sir!
Do you understand?!
Yes, sir!
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared...
Can you do funny things like this?
Yes, sir!
Hey, say it out loud!
Yes, sir!
I'm scared...
Do it properly!
Yes, sir!
I'm begging you, really...
Answer me!
Yes, sir!
Well, let's start the class!
This is it, isn't it?
Actually, this is free and it's a group game.
Then...
Bye-bye!
Are you crying?
It's a group game that's been going on for 100 years!
If you don't pay attention, you won't know when it's coming.
If you cry over something like this, it won't continue.
In this class, the members will introduce themselves in order to win the hearts of the audience.
Shall we start from here?
Introductions?
First, while representing Osaka,
Awano, who usually has a modest personality,
Will she be able to make a strict teacher smile?
Yes, please.
Yes, my name is Serika.
The name "serika" comes from "other people call me serika".
Just kidding!
So cute!
She's cute, but what should we do?
Teacher, you should also bring a siren and play music tomorrow.
Who do you think she is?
Next up is Okabe, who represents Ibaraki and is a graduate student.
I'm Okabe Rin.
I'm often told that I have a good sense of rhythm, so I'll run with a ring on my wrist.
Okabe Rin, Maga Rin, Okabe Rin, Basuku Rin, Okabe Rin...
Her heart is really strong.
Mmm...
There's no such thing as a ring!
Okabe Rin, don't you remember?
She's cute!
Everyone has something in common!
She's cute...
At this rate, Hayasaka will be looking forward to it.
Next up is Team 8's energetic member, Oda Erina!
Will she be able to ride this flow with her strong heart?
Yes, I'm Oda Erina!
People call me "Oda Eri"!
Now, I have a question for you all!
If you were told, "tadaima!" (I'm home!)
What would you say back?
"tadaima!" (I'm home!)
From now on, don't say "welcome back" but say "odairi!" (welcome back!)
Yes!
You look like you're having a hard time.
The teacher gave Oda some advice about laughing.
If your reaction is slow,
you can say "okitemasuka?" (are you awake?)
"kikoetemasuka?" (can you hear me?)
"nihongo wakkaru?" (can you understand Japanese?)
If you say "kikoetemasuka?" (can you hear me?)
Then you can laugh again.
Even if you slip, there is a laughing technique that can be recovered with a word of a professional.
Okabe will show you the technique in action!
Is it cute?
I want to go home.
Asaka-san, how was it?
There were a lot of great ideas, so I thought it was amazing.
You thought it was amazing?
Yes.
You were a little intimidated.
Me too.
No, I didn't.
I'm sure you've learned something.
The second lesson is to learn how to laugh by acting.
They've been focusing on this for a long time.
We're going to do something called "emotion release".
Emotion release is when you say you're happy to pick up 10 yen.
It's hard!
It's helpful for you to lose your shame on stage if you try to be overly happy.
In addition...
In order to laugh, you have to betray your expectations.
So, you have to express your emotions at a higher level than normal people do.
Speaking of emotions...
I'm curious about whether Hayasaka will explode with emotions or not.
Emotion release is when you laugh out of embarrassment.
What will they try?
Oh, Hayasaka!
Can you do it, Hayasaka?
Let's do it!
Can you do it?
Can you do it, Hayasaka?
Can you do it?
You can do it!
The theme of "release emotions" is "I'm happy it's raining".
Of course, the play is completely ad-lib.
It's okay if an earthquake follows me and changes me.
Beginners Hayasaka will gradually release emotions in order of 10%, 50%, and 100%.
First of all, "emotions release" 10%.
Ready.
Oh, it's sunny.
Oh, it's 10%.
It's 10%.
Usual Hayasaka will release emotions in order of 10%.
Next is "emotions release" 50%.
Ready.
Oh, it's sunny. I can go out and play.
I'm really happy.
Can she break her shell?
Do your best.
I want you to show me a new Hayasaka. Do your best!
Ready.
Begin!
Oh, it's sunny. Yay!
Can you go out with me?
She's good.
She's used up her surroundings.
She's good.
Her surroundings are only 100%.
Oh, she's using her head like that.
Next is Aomori representative, Team 8's mood maker, Yui Yokoyama.
This time, she will release emotions when she steps on chewing gum while walking.
Moreover, she will challenge "emotions release" 100% all of a sudden.
It's true that this is a muscle that Team 8 doesn't have.
Let's do it. Ready. Begin!
Ah!
So close! So close! So close!
Your face came out a little bit.
I can't do it anymore.
If you were like "Ah! Why is it like this?" when you were angry, it would lead to laughter.
You're crying a lot. That's rare.
How was it?
Let me ask you. How was it?
I don't know what to do anymore.
I can't do it anymore.
I'm frustrated.
Is it because of embarrassment? Or is it because of herself who can't do it with all her strength?
However, there is a class that is even more difficult for them.
And that is...
There is something called "original people etude".
What is it?
I think you can say it just by the title.
"Original people etude".
In other words, it's like you don't use Japanese, but you're communicating with them.
So like "original people etude", everyone can only say "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh".
But "original people etude" can convey something to the other person.
Four members will challenge "original people etude".
If "original people" are at the live venue, of course, they will do everything with ad-lib.
Can the four of them create a story while acting and take it home?
Ready, start!
[The audience is laughing]
Go, go, Hayasaka! Hayasaka, you're not the audience!
Go to the back! Yes, yes, yes!
Hayasaka, your elbow isn't stretched out!
Hayasaka, if you do this at a handshake party, you'll get kicked out by the audience!
You can't do that!
Even here, they can't get rid of their embarrassment and Hayasaka's movement is obviously slow!
Can't they stand Hayasaka's speed?
Suddenly, Okabe rushes in!
Go, go, go!
However, they can't stand it anymore and force a stop!
What's wrong?
You look like you're in a bad mood!
What's wrong?
Tsuchiya, what's wrong?
I'm sorry.
She's angry!
Hayasaka, you looked like you were irritated. How was it?
Ah, Tsuchiya cried!
That's not it!
What's wrong?
I'm fine.
Eh, Tsuchiya, you're crying?
I'm not crying.
It's a story, right?
Yes, it's a story.
I know that, but...
I couldn't do anything.
Kodan, get used to it!
If you do it one more time, you'll get better at it.
Get used to it! Get used to it!
However, what I think is...
For example, in a movie...
If you really play the role of a primitive woman...
If you don't give up your shyness and do it, it will become one performance.
I think you need to push through it.
What do you think, Hayasa?
But I don't think there is such a movie.
I was thinking about it while saying it.
But somehow I imagined it.
And only Nakagawa is burned here.
The last lesson is practice edition.
They form a group with students of NSC and perform a story together.
The members challenge Motoku in a limited time.
But something unexpected happens here.
Anxiety that the story doesn't work out and tears...
The pressure of laughter rises.
Will Oda be able to break the shell and show off the story with all his might?
Oda and Okabe's Yakitori Contest!
This is the famous yakitori restaurant.
Oh, I see. It looks very delicious.
Oh, brother and sister, come here.
Like a yakitori shop.
Oh, then I'll have chicken skin, please.
Here you are.
Thank you.
- It looks delicious. - It looks delicious.
This yakitori is the best!
Yes!
Hot!
What?!
It's hot!
Is it burned?!
It's hot!
It's too hot!
What's wrong with you?!
It's too hot!
Okay!
Why don't you try to cook it, too?!
Can I, boss?!
I'll try it!
Show me how you cook it!
Yes!
Show me how you cook it!
Okay!
Yes!
Are you guys okay?
Are you okay?
Go! Go! Go!
Hot! Hot! Hot!
You guys are so mean!
It's burning!
It's hot! Hot! Hot!
It's still hot!
It's hot! Hot! Hot!
It's weird!
It's hot! Hot! Hot!
I'm not eating it!
Why?!
I'm going to help the poor people!
I'll drop it! I'll drop it!
Have a good trip!
I won't come back!
How was it?
Before we did it, you guys looked worried.
But now that we're doing it for real, you guys are doing your best.
I think you guys are cool as teammates.
Next, Kurano and Shimizu challenged...
Shimizu and Kurano's Coffee Contest!
Seniors! Good job!
Coffee after a good meeting is the best!
Your face...
I'm going to steal it!
Yes!
I think you guys did a good job with the presentation and everything.
It was wonderful!
Kurano's cute face...
Both of you have cute faces.
Kurano's cute face...
Kurano, you're funny!
That's it!
I learned that this is what it means to free up one's mind.
This is what it means to free up one's mind?
While shedding tears, Oda revealed the story.
And, Kurano and Shimizu performed brilliantly.
Little by little, Team 8 grew up.
Let me say one thing.
Hayasaka-san shed a lot of tears.
While everyone did their best,
he couldn't free up his mind.
At the end...
Let's do a one-shot gag!
Will Hayasaka be able to free up his mind?
Last year, in December,
16 members of AKB48 held their first solo concert on the 18th of this month.
And...
Thank you!
On the 19th of next month,
Mukaichi Mion held her first solo concert and won all 23 songs!
And, this year as well,
"AKB48 Group Request Hour Set List Best 100" 2017 was held!
And the winner of this year is...
The first original song of NGT48, "MAX X 315"!
Tonight's studio concert is...
Team 8 West's "Adrenaline" from their adolescence!
It's a special version sung by AKB's original members of East and West Congo!
But I can't sleep at all, oh oh
I have too much energy
I can't get tired of studying, sports and club activities, oh oh
I'm full of power
Even if it's love, if you know it, your heart will flutter
My heart doesn't beat around me
I'll just fly towards the moon
Adrenaline of adolescence, girls are always the strongest
Nothing is impossible, one, two, three, get down!
Adrenaline of running around, even the sky can fly now
What should I do now? One, two, three, get a chance!
Sing and dance, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Test your strength in the belly of a flower, you can't hurry, the deadline for victory is over.
It's a waste if you don't do something, go for justice.
I'm still moving forward.
♪ Just face the moon and shout out ♪
♪ Adrenaline of adolescence, girls are always the best ♪
♪ Nothing is impossible, one, two, three, and dance ♪

Today, Hayasaka couldn't break his shell all day.
So...
Let's do a one-shot gag.
Can he do it at last?
You can do it!
Let's go!
Wait a minute.
Okay, I'll do it.
"Knee Elephant"!
It's not funny at all.
What did you eat?
If it's not funny like that, do it again!
"Eye smile".
What?
Eye smile? Eye smile?
You're more optimistic than anyone.
Next week, we'll see how they are doing.
We'll collect a lot of information about AKB48.
Especially, we're waiting for your information about "Boya", "Muto", and "Mogi".
Next week, AKB48 will be together.
I'll listen to you whatever you say.
"Chest muscle" is repeated.
And "Precious" is repeated.
