AISubs v3.5
May Fool's Day, Weekly AKB's recording day.
Good morning!
Okay, I'll announce the topic right away.
Okay!
Here is the topic we will be discussing.
30 types of Yuru-characters in Japan.
Yuru-characters!
The topic suddenly announced by the members.
Here is what you will be doing.
Yes!
What does it mean?
You know, right?
Challenge the AKB.
From now on, you will practice for 90 minutes and do it in the studio.
What?
Do you understand?
Are you Yuru-characters?
Of course we are.
Don't you have time?
No, we don't.
Please practice and do your best.
What?
If you don't succeed, we won't support you.
What?
Practice time is only 90 minutes.
Challenge the AKB to succeed in the topic.
I'm Mariko Nakamura of Team 4's 18 years old.
I'll do my best today, too!
AKB will challenge their own limits.
Will they be able to overcome their limits?
Practice for 90 minutes and do it in the topic.
Challenge the AKB!
Here we are with the 3rd episode of Challenge the AKB!
Today we will see how many people will succeed.
Sugiyama-san, who do you think will succeed?
I think...
You said pork sauté, didn't you?
I didn't say that.
Nobody said pork sauté.
You're the only one who said pork, Sugiyama-san.
If I were to say it properly...
Abe had plenty of time.
I see.
If Abe doesn't succeed...
He won't succeed.
Is that so?
While everyone was practicing hard...
You were taking a break, weren't you?
I came to disturb you.
You had plenty of time to practice and look at the scenery.
I'm sorry.
If you succeed in this challenge...
As a reward...
You will receive 2,000 yen worth of book cards!
Yay!
This makes me happy!
I want it! I want it!
I want it!
From now on...
We will have the studio show us what they have practiced for 90 minutes.
This time, it will be Yatabe who will judge whether they succeeded or failed.
Let's have the first challenger appear.
The first challenger is this person!
Please come in!
Hello!
Chika-san!
Ichikawa-chan!
Please come in!
The person who will challenge Ichikawa-san is...
Yes!
With yo-yo, within one minute, she succeeded.
That's how it is.
Now, let's introduce the teacher who taught us.
Please come in!
Thank you!
I'm already a yo-yo master.
When she was in elementary school, she shined as a local yo-yo champion.
Our program's co-producer, Suzuki B!
Will you show us your yo-yo technique?
Yo-yo technique?
Yes!
Please show us!
Amazing!
Actually, this yo-yo...
The one who challenged it in the previous "Challenge the AKB" is...
Ichikawa Suzuki!
During practice, she couldn't succeed even once.
But in the actual show, she succeeded in one try!
Here...
Well, well, well...
When you decide...
Just like Itano-san...
Yes!
You have what you have or don't have.
A star decides here.
She decides!
Yes!
Such Ichikawa's practice...
She learned it from the correct way of throwing a yo-yo.
I don't use that much of an opinion.
When she tries to throw a yo-yo in her own way...
Ah! It's stuck.
One, two...
What? What's wrong with you?
She's worried about where to go first.
What? I'm worried.
You're worried, aren't you?
Try it yourself.
So, first of all...
Try to tap here.
Like that.
Until you make a sound.
That's it, that's it, that's it.
Do it like this for ten minutes.
Next is throwing straight.
No, it's bent.
It's bent.
No!
No, it's bent.
It's not strong anymore.
Straight!
It's bent.
And it's weak.
No, it's bent.
When the form gets bad, she keeps doing it.
That's it.
After 30 minutes of practice...
She's finally able to spin properly!
That's it, that's it, that's it.
That's it, that's it.
Wow!
Stand a little more straight.
I can do it now.
Yes.
Our house is watching her practice like that!
So...
Are you doing it?
Yes!
How is it?
Are you doing it?
Yes, I'm doing it!
Sana is practicing so hard!
Sana!
Abe-san, you too!
Abe!
Are you ready? Are you ready now?
I feel like it's going to be fun.
Abe is relaxed.
Abe hasn't practiced at all.
Abe, who seems bored, wants to give it a try.
This one.
The expensive one.
This is embarrassing!
Don't join in.
You're different from Yalbeak.
I know.
You're Ichikawa.
I'm sorry.
Give me back my practice time!
That's right! You want me to give it back, right?
Give it back!
I'm sorry.
Do your best!
She wants to practice as much as she can.
Ichikawa had her biggest problem.
My hands are small and there's a gap here.
I see. The blank is narrow.
I see.
It's really small.
That's true.
My hands are small. What is this?
It's embarrassing!
The real difficulty of this problem starts now.
This is the biggest problem so far.
I can't make a sound.
While the yo-yo is spinning, grab the string with your left hand...
and make a shape of a blank.
You have to pass the yo-yo through the blank.
That's right. You can do it like this.
Since her hands are small, there's less space for her to pass the yo-yo.
One, two, three, four...
No, you can't do it like that.
One...
She repeats the same movement over and over again and makes her body remember it.
Two...
Three...
That's it! That's it! That's it!
Like this, their 90-minute practice is over!
Now, what will happen to Ichikawa's fate?!
Good luck!
Now, can Ichikawa-san successfully do a plank in one minute?!
Challenge the AKB!
- Wow! - Ouch!
- Are you okay? Do you still have time? - I'm fine, I'm fine.
- Do you still have time? - I still have plenty of time.
- That's too bad. - Let's calm down.
Let's calm down and go.
- We can go two more times, right? - Are you okay? - I'm fine.
- Okay, okay, calm down.
- Calm down, calm down. - You can do it! You can do it! - I'm fine. - You can do it! You can do it!
You still have 30 seconds!
- Okay, let's go with this. - You can do it, you can do it, you can do it.
- It's okay, it's okay. - It's okay, it's okay!
- It's okay! - I said it's okay!
- You have to wind it up properly. - You have to wind it up properly.
- Let's go! - Let's do it!
- Three...two...one...
- Ah, what a shame!
- Well, it took me a while to judge this!
- With such a bitter expression, the challenge is...
- OUT! - Ah, I see.
- How was it?
- First of all, you can say that you're not used to Tomo-chan anymore, right?
- That's not true!
- They failed on stage!
- Can I let you go? - Let's go home.
- Let's go home.
- You have to change this. - Ah!
- Okay, okay!
- Unexpectedly okay. - Unexpectedly okay.
- Actually, with practice...
- They were able to do it!
- After trying it, did you feel like one minute was too short?
- Yeah, that's right.
- Um...um...it's like...
- Yeah. - Um...um...it's like...
- I can't do it anymore! - It's not like you're allowed to cry!
- It's tough! - It's tough!
- If it's a failure, it's a failure!
- And so, unfortunately, Ichikawa's challenge...
- ...failed!
- The next challenger is this!
- Ah, it's here! - Yes!
- And so... - Thank you very much.
- Abe-san will be challenging this. - Yes.
- Yes!
- You have to split five balloons with five blowers.
- I see.
- What kind of challenge is this? - Split five balloons with five blowers. - I see. - It's exactly the same. - It's exactly the same.
- What? - Before, Komori challenged... - 30 seconds!
- ...to split five balloons without missing a single one in a row. - Wow! - Wow!
- It was a challenge that was easily cleared, but... - I've never done it before, but... - Yes.
- ...it was really hard for me. - I see. - Didn't you take a break?
- Didn't you drink tea and take a break? - Yes. - You went to see Ichikawa-chan's yo-yo. - Yes. - You did, right? - Yes.
- That's why Ichikawa-chan failed. - There are times like that, and there are times like that, right? - Maybe. - Yes.
- Manier-chan, do your best for me. - How kind of you!
- Manier-chan, do your best for me. - How kind of you! - You have to do your best and really clear it! - Yes.
Mr. Tohru Takahashi, co-instructor of the Japanese Fukia Recreation Association, met Mr. Fukia.
- We don't get to meet Fukia often in our daily lives, but... - In actual fact, he's the ancestor of ninjas.
- ...ancestor of ninjas. - Then you can't help but lie. - Um, so what I said after that is...
- Sensei! Sensei! Don't mess with me!
- We actually had an hour and a half of practice time. - Yes.
- Abe-chan, how much did you actually practice? - Well, I was sweating for 90 minutes...
- ...and I was doing it. - No way! Sensei!
Why was Abe taking a break for a limited 90 minutes?
Tsukiya is a beginner, but...
For now, let's see what it's like.
As expected, it doesn't hit the target.
The key to flying Tsukiya straight is...
...to lower your right foot and stand up straight with your left foot.
Then, using your abdominal breathing...
...take a deep breath in and out of your mouth!
Oh! It went in!
- This will lower your spine. - Oh! I did it! I did it!
Just learning the basics of Tsukiya...
...made it easier for Abe to grasp the trick!
I did it! It's the second time!
However, it's important to take a deep breath in and out of your mouth!
If you take a deep breath in and out of your mouth...
...the arrow will fly straight!
However, if you fail to take a deep breath in and out of your mouth...
- Oh! It went in! - I'm tired!
...the arrow won't fly straight!
If you do it for too long, you'll out of breath.
Take a break and practice again.
Rather than practicing with your head down,
it's important to increase your concentration while taking a break!
Would you like me to do something for you?
If you don't mind, I'll take a break.
Oh, you're taking a break.
Break?
We only have 90 minutes.
Hey, where are you?
Hey!
Where are you?
Who is it?
Abe!
Abe Maria.
Abe!
Why are you taking a break?
What are you doing in there?
Drinking tea.
Drinking tea?
So you're relaxed now, right?
Oh, I see.
Can you show me?
Can I?
Sure.
Alright!
Go back!
Abe, go back!
Go back, Abe!
It's not like he was skipping practice just because he didn't like it!
Alright, if you miss even one, you're disqualified.
Yes.
Will Abe-san succeed five times in a row?
Challenge the AKB!
3...
2...
Wow!
How is it?
Amazing!
Cool!
It's like...
I like it!
The position...
Two!
Amazing!
Another one?
Wow! Three! Amazing!
Two more courses to go!
Oh!
Fourth!
One more, one more!
Now, can you decide the last one?
Oh!
Abe's challenge was a success!
Wonderful!
What surprised me the most was that the moment it was a success,
I don't know why, but the teacher was shaking hands with Sugiyama.
Abe's challenge was a success!
For 90 minutes, it wasn't that Abe was resting,
but that he was increasing his concentration!
Wonderful!
After this, Kinoshita will challenge to eat chicken!
The next challenger is...
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you, too!
So, Kinoshita-chan...
Yes, Kinoshita-chan!
The challenge you will do is...
This one!
Pulling a tablecloth in one go!
I see!
This is a little nerve-wracking!
Yes, it is nerve-wracking!
Actually, Matsui Julina challenged this before!
Here I go!
Could it be that "sensei" is...
Sakai Masaaki-san?
Now, what will happen?
I'm nervous!
Sensei, please come!
Let's get ready!
Here you go!
It's him! It's him!
It's him!
No, it's not him, it's not him!
It's because his face is quite different.
No, no, it's amazing!
The one who won the "table class" challenge is...
A comedian with more than 100 types of geis...
Pakupaku Ryuji-san!
How do you feel as a suspect, Kinoshita-chan?
Well, you know...
She's a very serious girl...
But there's one problem...
She's a chicken.
You mean "chicken"?
No, no, no!
She's a human!
No, no, no!
Then, what about your confidence?
Confidence!
With this, I'll overcome being a chicken!
I see!
I'll do my best!
Do your best!
Please do your best!
Yes, do your best!
Let's do our best!
Kinoshita's "90 minutes to overcome being a chicken" is...
Buzz's first attempt without fear of anything!
As expected, it doesn't work.
The point of this table cross pull is...
Hold the table cross firmly with both hands.
And pull it all at once at an angle of 45 degrees down.
The most important thing is courage!
Pull it all at once without hesitation!
However, under the chicken tree...
Eh! Eh! Eh!
She drops her glass many times.
It's broken.
No, no, it's totally fine.
Since she's scared and pulling it, her hands are going crazy.
Fighting against her chicken self.
Let's do it one more time.
Judging by Julina's success rate, her image training...
Here I go.
So cool!
Amazing!
What would you like to say when you see this?
I will definitely succeed in this performance and I want to surpass Julina!
What would you like to surpass Julina?
Actually, Julina challenged to do a double glass.
But what would Kinoshita challenge to do is...
Okay, let's start from Kinoshita.
He did a triple glass!
By surpassing Julina, Kinoshita is trying to recover his funds!
I got a little scared.
I got scared!
This is going to be difficult.
This is weird.
Or do you want to do a double glass and be safe?
I don't know if you will succeed in a double glass, but do you want to do a double glass and definitely succeed?
No!
I will do it like this.
Seriously?!
I will do it like this.
Will Kinoshita surpass Julina and recover his funds?!
This time, I will do a triple glass...
Wow, this is...
This is different from what I imagined!
This is impossible!
For now, you should be happy.
This is scary!
Wait, are you ready?
Yes.
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
Okay, let's start.
Yes!
Will Kinoshita be able to do a triple glass and succeed?
Challenge the A.K.A...

Challenge the A.K.A... 3... 2... 1...
It barely moved!
It was really dangerous!
But this is...
The moment it moved, the glass slightly moved...
A magnificent success!
This is the best!
We did it! Thank you very much!
We did it!
Julia burned, but the chicken also survived!
Next time, it's "Challenge! A.K.A.B." Part 2!

This is so difficult!
