[This week's logo is...?]
One, two...
Shooter!
Every week, a new logo is added.
Whose work is it this week?
After this, the show begins!
Thank you! Thank you!
The worst...
You're kidding! You're kidding!
It's a prank!
You're kidding! You're kidding!
What happened?!
Now, let's begin "Weekly AKB"!
The songs this week are...
“I want to be loved”, “I want to love”, “But I still want to be loved”, “Place Name Village”, “Amina Island”!
Yes! "Tsubasa tea", "barley tea", "oolong tea", "but it's still autumn tea"!
I'm Aki Takajo!
And! Our favorite common! Speedwagon-san!
Hello!
Then, all of a sudden!
If Itoga-san could speak English, his wife might not have been able to escape.
You've brought up a lot of things!
Itoga-san...
Yes! This week is...
"English project"!
However, these words can develop into an incredible era!
“AKB English Club” is launched!
In order for AKB's activities to spread to the world, Kitahara gave up on learning English!
However...
Studying is English, isn't it?
I'm not good at studying!
Learning English is not difficult at all!
For the sake of the members who don't get too excited...
Kitahara received a special award, "Saint Kami- san", and proudly announced the slogan of the UK!
The word that I like the most as a club leader...
"Fight"!
Decided!
Decided? Oh, you've already decided?
By the way, "fight" is a word that Japanese people use to encourage each other, right?
But in English, it's like "let's fight"!
Who said that?!
It's like "let's team up"!
Who said that?!
Are you okay?
Since the club leader is like this...
First, Saint Kami-san will conduct an academic test to test the skills of the English club members!
First, the elementary school level questions!
Can you tell me your number?
Together!
Can you tell me your number?
Number?
Of course, the answer to this question is...
"Teach me how to communicate"!
Not only for the elementary school level questions, but for the English club members as well...
Kitahara received an award for being one of the four!
But it's safe to say that it's correct!
However!
The idiot definitely existed!
And Kansai-san, how old are you?
How old?
How can you say that after listening for so long?
Have you been told that before?
Have you been told that in Shinjuku?
I think I was told "seventeen, seventeen"
You're 17, 17 years old.
That's about 60 years old.
Next, mid-level questions!
Are you serious?
Maeda-san's answer is...
Maeda-san, cornflakes.
I thought it was cereal.
I thought it was cornflakes.
Cornflake is okay!
Next question!
You have a good figure.
We have a good figure.
Okay.
Figure! What?
Bad figure! Bad figure!
If you read it in Japanese, it's "figure".
Ah! I know! I know!
First, Kasai's answer!
"Atana" is...
In English, isn't "kokugo" bad?
What is "figure"?
Doll?
Doll, yes.
Next, Itano's answer!
You have something you like.
You have a doll-like style.
I like this style.
I see.
The correct answer is this!
Ta-dah!
Did you see it?
The learning ability test is over!
However, you don't know your actual English speaking ability.
Team Kitahara and Team Itano will go to the next corner.
Next is the English speaking practice test!
That's right.
To improve your English speaking ability, you have to actively speak in English.
The practice test this time is...
You will go to a cafe with foreign staff who can only speak English and compete with each team...
to see how well you can speak English with the staff.
The method of the competition is...
Both teams will be given a test note that has been reviewed according to the difficulty of the test...
and if the conversation between the staff and the test is successful, you will get points!
With a time limit of 10 minutes, the team with the highest total points will win!
And for the winning team...
They will have great points that will open up a world wide road!
Without further ado, let's start the practice test with Team Itano!
Ah, she came in.
She said hello.
Hello!
Where are you from?
Thank you!
As soon as she enters the store, she suddenly starts talking in a loud voice!
What should I say?
I want to drink coffee.
What should you say?
It's hot.
She ordered two cups of coffee without any menu.
She got 10 out of 10.
She said OK.
She said your name.
Was it Emily?
What did you say?
Why did you say "Emily"?
I see. She said your age.
Oh, we're the same age?
We're close.
Oh, she's here.
But after that...
Do you like Zofa?
I love Japan.
It's a very beautiful country.
Is it because of the awkwardness before entering the store,
that she's getting more and more points?
She has two minutes left.
I'll aim for 30 points.
Oh, that's good.
Excuse me?
This one?
You... you... I... I...
Water... water... water...
Um... water... water... water...
There's a limit to your gestures and lack of words.
And now, it's time-up!
Team Itano Kasai gets 110 points!
Next up is Team Kitahara Maito's challenge!
And now, it's Team Kitahara Maeda's turn!
What will it be? Ah! Can you predict it?
Here it is!
Excuse me?
Yes, finally...
Oh, cute!
Thank you! You too!
Oh, cute and cute!
Yes, they're hugging each other.
Apple juice, please?
Yes!
Water, please?
Water, sure!
There's apple juice and water!
Water and apple juice.
Oh, thank you!
Okay... oh, she left.
Right? You have to use that part well!
Let's talk!
Let's talk! Let's talk! Come on! Let's talk! Let's talk!
Well, that's good. Let's talk!
Oh, thank you!
Let's talk, then!
Even so, even though Kitahara, the president of PRIDE, actively challenges difficult topics,
in the end, she loses time several days in a row.
Unfortunately, she didn't get 30 points.
And in a blink of an eye, there are only 3 minutes left.
She chose which one is cuter. This is also 20 points.
Which one is the cutest?
Why? Why?
Kitahara, can you shake your head a little?
Why?
Maybe I like the way your hair is.
Thank you!
So, Kitahara, did you get sunburned?
What a reckless challenge!
Do you... do you... face... change? Or...
Did you change your face?
It's like she's asking if you got plastic surgery or not.
Face change...
Did you change your face?
From what?
Ah, I couldn't understand! I couldn't understand!
In the end, again, she loses time.
Unfortunately, she didn't get 30 points.
I need to hurry up.
I don't know... what is this?
And there are only 30 seconds left.
She went for the last match!
What food do you like?
She chose Japanese food.
Who is your favorite actor?
Maybe Oguri Shun.
That's amazing!
You like Oguri Shun, don't you?
Ah, I won!
In the end, she got points consecutively and got more time!
Which team won?
We will announce the results of the practice match!
And the winning team is...
The winner is...
Congratulations!
And the winning team is...
You can meet a Hollywood star.
No way! Who is it?
That's right! You can interview Hollywood star Kevin Bacon!
Speaking of Kevin Bacon,
In 1984's "Footloose",
in a country town where dancing is prohibited,
a young actor who is rebellious against adults plays a big role.
Even now, he still has that presence.
He is a super big actor!
Now, this year's Christmas season,
it's been 25 years since this movie was released.
"Footloose 2" is getting a lot of PR.
How do you feel about it?
What? You don't know Kevin Bacon?
Yes.
I don't know him.
However!
Next year, Kevin will direct a Hollywood movie set in Japan,
and is currently looking for a female high school student.
This means...
This could be the world's...
No way!
However, there is no such sweet story!
That is, after Itano and Kasai went for the interview...
I'm sorry. I'm frustrated.
Frustrated? Really?
Frustrated doesn't matter.
Even if it's a prank, it doesn't matter.
What?
It's a prank, a prank.
What?
Everyone, me, what? Kevin Bacon?
There's no way I'd come!
No way!
"Little's Two"?
No, no!
No way!
Really?
That's right! The interview was a prank set up by the show!
In this setting, Itano and Kasai interview fake Kevin Bacon!
However, during the interview, for some reason, there is no translation!
Will the remaining two be able to communicate only in fake Kevin and English even in such an emergency?
It's a prank born of the show's parents' hearts!
After that, Itano and Kasai, who know nothing, wait for Kevin Bacon at the interview venue!
I'm scared. I'm nervous.
In front of Kevin's waiting room is a terrifying SP set up by Bauri!
What is it?
I'm nervous.
Isn't it bad?
Can you turn up the volume?
I'm nervous.
From the staff, Kevin Bacon's profile is handed over!
But this picture!
This time, it was of a foreign extra working as a fake Kevin!
Maeda and Kitahara also secretly go to a fake Kevin's waiting room!
They meet an extra who often acts as Kevin!
While the saints are watching...
Finally, the interview prank opens its doors!
We're going to talk about fighting, right?
Good luck, Jiyuu!
- Hello! - Hi, how are you?
- What was it? - What was it?
What was it?
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon!
Wow!
- Nice to meet you! - Nice to meet you!
- Your entrance is like that. - Nice to meet you!
- First, their introductions! - Thank you!
- My name is Tomomi Tano. Seven years old. - Seven years old?
- My name is Tomomi Kasai. - Tomomi...
Kasai...
- Sam. - Sam...
- Same as you, Tomomi. - Tomomi...
Okay!
- You're okay with that name? - Tomomi!
The interview is about to start!
The first guest of the interview is...
Famous Hollywood star, Kevin Macon!
Thank you!
Without further ado, do you know about us, JKB Hotel?
I've always wanted to meet you.
Wow!
That's right!
Why do you know about us?
We often hear it on the radio in New York.
It's a really good song and we love it!
Thank you!
"Footloose 2" is a world-wide dance martial arts competition.
Oh, yeah!
That's right!
Did you watch "Footloose 2" Part 1?
Yes!
Oh, you did, you did!
Did you see the part where the goddess of freedom starts dancing?
Yes, yes!
It was pretty wild!
"Footloose 2" is a world-wide dance competition.
Dancing at the top of the pyramid in Egypt is really impressive!
Wow!
What did we have to do to get permission for more than 20 years?
Wow!
It's all weird talk, but when they debuted in Hollywood, they were completely blind!
I'm sorry if it's too much, but I'd like to see you dance for a little bit.
Just a little bit!
The real Kevin's dance is also professional!
Thank you!
I do, I love dancing. You ready?
Oh, oh!
It's not perfect synchronicity, but...
It looks fun!
Yeah!
It's so fun, thank you!
Thank you!
This is really fun!
So, they have fake Kevin cut out the director of the movie.
Actually, we're planning to shoot a movie in Japan next year.
Oh, I heard!
We're looking for an actress for the movie "Fujiyama Girl", which is based on the love story of girls in Shibuya.
If you don't mind, would you like to appear in it?
I don't know...
Look!
Are you sure?
What's this?
Is this a handshake?
Or we're hugging you now?
Are you sure?
We'd like you to appear in it, too!
Really?
We'd like you to appear in it, too!
Really?
Okay!
No!
But, from now on is the real thing!
There are only two translators left!
It's funny because it works!
Does anybody here speak English?
English!
Can you guys... Can we try this in English for a while?
A little bit...
I can't do it!
A.K.A.B. attacks A.K.A.B.!
What's that?
In the middle of the interview, a translator suddenly exits due to illness!
Will Itano and Kasai be able to communicate in English even in an emergency like this?!
Even without a translator, the producer continues his work.
Can you try to do it?
In English?
Yes, in English.
What is it?
This is bad.
We don't have much time.
Let me ask you a question.
On your day off, you go on holiday, right?
What do you do?
Holiday? Day off?
What is it? What is it?
Why is there no translation?!
What animal do you like?
Yes.
Animal.
Oh, that's a good question.
Okay.
Let's go with goats.
I'm sorry.
Help me!
She's angry.
She's in a bad mood.
She looks like she's in a bad mood.
Are they singing "I Missed You" to get rid of the bad mood?
One, two...
I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, yes!
I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, yes!
Yay!
Hey, can you stand up?
Can you come here?
This is really scary!
And then, fake Kevin...
Christ almighty!
Fuck!
That's really scary!
I'm scared! I'm scared!
And then, from the next waiting room...
My voice is getting louder!
A-K-B! A-K-B!
I don't know if this world will end.
But in reality...
A-K-B...
A-K-B! A-K-B!
Without the help of the staff, she just shouted out loud for the two people next to her to hear her.
What should I do?
They weren't able to have a proper conversation, but they showed their willingness to do their best.
With that feeling in their hearts, I'm sure their English will improve.
And now, it's finally time for the prank!
As soon as they rushed over, Sein leads Kevin to the waiting room and apologizes.
For now...
It's okay, it's okay.
I think it's okay if you just say "I'm sorry."
That's not a problem at all.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
From responsibility, the two are determined to apologize.
And finally, the moment of the surprise story!
Huh?
What are you doing?
Huh?
It's not written, is it?
It's a lie! It's a lie! It's a lie!
It's a lie! It's a lie!
It's a lie!
Actually, he is not Kevin Babe, but Jack.
What!
It's a lie! It's a lie!
That's right, he is Kevin's clothes, Jack.
It's a lie! It's a lie!
Japanese is a flat thing!
Our dance is amazing... I heard it's amazing, but it's amazing...
It's a lie! It's a lie!
It's a lie!
You were complimenting me.
I was complimenting you.
I wonder if you're cold.
It was cute.
Were you watching?
I was watching.
It's a lie!
AKB English Club has begun to run towards the world!
