AISubs v3.5
On the day of studio recording, a ridiculous plan was about to be carried out.
Good morning.
Excuse me.
Yes.
Takahashi Minami appeared.
Shall we do something different in 90 minutes?
Challenge the...
AKB...
It's sudden, but can you listen to me?
What?
Choose one.
Yes.
For some reason, Takahashi is pulled out at 9 o'clock.
What is there?
It's weird, isn't it?
"Tamanori" is...
"Tamanori" is the keyword.
And when you turn the flip over...
"Tamanori" and go 3 meters...
It's impossible!
"Challenge the...
AKB" is a project where you practice the theme you need for a week for 90 minutes and show it in the studio!
I'll put this glove in my mouth in one minute and make it explode!
What kind of variety show is this?
Why is it 90 minutes?
When we asked Tanaka sensei, a concentration counselor, why it's 90 minutes...
The limit of human concentration that lasts is said to be about 90 minutes.
Therefore, a college lecture is also 90 minutes.
The given time is 90 minutes.
It's not good as it is now.
Challenge the limit of human concentration!
I'm nervous.
There were various dramas of the members.
Can they master the theme and succeed in one shot?
"Challenge the...
AKB"!
This time, I'd like you to challenge yourself to the limit of human concentration!
That's harsh.
I heard it's 90 minutes, so I thought it'd be easy, but it actually takes a lot of time to practice.
It feels like you're making excuses for yourself.
She started talking, didn't she?
Really?
Then, can you do it?
Minervis-san, Minervis-san, and Mukasai-san, you're in the middle of a show, so don't talk.
I'm sorry.
That's right.
The one who will judge whether it's a success or a failure is the random producer, Goto-san!
Nice to meet you!
This time, I won't let Goto-san talk at all.
I'm sorry.
Please judge it harshly.
I will judge it harshly.
Won't you talk?
The challenge has begun!
Who will be the first challenger?
Then, let's have the first challenger appear!
Please come out!
Nice to meet you!
Yay! Yay! Yay!
Here is the question!
Break five balloons in a row within 30 seconds in the hall!
Since it's Fukiya's job, can you give us some simple tips?
Fukiya?
Fukiya's first tip is breathing!
Can you say "fukiya"?
I know that!
She's asking you how you breathe!
It's like you're trying really hard!
Is it a matter of feeling?!
As you can see, how was Fukiya's practice?
Ah! Good morning!
Good morning! Hello!
Hello!
Fukiya's teacher is Takahashi Ken-san, 5th instructor of the Japanese Fukiya Recreation Association!
It's a bit far, isn't it?
No, it's fine!
Is it safe?
I'll do my best!
Do your best!
Yes!
First, let's see Komori's skills!
Ah! It doesn't reach!
Ah! Not at all!
Let's see the other side!
The teacher will show Fukiya's skills!
My speed is about 100km/h.
Now, the teacher will tell Fukiya how to improve her skills!
Your left foot is the axis of your foot.
Your left foot should be straight.
And your right foot should be half-stepped forward.
Like this?
Yes.
First, the direction of your foot.
Your left foot should be straight.
And your right foot should be half-stepped forward.
In this way, you can fly straight.
Your left foot should be straight.
And your right foot should be half-stepped forward.
It's a little too low now, isn't it?
It's a little too low.
It reached the target, but it didn't hit the target.
Practice starts in 20 minutes.
Next is how to add "ima" and "shikkari haite", "shikkari sutte", and "fuku".
Next is "kakyuu hou".
"shikkari haite", "shikkari sutte", and then "ya" and "fuku".
With less momentum, the accuracy increases!
This is hard!
It seems like Komori is grasping something!
Wow, amazing!
Wow, amazing! Amazing!
I've grasped a tip.
You can't do it sideways like this.
Face forward and don't move your body.
That's the tip.
Anyway, you have to use your breath properly.
Komori has improved a lot since the beginning of practice!
Wow, amazing!
Your hands are amazing!
Amazing!
Look! Did you see Komori's face just now?
The more you look at it from the beginning of practice, the more the form changes!
Will Komori be able to break 5 balloons in 30 seconds?
Let's start Komori's challenge!
Break 5 balloons in a row in 30 seconds!
The challenge is to break all 5 balloons within 30 seconds in 30 seconds!
Challenge the AKB!
Break!
30 seconds!
Wow, amazing!
Really?
Wow, amazing!
This is quite interesting!
Wait! Wait a minute!
What is it?
[Komori is a genius!]
Are you serious?
Yes, I am.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Are you a genius, Komori?
Yes.
Komori is a genius.
Yes, Komori is a genius.
Are you serious?
Yes, I am a genius.
I am a genius.
With only 90 minutes of practice, she succeeded in five consecutive balloons.
Wow! She showed her concentration even in the last minute!
Komori is a genius after all!
The next challenger is this person!
Itano!
Itano's challenge is this!
She will do a plank in one minute with a yo-yo!
I would like this teacher to appear and show us what kind of shape it is.
The teacher of yo-yo is this person!
She is Suzuki B., a broadcaster of this show!
The teacher of this show is Suzuki B., a broadcaster of this show!
She has won a yo-yo competition before.
Let's do a dog walk.
This is a dog walk.
A dog walk.
Wow!
You don't have to do a dog walk.
I can't help it!
Do it!
If you know how to do it, you should show us!
Let's do a plank.
Wow!
I see.
There are two points.
First, you have to rotate the yo-yo forcefully.
Then, you make a triangle with a string.
In the meantime, you rotate the yo-yo and pass it through.
Can Itano master this great technique in 90 minutes?
Yes, yes, yes.
Ah, but I lost.
It's a little weak. It's still a little weak.
Itano, who has little yo-yo experience, first thoroughly learns how to throw.
I twisted it a little.
The rotation is a little...
It hurts.
It's hard to throw a yo-yo straight.
It's hard.
Practice starts in 35 minutes.
Why does it turn now?
It feels like you're throwing it a little further away.
Rather than dropping it low...
It's high.
Why does it turn now?
The swing of this wrist has improved a lot.
Has it?
You can do it!
I think I can do it!
You can do it!
I think that's better.
I think I can do it!
It seems like she's finally grasped the hang of it.
Oh, you're good!
You were the best just now.
That's it, that's it, that's it.
Ah, that's it, that's it!
Good, good!
You can do it now, right?
In the end, Itano spent more than an hour practicing to rotate a yo-yo.
It's really hard for me to keep spinning under it.
If you hold it and throw it weakly, it'll come up to your hand right away.
If you throw it hard, it'll bend.
Twenty-five minutes left. Finally, it's time for the plank practice.
When you make a triangle with a string, the yo-yo comes back right away, so it's hard to do the plank.
I can't do the plank.
With five minutes left, they go to the studio.
In the end, they couldn't do the plank even once until the actual performance.
Will Itano succeed in one shot performance?
Now, let's try it.
Itano will do the plank in one minute with yo-yo.
The theme is "plank", which is said to be difficult even for yo-yo.
Can they do it?
It's a challenge, AKB!
Wow!
Wow! She did it!
Wow!
Wow! She did it!
The decision is...
correct!
Wow!
She did it!
How was it?
I was moved for the first time.
Right?
Wow!
It's amazing!
You've been practicing for 90 minutes, but you couldn't do it once, right?
Yes.
But you did it.
I gave up.
Why did you give up?
Because it was too difficult.
She couldn't do it for a long time, but she did it for the first time with 90 minutes of concentration.
And now, an emergency plan!
The World Table Tennis 2010 Moscow Tournament will be held on the 23rd of the next day.
To support it, AKB Table Tennis Club is in an emergency!
So, this time...
As a special edition of "Challenge the AKB", four members of the Table Tennis Club will challenge for a table tennis.
We visited an emergency location.
Takahashi and Nakagawa will challenge for 48 consecutive rallies.
It's a highly difficult challenge that requires teamwork.
You only get one chance.
Mineishi and Sashihara will challenge for a smash mark.
Hit the ball against a 12cm diameter window placed in the corner of the Table Tennis Club.
One person gets three chances.
Now, we are in a different venue in Ijiri.
Are you good at Table Tennis?
No way!
Sashara, please shut up.
Actually, I've never played Table Tennis before.
So, I can't do anything in 90 minutes.
Not only Sashara, but all members are beginners in Table Tennis.
What will happen?
In the name of AKB Table Tennis Club, failure is unforgivable!
The practice for 90 minutes has begun!
Sashara and the beginners will try to hit the target first.
Mininichi can't catch the ball well.
Sashiharao is...
Mininichi is in a bad condition.
Here is an advice from the teacher.
If you swing the racket like you're covering it from above, it's easier to catch the ball and it's easier to break it.
Then Mininichi...
She's fast, but the target is successful!
The tension rises at once!
Even the song itself!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
But Sashihara is...
What should I do? It's not good, is it?
The tension doesn't go well and the tension drops.
But Megetsu has practice!
Then...
I think we can win if we play 20 times.
If we play 20 times, we'll win.
On the other hand,
Takahashi and Nakagawa are aiming for a success of 48 rallies.
The rally doesn't last more than a few times and they're struggling.
Kakade-sensei gives them some advice.
If you hit the ball from under the table and hit it with your eyes...
If they can hit the ball on a certain course,
the rally will be stable.
If we hit it in the same direction, we won't have to hold it like this.
Like a robot.
In practice...
With less extra movement, the rally has certainly become stable.
I think we can do it better than we did in the beginning.
But if we don't do the rally, it'll be difficult.
Even though they're certainly improving,
their highest record so far is 23 times.
What will happen?
An hour has passed.
Meanwhile...
I can't do it.
It's tough.
It's difficult.
What's going on with Minenishi?
Actually, they're getting better at hitting the ball,
but they can't hit the target at all.
It's a clear slump.
They're trying to hit the target, but they're under pressure.
I can't do it.
And Sasha too.
I can't do it.
It's hard to hit the target once in 20 times even though there is no more empty shots.
Everyone, you have about 20 minutes left.
I can't do it.
20 minutes left.
Mirenishi is practicing hard.
And Sasha too.
Takahashi and Nakamura come here and set the highest record of 41 times.
Only a little bit to their goal.
With only 2 minutes left, they will chase them further.
Takahashi-san.
Yes.
How do you feel about the earthquake?
During 90 minutes, a lot of rockets hit my hand.
90 minutes.
You spent a lot of 90 minutes.
Sashihara-san, Mirenishi-san.
How about you, Mato-el?
How do you feel?
Well...
What? What? What?
It's so dark!
Wait, wait, wait.
Lower your head.
You can do it. It's okay.
I can hit my head once in 20 times.
Once in 20 times?
Yes.
Mirenishi-san?
Once in 10 times.
Be confident.
Yes.
Please.
Yes.
Now, it's time for the real thing.
First of all, it's a 48 times in a row.
Takahashi and Nakagawa's challenge.
They have only one chance.
Will they succeed?
Challenger A.K.B., start!
Good luck!
Here I go.
Yes.
I did it!
Takahashi and Nakagawa succeeded in 48 consecutive rallies with difficulty high in 90 minutes of practice.
How was it, Takahashi?
It was really fun.
Just before it started...
I was about to sneeze.
Wait!
I'm not a tourist.
Will Takahashi and Nakagawa continue?
Will they be able to score a smash hit?
The chance is 39!
First, Mine Nishi will challenge!
Challenge the AKB! Start!
You can do it!
After this, a miracle will happen to Mine West!
Challenge the AKB! Start!
You can do it!
Please.
Here I go.
Goal!
In practice, he was forced to do it, but surprisingly, he succeeded in one goal in the actual game!
He made a miracle happen!
Now, it's Sashihara's turn!
The chance is three goals! Smash or Challenge the AKB!
Start!
Go for it!
Three...two...one...
Okay.
The first goal was a failure.
Now, the second goal.
The second goal was also slightly off.
The last goal!
You lost!
Don't cry!
You did your best!
Cheer up!
Really, I did my best!
But I'm glad I succeeded.
If I was in a bad condition...
I'm glad you succeeded!
Unfortunately, the challenge was a failure.
But Sashihara did his best!
