AISubs v3.5
Alright, it's started! Nagiego!
Alright, it's February.
February means...
Valentine's Day!
Yes, Valentine's Day!
Why do girls give each other chocolates?
Friendship chocolates?
Friendship chocolates...
Don't you give them to your partners?
I don't give them to my partners!
Don't you get them?
Don't you get them from your partners?
It's different, isn't it?
It seems that Japanese customs have changed.
Is that so?
It's different in America and overseas, isn't it?
Yes, boys give it to girls.
So...
When I was in an American school,
a boy suddenly came into the class during class
and took a bouquet of roses and gave it to a girl.
That's not good!
Think about your teacher's position!
She's pitiful!
She'll scold me later.
That's right!
So...
Today's guest is...
Kanashen Nakada!
Yay! Kanashen!
Kanashen, have you seen Nagiego before?
Ah, but...
Have you seen it before?
Well...
Honestly?
Honestly...
No.
What did you think when you saw it for the first time?
I'm sorry, but...
You wanted to do it, didn't you?
Yes, I really wanted to do it.
So I'm happy that I'm so excited.
Because she is...
the representative of Nogizaka...
The king of brains.
She's the king of brains.
Really?
Don't say it!
Hello, everyone!
Today, the members of Nogizaka46
will be learning everyday English!
Please look forward to it!
Okay, please sit down.
Hi everyone!
Hello!
Hi, how are you?
I'm... I'm great!
Okay, you're great!
So, have you all been practicing today as well?
Yes!
In this show, they learn English songs by ear every time!
This song is Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero".
This song is the introduction of the movie "Footloose", and it is covered as the theme song of a Japanese TV series.
Have you ever seen that movie? "School Boys"?
"School Boys"?
No, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no!
We're talking about 20 years ago!
We've been watching it for a while!
Yes, we have!
Hearing this song, we know it's "School Boys"!
It's not "Star Wars"?
No, it's "School Boys"!
Today, we're going to learn a song called "Holding Out for a Hero".
What does "hero" mean?
Justice!
Justice's ally!
Oh, "justice's ally"!
"Hero" means "heroine", right?
And what about "woman"?
"Hoomer"!
No, "hoomer"...
No, no, "hoomer" isn't "heroine"!
"Hero" is "woman", and "woman" is...
What was it again?
"Heroine"!
Oh, right!
Yes, "heroine" is "woman", right?
"Heroine"!
Yes, "heroine"!
Mariah Carey sang "hero" too, and it's a phrase that comes up in many songs.
Whether you're a man or a woman, you can say you're a "hero" for someone you admire.
Okay, my question is...
Who is your "hero"?
Okay?
Okay!
Miss Kitano, who is your "hero"?
My "hero" is...
Mr. Takusuzuki!
What?!
It's me!
What's up with you all of a sudden? You're a good girl!
You're a good girl!
Why?!
At the last year's Christmas special recording,
Mr. Takusuzuki, you were my help...
...hero.
I remember a little, but Futaro-san, you weren't crying, were you?
That's right!
You were, weren't you?!
She made me cry.
Who made you cry?
It looked like there was something going on between you two.
Yeah, it was just me and Maaya.
The person who helped you at the time...
I was the one who was left behind, but I ended up crying...
...so Mr. Takusuzuki was like, "Hey, I'm the one who's left behind, aren't I?"
That was kind of cool!
It was cool!
But in the first place, why did you end up crying like that?
You two were about to lose, weren't you?
Yeah, I just wanted to make people laugh.
That's cool!
Okay, everyone, how was it? Was today's song difficult?
It was difficult!
It was fast!
Yes, fast songs are difficult.
Okay, I'd like you all to sing it for me now.
The first one coming up is "Miss Nakada".
What?!
I didn't know!
First up is "Miss Nakada". Here we go!
I found a lovely hero to me in the night
He's got me strong, he's got me fat, he's got me fast and fine
"Fat"?
Like, strong and fat and...
Fat?!
Oh, fat and...
It's like you're talking about Rikishi!
And "fast", "fast" and "fine"
Like, if you're number one, you're strong.
It's hard for me to hear that.
But it was perfect.
About 70 points.
There were quite a few.
The guests in this show are amazing.
There is such a song.
"Aho ni nagurare", "hiro ga end roll ni nai", "hikarabita hi", "hikarabita hito"
"motto party", "yes party"
Can you show us what you wrote?
This is what I wrote.
"Aho ni nagurare", "end roll ni nai", "hikarabita hi ni", "hikarabita ja nai",
"galari party", "motto party"
What is "galari party"?
But, strangely enough, it is quite correct.
Is it correct?
Rather than using Japanese katakana and pronouncing it in English,
it is better to write it as you hear it.
But, as expected, it is not as good as Mr. Nagata at first.
This is 50 points.
But it was great.
Next up is Ms. Kitano. Here we go!
"Galaby settory", "galaby fresh", "bomba party"...
"bomba party"...
"bomba party"?
"bomba party", she said.
I did hear "stupid people beating me up" like that.
You heard it, didn't you?
Is it an effect of the topic? I heard stupid people beating me up.
You're singing better now.
Right?
Your voice...
My voice came out.
Of course it did.
Your voice came out.
It was pretty good.
65 points.
You did it!
You're catching up.
"hikara bitani", "hikara fuharsto", "hikara bitani", "fight"...
I can't hear it.
You can only hear it from Wata-chan.
But it was good.
60 points.
60 points!
I'm happy!
I'm a hero!
I think you did pretty well.
But it got a little messy in the middle.
I don't know about the middle.
Overall...
50 points.
Let's take a look at the lyrics.
What do you think of the meaning of the lyrics?
I'm a hero, but I'm a stupid hero.
I'm a little stupid.
That's Japanese.
But that's how I heard it.
She's getting stronger and stronger.
She can't break up with her teacher.
The song is up to interpretation.
Let's take a look.
Do I need a hero?
"Need" means "necessary".
This is the point.
"Stupidly beaten up".
You heard "stupidly beaten up", didn't you?
But I'll keep waiting for a hero.
"Hold out for" means "keep waiting".
He said "he's gotta be strong".
What's the next lyric?
She's not fat.
She's fast.
She can move fast.
She's nimble.
What's more,
"fresh".
She just came out.
"fresh".
He just came out of the battle.
He's gotta be a man with sweat and blood.
What's this song about?
Recently, there are only men in jewelry.
Why aren't there macho men with strong blood?
I'm looking for such a hero.
Everyone hates jewelry.
Is it "no"?
As you can see from the lyrics of "holding out for a hero",
Ms. Maya's ears were quite high level this time.
Today's point is "hold".
What does "hold" mean?
I'm holding a pen in my hand.
"Holding" and "keeping" are "hold".
Could you hold this for me?
For example...
Could you please hold this?
Could you hold this for me?
When you hand something over to someone,
you say "could you hold this?"
Let's practice!
Let's practice handing something over to someone with "hold".
Please explain why you want to hand something over to someone.
My name is Ms. Kitano and this is your exercise.
Could you hold me...this?
"Why?" "What's in it?"
My...
Grand...
Mother...
You can't have it! You can't have it! You can't have it!
You're so mean!
That's not it! That's not it!
My grandmother gave me a present in Hokkaido.
What's Hokkaido? What's Hokkaido?
The fish!
She said it so easily!
Don't give up, Ms. Kitano! "Could you hold this box? It's a package from my grandmother!"
Next up is Ms. Nojo and this is your exercise!
Please, could you hold my baby?
Why?
And... I... I'm gonna... go... travel?
Take her! Take the baby with you!
For... for how long?
For how long? How long? Like one day? Or... one hour?
Three... three days!
Take her!
I have to hold... I have to hold the baby for three days?!
Please!
It's not "please"!
It's "take me!"
Take me!
"Travel" reminds you of traveling for a long period of time, doesn't it?
Yes, it does.
It reminds you of traveling for a long period of time, doesn't it?
For example, "I just have to go to the restroom," or "I have to check my baggage," or "I have to check my baggage,"
for those reasons, it might be better for you to hold the baby.
No, I can't hold it for three days!
Oh, Ms. Nojo, that was close!
She said "could you hold my baby?" properly at first.
In this way, "could you hold ____?" should be used only for a short period of time, when you want her to hold you and when you want her to take you.
Let's learn one more expression using "hold".
"Hold me tight". Do you know what it means?
How about you, Mesquita?
Why are you acting like an onion all of a sudden?
What's wrong?
Um... tight.
Tight pants.
Keeping tight.
Ah, slim. Slim, right?
What did you think, Kago-san?
"Hold me"...
"Hold me"? What is it?
It's not "hold me", is it?
"Hold me"?
Um...
Nagata-san, don't you know?
"Hold me tight"?
Oh, you're asking the guest again.
"Hold" means "to hold", right?
"Tight" means "tightly", so it means "hold me tight".
Now, it's practice time.
Sometimes you want someone to hold you when you're having a tough time, right?
Let's announce the recent tough situation in English and have Ms. Hirata say "hold me tight" and comfort you.
First up is Ms. Nojo. Here we go!
Breakfast, eat fish.
Fish bone.
Throat.
Stick.
Autistic.
It's stuck to your throat.
That sounds terrible, Ms. Nojo!
The words and gestures have conveyed the pain.
To put it correctly...
Okay.
Small...
Straight?
Yes, yes.
Shake hands.
They were in the way?
That's what I thought.
Sorry, sorry!
Ouch! Ouch!
Sorry, sorry!
Oh my god!
Hold me... tight...
You almost kicked her!
When I held her hand and said "sorry", I thought she would talk to me.
But she just hugged me.
She hugged me and hugged me.
What a couple!
But you couldn't go from the side, right?
It was a narrow road.
It was a narrow road for you two.
Well, if the road is narrow, you say "narrow".
Narrow.
Today's keyword is "hold".
It would be nice if you could master the expression "hold me tight",
which is often used in everyday life,
as well as in lyrics and so on.
A game that was a big hit during the Christmas special.
I would like you to try it with me.
Today's game is...
Let's learn how to play carters in English.
Carters are a well-known game in Japan.
Today we would like to play it in English.
Among the cards lined up randomly,
we will pick a card that corresponds to the hint in English and win the game.
There are some questions that you have to listen to the hint until the end, so be careful.
Let's start the first half.
``Mes Nakada'', ``Mes Kawago'', ``Mes Maia'' are the players.
"Mes Pilater" will read you the hint.
Mes Pilater
Hey, Nakada-san is starting to notice it, but you can't do it right now, right?
Go for it! Go for it!
Maya, it's wrong! It's wrong!
No, no, no! Take the one you thought of! Take it!
No, it was completely wrong!
No, no, no!
What's wrong with you?
I don't know if it's correct or not!
What?
Not yet, not yet!
Ah, ah, ah! OK!
Yes, yes, that's it!
Ah, it's completely wrong!
No, no, no!
Take it! Take it!
Hey, Wada-san, show us!
Why? Octopus!
Why?
Because I heard "long", so "long" and "long legs"
But, but listen carefully!
I have long ears!
Ears!
Ear... ear...
Oh, ears!
Ears! Ears are good, right?
It's just that you're stupid!
Please understand!
That's terrible for my students!
Ah, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Nakada-san?
She said "long ears" and "flying"
Oh, she understood?
Yes!
She's excellent!
Our guest is excellent!
I live in the water, I have eight legs, I can shoot black ink and I have a round head.
I live in the water, I live in the water, I have eight legs,
I have eight legs, I can shoot black ink and I have a round head.
I live in the water, I have eight legs, I can shoot black ink and I have a round head.
I live in the water, I have 10 legs, I can shoot black ink and I have a triangle head.
Oh!
Okay, everyone, please take it.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
I live in the water, I have 10 legs, I can shoot black ink and I have a triangle head.
Huh? No, no, no.
No, no, no.
You love it.
No, no, no.
Jellyfish, right?
Why did you choose it?
Ten...
Ten legs.
Oh, I see.
Actually, she said "octopus" one more time.
I thought of it and I chose "jellyfish" for now.
I see.
But, live in the water.
In the sea.
That's it.
You like jellyfish.
And...
You were quick, weren't you?
You were quick.
I could only hear "black ink" and I thought "it's an octopus",
and I thought "this is the only one I have".
Ms. Maaya got a squid.
That's a great answer, but how do you say it?
Speed?
Speed...
Wow, really.
The answer is "square".
Square.
That's it.
Congratulations!
Here comes the second half.
Ms. Hirata, Ms. Nojo, Ms. Kitano are the players.
Ms. Raka will give you a hint.
I'm red and eyehouses are all over me.
Anyone else?
Okay, show us.
Okay, farmer.
I heard you say "red", so I thought it was "eyehouses".
I see.
Speaking of "red"...
Hirata-san, you don't show mercy at all.
That was quick.
At first, I wanted to do my best.
Why is that?
Red and seeds.
There are a lot of seeds.
It's easy to say.
You said "seeds", right?
Seeds.
So, the answer is...
But these aren't seeds.
She said it!
That's good!
These are flesh.
Flesh!
I heard about it in the news this morning.
Really?
She's studying something else.
Let's make it "mushroom math".
So, the answer is...
After all...
Strawberry!
These aren't seeds.
I didn't know that.
I learned something.
The reader changed her answer.
Next is Ms. Maya.
Here we go!
Hang in there!
I might be doing it on my own.
We're doing it on our own.
This is really...
I'm green and I'm very...
...crunchy.
That's good!
People...
People make salad with me.
What?
Why are you two doing it together?
One more time.
What is this?
Carrot.
Why carrot?
I heard it's a vegetable.
Vegetable?
It's a salad.
I said two colors. Gray and...
Gray?
Gray and green.
Gray is gray, you know?
But it's two colors.
Well, it's two colors, right?
There are a lot of men wearing two colors.
Mine is green. It has green in it.
And it's in the salad.
Oh, I know what that crazy thing is.
What is it?
Crunchy. So I thought it might be crunchy.
I heard it's crunchy.
Crunchy?
You said it's crazy.
I said it's crazy or crunchy.
You said it's crunchy?
That's what I thought.
Didn't you say something like people?
People make...
It's a salad that people make a lot.
So I thought it might have lettuce in it.
I see.
So I chose lettuce.
Wada-san, please announce the correct answer.
Red vinegar.
I don't know the answer.
Red vinegar.
The answer is...
Red vinegar.
It was lettuce.
Now for the final question.
The reader of the hint is Meskawago.
I'm purple, outside and...
Wait, wait. Listen, listen.
Outside and gold inside...
I make people fast...
...fart.
First of all, shall we review the rules of the cards?
There is no rule that you take back what you took.
What is this?
Eggplant.
Yes, what do you think?
It's purple and...
...everyone said "bread", so...
Bread.
Kitaro said it first than everyone else.
Purple.
I see.
The moment you heard "purple", you were in a hurry.
We were in a hurry.
Kitaro, who used to be so quiet, now has a lot of fighting spirit.
Hey, did something happen in February?
I don't think anything happened.
Inside and gold?
Gold inside.
Even so, it's purple.
Ah, it's the yellow part.
The second part is...
I make people...
...fart.
Hiratsu-san, what is this?
I make people...
...fart.
Fart and "onara" (fart) are...
That's right.
Fart.
Everyone does it a lot, right?
But...
"Chu" means "fart", right?
So, the correct answer is...
Sweet potato.
And the result of the cards is...
Nagata-san won with 2 cards, and Nojo-san won with 2 cards.
Wow!
I'm glad you didn't lose.
We always lose to our guests.
Nojo-san, you did your best. Thank you.
I did it!
And Messe Meyer and Messe Hirata each won 1 card.
Lastly, let's sing "Holding out for a hero" one more time.
Do you want to be a regular on the show?
I want to be, but...
I'd like to be a little more advanced.
The teacher looks sad, so don't do it!
