AISubs v3.6
Now, now, now...
Now, this week has begun, too!
Yes!
Let's say it together!
One, two...
Su-i-en-san!
"Su-i-en-san" is a show where Shinagawa Shouji and Oshima Mai-san and members of AKB48
talk about their ordinary questions and things they're curious about!
That's right!
This time, among all the shows we've broadcasted so far,
we'll be sending you all of our favorite themes!
It's a special episode!
Yay! It's "episode" time!
Now, shall we move on to today's topic?
Yes!
Super Cute Animal Sushi Special!
Yay!
So, this time, we have two topics related to animals that were very popular!
First up...
Ta-da!
Why are you so good at cats?!
That was a pretty good scream!
Please don't listen to it.
And the other one is...
Ta-da!
Why is your pretty neck so long?!
That's an even longer scream!
It's a long scream!
Now, let's say it together!
Yes!
One, two...
Why are you so good at cats?!
So cute!
If you keep staring at me like that, I'm going to lose it!
You're right!
You're all so good at it!
Cats are so good at it!
Meow!
This is crazy!
They're so cute!
But why are they so good at it?!
Meow!
I want you to pay attention to me when I'm talking to you.
Like "Who is it?"
And at that moment...
Who is it, meow?
Actually, this person is not an ordinary person.
This is Dr. Kakuma, who studies the behavior of cats and other close animals.
This is a hint.
I don't know what it is.
Over there.
I don't know what it is.
Is this video a hint for cats to be nice to humans?
Something came out.
A tiger?
Isn't it a tiger?
What is it?
Is it aiming for something?
Something came out other than a tiger.
It's a table.
What is it?
A cat.
Certainly, all of them are animals of cats living in nature.
What is it?
One animal is acting alone.
Do cats often act alone?
Well done!
Actually, animals of cats are mostly acting with one animal in nature.
But you've always been with them, haven't you?
Why?
The reason why they're so good at living together with humans is because...
...unlike wild cats and animals that live alone, they live with humans?
That's another mystery.
What's going on?
Food?
Whether or not they'll get food is a matter of life and death for wild cats.
Then let's try it!
If they want food, they'll come to us.
Hot, hot, hot!
Food, food!
I'm getting excited.
No, I won't eat it.
Oh my!
They won't eat it.
What?
They won't eat it just by licking it.
Cats coming to us wasn't just because they wanted food.
Then why are cats so good at being sweet?
If it's not a cat, then it's a cat.
The cat's soul, which has always been one cat's soul,
I think it was looking for something like that.
Until it came to this world, it's been lonely.
This time's water park star's "soul" has come out.
AKB48!
We'll find out why cats are so good at being sweet!
This is a human brain, right?
What is it?
What are you doing?
Good morning!
Suddenly, a specialist in brain research, Dr. Shinohara, appeared.
I see, you're going to research a cat's brain.
Please sit here for a moment.
Me?
Please sit down.
What is it?
I'm going to put this machine on your head and research your brain.
Come here for a moment.
Hey, hey, why do you want to know why cats are so good at being sweet?
Then, all of a sudden, a suspicious machine appeared in Tomomi's head.
Hey, I'm an idol, you know?
Could it be a machine that can turn you into a cat?
A cat?
Yes, a cat.
No way!
A cat?
Yes, a cat that can turn you into a cat?
Yes, yes, yes!
That's an interesting machine, but unfortunately it's not.
Ah, no!
It's not!
My, my!
Oh, here comes the cat.
When the cat starts to be spoiled, Tomomi's brain will check how it reacts.
What will be the result?
This is the result of checking Kasai's brain.
The color of Tomomi's brain is completely different.
You can see that Tomomi's brain is more active than when the cat started to be spoiled.
What Mr. Shinohara noticed is that Tomomi's brain is full of emotions.
Tomomi's brain is full of human emotions.
In fact, Mr. Shinohara was investigating about Tomomi's brain.
When Tomomi saw that the cat was still far away,
Tomomi's brain was already red and active even before the cat started to be spoiled.
How strange!
Tomomi just saw the cat and had high expectations for the cat?
Mr. Shinohara was just daydreaming.
Does the cat think that maybe you spoiled the cat just because you said "I'm hungry"?
Yes, the cat's brain thinks so.
That's possible, isn't it?
Spirals, especially humans,
are highly developed in regards to imagining things in their minds.
For this reason, just by looking at or listening to someone,
we are very good at imagining
things in their own minds.
In other words, humans, regardless of what the cat thinks,
are creatures that think in their own minds
that just by looking at a cat, we spoil it.
I see.
It was a human misunderstanding, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
But, you know, when you like something about yourself,
it makes you want to do it.
It makes you want to do it, doesn't it?
I want to touch the cat.
What? What did you say?
Oh, look, Ibuki-san!
Cute!
Cat!
It's not a cat!
You're making me mad!
I said I want to touch the cat!
What do you mean?
There's a reason why I want to touch it!
Ibuki-san, if you'll excuse me, but can you show me your arm?
Please show me your arm.
(Humming)
It is said that humans feel comfortable when they are stroked at a speed of 45 cm per second.
Oh!
This is because it is similar to the speed at which mothers stroke their babies.
(Humming)
It is said that humans feel comfortable when they are stroked at a speed of 45 cm per second.
(Humming)
It is said that humans feel comfortable when they are stroked at a speed of 45 cm per second.
(Humming)
Let's move on to the next topic!
Why is a giraffe's neck so long?
Wow!
Let's start our investigation at the zoo!
(Humming)
Wow! It's big!
(Humming)
Wow! It's big! It looks like a shark!
Shark?
Huh?
Oh! It's a giraffe!
It's a giraffe!
Oh! It's a giraffe!
You finally showed up!
I've been waiting for you so long that I thought you would grow up to this neck!
By the way, why is your neck so long?
(Humming)
It's because it can do things that other animals can't.
Oh, because it's tall?
Animals with long necks can only be giraffes, right?
Why?
Why is that?
Ta-dah!
Yes!
Wow!
I'm surprised!
Huh?
It's related to giraffes.
Related to giraffes?
It's obviously suspicious, but let's ask anyway!
Why is your neck so long?
That's right!
I want to know!
I don't know!
Let's go!
Yes!
So, we finally came to...
Hmm? Parking lot?
Huh? Is this a grassland?
And what is this place?
This is called "Kirin-no-kubi-taiken-mashin"!
All right! Kirin-taiken, leave it to me!
Are we still going? Huh? Isn't it high?
Huh? Is it this high?
It's high!
It's about 5 meters high, just like Kirin's eyes.
Go! G-g-go!
Feels... Huh? Huh? Wait!
What's wrong, Nacchan?
Isn't there a grassland in the back?
Yeah.
I can see the enemy over there.
Huh? There's no enemy!
There's an enemy over there!
There's no enemy!
Again and again! You're always joking!
There's nothing here!
Even from Kirin's eyes, there's only grass!
I can see something moving.
There's an enemy over there!
There's no enemy!
There's an enemy in the back!
There's no enemy!
A beast of prey has jumped out of the grassland.
A.K.A. "Mean" is going to be eaten!
That's terrible!
Oh, right! When you become a giraffe...
You can see things in the distance, and you can also see enemies hiding in grasslands in the distance!
I see! You want me to solve the problem as soon as possible?
Here you go, giraffe stick!
What is it this time?
Let me explain!
The giraffe stick is a high-quality machine equipped with a small camera at the height of the giraffe's eyes!
What do you think?
Can you see anything?
I can see!
It's very low!
The scenery is completely different!
It's close to leaves!
Oh, it's true!
Delicious leaves are in front of you, and you have a long neck!
It's a good thing!
Now, what would you do if you were thirsty?
There's a river under your feet...
This is what you'd do!
This is the only way!
I've prepared wild water! Here you go!
Oh, there it is!
Now, let's try drinking water with a kirinbo.
- It's heavy! - No way!
- It's kind of heavy! - No way!
- You can do it! - You can do it!
- I can't drink water yet. - I'll carry you!
Wait!
- Ah, I drank it! - Ah, you drank it!
Can you drink water with a kirinbo?
- It's difficult. - It's difficult, isn't it?
Yeah, it's difficult, isn't it?
Actually, this person is a kirin-related person,
Professor Endo of the University of Tokyo.
He is a researcher who is very familiar with the mechanism of animals' bodies.
It was heavy and difficult to drink water.
- Even a real kirinbo... - Is it heavy and difficult?
- I think so. That's what I think. - Eh?!
- I wonder why. - Why?
The mystery only gets deeper and deeper!
What will you do, AKB48?!
Here we have an interesting VTR that Endo-sensei has prepared for us.
VTR? I've never heard of it before.
"Open your legs and drink"?
Huh? I've never heard of it before.
It's true that it's hard to drink.
But...
Is there anything like "it's hard to drink"?
Of course there is.
So, why did you take that risk and make your neck longer?
That's what it's about, right?
Isn't it because you're great?
What's great about it?
Your eyes from above.
Why does a giraffe have a long neck?
Here you go, Lion-kun.
Lion-kun?
What is it?
A plushie.
In this plushie, there is only one giraffe companion.
A giraffe companion?
In other words, it's a giraffe relative separated from their same ancestors, right?
I think it's this one.
Endo...
I think it's this one, too.
The answer is...
Yes?
It's a puppy!
A puppy?!
Is it a puppy?
A horse companion?
It's a giraffe!
It's a giraffe companion!
Hey! Listen to me!
It's this one, right?
Okapi.
I've never seen this before.
Kirin and Okaki are relatives, but why do they have such different necks?
Maybe it's because of where they live.
I wonder where Okapi is.
Forest?
Is this a grassland?
Yeah.
There aren't many trees around.
Yeah.
Good to know.
Okaki is an animal that lives in a forest where it's green and delicious.
On the other hand, Kirin is an animal that lives in a grassland area.
In fact, the grassland where Kirin lives is full of rice plants as far as you can see.
These rice plants are relatively malnourished and ineffective.
Because of this grassland, it's very advantageous for them to have long necks that can reach high leaves.
But wait a minute!
In the first place, why does Kirin have to live in a grassland full of rice plants?
If there were a lot of delicious leaves in the forest, she wouldn't have to grow out her neck!
A long time ago, on top of the earth's land, there used to be more forests than there are now.
And what has that changed to now?
The trees have disappeared.
Why?
Why do you think?
Why?
Water?
Rain?
Rain doesn't fall?
Rain doesn't fall and the big trees don't grow anymore, which is why the meadow has expanded?
That's right!
Wow!
That's cool!
Before the kirin appeared on earth, the land was covered in vast greenery.
However, about 20 million years ago, due to climate change on earth, there was an extremely dry season.
The trees in the forest have withered, and instead, the plants of the meadow, which are strong against dryness, have spread.
Therefore, the kirin's ancestors could not live in the meadow without rocks.
In other words, the plants of the meadow were the ones who extended the neck of the kirin!
By the way, the kirin is amazing, isn't it?
Wow, I didn't know that.
Even so, it has extended quite a bit.
But I wonder what the world the kirin is looking at is like.
What did you just say?
I said, "I wonder what the world the kirin is looking at is like!"
Then, let's go!
Huh? Can you ride a kirin?
Let's go!
Alright!
Here we go!
Goro Ibuki's...
I am ZIM-STAR!
Oh, here it is!
It's the giraffe that appeared in the video!
I'll hold the bridge over here.
Ibuki-san, please help me!
ZIM-STAR is so long!
You'll be surprised!
It's so long!
Even though it's so long, it doesn't have a giraffe.
Let's use this giraffe stick...
and feel the giraffe's eyes...
and see what it looks like!
This is Robin's bucket.
It's so high up!
You can see the staff of ZIM-STAR.
You can see us sitting.
How about this side?
This way too.
You can see up to the second floor.
Wee Yenser's flag looks so low.
You look happy!
No, no, no...
I'm so happy!
Let's move on to this segment!
The long-awaited...
Marie and Gary!
What's going to happen?
I wonder what's going to happen, too.
Yeah... I don't know...
Next morning, we'll be picking up your questions!
The members of akb48 will check them out for you!
We're also looking forward to hearing your thoughts about the show!
Please send in your questions to this address!
Ibuki-san, what's your question?
You know, in akb48, everyone has cute nicknames, right?
If I joined the group, what kind of name would I come up with?
Gorotta?
Gorotte?
Ibubu? Which one?
But all of them were bad!
Bad?
Don't say that!
Isn't there something like that?
What?
Gorogoro!
That's not a hair style!
Okay, Gorogoro-san!
Shall we say our last name?
Let's say it together!
One, two...
Suien-san!
