AISubs v3.5
July 2009, AKB48's press conference was held that day.
AKB48's new potential?
Until now, AKB48 could only be seen as a cluster of members.
But in this program, we will make it even finer, one by one.
And as a place of growth, we hope that members who have not appeared until now will also appear.
We would like to make this place a place of announcement.
AKB's AKB has announced a new program for AKB.
The title is...
"Weekly AKB"!
Today's "Weekly AKB" is a special!
We will show you all of the famous scenes that AKB has chosen!
It's been half a year since the program started.
This time, we will show you all of the programs that AKB has chosen!
Every week, AKB will try various things!
Crying, learning, sweating a lot of sweat,
And unreleased scenes and members' comments!
You can't miss "Weekly AKB" 60-minute special!
Coming up soon!
It's started! New program "Weekly AKB"!
A memorable first episode!
It was a mixed group of members, but two days ago...
There was an incident that shook up the members!
AKB48, SKE48, 98 people voted for this election.
Yes, the general election decided the first member of the single song by voting of fans.
When it was announced, the venue was enveloped in tears of joy and sadness.
I'm very happy.
And the one who won the first place in that general election is...
Maeda Atsuko!
Congratulations!
Everyone!
Thank you very much!
Maeda Atsuko, who won the first place in that general election!
What is the program that Maeda will choose as the most popular number one program?
"Screaming Queen"!
The first screaming machine quiz contest!
Yeah!
This program is the most popular screaming machine in Japan and answers quizzes!
I used to scream a lot. Do you remember?
My face was terrible, wasn't it?
What was Maeda's terrible face like?
Immediately after the start, fear gradually attacks Maeda!
I'm scared! I want to pee! I want to pee! I want to pee!
At last, the queens have gathered here!
What?! Who?!
Um...
Horses!
Dragons!
Cats!
They're in a state of panic!
And...
No!
Martha doesn't think she's an idol.
Auto-cubic!
What can I say...
I had to go through that fear and think of a quiz.
It's only for a moment, but I had to think about it.
If I just closed my eyes, I wouldn't be so scared.
But when I think about it, my eyes naturally open.
So it was really scary.
August 2009.
AKB holds its first Budokan live!
The theme of this live is...
"AKB 104 Selected Members Music Festival"!
The first Budokan live was a huge success!
But!
Even at this Budokan, a shocking incident happened to the members!
And that is...
From now on, each team will be appointed as captains.
And we will be focusing on captains.
Team A...
Captain...
Minami Takahashi.
Oh my!
Each of Team A, K and B...
Has introduced a captain position they've never seen before!
And!
The shock of changing team members...
Has affected the members!
And this Nito Moeno...
Has changed from Team B to Team K!
And!
Nito's choice for this week's "AKB 104 Selected Members Music Festival"...
To be honest, I feel like I'm about to die.
That's how I feel.
The project Nito risked his life for is...
That's right! Bungee jumping!
The challenger, Minatami Bungee...
Is Japan's only bridge bungee!
How high will it be?
Forty-two meters!
With Japan's highest bungee jump, will AKB members be able to fly?
I'm scared. Hurry up.
The first challenger is Itano Tomomi!
As she looks down from the bridge, she's filled with fear.
Will Itano be able to fly? And...
OK, let's go.
The timer starts now!
What did Itano see when she saw that height again?
- You did it. - Wait, I'm scared!
- I'm scared! - You can do it.
I'm a little scared, but do your best.
And one minute from the start!
Wait, I'm scared!
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm really scared!
In order not to lose to that fear...
- Let's go over our limits. - OK!
Will she be able to bungee jump?
Countdown! Five, four, three, two, one... Bungee!
What are you doing?
The Japanese's best bungee jumper, Itano, did it!
And the next challenger is...
Mito and Moeno will challenge bungee jumping!
The timer starts now!
If you can, to the right.
Oh no!
A little to the right.
I'm scared!
My legs are falling!
Wait!
My legs...
I'm scared, I'm scared!
It's heavy!
It's really heavy!
Will they be able to overcome their fear of heights?
Look straight ahead.
Spread your arms.
Oh no!
You're good!
I can't do it!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
That's fast!
Moeno, you're fast!
That's fast!
They successfully bungee jumped!
What did Mito think at the time?
I'm really glad I went.
If I had to say what I'm most confident in right now, it would be that.
It's embarrassing, but it is.
I want to go again.
I don't know if what I did was right or not.
I want to bungee jump again!
Is it okay for me to say that, Mito?
Today, we're all going to school!
We're all going to school!
On August, we're all going to Lincoln School!
But there's a big secret in Lincoln School, and that is...
Yes, it's a hell's kitchen.
Inside of this hell's kitchen is a dark kitchen.
If you switch to the infrared camera...
I can't see anything!
What is it?
Is someone there?
Help me!
Yes, the hell's kitchen is a dark kitchen.
And it wasn't just dark.
There were various traps hidden in this kitchen.
The four of you can't see anything, but in the hell's kitchen, this person...
Mr. Taeko, who you can see in the dark with an anesthescope, is playing a hellish prank.
That's the hell's kitchen!
I can't see anything.
First of all, in the drink bar, Akimoto searches for drinks.
Coffee, tea, water...
With just one button, you can choose hot or ice cream.
It's a very convenient drink bar, but...
In the dark, you can't see anything at all.
Akimoto tries to drink cold tea, but...
Hot!
And now, Ms. Taeko's hellish prank begins!
First, she removes the curry that Akimoto has prepared.
First pitch!
Akimoto doesn't notice Ms. Taeko's hellish prank at all!
Someone just dropped it!
And another tragedy is...
Also, she rescues the kidnapped members!
"Akiba Fest 48 - Defender of the Exiled"!
Chosen heroes, rescue your comrades kidnapped by zombies!
In order to rescue the kidnapped comrades,
the members cleared various missions while searching for their exiled comrades!
And now...
Here's the mission!
Enter the bathtub and sing "Excuse Me Maybe" number one!
Oh no! I can only think of "Tear Surprise"!
Wait a minute, wait a minute...
What was "Excuse Me Maybe"?
On the usual road...
One, two...
On the usual road...
Riding a bicycle...
When the wind of a hitchhike shakes...
Shut up!
Then...
Why are you singing in this situation?!
Look inside!
Wow, look inside!
This is terrible!
Somehow, they managed to enter the rust!
Maybe you like it...
In the blue sky...
There are no clouds...
Maybe you like it...
In the blue sky...
I know it's love...
Excuse Me Maybe
Mission cleared!
But in the end...
September 2009...
A.K.A.B. 48!
A.K.A.B. held a solo concert in Webster Hall in New York.
The momentum of A.K.A.B. 48 finally spread to the world!
This is the first time in New York.
The night view in New York was so beautiful!
Let's enjoy! It's our showtime!
She showed her nice English!
What would you like to see again?
I've never said "no" at work.
But this is "no"!
What would you like to see again?
There are many spicy foods in the world.
But A.K.A.B. loves spicy food.
They eat spicy food to the limit and conquer it!
A.K.A.B. Gekikara Club!
When they eat "Gekikara Monja" in 6th place...
It smells good!
Did you do something?
Wait a minute!
How will they fight "Gekikara Monja"?
How do you like it?
It's so spicy!
Let's eat!
I want to cheer you up!
It's good!
Is it easy for A.K.A.B. fans?
They eat "Gekikara Monja" one by one!
It's so spicy!
- It's hot! - It's hot, isn't it?
- My nose is running and I'm sweating! - It's hot!
- What's wrong? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? - I can't breathe.
Something strange is happening in Oshima, Canada!
- There's something here! - There's something here!
- What is it? - She was in such a good mood just now.
- I'm exhausted. - Are you exhausted? - Yes, I'm exhausted.
Leaving "Gekikara Monja" one by one, Oshima announces the draw!
The remaining half will be shared by the three of them!
Yohane doesn't want to spit it out. What will the chief Kashima do?
Time check attack!
Oshima doesn't care about "Gekikara" at all and continues to eat "Tabane" Monja!
I'll have the last bite!
- I ate it all! - She ate it all!
- And the second one is also the last bite! - I ate it all!
- The chief also ate the last bite! - I ate it all!
- You can do it! There's only two bites left! - Yes!
Here I go!
What is your impression of Oshima after eating it?
My body wasn't in good condition at all.
It felt like someone was hitting me in my stomach.
From inside, it was like "bang! bang! bang!" and I was like "Uwah! Stop it!"
After this, a very spicy dish that made Oshima even more painful is...
A very spicy hamburger steak that uses a lot of habanero sauce, which is said to be about 160 times as much as tabasco.
What is your impression of Oshima after eating such a very spicy hamburger steak?
Itadakimasu!
I can't take it anymore!
This is what happens!
Muu-chan!
This is what happens!
Is the food ok?
It's ok, it's ok!
It was an island where they worked hard while crying!
And! The board is also first-class!
Weekly AKB has released various club activities so far!
And one more club activity is...
AKB English Club has been released!
In order to spread AKB's culture to the world,
Hitohara launched AKB English Club!
Koushi met up with Saint Kami-san and learned English quickly!
This question! The answer is of course "tell me your phone number"!
Not only first-class level, but also members of AKB English Club,
Hitohara and Hitoha are safe and sound among four people!
But!
There was definitely an idiot!
And Kansai-san!
What is it?
How old are you?
I've never heard you say that for such a long time!
Have you been told that in Shinjuku?
Yeah, but...
Seventeen, seventeen!
Sorry, seventeen, seventeen!
Next up is...
AKB's practical test!
And! The challenges they were given were...
Hollywood star...
What?
Aelto...
No way!
Who?!
However!
There was no such thing!
Actually, this is where the prank begins!
The interviewer is a Hollywood star, Kevin Bacon!
This is the setting of the broadcast!
I'm nervous.
Isn't it crazy?
Please lower your voice a little.
The two are nervous, but Maeda and Kitahara meet fake Kevin in a separate room.
This is Kevin's extra, Jock Sam!
While everyone is watching,
The interview prank finally begins!
Let's start with self-introductions!
I'm Maeda, and I'm 7 years old.
7 years old?
My name is Tomomi Kasai.
The first guest of the interview is...
Hollywood star, Kevin Bacon!
First of all, do you know about us, J.K.B. Hotel?
I've always wanted to meet you.
Wow!
That's right!
How did you know?
It's often played on New York's radio.
It's a very good song and you like it a lot, don't you?
Thank you!
But this is where it gets serious.
There are only two translators left.
It's funny because we're... about it.
I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable.
Excuse me.
Mr. Translator has left.
Will Itano and Kasai be able to communicate in English even in an emergency like this?
The producer encourages them to continue without a translator.
Can you try it?
Is it an English-like conversation?
Yes, in English.
What is it?
It's a little dangerous.
We don't have much time.
Then I'll ask you a question.
On your day off, it's a holiday.
Holiday.
What do you do?
What's that?
Holiday. Day off?
Yes.
What? What? Why? Why? Why do I no longer have a hangover?
Are they singing "I Missed You" to get rid of the heavy atmosphere?
Just the chorus?
One, two...
I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, yes!
I love you!
I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, yes!
I love you!
Hey, can you stand up? Come here, come here.
This is really scary, isn't it?
And then, a fake Kevin...
Christ almighty!
Fuck!
That's super scary!
Where is it? Where is it?
It's in there! It's in there!
And then, from the next waiting room...
My voice is getting louder!
MTV!
This world is coming to an end.
What should I do?
They couldn't have a proper conversation, but they showed their willingness to do their best.
With those feelings in their hearts, I'm sure they'll improve their English as well.
And now, it's finally time for the prank!
As soon as they rush in, Sein leads Kevin to the waiting room and apologizes.
For now...
I think it's fine if you say "I'm sorry."
That's not a problem at all.
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
From their responsibility, they're determined to apologize.
Yes.
Are you okay?
Yes.
And finally, the moment of the surprise story!
What's wrong with you?
Huh?
What are you doing?
Huh?
It's not written, is it?
No, it's not!
You lied! You lied!
You lied!
Actually, he is not Kevin Bacon, but Jack.
It was a lie and fire that was deceived!
In October, AKB appeared in France's biggest opening party of international TV show in Japan.
They gained tremendous popularity in Europe.
Also, their 14th single "river" won first place in Moricon with AKB48 for the first time!
It's like a flying bird!
What is Kojima Haruna's "I want to see you again" plan?
It's a prank!
It's a prank, Mr. Goto!
What kind of prank?
It's a prank of Goto P!
At first, I didn't know much about the industry and I thought all producers in the industry were like that.
What is that prank?
Here it is.
Thank you!
This person is, in this program, the greatest, Goto Yoshio producer, 53 years old.
The real Goto is...
This program's producer was caught off-guard by the members' unexpected aspects in this prank project.
First, Goto greets Maeda and Kojima. What are their reactions?
Goto greets Maeda and Kojima in an idol-like manner.
However, just after that, the bike in the car picked up a real conversation between the two of them.
What is it?
It's the second one.
I'm sure it is.
I was surprised.
I was interested.
In what?
I had mixed feelings.
In what?
Atherans?
No, it's not.
Atherans?
No, it's not.
I was wondering if a strange person with a wig like that would make such an interesting program.
With that sensibility.
And another victim is Shino.
Shino is supposed to do a bad job at her previous assignment.
Good morning.
Thank you for your hard work.
I'm not scared.
Huh?
No, I'm really scared of the top-floor house.
The manager standing by the desk to start the operation.
What kind of reaction will he show?
What I was curious about before was...
You know, the logo you drew before.
Yeah, I know that.
Everyone is trying their best.
No, it's not like...
Everyone was drawing like that, so...
I drew it like this for fun so that it can be used.
I was going to draw it like that for the second time.
I drew it like that just for fun.
And then!
Goto responds to an adult's answer.
I didn't ask you anything like that.
I don't know anything like that.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not.
I'm scared.
Is this a joke?
I'm scared.
It's not like that. No one said anything like that.
This is why you drew it like that.
It's all over again.
Shino responds to Goto, who is too unreasonable.
What do you think?
That's what I thought.
Is it funny?
No.
It's not like that.
Shino responds to Goto, who is unreasonable.
Then...
I'll be serious this time.
I'll be serious.
What do you think?
I'll be serious.
Are you serious?
I'm serious.
Are you serious?
I'm serious.
In a heavy atmosphere, the main topic is "the face".
Kozo, are you aware of it now?
Are you aware of it now?
Is it hot?
From the beginning.
It's hot.
It's hot, isn't it?
When I was thinking about you, I was wondering if it would be hot in that leather jacket.
I didn't think it would be hot.
I don't know if everyone knows about it.
I'm not lying.
But there are a lot of people who say it now.
I'm not lying.
It's hot.
It's hot, isn't it?
It was an honest death.
And on October 10, 2009, the AKB48 Team Competition Sports Day will be held in Chiba, Makuhari-mesuto.
Approximately 4,000 fans, AKB, SKE, researchers and a total of 71 members will gather at the venue.
And the theme of this sports day is "bond".
Two months after the shocking team shuffle announced at the Budokan, this time they will challenge for the last battle of the current team.
As you can see, all nine events, including relays, will be held today.
A passionate battle for the team's bond.
So, this time, we'll introduce you to the top three famous matches of the big sports festival!
First and third place goes to...
Free-throw match!
This event was held in a team competition.
Each team will do a free-throw.
The team with the most free-throws wins!
Top batters who are both out of their teams...
Will he make it?!
It's in! It's in!
Team A, Kei is out in a row.
Team B...
It's in!
Ohta makes it! A two-point lead!
It's like a two-point...
And there are four players left.
Team A's Itano...
If he misses this, he'll lose.
Will he make it?!
Will he?!
It's in!
Itano saves his team!
Team Kei is out in a row.
Team A's Takahashi...
If he misses this, he'll lose.
Will he?!
It's in! It's in!
Takahashi makes a two-point shot.
He catches up with Team B in the middle of the game!
So, the free-throw match is between Team A and Team B.
Who is Team A's player?
Shinoda makes an appearance!
If Shinoda makes a decision now, it'll be a comeback!
Will he?!
Will Shinoda make a decision?
It's sudden death.
I want to make a decision.
Team A, Shinoda!
He did it, Shinoda! He scored his first sudden death!
This puts a lot of pressure on Team B!
Next up is Team B, Katayama's challenge. Will he be able to score a sudden death again?
He missed it!
At this moment, Team A's free throw match has been decided!
And now for the second match of the big sports day!
It's the butt-to-butt series match!
The sudden golden card of Maeda vs. Oshima has been realized!
Now for the series match!
The first match is Maeda vs. Oshima Yūko!
This match is between the popular No. 1 and No. 2!
The fans' attention has increased even more!
Will it be Maeda who wins?
Or will it be Oshima?
Pay attention to their butts!
They're standing up!
They can't stand it anymore!
It was decided in no time!
This match was decided in an instant!
Oshima's physical ability has been restored!
And the first match is...
Who is AKB48's No. 1 splitter?
It's the 50m race!
It's the 50m race that all the members participated in!
In order to break through the preliminaries, a fierce battle has taken place!
And now, pay attention to the battle between Oshima who passed in the first preliminaries and Akimoto who passed in the second preliminaries!
Will it be Oshima who wins?
Or will it be Akimoto?
The final match has begun!
Who is AKB's fastest splitter?
The start is cut off.
The left is still fast.
The two are fast.
OSHIMA and AKIBOTO.
Which of these two is a dead hit?
Almost at the same time.
I don't know about this.
It's really awkward, but OSHIMA won by a narrow margin.
So, the number one splitter will be OSHIMA YUKO.
It was OSHIMA YUKO who blew everyone's minds.
After this, we will announce plans you want to see again.
In November 2009, AKB's "Infinity" became a huge success.
The kiss scene between members became a hot topic.
It's you, right?
And...
SKE48 is active in Nagoya.
SKE48 is an AKB48 acting group that went abroad as the first group to go abroad.
What kind of plans does SKE48 have that they want to see again?
It's an AKB intermediate test.
In this intermediate test, the same SKE48 member, Yagami Kumi-chan,
unfortunately, was recognized as an idiot.
Weekly AKB first intermediate test!
I'm not excited at all.
Even in plans that fans want to see again, the most popular one was the intermediate test.
Here is a famous scene of such embarrassment and loneliness.
Start!
In order to know each member's academic ability,
the program conducted a common sense problem test for the intermediate test.
Use your eyes and nose to make sentences.
Let's look at the correct example from here.
Akimoto-san.
Go ahead.
From my house to school is within sight of my eyes and nose.
There was also an answer like this.
Yagami-chan.
My eyes and nose are itching because of hay fever.
Next is about haikus.
Even in the famous haikus "natsukusaya, kusagakidomo ga yumeno ato" Yagami is...
This is what Yagami-chan wrote.
natsukusaya
Read it.
Yagami-chan, read it.
natsukusaya, kusagakidomo ga yumeno ato
What happened?
Yagami-chan, what happened?
Did you do something bad?
What happened to you?
Did you do something bad to a child?
You know...
When you say "domo", is that what you mean?
"Domo" equals "kusagaccha"
Even though I'm an examinee...
Well, I was able to get first place in the beginning, but...
In the intermediate test, I was called "idiot"
It was very interesting, but also very impressive.
In December 2009...
Something happy for akb48...
Did you receive any information from the staff?
We just received information from akb48.
What information did they receive from Yasushi Akimoto, the general producer?
Is it weird?
What is it?
The 60th NHK Kouhaku Exhibition...
akb48 will have their second Kouhaku Exhibition in two years!
Weekly akb48 members will become Santa Claus in December...
And plan a surprise event!
We will surprise akb48's panda with a Christmas cake!
If you like it, let's say you like it!
It was Nagisa-chan who was surprised by the sudden visit of the members!
So, here is the unreleased video with AKB!
Daisuke Mizumuma, first year of high school.
Among AKB, he is a big fan of Elena Ono and Mayu Watanabe!
While Daisuke-kun wasn't around, she sneaked into his house.
And then, she set up a hidden camera beforehand!
And then, when Daisuke-kun came back from work, she went to the first floor living room to eat.
There, AKB Santas waited in Daisuke-kun's room on the second floor.
After that, they sent a "Merry Christmas" surprise to Daisuke-kun who came back to his room!
Will their plan succeed? Let's find out!
Where are you going?
I'm going home!
Daisuke-kun is going home!
I'm going home!
And this is a gift for you.
Is this a gift for my family?
It's kind of you.
Even if you tell me to go away, I'll come back next year.
The surprise will be revealed soon! Tension is running high!
We wish you a Merry Christmas!
What?
Do you know who they are?
Yes, of course.
By the way, do you have a nickname for them?
All of them.
All of them?
To be honest, I heard that you like them.
How do you feel now?
I can't see them.
You can't see them.
You are shy.
It's cold.
And they will receive a handmade Christmas cake from AKB Santa.
Please accept it.
Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas!
How will AKB Santa's handmade cake taste like?
It's delicious.
Thank you!
One, two...
Merry Christmas!
Daisuke was also very satisfied with the Christmas night.
What is the next program that Mayu Watanabe would like to see again?
The second part of "Screaming Queen Championship".
I didn't think I would say something like that.
I was surprised when I watched the VTR.
I didn't know I would say something like that.
Here is what Watanabe screamed the most.
The second part of "Screaming Queen Championship in Kimodameshi".
Watanabe was scared in a haunted house.
He opened a big door and screamed.
And when he went inside...
That's scary!
That's not the reaction of someone who was scared!
What's with the "yahoo!"
What's wrong?! It was so scary that my consciousness just flew away!
I thought if I screamed it wouldn't be scary anymore,
so I thought "yahoo!", and then I screamed.
"AKB48" full performance drama "MADISSA SCIENCE PARK" is finally starting next week!
Are you looking forward to it?
Yes!
What is the member's goal for 2010?
My goal for 2010 is...
I want to be able to speak English normally.
I will do my best as my goal for this year.
I want to be strong.
I want to be healthy.
I want to be healthy and do my job well.
My goal for 2010 is...
I want to develop my faith.
I want to try anything.
I'm not good at speaking.
I want to improve my speaking skills.
I want to try various things.
My goal for 2010 is...
I want to learn and develop various things.
I want to try various things and improve myself.
- Are you serious? - Of course! I'm serious!
Mayuri and Lovetan...
I told you I'm serious!
I hate you, but what you're saying is wrong!
Oshima and Miyazawa...
- Hey, Miyazawa! - Are playing dodgeball!
But...
What's going on?!
Banzai, jump up!
Next week, on AKB...
Another Majiska Academy story!
Look forward to it!
